Publishers are zeroing in on eradicating the trade-in industry, led by none other than Epic Games, a company with blockbuster games, and a business model which depends on developers being able to afford their middleware. Gameplayer investigates.
"Don't get us wrong, we're not saying that a little greed isn't good - hell we've watched the movie Wall St, and we take many of our moral cues from Gordon Gecko. But when that greed comes at the expense of other, more important things, we're not fans of it at all. Here are four major reasons why these proposed measures are crap, and why killing off trade-ins is going to be bad for Joe Average (i.e. you, me, and the one unfortunate bastard who actually got christened Joseph P. Average)."
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).
CCP Games has unveiled an ambitious roadmap for their sci-fi MMO EVE Online in 2024, headlined by the massive Equinox expansion set to launch on June 11th.
I can see the owners of gamefly drinking there starbucks saying well this could be the end if this gets through now who wants to go fishing on my new yaught after we play 12 holes at agusta ...
Cut the prices of your PS3/360 games by $10 to $20 and trades will not be as big a problem.
'and a week later you casually shuffled down to the games shop (unshaven and in your pajamas) to score an awesome game for dirt cheap.'
Has anyone found a used game dirt cheap a week after release (and lets limit this discussion to games that DON'T SUCK)? At GameStop if a game is $60.00 new, it's $55.00 used. A whopping $5.00 discount. For a $5.00 difference, I'll buy new and support the developers. Maybe 'Down Under' is different with game specialty shops, but I see a lot of hate for GameStop on this site.
I bought a 360 (100.00 on craigslist)used and Gears 2 used
And will sell the game on Amazon today.
All together $170.00+ 64MB memory card!!
Great deal!!
Ill have ended up only spending $130.00 total to play this game!!!
In my opinion MS deserves none of my money as they try to sell 256MB memory cards for $$50 and tiny Hard drives for $100.00 RIP OFF!!!
MS give me something worth buying!!
Id rather have a PS3(which I do)!!!
Seriously Make a game that has longevity and re-playability inovation and I wont sell it used so soon!!!
