Minor flub on my part. I will accept my punishment of Two Worlds.
The reviews are incredibly polarized with this title. It seems to be a "try it for yourself" type of game.
I haven't finished the first one yet, but this game looks better and better with every review I read. I really wish I had more time to play because I know I'll never play anything else if I get this game and I have far too big a backlog.
Definitely not "scraped" As KillYourFM pointed out, I've been writing the article since the day that I saw the news from Reggie. He actually proofread it yesterday and we held off on publishing it until today due to an abundance of content yesterday.
Or will the ones not a part of that evolution (i.e. major game studios) just have to adapt to the new conditions to keep successful as outlined in the article?
I agree entirely. I loved Angry Birds, downloaded all of the different versions and played them to death, but I'm done with them after a few months and will only go back to them while in waiting rooms or in a car ride. Unlike games like Borderlands and RDR, where I constantly go back to them, even after beating them.
Well one would generally think that Guitar Hero is viewed as the "edgier" of the two franchises.
Which is strange, since "Shit" was censored when that same song was DLC for Guitar Hero II.
I completely agree. Everyday I think about this game, I like it more and more. This is has gone from a "I'll probably rent it at some point" to "Top of my GameFly Q" to "Click Pre-Order on Amazon Now!"
The humor and new take on the genre really feels fresh.
I definitely think that the companies, communities, and journalists share the blame for how things are going right now. The journalists foster the communities with their quality (or lack thereof) of content, the communities demand a certain style from the journalists, and the game companies are slaves to what both groups vocally demand. It's very symbiotic. The cycle is just waiting to be broken, however.
Gotta love the Black Label Society though!
I think there's a revival coming in the video game journalism field. Sites are starting to speak out against half-assed "reporting" and the community is starting to voice its disgust as well.
The sensational reactionary journalists make a lot of noise and bring a lot of attention to the issue, but the true revolutionists are the ones that actually follow through with the change.
This made me immediately go download it. Afterwards, playing it made me immediately go pre order it lol
That was a statement made by Harmonix very early on. They claimed right after they were sold that they'd be continuing their work the only way they've known for the foreseeable future.
As a faithful and completely happy Droid user, this really makes me want to borrow an iPhone haha
Sounds right up my alley.
Yeah I really enjoyed that about the interview too. That's the plus side of being an independent dev I suppose!
What incredibly blatant and shameful link baiting for hits.
Yeah, over in the US, I've never successfully pricematched at an EB/GS
Wish they did though, some of those credit deals would really pay off then.
From what I've seen, this promo ended 2 days ago... Am I missing something on their site?
@rage
I recommend you take another look at the article. I did no hating whatsoever. I'm excited for this game myself, but I found myself questioning their marketing campaign.
People Can Fly's Creative Director even personally reached out to me and said he found the article interesting, but recommended to everyone to read the entire thing before you make judgment.
