Well, this is an interesting development. I have to wonder now if any of the other rumors carry any weight.
The outlet who originally leaked the Project Cafe codename also leaked the whole screen in the controller business. It definitely gives that rumor some credibility, though I'm still having a hard time understanding the viability of that one. Either way, this year's E3 just got a lot more interesting.
I'll let Chessa throw in her two cents, but I know that she has expressed some similar complaints while playing through this.
Personally, I'm a little miffed that the game doesn't have more than one save file. I guess I'm holding out for a 3DS version too, Nate, because at least that will provide me with another slot to save my game in.
Yeah, that's exactly the problem I have with Gears of War. I'm sure you like it more than I do, but it definitely gets boring. Pop and cover shooting is done by everyone at this point, and while Gears was the first series to really mainstream it, it feels no different or better at this point.
This is in large part because there's not much else they could do with the formula to improve it and because they pretty much hit the nail on the head with the cover mechanics giving everyone else a really solid blueprint to go off of. So now everyone is on par and Gears just blends into the sea of pop and cover third person shooters.
This is a series I've really tried to enjoy, but I just can't. It's so unbelievably boring to me. Some of what you describe here sounds like an improvement, Rob; however, I'm curious to see if the single player received the boost as well. Past missions have been a bit too redundant and bland to encourage me to continue playing.
This sounds awesome. Totally impractical, but totally awesome.
A neat idea, but that sure isn't going to carry this experience.
Looking sexy. While it's a game I've already played quite a bit of, I'm still excited for it. Under the same circumstances, Rayman 3D has held up well, especially with the 3D, so that's encouraging as well.
Seriously? The crappy 2.5D graphics in Sonic 4 Ep. 1 were a huge turn off for me, so pass on this.
This Dead Rising 2 announcement is bizarre. I still don't know what to make of it. It kind of reminds me of what they did with Half Life and its expansions, Blue Shift and Opposing Force, but with a character that wasn't even a part of the story. I don't know.
I'm not really sure I'm even excited for it, despite the fact that Chessa and I enjoyed playing the original release. I wish they would've focused on something new instead of treading more of the same ground with Dead Rising 2.
Dragon's Dogma seems pretty vague right now, so I can't say I care about that either.
