I think it's a shame, I thought Insomniac going multiplatform would be a good move, and now would be the best time to do it - given that we've moved to a standardised PC architecture.
I backed this. I think it'd have a greater chance of success if the tiers were not as expensive though.
One of the things the industry is worst at is preserving its history. We've started doing it better these last 5 years or so, but there are so many stories left untold.
Unlike some game Kickstarters, you know what you're going to get here is original, it's not just some genre rehash, and his budget is clear and realistic.
The reveal was terribly patronizing. I thought it was for Watch Dogs originally, a semi serious look at surveillance society. And then the jerk off on stage started talking about superpowers.
You could tell Jonathan Blow thought it was overblown and stupid too when he came on stage afterwards.
Kickstarter's awesome - but what would concern me is that with this project, they're only looking for Kickstarter funds to build a prototype for publishers and venture capitalists.
The best thing about Kickstarter is the creative freedom and control it allows dev teams. Would this still be the case if say, Activision were to buy in?
It's his penis, he's getting his cock out on stage.
How this empty nothing of a tweet managed to get to the hottest spot is a symptom of how pathetic this community is.
Why else do you think EA retired the online pass?
Consistency is impossible. Writers change, each has different thoughts on what a great game is.
I don't know any source that is consistent. Even publications where the writer is anonymous, and speaks only on behalf of the publication, you still don't get consistency.
Every time someone disagrees with the critical consensus, there is a ridiculous amount of butthurt.
Another thing that annoys me about the idiot paranoid review reactions, is that gamers, and exclusively gamers instantly cry out imagined corruption charges.
I can assure you, the writer who wrote the 6/10 Social Network review did not have to deal with comments about how Paramount paid them off.
Anyone that goes bawling over review scores deserves to be banned, possibly from life.
Understand that people have different opinions. Accept it.
When Edge give the next Sony exclusive a 6, I'm sure the OP will get banned there too.
Disappointed, definitely. But I'm sure we'll see Deus Ex on next-gen eventually.
Hoping they'll have moved on from the black and gold aesthetic too - it made for a novel look, but let's have something new.
It goes to you, and everyone else who disagreed, which unsurprisingly for N4G is the majority of you.
These chips are rebranded laptop chips. They are not next-generation Jaguar cores.
But you fell for it.
Silicon Knights essentially tried to pirate the Unreal Engine, and got caught.
They then sold all their assets to a company which by coincidence is made up of the same principals.
My problem was never with the quality of Too Human or X-Men. It was a fundamental problem of trust.
Yeah, because companies really want to turn down the cheapest form of financing available.
Do you really think Peter Molyneux needs your money?
If they have a publisher on board, then potential backers have greater security in knowing that the game will actually come out. You build a community of evangelists. The money you raise on Kickstarter is essentially free. It's a loan you'll never have to pay back.
It probably means they've got a publisher to trust them, after failing to get consumers to trust them.
I watched this TED talks days ago, it doesn't justify games as art at all.
Antonelli sidesteps the entire question, and instead presents games as lessons in design, which falls within MoMA's scope.
I hope it's a next gen game. Actual next-gen and not cross-gen. Don't mind if it comes out later.
Of course the publisher should get a cut if the platform holder does. I really doubt platform holders could enforce such as system if the publisher didn't buy into it.
It's not that Nvidia didn't want the business, they couldn't have it.
Next-gen wanted a SoC that Nvidia just couldn't provide.
I do realise that Halo has one of the most expansive sci-fi universes, it's implicit in my original comment. They've done it by forcing money into the franchise.
If you think about the original Halo, actually think about the plot, you'll realise the whole thing is a sham. The entire concept of the Halo, to destroy all sentient life in order to excise a virus just does not make sense.
The whole SPARTAN super soldier story was just written in afte...
It's coming to PC, so it shouldn't be difficult to make it a cross-gen game.
Sure, there's no way it'll use next-gen capabilities, but that's one of the charms of South Park's style.
