Welcome one and all, to Everything Gaming, my own personal blog where I'll be talking about things that interest me in the Gaming industry each week. I hope to release a new EG blog every week so keep checking back!
Ps Move vs. Kinect: Yes, I know, so many have brought this up and so many have fought over who the real winner is. However I'm here to tell you there is no definitive winner. That's right, neither Move or Kinect can compete with one another because they are so different. Move focuses on accurate 1:1 hand movements in 3D space and of course, buttons. Kinect on the other hand, simply wants to give you a good time. Look like a retard in front of your friends, hell, with your friends! Kinect is all about straight up, simple fun and it shows in every one of it's games.
Vanquish, is FUN?: Surprised? No? Well I was when I finally got around to trying the Vanquish demo today. The game handles well and truly succeeds in making you feel like a badass. While sliding around in cool poses you can slow down time by shooting your gun at enemies. Plus, it actually works! I was incredibly surprised when I was able to easily move around the environment with ease even while going at high speeds. If you haven't checked out the game yet check it out now!
Holograms: So, holograms have been around for a while but I only recently started to imagine their capabilities as far as gaming goes. Just think, a console the size of your hand, no TV required, it simply creates the picture wherever you are. There is true potential in holograms, though they still have a ways to go.
Well thanks for reading! This is what has me interested in the gaming world this week, and I'm sure there will be even more next week! To finish things off, I'd like to ask: Did you like the vanquish demo? Also, send me a message telling me what you think the question should be next week, and leave a comment telling me what topics you'd like to see me cover in the future!
Sons of Valhalla is an exceptional 2D side-scroller action game that challenges players' strategic approach and skills management.
The armadillo returns.
I personally do remember Infogrames in the years prior to merger. They really did have a portfolio that stuck out and I enjoyed. I wonder what value they see in reviving it now though?
Sony is apparently experimenting with an AI tool that will play the game for you when you are grinding away. A PlayStation patent for “auto-play” mode would simulate your gameplay style in certain environments and apply them to skip that section completely. This technology would likely be built directly into the cloud-based PlayStation Network and be a new feature that subscribers would have access to.
Hah! Either will never happen or publishers will charge you to use this AI. This concept would only exacerbate the problem we already have with GaaS.
doesnt that concept already exist tho?
buy dlc to get a ahead in games? money, weapon and exp dlc come to mind but yeh. one more thing for them.to potentially charge for.
Usually, for GaaS/Seasonal games, you'll have to perform actions to earn specific in-game currency to buy things for events. Then they sell the currency with real cash or a third-currency to then buy the in-game currency items (it's honestly truly bloated to hide that they're cheating you out of money). With this, they'll just give you items if you do something 50 times or the like and then charge you to have the game play it for you. It's better, right? No currency shenanigans, just play the game and we reward you! But, the truth is they'll inflate the amount of times you have to play through content just to get the same thing.
Why?
Why not just remove the Grindy part?
I hope it's not an excuse to make them worse, but optional if you pay
This IGN blogger mode will allow 'reviewers' to play games like rest of us.
I will never forget watching GamingBolts spoiler video for Horizon FW and realizing they never played it. Made me wonder if they play games at all.
Reminds me of those 24 hours races in gran Turismo 4 having your PlayStation play for you.
But realistically if you have to use any of these for Grundy games there's a bigger underlying problem of the game not respecting your time in the first place.
Grind for game length is a real problem in my view
Great read. Thanks a lot :).
Keep it up. Good read!
