This preview gives me a little more hope for the game. At the moment it's on a seesaw for me, constantly dipping into positives and negatives.
One of the big things irking me is how 47's weapons just magically appear in his hands now. In previous games he has slipped them out from inside his jacket, or even removed them from a suitcase. Is that kind of animation really so hard to add into a sequel to a game from six years ago?
Maybe I'm a bit of ...
Spoilers ahead (although surely reading the comments of an article about the extended cut ending should make that very obvious).
I can't see how Bioware are going to make everyone happy as there seems to be many tiers of people unhappy with the ending. I'm in the group that really doesn't mind that Shepard dies at the end, and just thought everything about the ending after Harbinger blast was rubbish.
Of course there are those groups who think the...
If you didn't know any better it would be hard to distinguish these shots from screens of the TV series. This could be something really cool.
Judging by these bullet-points, I might be able to get over the death of STALKER as this just makes the single player games sound like the starting point for something big. I really hope Suvarium works out.
I'm really in two minds as to whether or not to grab the 3DS at launch (probably sold out by then anyway though). On one hand, it looks awesome. On the other, it's a fair bit of cash for a handheld that I might not feel as inclined to play on as I would with a home console.
Yup, can't really disagree with that. It seems to be a fairly copy and pasted formula.
Rasputin would make a viable game protagonist due to his ability to act as a sponge to normally fatal conditions.
I thought that Brooker's Gameswipe was genuinely brilliant and would love to see something else of a similar nature on the BBC. I'm just not sure the format of it is a sustainable one to make a series from.
A very valid critcism. It may be (or is) too little too late, but I've changed the title to something a bit more suitable.
It'd be far too easy to blow your year's gaming budget in the first few months of 2011. Good times :p
Looks like an interesting one that's for sure. It'll definitely make a change from Monkey Island and Machinarium, but can it grasp at the greatness those titles achieved?
That's awesome. I used to love Micro Machines. This just makes me think we need a current gen version of it, but hell, this'll do just fine and dandy for now!
I think the article hits it on the head when it mentions that this might be for younger thrill junkies who want to see the gore. Isn't that what the target audience for the films basically is?
An EU release would be pretty cool.
That Mario level looks pretty cool, as does the technical side behind the UNO game. Why the hell am I not playing this series!?
Good interview. It amazes me what the LBP communtiy can do. I should really look into number 2, the original LBP completely passed me by.
To be fair, Dynasty Warriors and the pallette of games it has spawned is a fairly relaxing and therapeutic approach to large scale murder. Definitely a good stress buster.
It won't take much to be better than Invisible War :p
I must admit, I really hope that they learned their lesson from the first game and make this an awesome roller coaster of carnage all the way through. I think it's looking good.
I liked Conviction and Chaos Theory. They were very different games, but both still focussed on stealth. Ditching stealth is killing my interest in continuation of the series. Seriously, Splinter Cell is primarily a stealth game, but a really lousy action title.
With Ironside gone they should just have started a new protagonist. Blacklist looks and sounds awful.
