How can you take something as variable as gameplay and give it a score that everyone will agree on.
Or, this games graphics may not be hyper realistic but they suit the overall feel of the game a heck of a lot more than if they had been - would you mark it down for the lack of detail or up for style ?
I don't need to know too much about setting, etc in a review - usually we have had endless previews already.
All i need to know is how this reviewer felt abo...
"Remove water from the equation and you're left with a sub-par, archaic thirdperson actioner."
"Combat... is unresponsive and tiresome, ..."
"The maps themselves are multi-tiered chores that require little initiative to navigate..."
The emotion engine was stripped out of the EU launch models, so we only ever had a 60GB PS2 using emulation b/c over here (as was the case with the US 80GB model) and not the full b/c unless you imported.
On the latest PSM3 podcast, they're talking about the upcoming Gamescon and it's heavily hinted that they wouldn't be surprised if Insomniac were to announce a new game in an existing franchise which wasn't Resistance...
While i don't disagree that MP is important, it's not at the cost of single player games.
How many people do you think bought games like Red Dead Redemption, Uncharted 2, etc for the multi-player portion ?
I bet you a heck of a lot more bought it primarily for the single player.
And there's not a lack of quality single player games out there.
You mention AC, but you could easily add in Fallout 3, Oblivion, FF XIII, Batman, Infamous, Heavy r...
tch, anyone who played... WITH A STICK !..
If anything i'm a PS3 fanboy, but he actually said what's in the headline in the context of; 'I think Kinect's good, but i would say that wouldn't i?'
as in, he's just being honest and knows his opinion will be viewed as biased because of who he works for.
If you watch the vid he doesn't sound anything other than genuine, and the interview is fairly routine.
If you just want to take an edited comment out of context, then...
The original price was more than likely a placeholder.
It was probably an slightly high estimate based on the US price, so they could give potential customers an idea and start getting pre-orders going.
Once they get word of the official UK price, and what competitors are charging they can adjust it to suit - and by being higher to start with, all those who ordered it before the change will get an e-mail telling them of the change and think 'oh, that's nice.'
He has said his next game (the 'taboo' one) was going to be on 'high spec machines' - whatever that means.
(though it looked to me like he couldn't get off the stage quick enough at the MS conference)
a story mode in puzzle games, that's just daft.
Let's just nip back in time to 2007 and tell them...
'You know that game you're finishing off, don't bother.'
'Huh?'
'Well it just sounds a bit, you know..'
'Oh, ok then'
'I mean i can only see it selling a fair few copies on 10 different platforms and getting metacritic scores in the 80s along with one or two awards'
'is that all?...
There would have been some sort of delay when sending the signal to the big screens, hence why no-one's mentioned it being so far out in hands-on test.
If you did that for the whole game, it'd take time and cost a lot.
Would enough people be prepared to pay full price for what would be a slightly tarted up 15 year old game to make it worth while ?
I highly doubt it.
To do a remake and do the game justice for this generation of consoles would require time and manpower and possibly changes to the game itself.
shame really.
His points are all well thought out and seem logical..
does the writer understand why some devs are exclusive?
ready at dawn, thatgamecompany, etc are such small studios that trying to be multi-platform would compromise the quality of the games (which is probably why they concentrate on PSN and PSP titles)
and of those that actually are geared towards full PS3 games;
ninja theory never was an exclusive developer,
Eat sleep play has a 3 game deal with Sony, and has yet to release the first,
Slant si...
The chart came from Nintendo;
'The data comes by way of Nintendo's end of year financial results' - it says at the start of the second paragraph.
are they reliable enough for you ?
The hard drive would need some spare room to unpack and install the game onto it - which would probably account for the discrepancy between the actual file size and the amount of room needed.
guy makes comment in middle of interview, which is pulled out and made into a small story, posted on here and in no time at all the comments section is full of;
'well i'm not buying his game, dumbass'
'he should shut up and make games'
'blah blah blah'
You know, you are actually PROVING HIS POINT!
@7.9
There were episodes where Cartman was hassling his mom for a PSP and another where he went into the future in order to play a Wii.
Could it be that the dates just refer to the times when he was working on the games or would that be too obvious to put on a CV?
& could it be that he either copied and pasted the 360/PS3 bits and couldn't be bothered/didn't notice the SCC ?
or possibly, he did some work on a PS3 version in the early stages before it was canned ?
or ...
or ...
SSX !
Not overly bothered about which particular one, EA, just get that damn game on my PS3!
