I don't actually think so to be honest.
Every new generation ends up being remembered for new franchises, and while I'm stoked for UC4 and how it apparently non-linearizes its gameplay and level design It's still just more Uncharted with a pretty hamfisted premise (Drake's Brother visits... and he's TOTALLY not the bad guy. Nope!)
Arkham Knight will surely be great but my hunch says I will look back in 2018 and think, "lol, that was t...
EA don't take creative control over writing. They never did. They might make a list for the developer that needs to be checked though and publishers are infamous for having DLC control... at least Activision does.
She was included until Neil and Bruce butted in after finishing Left Behind DLC, then the lead role of Drake's brother was thrown into the bin and re-shot with Troy Baker instead of the other actor (I sooo much wanted the other actor because NO MORE TROY BAKER! Enough is enough.) and the script was largely rehauled from what I gathered, so I'm guessing Amy left after feeling that the egos who came in from the outside largley shat on her hard work, so she left.
No sour...
There goes all my anticipation into a dumpster.
I was hoping Visceral's new SW game led by Amy Hennig as writer, would've been about Lightsabers, Jedi and Sith. I'm not interested in this so much.
"things are not as they seem! "
Huh. I wonder if that's a stab at the downgradeaton controversy.
Not so sure.
Audrey Drake left ign. She was the biggest Nintendo fan girl and she gave Skyward Sword 10/10. now she works at Nintendo, screwing up their localization a or something. I wish she'd just leave proffesionall part of the gaming industry. She's a fan girl best suited to be a part of the fan girl crowd, not behind the scenes.
...and it also gives publishers another reason to pay reviewers under the table, making the industry seem corrupt.
We really would be better off without Metacritic at all.
From 2014: a year of downgrades to 2015: the year of upgrades :-D
Is it EA or just AAA? Honestly I think they're both a factor, but the problem is that Bioware has been in a region they don't know how to navigate for the last 3 games they've made now, and I think it's more likely their call to make their games acrimony than it was EA's. It's simple game business. AAA games are much more expensive to develop, so profit has to be just as big, thus making risks that much more riskier, like going for a traditional RPG format like Baldurs...
I wish they'd just skip that version and focus on something else this time. Ever since Wild World and now New Leaf, I find the games much more appealing to play on handhelds.
The decisions you make in games that have choices like these are meaningful depending on what meaning you find within them personally I think. Of course it varies how well the game reflects on a choice through consequence, but to me it was always about what meaning I gave the choice I made, so that even though I don't necessarily see the outcome of a major decision I make, it's my reason for choosing it in the first place and the implications it holds that makes it meaningful.
Notice how Amy Hennig isn't in this? It makes me wonder if she really did leave on bad terms after all.
They brought back adventure point-and-click type games but modernized it. I wouldn't call it a new genre, but the revival of adventure gaming.
I think Sucker Punch said even before making Second Son that they prefered being small and managable, which is why they always work as one team.
Remember, oversized developers from continued growth killed companies like Irrational, the developers of Bioshock for instance. These layoffs might've been a good thing, although I do pity the workers who got laid off, and I pray they're able to get up and back on the horse somewhere else within the industry.
New characters, new themes and E3 2012 gameplay.
Sounds like they've found a good foundation. My enjoyment of the game still largely relies on plot, though. That has to be right or it isn't a good Mass Effect.
Why would this game launch in 2 months with no official word yet? That would be bad marketing. I don't believe this unless it's Kojima's usual genius stunt.
That's everybody's new PR strategy. If internet yells out on bullshit, make an obvious lie. Just like CDPR with the same thing "Nope, Witcher 3 was NEVER downgraded." Well, then, what is that in the VGX trailer I see? Those look like in-game graphics with better lighting and detail than the new screenshots.
Re-hashed, as in, GTA V with better performance, PC edition, slicker visuals and a well-designed FPS-mode? Um, being a re-hash that's a pretty darn great re-hash methinks.
