I wonder why the article treats this as a novelty? PC has had many FPS with RPG elements, like Deus Ex for example. Nevertheless, it sounds promising and I'll gladly take another.
I could see MS buying this, mainly because of their reputation for buying out the competition. Sony, I've never seen as caring much about the PC market beyond MMOs, and on the console end I'd think they want to push the blu-ray format a while longer since they helped develop it.
You can run KZ2 on the Wii if you want, but there are always compromises. Can KZ2 run on the 360 w/o any compromises? I'm doubtful. The comment alone shouldn't be taken as proof.
Good news. It kind of defeats the point if the elevator rides travel long enough to break immersion.
"That would be a good april fools joke. I'm gonna get a sock and put some walnuts in it and then let it drop out on a guy's face when I take my pants off."
^^^Rofl. Now that's an April Fools. Youtube.
People keep saying "it's not [zconnect's] fault people didn't get it". "People can't take a joke". If you read the comments section, the very first comment called it as false and pretty much everyone agreed.
Most everyone got it, it just wasn't funny.
The only funny part was when the article writer started defending the story in the comments. Hilarious, but for the wrong reasons.
But w/e, no grudges here.
@Connor: And it's signed April 1st so come off it already.
We know it's a joke. You think John Yamamoto himself would drop a bombshell like this with absolutely no hype and only to Zconnect? You have got to be joking...oh wait, you are.
The fact that you're in here defending your own joke article by saying "it's real!" instead of offering up further proof only cements the fact, imo.
Oh, your comparison btw... The game Unknown actually has vid...
@MovieScouse007: Haha. Wow. You need to calm down.
If you haven't, visit America at some point. If your only interaction with us is through the internet (which is known to be full of idiots), or through American companies (money grubbing idiots), or through our politicians (power chasing idiots), then I can probably understand your tantrum.
Maybe because it's a mark of integrity to apologize or retract a false accusation when you don't have the evidence? Or when the evidence is contradictory to your claims?
But looking through the list of articles on the offending site, it seems like they're more into opinion pieces than reporting.
GOTY confirmed.
Seriously, good joke.
"I do know that 360 has great games , it is just that at this point in time , 360 lacks exclusive and most importantly ORIGINAL content big time."
^^^Ugly but accurate truth. Will we have to wait till E3 to finally get some new exclusives for our 360s? Sure, I have other consoles and my PC to play, but I don't want one of my current gen consoles collecting as much dust as my **********.
Edit: Removed console name to avoid flaming.
I never heard that one. Maybe a 1st-person view option during combat wouldn't be out of the question though. I'd think they would have shown that off in the video though so... *shrug*
Well, it's an interesting way to approach the F2P model. The only thing that bugs me is "paying for convenience". I think it's fine when the items function as largely aesthetic choices. That's about the only instance where I'll accept a microtransaction model.
But if you're buying these "stones", which the article describes as intrinsic to gameplay, what's the difference between that and EA's Battlefield: Bad Company fiasco?
If I could pay just the box fee like with GW, I'd probably play more MMOs. It's not a huge stretch because that's the norm in gaming with MMOs as the exception. Other games don't charge extra charge just to have access to content on a disc you just bought (I smell a DLC joke). And if you don't pay the subscription, your $30-$50 discs are completely worthless. That always bugs me with MMOs, which is one of the many reasons why I don't play them.
F2P is a good idea, often poorly i...
Possibly my favourite character in all of gaming. Warrior of few words and many weapons. What's not to love?
"Over priced toys"? Article sounds as if it was written by an angry fanboy from the other side of the fence.
Although, I agree many members of the media echo the Apple bias floating around these days in the wake of MS's Vista debacle. It's cool to hate on MS just like it was cool to hate on PS3 earlier in it's life cycle.
The ad as an overt attack goes right for the jugular. It's for the most part true that you can buy an equivalently featured PC for less...
Pretty awesome.
This would piss off anyone who played more than two FFs, I think.
@1.0: Who are you talking to? The (as far as I know) unknown devs of SEED or the well-known iPhone game publisher Chillingo? This isn't SE or Atlus, they probably don't have the budget for a full HD game.
You basically put Kotaku on trial without coming to a verdict. Yes, you made the accusation, there's really no denying. You brought a claim against them. Asserted a charge. Presented the possibility. W/e you want to call it = accusation. Then you went on to provide evidences to (turns out unsuccessfully) back it up. You conclude (correctly) that something is amiss, but your title precludes the reader from blaming anyone but Kotaku.
If I read your site all that much, I'd probably ...
