I still want a MMO with the Devil May Cry combat system. :-(

Kanik commented on Third Parties Were So "Confused" By PS3

Mon, 12 May 2008 08:39:37 MDT

If there's anything 3rd parties are confused about, it's how to develop multiplatform games on the PS3.

What is up with the Bourne demo on the PS3 looking so sharp it hurts my eyes? Meanwhile the 360 version is blended like a dream sequence. I like dream sequences. :(

The bus I take to Jersey loads people up right there. I was waiting for the bus to fill up last friday and was just staring at the ad. I love how the video to the right is just a shot of a woman's hips moving, "how will it move you?" Creepy.

They can add to the replayability of a game.

Example: driving with the gnome in Half-life.

Thanks a lot.

After seeing this I'm now determined to find my turquoise M. Bison that is buried in my closet.

And yes, I was the only kid on the block with the turquoise M. Bison and not the original one. Not because they didn't have the original one, no, because I actually like my Bisons wearing turquoise.

Jesus.

I just bought a PS3 yesterday (which cost me more than double of what I paid for my 360). I planned on selling my 360 because of space issues but not anymore.

Saw this video, then turned to my PS3 and said "can you do that?". I am now seeking medical help because I talk to inanimate objects.

Kanik commented on Street Fighter Film Writer Won't "Blatantly Sexualize" Chun-Li

Thu, 08 May 2008 12:19:32 MDT

@Ricksterlau: I still think the original Mortal Kombat was well made...I mean, as well as a Mortal Kombat movie can be made.

Kanik commented on Street Fighter Film Writer Won't "Blatantly Sexualize" Chun-Li

Thu, 08 May 2008 12:07:33 MDT

So...the movie will coincide with the new Street Fighter game and Chun Li will be a transvestite with mammoth hands?

Kanik commented on The Sims Is Not A Casual Game, Buster

Thu, 08 May 2008 07:25:17 MDT

People are definitely using casual and hardcore differently.

I always imagined it labeled not the player but rather if you can just jump right into a game or if it was a drawn out process until you started having fun.

New system of labeling:

Casual - Wii Sports
Hardcore - World of Warcraft
Softcore - Sims

Kanik commented on New Xbox 360 Chipset This Summer?

Thu, 08 May 2008 07:15:54 MDT

I honestly feel like not only getting a PS3 but replacing my 360 with it. Not only because of space restrictions due to my shitty fabulous apartment. But because I feel like when my launch console dies I am going to cry.

Plus, I really don't like this multi-chip nonsense.

@laencythe: Don't be hating. :D

Your correct and to summarize: less intelligent people (or perhaps less articulate) use Yahtzee's videos as a flagship for their argument against a game. Many people dislike SSBB (referencing to those that dislike it because they never played it) and will use Yahtzee as a better argument than "lol sux". The same applies to fans using high scores to validate the games worth (see GTA 4).

I enjoy Yatzhee's videos mostly because it's nice to actually see someone verbalize (and in a humorous way) the flaws (and strengths) of videogames.

It's very refreshing for me because everything he's stated in his videos, about games I've played, is exactly how I felt when playing them. I haven't felt the same level of connectivity to reviews since the Adam Sessler reviews of old.

Tempting cover-art for M-rated games?

Compromise!

All violent games must now have covers similar to this.

Wed, 07 May 2008 07:30:46 MDT

Would be amazing if WiiFit showed what it thinks your Mii really looks like. Suddenly those thin cute Mii bodies become oozing greasy globs of meat, and then it adds acne too, just for good measure!

Wed, 07 May 2008 07:14:25 MDT

My launch 360 has never frozen. Ever. Until I stuck GTA 4 in it. Frozen 4 times from the loading screen, Disc Error once and after the error I rebooted the system and the bootup screen was messed up.

Tetris Splash never gave me these problems!

I blew into the VGA cable and it's been working fine since, go figure. Blowing solves everything.

Here's hoping they let old players try it out for like a weekend without paying. I'm interested but at the same time cautious as to how much fun I'd really have with it.
