GDC 2010 brings an official name to Sony's new attempt at motion control.
The name of Sony's motion controller has been speculated for some time now, with the name "Arc" being the forerunner for the most likely name for the piece of equipment.
Not quite the deep and engaging adventure that was expected.
There's no question that Wii owners have been starved of RPG experiences, even now, three-and-a-half years since its release. One game that Wii owners have been holding out for to deliver that experience is The Crystal Bearers. Unfortunately for Wii owners, The Crystal Bearers is much more of an adventure title than it is an RPG, and a mediocre adventure title at that.
It's basically Earth Defense Force with swords.
Sandlot probably isn't a familiar developer name to most gamers, but it's one that should be. The team is responsible for the campy Earth Defense Force series; a third person shooter focused on protecting the Earth during an alien invasion. Those who do know the series will immediately understand the team's latest endeavor, Zangeki no Reginleiv. The game, published by Nintendo in Japan, takes the guns out of players' hands and replaces them with swords, bows, magical staffs, and other medieval equipment. Though the weapons have changed, players will still fight hordes of enemies waves at a time, but rather than aliens, players fight ogres in an ancient, medieval land.
Project Aces makes their triumphant debut on Wii.
As you may already know from our podcast-based Developer Specials, The Sky Crawlers: Innocent Aces is the latest work of Project Aces, the team behind Namco's popular Ace Combat series. With this title, the team has made a departure from the gritty action for a more light-hearted anime adaptation.
