While everything is still up in the air, I just hope the console does well. Had enough of people crying that "Wii u has no games", when it's the console I'm enjoying the most right now.
Somewhat crappy showing by Mad Max, and the apocalyptic nature of the game is no excuse. Borderlands has significantly better toilets in my mind, and they must have been made by psychos!
I'll probably be flogged for this, but I preferred Fallout 1 and 2 with the isometric view, rather than 3's first person view. My experience with 1 and 2 was freedom but with an aim, crazy stats, and an interesting setting. My feelings towards 3 were mainly "Oh, they made it an FPS", "Where do I go?", and more often than anything else "Oops, I'm stuck in a rock, time to reload my last save..."
Point and Clicks are always the biggest culprit for these kinds of evil puzzles
My god, Shadow of the Beast 2 sounds worse than Takeshi's Challenge!
In Final Fantasy 8, the giant mech spider X-ATM092 can be evaded until it is destroyed by Quistis, or beaten by a particularly strong party, but in the FF8 demo, this time named X-ATM082, you can run, but you cant hide, and he is impossible to defeat outside of the Quistis event. Terrifying.
Just make sure those Mario brothers don't bring Yoshi along, he'll eat everything and everyone, and poop out some rotten "eggs"
Really nice review. Always interesting to see more diversity in games, and Turing seems really sweet. The retro style is pretty cool, and the setting seems well thought-out, but it's a shame when a lot of dialogue seems like exposition
Gosh, I wasn't expecting much from a Rugby game, but this one looks like a pass even for hardcore fans.
Jeez, if Tara Strong decides to strike, that's a whole load of voice replacements needed. She does everything from My Little Pony to Lollipop Chainsaw!
Seems like the next logical step for in-game adverts, just leaves a sour taste in my mouth somewhat. Who knows how this trend will spread?
The scene in Sonic Adventure 2 when Sonic turns into Super Sonic was amazing, but the fact that Super Shadow was even a thing made me OMG at the time.
Gotta Love Lizzy and her Beefeater guards!
I actually really enjoy the different forms of Speedrunning. You have the glitchy runs, to see how people can break a game. There's Tool-Assisted Runs, to see how the "perfect run" can be done. And then there are still "pure" runs, no glitches, no add-ons, just great playing.
A huge fan of Dungeon Keeper and Theme Hospital, games like this and War for the Overworld make me happy the genre is staying alive, but sad about the fate of Bullfrog games.
In Japan, mobile gaming is stronger than console or PC gaming for sure (just look at Konami running to mobile and pachinko), but many japanese companies either head to portable consoles (Vita is huge in Japan! And 3ds for more child friendly games), or they aim for fantastic graphics over all else, (see Square Enix) which can only be had on consoles.
I agree that japanese Indie Games are very rare, outside of events like Comiket, and mobile, but this comes down to cost.
Also, ...
Nice article. One thing that I'm normally not a fan of, but think might work in this game, to help the survival feel, links with your leathermaking thoughts. What if you had to have a certain amount of "heat", or your character begins to suffer from the effects of the cold. This could be helped with thick furs, and fire. Just a thought, although I wouldn't want it too difficult.
Can't wait! I really want to play the game through as one complete beast, to more easily see how my actions change things on other playthroughs.
I mainly found the portrayal of the creation of video-games offensive. Grand Theft Auto created by (mainly) one person? No chance. The most painful scene change ever: "We need to build a new game engine!" *scene change* "So here's our new engine". As a hobbyist developer, and lover of videogames, this docudrama hugely offended me.
This could be due to the increase tickets because of the refund policy.
