Please, someone do Star Fox justice.
Good god release already.
I love it. It's like skulls in Halo or Mutators in Gears. Honestly, allowing the player to stack unlock-able options on top of each other to vary up the campaign play-through is something you'd think you'd see more of.
Reading all these tweets makes me feel like I've just benged on over a dozen Chinese fortune cookies.
This is brilliant.
Thanks for the comment. Honestly, I haven't played many Sega games, but there have been plenty of times where I would be playing a game and suddenly realize that Sega was the one publishing it. I'll have to look into that.
Don't give up hope. Before the Arkham series, Batman was a joke when it came to video games. The right developer will come along some day.
I was jumping up and down when one of the creative Assembly guys said that the game isn't a "roller coaster of jump scares".
An important aspect of fear in gaming is the unpredictability of what can happen next. With a linear horror game, the game loses its effectiveness after just one play-through.
It's the difference between going to the fair and choosing between one of those on-rail haunted house rides, and going inside a non-linear haunt...
Survival Horror isn't slowly dying, it already died in the mainstream a while ago. If anything, the genre fell back to PC and has been slowly on the rise ever since. The fact that home consoles are getting, not one, but 2 bid budget horror games in 2014 is kind of a big deal.
Eyes are going to be on both Alien: Isolation and The Evil Within. If both are effective as big budget horror games, and prove to be successful, we could see a revival of the survival horror genre ...
I love these ideas, However I too am iffy on the amount of control that should be given to the player. It's not that player choice is bad, it's that it will lose it's value if you give the player too much of it. It's the equivalent of letting a child eat as much candy as they want and whenever they wanted. Suddenly, those sweets are no longer special because they're eating them for breakfast, lunch and dinner. That works for something like Resident Evil, but no so much for...
Interesting read.
I'm wondering the same thing, especially over the bit about used games not working. From what I've heard, the console only required an internet connection when you first turned it on. Is that correct? Wasn't that the main thing that Microsoft backtracked on as well as DRM? I'm so lost.
I still don't care for the Xbox One, but I'd at least like the reasons for why I don't like it to be consistent.
I'm... failing to understand how my definition of a niche game is "twisted"? According to you: a niche game is something that doesn't cater to the masses. EXACTLY, my point. Lost Planet was never a series that SHOULD'VE catered to the masses, but instead to a very specific audience. Perhaps I should've worded that better, my apologies for confusing you.
The point I'm making is that Capcom, like they did to the Resident Evil series, took a game th...
Yes, and the beauty of this was how it was used. Your health can only deplete until it reached a certain, critical point. After that, the health bar changed color and started depleting automatically (simulating that you were bleeding out); with a blood trail giving away your position. Sure, crouching did help to regenerate your health... but it's only really stopping the bleeding. So your health never really fully regenerated on its own.
For a stealth/sneaking game; this...
This goes back to that article that discussed just about the same thing, but from a different angle. In it, the author pointed out that with the current gen; the PS3 was incredibly hard to develop for and take advantage of, and at the same time it was far more expensive and came out much later than Xbox 360. Therefore, not only would it have been a hassle for multiplatform devs to unlock PS3's full potential, it would seem like a waste of time because the Xbox 360 had the bigger, more pop...
I agree with you, OP, at least to the extent that most people who cry foul don't even take the character's role into account (although I think some complaints are valid depending on the game), but that's not the only reason why I'm okay with Kojima's design for the "Quiet" character. For one, anyone who's ever played a Metal Gear Solid game will know that even the most sexualized female character isn't objectified for the sole purpose of selling game copi...
"And I find it strange how I’ve even seen a few Nintendo fans bashing the Xbox One for it’s power brick, when the Wii U has a pretty hefty power brick itself (how do you think the Wii U is so small?)."
And I find it humorous that, by the article's logic, the Xbox One even requires a power brick at all, considering that it's as big as a PS3. Maybe it's a heating issue? Whatever it is, I really don't want to believe that it was to make the console smal...
It's just a thing with sequels in my opinion. As something becomes more popular it's only inevitable that it will slowly mutate into something that can appeal to even more people and make more money. They add comic relief, they throw in product-placement, and the story will just get crazier as it's creator gets more and more power without having to answer to anybody (look at what happened to Star Wars).
Very few franchises retain enough integrity to remain what th...

But... isn't Jim Sterling's ego more of a character that he plays? If you've seen videos of him outside of articles, blogs and Jimquisition, it should be obvious. Jim is playing a character. Beer was not. Beer was just straight up annoyed and wanted Fish to know it. Beer was unprofessional, but Fish is a douchebag.
Suddenly, I could really go for a smoked salmon with a can of Guinness...
*shiver* you're right. Creative Assembly, please, take all the time you need.
