When I was 7 playing Pitfall in 81. I remember day dreaming of a video game where you controlled a character in a 3D world. Where you could freely explore a virtual world, but the idea of it at the time and the notion of it was so fantastical to me. I would just dismiss it as an impossible pipe dream. The graphics would have to be amazingly advanced. That's what drew me to Tomb Raider in 96. It was my dream coming true. The fact Lara was a girl didn't even concern me. I was finally ex...

Tomb Raider became popular because at the time there was no other game like it except Mario 64 and Bubsy 3d. People seem to forget that in 96 there were only three third person exploration games. Two were platformers. Tomb Raider was an Action/Adventure game. Where you explored in third person, climbing, collecting, solving room size puzzles, pulling down levers and pushing crates. It would influence so many games like Sands of Time, God of War and of course Uncharted to name a few. This usua...

Rise of the Tomb Raider uses a new, advanced version of the hair technology enabled by AMD’s TressFX. All of this will help Lara Croft have hair that behaves believably in the game.

“We definitely believe the hair technology we developed with AMD was a foundation for the way we believe hair will be rendered in the future video game graphics,” game director Brian Horton said on the official Tomb Raider Tumblr. “And, as pioneers of this–there’s not many people to look at for re...

I think they're in for a rude awakening. Most people haven't even tried VR. Maybe stores will let you demo VR, but a lot of people barely leave the house these days. Most people won't get the appeal of VR. There's no good games either to warrant buying VR. Especially at 300 dollars. I mean was anyone really impressed by what they showed at Playstation Experience? It looked like tech demos disguised as release titles. The same thing motion control did back in the day. Make a ge...

Take off in what sense? Take over the industry? We live in the live streaming/youtube generation. Where showing your face is very important. VR covers your face and shuts you out from the real world. It's a lonely isolated experience. A depressing future for gaming if you ask me.

Most gamers are too traditional. TV and a Gamepad is their thing. There's also a lot of people who stream and make youtube videos. It's become routine for them. The idea of putting this thing on their face all day is not their idea of interacting with their viewers. It's also 300 dollars. Which is about the price of a console. A lot of gamers can only afford one console. If they have 300 dollars. They'll think, do I want another console or VR?

Better sales don't always translate into being the superior product or having relevance. Look at the COD games. They always sell better than any other games. Are they better than all other games? No, its the same crap every year. Crap can also make the most money.

When will Tony Hawk take a hint? It's time to put personal relationships aside and find a new developer for the Tony Hawk games.

The Order is the Ralph Bakshi, Animated Lord of the Rings of Video Games. It literally feels like they ran out of money and abruptly ended the game. So many things were left unresolved. It easily needed 5 more hours. It should have been a 10 hour game at the least.

Uncharted games tell a good story but at the cost of real time game play. Most of the series features too many cut scenes and missions on rail. That doesn't mean it's not fun, but for people like me who prefer a more open world experience. It's not always my cup of tea.

It sadly reminded me of motion control demos from back in the day. It didn't help they were using Move controllers. How quaint. There was one demo that had near PSone graphics.

Correction: Both these services make you pay and call their games free but only one service let's you keep a game with no obligations afterward. Thief for example is free starting on December 15th for Xbox One. When my gold subscription ends. I can still keep and play it and never get gold again. Sony is renting you a game. Keep paying or they turn your lights off, lol.

Correction - PlayStation Plus gave out $1,000 in rented games in 2015. Keep paying your bill and you can play them.

That's more like it.

Only Microsoft actually gives you free games to keep with never paying again.

This is all so strange. It's like Konami was replaced by an evil doppelganger.
