you'd be VERY wrong
it is the most thankless, worthless job when you are working for idiots. Just like any other job.
But it is worse when you know how well a game can turn out (and they do) and you helped.
Seeing a game release with hundreds of critical bugs is heartbreaking. and it happens all the time.
You all know that the Publishers push for a game to be released before they are finished, which doesn't even factor in proper QA.
That pins sometimes lazy developers (who can apply some common sense themselves in what they are doing instead of just listening to everything they are told) between bug testers generating all kinds of reports and feedback (go to gamespot and watch the GDC 2010 Sid Meier keynote to see how feedback can stall and ruin games), versus what they want to ...
recalling the original Xbox game and why the 360 game obviously failed. No one wanted it for the volleyball. hacker candy
a sad bit of news indeed.
Whatever, try Shatter by Sidhe. It at least tries to have some kind of narrative.
uh, no
have you seen commercials lately? in the span of 2 hours you're bound to see tons of nudity and all kinds of violence.
imagine for just a second that since they've had these games for decades, that japanese gamers (and people who have been playing these games for just as long, as per the report), are just as desensitized to the violence and sexual content.
It is the games they want to play.
Who's complaining about Grand The...
not at all. You're asking if someone who willingly plays this game will relate it at all to real life? no
if they will learn the consequences of the actions? no IIRC there are no consequences built into these games.
Plus, who's going to take raping a virtual character in a game as a simulation which will then incite them to go stalk someone and rape them? that's a huge stretch. Very much along the lines of playing Manhunt and taking it as a murder sim which you'...
no. They very much do encourage molestation, rape and violence against women.
But it is up to their government to do something to protect the public. Brow bashing from outside isn't going to help.
They might as well ban hentai in all it's forms, not just in games. Which should then be a move to ban anything that can be seen to depict rape and violent sex. That includes some porn and rated R movies etc.
Why pick on games when people are expeosed to...
Thankfully Illusion has other titles that don't center on violence. Perhaps it will encourage them to continue making Sexy Beach games and other non-violent IP.
Still, it is an economy for them, too bad it has no place in the global economy.
they are called 'achievements'
meanwhile, keep the hardcore games coming if the alternative is called Natal.
was expecting more physics
like Fatal Interia and Waverace had a baby. Also.. the first few seconds made my think of Bloodwake
Looks good though if is for cheap money
which helps people who don't have internet how?
milo is more vaporware than Natal.
Why do you think they don't show that demo but stick with riccochet?
it'll will do what it has to do, sell consoles.
imagine for a second that after it runs it's short abortive course that the feedback it gives Microsoft lets them make a better version for windows (and displays in general, think TVs, advertising displays etc).
ner, the point is better phrased as this, like any Xbox related product is a testbed.
They'll release it to the public, have us pay to beta test it while they work on a better product that ends up being obsolete by the time it is ready for the market. (hence they both effectively fail)
things like this make me think they need serious managers there like Kotick.. imagine what MS would be like if they didn't just iterate for the sake of it, but actually released stuff Gosh!
the thing about their products being ubiquitous is fine but they have so much more unfinished stuff that never gets productized that people should feel bedeviled by Microsoft's crappy PR and all those billions lost on fruitless research.
I don't see anything that says that explicitly but yes, it is vaguely similar.
What happened to wide tracts of land.. (Spore)
if 'german' means bored enough to play an economics RTS.. sure
I downloaded this demo and tried it for a few minutes but it turned my brain to spaghetti. Can someone post some videos of how to play this game? I love me my Railroads and Anno 1404 and Majetsy 2 etc but for the life of me I can't understand the appeal of such a tiny map and peeps that just pop out of nowhere to moan and complain that they are unemployed and homeless.. wtf? is it an inhouse Ubisoft thing to dumb ga...
round 2 since Xbox wasn't competing between sixaxis and wiimote
makes me wonder why they wouldn't just double up on the cpu/gpu if they could save all that space.
and unless people are willing to pay them to make fixes after the fact, the game will live or die based on the state it shipped in. You can't even expect you 30-70 dollars to cover bug fixes for critical game breaking errors.
