But it could definitely have been phrased better. Bottom line: we only give a crap about development when we're singing the praises of a fantastic game...or ranking it out as an epic fail.
So what he was saying in relation to Crysis 2, is that they'd better get it right the first time; because second chances are slim to none in this business, whereas PC gaming is a bit more forgiving as an industry.
Too bad he came off sounding like he was slanging his customers.
I bet he's feeling the sting of this epic fail now...goodbye, Activision, goodbye Kotick. You suck donkey balls, and now everyone knows it.
BTW: I might be trading in my COD discs. Battlefield BC2 is awesomely better with vehicles and a completely destructible environment.
Interaction between the virtual world and the real one is growing. We're not too far off from the whole "Computer: Tea, Earl Grey, Hot" era.
Milo is just another stepping stone in the interactivity arena. Too bad Microsoft tried to sneak it onto the market before it was ready - you'd think they'd have learned THAT lesson by now.
I suppose it isn't too much to ask to have a virtual person you can actually drive insane...of course, it makes me wonder seriously about the mental state of the person who'd want to do that in the first place...
Sorry Ubisoft, but a 5 hour campaign doesn't cut it these days. This is the gaming equivalent of making a 20 minute feature film. Don't get lazy - sit back down and finish what you started.
Don't you dare include Dead Space in that. Firstly, you're an engineer, not a marine; and second, there is always a good reason for you to be in a particular room. There is almost no dialogue whatsoever, and yet it creates a strong sense of story and character as you go along. All survival horror games should be as good.
Why is a skull wearing another skull as a pendant in that picture? I mean, it seems kind of redundant, doesn't it? Why would a dead guy wear another dead guy as a fashion accessory?
Now, if he was wearing the baby's head from the old PS3 commercial, THAT would creep me right the f*ck out - and it would actually make some kind of sense.
What man has coded or locked, man will decode and unlock.
What man builds, man will destroy.
In other words, like 'em or not, hackers are the inevitable result of the innate human drive to screw with everything - just because we can. As long as there are people who put things together, there will be others who take them apart. As long as we make laws, people will break them.
There's no inherent good or bad in that. Some laws are unjust, and some creations (l...
Sorry, but for something as ostensibly great as Home was supposed to be, to still be in beta several years later is an embarrassment. It also indicates there isn't much effort going into it; it's basically been left as an online store where you can spend money on virtual objects that serve no purpose whatsoever.
Killed off my Home account a looong time ago. And my hard drive thanks me for it.
Sorry - Gears of what, now? Is this an old 360 game? Sorry, I'm too busy contemplating whether to buy Heavy Rain, FFXIII, God of War III, or Battlefield BCII. I could care less even if L4D went multiplat.
Um, Kojima, buddy; without tech the only games you'll be producing will be text-based.
Unless we're talking about cloud computing, which I suspect is the case. In which case the Internet's technical foundations and the way in which we log on will both need to be revolutionized.
I won't hold my breath.
Odd that these code problems only affect some PS3s. You'd think they'd all be affected.
Still, we've come a long way from blowing on the cartridges, haven't we?
Mainly because they're totally shameless. Embarrassment is just another PR band-aid.
Niiiiice.
Good old Microsoft. You can always count on them to bleed you for peripherals.
You do realize what this means, right? Nintendo's feeling a little threatened. And what's more, their slagging the Move as a "Wii-too" whilst keeping quiet about Natal says it doesn't consider MS to be remotely threatening.
Ergo, Nintendo has (albeit in a backhanded way) acknowledged the Move as their official competitor in motion control. BOOM! ^_^
I'm so getting this. Just...please, Bethesda, iron out the bugs *beforehand* this time. Your games are epic and awesome - just remember to put a few coats of polish on before you release it.
They so totally will. And it'll have DRM hardwired into it. ;p
I think I'll stick with regular HD a bit longer, seeing as how its such a recent technology and all. Somehow I don't see people forking out thousands more just to have the 3DHD experience.
Now that's poetic irony - an ugly nympho. Why can't Angelina Jolie fall off a Wii-Fit board?
