Gamer 2.0 reports:
''We have been following Spore for some time now – seeing demonstrations dating back to one held by Will Wright at E3 2006 – and every time it looks like a finished game. This time, however, that may have been true at our recent demo opportunity at EA's Winter 2008 Preview event in New York City. With the game a mere month from release we came away with a few more tidbits on top of the information we've already covered in our earlier looks at the game. So, let's take a look at some of the things we haven't seen yet.
The Maxis designer we spoke to took us on a whirlwind tour of some of the ways the team has been working on connecting the experience of the different stages of evolution so that it gave Spore players the feeling that there was a real progression with consequences to your decisions. There is now a Spore timeline that will show the evolution of your creature through the different stages of the game, including your social and hostile actions towards other creatures and every minute detail of your progression.
Other somewhat minor additions include abilities that you earn depending on your play style, achievements, and a grouping mechanic called the Sporecast. As you progress through the game, your play style will affect the first two new features so that if you're a herbivore in the cell stage you'll earn an ability like Siren Song that is useful in following stages, giving you the power to serenade aggressive enemies into a spell providing you time to escape. You can also earn achievements for accomplishments related to a specific play style, like cultivating a majority of good relationships with other creatures, which in turn unlocks items and other goodies. One achievement we particularly liked was called "Déjà vu," which you earn for running into one of your other creations if it so happens to randomly generate, a mechanic Spore uses to populate areas in your game with user generated content from the entire Spore community.
From Xfire: "Anyone who's played video games for a couple of years has stuck around long enough to stumble across a few weird ones. Some are even quite popular, which is all the more reason why you'll wonder what made the developers think about making such a game and why people are loving it, despite its weirdness anyway. Not all weird video games are head-scratches. Some are actually quite good."
The stick of truth is a must have for any South Park fans. I spent a good afternoon on Goat simulator, a rare real open world. I planned to try hatoful boyfriend since it was free on Ps Plus. Disco Elysium is on my radar since the final cut came out; as soon as there is a discount, i will take it. Like movies, i like weird games too :)
From Xfire: "The four-hour director's cut known as Zack Snyder's Justice League has led to the discussion of movies in the past that might have fared a whole lot better had they been released to be more in line with the original vision of their creators. But, as it turns out, cut content doesn't just happen in movies. In fact, the act of cutting content before the release date happens arguably just as often in video games as it does in cinema."
I can't believe they cut stuff from Skyrim. At release, it was a barebones game with a slight improvement in graphics.
"Now, before we proceed, we'd like to say that Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain is one of the best video games ever made. It's not just a fine piece of gaming. It's one of the finest there is"
Really?
MGSV is easily the worst main line MGS game and not just because of cut story content, the open world is bare bones and there's hardly anything to do. It's repetitive, samey and is just lifeless. I appreciate the stealth mechanics, the animations and the way you can go with combat but it's not enough to keep me engaged the full way through.
Kojima should have done a twist and make the main chunk of the game a Metal Gear & Metal Gear 2 remake to bring the story full circle.
Story issues aside, V has amazing gameplay. I'm not sure what you're wanting out of the world in terms of "things to do", it's all the great gameplay the series has always had. Useless filler that other open worlds have like collecting flags and petting horses would have added nothing to that game.
THE TRUTH! I don't even know how that game gets praised. The previous ones were so much better.
While we have witnessed a lot of remakes, remasters and even sequels to games a decade old. There are still some gems that are close to my heart that are lost to me. Here are some classic games that I'd love to either see remakes or remasters of, or even a sequel on new hardware.
