It's not that mobile games are bad, persay.
It's that Splinter Cell deserves an actual AAA game on the biggest screen possible.
But hey, publishers really love to put their head in the sand and blot out the obviousness sometimes.
Their list was absolute trash.
For me, I owned a ton of Nintendo consoles growing up, including an N64 instead of a PS1. I got a PS2 on launch, and for me, this was the console that I firmly believe to be the best console of all time. PS1 introduced so many franchises, but the PS2 transcended even the loftiest of expectations with its absolutely massive catalog, third party support and so on.
1. PS2
2. PS1
3. PS4
4. PS3
5. PSP

fiyah
oh....*that* argument.
Well, those "collection of pixels" are to represent something, right? they are meant to resemble human beings, correct?
As games get more advanced, with better graphics and the most "bankable" games pride themselves on "realism", we are only going to get *more* of these kinds of conversations.
every form of "art" has had their moment to cross the threshold in the grand hall of iden...
@TheOptimist He's not cocky, but his GDC talks make him into quite the pretentious egotist.
I'd probably add Phil Fish and Jonathan Blow to the list as well, but Fish had a mental breakdown and then left the industry, and Blow is holed up in his house, smelling his own farts.
Blow doesn't come across as cocky, but like Levine, he has no issue talking up his own intellect.
I disagree.
Microsoft had Cliffy B.
Sony had David Jaffe.
Nintendo had Shigeru Miyamoto
PC had John Romero
Others include: Ken Levine, Denis Dyack, Peter Molyneux, Ron Gilbert, Sid Meier, American McGee, Hideo Kojima, Michel Ancel, Kazunori Yamauchi, Todd Howard, Will Wright..
Cockyness gets you incredibly far in this industry. You become your own hype man, and many will dismiss your "cockyness" as "the...
Seeing a next-gen SOCOM would be absolutely incredible.
What happened to interesting racing games?
Wipeout, Modnation Racers, Motorstorm, Split Second, Blur...
I really miss Motorstorm :(
This makes me so happy.
"and so much more".
...What?
I absolutely adore the Metal Gear Solid games, but MGSV was an incredibly weak game. It made for a decent enough stealth experience, but the story (basically the glue that holds this entire franchise together) felt scattershot, derivative and quite frankly, uninterested in telling its own story past the opening segment.
I wouldn't blame Kojima for that, per say, it just feels like shaky work of a brilli...
I agree. Few actually think violent games turn people violent, just like how listening to Marilyn Manson or playing DOOM doesn't make you into a killer.
I've grown up with violent/sexual games, music, movies, and books and what I've learned is that it depends on the person playing them. I was huge into Unreal Tournament back in the day, along with Splinter Cell and Halo, and this article rings true for so many of the positive benefits that come from playing wit...
Ninja Gaiden for Xbox was an absolute masterpiece. What happened to that franchise?
I *really* hope you are being facetious.
My original account "RustedMan" I got rid of. Primarily because of the weirdly contentious debates going on that felt incredibly toxic to the community, and detrimental to the industry at large.
Gamers are insanely hard to please. They made a mistake, they are a T.I.N.Y. developer with a few dozen employees. They are working insanely hard to bring to fruition their initial pitch. How about we actually commend them for sticking to their game rather than chastise them for "LYING TO US ALL". Their previous games were Joe Danger, a digital storefront variant.
But please continue belittling an indie developer while *actual* evil publishers say, "screw it...
okay, I'll bite.
I friggin adored Arkane's version of Prey (it's basically the spiritual successor to System Shock that we never got) but I would have loved to see the bounty hunter iteration of the sequel as well, perhaps as it's own IP.
and it's the color of Nintendo's other favorite thing: money.
taika waititi is directing Akira. I think it's in good hands.
I loved Resistance 2, I didn't like the third one at all.
