I never played the 2D Metroid games and I never wanted to. The only thing I've ever liked where someone's in a spacesuit is the Alien series of films. Why? Because it's not really about space. It's about complacent humans being shown their own greed. It's a twist on the old haunted house murder mystery idea where people are picked off. The difference is that everyone knows the culprit but even all staying together would be no guarantee of safety because it's non-human ...
I wouldn't matter how cheap the Xbox One was (or the PS4 for that matter).
If you buy a console for certain exclusives then you'd never be able to say you'd get a better 'deal' through getting the console that doesn't have the exclusive that you want to play!
On the other hand, it is possible to overstate in your own mind how much you will like a certain exclusive. There may be a very similar type of game on the other console that woul...
Xbox One needed the Kinect 2.0 to have a unique selling point over the PS4.
But trust me - unless you are the fabled person who buys a console as a kind of Golden Mean balance between entertainment options where you work out your body instead of your thumbs, buy whichever once has the games that you like the best. Motion control is not a worthy reason in its own right- in fact it can be downright annoying- and core Xbox One games don't even use it.
If you...
Probably little better in Xbox One's case sadly. Xbox always pours all its resources to start of gen. And even if the Xbox one is capable of more do you think the likes of Project Spark, which looks Xbox 360-like, is going to do it?
Quantum Break may look nice but we all know that Sony games will look nice too.
Considering later PS3 games like The Last of Us and Beyond Two Souls still look decent it's not really quite the impressive tech showcase that it could have been.
It's impressive looking compared to Xbox360 games which isn't hard.
It's also about as deep as a shallow puddle in terms of what you have to do in any scenario.
But it has some style which counts for something in a grasping at straws ways to justify buying an Xbox O...
Not really all that 'uprising' gets 62 agrees? It makes no sense.
Anyone who's bought an Xbox One (the actual machine only says 'Xbox' on it which doesn't bode well- suggests a closing full circle for the Xbox brand) knows that it wants to educate you (Ted), it wants to make you fit (Xbox Fitness), it wants to make you stick your hands out in front of you until you accidentally choose the wrong app, it wants your bank details to do anything built in to it that you once got for free on the PS3, it wants to not easily allow you to search for ...
I've always had my suspicions about that person. They're really nice...
Notice how it's always necessary to introduce some non-graphic design element in to make a game be widely called 'art'.
Ico introduced a companion.
Bioshock introduced politics.
These games could- and should- stand up as art by their graphic design alone.
But was Grim Fandango widely called art? Not in the way that people spasm about Journey with its lack of communication.
So do call some videogames like ...
1) Xboxes & their controllers too large for Japanese tastes (look at the Dreamcast- typically Japanese-like in its quirkiness but even that didn't do well in Japan. Big controller. The Saturn did better in Japan).
2) Early Xbox advertising has probably stayed in their mind. It was very 'American dudes'. Not a good way to endear yourself to old war rivals. Maybe the Japanese accept some Western characters but only when done with some grace and style.
...
For me the fact that they haven't released Luigi's Mansion 2 (aka Dark Moon) on WiiU is unforgivable.
The last of nothing. Naughty Dog are here to stay for a long time.
Well surely the gist of this idea became incorporated in to Banjo Kazooie: Nuts and Bolts. A game that, whilst quite pretty, was too clever for its own good. We're not all mechanically minded.
Why can't Rare come up with a game that's a bit like an Uncharted style game only with their back catalogue of characters instead. Cooper as hero for instance. Puzzles a bit like Conker's Bad Fur Day style. Shooting elements like Perfect Dark. Kinect or normal controller...
The Xbox One is so clever that if you do a search for Sunset Overdrive or Quantum Break on any of its search functions it can't even show you a trailer for them.
And forget about finding an 'indie' section or specialist exclusive articles on the best of last gen like Alan Wake.
It is a fundamentally screwed up box with no respect for its future nor its past. Your only option for proper gaming entertainment on it is to buy its £60 games, to go...
It's the beginning of the end for the Xbox.
The original Xbox had a worthy purpose. It provided PC-level graphics on a console. It provided irreverent, more Westernised, games than Sony was tending to offer.
The Xbox 360 was the first console that there was for high definition televisions. For a bit it was the only console that you could play Bioshock on.
But around the launch of Uncharted 2 things changed.
The PS3 got in its stri...
It appears that he never says that the Xbox One will catch the PS4 so why is that the headline on that site?
Even the most fervent Xbox fan who favours the console over the PS4 need not kid themselves that the Xbox One will necessarily catch up sales wise. Nothing in history suggests that it will.
Not the previous 3 generations of hardware sales (Sony's never lost a generation in hardware sales). Not how the tier indie games have been more populous and po...
I thought Sunset Overdrive was going to be Jet Set Radio meets Mirrors Edge.
I think you need to play Dragon's Lair to see a game that is a movie (not a boring one mind) where you press buttons every now and then.
I agree with you to the extent that some sections in TLOU in my opinion are more or less puzzles rather than as free as they initially seem (some tactics seem always destined to end in death). But how many times do people play through a single player game anyway when it will never seem as fresh the second time no matter how many true opt...
It could be argued that people would be inventing whole new swear words if they were in her position. Have you seen those clickers?
It's probably possible to play the game switching off verbal audio if desired isn't it?
Not that the violence and sometimes psychologically intense level design would make it any less an 18 certificate.
And wait over a year to play it?
Given that some of the best critically rated games from the PS2 like Shadow of the colossus were released in HD on PS3 it'll have always been potentially on the cards but no true fan nor true 'geek' would ever want to wait.
