Siliconera: "We’re here to be pioneers. We’re here to take risks. We’re here to try new things," director David Cage exclaimed when he introduced Beyond in a behind closed doors presentation. Beyond follows Jodie who is tied to an invisible companion named Aiden from when she’s a child to her life as an adult. Players will see how Jodie, portrayed by Ellen Page, learns to live with Aiden throughout her life.
Geist was a GameCube exclusive released back in 2005. The game had a middling reception, but a solid and unique concept.
For this week's Bring it Back, GotGame takes a look back at the 2005 GameCube title Geist, finding the potential in a remake of the ghostly first-person adventure title.
"Many video games catch not only great commercial attention but remarkable critical attention as well. We have seen games like Heavy Rain, The Last of Us Part II, and even entries in the Metal Gear series described as fantastic interactive experiences, even heralded in the same way as Hollywood's greatest films.
I would suggest that not only is this an unfair comparison but also a harmful one. Video games, by their very nature, are an intricately different medium and should be weighed against one another rather than another form of media," Phillip writes for GF365.
I think Hollywood films will becoming increasingly more like video games in the future, especially as the world embraces the "new normal" from the pandemic. It makes sense, as games like Spider-Man: Miles Morales showcase just how realistically we're reaching in graphical capabilities, as well as showcase extreme action sequences in spectacular ways. And as time goes by, it'll get easier and cheaper to produce such "art", as well as create new star "actors" that never age, never die, never complain, never gets involved in scandals, etc. Technology is amazing and we're only just getting a taste of what it'll eventually be.
No. For the money spent, a quality game provides far more entertainment value than a quality movie. Especially when looking at what is going on in the world, and how a studio can attempt to pilfer from consumers by charging 30 dollars for Mulan via streaming. Ridiculous. There is no comparison....games all day.
So quick time events and FPS? I knew there was a reason this one did nothing for me when shown at E3. It looks nice but I have doubts about the gameplay.
I wasn't a huge fan of Heavy Rain. It was certainly entertaining, but I didn't find many of the components that impressive.
The gameplay, I understood where they were going with it. However I expected with QTE's that the other components of the game would shine with more focus.
Graphics, while they looked nice I wasn't impressed. Considering how much control of the gameplay they took away and how on rails it was I expected much better graphics. I found many of the animations to be clunky as well.
Performances were really hit and miss for me. Some of the voice acting was top notch, while others were cringe worthy. (Jason!.....Jaaaaason!!)
Story, while decent enough to keep me entertained I did not find this story impressive at all. I found myself constantly wondering why characters were doing what they were. Seriously, what 12 year old kid chases a balloon into the street? Many of the moments felt forced in order to achieve some plot line.
I don't hate the game. I played through it once, was entertained, but it didn't leave a lasting impression what so ever for me. Just wasn't for me I guess. I hope this one is different.
