SFL Chronicle: Being a gamer for nearly twenty years, it becomes easier and easier to spot bad habits that developers build as time passes. This list is a simple set of do’s and don’t’s that I, personally, feel game developers should consider. And if you don’t think any developers will ever read this, therefore rendering my points moot, then I say to you: “YOUR FACE! What now, huh?!? What now?!?” Okay, okay! I jest!
Now, onto the list…
Capcom has announced that Resident Evil 4 remake sales are now at over 7 million units, Street Fighter 6 is at 3.3 million and more.
Amazon has announced its gaming lineup for May 2024 and it is one of the better months especially if you are an Amazon Prime subscriber.
I have Amazon Prime hardly ever use it and these games will not make me jump back to Prime.
Only use Prime for discounts on shipping.
Amazon
Games line-up looks Highly Promising.
Yeah if you Never played those games before.
or you just started gaming for the First time in your life it would seem "Promising "
Huzaifa from eXputer: "2008 was home to the likes of Call of Duty: World at War, Dead Space, GTA 4, Far Cry 2, Left 4 Dead, and many other hits, which is outright remarkable."
Just about every year in the 7th generation was great and something we most likely won't experience again.
2009 for example had Assassin's Creed 2, Batman: Arkham Asylum, Dragon Age: Origins, Uncharted 2, Halo 3: ODST, Killzone 2, Borderlands, Bayonetta, and Demon's Souls to name a few.
Good read, a few things I disagree with but over all very good article. Heads up though GoldenEye 007 was T for Teen. Spiritual successor Perfect Dark was M for mature. Can't wait for part 2.
Don't: Shoehorn MP where its NOT needed (Dead Space, Bioshock, Assassin's Creed etc...)
Don't: Release the same damn game every year/month (Call of Duty, Sports Games, Street Fighter, Marvel VS Capcom)
Don't: Fuck your fans over, Capcom! (New Dante, Ultimate MvC3, 3 iterations of Street Fighter, No Dino Crisis, Action-oriented non-Horror Resident Evil games, No localisation of Monster Hunter Portable 3/HD, Miles Edgeworth 2)
DO: play video games and have fun.
DON'T: be a fanboy
A good read, though I disagree with the point on cinematic games. I absolutely loved all the MGS games with their long cinematics and codec chats. I was interested in knowing more of it. I'm one of those who called up everyone on the codec every now and then to not miss a single optional codec conversation. These kinds of games are very few and far between, so I welcome them as long as they actually have good stories.
Very good list... every point made sense. The Shinobi (PS2) difficulty was a great example; ruined the game for me after the whole 'cursed sword' thing was dropped on you.
