Half-Life (only Half-Life 2 for me) is probably the only game out of those series I'd put above Halo.
This is a good ad, even though fairly straightforward.
It addresses the biggest problem amongst casual consumers, that being they see it as just another DS redesign. I have to explain to so many people at work (Gamestop) that even though it has DS in the name it's totally brand new hardware. And we even have some people still wasting their money on the DSi XL when the 3DS is going to match it's price in only days, and I try to tell people that but they just don't ...
If Halo is the best FPS franchises, these aren't the reasons.
The real reasons is that it has constantly brought innovations to the genre that have been copied time and time again. It showed that an FPS can be done well on console and thus has had its control scheme copied ever since. It brought us the, again now standard, 2 weapon/grenade/melee system we've seen for years now. Halo brought us matchmaking and defined what console multiplayer is supposed to be. Halo br...
ZOE2 FTW.
We need a sequel to that way more than any other Kojima game (seriously, I know MGS is awesome, but they have a game at least every year if you count portable entries).
I'm glad Bungie can at least admit it. If only they hadn't had to scrap their engine and the e3 demo had made it into the game. The e3 2003 demo is so legendary, and no game even Halo 3 nor Reach, has had a level that epic.
If this is an MMO hopefully Bungie rewrites what an MMO should be and do for the genre what they did for FPS. I generally can't stand MMOs. Horrible story-telling, no voice acting, GARBAGE combat, they are just some of the most game-y feeling, unimmersive experiences, ironically.
I just don't understand though. The 3DS gets a price cut and now it's suddenly doomed to fail in the eyes of many (for some reason)? Seriously it just gets fucking old seeing 100 of these same articles a week.
Yea the system had a weak launch, but we saw a shitstorm of those articles months ago when the system released. It's not really relevant now. The 3DS is getting an awesome price cut, and has a AAA game almost every other month through the rest of the year. ...
These articles are getting so annoying.
Yea Retro has done awesome work, but I'm just worried how their future work will be affected since two of their lead designers left since DKCR released.
Word, hopefully Nintendo doesn't outsource development to namco again. I wouldn't mind to see Retro take a stab at a new Star Fox game to be honest.
I'd say I love the series overall. SF64 is definitely everyone's favorite, and though many scoffed at it, Star Fox Adventures was an amazing Zelda clone even though it didn't feel like "Star Fox"
NOOOOOOO!
Hopefully they revisit it on the PS4 then. Though the UC series is great, I like the Jak series significantly more. I'd much rather have a game as imaginative and fantastic as the Jak world as opposed to UC which is just a normal dude in a normal world running around shooting people.
So he's a fanboy just because he thinks the Move has better software than Kinect? You don't have to be a fanboy of any system to make that observation.
Move actually has some 90+ AAA titles out for it and software worth caring out about whereas Kinect is all shit like Carnival games and Kinect Sports.
Ugh I hate this. They definitely should have done something with the regular bold, red, logo and something more eye catching. I don't really feel like this gives people a real idea of what this game is.
Did you read the article? It's been said before too, but Kinect isn't going to be integrated into the actual gameplay mechanics.
Thinks more in line with a character model viewer where you could rotate models, or even voice command to go to navigate the menus of the game.
Favorite game from the series. I'd love for Crystal Dynamics to revisit it after the new Tomb Raider
These suggestions are sorta dumb, but yes Pokemon definitely needs some updating.
Damn, so many awesome people have left Retro. I hope they don't become the next Rare :/
This list is only games of the holiday season.
Metroid Prime and Half-Life 2? Really? I can see the others even if I don't agree, but I don't see how you had those other two games on there.
