Dylan Jobe from Lightbox Interactive took to the stage at SXSW today to talk about the Starhawk beta with fans. Through a quick powerpoint presentation, the man went through slideshows highlighting the current nation by nation stat rankings for the beta. In shocking fashion, the USA was not at the top of any rankings.
Gary Green said: We have a juxtaposition of 2D and 3D visuals, flashy turn-based combat, quirky anime characters with cheeky dialogue with plenty of partial nudity; Yes, this is a Compile Heart JRPG. Whilst the engine is borrowed from Hyperdimension Neptunia mk2, Mugen Souls is more of a Disgaea spin-off. It’s not a strategy RPG as such, it merely sits within Disgaea’s ever-expanding universe (Multiverse? Netherverse? Your guess is as good as mine). You won’t find cameos though, since Mugen Souls is a franchise which aims to stand on its own two feet.
Huzaifa from eXputer: "2008 was home to the likes of Call of Duty: World at War, Dead Space, GTA 4, Far Cry 2, Left 4 Dead, and many other hits, which is outright remarkable."
Just about every year in the 7th generation was great and something we most likely won't experience again.
2009 for example had Assassin's Creed 2, Batman: Arkham Asylum, Dragon Age: Origins, Uncharted 2, Halo 3: ODST, Killzone 2, Borderlands, Bayonetta, and Demon's Souls to name a few.
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).
interesting stats
that being said, I can't stop playing this game.
It basically has the best of all worlds. Starcraft, Tribes 2, Unreal Tournament, armored core....etc etc
If lightbox enhances gameplay even more we might have a game changer for the PS3.
Wish the party system worked. The Randomize Team option is stuck to on in the demo and it keeps splitting me and my friends up. Gah!
yeah the broken party system kinda killed it for me and my kid. once they fix that i will be buying two copies.
Worthless stats, I was hoping to read about stats per weapon and vehicle, what is mostly killed by what etcetera. It's rock-paper-scissors gameplay after all. I'm not good in a Hawk but you can bring-em down with a tank (use repairgun in 2nd seat is great) or if they're on the ground, with a jetpack & rocketlauncher combo.
I hope they ad at least 2 more load-outs, one with everything available and one without Hawks. Blasphemy perhaps, but I'm sure there's a lot of players who want a good old tankbattle without worrying about the sky. But great game so far, I'm really addicted:)
When the other side wants to be tank whores and mortar you every 3 seconds it gets annoying. As for the asshats that try running people over all the time ie repeatedly, those are the people that recieve my full attention my next respawn.
I love the mp but letting the enemy build emplacements ie turrents at your base is borderline game breaking, especially at the small space map with a enemy shielded supply bunker directly across from your base with a perfect line of fire.
Yeah that is probably the least useful stats they could have released, for gamers.
