I'm disappointed in this article. It's looking to stretch this mess out longer than it needs to go. Mike even admitted that he was a bully in his post, so I don't see the revelation this article is trying to make.
Any word on how well it plays on anything less than the dualcore systems? I've got an iPhone 4, and even the original IB has been sluggish and drops frames ever since iOS 5 came out, to the point of being almost unplayable. Since IB2 has been touted as "optimized for the iPhone 4S" etc., will this play PROPERLY on any older models?
I love the concept, but not the price. This same information constantly appears online, with similar functionality. Achievement Hunters had similar functionality online for Assassin's Creed and similar games, and it was free.
I'd have been willing to pay 99 cents for the added utility of having it on my phone, but not three times that. I can just use my laptop for that price.
Yep. When I set a reminder to activate when I arrived somewhere, the icon appeared permanently in the menu bar. Once I arrived, it disappeared because it no longer had to constantly monitor my location.
Now I have to go check to see if the original article refers to who they played; I was on AmberMUSH for years, and credit it for my typing skills and learning to be personable over the Internet. Developed a LOT of my internet persona from those days; all of my nicknames (like this one, Imaria) started from AmberMUSH characters I played ;]
As long as everyone involved knows that they have something to apologize for, I'm satisfied. I don't care WHOSE fault it is, as long as they know to never repeat that kind of travesty. By the time the next Metroid game comes out, they'll never, EVER have another game in which Samus is that much of a wuss-ass.
Beyond the obvious awesome of this video, the whole retrospective brings another realization to mind... how the HELL has Nintendo managed to make so many truly BIZARRE games with Mario and managed to avoid completely eradicating the franchise? We see him playing golf and tennis and board games, and that's managed to be completely okay for all of us. What sorcery is this that made gamers (who might be some of the most jaded people alive) totally swallow that pill?
Nothing I've read implies it is, but I'd also love for it to be Kinect enabled. This is one of the few games where Kinect support would make SENSE, so I hope it ends up happening. They've discussed expanding it in the future, so we may yet have hope.
From Dust is the only game I'm looking forward to out of all this. I tried the demo for Catherine, and while I like the plot it presents... the gameplay just felt dreadfully boring.
I can happily throw money at this. It sounds more and more like what I expected Black & White to be, rather than the nitpicky fiddly mess that it was. A god shouldn't have to be involved with telling his shaman to "go here", he should be concerned with altering the very world to make it obvious and doable.
As a dyslexic, I find this fascinating and it seems spot on. I never thought of it as seeing the letters as 3D elements, but it makes perfect sense once I give it any thought. The concepts in the font, like "weighting" the letters, is ingenious. Most impressive.
