What? Huh? You are not me.

You are a Sonic fan not a SEGA fan.

WTF is this, I am a huge Sega fan and by far the biggest one on this site.

It's just an observation. You don't seem that interested in the games they make these days. Thus the Sonic comment as that's pretty much all you've paid much attention to apart from Bayonetta. You started off very anti-Anarchy Reign for example and your positivity almost coincided with its delay giving you a good reason to bash SEGA.

That is Platinum games, not Sega. Sega doesnt make anything anymore it seems. I got VF5 so I am happy.

SEGA is not just a developer.

Sega the third party publisher is nothing to me. I love Sega the developer.

Foolz said:

Then it all makes sense given that Sonic is the only game they make these days that you'd probably pay attention to. But it's not really a case of them not making anything anymore...well, now maybe that they've tried so very hard to bankrupt themselves.

They went from a company that made incredible games in every genre to just Sonic and Yakuza. They had Sonic, VF, Sega Rally, Nights, Ecco, Skies of Arcadia, Panzer Dragoon, PSO,  Shenmue, 2K sports games, Virtua Tennis, HotD, Crazy Taxi, Jet Grind Radio, and that is just  DC era. Where did they go.

Aspro, did you read the Saints Row article you posted? Do you feel a bit better now?

I like SEGA as a publisher and developer.  I get that they don't have the chops (or the money)  to make many games themselves anymore, but a good publisher can act as a benefactor/ curator.  Look at the work Atlus has done over the years in this regard.

I'm not sure who would be bringing Platinum's games to teh west if not for SEGA.  I guess (hope) we'll find out.  I don't think we'll see too many more coming our way.

Speaking of SEGA and Platinum... Holy Cow, I could not stop playing Vanquish this afternoon.  I don't like it as much as Binary Domain, but it is AAA quality and has plenty of innovation.  Mother F'n HARD as hell. I spent one hour and seventeen minutes on a boss about 30 minutes into the game.  But for whatever reason I just stuck with it until it was taken down.  If there are any of you out there that enjoyed Bulletstorm, I'd certainly suggest Vanquish to you.

GG games like GTA still cant populate a world like it is in reality.

Don't you feel like it's good enough as it is? I was never even thinking about having more crowds whilst playing. Wouldn't that just make the game more annoying to play if there was more traffic and people? You would be stuck in traffic and bumping into people non stop.

Imagine getting into a shootout on a bridge that is jam packed with cars, once the shooting starts every one jumps out of their car in horror, mass panic on the bridge, people swarming everywhere and you need to chase your enemy through this insanity. That cant be done yet.

That could easily be done IMO and I think you just gave Call of Duty an idea for a setpiece.

Halo 3 is one ugly game, looks last gen almost. That said its still a blast. Once the vehicles get involved and there are big open areas the gameplay starts to shine. So far its more like Halo 1 than Halo 2 so that is a plus.

Yeah I cannot believe people defending the graphics on this game when it launched. That said I prefer it to Reach which I sold but I kept this one as it's more like Halo 1.

Wii U is just as good as 360 stories... It's the biggest troll in the world to compare a console coming out in 2012 to one that came out in 2006.

Yerli isn't trolling, he's guessing. For a start from what I've read from him before (9 months ago?) he was talking about second hand info from Crytek UK, Free Radical. Now it seems he's not that involved with programming Cryengine 3 for Wii U, the story says he is estimating or guessing. And he's saying bare minimum, it's as powerful as 360 so the obvious inference is that he's saying that the current machines are capable enough already, Wii U can do more, hence he does not see what the fuss is about. It's 3rd parties that are adapting Cryengine 3 for Wii U, not Crytek and he says "it runs beautifully."

Having a powerful PC is basically like already HAVING a next-gen console. So yeah, Sony and Microsoft are going to have to give me a reason to care beyond lesser than my PC graphics and built in Kinect.

But Okami Wii was still blurry!

Don't forget about Smartglass, biyatch. You will cave.

Andriasang has PS2/ PS3 comparison shots of Okami up.

Cue GG saying he can't see the diference....

Except this time he is right

Hey, I didn't pan the screens before, I just find Okami to be excessively blurry with low res textures abound. So IMO even in HD it will never look HD super crisp.

Let me look at these comparison screens....

I can see the difference there because there is more colour and it's a bit crisper and in widescreen. I think if they compared it to Wii screens it would be harder to see the difference as it was already more colourful, crisper (yet still blurry as fuck) and it ran in widescreen too.

The screens from yesterday are better.

But like I said, the textures.... look at dat ground. In the end it doesn't matter how pretty the game looks because it's too long and ultimately boring. Edge agrees with me.
