Excels posted:insomniac is good at video games I feel sorry for them. The other two big Sony platformer guys from that era are still doing gangbusters but Resistance and Fuse were non-entities even when they were new and Sunset Overdrive was released on a dying console so if there actually is a good game under all that embarrassing XTREEM 90s dayglo memery nobody's going to actually find out until the inevitable PC port.

i have faith in the new ratchet & clank movie, and the tie-in game will be good as well, because even the worst ratchet game is still pretty good.

They phoned in the ending sequence for Sunset Overdrive and made something that sounds very fun into the most boring boss fight possible. If they announced a new ending to be added to the bone version when the pc port is released it might be worth picking up if you ever had any interest in it. Edit: a bad ending sequence in an open world game might not sound like a dealbreaker but consider that a lot of people may just go to the end of the within about twelve hours (an upper estimate, first time players could easily get there in ten hours without walkthroughs). 1/10th of their playtime will be the ending sequence. Its first half is more than an hour long for most people because it was probably designed as padding rather than a challenge. Then, the second half starts and you end up having some fun for a moment. Than you realise that the ending is just repeating the same series of movements and dodges about seven times. The final boss fight is just repeating the same poo poo, with little variation, significantly more times than the rule of threes should permit. And then... the obligatory sequel stinger. gently caress Sunset Overdrive. RoanHorse fucked around with this message at 02:55 on May 15, 2015 |

Insomniac are constant victims of executive meddling, especially on new IPs. Fuse was going to be good originally, then it got meddle'd same with sunset overdrive microsoft designs games to directly compete with rival bestsellers, like "we'll do that idea but BETTER than they did it"

As for gameplay I think it's mostly the same with a couple of new powers and abilities tacked on. If you liked the first one you'll probably enjoy it, doubly so if you can get it on sale.

Wow. I can't imagine thinking it was a good idea to tell this story to a reporter. I imagine a lot of business meetings regarding games are pretty much the same. "These kids love the world of warcraft! We're down with the Tolkein roots!" or a bunch of perma-death procedurally generated buzzwords. All at least 2 years past being played out. The guys at Giant Bomb talk about this every once in a while; I guess there are mobile gaming conferences that aren't open to the public... because it's just a bunch of people talking about taking advantage of consumers, blatantly. e: I wonder if anyone ever leaked audio of people discussing lovely free to play pricing schemes...

Play Prototype two if you want a weird bio-hazard-human-weapon open world game. You can completely skip the first one. If you played the first one and you liked it, do you want a better version of that game? A 1.5 with new and better gameplay challenges that weren't in the first one? Are you willing to accept only gaining a handful of new abilities and moves (and better functioning and more interesting versions of previous abilities) instead of the sort of inclusions to a game's systems one might expect from a more proper installment in a series? Prototype 2 is somewhere between Crackdown and Mass Effect as far as installment priorities and accomplishments go. Maps and assets are quite visibly reused, but the gameplay greatly benefits because more time was spent tuning the mechanics and systems of the game.

Sunset Overdrive was them going nuts and making their dream game now that they were no longer under the yoke of a single corporate master rather than any sort of nefarious outside interference from Microsoft.

Anything it does even remotely well is improved upon in ME2, with the possible exception of those ridiculous high-powered explosive rounds that overheat your gun in a single shot. RoanHorse posted:Play Prototype two if you want a weird bio-hazard-human-weapon open world game. You can completely skip the first one. I was actually a pretty big fan of the first one when it came out. I spent a lot of time jumping off of very high buildings and trying to see how long I could protect a single civilian in the big fuckoff crisis areas. My biggest problems were that everything but the blade power was totally useless in the end and the story took itself really seriously for being insane stupid garbage. It's certainly tempting, though Saints Row IV almost gets you halfway there as it is...

The problem with Mass Effect 1 was that part of its charm was being pretty. But the art styles Bioware use do not age well. So ME looks like rear end, plays like a 3rd person shooter of its time, and has the good/hilarious/awful/embarrassing writing Bioware is known for. The Mako sections are legitimately better than every side mission in ME2 though, and even plenty of the main quests. Anyone who disliked the Mako can gtfo.

Mass Effect 1 is really good for playing a space wizard and shooting people off the edge of the map or bouncing them around the room with gravity powers, it's a shame all their CC bullshit got nerfed for game balance in the sequels

Today I remembered a game that might or might not have existed that I played when I was younger. I have vague memories of it, and would like to know if I dreamed it up or if it really exists. It was a tile-based, possilbly 4x game with a vaguely mystical sci-fi aestetic. Each player would build his own base on his floating island, which could be destroyed one tile at a time. I remember two units specifically: one was a one tile building that would spawn these pear-shaped helycopters made of what looked like glass that would fly right on top of enemy buildings and bombard them. The other one was an hard counter to the first: some sort of circular, squat building, with a sling built in the center. The sling would rotate a bunch, take up speed and release a bullet (disc- shaped, maybe?) that would shatter the pearcopters. Now that I typed it out it seems even weirder than when I first thought of it. Has anyone heard of this one?
