I don't think they should remake it. It can ONLY disappoint. Let's say they changed one little thing, then some fan is going to get upset.
Should they use fixed cameras, like in the original game, or have a freely rotating camera? Fixed cameras would be better IMO, but they wouldn't really show the graphical updates very well (in FF7 they were pre-rendered backgrounds anyway). A free camera might take away from some of the tension, atmosphere, and cinematic quality of the game. ...
Yeah the mantis fight and the fights against Liquid Ocelot were awesome. And the game is fantastic if you sneak (that's what it's designed for!) I just felt that the bits where you are shooting are either too easy (soldiers) or pretty rubbish (first 3 bosses).
Mark my words - Too Human has now cooled the hype back down again now that we know the game is not "teh best evar", but I think when reviewers get their hands on the final game it will score better than everyone thinks.

She is also a "living corpse"...
The things that are "wrong" in my opinion are:
Game is too easy. The bottom two difficulty levels shouldn't even be there they're so ridiculously easy. You can practically run through each area and just ignore the guards who are shooting at you on liquid easy. "Solid normal" mode is easy and "The Boss Extreme" is nowhere close to what european extreme was.
You can gun your way through any area really easily. In previous metal gear games,...
IMO zipper's new game should have been called socom. Then people would have been far more excited about it than now it's called MAG. I don't think it would particularly have a negative impact on sales of this game. But we know the only reason for the interest in confrontation is BECAUSE it's socom - and bear in mind it's being made by a different company.
Maybe the reason it has got so much hype and attention is because it actually _is_ a great game? All the levels we have seen, which have been quite varied, have been made with the game. People have had so much hands on time with the game and they still say it's great.
I do hope it isn't. Although, saying that, can you name an AAA FPS that launched in the last 6 months?
Well _I_ hope it's not "Hardware 2"
I want to see an RPG D:
I reckon sony will likely buy media molecule in the long run (if lbp is a big success). Insomniac aren't going to be bought because they prefer to remain independent of sony, however they have a very strong relationship with sony, especially because of resistance, and ratchet, and now r2 is getting a big marketing campaign. So I don't think they'll be making any xbox releases any time soon ;) Quantic dream, however, I don't know. We'll see. It'd be great to see another exclusive from them onc...
And yet, you point out that the "two biggest fails" of this year and last were made by developers with a GOOD track record. Just as a "good" dev isn't bound to make a good game, a "bad" dev isn't bound to make a bad game.
Very true. I would add this: Throughout all the gameplay videos we have seen, it always states PRE-ALPHA at the top. Now some of these previewers see that as, "oh so the graphics aren't quite as good as they will be?". Then they turn their attention to nitpicking the control scheme/AI/gameplay, without taking the fact that it is pre-alpha code into account. These things have a lot of time to be improved upon, especially the control scheme. AI doesn't seem bad at all to me, with enem...
And yet they keep coming back for more lol
Yes I agree with him. Not particularly uncharted, but some games have a wafer-thin plot that just ties the action together so I can see where he is going with his comparison.

Isn't there a skin of elena to unlock? Or was that just me? I swear there was...
But WHY would you stop your own game from being released, knowing full well that there are other games available, as well as television broadcasting, that cause epilepsy in the exact same way?
Your source itself clearly states that those with photosensitive epilepsy could have it triggered by slow-flashing, high contrast lights which are "common in TV programmes and video games". So of course wipeout could cause epileptic fits, but so could lots of games or tv programmes, it doesn't stop them being released.
If 360 didn't have halo, no one would have a 360. I suppose then microsoft could have hyped the $hit out of another game, but the sole reason for an awful lot of 360 purchases was halo, and its massive advertising campaign.
I have an idea why, it's because RPGs have the longest development cycle and cost to produce _anyway_, add that to the already high cost of PS3 game development and it really is significant to create an AAA RPG, just look at how much they're spending on killzone 2; and they don't even need to think up much of a story, make a 40+ hour game, or record lots and lots of dialogue etc.
However, I can't think that team ICO will be making a shooter, and if it involves shooting in any way...
LOL bubbles for the laugh
Med-pack? In modern games you just have to duck behind a wall for 5 seconds and you'll be as good as new ;)
