Cruncharcades's Peter Suciu Says:
When this round in the video game console wars first began at the 2005 Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3) in Los Angeles, this reporter's reaction was that one company was arrogant (Sony), one company was desperate (Microsoft) and one company was clueless (Nintendo). Fast-forward to today, and all three of the hardware manufacturers are looking a wee bit foolish. Each has a chance to win this thing – possibly for good – but all they can do is make mistakes and missteps.
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."
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).
so the -Wii should keep it simple
-PS3 should show off some big games and be like Wii and also not say to much
-360 should make hdd standard
...least that's what I got out of it
gamers have became their worst enemies.
Good read drtysouf. I must say I was a little surprised by the quality of writing and deft indifference from crunchgear on this one.
There's a lot more to the current console race than a few key titles...
If the Wii keeps it overly simple, they're going to quickly slide right back into where the GameCube was. The 'casual' market they're courting is finicky and unpredictable, how will they be able to market blockbuster games to people who don't really care (look at the sales of Twilight Princess).
Sony just needs to stop screwing up on every single front. They've also gotta get some serious exclusives. Honestly, they've priced their console so damned high that I'm not sure why they'd bother going after the casual market at all... seems like a lost cause until the price drops.
Microsoft has to steal Sony's thunder and expand beyond the hardcore online market (why not some more online co-op games eh?). Umm, and there's more to MS's line up than Halo. That was a pretty ridiculous comment considering that MS has more exclusives announced for their console than the other two.
I'm sure this person will be hired by Sony, MS or Nintendo anytime now... NOT.
