Dragon Age IGN AU review
Closing Comments
Supposing you've been waiting, as we have, for Baldur's Gate III to appear from the ether – is Dragon Age: Origins the next best thing? You bet. To be certain, it's fun, the gameplay is tried and true and the tale has enough twists and intrigue to keep you levelling your way towards the conclusion dozens of hours later.
But given that it's a wholly similar experience to its lineage, Dragon Age: Origins is still arguably inferior to 2000's Bioware masterpiece. Why? Perhaps it's the idea that 2D design at its best utterly squashes middle-of-the-road 3D environments that have already been superseded by competitors. Perhaps it's the all-too-frequent lashings of 'Lord of the Rings' that overshadows the more delicate tales – like the plight of the downtrodden Elves or the careful interplay of your party characters as you walk along the bland countryside. Or perhaps it's that unshakeable feeling that, after ten years, maybe High Fantasy needs to take a few more risks, lest it be forgotten like the realms it inhabits.
8.4
My turn to say thanks to Yoda. He got me Star Tropics. Now a bevy of overweight Island chieftans (or at least one) awaits me!!
And speaking of StarTropics, Miyamoto and I were talking about the upcoming secret yet to be announced Wii version (that's only a mere weeks away from getting an official announcement). After taking our kids Trick or Treating we were going through their candy looking for razor blades in the candy and stealing the choice pieces (he is a total fiend for Charleston Chews), and he shared yet another surprise. When Nintendo decided they wanted to revive an old action/RPG series, Star Tropics was not their first choice. . . it was actually Crystalis.
See, Miyamoto was a huge fan of Crystalis (or God Slayer as he refers to it). Loves it. He says it was better than the original Zelda. Only problem was Nintendo didn't develop it. However, they did buy the rights to the game about 10 years ago and released a port of it onto the Gameboy Color. Now that deal expired a while back, but Nintendo was prepared to buy them again from SNK, this time for good. But there was a little snag.
You see one of the top guys at SNK plays backgammon with Miyamota a lot, and well Miyamoto is very competitive. Talks a lot of trash when he's winning. Apparently he beat the guy at SNK very badly last time and threw in some choice insults about the guy's mother. So now SNK won't sell the rights anymore, and eventually Nintendo gave up.... and went with StarTropics instead.
So there's your little story this morning everyone.
http://computerandvideogames.com/article.php?id=226515
Rare's secretly in-the-works Kameo sequel is just one casualty of a Microsoft project cull at the studio, to make way for more Natal development, CVG has learned.
Earlier this year the UK developer underwent a "company-wide restructure" to implement a "new approach" to its in-development projects, Microsoft revealed.
A source close to the platform holder has since told CVG that the "restructure" saw the canning of more than one 'traditional' franchise sequel, including Kameo 2.
Our source clarified that disappointing sales of the 360 launch game - and not just the march towards Natal - also played a factor in its cancellation.
Rare is now said to be "intimately involved" with the Project Natal launch, including one or two titles outside the traditional game space.
"The company is reviewing the current composition of its development teams and there is the possibility that a small number of current positions could be lost as a result of these changes," an MS statement said earlier this year.
We've left a message with Microsoft for comment.
Rat bastards! Natal sucks! That's it! I'm jumping ship over to Sony.
Phew, we dodged the bullet here guys.
Thank goodness we wont have to put up with a Kameo sequel.
In other sadder terms, the article mentions that more than one franchise sequel has been cancelled. Perfect Dark? Killer Instinct? Banjo?
Rare seems to be MS's go to casual guys now.
Rare is the closest thing to Nintendo that MS owns.
Wanted to offer up some updated impressions of Nostalgia. The game is getting better. I'm still more or less pushing myself to play it, but I'm starting to see a few more interesting features.
The most unique new feature is the Airship combat. It's still pretty basic turn-based combat, but you can get attacked from three different sides at once, so you have to look right, straight, and left when you determine which group you want to fight. It's a neat twist that helps it feel a little different.
The level up system also features sort of a branching system that while not exactly innovative, doesn't get used enough in traditional RPGs, and its welcome here.
I will also say that the Steampunk theme really is barely here or at least in the background. I mean, they've thrown in wizards now and some of the outfits just defy any kind of theme at all. Hopefully there will be a bigger push for it later in the game, but at this stage in the game it's been disappointing.
Noooooo! Aww man I really wanted Kameo 2, the first one was pretty cool. I sure hope a new Killer Instinct isn't one of the other ones that got canned. Oh well I'm really looking forward to what Natal can do so I guess that's just the way it goes.
As unimpressive as Kameo might be (I've started it over a good number of times and getting bored within the hour), the loss of a sequel to that is worse news by an order of magnitude than the loss of crap such as Perfect Dark, Killer Instinct or Banjo.
Looks who back bitch
Once set in motion it cannot be stopped!
Wise choice on Batman....the game is awesome. Maybe my favorite game of the year.
And I also love posts like that. Reminds me of Gamespot around 2000 when it was a fun place.
Thanks for the impressions. I cant really get interested in DS RPGs anymore though, there are so many.
I need some more 360 games, after RE5 and SFIV its been all quiet and actually apart from LKS its been all quiet on the wii front too.
My poor 360 feels neglected though, I need Fallout 3 and Arkham for sure. Sad that a good number of Wii games have been pushed back till spring, Silent Hill, Red Steel 2, Monster Hunter 3, FFCC etc.
I've been wanting COD4 for ageeeeees but since its not come down in price I'm going to wait on reviews and if they are good, get the Wii version with IR aiming.
Can you ask your wife and daughter if they got the Spooky wallpaper? I have items to trade for it. Even if they only have the one.
Bugs, Raven and co, get in the thread if you want some items.
