The only thing i've seen that looked CGI was Deep Down and i'm still not convinced that was even in-engine or running real time.
I think the same. The only reason why i won't say the video game medium is purely an artistic scene is because while some games like Journey, The Walking Dead or even LoL is art to some extent there are always some games out there that i just don't consider to have any vision or artistic aspects to them. I think video games is a medium that combines a little of everytyhing from music, movies, books and art and then slaps gameplay on top of it.
But overall my definition of art ...
Be careful what you wish for! Last E3 Nintendo started saying "this is ALL about the GAMES" and it was one of their worst/most boring conferences ever.
Imagine if someone made a Conker's Bad Fur Day style game with pokemons. An FPS with setpieces and Pokemon being antropomorphic jerks banging and killing each other. Immature and awesome!
Jonathan Blow has an interesting hook about making games but when it comes to statements like these i think he's crap. He's way too quick to take authority just because Braid got so much praise. I like it when famous people are humble, but sometimes this guy is just too much.
If DRM takes over, they will probably lose over 10% (just a baseless estimate :P) of their playerbase, because i won't support a system that requires constant internet connection if that means i can't play when the remote servers are down, and neither can i play when my internet fails on me, which it currently does several times a day. That idiot from EA is an arrogant snob!
So what. Sonic's universe has some very basic and sometimes uninspired artstyle anyway.
Fuck, i disagreed with you because of your first sentence. I can't take it back :(
I don't think you can compare these things just technically as there are differences to the art style or at least the scenario direction.
Why does my stupid exams have to be all around the E3 dates. This is horseshit.
Power is one thing, but just stop and think about how friggin expensive the One is going to be considering it comes with Kinect 2 in every bundle. Kinect 1 is still way too expensive as a separate peripheral even today.
I really do like my 3DS, and i have enjoyed some of the good games that have come out over the last half year, but i don't think The Vita is losing like ppl thought one year ago. It's getting more and more support and i might even consider buying it at some point, though to me handheld gaming shouldn't be about playing big-screen blockbuster games on the go, and that's where i think, at least, sony's approach to the Vita is less appealing to me. I liked the DS and now the ...
I just hope it's not the other way around where SEGA might end up giving a hand in development of core Nintendo franchises at some point, and they start dragging the Big N down with them.
Shit. 343 Industries and EA must be crying themselves to sleep.
The world agrees with you except for 14 microsoft employees.
This is correct and it's the reason why you should never compare these two franchises.
BF4 is likely going to be at 30fps 1080p and CoD is going to be 60fps @ 1080p
At least the Wii U isn't gonna be entirely irrelevant yet. Sony is gonna get the gold this time!
It's true. My PC usually runs games at high frame rates but for some reason PS2 is a choppy mess, because my CPU is only 2ghz 8-core.
Gee i wonder what would happen in ten years if Origin isn't around anymore. Simcity will just be unplayable forever then.
Exactly the point. Developers stopped developing games properly because every PC game nowadays is a half-assed port with no change to the games interface, bad keybindings and no hotkeys. For example. Mass Effect 1 had a nice pc port but since Mass Effect 2 everything got more console-oriented and the pc version was kind of left out, because all the hotkeys to key menu screens was dropped, and the UI hadn't been redisigned to fit a mouse-keyboard interface like it should.
