NATAL: Camera
Playstation Motion Controllers: Camera + Wand
It's fairly obvious which one has more potential. While one can only do camera-based motion controls, the other can do that plus a whole lot more. Anyone who even thinks otherwise, needs a new brain.
Had Tekken 6 remained exclusive, we would have seen it sooner, instead of this year when it got lost in the shuffle amidst all the good fighting games as well as big name games released during the holiday season.
For a team that's been making games exclusive to 1 platform, the added pressure of making it multi-plat prove its undoing. Instead of 1 great game, we have 2 lesser versions of what-could-have-been.
I probably played Tekken more than any other game, not jus...
Dude, I wasn't talking about the genre. If you've read my comment, you will know that I did not mention it, even though MGS pioneered the stealth-espionage genre.
Its everything else about it, that we find on every videogame several years later bears the imprint of MGS and its undeniable legacy, that I'm commenting about.
Like the voice-acting, though a feature that's been done before but not on the level of MGS.
Incredibly production values, that div...
5. This reason fails, because Golden Eye, was the one that popularizes FPS on consoles.
4. Machinima? Good grief, I've been watching machinimas long before Halo's 1st and for the most part made from Unreal and Source. Besides the only machinima I know from Halo are Blue vs Red.
3. It's called milking. Maybe you haven't heard of other dairy produce like Mario and FF? As for map creation and sharing, other FPS have done it before HALO, besides I thought this was abou...
From the story, characters, voice acting, great graphics, well thought-out gameplay, memorable boss battles, incredible production values, all wrapped up in an unforgettable cinematic experience that was unseen yet for a videogame at that time.
You might say it's the blueprint of modern videogames. Alot of videogames we have now today owes alot to MGS, and yep that includes HALO.
The Xenosaga series, and Dark Cloud 1 and 2 plus Rogue Galaxy on 1 disc.
Very well thought-out arguments, and he gives really valid points. Specially the one concerning, the finite resources by developers and how it will affect us.
I always believe that we are not the main target market for NATAL, and that MS is prepping it more as a direct competitor to the WII HD. By the time Nintendo launch its next console, The 360 with NATAL will retail at the same price or probably even less. This give the 360 a better chance at a greater market share bec. of t...
You would have thought that a game with a 98 on metacritic, it would stand the test of time and be called a "true classic". Unfortunately, GTA4 disappointed alot of people, me included. After the phenom that is San Andreas, GTA4 feels like a step in the wrong direction, and a huge letdown for fans of the series. That's why I think that alot of people have move-on, and could not be bothered to buy the DLCs. I myself along with my friends would not buy the DLC even if it came to the P...
that there is no mention of HALO ODST, HALO WARS, TRIALS HD nor SHADOW COMPLEX.
50 cent?
DJ Hero?
Farmville?
Fuel?
Velvet Assassin?
There are other more noteworthy games than those listed above, particularly:
Madworld
Muramasa
Little King's Story
BlazBlue
Demon's Souls
Yeah, I second that dude. I would love to play Bleach on consoles too.
I'm hoping that Vanillaware would develop one for the HD consoles, in the vein of Muramasa and Odin Sphere, that would be sick!
but, where the hell are the .hack games for consoles?
Seriously, Namco Bandai should stop developing crap like Dead to Rights: Retribution and Splatterhouse, and give us games that we really want. I mean how about a new ACE COMBAT game, and this time for the PS3 too? Or a Gundam game made in the vein of Chromehounds or a Gundam RPG?
I mean if Namco Bandai, can fork the cash to develop Dead to Rights: Retribution, how hard can it be to do it for a Breakdown sequel? J...
It's truly a sad state of gaming we have now, if journalists offers the "Compromised Fact", to soothe every ruffled feathers out there, and keep the illusion of peace, in the expense of simple honesty.
I'd rather have the unvarnished truth, layed before me in all its painful glory, rather than the pitiful delusions designed to placate everybody.
For them to not include Killzone 2, makes a mockery of their integrity as well as their credibility.
Good thing I didn't :D
I just hate the callous way IW and Activision treat their fans and their blatant disregard for their concerns. Its like they stop caring the moment they had their money.
So take this lesson to heart, to those of you that have been burned by this. Don't let the hype blind you to their faults, otherwise you're just giving them permission to walk all over you.
Why do I get the feeling that you have to pay for this?
They and IW are in contention for the Group Award.
they decided to parcel the awards out somewhat deliberately, inorder to please everybody. You see every big game, having won at least an award. With a few head-scratchers thrown in between.
As for the fan votes, I think it is a farce. Used mostly as a guide, in how much they can get away with. So the polls, may have been in favor of UNCHARTED 2, but since AC2 placed second, I guess they have no qualms in giving it the award.
In a sense Spike VGA is like the MTV Movi...
but if this game makes full use of the Playstation Motion Controllers and implements it well, then I'm willing to give it a chance, granted that this one gets good reviews.
UNCHARTED 2 is the DEFINITIVE GOTY of 2009. It definitely STANDS HEAD AND SHOULDERS ABOVE every other game this year.
Though I hope Demon's Souls gets a few nods as well, since that game is probably my most played game this gen and my personal GOTY.
Let's face it we're just setting ourselves to be disappointed, if we're expecting much from SE. I'm guessing it's something for the WII/DS, or for the japanese mobile phones.
SE won't announce KH3 because Birth by Sleep hasn't seen a release yet. They can't announce a remake for FFVII too, because FFXIII hasn't seen a western release yet, more than that, FFVII remake would probably be a Playstation exclusive, which we all know SE is allergic to doing this gen.
