On a trip to the nearest video game distributor (CB Games won't name names, but people often stop to get games there) CB Games found that their eye was caught on the selection of games for the Nintendo Wii. For a moment, CB Games thought that Disney might have bought out Nintendo: the percentage of licensed games was overwhelming compared to the actual number of games available.
Former Naughty Dog dev says Resident Evil 4 inspired Unchartted and even Gears of War, particularly the over-the-shoulder camera view.
It revolutionized third-person shooters, in a genius way that gives you full control of aiming.
No, I mean RE4. Like the whole snap to over-shoulder and precision aiming was what I meant.
I won’t deny Winback does pave the way in some respect. But it’s not the same at all.
I thought this was common knowledge. Resident Evil Revolutionised over the shoulder aiming in 3rd person shooters/action games
Influenced basically every third person action game made after it, GTA uses the over the shoulder perspective when shooting since the 4th installment, Red Dead Redemption 1 & 2 too and the Batman Arkham series has the over the shoulder perspective as the main camera throughout the whole game series.
Obviously there are a ton more examples but you get the point 🗿.
Discover 10 timeless video games from the past that remain absolutely playable today. From Chrono Trigger to DOOM, these classics have aged like fine wine!
Hot damn that's a good list. The only one i never played is AOE2 and i never finshed Chrono Trigger but it was damn good.
Speaking of what's old but holds up amazingly well and plays like a dream.. i played Symphony of the Night for the first time in 2019.. yep that's right. It became one of my favourite games of all time that i replay almost every year. I couldn't believe how good it was. That is almost impossible for me with newer games let alone older ones. Truly a special gem.
The only one I’d disagree with is doom. It shows its age badly I think. After 5 minutes of play these days you put it down.
Includes savings on The Crew: Motorfest, Resident Evil 4, and much more.
Well, its not just licensed games. EA is feeding it with terribly childish and bad games like Boogie and EA Playground and even Nintendo had Zelda so far as its only mature and real game.
kid friendly....kid!friendly! for FVCK sake!
"If the Wii is selling like hotcakes and aiming to get casual and serious gamers interested, then why are there so few serious games to go with the casual ones?"
so he saw few kids AIMED games along with Zelda and RE:4 yet he argues with him self there are no serious games....
guess he hasn't seen the upcoming line up....>_< is this guy sleeping under a rock?
" But the GameCube did poorly as a system because of the lack of compelling games and the plethora of games aimed only at children"
I don't know Nintendo aims for everyone therefor its kid-friendly not kiddy.
"but it is not trying to pull in the people who actually care about gaming as a hobby and sometimes as a way of life: the serious gamers."
this guy is on crack.XD
this article really fails. All this guy saw were some games aimed for the younger ones and suddenly its for kids only....blegh
So basicly the article is complaining that the Wii is going though a similar hard time to the PS2 after launch, and there are only a few hundred hours of "hardcore" games out for it now.
After writing an article about how the Wii has too many games based on movies, the writer went home and played Transformers on the 360.
