Jackson from DC writes: I’m not into motorbikes. I see them as way too dangerous; a wheels-and-gears love letter to death. Yet, that one scene from Top Gun where pre-crazy Tom Cruise is ahem *cruising* around, aviators beaming sunlight off his eyes, on his Kawasaki GPZ 900r is my favourite part of a film based around jet fighter stunt-flying. It also helps that Highway to the Danger Zone is a bad ass backing track. That scene almost makes me want to ride a motorbike. Then I play Trials Evolution, and I realise how bad of an idea that is. The game is so brilliant and so punishingly difficult, that it helps me understand I’m really not built for two wheels. How does the recently-released Riders of Doom DLC stack up though? Does it give me a glimmer of hope that I can one day be as cool as pre-couch-jumping Tom Cruise? No – it doesn’t – but that’s a really good thing.
Alone in the Dark developer Pieces Interactive has been hit with layoffs a month after its release, as per the latest information.
That genuinely, genuinely sucks. The reboot has clear flaws, but it really felt like a solid first step for this team to receive *greater* investment.
Shenmue: Reclaiming the Path is a fan game using Dreamcast-era visuals, and tells a new story within the Shenmue saga taking place in both Hong Kong and Guilin. Its expected to release on September 16th.
Something about recreating old school graphics in an era of HD high poly photo realism just hits a spot. I'm not nostalgic cause I mostly played GameCube and GB/A, but it's a visual style that gets over looked even by indies.
Definitely a fan project. Terrible hand animations. Some characters have very bad body proportions. Some look like little kids in adult bodies. Some have short arms, small head, big hips and so on.
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).
