Uncharted 2, Legend of Zelda: Spirit tracks along with Mario and Sonic at the Olympic Winter Games are the big winners of Gamescom 2009. A professional jury selected the best games in their respective divisions.
Jason Hall, currently an indie developer and former Blizzard employee, has been sharing some really interesting stories from his long career in the industry for a while now. Some of them are truly insightful, while others may seem depressing.
I’m a little shocked that StarCraft 2: Wings of Liberty sold only around 6 million copies. The original StarCraft did over 11 million. Maybe Blizzard was too leisurely in releasing StarCraft 2? Starcraft 2 came out 12 years after it’s predecessor.
and people wonder why we are having mtx in everything. i blame the people who actual buy them.
It's interesting he used Brazil as an example of the importance of regional pricing. Nowadays many companies on Steam are setting their prices in Brazil as high as, if not more than, their price in USA. I simply refused to buy a few games when I noticed that's the case.
Tears of the Kingdom may be about to become everyone's new favorite, but there's one DS game that deserves more shine.
KeenGamer: "Nothing says gaming royalty like the iconic duo of Link and Zelda. Let's discuss which version of the duo is best, spanning the entire franchise. There are some versions of the characters that are more memorable and recognisable than others."
For me...
Wind Waker
Twilight Princess
Skyward Sword
BotW
These are the best Link's in that order IMO based on their backstory and general percieved personality in my eyes. Since he is silent in the eyes of the player, gotta rely on hidden backstory, motivations, and interactions with other characters to define the personality part.
Definitely Wind Waker, up until Tetra turned into Zelda which magically stripped her of her spunkyness. But once she's back to being Tetra she's definitely the most badass of the incarnations. This wasn't Link and because of that we got a character that earned the triforce and rised up to be a hero.
OoT. Link's most masculine physique plus just look at how hard that version of Zelda pwns in Super Smash Bros Melee.
No big surprise. Uncharted 2 was "best of show" for a lot of media outlets at E3 '09, also. True gamers will make sure they have a PS3 to play this game (as well as Gran Turismo 5, Heavy Rain, God of War 3, Demons Soul...oh the list goes on)
Uncharted 2 also won MANY awards at E3 while the Alan Wait Impressed NO ONE. The 360 version clearly under delivered. It was supposed to be a great SANDBOX game which it no longer is because of the 360 limitations. So sad the 360 gimps yet another game.
White Knight Chronicles was the best game there.
I liked how M$ commented on Sonys long confrence while M$ confrence was boring and dull and only showed Fable 3 ;-D
Dont worry chatboxes they will show Milo again soon ;-D
Or you could make REAL FREINDS! ;-D!!!!!!!!!
