A new StarCraft 2 trailer was unveiled in Korea. Till we get a better version, this one will have to suffice.
Akayuki has some scans and information about Fallout 3. The Q&A portion is very interesting, covering topics ranging from gameplay to design. In-game weapons and locations are discussed in greater detail than we’ve seen from previous interviews, shedding some light on what to expect from Bethesda’s latest endeavor.
As always, the controversial first-person perspective direction is raised. Thankfully, Fallout 3 executive producer Todd Howard tackles it head-on, giving us some insight on just how Oblivion-like Fallout 3 is going to be.
Army of Two Reviewed: A Co-Op, Thinking-Man’s FPS
Posted on 2008 under PS3, Reviews, Xbox 360 | 1 Comment8 Mar
Opposable Thumbs has a review of Army of Two and it looks like it’s a winner. Amidst the competitive world of first-person shooters, Army of Two provides great co-op gameplay that requires players to think first and shoot later. Don’t let that deter you though. Just because I said you have to think means that you get less of the action. It’s an FPS through and through. You just can’t play it run and gun-style and expect to do well.
Flashy action like the back-to-back, Tequila Bomb-esque sequences that start in a hail of gunfire and end in an empty room of bodies and bullets will have action-loving gamers floored. On the surface, this is like the best summer action flick you’ve ever been to with a buddy.
Fallout is the kind of franchise that would scare most developers. On one side you’ve got one of the best-loved RPGs this gaming world has ever known and on the other you’ve got the hardcore fans who love it so much they would eat you alive if you did something wrong with it. And by wrong, I mean turn it into a first-person shooter and make it look like it’ll be another Oblivion, only with guns and power armor. Since that’s exactly what Fallout 3 developer Bethesda is doing, the fans have been having a field day enumerating all things wrong with the game. For those hardcore fans, lead designer Emil Pagliarulo had this to say:
“That’s always the toughest question. You listen to the fans and respect their ideas, but once you start designing a game that they want to make specifically, then you can get yourself into trouble … You have to make the game that you’re making and know that it’s a good one and continue with that.”
