SANTA MONICA, Calif., Nov. 25 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- At last, a true next-generation paintball experience is unleashed! Activision Publishing, Inc. (NASDAQ:ATVI) announced today that the official NPPL (National Professional Paintball League) Championship Paintball 2009 videogame is available now for the Xbox 360(R) video game and entertainment system from Microsoft, PLAYSTATION(R)3 and PlayStation(R)2 computer entertainment systems, and Nintendo Wii(TM).
From the mid-1980s to the early part of the 2000s, light gun rail shooters were a staple in both arcade and home system gaming. Arguably, the genre started to really hit its stride in the mid-1990s. While games like Time Crisis, Virtual Cop, and House of the Dead, among others, dominated both the home system and arcade space, some one relegated to only home game systems. Today, we’ll be talking about a little-known cult game published by Sony called Project: Horned Owl. This game was developed by Alfa Systems, and all in all, this is a fun game.
Just like you don’t ask a woman her age, you don’t ask a Final Fantasy fan how many games there are in total.
I don't quiet get who it's directed at. General player? Sure, I can believe them not knowing some of the less popular final fantasy games. But final fantasy FANS? There is nothing forgotten about these games.
Keiichiro Toyama—the creator and original director of the 1999 Silent Hill—shared his personal thoughts on the recently announced remake by Konami, reflecting on what the project means to him after more than two decades:
“I felt something similar when the game was adapted into a movie. It deeply moved me to see the names of the characters and locations I had created come to life visually, even though I wasn’t directly involved. That wouldn’t have been possible without the continued support of the fans and the dedication of the developers who’ve kept the series alive.
I’m really looking forward to seeing how the remake evolves this time. With the advanced technology we now have, I’m sure I’ll be surprised by how the game is reimagined. Since the original was built for the first PlayStation, there will naturally be challenges—like the camera and controls—but I’m eager to see bold and creative solutions to those elements.”
Haha Not only is bold and creatively not what the industry wants, it’s not what most people want.
They want to get scammed and pay twice for a thing they already own.
I’m sure many would want bold and creative done well, but that’s easier said than done. I like variety so give me a little bit of everything, done well of course.
Was the SH2 remake even bold? Or was it more or less just a 1 to 1 over the shoulder remake?
it was not. it greatly expanded the areas and puzzles to the point where it felt like an entirely new game. the enemies and boss fights were given a MASSIVE upgrade. the abstract daddy fight in particular was incredible. and the team added two new endings.
Nerf should make a game again, Nerf Arena was pretty good fun.
Not to mention, it was colourful and well...Nerf.
I might just wait for Killzone 3, when the Helghast run out of bullets and have to resort to water pistols...
I mean, other sports games, i understand. not everyone can get a team together on the fly and start a game. Same goes with this one, true, but i mean, is there really a point to it? Holding a controller doesn't equate to holding a paintball gun (give or take if they add a special paintball gun controller), and how many FPS games are there out now and coming out? I usually don't watch sports because I'd rather be playing them myself. And the whole part of playing a videogame is to do something in it that you don't have the opportunity to do in real life. But Paintball is something that isn't that hard to do in real life (depending on where u live) and is actually derived from something you can't do normally already. Paintball is basically a gun battle where people don't actually get wounded or die (you know what i'm talking about). We play FPS games to do the same thing, albeit in a different fashion. I really don't see how people would play this over (insert badass FPS that has came out recently or will be soon here). I mean, yeah, might be cool, but its still a Paintball videogame. Even more so than any other sport game, i think anyone would rather go play paintball than play a video game of it, IMO.
Does anyone get that? I just hear Paintball videogame and i'm like, Why?
My concern is that it looks like sh1t. Fair enough about making a non bloody paintball FPS but at least make it look cool otherwise you just sell the fans of the sport short-it has to visually compare to what else is available or it will just wither and die. I also think that they haven't discounted the price enough to make up for the apparent graphical shortcomings-unless that was a screenshot from the PS2 version.
