"except for the cutscenes which looked off"
Well, you can't really blame them; the original devs probably didn't keep the data to the animations. And Bluepoint probably doesn't have the resources to be recreating/rendering advanced cutscenes.
But it would have been COOL if they had.
"I totally feel the pain - when I used to work game retail, so much of my cash went to picking up games"
I have a similar issue....except I work in a grocery store :/
Hello cholesterol!
360magazine.co.uk probably WILL pass out perfect scores to all of those games.
"There have been more frequent complaints about the game freezing, others have experienced constantly being dropped out of games. Still others complain of crashes and disconnections"
Sounds like a server problem.
@kaveti
Not everyone who is actually critical of the Xbox 360 isn't an owner. If there were some consistency coming from it, maybe there would BE more praise.
And LOL at you getting a "Well said" with twice as many disagrees as agrees. Just shows the mods handicraft at work.
"Batted by the sounds of gun-fire from the two booths beside them, thatgamecompany (the team behind introspective indie hits Flower and fl0w) spoke about their latest game Journey"
That says something quite profound and symbolic of the current generation. Non-shooters being drowned out by FPS games.
I really like their unique train of thought on how online multiplayer can work. I certainly hope that this game turns out to be amazing and sells grea...
Too many franchises are serious'd-ing for the Call of Duty generation. Remove color, insert serious'd gear.
Oh dear integrity! Where art thou??
I don't think that it's THAT hard.
I'd rather play a decent adventure that makes no advancements from the first game (Other than prettying up the graphics) with a slightly confused story in the Star Wars universe than run down corridors for hours in FF14, looking for something to do or something to battle with the uninteresting combat.
I voted FF14. I'm not a FF14 fan, but it doesn't take one to see that FF14 didn't live up to any sor...
Wow, I thought a licensed Discovery channel game would be GOTY :)
It was okay. GOW3 was awesome. There was Heavy Rain, but that isn't really my style. Then there was Modnation Racers and MAG which were decent. Then GT5.
Overall, I found that the systems started with an exceptional year, but then the middle 1/2 of the year was iffy and the last 1/4 was mostly down to the "big releases" that I don't care for (See Halo: Reach and GT5).
The games I played this year were mostly last gen titles and a couple...
I'm curious about the hammer. I doubt that they would have that part in the trailer if it's not going to be a part of the game.
"33 megajoules of energy, which is roughly the same amount that 33 1 ton vehicles would generate going at 100 mph and is now a world record for muzzle energy"
"....it uses a surge of electricity to propell slugs at speeds just under Mach 8 and has an effective range of up to 100 miles"
"Navy officials say it can also be used to shoot down cruise missles"
Daaaaaaang. Nice. I'd love to have one of those in m...
Master Chief, Marcus Fenix, Joanna Dark? How would a gun-slinger fit into a fighter?
"The Dishwasher: Dead Samurai" is the only one I can really see happening, so long as he leaves his guns at home.
Kane and Lynch definitely should NOOOOOT be on the list, but I wouldn't replace it with Alan Wake.
"7. Star Fox Wii"
It's about time that they get on that.
Just curious.....why "point seven"?
"Who said they had no games?"
The fanboys, as invented by the "victim" trolls.
I hope Pachter is wrong. I don't want Gamecube 3.0 from Nintendo :P
But in all seriousness, I really do want the next Nintendo system to beef itself up a bit.
"Do you get first place for predicting it will be cold in Winter?"
Don't be silly; you get first place for predicting that it will be cold until it becomes cold (See Pachter's "PS3 price drop coming soon!" predictions...all he did was "predict" until it happene...
"10. Cloud gaming"
Why own HARDWARE if you're going to stream blurry video and have poor response times (Even if you have the greatest connection on the planet, you're still going to have response time issues)?
"9. Improving classic controller designs"
I agree with his comments. Better the designs, but don't try to revolutionize.
"8. Better heat removal"
Yes, in general make the launch console...
Why do people keep suggesting gun-slingers?
It's a FIGHTING game. Get it in your heads!
