Richard Windsor of Aeropause decided to write an article discussing how fanboy media is really starting to infiltrate more of the quality gaming sites on the web, including N4G.com.
A gorgeous real-world Miraidon from Pokemon Scarlet and Violet has been created in Japan by the Toyota Engineering Society.
JDR thinks the gaming industry needs more licensed IPs. It's basically a cry for Firefly: The Game, and why not? JDR delves deeper into why more isn't adapted for the interactive screen.
Nah. Video games are their own thing they wouldn't be improved by leeching off Hollywood more.
Read the article and it gives no mention of the many problems prevalent with licensed IPs, such as games and dlc being delisted when their licenses expire, Adult Swim games being the most recent example.
Only if they're good, if its going to be a 2D sprite art game, you can get away with a small team and small budget. But if you're going to make it a 3D polygonal game, you're going to need a large team with a large budget, and often times these licensed games are quickly pushed out the door, unpolished, rough, boring, bland, snorefest at best, and downright broken at worst.
We have an Indiana Jones and James Bond game currently being developed by two veteran teams with I assume fairly sizeable budgets. Let's hope they turn out to be worthwhile.
A new Mad Max game to coincide with the upcoming film would have been awesome. I loved the first game, I'm guessing it didn't sell too well as they never bothered following it up.
"The Game Music Foundation are today very proud and pleased to announce an additional concert, circling back to the roots of Game Muisic Festival in Poland. On April 28th, 2024, the National Forum of Music in Wroclaw will once again become a place to celebrate the art of video game music, featuring scores from The Last of Us and The Last of Us Part II." - The Game Music Foundation.
I love the picture.
He's right, to some extent, though I think he over-focuses on Sony fans. It's more of a problem with N4G in general - the Gamer Zone isn't QUITE patrolled enough for blatant fanboy posts (though it's still much better than before the divide).
But worse, is that there's nothing stopping fanboys from doing one of two things:
1) Mass-approving articles that praise a certain console yet are little more than rehashes of previous articles
2) Mass-reporting articles that might actually be valid yet are somehow anti-their console of choice
Though really, without diving the entire site into a "Gamer Site" and "Open Site", I'm not sure what else can be done. Being a *community* news site, it sort of goes without saying that you'll see *all* sides of the gaming community. And some sides of it are pretty ugly.
Literally.
I aint posted in ages, Just dont see the point.I have 20 disagrees lose bubbles and feel like if Ive just raped somebodys mum..
AN ADULTS ONLY GAMING SITE PLEASE!!!!
Id gladly pay monthly for it too.
Either that or just BAN the FANBOY SHXT talkers.
If you get on forums and fill them with biased fanboy talking points then you have a sad, sad life. These idiots only drive in life is to make some snappy comments on a forum to get approvals and virtual "high fives" from their fellow idiots.
This site is no place for reason or real discussion. Its now devolved into a lord of the rings type pissing contest between fanboy zealots. Who can be the biggest blindest corporate cheerleader wins.
yeah. but here at n4g they changed to comments zones, it's a step in the right direction. i understand that everyone has the right of opinion, but me and other users need a flamesuit sometimes.
