So the option to create a female character in Fable 2 (a game where character creation and immerse is a focal point) was only included at the behest of the (likely few) women on staff? And there was a sex mini-game that had to be replaced by a black screen with moaning? I mean, c'mon, are the people designing this stuff a bunch of fat comic book guys who know not the touch of a woman, tittering at the idea of a sex mini-game?

It's cringe inducing.

Mass Effect went about as far as you're going to see for the next few years after that ridiculous backlash from the know-nothing media.

 

[Blimblim]

is it the game, or the recording equipment?

More than likely the game. It better be locked at 30 fps when released...

 

[LaneDS]

So incredibly disappointed at what they've decided to turn Banjo into. Might be a lot of fun, but I don't understand why they decided to try this stuff with this series.

 

[BenjaminBirdie]

Is it fair to compare it to where Ratchet Future was at this point?

If you want to, go right ahead.

It seems like there are pretty vast differences in terms of scope and interactivity but, sure. Go nuts.

 

[MMaRsu]

Ugh gamevideos.com is still such a slow piece of shit website

 

[WrikaWrek]

Oops

 

[Community Forum]

Where's the waggle controller?

 

[Dirtbag]

No because Ratchet Future was from the ground up supposed to impress just based on visuals, since that game is nothing BUT a rehash.

And rehashes, i guess, just reach a certain point in performance faster than other games.

wow

*waves goodbye

 

[batbeg]

Look, it seems every journalist, including me, wired and 1Up, really enjoyed Banjo. Shouldn't that tell you something about how this game actually plays, instead of just trying to imagine how you will like it based on screens or videos?

Well, I give up... you'll see in november.

Most people seem positive about this anyway, there's just your few stragglers who of course will be disappointed by the changes. Give them time, maybe they'll like it.

There are more and more reasons for me to get my own 360 instead of just using my girlfriends this year. Dammit, money

 

[Mifune]

That's a bummer about TH. I've always seen the game as a single player experience first, but goddamn maybe SK shouldn't have touted the 4-playerness in every article, interview, video, etc. since the game's reveal.

Core gameplay and storyline still has me excited, though.

 

[harSon]

So it's OBJECTIVE when you haven't played it and you post "looks great!", but yet it's NOT OBJECTIVE when people that haven't played it post that it looks like dogshit? Riiiiiight.



Yeah, sucks to be them. Where's Cry On btw. :lol

Was an example. Remove legal troubles and you basically have Mistwalker, yet to swear by their games?

 

[BigBlackGamer]

Where's the waggle controller?

packed in with the wii?

 

[TheOddOne]

Well any wordt about Scene it 2 or Ninja Game?

 

[Gowans]

just reading the 1up preview and I think this screen is my fave so far

the bunnys !

 

[duckroll]

So are we sure Ninja Blade wasn't suppose to be just Ninja Gaiden2 in the press kits? (maybe just some low-level fuckup that we blew out of proportion)

Yes, totally sure. It'll be at the event, or I'll be committing ritual suicide.

 

[fse]

ah seems the 1up special video has no tearing in banjo imo.

 

[gregor7777]

So incredibly disappointed at what they've decided to turn Banjo into. Might be a lot of fun, but I don't understand why they decided to try this stuff with this series.

I wonder if your type (those pining for pure platforming) are in the majority these days or those of us who absolutely detest 3d platforming?

It's an honest question. I can't think of a worse game design decision than to go 100% platforming, but of course the sales of several big name games recently tell me there are plenty of you out there.

 

[MMaRsu]

Well to be honest I'm really dissapointed in Banjo 3. There was waaay too much vehicle action in that trailer.

I rather would have had a normal platformer..There aren't enough great platformers nowadays

 

[TheOddOne]

Yes, totally sure. It'll be at the event, or I'll be committing ritual suicide.

Ohh boy.

 

[harSon]

Is Hub City the only level in Banjo?

 

[BenjaminBirdie]

I was very excited about GTA4 multiplayer before release. I haven't touched it yet. In terms of loot and skill trees and stuff, I'm usually more of a play late at night and grind away while the house is asleep kind of player, so I probably wouldn't have played that much four player.

But I can see how many would be disappointed by its exclusion.

 

[FFChris]

What about LIPS and Scene It! 2 though.

 

[BruceLeeRoy]

just reading the 1up preview and I think this screen is my fave so far

the bunnys !

I love the ground and the trees just makes me so happy inside.

 

[OverHeat]

Cant wait for NG2, Fable 2 and GEARS 2 the rest I will wait and see.

But I think as far as graphics go the 360 as reach is peak.......

 

[pswii60]

Are you comparing games, tanod? Did you forget Rule #1?

 

[watership]

It's funny how everyone is jumping to conclusions on Too Human. Oh wait, that's been happening for 2 years now.

Most unfairly maligned game ever. Lair never received this much pre-release hate and it was utter garbage.

 

[WrikaWrek]

wow

*waves goodbye

Waves goodbye why?

He brought up Ratchet, he asked a question. People answer it.

Edited previous and this post.

Better safe than sorry. He brought the game up though, i forgot about the whole comparison thing

 

[duckroll]

Was an example. Remove legal troubles and you basically have Mistwalker, yet to swear by their games?

Huh? So because I bought 3 games they made I swear by them? Did you miss the threads where I created just to discuss why they're such fuckups? Did you ever see me going "HEY GUYS LET'S BE FAIR AND BALANCED AND WAIT FOR THE FINAL GAME"? Fuck no.

 

[Firewire]

Rare are desperate, Firewire, desperate to impress you.

Somehow I doubt Rare is all that desperate, but maybe some of their fans are?

Is it fair to compare it to where Ratchet Future was at this point?

I don't think Rare is trying to achieve the same things that Insomniac had in mind for Ratchet.

It says enough.

 

[Kai Ozu]

I'm done with the press kit. Ninja Gaiden 2 images, I think some are new?

[gregor7777]

based on what? pure, uninformed speculation?

 

[Proelite]

Is Hub City the only level in Banjo?

It's one of six. Each level is 16 times bigger than the largest level Rare has ever done.

 

[OverHeat]

sigh

It work

 

[soldat7]

Really? Then why were you posting in pretty much every single Too Human thread in the past few months?

I'm sorry, it's just weak and lame to throw around the "you know im barely interested in this" bull-fucking-shit to make your statements sound more unbiased and credible. When people do that around here, bad things happen. It's considered dishonest and sneaky.

There's nothing wrong with being a fan of something that's unpopular on GAF, but the last thing that should be supported is behavior where fans can go around pretending they are fair and balanced.

I'm glad you know me so well. Playing my PS2 for the first time in years these past few months has made my interest in many games such as Too Human wane. Opinions on games that are unreleased change my friend. Am I interested in Too Human? Sure, but when you compare my interest in Too Human to the plethora of other games coming out this year, that interest begins to fade, to the point where as of today, I don't care if this game comes out this year or next. I do find attacks on Too Human as a GAME to be premature.

There is nothing dishonest or sneaky about my opinions or posts. I have said nothing unfair or unbalanced about Too Human or any other game nor have I resulted to using lame character attacks.

Srsly, wtf is wrong with you people?

 

[Deepblue]

This game will own us all.

 

[Naeblish]

Checked with MS.

Too Human is officially August 19 for NA, the August 12 date on the game's website is an error.

http://www.shacknews.com/onearticle.x/52656

August 29 for Europe.

Arggg... for fuck sake.

Dammit, we try to get more mods on here and they just keep managing to pull disappearing acts.

Yea, exactly what they said about Gears 1. Peaked out alright, right. What a stealth troll bro. :lol

NEEDS MOAR GRAAZZ!!

 

[Princess Skittles]

Urm, It's probably more to do with ratings and what's currently acceptable in video games. Did you see the Mass Effect media storm?

Mass Effect went about as far as you're going to see for the next few years after that ridiculous backlash from the know-nothing media.

Sigh. You've both missed my point. ;___;

What Mass Effect did was tasteful, at least, from what I've heard, please correct me if I'm wrong.

The Fable 2 guys wanted to make it a mini-game. How much more immaturely could you handle the subject? I'm just imagining some slob going "Look guys, I'm pressing the A button to do it faster, hur hur" as he's dribbling onto his mustard-stained convention t-shirt.

 

[BigBlackGamer]

NG2 NG2 NG2 NG2.

 

[OverHeat]

lllllllllol me a 360 troll
yeah right...

 

[jibblypop]

I was so hyped for Banjo but after seeing that video I'm just not sure what to think. I was hoping it would be straight up platforming but it appears that the focus is on driving around a bunch of vehicles you build.
The graphics look fantastic and charming though so I wouldn't want to judge the game before playing it.

As it stands at this moment though I feel kinda disappointed. Hopefully I'll be proven wrong with the final product.

 

[duckroll]

I do find attacks on Too Human as a GAME to be premature.

You didn't answer. Why is it okay for people to say positive things about what has been shown, but not negative things. Come on.

 

[watership]

Wow. Saving this post for later.

When one can argue that Gears 2 is the best game looking game shown this generation, I have no idea where that claim comes from.
