| Bodhesatva said: Interesting stuff. I think the Metroid Prime conerns were particularly worrying to me. I don't want my FPA to have its design philosophy significantly altered. It was odd that John Davidson said that there are more Halo fans than RTS fans. Heck, Starcraft alone outsold Halo 1 and 2. Maybe he meant something else? I dunno. There Little Big Planet preview was a little disappointing to me, too. I was waiting for opinions, but their basic position was: "This game is very customizable, and that's cool, but it's really hard to tell how good it will be until we see what's really possible when thousands of players combine tens of thousands of hours of collaborative work." It's understandable, just looking for more on that game. They also said that "not many people" are excited for Assassin's Creed. Maybe they meant their review staff? Because it seems lots of people in the general 360/PS3 populace are very excited for it. |
I'm happy that Metroid might solve the FPS controls for the Wii, but don't care as much now that I know console FPSes will finally get mods and keyboard/mouse support (well, UT3 at least).
I assume John was referring to console RTS fans, but I could be wrong and therefore he would be as well.
Assassin's Creed hasn't shown much except for that chase and did have some problems with detections from 5 feet away. I'm still excited about it, though...but I think a lot of people's excitement has faded a little.
