Or perhaps 2 episodes of Sonic the hedgehog 5.
But whatever the case (Rockman's idea is perhaps more likely) Sonic will be involved as there's the sound of his rings falling.
Sonic Adventures 2 probably looks no noticeably worse (just different, maybe a bit sharper and jumpier) on the Dreamcast as that console had timeless visuals. Modern gaming visuals tend to like to soften things a bit to give the impersonation of being less sterile but , essentially, Sega's Dreamcast games still look like the future.
It's extremely relevant to gaming now. You'll notice so many things that were essentially introduced by this game in to gaming as it is now. ...
There's been a big lie about Nintendo over the years that they were major innovators. They are sometimes credited with inventing platform games- a search on Wikipedia shows that there were a couple of platform games before Donkey Kong. They created a few adventure games and sports related games.
The NES pumped out blocky games of mind numbing simpleness for £40 each. It's no wonder that UK audiences generally rightly stuck to the Commodore 64 and the Amiga until ...
I hate space games. They've got no atmosphere.
Metroid Prime is an exception because the only time you really see space is right at the start. Apart from that, the mechanics of it are often that you could be playing a Zelda game or any 3D platform game. I think that's why I didn't like Echoes- too sci-fi in concept.
Dead Space is utterly derivative of Aliens, Doom 3, Silent Hill, Bioshock etc... I suppose most people are so derivative that they do...
To the mass market, the PS3's become almost like the new Dreamcast, only one that's managed to sell enough to go in to the next generation. I do sometimes wonder if the PS3 would have been even better without resources being put in to their handhelds though but they probably did the right thing- the cost conscious masses had already latched on to the Xbox360 and those who hadn't waited for the Wii. By the time the PS3 was a bargain the mass market imagined - or pretended- that the...
In this day and age you have to stop yourself talking about sequels because otherwise some people imagine that the game is older than actually is and wait for the sequel instead of buying the original game- and then the original game undersells and a sequel doesn't necessarily become feasible.
Concentrate everything on talking about this game.
It looks like you're going to keep on spelling words your own way too.
According to some websites, the PS3 has more users connected to the internet than the Xbox360. This should not be seen as surprising- the PS3 has in built internet capability and , most importantly, it is free to play online (apart from the usual broadband supplier costs of using the internet of course).
Despite this, the Xbox360 apparently has more users connected to the internet at any one time. Again, this should not be seen as surprising. The Xbox360 has sold a bit more a...
The original fat PS3 was a bit of a design lapse in my opinion, not in touch with the past sleek Sony designs.
Anyone who'd had or seen the old Xbox didn't want another huge monstrosity on their house even if it was backwards compatible.
The PS4 needs to embrace quirkiness in my opinion. Some PS3 titles have done that a lot (and Puppeteer is due next year) but early on in its life it was a little too overblownly generic.
I was trying to think of how to defend DLC but my overwhelming feeling is that it's a bit like buying a house from an estate agent and then later having to buy a key to access a secret passage in your own home with the estate agent explaining 'Oh the secret passage? Oh yes that's yours but the key's not included'.
But I can see why they do it. They're just putting something ready on the disc that would otherwise require downloading. Also, in your house...
Limbo is good for this. After staying on your character for a few seconds, the screen slowly fades out, not uniformly but in stages as if a candle has just been blown out.
Mainly speaking, Nintendo have been most concerned with being a family entertainment company (hence Famicom - Family Computer). In the few cases where, often through third parties, they've flirted with mature titles they've been nearly always critically, if not necessarily commercially, successful e.g Conker's Bad Fur Day, Eternal Darkness, Resident Evil Remake, Resident Evil 4. The Wii started off in a similar way with some mature titles like Red Steel, Mad World (and the unrelea...
Sony were wise not to include a headset with the PS3. There might be much less voice chat but at least those who are going to take the time to buy one might be more likely to have something good to say when they use them.
Puppeteer on PS3, due for release next year, looks gorgeous. It looks like a real cult classic , like a cross between a Megadrive platform game and Paper Mario. I hope that it sells millions.
At some point someone at Rockstar decided that Max Payne mainly about shooting bad guys in 'awesome slow-mo'. If that was Remedy's main intention then why would they have gone to all the bother of the most compelling psychological set up to a series, the murder of his wife and child with some disturbing dream sequences? The first 2 games were not just arena after arena where they threw in a wave of bad guys - there were some examples of that but most of the game saw you travelling...
As has been said, Silent Hill : Downpour is a decent game (or seems to be from the start of it that I had to play in a rental). Not as scary as the earlier games (although I only played Silent Hill significantly) but it didn't quite seem to resort to the same old tactics.
Survival horror has partly been incorporated in to other games. Rage had a feel of it in parts for instance.
Dead Space is not my idea of survival horror. If I'd wanted that I w...
It's natural for this to happen when such highs have been achieved. Look at The Beatles - 7 or 8 great years and then they split up. If Rare had kept improving their games it would have been too much for most mere mortals to take.
Someone who won 148 million pounds just for filling out a lottery ticket is in the news. Why should the creators of Banjo Kazooie still be slaving over a new masterpiece instead of driving around in their new sports car just to get a fifth of the sales ...
Personally I think that the Xbox may have had at least a little to do with this new direction just in the overall balance of the industry. A Japanese console, the Dreamcast, had left the console wars, and an American one had taken its place. Resident Evil didn't immediately go on to the Xbox brand but the ground was set even by RE4 for a less thoughtful style of gaming.
Right aggesan - it's the equivalent of discussing about board games with someone and they start spouting off about the type of cardboard that was used rather than about the game itself.
For what you get, the PS3 has turned in to the biggest bargain since brand new Gamecubes were selling for 40 pounds. But, like the PS2, the Sony console got off to a slow start gameswise, possibly partly because both consoles have difficult architecture (and there used to be an assumption that the Playstation name alone would result in a great launch). So the PS4 should have at least one really great exclusive so that Sony make more money whilst the price point is still relatively high.
