I'm not sure what you're talking about. You probably meant "more amusing physics", because GTA never had anything more than that. Mafia is a more serious, well made of GTA, and they aimed at creating a believable, immersive story, in which they have already succeeded with Mafia 1. Also, cars are realistic, act realistic, missions are incredibly good, AI is great, design and graphics were awesome back then.. Comparing the two almost makes no sense as GTA clearly focused on ra...
It's great when someone takes the other side in a discussion. You made me think now, I'm among those who take a lot of things for granted when they actually weren't present in games before. They were, actually, but in a different way. Online experience + vastly improved game mechanics count up as a much better overall experience than one could've had back with Contra. Full 3d environment, tons of equpiment and tactic options, etc etc. (Delta Force is a better example for that,...
The Oddworld serial, as NecrumSlavery mentioned, is a classic example of how games should be made, with smart approaches to game design and rich new features even though at the time hardware was a limitation, and processing power was low.
Infact, those same limitations spawned the best games to date, while all these "steps forward" in hardware created a gigantic counter-effect, making developers lose focus on DEVELOPING, and switch to making shinier shaders and push...
Oddworld fanboy reporting in :)
You simply cannot put Oblivion as #1. Period, over, done. People who've played older rpgs know exactly why it shouldn't be there, there's so much better titles who carry that special atmosphere, gameplay, story, design...
HAIL THEM.
MediEvil, Twisted Metal, Mortal Kombat and Driver.
The article put a damn big smile on my face, and this is what all news should be like. A sweet bit of info comes out of nowhere, without pumping up a title for 2 full years beforehand, followed by a constant article rape 2 months ahead.
The only thing that bothered me is:
"...was one of PlayStation’s most respected franchises back in its day."
It&...

when someone such as the author, having played so many good titles, misses the whole point of playing those titles.
"oh noez the stupid fish in the bowl, that's no boss! weak."
Yeah bro you kinda said it yourself "Earthworm Jim had twisted humour".
Being bitchy about good games just to write an article is about as low as you can go. I'd rather you write "Top 5 things that will make FF__ _____" and read that, cuz that's someth...
BC, crosses, little random popping-out Kuturagis, and more!
please.
"The gaming industry wouldn't be where it is today if developers didn't have the guts to flat out copy each other."
Exactly. It would be in a much better place with much better and original games. Instead, we got a nice long ride in the Uncanny Valley with no fuel to get out (Guerilla jetpacked themselves up though)
everyone started ignorin the fella. "yeah O.G. I like that it's related to hip-hop". so is a gun, a graffiti, a toothpick, a t-shirt, the pavement, a couch, and so on and so forth.
Interviewing a don't-care-person from some site about how he liked the previous interview? The biggest names in the game industry didn't get that kind of coverage, this is ridiculous. I blame the ones who approved this as news, they're the ones pushing it like it counts.
that's about the worst funkin title ever dude.
you sure go gremlin after midnight, gizmo.
3d is the least relevant good game factor -ever-.
It self-hyped itself to...^french fries^.
People have been through enough funky controllers
to be able to handle the 'new' moushunz.
'move' - change position, to move. moo.
Why not move with Move and get into the game?
Makin' it sound like 3...
watching them bash on the whole franchise so hard. I wish he could do a planetary kamehame, that'd be fitting of Raiden.
Come on devs, I know you don't wanna go down Kojima's path, but Raiden already got pretty much raped in mgs4 with stopping an xxxxxxxx tons heavy ship, let alone cutting down buildings. Don't bash the fella even more, there are limits to how much you can stretch a character without totally losing sight of who he is.
RISING ...
You were so close with that last sentence.
"a security camera, an age or gender scanner"
Think about it, are you really that comfortable with a camera pointed at you and connected to the net? Why would it have all those "cool" features...
I think it's got a really ugly and dark side to it. Or maybe it's just the cigarettes speaking out of me.
I'd really like to bring Gabe in front of Kinect. It should either a) put it on European Extreme difficulty, or b) cyber-spit in his face for hugging the ps3.
blood getting hotter. also, on walls.
man you'll get a bubble from me every time I see you comment somewhere, just because you're an Abe fan.
The fella brings about a wave of happiness and nostalgia each and every time I see him on the net. And that's rare.
Thanks for the flashback :)
to the max. that's what 360'ers get :)
