Jim Avery: The unofficial Jim Avery E3 awards

Every year, every major publication puts out their "Best of E3" awards, celebrating the best games (or at least what they think will be the best games - see Scribblenauts) with accolades like "Best Shooter" or "Best Graphics" or whatever. The problem is, there is an unfortunate lack of awards for E3 itself, and the good/bad moments contained within; thus, I present the world with my personal, unofficial E3 awards, celebrating the gaming event that houses the games that win the awards that people slap on boxes. Perhaps this will give people a better idea of what E3 is really about.

Sonic Game Writers Had ‘Very Little Say’ On Story Scripts

The writing duo behind Sonic games like Sonic Colors and Sonic Lost World reveal they have little creative control over their game scripts.

-Foxtrot107d ago

They need to start letting people take inspiration from the comics, there's a ton of great stuff to take inspiration from.

My beef is why even hire writers if you're just going to control the whole process. I'd be very upset as a writer if someone did that. A job is a job though.

DarXyde106d ago

Performative for optics, I would think.

It's like the US Congress holding a vote to "denounce the evils of socialism." It literally did absolutely nothing about anything and was a complete waste of everyone's time (and tax dollars—which is its own irony, by the way)

Dumbest thing in the world, but if you hire writers, it looks like you made a serious effort to make something great.

Do you remember when the original Suicide Squad movie was coming out? How much did we hear about Killer Croc's actor watching cannibal videos to get into character? Or even the "incredible lengths" Jared Leto went through to personify Joker on and off set?

It looks better when people think you're taking it seriously.

Pretty much confirmed that SEGA controls everything about sonic no derivations fr

Sonic Colors on Nintendo DS - The Sister Release Also Worthy of a Remaster

The Wii release of 2010's Sonic Colors received a remake for modern consoles, but what about the Nintendo DS sister title?

ZeekQuattro271d ago

Back in the day you would get cases every now and then where the handheld version of a game was better. Chrono Trigger DS comes to mind. Not only did it have the cut-scenes from the PS1 release it also had new content that tied into Chrono Cross.

Dragon Quest IX's Heavenly Adventure Is Stuck In Purgatory

Dragon Quest IX was a quality JRPG, but it is only available on the DS, when every other game in the series has been ported to other platforms.

I'd love to play this. Couple things keep that from happening. I don't like portable gaming. I don't think my hands are huge but I bought a 3ds for braverly default and my fingers would cramp up after 20 30 minutes. Kinda killed it for me.

I hope they do port it but port it to everything. Not just the switch or whatever. I'm still salty about dragon quest treasure hunters being switch only. I really wanted that. I loved dq11. I know it's a different type of game but I like those types to

phoenixwing515d ago

Dragon quest treasures is also coming to pc

ZeekQuattro515d ago

He only cares about Sony products at the end of the day so he gets bitter when not everything comes to the platform. Doesn't matter what the game is at this point. Its the idea that non PS platforms also get exclusives timed or otherwise that rubs him the wrong way. 🤣

phoenixwing515d ago (Edited 515d ago )

@zeek I root for playstation but that shouldn't stop you from getting a pc or switch. Heck some ppl buy Xbox series and claim they want to play legacy titles that aren't on pc. I find that a little ridiculous but whatever floats your boat.

shinoff2183515d ago (Edited 515d ago )

Zeek

I prefer to game on my ps your right. Bitter idk u might be stretching it. I'm bitter cause Nintendo released and continues to sell broke a joycons. I'm mainly on the point of dq11 released on ps4 I bought it day one and re bought it on ps4 when the definitive edition came out. They decide to release this on only the switch while I've invested major time into 11 and would like more in it.

Say what you want this is a video game website where we can type messages so I'm just saying how I feel.

Also don't tell me how I feel. If a game comes to another and I'm interesting I have a right to say damn I'd like to play that on ps. I've been gaming for 30 years I know how going works not every game will come to my preferred platform. That's why I have all three. Just that I prefer again to play games on my Playstation. Tell Nintendo to come with some correct controllers next time and people wouldn't have an issue.
I have a ps switch Xbox and laptop with steam on it. I go by the same name on all of them

So in the end don't put words in my mouth ja

gold_drake515d ago

its the same with dragon quest 8 on the 3ds
i wanted the remaster for consoles too.

Melankolis515d ago

That's right. 3DS's DQ8 was not the port i wanted with all the jaggies and deforestation. I was really disappointed so i'm not finished with this issue, i want a proper port/remaster without graphical downgrade.

gold_drake515d ago

right?
like why did square even consider it? i mean, money yes. but damn. DQ8 is not a game you make for a handheld. ever.
