The Video Game industry has come a long way, especially in recent years with this generation of consoles. Each major company pushing the competition forward, bringing video games to where we stand today. A major question has been coming up, not only with fans, but also with publishers, who seem to be either for or against it, is the introduction of motion controllers. Is this the future of video games? Or will this die out in future years to come, being left in the dust?
“As a reimagining of a classic 2D platformer, Rocket Knight remains one of my favourite modern examples of the genre so let's see why.” - A.J. Maciejewski from Video Chums.
GL: "Staff writer Shaz reflects on his small library of physical games he's kept throughout the decades, and how a recent move made him nostalgic."
I lost my drive for collecting physical games due to many discs lacking the whole complete game. Instead, of collecting games I started collected figurines.
I am a collector have a room dedicated with a couple original arcade cabinets, physical game library, old and new consoles and controllers backlit with LED lighting. It’s very cool to have but with emulation being so strong and prevalent, I sometimes feel foolish because the hobby is expensive and like another said, the full game is not always on the disc. Could probably spend more wisely but I enjoy it.
Most games are usually on disc still. Of course you got you publishers that are hit and miss, Activision, ubisoft, ea, Microsoft, where the rest of the game needs downloaded.
With over 5144 games on the PS3, it is easy to miss out on some great games. Here are some of the best unknown games on the PS3.
I remember Stranglehold! One of the first DLC packs of its time. A bit expensive, but cheap by today’s standards.
Another PS3 hidden gems list, and yet again Time Crisis 4 and Time Crisis Razin' Storm get snubbed. Such fun games, that shouldn't be forgotten. If only we got a home port of Time Crisis 5: Mastermind Edition.
WET is something I wish they'd remake, they had so many great ideas but not all of them were executed properly
It had a lot of potential
Also Wanted Weapons of Fate is another game that had some new fun gameplay ideas.
a little of both. on one hand its genuinely a step towards the future, one the other it's alot of pure bandwagon jumping. i think companies greed and absolute lack of creativity will end up doing more harm than good. let wii have it's success this gen but release your own technology when you have something genuinely awesome to offer besides wii 1.5.
If it does things right, it's not a fad.
Only one motion control setup is a fad, and that one will offer nothing towards gaming. You can guess which one I'm talking about.
Sony's setup is one that will work, and there is lots that it offers without boundaries. As long as it gets good support from Sony and third party developers, there's nothing that should stop it. The Wii offers more functionality than Kinect. Both Nintendo and Sony have the right ideas in their offerings.
Without working with the games, which gamers care about, Kinect's popularity will fizzle out when the casuals get tired of it and developers come to terms with it's limitations.
Logically, Kinect is better put to use in computing applications and not wasted on limited gaming experiences.
the closest thing for us to feel like we really in the game is we make the motion instead of pre program setting with a push of a button command.
LAG is unacceptable for a true feel of control thus 1:1 motion control is the future for now.
Neither. It's not a fad because it'll never go away and it's not the future because it'll never replace a controller.
I'll never switch to motion control.
