Obviously, this game is not for EVERYONE, as no game is. I, personally, think it' s gonna ROCK!

I enjoyed the demo, and I kinda like the frenetic action that it employs. Also, we don' t know anything about the story, yet, but from some of the gameplay clips that I' ve seen, it looks like it' s gonna be fairly interesting. They' ve spent some good cash hiring a Korean superstar to play the lead role, and I don' t think they' d waste money doing something like that for a game with an anorexic plot (though Driv3r kinda dispels that theory, but still...)

I guess we shall all see. When is the release date?

360 = running around, shooting things but not at half the PC gameplay levels..

I cant wait for this 1st/3rd person shooting Fad to go away.. It' s the reason why im selling my 360.. Nothing decent to play but dam pad shooters..

360 owners seem to be craving and giving developers more reason to dish out more uninspired 1st/3rdPS sequels instead of trying to be creative and actually push the gameplay boundries that the standard and ' old' Anologe pad has.

Reason why im selling this mutha (360), im seeing/playing hardly any creative games.

Even good old Capcom have gone westernised and turned to this shit..

Hey, what' s wrong with RE4?

There might be a lot of Shooters in the west, but you know there' s just as much JRPG' s in the east... Actually I even think the west have more variation in games, compared to the east.

I myself like shooters, even if it might not be my favourite genre. Also there are some mighty interesting shooters with much potential up and comming, Crysis, Bioshock, Halo 3... Also, I' m looking more forward to Bullet Witch than Gears 2. Yet, as of still all I' m interested in Wii is Zelda (plenty of reason) and Raving Rabbids, and with Ps3 all I can think of is MGS4 and FF13 (there are some multi plattform and possible commings, but those doesn' t count).

Now thats just being silly.

Anyone who been to Japan knows as soon as you step into the country that games are extremely varied covering areas from total wackyness to serious indepth titles...

Nintnedo and Sega of japan alone have covered Much more varied genres than all of the EA' s, Ubisofts or any other western developers you can name, put together with ease.


Dont get me worng, i can perfectly understand why people are loving their 360' s especially if your new to online gaming and decent FPs' s.. but for gamers like me, its all old news and extremly unexciting and uninspiring.. Especially after playing grand original games and game genres (new japanese game genres) on my DS.
Which is by far the best thing to happen to gaming in a long time.

Didn' t mean it like that, f3. I' m talking about how we in the west are " in general" more open to playing different ypes of genres.

For instance, I like shooters, but I like JRPG' s just as much. I play games from America, Europe and Japan, without thinking caring where they come from, only what they provide. The normal Japanese citizen however, doesn' t care much for western games, especially not FPS and shooter games. They tend to stick with games from their country, and their country only.

Also, I have been in Japan, as late as this past sumemr and will return there now in winter. And while my visit there I DID enter a number of games shops and not to my surprise there was an overwhelming amount of RPG' s and dating sims all around, whilst western games could be found in small, hidden corners.

oh yeah in that way your probably right..

In japan you certainly get more hardcore ' group' gamers who are just hardcore on one game in general but these groups range from all different games genres if know know what i mean.

But then again the DS being so popular in Japan kinda goes against that. hmm it is kinda weird

The japaneese invented Tamagotchi, that shows just how #¤%&ed up they are!


edit:


no wait! they made RE4, Dead Rising and Mario, oh and Zelda, and that makes them alright in my book!


I forgive you for the Tamagochi!


No i wasnt traumatised in childhood from a Tamagotchi that died!

Can you change the controls though? as the aiming is to stiff.
