To be honest, I utterly hate some of the changes in art direction they've made, but overall it's hard to argue with a nice HD overhaul like this.
Thank god. Sonic fanboys are some of the most annoying in the industry. I rather Sega continue to improve 3D Sonic, rather than just making money off nostalgia by rehashing the same 20 year old gameplay.
How is Halo Anniversary "basically the same" as Halo Reach?
Anyways, I'll get Halo Anniversary day one, and probably rent BF3. Don't care about CoD 2k11
I love this series and I'm all in favor of UC3 getting great reviews, but some of the stuff in this review just doesn't make a god damn lick of sense.
UC3 may have a good choice of single/multiplayer modes, but hardly enough variety and flexibility to get lasting appeal/replay value a 10, especially in comparison to other content heavy games IGN has scored lower in the same category. The campaign is a linear affair, so aside from trophies, there's not a lot of inc...
Power is going to be less of a concern for the Wii U than its predecessor. No doubt PS4/720 games are going to be better looking, but at least the Wii U will support all the shaders and many of the feature those next gen games do. That was the problem with the Wii, it just didn't support the shaders and other current gen graphical standards to bring multiplatform games to life on the system.
At first the ONM review still had me skeptical since it IS a Nintendo magazine, but holy fuck if Edge says this game is epic then it probably is.
Metacritic and Gamerankings says otherwise.
Disappointing launch? The game has sold incredibly well so far given that it's a new IP and the scores have generally been in the 80+ range. That's a success if I saw one.
Honestly there are so many big games coming out that I think it'd be better for them to just delay it until Q1 next year. Some companies have their betas closer to release than others, but BF3's beta was downright late. You just can't have a beta a couple weeks before the game has to go gold and expect to test and implement all these gameplay changes.
Sounds logical. Nintendo comes to market in 2012, only makes sense for Sony and M$ to follow up the following year
Gotta give it to Forza. It's framerate is rock solid, has motionblur, and is generally the more consistently good looking game out of the two. Yea GT5 sure has its moments, but it's very inconsistent. For every time it looks amazing there's also a time where it looks like a dud, with some of its PS2 car models or jaggy shadows for example.
Also this isn't really the best comparison video for anything other than framerate analysis. I can't really say which...
Well also think, they didn't have this super long 3 year dev cycle like most Halo games. The scope of the project isn't big enough to dedicate all these months and manpower to rebuilding the combat system from the ground up to function with Kinect.
Maybe something like that is feasible for Halo 4, but just don't expect any huge new features out of a smaller scale game put together by a couple of small teams in only a year.
This is actually sorta cool. I probably wouldn't use it for gameplay purposes, but the whole library/scanning thing is awesome. One of the most addicting things from the Metroid Prime games was the scanning, so I think this will be a very welcome feature.
Especially Kameo. That game had a cliffhanger from hell. I'm sorta glad they cancelled that hyper-realistic "mature" sequel they started on though.
Damn that looks legit, and good too. I've been really sick of the menu system they have used since Halo 2. I mean it's effective, but the interface is damn near the same in all of the recent Halo games.
I'm all down for good games coming to the Wii U, but unless they do some sort of trilogy pack with all 3 games this is about as god damn pointless of a port as they come.
No more god damn 3rd party characters. Seriously people this is a mash up of NINTENDO characters. The only slightly acceptable 3rd party characters are Rare's mascots like Banjo, Conker, etc. since they were Nintendo exclusives.
Off the top of my head I'm down to see Waluigi, Midna, Isaac, Banjo, Conker, etc.
Looks pretty cool so far
For me it's Forza 4, Steel Battalion, Haunt, Project Draco, and Ryse.
I'm so pissed about this. XIII was great, almost had a Goldeneye sort of feel to it. I wish more than anything we got a real sequel.
