Tribune writes: "This decade has been infested with first person shooters. There is a reason why developers all around the world are choosing the genre, it comes down to simplicity. Ever since the days of Halo and even before than, shooters have never really had depth as a genre. Halo happened to re-define the controls on the consoles making the genre a lot more accessible and easy to learn."
They don't make games like this anymore.
Too dated in my book. The AI is way too unpredictable to be acceptable today. It's definitely a game of its time.
I had a good time with the game. It is a product of its time. But when it came out it was a must have game for a lot of people. I wish Ubisoft would make another game in the series or at least a reboot.
Due to the lack of modern stealth games, and me constantly playing the MGS series, I've been looking for alternative stealth games to play, and went back and re-played the SC series recently. I wouldn't call SC1 or SC:PT masterpieces, there are AI issues, they're very much trial-and-error games, and that can lead to a lot of frustration. I also found the stories in this series to be boring, uninteresting, and just sloppily told. Cinematics are also of poor quality for both in-game scenes and CG cut-scenes, the soundtrack didn't leave any impression on me either.
Chaos Theory is better, but there was still a lot of room for improvement, and Double Agent (old gen ver.) was a sloppy mess that ended up a regression from CT. But still, at least they tried back then, these days Ubi-junk doesn't even try to make good games!
Skewed and Reviewed have written an Opinion Piece covering issues in the gaming industry, how current issues were issues years ago, and what can be done to help restore consumer trust.
Nothing. It's up to the gamers to stop consuming content from companies that they don't agree with.
Marie Dealessandri speaks to Borislav Slavov and Gustavo Santaolalla about “the new golden age of games music”.
It probably won't fail in terms of a sales perspective. Black Ops has still been hitting the top ten NPD charts.
I wasn't sure what to think when I read the title, but the points presented in the article actually make a lot of sense. No matter what some people say, it's true that the series is hugely popular with tons of people. Many gamers play it and so too do many not-really-gamer people for its simplicity.
I think it'll definitely keep going strong unless somehow on day people don't like FPS games anymore. But when would that be?
I'm actually anxious to see the sales comparison myself. Honestly, I'm pulling for MW3.
It doesn't matter what they put out, people will buy it. I know I will
because like good, gamers are dumb.
