I bet he's mates with Bruceongames... :)
Erm - the guy has confirmed that they are doing Too Human 2? Not only that, but he's confirmed that they aren't gonna change much and that its a trillogy!
Seems to be multiple personality disorder going on here!
Maybe they are expanding and will do a new IP in addition to the trillogy...
I'd like to see them take on board the criticism of this one, and then improve those areas to make this the AAA it undoubtedly could be.
I'm not bashing this game, but I am suggesting its not quite the awesome blockbuster it had the potential to be.
Unfortunately, the guy doesn't seem to think any criticism is warranted at all, so I assume they'll release the same thing with a bit more story, which is s shame, because with just bit more 'focus', it could be a true classi...
I really don't have a lot of sympathy with Silicon Knights on this issue. There have a been a whole host of games developed with and released on the UT3 engine, and all those other developers have managed to craft fine games with it. This surely severely undermines their contentions?
Thats a pretty decent analysis, and the guy remains optimistic about the second half of the year, as he should!
Awesome news - and about time too!
There absolutely should be a standard.
I bought GH on the 360 specifically because of the incompatability of the guitars with rock band on the PS3, which have forced me to buy different versions of the same instrument!
What is MS up to?
I don't understand why MS are not going all out?
Its lost momentum to Sony in Europe, but could surely halt the decline with a strong showing here - and it has some real big hitters that can turn heads. Gears 2 and Fable 2 should have huge stands as befits titles of their stature, and if they have some announcements kept back, well heres the place to spill them!
By keeping a smaller presence, they ensure their competitors will get a bigger showi...
Pretty big 'if' DJ. GEARS2 will sell no doubt, but it will be the other RPG's that are likely to induce more spikes. We saw similar spikes for Ace Combat 6, and even Dynasty Warriors 6 (despite that being multi plat), but they were fairly short lived.
About the only point I agreed with in the article, was that the more installed base they have the better for the machines chances in that market for the long run, so the more 'spikes' they can generate the better. But I don't thin...
Enough time it seems to post rebuttals?? If you don't care Bruce, then why reply?
If you want to pretend that even your own CV's, that clearly show you are a trained accountant, are not correct, then you are of course free to do so.
Did you not set up an accountancy firm as your first 'job'?
Are you telling us that you are not in fact a trained accountant?
There's only one person here spinning the truth.
I'm stating ...
Please dude - people will find it funny and react in the open zone - this section is suppoosed to be for people to talk properly about a game. What satisfaction can you possibly get from spamming and annoying gamers who just want a civilised discussion?
The review itself seems pretty fair, and i think the score is a fair reflection on what could have been much better, but still ends up an enjoyable hack anyway.
You are a trained accountant.
Even the sickeningly obsequious article you link to says :
"In the late-Seventies, Bruce Everiss was an accountant with an interest in computers."
It's a point of fact that your formal education form Lindisfarne College is in accountancy?
If a doctor is a doctor, then surely an accountant is an accountant? So if you work in a games company, does that not mean you are an accountant in the games industry? The only ficti...
As PirateThom says, there is a way - but its difficult and not for the faint hearted. MS don't want users to change Hard drives without buying a system specific drive, and you pay more than can be explained for a propriety drive. The Sony machine is designed for user acess, so the approach is bit different.
That's why I've upgraded my PS3 but not my 360 yet. I tend not to download movies anyway (I'm a qulaity whore), and most of the live titles I have downloaded have been small, so it ...
If by 'working in the business', you mean 'been an accountant at a games firm' then you are right.
But Bruce knows nothing about making games, and is the kind of accountant all true devs absolutely detest.
Seriously - he's a MS fanboy through and through of course, but I couldn't care who he has an unholy allegiance with, his opinion is utterly worthless.
It might be enough for 360, as the game sizes are smaller. I've managed on my 20gig pro. But I fear with movie downloads as well, its still too small for a lot of people.
I had 60 gig in my PS3, but filled it up, and have just put a 320gig drive in it (for just £54). Thats the kind of size we really need!! :)
@tordavis
You sound like a brojken record. " thats your OPINION".
Of course its his opinion - this is a reply on a public website for people to state their opinion!! Don't you understand the concept?? Why do you feel it consistantly necessary to point out what every single person on this site knows already???
If you have a valid rebuttal to make as you don't like the opinion being expressed, how's about making a point instead of simply spamming??...
I'd suggest its negative advertising in most peoples eyes!
Anyone objective who wanted to a buy a machine and then read any of the rubbish spouted by 'Mart@xboxkings' or 'Nasim' would not want to be associated with them at all! I happen to be a fan of 360 AND PS3, but I find the kind of posts I routinely read on this site embarrassing, whichever 'side' they fall on.
"Most of us know that's not the case, but that developers are trying to make as much money as possible."
Utter fail mate. You could not be any further from the truth, and its obvious you have no idea of games developement. Marketting and stratagey are a complete seperate entity to the people who create the game - often not even in the same building.
The real developers, the coders and artists and designers who create the game, are simply striving to create a gr...
For some people, 'irony' is a little like 'bronzey' but with less yellow....
For a change, I have to agree with you!
All the titles you mention were landmark titles of artistic design. When I first got Ico I used to stand around and just looking at the design and scale of the scenery. It inspired me.
If you read, she was actualy fined £6000 - it was the court costs that raised it by another 10K.
£6000 was probably carefully derived by estimating the number of copies she helped to distribute and multiplying that by the game price. So 200 copies at £30 would put us in that area.
It confirms what most switched on people already know - if you are going to pirate games and music don't sit on a P2P network broadcasting it, you are just asking for trouble. Th...
