Other M was one of the worst games I've ever played, a complete insult to the franchise. I'm really sad to see retro moving on to other IPs but I suppose it's time. They made donkey kong country returns too and that was another one of my all time favorite games.
:O
Whoa, it's the first metroid game I actually enjoyed since Super Metroid :S
And I really like Fps games, it's just that it has the exact look and feel I always thought the series should have... It seemed to me like a natural conversion to 3D from the old 2D games, I never liked much the prime series, but that's just my opinion..
About DKCR, I liked it, but for someone that grew up playing the priginal DKC it just doesnt have that.. charm.. that used to be present in all Rare games
I really miss them and it's sad to know we'll never have smth like DKC, Conker, Banjo Kazooie. I am in some nostalgic phase of my gaming life, cause I miss so much the colorful n64 era. I like the serious approach modern games have and all, but Im getting so sick of just shooters, shooters, shooters, Rpg, shooters and more shooters.
I mean, Mario Galaxy is the living proof that colorful 3D platformers can be successful with modern graphics and mechanics. It's one hell of a game. The level design is clever, the gameplay is fluid, and Id totally play it if the character was not Mario, but some other folk. The thing is apart from Nintendo, everybody is putting the biggest minds of the century to work on war games and shit.
Look at Cliff B (Gears of War creator). He spent most of the last decade working on the franchise and nothing fucking more. One of my most loved games of all time is Jazz Jackrabbit, a colorful 2D shooter for DOS, by yours truly Cliffy B.
WHY IS EVERYONE WHO USED TO MAKE DIFFERENT, INOVATIVE GAMES TURNING TO RIDDICULOUS PRE MADE SHOOTERS? I wouldnt be surprised , if Miyamoto announced he is working on a fucking fps..
Not that I have anything against first person shooters, I love them actually. My favorite PC game is Crysis 1. My problem is there is no mre variety! Shit, when Batman: Arkham Asylum came out, I thought ok, now if this game is a big hit other games like that will start to come out, but all we got so far is its sequel.
I reminisce the memories of me playing Crash Bandicoot on my friend's ps1, how we spent hours trying to clear it with all those secrets. And dont anybody try to tell me about those Crash games for wii, these jokes made with pre-written generic code and models are an insult. The thing is the only kind of game that gets any budget nowadays is FPSs..
The only company that really steps away from that today is Nintendo, and they are too busy making minigame collections and casual shit too move their asses.
Dang, how would I love to see a good spaceship shooter, imagine e a starfox game with modern graphics and mechanics, just dramatize the plot like they did to metroid on Other M and they have a giaranteed hit. Or smth like Metal Slug on modern standards. I also miss a good FZero, Wave Race, 1080 Snowboarding, and that's only talking about Nintendo franchises, I have a bunch more for PC. Fury3 for starters. Also hopefully Tomb Raider is going to fix up some of this disgraceful mess, let's see. Assassins Creed is doing some of this job but what would really do it would be a decent new Prince of Persia from Ubi.
Whoa, I took lot off my chest here
