these guys are very honest, and you can tell that what they say is the truth, they don't have a publisher breathing down their neck telling them what they can say and what they can't they are just saying what they're trying to accomplish, they're not really hyping it, it's all the fanboys that are blowing it of proportion, everytime I read an interview with these guys I want to play the Conduit more and more.
alright, that's fair, but Bethesda only got fallout rights because Interplay was closing due to money problems so the sale wasn't in the best interest of the franchise, as for innovation being dead, it is (on AAA titles) there is too much money getting spent on games nowadays that publishers will not allow developers to go outside the box, while there will be a few games coming out with a few innovative features, there will never be a title that will kick you in the teeth with innovation, you...
The only reason I buy Nintendo systems is for Nintendo games which IMO are some of the finest games out there, sure every once and a while you get a good exclusive (no more heroes, resident 4(sorta)) but still when nintendo makes a new system, I'll buy it just to play my favorite franchises anew again, criticize Nintendo for being sequel heavy but when they create a new IP (pikmin, animal crossing) it's always good.
Go ahead and criticize the wii and shovelware but never talk sh!t about Nintendo's games, Nintendo doesn't make shovelware, Nintendo makes amazing games that are incredibly polished providing they're at least A titles like SMG,LOZ:TP,SSBB.
edit: @captain more like every 4-6 months, but don't diss the core mario games like 64, Sunshine and Galaxy those games are great and they only come out every 3-4 years.
Thank god for adventure/point and click games, I can finally take a break from all the twitch games that are out today, I actually have to think to solve a problem instead of killing everybody in a room or avoiding objects, yah!
wow, just wow, we were discussing the problems with bethesda and fallout and oblivion, and now you seem to be going on and on about innovation in games, well, first off Oblivion was a step back from Morrowind, MGS4 while has an awesome story/graphics/presentaion has gameplay that doesn't really innovate at all, of course we want a new game, but we also want sequels to game we have enjoyed in the past, so what the hell is the point in calling Fallout 3, Fallout 3? why not just making it a post...
Well from my observations today its bethesda bashing day so lets' celebrate with more bashing, go ahead complain I like the art style, Blizzard ticked me off with the colorful fruity art style with the warcraft series (even though I still love em) but fans, at least you only have a problem with part of the game, instead of fallout fans having to deal with their game being chewed up and spit out by Bethesda, so stop complaining, Blizzard ain't gonna change a thing the game is obviously far int...
@closing, um, what, let me ask you a question have you even played Elder Scrolls 1-3? if you have then you will see what a hollow shell Oblivion is compared to them. A choice of first person or 3rd person. And also have you played Fallout 1 and 2 if you have, then you realize that just because games are getting more technologically brilliant doesn't make them a better game, I don't even know where to start on that comment, what, since your playing an 8bit game means that anything below that s...
well Atari you've created classics, and were one of the founders of the gaming industry, but you're on your way out now, I salute you valiant Atari but I think you will be better in my memory than in my console.
well let me think
Mad World
Spyborgs (yes Spyborgs)
"Unannounced Capcom Wii Project"
The Conduit
"Unannounced Retro game"
Any non party/casual game Ninty make
Deadly Creatures
um theres a few more there somewhere, but anyway it's a good year for looking forward to stuff.
Well luckily I had the half assed pc port of Oblivion so I could mod it, there are some fantastic mods out there that make the game more like the originals, like removing the horrible horrible leveling up system (what's the point of leveling up when everything levels up with you?) and fixing AI and adding a few cool new features, I haven't touched 360 Oblivion in a while though, yep I think we can all call bethesda the "franchise ruiners" from now on, because in stead of developing ...
I think that Bethesda is jealous, but the article is not that bad he just said he was dissapointed that they're keeping with traditional diablo and starcraft, um yeah well that's why we play them, it's not like it's Diablo II with 3d graphics, It's got all new items, characters, worlds, sequels are usually made for the fans there bethesda maybe you should learn a thing or two, or maybe your just a lazy idiot who wants to make a good dollar off an amazing franchises name, plus you are making i...
what's great about blizzard is they make beautiful games but don't push the limit's of your hardware, I don't think starcraft II or diablo III will really push my hardware to the limits, I don't really care because I have a top of the line pc but I love that blizzard much like valve, looks at not just pushing bars but making it accessible to as many people as possible, cheers to you blizzard and that's why everygame you made I've fallen in love with (except WOW)
I still have those games on my computer somewhere I don't think they work, I have scummvm though an emulator and I love playing them now and again, like indiana jones, those were great. If there is never a monkey island 5 than I will be sad but I still have scummvm on my wii so I can play all the classics again and again.
When in um I can't remember which monkey island but you were in town and there were pirates sitting on a bunch of barrels, and you ask them what's in the barrels, holy crap I laughed for a solid minute when they answered. great games.
Diablo III is for the fans
Fallout III is pissing the fans off
It's always better when the original dev makes the game. I can't wait to see what Ubisoft turns Deus Ex 3 into, maybe, a isometric romance simulator? Well, we'll see when it's released but to me Fallout III is a kick in the nuts as a fan, sure it will be an alright game but still, maybe I'll just wear a cup while I'm playing.
edit: oh and the fallout series is better than diablo, diablo is fun and addictive, but...
Well how do you think gaming companys make money, by capitalizing on their key franchises, of course their will be great games that are sequels because the developer proved that they can make a solid game that sold well, so their publisher gives them more money to make a better game, I have nothing wrong with that, we have to wish for new IP's and hope they will be successful so we have another series of games on our hands, their is just a lot of sequels going around these days because the ga...
I hope if the team that did MOH:H2 makes a new game it won't be world war II cause I mean c'mon, we've already got 3 WWII shooter on the wii and after that only 3 other first person shooters so let's break it down. as what they compare to.
Call of Duty: 3 - red steel (pretty but bad control)
Medal of Honor vanguard - far cry (good control but ugly)
Medal of Honor: Heroes 2 - mp:3 (amazing control good game)
so we have 1 WWII shooter fo...
at how good steam works, besides the occasional crash I love it, but what people don't understand is piracy does not affect sales for the most part, a pirate is always going to pirate, no matter what, he will not legitimately buy a game, so instead of b*tching about piracy just go over to steam, while steam has been cracked it is alot harder to set up pirated steam games than regular games, look at that crappy ass securom it screws over people like me that legitimately bought Mass Effect or B...
Metroid is one of the most beautiful games ever (IMO) it just proves that art direction and design always, always trumps graphics technology, just look at doom 3 that game was what? 2004 but it had such strong art direction that (IMO) it could easily compete with many current gen titles now. I don't know what it is about nintendo but you can have fun in their games just by moving, like in SMG I could run around, jump off walls, do backflips for hours on end and I would still have fun, same go...
