I thought the premise of fal'Cie and l'Cie was pretty good. It was an easy way to put characters in dramatic situations, forcing them to choose between l'Cie focus and their personal goals. It's just that FFXIII didn't succeed building some kind of cohesive story around that (IMO). Maybe it'll...

Hm, damage looks like standard implementation for many racing games today. I.e. predefined changes in model geom + textures. Nothing extraordinary, but anything more advanced isn't really feasible for current or even next gen. Personally though, most important aspect of having damage is the...

Mind=blown. This demo makes Gears of War gameplay feel stiff and sluggish, IMO. I couldn't even think that third person shooter can be so fast paced. Seeing large missiles/shells constantly fly above your head give you a feeling that death is just one wrong move away. VERY clever trick...

Pretty much anyone IMO. I would much rather see a strong dev like Kojima working on new IP rather than making remakes/updates.

Hmm, you give pretty accurate description to characters, but these things don't necessarily make them bad. I always thought of the story playing out as a scene play in front of an audience. Exaggerated monologues are intended and performed by excellent voice actors adding to memorable flare that...

Not sure about the strategy of naming a standalone game after an existing game. If they don't want to call it FF14/15 they could just avoid giving it a number entirely. Also, game world looks a lot different from either FF13's Cocoon or Pulse -- highrises look like any modern megapolis...

Just finished the game -- first Final Fantasy/JRPG I've ever played. Also, the longest game I've ever played. :grin: Here's my outsider's impression: >>> Combat: much faster and more fun that I thought it would be. The automatic camera motion rigged to show off the battle from best angle is...

Funny thing, when I gave the game to my mother and stayed with her to help her through combat parts , those things took me forever, Talk about parenting instinct :smile:

Can we talk about the story now? :grin: I think I'm the only one who felt kind-of like a nazi, invading hellghan world, storming through their civilian establishments, all in a race to assassinate their leader. I don't know how many people actually read the history of the Killzone world...

I finished Shadow of the Colossus for the first time several months ago on my PS3, that game was absolutely mind-blowing. I don't particularly care how it gets re-released, as long as it does. I think you guys are over analyzing it and expecting a bit too much. Comparing ICO to God of War is not...

Not sure why, but I can't say it looks slightest bit impressive, honestly. :sad: If I didn't know these were Crysis 2 screenshots, I would've just scrolled past them thinking it's yet another shooter. In part, it could be because after going from FarCry to Crysis, I would expect similar leap in...

Sweet. I'm sick of games where you can shoot a guy with an RPG in the face and all you get is jerky ragdoll summersault. Glad to see Epic bringing realistic dismemberment back. :grin:

Close, http://www.vgchartz.com/games/game.php?id=6978&region=All , but I just remember all the talk after release about it not living up to expectations and all. In any case, I am stoked to see Serkis doing acting and even taking part in the directing of the title. I can't think of another...

Yeah, another generic post apocalyptic/unreal game is not what I expected from NT. Especially with them having a very nice PS3 engine on their hands, cost of developing which probably hadn't been covered by sales of Heavenly Sword alone. I guess poor HS sales is what made them go in more generic...

Hi, did you read his stuff about scene graph hierarchy? There is also discussion on factoring/breaking up the product of transformations so that the new transformation is represented as pure rotation matrix + scale vector + translation vector. Just from looking over the few pages above, the key...
