General Gaming / RE: Resident Evil 5 - PS3 and Xbox 360 - First Screens

« on: July 20, 2005, 06:58:03 AM »

There's nothing wrong with taking on a similar gameplay.  It has been the same from the first RE game made to RE Zero.  Their new engine is still new so why improve upon that?  It isn't milking.  If it was milking then Zelda and Mario are serious milking.

Nintendo Gaming / RE: Next-Gen On-Line emulation takes a 360...

« on: July 20, 2005, 06:50:47 AM »

I think the strong Square-Enix support is a better deal with games such as Chrono Trigger possibly appearing.  Sega isn't owned by MS so we can get Nights.  That is if Sega is willing.  The Rev controller can't be too weird.  That depends on the person.  Well too bad too many people have to take on other opinions.  It is supposed to be made to play NES, SNES, and N64 games.  Although I would accept a seperate controller for that.

LoL, as opposed to Bioware games where you click once and the game plays itself

Exactly how does introducing young kids, aged 6-9 let's say as I have seen kids around this age speak highly of GTA, to extremely violent games make life safer for them?

Yes, violence is real, and there are probably a ton of violent films which young kids might be able to watch to learn the horrors of it. But GTA? There are really no ramifications for the actions done in that game, how is that healthy for someone so young? Good parenting can overcome this, easily, but to say something to the effect that all kids, for their own sake, should be exposed to these violent games as soon as possible is moronic.

Did I say it was introducing?  I look at my post and see that you made something up and twisted a real meaning of it.  I prefer if 6-9 year olds knew it was there with knowledge obviously taught by their parents to begin with.  If a child is old enough to ask questions he/she is old enough to learn.  Its better that way then by accident through finding it in a closet or through a friend.  What happens there?  Also what if the child goes all messed up?  Who is to blame?  I'm simply won't waste my time blaming I'll use my time teaching that kid whats right and wrong so when he/she does see it they're more mature about it.

Also this violence is better than sex is just an oppinion and concept that most people have hard pinned on them.  The fact that something is real or not doesn't determine anything.  We just know whats real and what isn't.  Plus when you watch something you're suppose to let it go at the moment because it ruins it.  I'm all against showing porn but when sex shows up on a TV show like lets say Buff The Vampire Slayer or an a child should obviously be supervised but I won't be all evangelical on them saying its the devil.  If they want to watch let them, if they don't then don't let them.

I was talking about them as a company quality.  They were just these people that had the Turok background.  That didn't sound too good.  Now another part of them had Id Software background.  That sounded good.  Right now Nintendo is only concentrating on making sure they have something the mainstream wants if they can't get a company like Rockstar or Sega to make games for them they'll makre sure something similar comes up.

Theres nothing wrong with Rockstar at all.  The public in general has been morons for not understanding.  I personally look at the imagery and name they used as some sort of small test.  In the end I'm going to know if this game is good or not.  Also removing M rated games from toy stores makes life for kids more dangerous.  They can't ignore that stuff forever and when you introduce something so late in their life you got an idiot creation.

Actually Nintendo is pretty good in identifying good 3rd parties from bad 3rd parties.  Just look at all they titles they made jointed with other companies.  Retro used to be 50% bad 3rd party now they're shaped up.  Also we don't know enough for a company to simply just want to work on the Rev.  Maybe a company like Square-Enix knows more than we know in general about hardware and if they didn't they're more confident because they know they can make great games.

EA is popular for the sports games.  Nintendo needs sports games.  Their sports department is pretty poor, Left Field left them, and when it comes to popular Sports licenses EA has got them.  Other than that I don't care for sports games.  Sega can probably make something up its the name and look that affects the media and some Mario sports title is always welcome to me since it doesn't go so realistically.

I'm more in support of Bioware and/or Obsidian Entertainment giving us an RPG.  Diablo 2?  What about Diablo 3?  Diablo 2 sounds lazy.  Fun but you just click 24/7.  Old RTS are an exception though.  New would be better.

I hope other developers push harder to make sports games w/o a popular license.  Mario may be milked but I prefer to play the sports games he is in.

General Gaming / RE: PS3 Estimated at $400

« on: July 10, 2005, 05:11:15 PM »

Seeing as how the trailer made by team ninja at e3 filled up 2 gigs on one xbox 360 disc that $400 might be attractive after all.  I don't know how great their compression but even with 3 times compression its not even close to blu-ray and if you're talking about a trailer then thats a pretty damn short game especially if the the trailer is supposed to be during gameplay.  I'm beginning to think they should have gone with HD-DVD.

There are killer apps.  Its just clear that you prefer the other competitors.  I don't like GTA and FPS have never been the top for me.

I think it would be awesome if Nintendo showed off the Revolution somewhere but at TGS companies will finally let out their secret Revolution games.  That would be badass.

Can you imagine taking three weeks on one character?  Think about it.  What if that also included the crunching time.

In the end if you choose to not buy a Revolution because of the lack of HD its your loss.

As long as they stay true to what they recently said then the only thing I see Revolution needs is more innovation.

Nintendo Gaming / RE: No DS Games from Rare

« on: July 07, 2005, 07:43:14 AM »

I think its more like people just simply prefer a joystick feel or want more control, other than that I just simply have to shift my thumb in the direction the character wants to go.  Its like controling a mouse where you hit the scroll-button and you just push it a little bit up, down, left or right and it just moves.  It the closes thing to mouse and keyboard control.  I complain that up until now mouse and keyboard haven't been the norm for consoles.  They're great for FPS, Meteos, point and click, PC style games, etc

Joystick for FPS or in general moving some cursor = teh suck

Free Radical actually pulled the FPS control pretty good for the GCN control pretty well but its still not mouse and keyboard

I'm actually hoping that free wireless hotspots around the US will be more common.  *hopes gas station, white hen, or wal-greens eventually has one*

« on: July 07, 2005, 07:29:57 AM »

I think in the long run Rare might really show something.  I didn't really see Rare blast off on the NES, and on the SNES you got KI and DKC, and then the N64 is when they finally gunned us down with their games.

Personally other than the shooting games and even few others I don't think there was a Rare games that wasn't strongly influenced by a Nintendo games.  Rare's best bet are their shooting games, but when I look at Xbox 360 you're getting Perfect Dark, Quake, Halo, Ghost Recon, Half-Life, etc  Oh gosh where is the improvement?

Nintendo Gaming / RE:Game Boy Micro

« on: May 18, 2005, 06:55:15 PM »

I'm buying it.  The system was made just like any other company that makes their system smaller.  Nintendo has done it to all their systems except GBC and VB.  I'm not sure about GCN yet.  As for the SP, I think that was just an improvement over the problems of a GBA such as the lighting which you could of got for $30.

Also the Play-Yan was mainly meant to be used with the DS.  Makes sense to me.  Once the GBA is no more you need a system that will still be around and you got the DS.

Nintendo Gaming / RE:Nintendo DS - 90% of users going online?

« on: May 18, 2005, 05:24:45 PM »

People are willing to go online with the DS.  Its free!  They're not just going to search.  So I wait for my sister while shes shopping at the mall.  Bam!  I got online through the Apple store.  I'm on my college break and want to eat.  Bam!  I can eat at Panera Bread which has free wifi.  I'm waiting for my shift to start and people are breaking the rules in my college and using wireless routers.  Bam!  I just have to turn my DS on.

Mario do you ever leave your house?

"Are people willing to go outside and search for a hotspot and play DS online in some public place?"

You have to do something.  Work, school, job, friends, errands, exercise, etc
