Look, I like the fluidity of the visuals and movement in the Rayman 2D games but it's lacking in videogame history to derride Mario games - or any other platform games- against them.

Super Mario World still stands up as highly enjoyable and visually just right today.

And have a try on Castle of Illusion and Puppeteer and don't go on about Rayman quite so much.

That's exactly why Naughty Dog should do it. It hasn't been done really brilliantly yet.
It's been done solidly though - the film made a profit and Waterworld definitely has its fans.

Naughty Dog should make a game that's a spiritual successor to both The Last Of Us and Uncharted that's a bit like Waterworld, where nearly all of the game is surrounded in water.

You go around on jetskis to try to get to dry land, both to get food to live and to get new supplies, like parts of a boat, to get you to other areas after your jetski runs out of fuel. Plus there would be areas where you have to swim and have to avoid dangers like sharks and other sealife. ...

If they give at least 2 years' free Xbox Live with every purchase then they might have a selling point.

Otherwise I know what the score is - I'm paying for the privilege of certain exclusives on the console for the first few years of the generation. But that's not compelling sounding enough to make the XboxOne seem like the great buy that the PS3 eventually became.

The only reason it would deserve any hate is on the grounds of if it was shown it on a high performance PC rather than on an XboxOne. But I'm not sure that's the case.

The 'QTEs' are finishing moves, all spliced together in the demo for the sake of showing impressive animations. It's utterly ludicrous to think that the game is nothing more than Dragon's Lair in sandals. It's hack and slash, done more prettily and with more background detail and pro...

Major Nelson's only his Live name as well. His real name is Larry Hryb.

A good post. Sadly, there are always some people who automatically decide to give anything with dictionary definitions in it a thumbs down.

And Puppeteer. There's rarely such a good last year in any console life.

4575d ago 1 agree0 disagreeView comment

I bet the mainstream media would spin this as an admirable thing. And yet you'll rarely see, except with a note of slight condescension or caution, a mainstream report on young people who play videogames.

There is plenty of precedent to have concerns about the hardware quality though.
Microsoft later sent buyers of the original Xbox, including myself, a power button because otherwise it was identified that the console could catch fire after so long. Every time I put the power cable in the Xbox it crackled with electricity- that's not a healthy sound.

If they disagree for the hell of it, I'll delete my posts for the hell of it too.

Sony could really do with Jet Set Radio Future 2. They just probably don't know it. I suppose they'd think that Infamous and Mirrors Edge are close enough types of games. But the XboxOne has Sunset Overdrive and Sony could do with a fun game like Jet Set to counter it.

I'd like to see Ryse, Killer Instinct, Sunset Overdrive, and Quantum Break on PS4. But they're all extremely unlikely to ever become multi-platform. And they wouldn't even necessarily look or play any better because those games have been designed to suit the XboxOne.

Unless I get an Xbox One because then I'd want my purchase to be justified by the exclusives.

Yes, the same thing could be said about people jumping on the Xbox360. I personally didn't jump on it- I got a PS3.

But just because a company ends up having a decent line up of games in the end like Sony doesn't mean that I'm not allowed to be excited about playing some games that the competition are doing, no matter how close or not to a PC they may look.

That young man is symbolic of many PS4 supporters right now who might as well say 'I like PS4 because a man who writes for Edge who shouts at gypsies said so'.

Many people like to be a pseudo-intellectual, motion controller, hater now and what better way, especially if you were getting by with the Xbox360 during its last days, than to jump ship to the PS4? At the very time when the PS4 is , yes, settled, but also a bit conservative early on as Sony consoles always ar...

Get your own 'material'? You sound like a kindergarten philosopher and probably always will be. My post was alluding to the fact that, if Sony can be said to be in the secure and strong position at the moment, the fact that they still like to put out T-Shirts like this might show that they still feel a need to attack and defend to remind people that they've fought to get to this position. Look, every PR department is not necessarily great but it doesn't make you great when you...

You're almost certainly a disaster to videogaming. When did you make a game? With an exciting premise like an avenging Roman centurion in the heat of battle with scenery crumbling around him? That has Microsoft's confidence so much that it's an exclusive? Have you been spoilt by The Last of Us or something in to not seeing what other genres can bring to the table? Or did you want zombies and Marius to have a teenage girl to look after to pique your interest?

I hope you realise that if the PS4 gets off to a storming lead that is going to make the Xbox One the cult underdog.
This is not going to be a WiiU situation.

If you ask people who is more attractive - Pitt or Clooney 80% might go for Pitt, 20% for Clooney. But it doesn't mean that the average person thinks that Pitt is necessarily 4 times better looking than Clooney. It just means that for 80% of people, Pitt was at least 1 percentage point better for them ahead ...
