Despite the fact that this video portrays fanboy-ism at its finest, I can’t help but somewhat empathize with this disgruntled uber geek. Sony needs to hold on to some of its exclusives. For real.
Microsoft is stepping up their game (no pun intended) yet again with the New Xbox Experience which will add some features their competition is already offering (or has promised to offer over a year ago). So where is Home anyways?
The way I see the FPS market is that there are only three franchises worth that $60 kick in the nuts: Halo, COD and Gears. What sets these titles apart from the rest (ehmmm R6V), is that the controls are totally crisp. If you don’t have this, your game is bound to suck regardless of its genre (i.e. every Marvel and Disney title ever produced). I am however glad to see that Epic is adding a variety of new features that will keep Gears fans rocking this game all throughout the holidays. Although I’m still a tad bit skeptic about the chainsaw battles, the proximity mine-esque grenades, body coverage and wide assortment of new weapons are surely to make Gears 2 a keeper.
Emergence holes that can take out a whole city? I wonder what types of grenades you’ll need to close them up. What I am “digging” Senior Cliffy, are these new single shot weapons that seem to be more accurate than the chainsaw; I could never aim with that piece of crap.
Now the only thing left to wonder is how Epic is going to gel the chainsaw battles into the multiplayer. It seems as though the winner is determined by how fast one can tap the B button. Cool, but any n3wb sporting a third party controller with an auto function will pwn every time. Here’s hoping that they won’t make it into another humdrum Halo-esque sword battle.
The verdict: Star Wars just makes everything that much sweeter. I’m in quite a dilemma having both 360 and the PS3. The problem starts when I’m forced to decide between the notorious gamerscore perk versus an enticing tandem of playing as Darth Vader, all the while being able to control my character with a fully responsive D-Pad. Decisions, decisions…
I’m starting to feel a bit iffy about this game. From what I gather from the footage, Street Fighter IV may wind up being nothing more than a poor man’s Street Fighter EX
Notorious toolbag CliffB has announced the second installment of the Gears of War franchise with a November 08′ release date at the GDC. Timeshift, Call of Jaurez, Medal of Honor…wait, a History Channel shooter?
Thank goodness for COD4 (or as I like to refer to it: electronic crack). Here’s to COD not losing it’s pizzaz until November. And who knows, they might even release COD7 by then. (Not that I’m complaining)
I came across this video fortuitously on youtube earlier today and simply had to share. George Lucas doesn’t fuck around, and as you all may well know, neither does Lucasarts. Seamlessly merging three simulation technologies screams out game of the year candidate. Oh, and by summer 2008, I’m sure they really mean Fall 2010.
This is the time I wish I had paid attention in Japanese…translation anyone?
It looks like they’re keeping the old game modes: (baseball / target practice). They should really add some other newrigional, (just made up a word), modes.
Quit pushing the date back dammit! By march we’ll be ass deep in homework.
