will the gravity manipulation gun play like Half Life 2's gravity gun?
I quite like the screenshots though, nice amount of detail in each screen. Now the question is, will the real game look like this when running?
That's both sad and scary at the same time.....
WTF?!?!
This game is gorgeous; will only a photo realistic art style get top marks now? This is no less than a 9.5 in my book.
I certainly hope so, that is what the rating is for!
Gotta love those brown eyes.........
It's ok say "We worked hard at this game and we were aiming for the best throughout production, I am glad we managed to achieve that". I wonder if saying "oh we didn't expect much" and then getting great reviews could come across as patronising. It's a little like some saying they are crap at a sport and then whipping your ass at it.
I completely agree with all your points about multiplayer. I preferred the days where multiplayer meant more than one person in the room, with you, talking to you and playing on the same console! It's the one thing I think the Wii has about right.
Online multiplay doesn't really interest me and because of that, buying a full priced always seems like a bit of a rip off because I am paying for a large online element I have no interest in using.
But, I think I can actua...
It isn't true that the casual and female gamer is an audience Sony didn't want to know. Sony have been targeting casual and female demographics fairly strongly since the PS2 days. The difference between Sony and Nintendo is that Sony haven't *focused* on that market. Where casual and female are more of a sub-market for Sony, for Nintendo the casual has been the strategic focus.
To say casual is an "audience not even Sony wanted or knew about" is complete rubbish.
that was confusing. So the message was that are working on the game? And that the "episode zero" content will be four chapters delivered over 3 volumes? WTF?
The mind boggles when thinking about this game. How can they release essentially the same game (with slight variations of course) year on year and still sell it? Assuming that people aren't stupid enough to buy every iteration, that means there can't be enough people to really keep this game at the top week on week.
Which means.....there really are people who buy one every year.
Also, good to see DIRT there, I think it's an incredibly well polished package. Great gam...
Since when is a review Sony hate?
Since when does writing/reading a review mean you HAVE to buy the hardware?
This isn't Sony hate at all. It's just a review, nothing more, nothing less.
why is it so bad?
Does anyone know the slogan that went with these images?
it is a PSP game. It was originally for mobile phones which as a game platform in japan is quite big but as it isn't so much here in the west the decision was made to port it to the PSP.
I think the graphics look ok for a psp game. Not amazing but not bad.
it allows the controller to be tracked in 3d space. this can't be done on the wii controller. Admittedly though, this particular example doesn't show that off.
it feel more like the Final Fantasy of old with Uematsu behind the musical wheel. it just feels more.......right.
It's a complicated subject; trying to understand what appeals to each market. I especially liked the part that described in Japan you can sell feelings and moods but in the US marketing is more focused on content and the kind of things you will be doing in the game.
how does he spinning that chain round when he has those big claws in the way? I think the chain literally goes through the claws!
This game has down amazingly well in reviews....I think it might be the first racing I will pick up this gen!
And why shouldn't they, it's a great example of why they became a fan in the first place!
New to the series people will buy because it's a great action-platformer to pick up and fans will buy because it has all the elements they like.
So, it's got to be a win right?
