Same Engine? Same Gameplay? Same Basic Features? In a New Game?

So for you a new story is not enough to make a new game? many of the things that you said are expansions an not true squeals are bigger than the first. How is it bad to use the same engine if it worked well? No every company needs to try and do things like final fantasy where they have nothing to do with the prior games at all. Uncharted 2 was leaps and bounds above the first yet you think it's a handful of additions? There is a whole new story new places new puzzles new characters but it is a very different game from the first. Plus the whole addition of multiplayer. If you are calling Killzone a Halo Clone you have a very wide definition of clone. Might as well try and say any first person shooter is a clone of other first person shooters. I didn't hear you call uncharted a tomb raider clone yet to some that's what it is. Personally I've been rather happy with the last few years of gaming and looking forward to the next few as well. If a game reviews well that I'm not interested in I'll still not be interested in it. If a clone of a game I liked looks good and different enough from the original why not? If it's done well why not enjoy it.

Because I play a video game, if I want a story I read a book or watch a movie. I didn't say they shouldn't exist, I said they should be expansions to the old game, and priced accordingly. Also it's because of people like you that gaming is becoming a joke and good games are so far and in between nowadays.

Well i think you should learn the definition of an expansion pack then kid.

An expansion pack just adds

extra modes.

options,

missions

Need base game to play expansions

 

A sequal is

Better graphics

A new full fledged story

Dont need to own the previous game to play it

 

 

 

If you can tell me a way you could tack on Uncharted 2 to Uncharted 1 then please tell me because i would love to know. You would see the difference in gameplay and graphics for a start. Not to mention the places you go. You is whats wrong with gaming today. Not us. If we dont mind supporting a dev for a good sequel.

to me sequels>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Expansion packs.

In many sequels the engine is "tweaked" that much that the engine becomes unrecognizable. So really by your defintion of an expansion pack is that going through one section of a game and the other "expansion pack" can look completly different graphically because of the magour improvements to the engine. Making the game in essence broken?
