Y cant a game just stand on its own and not hav 2 b compared wid other titles

ultimolu5372d ago

Idek.

I swear, this is so stupid to be honest.

Dread5372d ago (Edited 5372d ago )

I agree

this is unnecessary.

It only creates undue pressure and expectations, and gives fuels to the fanboys.

If the game ends up being worse than Gears then people will say its sucks. Even if the game is amazing in its own rights.

similar to what happened to Killzone 1 and Halo 2.

too bad.

anh_duong5372d ago (Edited 5372d ago )

please no.. no more comparisons.. this generation of gaming will be remembered less for people playing game but more for people comparing them..

comparisonitis disease seems to have afflicted the majority of gaming journalists this generation

mastiffchild5372d ago

God! How lazy are these articles getting? We had the two part farce of the ODST/MAG comparison last week and this time round we're comparing another unreleased game though, at least, with one we've played!

There's a palette similarity and the bylky lead looks a bit Gearsy but that's where it, and Yecmo's admitted inspration from Gears ends, imo.

We have NO idea how this plays beyond being aware that both games have a cover susyem and are third person shooters(so why no Kill/Switch or MGS comparisons?). We don't know what mopdes, what the story's like or if there are any real areas where the games overlap.

Can't we just judge QT on it's own merits rather than insisting Tecmo's first ever game in the genre(and one which promises female NPC sidekicks, bladed weapon attacks and more melee fighting than Gears)be more original than the game we're comparing it to? There's also a distinct Art Nouveau flavour to QT's backgrounds not present in Gears and as Gears wears it's influences so very well itself maybe that could end up the biggest similarity when QT is released.

Right this minute, however, we have NOTHING bar screenshots to base our comparison upon so why bother? In the end they aren't even in direct competition as they exist on different latforms and aren't releasing anywhere near one another so the only people needing to choose would be late Gears adopting dual console owners! How many folk with a 360 haven't bught Gears yet-if they like the game anyway?

Pointless, fruitless article-just as bad as the last Halo/MAG one.

saimcheeda5372d ago

lets just play the game why keep pairing it!i was tired of all the prototype vs infamous crap too

KRUSSIDULL5372d ago (Edited 5372d ago )

WTF Webs.com? aka www.freewebs.com lol Im laughing this is just some random person spiting out flame bait to the fanboys please report this.

Xistan5372d ago

that approve this article and still complain...

Why do you approve it then? stop approving crap articles...

Poopface the 2nd5372d ago (Edited 5372d ago )

I remember an article from them which said something like halo 3 only sells because a lack of games on 360. If that was the case it still wouldnt explain the over 9 million sales. This site is fanboy trash, and shouldnt be getting through this "N4G crap filter" that supposedly exists.

Its bad enough to compare games constantly. But comparing a game taht they have never played to gears(which they probably never played either) is stupid and desperate.

Why not just do a preview of the game instead of trying to make it some sort of competition. THE GAME ISNT OUT YET, DONT COMPARE IT WITH ONES THAT ARE> it makes you look like a complete moron.

They even wrote CAPCOM INSTEAD OF EPIC. Shows you how clueless they are about games, and gaming journalism.

MGSR THE HD VERSION5371d ago

if ninja blade was considered a "rip off" of ninja gaiden (in which any case they don't even play like each other)

then i don't see why quantum theory shouldn't be seen as a copy of gears. (at least those two games share the same camera and battle mechanics)

ThanatosDMC5371d ago (Edited 5371d ago )

I bet this game will suck. A copycat is never as good as the original. Just like every game that copied Devil May Cry... they try too hard. Also, it's Tecmo. Shooter game + Tecmo = ???

Five bucks there'll be some ninja moves or a ninja enemy or something ninja on here.

likedamaster5371d ago

...what is up with journalism and the spell checker these days?

"...Epic is MENT to be stated instead of capcom."

Wtf? Fail.

What Quantum Theory needs is co-op. I;d be shocked and disappointed if Tecmo leave it as a solo single player campaign only, especially when the game utilizes two characters working together.

kaveti66165371d ago

I saw in an interview where one of the devs was talking about the two characters working together and the interviewer asked if there was going to be co-op and the developer got all nervous and said the girl was a AI or something.

crs3535372d ago

it looks good iv wanted it ever scence i saw it like a year ago. to bad gears wouldnt come to ps3 to tho. good game

Ju5372d ago

What's so special about Gears? Have to force myself to finish that on the PC and its certainly not enough to convince me to look for the second part. So, what's so special about Gears ? I don't get it. Quantum can only be better. ...

dirthurts5372d ago

I still play it a few times a week (the only multiplayer I play). Big fan of it myself.
Most people like it, but not for everyone.
This game looks fun too. We'll see. : )

HammockGames5372d ago

Personally, I love the shooting mechanics and overall feel of Gears, and I also like the graphics (perhaps not the very best around, but pretty nifty looking nevertheless). I dig it so much I played Gears 1 on both PC and 360 and I'm going through Gears 2 again (lost track of how many times now).

Quantum will have a high standard to live up to as far as measuring up to Gears. I hope it does, but it won't be easy.

Mugen Souls Retro Review – Sexy Demon Space Adventure

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.

Looking Back At 2008, An Unbelievably Incredible Year Of Video Game Releases

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."

CrimsonWing694h ago

I don’t think anything can compare to 2023

lucasnooker4h ago

1998 - the best year in gaming! Metal gear solid, crash bandicoot 3, medievil, half life, ocarina of time, thief, tenchu, resident evil 2, Spyro, tomb raider 3, oddworld abes exodus, banjo kazooie.

It was a different breed of a gaming era. You’ll never understand what it was like back then. The aura of gaming, it was different!

KyRo4h ago(Edited 4h ago)

I second this. Gaming was a lot more varied and fun than it is today. I'm 35 so getting on compared to some here but I got to see all the changes from NES up to now but I've never felt so disappointed in any generation than I have this current gen. I was expecting more from this generation rather than prettier versions of games that came before it. Game mechanics have become so refined that alot of games feel the same and has done for a while now.

Maybe it's time to have a break for a while. I love gaming but I don't feel I get much fun in the traditional sense out of it anymore.

CrimsonWing693h ago(Edited 3h ago)

Metal Gear Solid, Resident Evil 2, Abe’s Exodus, and Ocarina of Time are the only things from that list that I liked.

Here’s the 2023 game releases that I personally liked… and big releases that I didn’t care for:

- Dead Space Remake
- Wo Long Dynatsy
- Resident Evil 4 Remake
- Diablo 4
- Fire Emblem Engage
- Hogwarts Legcay
- Street Fighter 6
- Hi-Fi Rush
- Like a Dragon: Ishin
- Octopath Traveler 2
- Final Fantasy Pixel Remasters
- Final Fanatsy XVI (actually ended up not liking this, but it was still a big deal release)
- Baldur’s Gate 3
- Armored Core VI: Fires of Rubicon
- Lies of P
- Mortal Kombat 1
- Marvel’s Spider-Man 2
- Starfield (Ended up hating this one, but big release)
- Super Mario Bros. Wonder
- Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom (I’m an old-school Zelda fan, but didn’t really enjoy this game)
- Alan Wake 2

I mean, honestly I’ve never seen a year of major IP releases like that, ever.

Profchaos49m ago(Edited 46m ago)

Isn't it just a generational thing realistically.

I've been gaming since way back and I some of my favourite games go as far back as the late 80s for me each generation has a year or two of game changing releases one after another before an inevitable dry spell.

I kind of agree gaming had a different feel games hit different because we didn't have the internet nothing got spoiled and you really had to put in the effort to beat a puzzle which could set entire groups of people looking for a solution. But most importantly games were experimental and not as cookie cutter as today even basics like controls were not universal today r2 is shoot l2 is ads garunteed you can't deviate from that in a shooter back then it could of been square, R1 or R1 and circle nothing was standard.

But as time moves on a new generation picks up their controller they are going to be interested in different things that PS1 demo disc with the t Rex blew our primitive 16 bit brains back on launch but to kids today it's laughable.
The new gen of kids coming into to hobby seem to value different things to us there seems to be a huge focus on online play, streamers, gaming personalities, and social experiences, convience of digital downloads. To me I value none of that but that's ok like my parents not liking the band's I would listen to its just the natural cycle.

6 Fun Games Where You Actually Play As The Bad Guy

While the mainstream media always sees things turning in favor of the hero, here are 6 games that own being a bad guy.

Profchaos10h ago

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

Tacoboto9h ago

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?

banger889h ago

No mention of Grand Theft Auto? Saints Row (original trilogy), Manhunt? Also The Suffering (depending on the ending you get).
