"I understand the merits of an underwater city, teaming with life born out of decay. I love the mix of abilities and weapons (even more so in Bioshock 2 with the ability to dual wield). What I wasn't so in love with was the pace of the game or the fact that I got lost every five minutes. Also, it was too goddam dark. Bioshock Infinite seems to answer quite a few of these complaints with tweaks that only Irrational Games could pull off. They treated journalists to a sneak preview of Infinite's campaign at E3 2011 in Los Angeles and many of us walked away saying 'woah.'" - Daniel Bischoff gamerevolution.com
Twinfinite: “War may never change, but the prices of rare games do!”
"And lastly, famous Boston Red Sox pitcher Curt Schilling helped to create the action-RPG’s setting. What’s really fascinating, though, is that the game was partially financed by taxpayers from Rhode Island (which allegedly lost the state millions of dollars). Yikes!"
1. Now infamous Schilling
2. No allegedly, it did. And they couldn't pay it back.
3. What really lost the money wasn't the SP release but the MMO they were working on. This was supposed to be an introduction into the MMO world.
I hate counting limited editions for these lists. I mean, they're made to be rare and expensive. It's far more interesting to hear about the NCAAs (even if most people know that one already) and the El Chavos than some massive hit that came with a $200 statue at retail.
Me too. Here's the best I can do:
El Chavo Kart $90.14
NCAA Football 14 $87.72
Spiderman: Edge of Time $75.94
Spiderman Web of Shadows $75.09
Spiderman: Shattered Dimensions $67.76
Wow, El Chavo Kart is not at all what I expected by the name. 100% looks like a Sackboy Kart game.
It's so odd that so many Spider-Man games are seemingly given lower print runs, even if they're not the best games.
Most Xbox games don’t hold as much value compared to other systems. Kameo, Blue Dragon, Last Remnant , and a handful or 2 of other games that I kept.
One of the biggest TV and movie tropes in the last decade has been the multiverse, the idea of exploring multiple dimensions to uncover alternate versions of existing ideas. From both a business and creative perspective, it makes sense why established franchises are shaking things up in this way.
However, there aren't many video games latching on to this trend, as rendering multiple worlds in real-time is a difficult feat and the medium is relatively young in comparison to its contemporaries, making crossover opportunities more difficult. Still, there are a few great titles that manage enough to overcome these challenges, and here are some of the best examples.
While I love someone mentioning Planescape, not really multiverse. Planes and dimensions, yes. But, they are typically their own locations and are very rarely tied to another 'verse' let alone another plane. The only things that are directly tied are the ethereal and material planes. Otherwise, they are dimensions created of their own design and goals by the creator/owner and not comprised of 'their own version of another dimension'.
See what a side-by-side comparison of Clockwork Revolution vs Bioshock Infinite looks like.
Hell yeah
This game looks so great.
WHOA.
Bioshock was the best game I've ever played in my life.
It's shaping up that Bioshock Infinite will be the 2nd best game I've ever played in my life.
Gotta love Ken Levine, and Irritional games.
This is pretty much my pick for best of show, although, I may be a bit biased. I love Bio1 and 2, and this just totally blew my mind, the combat is so fast paced and the gameworld is so vivid and detailed, it all looked so fantastic. I left drooling and complimenting all the devs in the room - can't wait
Wish I had time to see it at E3, but from what I'm hearing I can also add a "Whoa."
