I hate this yearly update crap. It shouldn't be the end of developers just because they don't want to adhere to it. I preferred it when they took their time and produced quality titles. I think this whole situation brings up another argument of whether mainstream culture embracing gaming has been a benefit or hindrance? If you think about the 80's and 90's, the market was so small games HAD to be good to be successful. There was no real room for failure, cheap ports, add ons. Now the market is so insanely huge you can churn out shit after shit and even if only 20% buy it that's still enough. Just look at Ubisoft over the past few years. This is a developer that actually did have quality titles and ideas but has descended into crap, because they can. It's too much about making a game that can sell rather than a game that the developers truly want to make. In a bizarre way this recession may be a good thing. I think this year has shown that no game and no developer is safe from failure and in a time like this developers can't shrug it off so easily. Perhaps this will bring them back down to earth and the fear of crap sales will force them inject a little more soul and passion into the development again...

Thing is I may have at least bought it if it were on 360. Just to judge for myself as Second Sight was apparently shit but I enjoyed it. I wonder how much money they got for keeping it exclusive.
-
So it turns out they're in Administration and have been whittled down to a skeleton crew. Good news is TS4 is still going to continue then. I'm hoping the reason it didn't get picked up by publishers was that it was in its early stages, not because it looked shit...
-
They should have just stuck TS2 and 3 onto XBLA. That would've solved their problems.
-
I guess everyone can cross off Timesplitters 4 off of their list if the news is true.

The Terminator films are classic, apart from that 3rd spin off one which wasn't technically part of the official storyline because it wasn't Jim Cameron. Just some loser who should be fired from writing. Don't let Fierce_Link hear you say that about Alien 3, it's his favourite film. I agree about Hicks and Newt, that's just terrible storytelling. They spent the WHOLE of Aliens trying to frigging survive the ordeal and eventually they do. What happens? They're killed in the cheapest of ways at the start of the next one. The argument that it makes Ripley more isolated and grief stricken is bollocks. There are other ways that could have been done, it's just lazy storytelling.
-
Ah excellent. I didn't know that thanks.
-
I'm really not liking the Japan campaign mainly because I don't like the units. Do they have any friggen anti air defences??
-
Oh right, can't say i've noticed any of that business going on. I do only play with friends though.
-
Not sure what you mean by 'hacking'? I've noticed I get owned a lot in versus as the opposite team seem to have no respawn time what so ever. Though I don't play VS much. The game is awesome just with 4 people going through campaigning it up. Just don't plan to get achievements because it never happens.
-
The achievements are so fucked in this game. The amount of times it's refused to give them for one reason or another is ridiculous. Today we discovered you don't get any playing through on Easy, despite it not being easy at all (A tank a level? nice). I've also played through with just pistols and I didn't get anything, that was on Normal mode. So apparently even if you pick up another weapon you don't get it. Yeh thanks.
-
Awesome. Owned.
-
LMFAO!!! I don't know why I find Eggfaces' first song hilarious. Not in a good way.

Something weird happened earlier. We've played the first campaign to death and had got to the finale loads of times but something would always happen. So we decided sod it, start a new game and just do the finale. We did it and my mate got the 'Hide from the witch' and 'Completed No Mercy' achievements (I'd already got both). I don't get this considering we'd only done the finale itself, we didn't go through the entire campaign although we had done before.
-
Does anyone know if you have to do the entire campaign from start to finish to get the achievement. Say for example you get kicked just before the end, like my mate did, will it register he's done levels 1-4 and only has to do the last?
-
Awesome episode and I kinda saw it coming after Self left them. Just seemed too perfect. As much as I like the series they're dragging out Micheal missing his surgery too much. Get it bloody done!!
-
Just got the 'Jump shot' achievement and I wasn't even trying (Headshotting a hunter in midair). Similarly my mate tried to get the headshot the witch achievement. He went up to her with a sniper rifle and shot her in the face and didn't get it. I think the reason for that is she has to be startled and then shot in the face. Who knows. This game is awesome though. You always get one friend who is just too cautious and keeps backtracking to explore ending up in death for all.
-
Yeh definitely get a replacement. That disc seems buggered.
-
Looks like it might be the CD, but i'd check with someone with more technical know how.
-
So have the losties gone back in time or into the future? It would seem by those flashes they've come back to the war between the others and Dharma. That'd be an interesting story to tell and also potentially future changing. I'm really looking forward to the next season I don't care if people have lost interest. I'm in it until the end.
-
Personally the PS3 doesn't appeal to me at all. Anything I want I can get on 360. As for Wii, well i've given up on that completely. It's just aiming at an audience i'm not a part of. As far as I can tell nothing has changed.
-
So many shows are ruined because of 'ratings'. I'd never have thought Prison Break would have suffered though. If all of USA isn't watching it, it gets ditched.
-
It's scenarios like this which make the game. I must admit i've come under several situations where i've made the self sacrifice for my team mates. Then you get people insisting on their team coming back for them when it's futile. They get left behind anyway unless it's just outside the safe room.
-
Thing is it doesn't even matter there's 4 chapters. The amount of times you can replay one level let alone 20. Tried the Versus mode today for a few hours, my god is that fun. 4 of us against 4 infected. I'm so shit at being anything other than a Boomer I need some practice. The other team kicked our ass though, they were too good. On the one hand it's harder than Expert because the infected are people not AI, however people make mistakes and we'd often find infected quickly hiding behind corners thinking we hadn't seen them only to get flushed out. Pretty hilarious.
-
Been playing this for about 6 hours with 4 friends. It is so addictive and insane. First we started it out on Expert. We couldn't even get past the 2nd level of the first chapter so we scaled it down to Advanced. We got to the 3rd level and still couldn't do it. So we scaled it down again to friggen NORMAL and it took us about 15 attempts to do the end level of the FIRST chapter. It really gets your heart racing lol
