GTAIV was my MOST anticipated game ever, because I didn't think they would let it turn for the worst.
I think I've read that Japanese are generally affected by the motion sickness, caused by FPS-type gameplay. I could be wrong though.
For me personally - I'm so sick of playing FPS for the last 15 years, I don't care if they never make another one. Sadly (for me) FPS is not going anywhere. But I do think Kojima's talent would be wasted on an FPS - there's no room for this genre to evolve. Here's the summary of what changed in an FPS in last 15 years:
Halo - introd...
I officially presnt PoP team with a "Nice Try/It's the effort that counts" award. Just don't cry, OK?
"just look no further than the cutscenes of MGS 4"
The cutscenes in MGS4 is exactly WHY I said what I said. They were drawn out to the point where the converstions became so long, that you would forget what was said earlier. They could have been condensed by 20-30%, in my opinion. It's fine to have them in a game where your experience can last from 10 to 40 hours, but in a movie when you have to fit everything into 2-3 hours, you have to express yourself a bit more co...
Kojima needs to get it out of his system - he's been talking about making movies for a while. I loved MGS4, but I would gladly trade a few hours of cutscenes for a few more hours of gameplay.
Kojima is a brilliant (if not the MOST brilliant) game designer, but I don't think he will succeed at making movies. And if he fails, we'll be happy to have him back, making games.
Samurai Shodown Anthology released in Japan? WHERE THE HELL IS NA RELEASE??? Out of all games for PSP, I've been waiting for this one the most.
I submitted two of the three articles myself for a reason - go to alleyinsider and complain! That's how we got Time to fixe their stupid article.
I'm starting to wonder if he's been paid. A while ago Peter More talked about how they used to launch viral marketing campaigns, to undermine the competition. Just funny how there's a flood of these articles 2 weeks before major sales holiday.
My advice - go to AlleyInsider and report him. We just did this about that Time article and they fixed it.
This guy just won't quit.
I've never been on XBL, but ALL online communities have this, be it WoW, PSN or XBL.
Speaking of XBL, I saw this a while ago, same thing and kind of funny:

This is written by the same "writer" that wrote the now infamous CNN article.
Everyone is balming CNN. AlleyInsider provided the article and CNN just posted it while forgetting to read it.
While I feel that CNN has given us more then their share of bullsh!t over the years, I think this one is just a mistake. Blame AlleyInsider.
I can't say wether this game is overrated, but it's definately not my type of game. I downloaded the demo and didn't enjoy it. I liked the art and presentation, but I'm just not into these type of games. This is something for more hardcore gamer I guess.

The only part of this article that scares me is that this woman is the HEAD of FCC.
I sent it to:

Didn't you say yesterday you had some exclusive news about a "certain Sony handheld"? Or did I miss it?
I'd be disappointed if it was just a cutscene. I finished MGS two weeks after it came out and honestly don't remember anymore what the deal with 6 months was, but I do remember something.
Now, if all of the sudden some more gameplay unlocked - then I would proclaim MGS the best game of all time!
You guys over in Europe do get shafted a lot, so why not give you something early for once. Good luck, hope it happens for ya!
The worst part about the environment in GTA is that there are barely any people in Manhattan! I work in NYC and it's never that empty, not even at 3 AM.
Driving through Algonqiun/Manhattan at 12 in the afternoon, I felt like I was playing a game based on "I am Legend"
EDIT: also 1.) Saint's Row's Stillwater, on the other hand, has lots of people on the street at any given moment. 2.) Realism is not the same as fun. 3.) Have you played the SR side missi...
