Between this and what Epic is doing with Unreal Engine 4 I may have to give game design another try.
Sighhh, ignore this one, I thought the first didn't post.
Good. Anything good for Nintendo brings a smile to my face. I'm all for progressive and mature game design. The issue is that much of what comes out on the other systems doesn't count as either.
So it's good to have Nintendo. Maybe they aren't making a game with a story like Bioshock but there is nobody out there that can stand with them on consistency and brilliance of design.
Good for them. Right now, anything good for Nintendo really makes me happy. The worst thing about the Wii U is its bad press and The 3DS, even though it's a huge success, is still prone to back-handed compliments ("it's great for what it is." "It's the best hand held system ever.")
More and more I feel like the only REAL game company is Nintendo.
We need at least ONE game system creator like that. I think if they ever step awa...
I really liked the first inFamous but never got around to the second. I remember hearing some negative reviews so I largely forgot about it. Since then I've heard better things (things that make this apparent 50/50 split in opinions understandable) and am now under the impression I was wrong, at the very least in thinking it wasn't worth my time. I'll have to give it a try at some point.
Ok, I think there WILL be a Shenmue 3. Further, I think it's probably in some form of development right now. That said, I also think interpreting what he said today about wanting to do one under the right circumstances as confirmation FOR this is reaching. If you are going to take something as a clue I'd be quicker to suggest the "dot dot dot" thing. If nobody anywahere was doing anything with it than I wouldn't see why a cryptic answer would be appropriate. Especially i...
I'm getting nervous. We have a little less than 2 hours to go and, I don't know, maybe I'm overthinking this but I feel like maybe Sony has been really quiet on this. Or at least more quiet than they should be if they are announcing the game. Like, the only people talking about this right now are the handful of us that really want it. Sony isn't sending out invitations which I fear they might. Game journalism sites, I fear, would have been told about this beforehand which woul...
When I heard From Software was actually going to respond to the complaints I though "wow, that's something you don't see every day, a developer acknowledging a problem and shooting strait with fans when they don't have to."Noow that I've read said response I don't feel that way anymore.
Pfft! Try being a Final Fantasy fan. No matter what game you start with, no matter how much you love it, the series will be different enough that you hate it 4 games from then.
You know what's (relatively) sad? Even if I found one of these things I still couldn't afford it.
There are a million choices in "classic" RPGs like FFVII, just not narrative choices.
This is so depressing.
I never played Crazy Taxi but I did play The Simpsons: Hit and Run. Correct me if I'm wrong but that was basically a re-skin or CT, right?
Anyway, It's good to see its return as H&R was a ton of fun.
I'm not really sure competition is the reason, or even a big reason, the 3DS is doing well. Or for that matter why any console does well. I think we typically see most systems selling when they have games people want to play. The 3DS has done better since the Vita has come out actually. And I would say its because people want to play what's on it now.
I wouldn't say they are supporting it more, Nintendo has many games in development for both, many announced, man...
I had a vague recollection of having heard the title somewhere as a game in development. Otherwise I was completely unfamiliar with all of this till about 20 minuets ago.
I don't have anything to say other than whats expected I suppose. Praying for them.
Hmmm, I don't know what I think of this.
Hmmm, I don't know. See, the thing is, they really haven't had 3rd party support for true AAA games on any system since the GameCube.
So first I'd disagree with saying that the 3rd party scene had much impact on the Wii. In fact, developers said time and time again that nobody could move 3rd party software on the thing. Of course there were a handful of acceptions but so many other poor-selling games proved to be the rule.
The second thing I'...
I REALLY don't understand the snubbing of Bioshock Infinite in so many categories. It was a far from perfect game, I concede, but to not even be in the conversation? It wasn't even up for best story, something it had all over The Last of Us and it's patchwork of tropes.
As much as I was excited for it I never liked it. I tried to get through it a bunch of times but it wasn't scary and there was so much action that it just threw me off. I didn't know if I was supposed to kill everything or fearfully hold onto ammo. I may try it again one day but for now, for me, it's still the place Resident Evil died.
I know I'll get shouted down with comments and disagrees but thie universal praise this game is getting is so frustrating.
It's a game with wonderful character interaction and characterization. Probably the best we've ever had. So it definitely deserves some recognition. But while people were, eventually, able to see through Uncharted as uninspired game design wrapped in wonderful characters, it seems like this game is immune.
