Another day, another freak. Welcome to episode 15 of Controller Freaks where James joins Aaron and I once more for more discussion about many things…including such hits as:
Sonic ’06 and the train wreck that is Sonic the Hedgehog, Metal Gear Rising rants, God of War Ascension (and the best segue ever), The Last of Us, putting PS3 games on next-gen systems, cliché Star Fox references, Heavy Rain vs. The Last of Us, Press X to Jason apps, how the new Dragon Ball Z movie will probably be bad, the Super Sentai/Power Rangers lesson you never wanted, cell phone screen revolutions, internet rumors (or how to rile up James), and Facebook mind games
Thanks for joining us once again. We’ll probably be back next week. Let’s hope the government doesn’t cut funding before then.
The Last of Us Part I PS5 review covering visuals, combat feel, accessibility, performance modes, and whether it is really worth the asking price of $69.99.
A new court filing in Sony’s lawsuit against Tencent reveals that Tencent pitched a Last of Us game after Sony rejected its earlier Horizon project.
It’s strange that Tencent wants to make games that Sony makes already and does a great job. I could see asking about reviving a franchise but current franchises don’t make much sense.
It's not strange at all. They're big on copying successes, not on developing their own.
That was pretty much the norm for several years. a big hit gets released, then you start to see clones. God of War and then Dante's Inferno. Gears of War and then Quantum Theory. Those are just a couple but there are plenty more.
Its been the same with movies and tv shows for decades.
Its pretty much the standard tbh
I mean how many cinematic universes and multiverses have we seen in the last 10 years
Give 'em SOCOM/Killzone/Resistance/inFa mous? (defo: not Uncharted tho)
Guys when I am not gaming or watching media, I will read or listen to books for entertainment. There are a bunch of great books out there with stories that are super interesting.
I don't understand why these studios won't try to do an adaptation of some of those books instead of trying to copy each other.
Some of the best games around were adapted from some of these books.
Ben from Netto's Game Room takes a look at 7 video games where dying doesn't mean the end, as the story and world simply continue on without you.
