Long time Sony / PS fan (Proud PS3 owner now), but I never really grew up playing the Tomb Raider series. By the way people talk about Tomb Raider, they didn't either. They just oogled Laura Croft. That being said, these series of comments are some of the funniest shyte ever.
Those pictures are... well I don't know whether to oogle or look away. She's cute in the face for sure.. but I don't know. From pictures, movies, behavior... she doesn't seem like Laura Croft that Eidos had...
When I saw the top screen I was like "Oh! Earthbound wannabe? I'll take it!"
Man, where can I find this thing? It looks sweet to me. Good concept, good old plain, rpg fun.
Don't know if anyone played that game, but it was essentially a guncon game for the PS1 that had hundreds of mini games. One of which was to shoot a fly (that small) that was buzzing around the room at an impressive speed. The catch? You had one shot.
Sure, the idea of large creatures on a dramatic scale is nothing new... but how many games have truly implemented it? I can think of two or three off the top of my head. This is hardly a reason to claim "Do developers have any NEW ideas?".
Resistance 2 will put this on a new scale, mid city. It's going to be amazing and I think this article was doomed the moment it was written to be the focus of criticism.
500? Dollars? US dollars? You've got to be kidding. Let's see... games on the VC sell for nearly 10+ dollars...so add all those up, and all the wii games. And you've already passed 500. they'd sell it for like 1.5-2k if they wanted to be fair. If.
Edit: Of course to be fair, like you said though, it would be CRAZY.
For one, especially with the release of SC4 recently, how about the d-pad? The 360's is like one, big rubbery nipple. Can't tell you how many times I've tried to press one direction and the controller registered something completely different. Plus the buttons feel way too stiff and resistant to press on the 360.
I will admit, however, that the controller for the 360 fits in your hand better, though.
I don't know the name of the music director for Crisis Core, but I feel like I should. He did an OUTSTANDING job with the music in the game. It might have been my favorite part of the game. He did a great job of keeping those FFVII themes, while adding new, epic ones. The credits song gives me the chills everytime.
I've said these things before in the gamer section, but anyway...
I don't want new characters. We've seen Square Enix try this before and they did terrible, they gave us Genesis. Genesis, for you who need to be reminded, was the redheaded flamboyant male that quoted "The gift of the goddess" at least 20 times in game. He whined, and ultimately, wanted to be Sephiroth.
As for a new story... a sequel or a spinoff... maybe if this was Squaresoft, we coul...
SK did the remake, and I don't think Kojima had any part in it (besides making MGS 1 hahaha). I have the game, but due to the fact I let some friends borrow it, it's a bit scratched. Still works, but.. yeah. Anyway, it was definitely over the top (the cutscenes). For example, in one cutscene Snake literally jumps on a missile that Liquid shoots at him from a chopper...
Not to say these scenes aren't badas$ but still. Also the voice acting was redone as was the music. Unfortuna...
Well, to 2.2: I feel like you're a bit off base there. You think that Valve would leave the console market untapped if both consoles were just a touch harder to develop for than the PC? I don't think so. If the 360 had a Cell unit as well, you'd better believe Valve would put some effort forth to figure it out.
On that same note, to comment #3. It's a big deal because few other companies have given such a blatant middle finger to the PS3 and it's owners. There's no respect nor ...
Agreed on all the comments you made. That was definitely a mistake generalizing, but it seemed that more PS3 owners were griping.
It's true, everyone will not be happy no matter how amazing the title, but I was met with overwhelming negativity toward GTAIV. I think the story is amazing. The city is immersive and while difficult, the driving is very fitting for the city and adds a whole lot to the intensity of being chased/chasing someone at breakneck speeds.
I ...
When did they ever say that? I'm just curious... I've been following this for as long as I can remember? Do you have a link?
Yes, I see what you mean. I, myself, don't find myself dropping a lot of money on casual PS3 games (singstar, buzz) so I almost completely forgot about them. The closest to causual games that I play are those on the PSN (PJ Monsters, Eden, SSHD).
Good post, good show.
Haha I was just teasing you with the squeal, cause it fit in some stretch of the imagination. It was good having this back and forth with you, bubbles for being good entertainment! Take care and hope to see you on the next FFVII article!
You meant to say sequel, but 'squeal' is a good play on words (if they do bring Sephiroth back at least). Also, Nice on the Banora whites reference, haha! I feel the same way. Genesis left me feeling dirty for FFVII. Especially the cheesy, B horror movie way that they left him up for a sequel without truly announcing it.
After 235 "The gift of the goddess"s I was sick and tired of his flamboyant as$
Well, it was inevitable, but let's look at all three systems. This is all personal opinion, but I'd like for people to add to it. I feel that the Wii has sold so well because of many factors. Yes, it is very casual, and it has capitalized on this market. But also it's very user friendly. It appeals to loyal Nintendo fans for their Zelda, Mario, Metroid, etc titles. And it applies to the masses for it's casual pick-me-up and play titles. (Wii sports, anyone?).
Add to that the fa...
Dunno.. Ratchet and Clank is supposed to be pretty good. Plus the games on PSN are stellar. Like someone said before me, Eden would have made it up there should the author have waited a day. The PSN shows us just how creative some games can be, albeit simple as they may be. Can't wait to see the next installment of Pixel Junk.
I read a lot of comments about how GTA IV should have been lower, if not removed from the list. What is people's gripes with the game? True, I feel that it shouldn't have received 10's from reviewers, as it's not perfect, but I feel it's a pretty darn good game. PS3 owners on this site hate it. I like it a lot.
The only thing, as a PS3 owner, that upsets me is the lower visual quality it has compared to it's Xbox 360 competitor's version.
So then, is it because ...
With the price tag of the now discontinued FFVII (it can run on ebay for like 80+ USD, used!) I would personally enjoy an announcement stating that they are bringing FFVII to the PSN.
Solidt12, I would like updated graphics (at least character models) as well, but I don't know the likliness of that happening. Whoever is at Squeenix making these decisions... they need to get their stuff together. If I was working for them, I'd probably get fired because all I would bring to ever...
Yeah, I think you might be one of the only people to enjoy that game. Then again, I'm sure if you played it recently... you might have a different view on it. I mean I used to love a lot of games back when I was younger.. but when I play them now? Not pretty.
