Brothers: A Tale of Two Mediums

Samuel Woodruff of RealGamerNewz writes, "The thing that stands out most to me is the cinematic quality that the game's creative director, Josef Fares, instills in the game. It's no wonder, since, as he states in the video, Fares started out in film. However, the "cinematic" quality of a game, that is to say, the aesthetic quality of Cinema, can be found in nearly every big title released over the past two generations of consoles. Game-makers have long striven to create "cinematic" games, more and more by increasing the graphical detail and by shifting the plotting to hit particular beats standardized by films.

I don’t think so but here it is. I did enjoy it originally I wonder what they changed.

No, and the new graphics are sad. Should've at least kept the original painterly style and just make it with better shaders, effects, lighting, etc.

Never played it, so I'll be picking this up.

If its a Sony game you know it's getting a remake... asap

I know man I'm just throwing out static

FinalFantasyFanatic64d ago

I thought this only came out on Xbox and PC at that time.

QuantumMechanic64d ago

I played and finished it on Xbox One.

jznrpg64d ago

It came out generation before though

QuantumMechanic61d ago (Edited 61d ago )

Yes, but years later it was re-released in one of those bargain hybrid 360/One cases.

BrainSyphoned64d ago (Edited 64d ago )

It was a one month Xbox 360 exclusive during the 2013 Summer of Arcade.
