GamerNode's Dan Crabtree writes: Perspective defines perceived reality, which holds true for virtual realities. The lens through which the player experiences a game frames the action in a way that no graphical prowess or intriguing plot twist can. Shooters often demonstrate this relationship better than any genre with two distinct perspectives: first-person and third-person. This is more than a question of point-of-view; it's a battle for shooter supremacy. Head 2 Head brings you the firefight that developers know all too well, First-Person Shooters vs. Third-Person Shooters.
An executive of Electronic Arts Japan has criticised the Japanese video game ratings board for allowing upcoming action game Stellar Blade to be released uncensored while EA's own Dead Space was banned in the country.
He’s got a point. If a game is M-Rated, which is the equivalent of an R rating, I don’t get why you need to censor anything. The rating is the indicator of the content and the age appropriate. If it’s appropriate for adults… why treat them like children? 🤷♂️
I don't know if the EA executive is going off the one close up of an arm being cut off in the demo. Maybe it's uncensored because it's the arm of a cyborg or it doesn't happen that often (didn’t see EVE dismemberment when killed in the demo) .
In the states there's a certain amount of swear words allowed to a PG13 movie before it is deemed R. So maybe it's the same in Japan for gore?
The remake teased an expanded universe, but now a sequel has no chance of delivering on it.
Honestly i believe it was mainly as retaliation for the original devs breaking off and making colisto protocol. They've done this a few times, ignoring fan demands for the return of a belived ip until someone does it for them, then they retaliate by only then announcing an entry. Colisto protocol was announced and EA announced the remake shortly after, Session finally hit consoles and skate 4 was announced, shortly after Undisputed was shown off, talks started happening about a new fight night.
It was a solid game and we'll have to move on and accept it for what it is. Just because we're not getting a sequel (original or remake) doesn't mean there's no point anymore in what is a great, tense, well-paced single player experience. No one's taking Dead Space Remake away.
I just hope that the game isn't so technically stitched together on PC that driver updates render the game unplayable like what happened with me and my RTX 4070 last year, requiring a driver downgrade just months after the game came out. If you're a console player then you've got no worries.
Most likely for EA to cash in on the remake craze that followed Capcom when they started remaking RE games. I am glad EA did it I enjoy the game. DS is one of my favorite franchises love the sci fi horror shit. What I don't like is EA not remaking DS2. So DS1 remake did not do well with the numbers so what. DS2 has a solid fanbase and is probably the best entry in the franchise depending on the fan. DS2 remake would have been a day one for me but I got a reminder on why I hate EA. Scrap the DS2 remake for a shitty Iron Man game.
It's because the gaming community want remakes and remasters over new games.
I think that is for the best of the franchise o be left alone then to be turned into a game as a service or something like that, EA has the awful habit of trying to monetize everything.
How do composers make the iconic music tracks from games that we love? And just what makes them so memorable?
This is a tough call. Each style has its gameplay perks, but in terms of narrative, 3rd-person connects me to the character better by actually creating a CHARACTER, rather than turning him into a CAMERA. First-person may allow for better immersion into a game world, though.
Third-person is probably the better of the two, but it's a tough call.
Third person usually has the better story while first usually has more action.
usually...
I like both evenly tbh. I would get extremely bored from one if I didnt have the other to take a break.
I dunno, I'd argue CoD Modern Warfare had an amazing narrative and was a fps. I like the dizziness of a cut scene when it's in first person. Killzone did it well too.
I'm actually pretty surprised that there aren't a TON more FPS defenders saying that first-person is the way to go.
