This is going to be pretty cool, and a first for E3 if I'm not mistaken.
A spectator event, sure. A sport, nowhere near.
"If you're going to do triple-I, it has to be different to triple-A. You can't just do a small version of triple-A. You have to be bold, and tackle subjects that everyone else is ignoring, and aim for a niche."
All I can say is it's about time. This sounds like what we should have been doing more of this generation, a back-to-basics kinda thing. Now while I slightly disagree that every game should tackle a subject that everyone ignores, games do need ...
I never thought I would see this, but here we are. Wonder how much longer we have now until a phone can do a console experience? I would love to say "never," but with 5G around the corner and technology getting better it seems more plausible.
Just in time for twilight to hit this generation. Now has been such a wasted opportunity.
Well, at least we have the date and time of when the internet studders. We truly are fortunate to know this, because the majority of people never get this information.
Well it's not just cheating, but also for adding malicious code to the programs. Now it makes more sense, even though 5 million still feels insane.
Probably horribly wrong, but the Devil May Cry collection seems like a good bet.
Super Mario Rum.
"Back in my day, men were men and pits were bottomless."
Good read (and find). Definitely a pretty honest account and some interesting moments at 90s Nintendo from a outsider-like perspective.
I would love to have a beer with Giles myself and hear more about his experiences.
As for the leather skinned dragon who once ruled Nintendo, Hiroshi Yamauchi, yeah... I'd be scared of him too. He always looked like he took no crap off anyone, which was probably because everyone was too scared to give him crap.
From what I saw there really isn't any jumps, unless minute, which is pretty plausible this late in the generation. Either way, I'm still ready for the next adventure.
Definitely. And this new kit makes me more interested in what's in store for Labo's future.
So, Croft: First Blood. Then again maybe it's more like the subsequent sequels, because Rambo isn't even Rambo. That flick ends in sadness and not a gun fight or a - "stabby stab" (couldn't resist because that come off as hilarious) - knife fight. I digress.
Either way, bring on Lora screaming: "You asked me, I didn't ask you! And I did what I had to do to win! But somebody wouldn't let us win!" or don't. Either way I'm ready.
All of the Big 3 are messing with mobile gaming in some way nowadays. Seems like the console "war" is slowly becoming how to create the right experience for the player than it is about the most powerful console anymore. Feels like we're on the verge of a united gaming ecosystem where petty console differences won't matter anymore.
I've been waiting on the successor, as Nintendo did say that Kimishima was a stand-in when he first got the job.
Nintendo's new president, Shuntaro Furukawa, seems like an interesting choice, as was Iwata when he was appointed.
Along with Furukawa, three younger executives will also replace retiring senior managers. Looks like new blood is entering the Nintendo boardroom.
Well, Mr. Furukawa, I look forward to seeing what you bring to the table. Goo...
I see your first console was the Gamecube. From that observation I am going to guess you started when games had already made the transition to 3D.
Based on that I deduce you have a set for how a game should look or "feel" even. This is something I've seen many times from other players younger than myself, and it's only going to get worse as time goes on.
To play the original and it feels out of place and to then play its remake and love it seems like a bloc...
Games grow to meet their audiences, and if it truly is happening now it's history repeating itself. In the 90s, games matured with the players, and now those kids are making games. They've come full circle.
Now I kind of hate knowing that. Maybe Gearbox will surprise us and put those rights to use in Gen 9? There's some great stories to tell in that universe. Otherwise, like you said, what's the point? Besides torturing fans.
As for Heat, yeah, I think you're right about Kane and Lynch. Gearbox now sounds like a mountain of unused rights.
Good read.
So, poor management with the over-reliance of Star Wars games, which reduced in quality. In defense, they were made in a different era, not to mention the brand was a cash cow.
Then we have Disney come in right when LucasArts was trying to pick themselves up and killed their new hope. Now we get mangled EA titles, because Disney knows nothing about video games.
I seriously hope Disney brings the studio back when the Wars' license expires o...
