Get extra college credit for playing video games...is this what heaven looks like? Now, if only they gave out scholarship money for "Solving every puzzle in Professor Layton's 1+2", then I'd be set...
Can't remember the last time I played Halo 2, but I sure as hell still watch the documentary. Makes you rethink your view on the game entirely, seeing how much work went into it.
Can't wait for ODST!
I love the competitive gaming scene for a lot of games, like all of those older arcade titles and their "quest for the high score", or actual player vs. player stuff. So this was a great look at something I'm new to (Street Fighter). Buying Street Fighter 4 and BlazBlue in the same year was the most fighting style games I've ever owned in my life. And I love both.
My top 3 favorite documentaries of all time are gaming related now.
1.) King of Kong: A Fistful of Quarters
2.) The Making of Halo 2 (Kick ass doc. included in special edition of Halo 2, I watched it like 20 times)
3.) I Got Next
Man, I love how much more seriously people are taking gaming now. It's great for our industry.
Though ultimately I'm sure they will fall on deaf ears, this is one time I agree with a move like this. People, specifically younger kids playing racing games, take the lax speed limits in the game too seriously. Trust me, when kids I know's Facebook status say "Just went 170 on Bar Beach Rd.", a road, coincidentally, where there have been countless deaths due to speeding, somethings up. I happen to know that the kid plays a lot of Burnout. Sure, it may be an over-reaction, but ...
Great documentary, which I recommend to anyone who likes gaming. Also, fantastic interview, I can't wait for part 2. Gootecks inspired me to use Balrog, and I'm sure a lot of people would say the same. Everyone should check out his tips album on iTunes with Ed Ma, and watch I Got Next. One of the classiest pro gamers I've ever seen, and one of the smartest. Best of luck to him in his future endeavors.
I hope they make one
It actually sucks for us writers, cause we have to follow them so as not to miss out. Makes our lives ridiculously complicated ;)
yeah!
Now why are we hating on on-rails shooters. My experiences with horror games were built on them! House of the Dead was my obsession when I was younger. Dead Space: Extraction is going to rock all of our socks, and we know it.
I don't buy Madden every year. Haven't bought it since the first next-gen iteration with 06'. Then I realized that those games bore the hell out of me.
Very true. Hell, we saw the backlash that MGS 4 caught to some extent, over how you could just run through, guns blazing, if you wanted to, more so than any game previously in the series.
Yup, that about sums it up
I generally defend Microsofts charging policies (yes, we should be paying for LIVE, it's a significantly better service), but this is ridiculous. Charging for a social networking service? No. Just no.
Ah, I can't read too many articles like this. Just makes me wish even more that I was a designer. Luckily, that looks to be what I'm heading to school for, so maybe the dream isn't so far removed from reality. Great read by the way, I remember loving bungie in the Halo 2 documentary that was made a few years back. Great stuff!
Will buy for sure, but my PS3 is just now starting to lose that year and a half layer of dust it had collected. Can't wait to see what the future holds.
Watching that E3 video, I was plenty impressed. Particularly your climbing partner in that mountain sequence. That may be the most detailed in-game face I have ever seen.
A proper KOTOR, not an MMO. While I'm excited for Old Republic, it won't be the same.
I actually didn't hate that flick, but it's quality would have been the same no matter who played Bruce lol.
That last round between him and JWong was incredible. The best match I've ever been held witness to, and though that's not a lot, it's still really amazing.
