@Courier. I wasn't the one saying anything about Halo. The top commenter up there originally, "omg are they saying Halo is dead?" and then later edited his comment :)
I'm still not entirely sure what you're question was or is?
Destiny certainly looks interesting, but I wouldn't write off Titanfall just yet. It has a frantic pace and the blend of massive titans and pilots looks rather interesting. Obviously the titans have vast size on their side, but pilots have amazing agility.
At first I didn't think much of Titanfall, but after watching some gameplay I'm quite interested in it now.
How did you come to that conclusion? They're debating which game, Destiny or Titanfall, which is heralding in the new age of FPS gameplay, if either of them are.
I didn't read anything declaring Halo is dead.
lol, with my luck quite probably :D
No, I certainly wouldn't describe him as being important, however I would still hold that he is still prominent, or famous, if you like, within the context of the videogame industry.
Take the Oxford English Dictionary's example of how the word prominent can be used: "she was a prominent member of the city council." She was only prominent within the city council. Likewise Cliffy B, I would argue, is prominent within his industry.
I can certai...
I've been keeping an eye on the reviews and plan on picking it up at some point. It's just a little steep on the price for me at the moment, and cash is hard to come by these days.
I just want that mug! I wonder if they'd consider actually turning those into a full production piece of merchandise, because I'd love to get one but don't really want to pay for the complete edition to get it.
Mind you, it is a pretty nifty edition. The prices of these kinds of things have been getting a bit mad over the past few years, though.
Each to their own. The digital content is never exclusive for very long, so I'd rather have some cool physical stuff in my special/collector's editions. Something I can hold in my hand, and, if need be, utilise as a weapon should the zombie apocolypse happen.
Just throwing this out there to see if there's any other fans going around: Total Annihilation absolutely has to be on my top list of the best RTS games ever. It wss beautifully balanced, had some awesome maps, cool units and great gameplay. I've sunk a lot of hours into that game, and still do thanks to the massive amount of mods available for it.
I might just have to check that out, then. Cheers, Blackmonone :)
Usually I'm more of an RTS person, but some turn-based games manage to really capture my interest, and Civ V is one of those games.
To describe Cliffy as prominent is fair and quite accurate. The man has been, and still is, one of the most recognizable people within the industry, to the point that even non-gamers know his name.
Like it or not he is prominent.
As a Scotsman I still wish there was an option to play as Scotland with William Wallace as the leader. First order of business, ally with Ireland and invade England! :P
Might have to dig into the mods and see if any of those can make my dreams come true!
Then the new one may be right up your alley, as it's been designed with gamers like you in mind.
Something that at least worked on a fundemental level, at least :D
Thankfully I didn't back this project. Had I done so I'm fairly sure that by now my soul would have been ripped from my body by the vengeful Gaming God and fed to the many horrendous demons inhabiting the special hell reserved for people that talk in the theatre.
Actually, it is accurate: it was the excitement of playing the game that triggered the dormant condition. However, the article does come off as somehow trying to say the videogame is at fault.
If the game hadn't triggered it, then something else would have.
It IS an entertainment device. Microsoft made it clear when they intially entered the console market that they were intending on creating a convergent piece of tech that did all the jobs of several different devices, so that they could "own the living room"
Games are just one aspect of what the Xbox One has been designed to do.
As a gamer, that's a bummer for me. Still I'm logical enough to see why they want to go down this route: should it ...
Because it's unlikely. To create a game pushing 4K resolution would be very, very tough, and the Xbox One doesn't seem to have the raw power required to do it.
A smaller, Arcade style game could maybe do it. Maybe.
I've heard some really mixed things about it, but as a bit of a movie lover I'm willing to give a whirl at some point. If nothing else the actual premise interests me.
