I'm fairly certain that it's just a bunch of Resident Evil fanboys reflecting on the old days with rose-colored glasses, as fanboys are apt to do.

Not that the Resident Evil series isn't a monumental franchise for the industry, but nostalgia does nasty things to people.

This is alright, actually. It's an incentive, not a punishment like it is with most other games. You simply get some extra quests if you buy. There aren't any features taken out.

It wasn't "survival" horror, really, but it IS "horror," no matter how you slice it. Action horror though it may be, it's still horror.

If Dead Space isn't horror, then 'the Thing' isn't horror.

I'm sure fans of the original will love this one too. I don't know why there is so much bickering over these scores...

Oh wait...the internet.

Obviously you can't get too excited about this, seeing as they've made this exact same "announcement" countless times over the past what, seven years or so?

Still, I can't help but be a little optimistic...

No, apparently someone disagrees that YOU will only believe it when you install it...which makes as little sense as it sounds, hehe.

What is there to disagree with in that statement?

When iOS/Android devices grow physical buttons, and finally get a game that is anywhere near the quality of, say, Uncharted or Super Mario 3D Land, THEN they can start comparing these devices on the basis of "gaming."

From a multimedia standpoint, yeah ok. Whatever. You can have that one I suppose. All that shit's just icing on the cake as far as gamers are concerned.

But from a gaming standpoint, I don't care how you slice it: $1 games are ...

It doesn't make me particularly angry (because people are obviously just excited about the material), but that's exactly why I wasn't a bigger fan of video games live (and most concerts, for that matter). When I go to concerts and symphonies, I go to hear the music. Most people don't.

Personally, I think it's a little sad that the general mentality for mainstream concerts (outside of the rich, old folk crowd, of course) is that if you're not being ridi...

It's really primitive at this point, but even this early on something about the technique makes things look more...I don't know how to describe it, really. "Organic," maybe? Does that make sense?

I agree with him, with the caveat that Western developers are just as guilty of exploiting genre tropes.

The mainstream over there eats up androgyny, melodrama and flash, while the Western mainstream seems to be more enamored with military/space shooters starring quasi-homoerotic beefcakes as the main characters. People just need to keep in mind that this is "mainstream bullshit." Games like those don't grant leave to generalize the creative output of an entire...

Seriously. All "controversy" aside, this video was just a bunch of preachy bullshit. He's the kind of ambiguously educated, obnoxious atheist douche bag that makes the rest of us look bad.

Look, I love AC, but Ubi needs to take about 2 or 3 years and make a full-fledged AC3. Ezio's story has gone on long enough. Revelations was still good, but it REALLY feels like they're milking it at this point. AC is becoming the video game equivalent of LOST.

^ Yeah, people have come to associate the horror genre almost exclusively with scares, which I think is pretty much beside the point.

Dead Space doesn't really provide any kind of psychological horror, but it DOES conjure up some incredibly gruesome and horrific imagery.

It doesn't "make sense." None of it "makes sense."

How many industries restrict the resale of their products? What is it with the goddamn entertainment industry that makes them think their honest consumer-base has absolutely NO RIGHTS over the products they purchase!?

You goddamn, arrogant, greedy bastards.

I only got the first four. I can't believe I missed Bahamut from FFV.

Haha, yeah.

Agree = Like
Disagree = Dislike

It's the facebook culture, my friend.

@ Captain Qwark 9

CD Projekt has a very different business ethic than a lot of other video game companies, though.

A lot of people assumed the Witcher 2 would be designed for consoles first due to the somewhat disappointing sales of the original, but they opted to release a DRM-free PC version instead.
