Daft Posted May 18, 2009 Share Posted May 18, 2009 I'd like it if a game made it hard to be nice so being nasty was actually tempting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dwarf Posted May 18, 2009 Share Posted May 18, 2009 (edited) Yeah it's not even that major a thing, it's bigged up despite not really changing a whole lot. Immersion isn't achieved through a moral decision, it can't really be a moral decision unless something in real life actually happens. Sure a guy in the game's story might die because you chose to be a cock but that's entirely different to something much more real occuring as a result of your actions. I think the use of it should be canned and they just make it like it was, a one edged story. Because then at least you know where you stand at the end of the game and the character does what the character is. You aren't the guy in Fable, or Cole from infamous. You are yourself. The best way I could sum it up really is that if you are playing a story campaign it should be an account, not 2 or 3 possible theories of what did (or will) happen. The character doesn't have a set personality if you decide what they do. Plus it's not like the choices are subtle. You are either good or bad and the events reflect that with limited cut-scenes. Uncharted would be shit if Nathan wasn't funny. That's who he is and that's why he has more potential to be iconic than Cole.

flameboy Posted May 18, 2009 Share Posted May 18, 2009 I understand what you mean about the one edged story it would make it more funneled and focus and stand more chance of evoking some kind of emotion through one well written story rather than two sides of the coin.

tapedeck Posted May 19, 2009 Share Posted May 19, 2009 Rag Doll Kung Foo is great funzo Loving the challenges. This game NEEDS online fights though. Other than that, I think it's great. The dodgeball and fish collecting games are awesome with 4 players Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kyletherobot Posted May 19, 2009 Share Posted May 19, 2009 Managed to get the Singstore working for anyone who is interested...by changing internet connection. I guess that my terribly slow uni internet cannot handle all of the pop goodness so I'm going to have to get my new song fix everytime I go home.

The dodgeball and fish collecting games are awesome with 4 players I know what you mean about the online thing. Haven't been bothered to play it though, or any other PS3 games for the past couple of days. Seems like too much effort. There was a hilarious quote from the game though. It went something like 'If Mr Lee-wung asks you to dance around in a bowl full of yogurt, you ask what flavour. Before punching him in the face!'

Could have done with a story mode and an online and it would have been perfect. Seen some complaints about a lack of polish but I think it works (and looks) very well. The vibe is like a 70's kung foo movie (and the music is awesome.) It's like Smash Bros Lite. Not complaining for free! Theme....Awesome! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dante Posted May 20, 2009 Share Posted May 20, 2009 (edited) Team ICO :Project Trico This is early test footage from well over a year ago that was shown internally. This is not a trailer that would be shown at E3. This is not an indication that the game will be shown at this year's E3, or even this year's TGS. This is just that test footage. All it confirms is that the game exists (duh!), and that it features a boy and a birdrat colossus that aids him. The Music is from MILLER'S CROSSING, a 1990's Coen Brothers movie. Just a placeholder.

Diageo Posted May 20, 2009 Share Posted May 20, 2009 A lot more work went into the scenery than the boy. I always hear how ICO was an amazing game from everywhere so it's a good sign for this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aimless Posted May 20, 2009 Share Posted May 20, 2009 (edited) Atlus have picked up Demon's Souls for the US. I'm guessing a European release probably won't happen, but at least importing should cost on the right side of £40 now. Edited May 20, 2009 by Aimless Added a link.

flameboy Posted May 20, 2009 Share Posted May 20, 2009 Atlus have picked up Demon's Souls for the US. I'm guessing a European release probably won't happen, but at least importing should cost on the right side of £40 now. Beat me to it; http://playstation.joystiq.com/2009/05/20/demons-souls-getting-us-release-courtesy-of-atlus/ It may be a first-party title in Japan, but Demon's Souls is coming to America courtesy of Atlus. Although it's a PS3-exclusive, this From Software-developed action game offers very old school dungeon-crawling gameplay. This "spiritual successor" to King's Field got a mixed response from Japanese critics: some loved the nostalgic gameplay, while others found the brutal difficulty a bit too oppressive. One of Demon's Souls greatest features is its online connectivity. Players will be able to leave hints for each other, "replay death scenes", cooperatively revive dead players, or invade other player's games to "wreak havoc." Hope your friends aren't jerks. Atlus plans on providing "updates" at E3 later this year, so stay tuned for more. Check out the Japanese trailer after the break. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daft Posted May 20, 2009 Share Posted May 20, 2009 http://kotaku.com/5263230/metal-gear-solid-resident-evil-psone-classics-incoming Metal Gear Solid, Resident Evil PSone Classics Incoming Looks like Sony is serious about adding new "PSone Classics" to the PlayStation Store, as a few original PlayStation heavy hitters appear to be en route. The ESRB has rated five new PSone Classics candidates. That includes PlayStation system sellers Metal Gear Solid and Resident Evil: Director's Cut, both newly rated for release on the PSP and PlayStation 3. Those two blockbusters look to be joined by Spec Ops: Covert Assault, Spec Ops: Ranger Elite and Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six, all seemingly destined for PSone Classics status. Sony has promised that more titles would be added to the library of downloadable PlayStation games "shortly." The company was recently rumored to be planning an onslaught of downloadable classic software titles in tandem with the release of a new PSP model, allegedly dubbed the PSP Go! This will go nicely with FFVII. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dwarf Posted May 20, 2009 Share Posted May 20, 2009 I want to pay for a good Crash Bandicoot game, there's only so many times you can play the first 3 Get Naughtydog to finish Uncharted 2 and take back the franchise. I want another one and there's no doubt people world-wide would rave about the announcement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dwarf Posted May 20, 2009 Share Posted May 20, 2009 Haha. Pretty much! Although saying that there's tonnes of people in my school that know and love Crash. Girls and boys for that matter. Even most teachers know about it as well. I need to stop going on about it, but I feel I need to get the world to know somehow. So I decided posting on a small Nintendo forum would be the best option. And are you suggesting that you don't like it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daft Posted May 20, 2009 Share Posted May 20, 2009 (edited) Not really. I felt I needed a more stable role model...like an unemployed racism plumber that'd spend all his time trying to get laid by a frigid elitist bitch with a lizard fetish.
