So, here's the thing. The majority of gamers have already decided whether or not they're going to purchase Stranglehold. If anything, the question of whether or not to buy seems like a no-brainer. More after the jump.
TNB: It is thanks to all the developers and publishers who made these games a reality, though you didn't get what you deserve, your hard-work and zeal to do things outside the box will never be forgotten.
Demon Souls underrated ? I don't think so. 1.7 copies sold (VG Chartz) and often considered as one of the greatest RPGs of this gen. I think the game has the recognition it deserves and has nothing to do on that kind of list, in my opinion.
Demons Souls definitely shouldnt be on the list, fantastic game, I kinda prefer it to Dark Souls, although I prefer Dark Souls for other reasons, both SUPERB games
Singularity was pretty good and underrated, and Warhammer 40k: SM, its really fun online
Some of the best games are remembered as being amazing due to having such great characters. It takes a lot of effort to make a cast of characters truly likable. Have you ever considered how much effort goes into creating just one character? They are carefully sketched countless times, modeled and animated, voiced... Their personality is carefully sculpted along with the story, and eventually the character comes to life.
Sometimes, however, developers can get away with skipping some of these steps. Maybe it's a marketing cash-in on a famous figure. Maybe it's use of a franchise license. Maybe the developers were just fanboys of certain people like the rest of us are. Whatever the reasoning, the fact remains that recognizable figures have been finding their ways into video games for years now. Here is a list of the ten most stylized of these figures: the ten that have been blown up into something truly special.
Gackt has quite a few characters based off him in the Final Fantasy series, namely Squall and Genesis (and probably other games). Could have done a little better than mostly sports game spinoffs and pop culture games though, I mean come on, they're a dime a dozen.
I'm surprised they put Gackt's Bujingai character on the list instead of Genesis from Crisis Core. More people know about Genesis than Lau, tbh.
Reportedly, two Hollywood writer types are working on a script for the film adaptation to John Woo Presents Stranglehold, which was a sequel to John Woo's Hard Boiled. Full circle, man. Now Hollywood is trying sequels out as games before they make them.
Jeremy Passmore and Andre Fabrizio are currently writing the script (or "penning" it as the Hollywood Reporter likes to call the practice), but there isn't any news of casting. Nor is there any whether Chow Yun-Fat will even be a part of the film based on a game that is a sequel to a film.
Now if only someone will make a movie of Peter Jackson Presents King Kong: The Movie: The Game. It would be Peter Jackson Presents King Kong: The Movie: The Game: The Movie. Awesome.
Pretty cool, that reminds me, I need to finish Stranglehold at some point, pretty good game though.
well the game was actually pretty decent....wouldn't mind a sequel at all..dunno about the movie though unless the director of the game will also be directing the movie
Isn't Stranglehold based off the movie "Hard Boiled"? Or is it just a coincidence that they both include Chow Yun Fat and are directed by John Woo?
Wow, I believe this is the lowest score the game has recieved so far and totally unfair IMO. First the hate Mass Effect demo and now this? I'm beginning to suspect Destructoid's taste.
Man,what is up with people
None takes them seriously.
its a just a blog.
I played the demo on PSN, and about after playing it for about 15 minutes, I quit and deleted the Demo because it sucked so bad. Some of the slow motion stuff was ok, but it got old fast. It reminded me of Enter the Matrix a little but worse, and everyone knows how that game did.... unfortunately. I felt like I killing the same damn 5 guys 100 times.... I give it a 5/10
I was excited for the demo...played it but it seemed like dudes never stopped showing up. To me that isn't that fun to just run n' gun with a little table sliding. Not going to be putting any more time into this game.
