Quote from Thrik

They did the same thing with the GameBoy and that was equally confusing. I think there were literally about 10 GameBoy models, but only two honest-to-god actual versions (the GameBoy and the GameBoy Advance).

Heh yeah, the Advance generation alone had Gameboy Advance, Gameboy Advance SP and Gameboy Micro, all the same in different sizes. They sure like rebranding the same device, but again it sells so who can blame them for doing it

Anyway, I initially didn't read this as being a new DS but rather be a completely standard DS that just have the ability to do games in 3D on it (Kinda like you can make games that utilize the camera on the DSi), but it does kinda read as them going for a new generation.

Cool stuff, nice to see Naughty Dog having that many sessions . I was actually supposed to go to GDC this year but I sadly had to turn it down. But at least I'll be going to E3 this year~~

Edit: Guess it's limited to just the slide shows for the majority of em, unless you purchase the rights to view em or however it is it works

Yeah, we definitely need more DS SKUs :roll:

Oh well, it'll sell like crazy so who can blame them

I can see how that deserves an award for gameplay, they tried a lot of stuff in the game and succeed with most of it.

Like people said though, it's got absolutely nothing on Uncharted 2 for overall game of the year.

New Art Director

Quote from deceiver

Is the video camera feel in-game as well? Or is that something that's been done in post-production on the video and something you guys still intend to implement?

The shaky cam is definitely in-game, but it's been done with a lot of thought so it never gets in the way of the shooting or general orientation.

Oh and on a related note, then I figure you guys already saw this bit of surprising casting http://kotaku.com/5497007/jamie-foxx-jo ... ynch-flick

Finished it earlier today. Great game, just wish there had been more Titan fights. Can't overdo those!

Also the actual ending was slightly weak for me.

Anyway, now I kinda wanna go back and play GOW1+2 again

Played the demo, was alright. I'm kinda burned out on the Splinter Cell games to be honest, and although I can see they're really trying to spice it up and I can appreciate the position of making a 5th game in a series, then it doesn't change the fact that Sam Fisher is just dull as hell, at least to me.

Reason I'm gonna pick this one up is the co-op, looks like it could very well be worth the price of admission. Still wish the old school SC versus MP was there, had some pretty good fun with that in Double Agent.

All of it is ingame. Obviously there's some flying around with the camera for cool shots and some of it is cut scenes, but its all ingame.

Again, I just love how amped up DICE are at the moment, totally gunning for IW's neck. Some good competition. I salute that, even if they have no chance of toppling the giant

Hehe, I'm happy that you're excited about it. Hopefully the multiplayer stuff that's going to get rolled out soon will excite you even further (Since that's what I worked on )

New video!

Actually that was the short version of the trailer, here's the slightly longer one

Quote from Erratic

Mapping the QTE's 1:1 with the controller layout on screen is greatest game design achievement in recent years.

Agreed. Can't believe they're the first to do that, seems so obvious when you think about it. Now you can actually focus on whats going on, while interacting.

New trailer (How do you get this thing to default on 720p?)

+ Release date: August 24th in the US, August 27th in Europe

Played it for about 3 hours yesterday, super tight game on all fronts. I knew it was coming, but I still loved the way they explained Kratos losing all his abilities/stats. For a minute I thought they were gonna try and keep him beefed up from the beginning and just ramp up on that throughout. It's still all good though

Haha sweet. I remember seeing something like this a while ago, but they weren't quite as good as these (Both originals and the interpretations).

Aye, really good so far. More or less exactly like I expected it, I think they set up the characters quite well. I think the lead up to them heading into shore with the landing boats was brilliant, set it up as the Normandy invasion and then have it end as an anti-climax. Also liked the touch with the dude find the picture and doll on a Japanese soldier. Even though they were fucking brutal savages in the war, then they were people with lives too.

Just played the first 30 minutes or so of it. Holy shit it's epic! Just so much going on at an absolutely grand scale at all times, the way the camera flies around makes it feel so huge like nothing I've seen in a game before. Can't wait to get home and start playing it for reals~~

Oh and I renamed the thread

Quote from Furyo

Time for me to update my own position on the list After 4 years, 4 games, 4 studios on 3 continents and 12 million copies sold, I'm now leaving Ubisoft to join the Cry.Core in Frankfurt. I'll train on Crysis 2 and will then be part of the core team of a brand new project as a senior designer.

YAY

Okay, Crytek is now officially the new Gearbox :monocle:

(Oh and gratz!)

Nice! They sent mine today, should have it tomorrow. Exciting!
