Since Spore is launching soon, a sandbox gameplay experience outlining the growth of creatures through a user created universe, we decided to catch up with Maxis Software executive Patrick Buechner.
WhatIfGaming: Talk to us. We know you're very busy, and can see that given that Spore is so close. Busy?
Patrick Buechner: Definitely a busy time of the year! Spore will be in stores on September 7 in North America and September 5 in Europe, so we're constantly getting ready for those dates.
WhatIfGaming: How does the team feel now that Spore has recently gone gold and is finished?
Patrick Buechner: The team at Maxis is definitely excited by the upcoming launch and it's been what we've been working since we started over 2 years ago with this project and the time is finally here."
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.
Console versions
How different. Bah. It sounds like Civ Revolution
Not that i mean civ rev was bad. it was good.
