From the article,
"Dear IdlePixels, my name is Chris Redfield. I'm 185 cm tall and I weigh in at approximately 98 kg. As the steroidal B.S.A.A. badass that I am, I shoot as well as uppercut zombies (not really) through doors in broad daylight. I'm also a tank, a walking turret, one with an inability to 'run-and-gun'. Four years ago I was atop the gaming scene under another name and face, Leon Kennedy, but while I have for the most part remained the same, a lot of gamers seem to have changed their opinions about me. A large percentage of my audience has grown to see me and my controls as broken and completely outdated. But am I really that much of a 'last-gen' mess?"
Square Enix launches Final Fantasy X 25th anniversary site, revealing new Nomura art, books, music releases, and merchandise.
Look I know VIII has its issues and all that but how on earth can the do big anniversary events with new artwork and merchandise for VII, IX and X yet VIII got sweet f*** all.
They could have given it something during its 25th anniversary yet all it got was a single Happy Anniversary post on their social media.
they should know that we are OG fans of VIII as it sold truckload as well. not as much as VII or X. I personally didn't like IX but X and VI are my personal fav.
Shadow Hearts 2 covenant is another game I love. I hope one day someone can make remake, I would be delighted
Final Fantasy VIII is great and you are always the first to defend it in the comments
A brutal reset, a smarter story, and a return to what made it great—Mortal Kombat (2011) revived the series.
Underrated comment. I used to hate that game so much that any time my siblings asked me to play it, I just picked Hom and shut myself down mid-match.
15 years went by so fast. I remember playing through the story mode at launch.
Why did Sony push Shuhei Yoshida out of his role leading PlayStation's first-party games? He'd overseen some huge successes. Well, apparently, he didn't listen.
Yeah I can see that for sure. Shuhei Yoshida should have been in charge not Jim Ryan.
It should be free highway for him now.. but Sony are too stupid to see this, especially that moron Hulst
Wtf why all that anger. PlayStation is dominating on every level. Besides I think there is a little more to hiring a CEO than just who is available. Its not like its a athlete your team wants to buy.
S2Killinit
live service failures, chasing trends, closing studios. yes dominating
Sony is Dominating because competition is not existing. Compared to previous gens this is the poorest in terms of software offerings.
Last gen we got Uncharted 4 Lost Legacy and TLOU2 from ND alone.
This is so far a remasters gen, with no competition to lift up the quality
..."PlayStation is dominating on every level"....
...Really???
PlayStation are soon heading into a new generation in the not to distant future. They currently have the worst customer satisfaction they've ever sustained as a company. The company is heading for a huge crash while at the same time they'll need to be planning how they are going to try and win back that favour and the build up to their new releases.
Yes financially they're winning but they're going to have to ride out this complete public corporate disaster. No one has faith in the company or the product anymore. They've damaged their public image so much this generation. Greed can kill anyone.
He would've done the same thing and fire Jim Ryan and Shuhei would be the villain. Why?
Because Elite creates the narrative and distraction for gamers, users and citizens.
More confirmation that Jim Ryan is the culprit for what has happened to Sony. Hulst needs to go too. What sucks is that a lot of the good top heads at Sony are no longer there. I wish that guys that were forced out prematurely by Dumbo Jimbo like Shuhei and Layden came back.
Yep. Yoshida was responsible for bringing one of the best games of this generation to playstation (Stellar Blade). He is an actual gamer and is in touch with what gamers want (creative, fun games, not GaaS and agenda pushing). He also seems like a genuinely nice guy if you watch some interviews. Of course they got rid of him.
Makes you wonder if MS even thought about hiring him after Phil and Sarah were leaving. He certainly couldn't make their situation any worse.
All the gamer/consumer lead heads are gone across PS and Xbox. shuhei gone phil's gone (questionable) but gone. The future of gaming is somewhat uncertain across the board.
All the NOOBS complaining about the controls and just a bunch of bandwagon jumpers who never played RE4. If they change the controls it wouldn't be a Resident Evil game.
its the new trend in video games. HATE!
Hate RE5 for keeping perfectly to a tried and tested formula of RE4.
Controls of RE5 work fine. They worked in RE4 they work fine in RE5.
The NO run and gun is a good feature. Run and gun games are annoying and unrealistic. Look at Call of Duty. In COD2, Try running and gunning in an online match. You end up DEAD, hitting only air. Try run and gunning in Day of Defeat. Try using a machine gun from hip. You end up hitting the air.
Nowdays games are getting more easy and noobified. COD4 I got 2.5 k/d ratio. Most of the time you can go with HEAVY Machine gun, juggernoob and spray without even aiming. Weapons are too accurate, nearly zero recoil, nearly no spread. More noobish run and gun that people call "next gen" are flagship shooters of both X360 and PS3, Halo and Resistance. When playing online on MGO, spraying and running gets you killed. Bullets at body do not do alot of damage, but headshot instance kill. COD4, Assault Rifles you needed 2 headshots for a kill (try it)
On COD:W@W, Why bother using bolt action rifles? Everyone just goes running and spraying with Thompson. I just use Bolt Action Rifles due to the feel, but if I get pissed off from dieing I go Machine Gun + Juggernaut and spray.
In these times where alot of games are too shallow spraying noob feasst. I welcome an HD version (But in Africa) of Resident Evil 4. I loved that game, and I will love RE5. I already love the demo and always playing it Co-Op online. Why bother fixing something that is not broken.
What exactly makes a game next gen too? Gears is next gen? Well Wingback and Kill.switch play perfectly the same. Its last gen lets hate it!!! Call Of Duty 4+ was made worse then COD1 and 2 yet you call it Next gen? Its not even Last gen in terms of gameplay feel (We are not talking about graphics). Even Medal Of Honour: Allied Assault beats COD4 and W@W in gameplay department.
Resident Evil 4 was fine. Its still hailed as one of the best games ever made. Whats wrong on keeping true to that formula? It worked fine then, it works fine now. Don't call it Evolution crap. The only thing in PS3 and X360 evolved are graphics only. Not controls, not how you interact with the game, not even how is the game (We can all agree that top games are all a thing from the past).
I will buy RE5, or RE4 HD: Africa Edition, 1st day. I loved RE4 and I will love RE5. If you headshot the zombies there seem to be a connection between RE4 and RE5. Controls are more then fine with me, its typical Resident Evil, and I'm fine with that. I want to play Resident Evil, not another game.
PS. As some of you people say, I am not buying RE5 because I have no games to buy. I am buying SF IV and Killzone 2 1st day too. Its because I am a GAMER.
confimed.
