Of course you ve been missed, thats why you have so many comments to reply too! It's good to see you back again Tami, at least when your absent I know its all for a good cause, what would those beasties do with out you. Glad to hear you able to get a little gaming in again, if only we could go back to school days when gaming time wasn't an issue!
Resident Evil 1 really does do it well, like you I'm a res 4 camper, that game had scary as hell moments and the monsters on that one are the scariest to date (cant remember what they are called but those black blob things near the freezer section get me everytime). Revelations also did a pretty good job for the scares, the boat sections were seriously epic, its just a shame the 'action segments' were no where near as strong!
I really do want a console that can do everything, I know it's unrealistic of me but only because of the money involved with selling more hardware, consoles and games. I kind of understand it and it's a double edged sword as far as I'm concerned. The issue now lies with user support in my opinion. There are so many games released now with strong multiplayer components that they effectively become absolete (in many cases) after a few months. COD and the like have regular online communities supporting them for years but lots of other titles fall by the wayside because something else just comes out. Older titles provide quickplay opportunities and single player focus with campaigns that regularly take 20 plus hours (particularly in single player modes) with massive ammounts of replayability. The FPS genre suffers the most here, Goldeneye (my fave FPS of all time) is still fun to go back and play. This title alone will fade into obscurity because of the arguments of licsensing. It's a crying shame that the fat cats rule the roost as being able to play my 360 games on the X Box one would have been an immediate selling point for me.
Awesome! I'm always needing tips with games so this might be the perfect stop!
Buy out Microsoft eh...... now that is a plan! I'll even avoid the temptation to do 'painting with kinect game'
Your right there, less attractive faces are easier to draw, and more interesting surprisingly! more textures and less symmetrical features mean that you can make more 'mistakes'. The leack of line is also a really good point, relying on tone and shade for detail is very difficult and so easy to get wrong,you also might be onto something with your theory on 'flab curtains' for concealment!
Thanks Alex! yeah faces and hands are killers to get to grips with, after years of practice it always amazes me how much more there is to learn. I was really pleased with the chess board, it helped reaffirm my love of water colours! glad you like it!
Thanks mate! I used to spend time working as a free lance illustrator and then I worked in fashinon design would you believe! It's quite lonely though as you work by your self so much so I decided a 'proper job' is what was needed. Cheers for the kind words!
I m sure (and hope) your right about the console exclusives. Halo and Gears of War are games that I'm becoming seriously bored with now, God of War holds my attention a little longer but i just find it hard to give a damn about these series now. What bugs me is DLC exclusives, I really can't stand being punished for not owning both consoles and the price tag on these things means that I just reasonably cant!
Awesome concept, love how you can take place in the 'board game' reminds me of that toy soldiers on X box arcade.
