Nyko has announced that a new version of its 'Zero' controller is set to hit the PS3 complete with rumble and motion sensing capabilities. They are marketing it as the first ever controller to offer the best of both worlds and it is due to be released in March 2008.
While some video games overwhelm you with sheer scale, titles like Asura's Wrath and Doom Eternal make you the boss player right upfront.
Wolfenstein: The New Order turns ten years old today, so we decided to play it again and discovered just how much of an extinct kind of game it is.
It's an outstanding game and so was The Old Blood. Also a lost era of gaming. Interesting, I received a physical copy of The Old Blood 9 years ago today from Poland. It was digital only in North America initially upon release so I had to import.
Wolfenstein: The New Order launched 10 years ago today, but can it stand up to the modern FPS titles it inspired?
I disagree. Its still a fantastic game, with very good gunplay and a surprisingly loveable cast of characters and a good story trough many different and interesting setpieces
All The New Order needs for my tastes is a this gen enhancement patch.
I played New Order a couple of years after launch and I give it an 8/10. The shooter holds up because it is focused on being a good shooter. There is no crafting, no RPG elements, no open world find the question mark Weapons are fun. Enemies are fun. Levels offer a nice mix of stealth and shooting. You get to be the predator; this isn’t a game about fending off waves of enemies while a robot companion unlocks a door. Most importantly, New Order is the last of a dying breed of single player shooters.
Singleplayer shooters are still getting released every year, just look up "boomer shooters" and you'll find an an abundance of them. AAA fps campaigns, not so much.
Last year had Trepang2, RoboCop: Rogue City, Turbo Overkill, Warhammer 40,000: Boltgun, Dread Templar, Sprawl and more
The games you mentioned are not from AAA developers. Wolfenstein likely had a budget that was probably as big as all those games you mentioned combined. I'm not knocking the new wave of retro shooters. I absolutely love them (I think some get much higher review scores than they deserve though). I just really wouldn't describe Wolfenstein as purely a boomer shooter based on the relatively cohesive story, with cut scenes and is fully voice acted. Full set piece moments.
AA development seems to be focused keeping the single player solo experience alive. But the big developers are only concerned about the MTX and milking players who enjoy multiplayer.
The age of AA shooters. I’m not saying it’s a bad thing. I like less expense, shorter games.
Weird all the Wolfenstein articles.
Can you guess what will be announced at Xbox showcase?
What Machine Games did with Wolfenstein franchise is awesome. The game play definitely to me , is still very fun to play !!!
is there a free in home 30 day trial?
no I'm not joking.
ok i am
pointless.. Nyko just needs to stop.. Thier only worth buying thing is thier 4 controller charger. .and the only reason its worth buying cause it doesnt take up a usb port.. Nyko is cheaper than ps3 made products.. but you get what you pay for.. The Dual Shock 3 is coming soon and its usuually a lil more expensive but at least it matches all your other controllers and doesnt look like a sore cheap thumb
I really like the design, but a lot of people say Nyko isn't well at making these things.
who cares about anything that the POS3 or Xcrap 3fixme release
the Wii is the future people- Sony and M$ are just going to scam you over and over again while Nintendo gives you what you want- which is great, fun games
I was just talking to my friend about how crappy the ps3 controllers are, I spend like 50 bucks every 2 months for one cause the analogs are fragile. It sucks cause i play alot of call of duty and when it really affects my aiming, specially when im sniping.
It says its got rumble with back lit lights? thats just sic dude,, my girl is always like,, what buttons square? now she can just take a second and look down,, sweetness,,,
The design looks good too,,, im not too flashy so i dont care about the dumb color scheme it has, but it looks like i might have a comfortable handle on the controler,, it would be so nice if they would put the trigger button on the R2 button, cause racing in burnout would be so much nicer.
