Second week on the blog – and what a week it's been!
Here at Criterion, it was great to get the news that the Codename: Cagney update for Burnout Paradise has passed through submission at Sony Europe. That's a great place to be in. Next step – get the "okay" in the USA and we'll be sure to be hitting our deadline of 10th July for this awesome FREE pack of game-changing content.
Also, the third episode of our video podcast, CRASH TV is blowing the roof off the iTunes charts with its combination of exclusive footage, news, and details of upcoming PlayStation-specific features.
And talking of upcoming PlayStation-specific features, we'd like to confirm here that Criterion WILL be supporting PlayStation Trophies in a future update of Burnout Paradise. It won't be the Codename: Cagney update, but Trophies will be coming to Paradise soon.
Gary Green said: We have a juxtaposition of 2D and 3D visuals, flashy turn-based combat, quirky anime characters with cheeky dialogue with plenty of partial nudity; Yes, this is a Compile Heart JRPG. Whilst the engine is borrowed from Hyperdimension Neptunia mk2, Mugen Souls is more of a Disgaea spin-off. It’s not a strategy RPG as such, it merely sits within Disgaea’s ever-expanding universe (Multiverse? Netherverse? Your guess is as good as mine). You won’t find cameos though, since Mugen Souls is a franchise which aims to stand on its own two feet.
Huzaifa from eXputer: "2008 was home to the likes of Call of Duty: World at War, Dead Space, GTA 4, Far Cry 2, Left 4 Dead, and many other hits, which is outright remarkable."
Just about every year in the 7th generation was great and something we most likely won't experience again.
2009 for example had Assassin's Creed 2, Batman: Arkham Asylum, Dragon Age: Origins, Uncharted 2, Halo 3: ODST, Killzone 2, Borderlands, Bayonetta, and Demon's Souls to name a few.
While the mainstream media always sees things turning in favor of the hero, here are 6 games that own being a bad guy.
Pretty much all of these games listed are based around a morality system you don't have to be bad and you don't have to be good.
It seems to have left out some real amazing games like red dead redemption 1/2,ass effect and true crime la/ny
Armored Core VI?
Ok, I'm really missing something here. Just beat chapter 3 earlier this evening, unlocked A-rank Arena fights. I'm not seeing or sensing any branching paths or morality system and I've done every side mission and arena fight available to me up to that fight.
Is something big coming soon to branch the story?
No mention of Grand Theft Auto? Saints Row (original trilogy), Manhunt? Also The Suffering (depending on the ending you get).
Looking forward to the Trophy Support!
I hope the trophy support comes asap. Its ashame We'll all have to replay our games, but its something that can be dealt with, with some Mountain Dew and a Big Pizza!! WOoOT
Custom soundtracks, motorcycles, and now trophy support?
Damn . . . as much as I hate EA, Criterion seems to REALLY want my money, and will do anything to please me so that they can get my money.
And it's going to work.
Congratulations, Criterion Games; you single-handedly ended my 5 year EA boycott . . . but I'm only buying games YOU make.
I'm happy Developers are jumping on board with the trophies next should be Rockstar (GTAIV)lets go.
I've been tracking the list of all games (1st and 3rd party) with Trophy Support: http://boardsus.playstation...
