Heck no. It's their biggest franchise and what made Valve great in the eyes of gamers. I am more than certain that it will sell more than any game before it (if it gets released of course) :D
Nothing groundbreaking yet... come on Sony.
edit: Also, STOP TALKING ABOUT SHIT AND SHOW US, damn it!
edit #2: HOLY SHIT WATCH DOGS!
I can sympathize with the rest of the studio and since we don't really know the whole story (there's been a ton of speculation whether Gearbox actually spent most of the time polishing Borderlands 2 instead of working on A:CM) we shouldn't accuse the entire team for the mess. Maybe they were like "hey, weren't we suppose to be working on that Aliens game" and the executives went like "oh don't worry about that, we sent that demo to outsourcing companies so w...
It doesn't really matter. With every passing year more and more companies are switching to "console only" strategy, with PC being an after thought. So what if we have 10 x more powerful PC's when the majority of games are just console ports (and not even good ones)?
Way too early to form any kind of strong opinions. Just concept art an several seconds of in-game footage. Needs more coverage. Pronto.
I wasn't talking about its usability. I was merely stating my own disagreement with their design choice (why fix what ain't broke, eh). No need to get angry with a personal preference.
Why? Aren't hints and icons on the screen enough? Or is this something they had to copy from Nintendo? Maybe for shortcuts but even that seems rather excessive. Whatever.
I am sorry, but that's just ugly in my eyes. It might feel great to hold and play but that square in the middle is just... wrong.
I am not really surprised anymore. Ever since Blizzard showed their famous "we're releasing our game when it satisfies our high quality standards" with Diablo 3, it is become blatantly obvious that most big gaming companies are just essentially, big pile of liars. Now, there are still a number of decent companies that tend NOT to create hype for their games (they leave their fans to do that job for them, Valve *cough*) but their number is fairly small.
The prob...
It is still early to tell though lets be honest - the real difference between, hell, high and Ultra on the original Crysis was apparent from a mile away. This... just isn't there. Yet. Or maybe it won't live up to that standard, I don't really know until the game is out. Don't get me wrong - the game does look great, though the graphical improvement from Crysis 2 - Crysis 3 just doesn't seem THAT substantial in the first place.
Have you been living under a rock or something? Half Life is arguably the best FPS game of all time, if not one of THE best games ever made.
What happens with the all devs at THQ? Will they be laid off or will they join the companies that will acquire the rights for the franchises?
Gotta agree with their No.1 choice - Diablo 3 was a HUGE letdown to hardcore Diablo fans. For a decade we've been waiting for a sequel and all we got was a shortened, dumbed down and truth be told, RUSHED game that felt nothing like its predecessors. That in itself is a huge disappointment. Not to mention the RMAH and the severe lack of replaybility.
I spent around 300 hours playing Diablo 3 in the initial, sleep-deprived frenzy. Now, several months later I don't eve...
How about Max Payne (an actual sequel). That action game Rockstar delivered last year was anything but a Max Payne sequel (they cut out all the important things that made that game great).
Gimmicks, gimmicks everywhere.
Did I ever say it was a bad game? Did I even hint at some gameplay flaw or inconsistency? My observation was tied to the somewhat lackluster use of "trait" survival horror elements (such as scarce ammo, overwhelming odds, etc) which didn't characterize Dead Space as a game. It is a great shooter with a horror theme and some set-pieces but it can never be classified as true survival horror. And since you point me as a "casual" type of gamer, I suggest playing some Silen...
Dead Space 3? No. Just no. The first one had, eh, some moments. Then the second one kinda ruined it. And now with the co-op in mind with the third, you cannot possibly expect it to be scary. That is of course, if you don't find undead monstrosities jumping out of cleverly concealed containers every five minutes to be actually scary. If not, hooray for you.
Far Cry 1 was great due to it being the very first free roaming, sandbox shooter. Though 3 surpasses it in every possible way (won't even mention the second, cause, ya know... cancer!)
Will they ever stop yapping about that Two Souls... thing? It's not even a real game. Freaking Heavy Rain syndrome. Go and make a damn movie, rather than waste our time with a quick time event driven crap.
Yes, yes it is ignorant and it is hateful but at least I am being sincere. Why so much hype for something that is obviously obscure and cannot even be factored into gaming (even as a niche market). PS3 owners will tear me to pieces but this is really their thing, isn&#...
The social integration into the hard core console market will NEVER work. It is from the same reason why gamers don't play casual crap from Zynga and other companies that are focused on social media platforms. This merging will not happen just because people want to play with their friends. This is just wishful thinking on their part.
If Sony wants the PS4 to work they should focus on providing more games and ways to improve the gameplay experience, not making a huge fus...
