Yeah. I'd rather have something that will extend the life of the game (bonus missions) than something that would ultimately make it easier (feature enhancement suits).
Totally agree. Even though Portal 2 is a much bigger game than its predecessor in almost every facet, I also felt it was much easier. And I have to agree with the author in regards to the "on rails" nature of the game. It seemed that while solving puzzles, you could either do extremely right (almost too right at times) or just plain couldn't get it. With Portal 1, particularly during the later stages of the game, I always got those "sit at the edge of your seat" moment...
My thoughts exactly. Among the many reasons why I'm becoming more and more of a fan of devs like From Software (Demon's Souls).
"I know a lot of gamers complain about getting value for money from their games and how expensive games are when they only last six hours: well I'm going to do the opposite. My time is precious, I'm a 35 year old gamer with a family and any time I get on the PS3 needs to be a fulfilling and efficient experience."
Thankfully, this guy doesn't speak for the gaming community as a whole. Besides, sadly this gen has seen more than its fair share of 4-hour g...
Wow. The Adventures of Bayou Billy. Forgot all about that one. Man, I'm old, lol.
I agree to the fullest. I'm not sure of the validity of this claim, but this REALLY needs to come to fruition. And that you've mentioned it, the only thing that would concern me about a possible sequel would be the quality of the motion capture and voice acting, considering that NT did such a superb job with the tools they were given. The production value and quality of presentation is in a league of its own.
Surprised to see that none of the N64 gems made that list. NWO vs WCW Revenge was a beast.
That would be amazing.

...are among the many reasons why I hate this day.
I have the Sonic Genesis Collection as well. And you are right about Comix Zone. Sega needs to do a sequel or HD remake along the likes of what Capcom did for the remake of Bionic Commando (Rearmed of course, not the 3D remake).
Exactly. Gaming is indeed becoming an upper-class luxury. Long gone are the days where the only thing you had to pay for extra content was time and dedication to beating a game on the most difficult setting.
"...does this mean exploitation of gamers will become common practice for major titles in the future?" -author
Sadly, the exploitation of gamers has already become common practice for major titles in the future, present, or otherwise.
I agree. Now granted, some multiplats get some deserved slack, particularly regarding the subpar ports. However, this year multiplatforms have been at the forefront of my most anticipated games for this year; ME2, ME3, Portal 2, Dark Souls, L.A. Noire, and Op Flashpoint R.R., with the lone exclusive, Uncharted 3 falling somewhere within the middle.
But as far as the article is concerned, I also agree that system exclusives are extremely vital. It would make for a stale gami...
My 60GB YLOD'd and I got it fixed immediately after. The very next day, while trying to transfer my files to my new Slim, it crapped out on me again. And if that wasn't enough, Sony announces a few weeks later Cloud Storage on PSN, after I lost EVERYTHING off my HDD. Great /s. I took it back for repairs and got it fixed for free, but haven't touched it since.
Nice to have studios like QD around for my mature-themed title fix. The industry need more devs like them - or as Mr. Cage puts it, "auteurs".
"lol, why?"
The producer's not referring to the difficulty challenge of the game. Here's the quote...
"There will be several ways to end the game similar to how it was in Demon’s Souls. But the endgame is not really the focus at all. In a sense I dare not require a player to complete the game. There is a completion point but it’s a game where the user can choose not to complete it, just live in this world for eternity." -Hideta...
Going by the demo, this MK has the potential of being the best of the series. And it does have a MKII vibe to it.
My point exactly. Who's to say that 2K would've had that same fire lit under them had EA never intended to release a bball game. Lack of competition is a large reason why the Madden franchise is so stagnant.
"Looks like they should just quit making Basketball games in general."
I have to respectfully disagree. Competition engenders innovation, even when it's crappy like the ill-fated NBA Elite.
