TGZ: Retro Review Friday - Snatcher (Sega CD)

Total Gamer Zone: "Oh I've been waiting for this one. Those of you who know me on the forums know that I've been nothing short of evangelical when it comes to Snatcher, and it seems the cult following of this adventure classic is just like me. I'm sure the reason I played it is because some Snatcher fanboy started raving about how it's the best game ever, or how it's the only game worth playing on SegaCD (which is NOT true!) but truly every word of praise you've heard about Snatcher is true. Available on a bunch of Japanese consoles and computers no one cares about, and later ported to PSX and Saturn in Japan (also ports no one cares about), the version of Snatcher I'll be reviewing is the damn-near perfect SegaCD version."

Snatcher is one of the Hideo Kojima's unknown masterpieces. The ties in between this and Metal Gear are intriguing. What people do not know is that Elijah Modnar's father, Dr. Pettrovich Modnar made the first Metal Gear. When Big Boss was revitalized in Metal Gear 2, he himself was a Snatcher droid.

If Kojima would have continued the Snatcher storyline, Dark Sniper would probably have been a bigger fan of this than he is of Metal Gear.

A Matter Of Trust: What The Game Industry Should Do To Win Gamers Back

Skewed and Reviewed have written an Opinion Piece covering issues in the gaming industry, how current issues were issues years ago, and what can be done to help restore consumer trust.

Nothing. It's up to the gamers to stop consuming content from companies that they don't agree with.

Garethvk2d ago

How do you know if you agree with it or not unless you play it? Which without conventions forces gamers to rely on trailers. Perhaps Demos should be made more frequently. But companies need to do better as well.

anast2d ago

Wait until release. Watch Gameplay. Exercise patience.

Garethvk2d ago

But is that not what they have now? Tons of gameplay or are you talking about watching actual gamers play it versus the trailers and streams? The big issue is that some companies pay streamers and influencers and they create content but for me; that is hardly a fair, unbiased, and factual look at a game.

Get rid of the suits in the industry and job done!!

Garethvk2d ago

They usually are attached to the money sadly. It would be nice to have gamers in charge but you have so much money invested that business people are needed. Hence the issue; you need people who know business but are also gamers who know have an eye to the community. It sounds simple in theory that if you give gamers quality games that they want to play; money will be made. But that is not always so.
