That Time Way of the Warrior Divekicked Naughty Dog into Sony's Corner

Way of the Warrior is the reason that you know the name Naughty Dog. We live in a world shaped by the legacy of a cheesy Mortal Kombat knockoff.

Loved that game, White Zombie soundtrack was awesome.

_smashthegamestate_2957d ago

Agreed. It's like the Deadly Premonition of '90s fighting games.

I thought Naughty Dog wasn't for you m8

_smashthegamestate_2957d ago

Different cat. One of my comrades. We're all praying for him. ;)

_smashthegamestate_2957d ago

Downvotes? Deadly Premonition is a masterpiece! Fight me.

I had friends come over every night and we would play until 4 or 5AM - 5 nights a week for months!

The greatest memory I have of my 3DO! It was one of the first games (that I knew of) to use licensed soundtracks and introduced me to White Zombie! I hear that album today and I am instantly transformed back to 1994.

Great times!

_smashthegamestate_2957d ago

When I was a kid, I played it on the sales floor of a store called Incredible Universe. I remember afterwards having to explain to my dad that it was DEFINITELY Mortal Kombat. "I didn't see a sign anywhere for Mortal Kombat." "Dad... It's Mortal Kombat." I was a little punk.

ziggurcat2957d ago

oh, I am. some things should just never be remembered.

_smashthegamestate_2957d ago

Tell me the opening sequence with the talking skull isn't one of the finest moments in video games and I will explain, gently, why you are a liar.

The chink in Naughty Dog's armor.

This game was terrible. I remember this game way back when on the 3DO and wow the MK rip offs where abundant.

Not as bad ass Tattoo Assassins though...

Hmmmm...maybe ND should do a remake of this game!

_smashthegamestate_2957d ago

I disagree. I would say its ND's finest hour. They did what very few bankrupt third party devs have been able to pull off: They made a budget fighting game that turned a profit. And its sound design is ahead of its time.

gangsta_red2957d ago (Edited 2957d ago )

That is great and all but that doesn't mean the game play was actually good. The White Zombi sound track is a plus but the actual gameplay and the fatalities were horrible. I remember seeing a bunch of MK rip offs for that time and very few, if any (in fact none) were able to capture the magic of MK.

Anyone here play Kasumi Ninja? Now that is a game that needs an article!

_smashthegamestate_2957d ago

With you 100 percent on the reboot suggestion.

EA Hiring Ex-Military Personnel to Help Build Next Battlefield Game via "Hiring Our Heroes" Program

EA has hired ex-military personnel in order to help shape the next Battlefield game as part of the Hiring Our Heroes (HOH) program.

OtterX1d 22h ago (Edited 1d 22h ago )

Why don't you Hire Your Old Dev Team who brought us the brilliance of Battlefield Bad Company 2 while you're at it. It was more exciting than anything recent in the Battlefield series. It just needs to be updated to reach modern times, but it was so great at its core.

just_looken1d 20h ago

This would be nice but that team has tossed out the finals and has arc raiders on the back burner

20 thousand still play the final's

Why get slapped around by ea when you already have something going on.

What the next battlefield needs is a step back simple functional not a live service and smaller player servers than 2042. Just make it like battlefiled 3 with bad company destruction just something simple

But they already killed off ridgeline games that had ex halo/cod devs so no singleplayer unless they make another dev team for it.

It's what made zipper and slant six awesome. They had military vets working for them, no just as consultants, but as developers as well. I wish Sony never closed them, MAG 2 or an update to MAG and a new socom is much needed.

just_looken1d 9h ago

Older ps3 battlefield titles did the same even went to the range to get sound files.

But all these titles we are talking about were on the ps3 a console so powerful it offered free mp and games did not need 4 levels of payment plans even more crazy was the player size of mag's games.

A return to the golden age of Battlefield seems so far away now

Str8Chaos741d 4h ago

Sadly I think you are correct. They just don’t get it. They will do their live service game with its Battle Royale and fail at both.I hate being so negative, but I have little faith in EA at this point.
