Reading about how the Red Faction devs are committed to making a good game (rather than implementing ridiculous anti-piracy features) just won me over as a fan. As long as the game gets decent reviews, I'll be sure to pick it up. Unlike, say, Homefront which I skipped because the devs insisted on lying to gamers about the length of its campaign.
Hard to believe that The Force Unleashed II was actually nominated for a writing award...
Rest assured, I will most definitely "miss that ass" if Chloe doesn't show up in Uncharted 3. She was one of my favorite characters and it wasn't just because she was like a hotter, sexier, more conniving and more interesting Elena.
Remember when gaming journalism was all about writing and reporting about games and less about stroking your own ego and trying to be king of the nerds?
Yeah me neither.
I'd say that's awesome....except it's coming like what? Eight months too late?
Didn't the devs promise real-time stat changes with each UFC event? I think there's been like two updates so far, and those just fixed gameplay mechanics.
In for MvC3, KZ3 and Bulletstorm.
$180 --not as bad as November was. Think I dropped closer to $400 that month.
I'm enjoying how the author of this article replied to that comment with:
"So you didn't even read the thing. You fucking idiot."
Nothing makes fans like insulting them for their criticism.
Pretty slow this week. Hopefully Amazon will spice it up some with some awesome last minute deals.
IMO, Nintendo is getting ready to fold their hand and start saving up for the next one. Their line up on the Wii in 2011 is lackluster at best --they're hedging their bets on the N3DS (and for good reason) to carry them into 2012. I wouldn't be surprised in the slightest to be the first one to pull the trigger on the next generation of consoles. With the advent of the Kinect and PlayStation Move, Nintendo is realizing that they're in danger of being outclasses at their own game. ...
Is that why he has as many bubbles as you do?
The reason why game length is particularly relevant to Deus Ex is largely because it shows that the developers are very much aware of what Deus Ex fans want -- a long, RPG that actually develops characters and engages gamers in its world.
That was an element that was largely missing from Deus Ex: IW and its abysmal 12-hour run time, and that's why it was important for the developers to let gamers know, "hey, we're not screwing this up...it's not going to be a...
MadWorld and MGS4 weren't released in 2010.
Will it be able to carve out a slice from WoW? Be interesting to see.
GOD DAMMIT.
It's a pretty generic response though --they'll announce it when they're ready if they're actually making it. C'mon --I WANT A LUNAR 3.
What Microsoft unveils at E3 rarely has an effect on the type of software we'll see that same year.
Microsoft E3 2009
-Halo: Reach (2010)
-Alan Wake (2010)
-Foraza 3 (2009)
-Crackdown 2 (2010)
-Project Natal (AKA Kinect 2010)
Even if Microsoft starts dropping bombs at E3 this year, the odds of us actually seeing it during the holidays is pretty slim. More than likely we'll see them in 2012.
To buy games from 2010...or to save money for the onslaught of games coming out in 2011. Hm....
Sorry about that -- Examiner's new format is absolutely god awful. It narrows the margins so badly that splitting up article is the only way to avoid it from being one huge, ugly block of text. I can't even embed videos or images into it anymore. It really sucks.
Apologies for the inconvenience.
This is EA's response which seems to back up what urmomlol is saying:
""This is a PR play filled with pettiness and deliberate misdirection," EA's head of communications Jeff Brown told Kotaku. "Activision wants to hide the fact that they have no credible response to the claim of two artists who were fired and now just want to get paid for their work."
Like he said, everything is PR.
I actually did not know that. I played it for our review, but when the community started shrinking, I stopped. That was a while ago. I should've done a little more research --my apologies.
I'd be one of those motorcyclers who roam around pillaging and murdering everyone for fun like in the old-school Dawn of the Dead. Yes I would end up getting killed sooner or later, but at least I would have fun until then.
