"yeah.. i would have got rid of the blu-ray and sold it for lesser price..." q:

Tut6229d ago (Edited 6229d ago )

I am not trying to defend the opposite side of that statement, but before you throw quotes out I would wait until you hear the full version. He could easily continue that sentence and flip it the other way, which would make you eat your words and give fuel to the people who love to flame. Journalists put half-sentence quotes like that into teasers so people will watch the rest of their show and to quote them is risky with a lot of people around that like to flame.

Edit: For the record, I am not the person who voted a disagree on his post.

omansteveo6229d ago

This dudes not to bad hen he's not throwing out F-bombs every 5 seconds

freeza6229d ago

so hes going to start his own studio, come on jaff give us another game like gow

GameJunkieJim6229d ago

It's not needed at all. Multi-disc works just as well, if not quite as convienient, and DVD-9's are what, 30 cents?

Tut6229d ago

I don't mean to be rude, but did you even listen or watch this part of the interview? As your statement stands it is very apparent that you did not and if you did I would actually be suprised. The only mention of Blu-Ray was a teaser and it is obvious there is more to the story, so your assumption of "the wish to remove blu-ray" is quite unfounded as of right now since the interview containing the only quote that mentions such a thing is not published yet. Even then a lot of people disagree with that statement, so it is a matter of opinion and preference and not factual that would lead to a conclusion of "It's not needed at all."

There is the link to the source of the videos. If you want you can watch for the third portion to be published and see exactly what Jaffe's thoughts are on that subject, then comment on them.

GameJunkieJim6228d ago

I was commenting only on the statement in the last 10 seconds, where he clearly said he'd have removed blu-Ray and made the console cheaper.

It's not needed for games, period. Most games are fairly compact, and those that aren't small enough to fit on current media (Final Fantasy VII, ShenMue, etc.) they can always multi-disc.

The only, repeat ONLY, reason the PS3 has a Blu-Ray disc is because Sony needed a trojan horse to get it's overpriced disc format install base. The decision was made AFTER the DVD Forum where the industry decided on HD-DVD since it was cheaper and used a better video codec, but Sony just doen't like to play nice with others, preferring to bully people into it's format.

The rest of his interview was interesting and I respect him for wishing more time with his family, if you want an inane comment about something that doesn't spark debate.

So, in summation, I only remarked at what I found remarkable.

L - O - L

I am glad you people automatically assume everyone is mad at everything or excited, it must be a reflection of things going on in your own life at the time, and I guess I can't blame you for that.

Regardless, re-read my post. Actually, I will cut and copy it because it addresses the same things you just repeated. I will even put an asterisk in front of key sentences that you just do not understand, and for reasons far beyond logic I am sure. Here it comes, you ready for it?

"I don't mean to be rude, but did you even listen or watch this part of the interview?

Yeah, pretty sure that covers it once again. Glad you're watching out for the third interview to see exactly what he says though. It actually shows that you have at least a little integrity, try not to mask it with your haste to judge though. I am looking forward to not seeing it!

GameJunkieJim6228d ago (Edited 6228d ago )

Rough day at work maybe.

Anyhoo, like I said, I was just commenting on what piqued my interest.

I'll bubble you up so you can comment further (hopefully).

Both requels over 2 and 3? Clowns. Those are two of the most boring games I've ever played.

Snookies12172d ago

GoW 3 was amazing, but I personally hated just one thing. (This is on me alone, because I was dumb, lol.) I hated that you couldn't skip cutscenes on repeat playthroughs. I had to go back through the game a third time because I missed one trophy accidentally on my way to the platinum... The cutscenes were great the first go round, even the second... But the third was pretty agonizing.

Haven't played Ragnarok, but I still think GoW 4 is a wonderful game in its own right. Not sure how I would stack them up against each other honestly.

Monstieur172d ago (Edited 172d ago )

I don't consider the reboot part of the original series. The original series were high-skill games with combos and rewards for mixing things up.

solideagle172d ago

lol square, square and triangle is the only combo you needed. I have played all of them on the hardest difficulties...

Golfcoachh172d ago

Maybe I’m just old school but I just couldn’t get into the last two. Maybe it’s the slower action and more story telling but the original trilogy was by far my favorite.

Crows90172d ago

It's not that youre old school. They're different genres

JL2930171d ago (Edited 171d ago )

Me either, at all. It's just yap yap yap. They try to be a RPG's instead of being action games like they used to be.

Fluke_Skywalker172d ago

I'd put the two psp games over 3 in terms of story any day. But not over 2.

TheEnigma313172d ago (Edited 172d ago )

My favorite was part 2 and I think Ragnarok is better that 2018.

Shane Kim172d ago

The newer games are better imo.

ravens52172d ago

There is no worst. Except for Ascension, only cause I didn't play it lol. They are all masterpieces. 1,2,3, 2018 and Ragnarok. 1 of, if not the greatest video game franchise...besides MetalGear.

Snookies12172d ago

Oh wow, I actually forgot that Ascension even existed... I never played it either.

Crows90172d ago

I like ascension. It was different and some interesting combat additions.

darthv72172d ago

If you didnt play it, how could you call it the worst? Its not as bad as the media portrayed it. Honestly the worst are those flash games. they arent even considered true GoW games but in name only. At least Ascension is a real GoW game.

ravens52172d ago

Not saying it's a terrible game. Just mean it's at the bottom of my list. I played a little bit of it. Jus to me, compared to the other main games, it's last.

Fluke_Skywalker172d ago

Ascension is the only GOW game I never finished. Hated it.

Inverno172d ago

Can't agree, older games do so much more than the last two. More weapons, magic abilities, enemies are more varied, level design is also more aesthetically pleasing, and agree with those who say that they shouldn't have removed jumping. Was a time I'd agree, but those old games are so so much better, that they really should've looked into bringing into the reboot/sequels.

Crows90172d ago (Edited 172d ago )

If a game is good then a game is good. Doesn't matter what came before or what comes after.

Inverno172d ago

Of course it matters. If not for what what came before there wouldn't be an after. And if something is great before then you strive to make it just as good if not better, after. I personally don't think there's a fair way to judge the new with the old because the newer games are still essentially a reboot, and went a way different direction. But I still believe the old games did it better. I'm probably bias though since I've been going back to old games and have been finding that they lack all the annoying aspects that devs have shoehorned into new games to fluff out game time.

Crows90171d ago

@Inverno

Im not talking about the passage of time here. Im talking about individual pieces of software. If a game is good then it is good. Thats not a controversial statement. You can compare good with good...sure. But you still end up with good. Now if there is a bad game in the mix and you compare you do end up with some differentials between them...makes sense to compare and see where it went wrong.

But theyre different genres and styles which were individually executed very well.

And no. The new games are not a reboot. Theyre a new direction but simply a continuation.
Tomb raider was a reboot.

Inverno171d ago

The new games are definitely a reboot, and a continuation, it can be both which it is. And a good game might be good, but my point is that if there are things done better before it then there's plenty of room for critiquing and trying to make whatever comes after better rather than just good.
