creative talent....? I know 3 people that have worked on the game thus far.Reliable co-workers I have worked with in the past. 2 of them have done pre-viz/concept art,and another modeling/texturing for the game.In fact he is still working on it as I type...What I do know,is that it is in full production,this is not a "test",or proto-type...
This is an old fashioned tease or hype build up attempt!
This game drips with style and creativity...
What I want is more Ratchet and Clank Acit news/screens...Probably incoming at Comic con in a couple days...
Plus just what is the new North Carolina studio of Insomniac working on these past Months? Is it that "rumored" Action RPG/Platformer? I hope so...
A bit confusing,but.....
But my quess or take is that they would "ask" for lets say $5 from each fan.With 4 million fans giving $5 each they would have $20 million to build/dev the game...These fans would then get a free copy.Or in this case a free download of the game.
Devs get paid,company/studio gets back their costs,fans only pay $5...
They would also cut out packaging,and retail stores,all the shipping etc,etc...No producers looking ...
After reading these points I am putting this on my most anticipated short list...
Multiplayer planned...
Open World FPS using Id's new Tech 5 engine...
You get a vehicle that you get to keep throughout the whole game (it appears that way anyways), that you can upgrade and personalize.
There appears to be quest like structure to the game, you get quests from people and complete them.
-You can build stuff like weapons and ...
Lots of shooters,and some fighters out there...But where are the platformers? A act/adv/platformer like " * Conker *" would be my choice...
Rare are probably working on 4 projects. All with some tie into Natal.I am sure one is mini game casuals based...
KI3 and PD2 would be the biggest money makers for them IMO. But if they come out with a Conker,or proper Banjo platformer,or a Kameo 2 act/adv,done with full force,and Microsofts backing it could do very...
Could anyone that has played the game tell me how far the "In game graphics" are from the cinematic ones?....Thanks...
I already know that the gameplay is great,and something well worthwhile...
Oh wow...thanks for the tip,bubbles to you....
A Weapon/Tool creation system would be fantastic...Adding a new gameplay mechanic would add lots of depth in user created levels....
I recall in an interview a few Months back,wish I had a link,that Alex Evans mentioned a "melting gun" idea.Perhaps that would be one of the R&C DC extras....
R&C is about as good as it gets for extras in the LBP World....I cannot wait to see and hear mo...
Yup,my hopes are not high for Last guardian,it'll probably be unveiled more at TGS,but you still can leave the window of hope open a bit....As for Beyond good and evil 2,well that I know I will see something more on,as some artists I have worked with in the past will be there,if not a "official" showing,I can at least get some behind the scenes looks through their reels and portfolios....
What have you heard on R&C DC for LBP? I thought it was just going to be cos...
I am sure all the heavy hitting games will be there in full force...
Last guardian,Beyond good and evil 2 (multi-plat),A new IP and or more on LBP from Media Molecule,and hearing something from Insomniac's new North Carolina Studio would be off the charts fantastic,perhaps that rumored new IP act/RPG/Platformer?Another on my wish list would be a first look at Dark Cloud 3....
I Will be there....I have been to 11 E3's,and a few GDC's,this will be my first GC..... ...
I think that a game like Halo Reach will have a "taste" of Natal...What better way to get natal up front and center for Microsoft...Some extra perks while using Natal,some side actions,but not main gameplay actions...
Rare will come forth with a couple Natal based games,KI3 and either Conker or kameo 2,perhaps a Rare cart racer, would be my quess (and hope when mentioning Conker),along with some casual's mini game...Lionhead is sure to have something ready for launch....
What was most important for me in that article was what they mentioned on ....."how to work to a fixed deadline, and be more streamlined".....
Avatars with Natal might be fine and important to some,as for me Natal is something I am curious to see just where it goes,and how far it takes games...
What I want is a proper Banjo platformer,a new Conker and or kameo 2.I think these are the games best suited for Rare. PD and KI will or would be good games,but not ...
The first Tomb raider was my favorite game "for it's time" back about 12 years now...
Tomb raider has always been,and always should be about climbing/jumps/exploration and puzzles....
If they are going to have more action it needs to be done right,not half arsed,dont do any action if you ask me,if it's going to be done poorly or even so/so...
The main formula for Tomb raider needs to be in,advanced upon and stick to the proper Tomb raider...
Perhaps a Combo pack of ICO,Killzone 2,Ratchet and clank,and Ghostbusters,or 2 of the 4 of these game themes.....Well that would be extra nice...
The thing I would want to see even more so would be new alternative "game mechanics"....Like real World fluids,and or atmospheric effects,like wind currents,natural disaster events like typhoons/tornados for example....New weapons like a "melting gun" which Alex Evans talked of a few Months back in an interview,wel...
New levels such as a "Ghostbusters" level based in a haunted house with small versions of the "stay puff marsh-mello man" getting to use a twisted version of the proton gun for example,and a Racthet and Clank level pack with a couple new R&C styled weapons,just to think of a couple quick ideas,would be great,but also something new and special straight from MM themselves...
I think even more important than the levels themselves would be "new game mec...
The costumes are nice and fun additions,but........
Hopefully they will have some levels? A "proton pack" and some ghosts,a few "mini stay-puff" creatures,and a World with 3 or so levels consisting of a "haunted house".......
Things that can be lots of fun,plus add more tools for user creation levels...
And some nice added feature like real World fluids sometime soon would be frosting...
My favorite game...
He mentioned that he would love to play in a different field in the near future in regards to what your typical expectation of a Gears of War game actually is.....Plus he talks about "teleporting" being a great idea.
Perhaps a clue to the next Gears game involving Marcus and the gang teleporting to a far away planet or universe...? Gears of War 3 on "locust planet"?
Where Cliff and the gears devs can create a new look and design/style...
When you look at games like MGS4,and the Uncharted series you see as much soul as any of the "old school" games...And I should know,I have been doing art and design for games since the old Amiga days on games like Gods,Magic pockets,etc,etc... for the Bitmap Bros way back in the late 80's and early 90's...
With up-coming games like the "last guardian",& "Good and Evil 2", I am quite optimistic about "soul".....
However ...
What I hope for is that they go the route of "Insomniac",and become a 2 IP at a time dev house...
Insomniac could very well be a 3 at a time dev house with their new North Carolina Studio,so Naughty dog becoming a 2 at a time game studio is not that far fetched....
With lots of devs (pre-viz/concept art and some modelers,texture artists) finishing work earlier than post work devs,they could have had a foundation being built up for a few Months now,along...
I said......."LBP is not a pure platformer,but is as close as it gets outside of Mario".....
But you know,I stand corrected....To me LBP is the best game of this generation.....And Butertoast you asked me, "What about LBP makes you say its not a pure platformer?".....And with that question I found no answer,you are right....I gave it the proper amount of thought,and could not come up with an answer....It is!
It just seems to be so indepth,and...
Uncharted 2,Borderlands,left for dead 2,Dead rising 2,Forza 3,Demon souls all in October,then comes Assassins creed 2,COD MF2,and Splinter cell Conviction in November......Oh and does anyone know about Ratchet and Clank Acit's release date? Just to add to the must haves....Thanks...
