Looks like he's lost some weight. Good for him. Of course he'd have more time to exercise now that he's away from the uber projects.

Bah, everytime this guy opens his mouth I lose more respect for him. Guess it's sweet justice that he's stuck working on a PS2 PORT OF A PSP GAME.

In other news: Way to support your flagship console Sony.

he's an arrogant little prick who, when you listen to him, speaks as though he's carrying the weight of the industry on his shoulders. what the hell has he done? and now that he doesn't have Sony's budget to fall back on anymore, he's practically grovelling to come back.

typical.

Hmmm... maybe I'm completely off base but somehow a man who has said these things about himself and his games...

-B level, at best, game designer
-Nervous eater with weight problems
-God of War was a string of refining failures until it became a game
-Twisted Metal does nothing new besides being fun
-Mixing raw emotion with compelling gameplay is a skill that's far beyond him (in regards to the cancellation of Heartland)
-Loud, brash, and about as refined as your average Hell's Angel
-Lacks the patience and attitude to handle the larger games anymore

... doesn't come off as arrogant to me. But I keep forgetting, if you can critique other peoples work, that means you as a designer are obviously saying you are better. Actually no. It's just the typical "he thinks he's god" opinion people assume when finding his isolated quotes instead of doing things like following his blog the quotes were taken from.

Of most developers, he's in the top three most down to earth guys. Kevin Levine, Hideo Kojima, and David Jaffe. But of the three, only Jaffe would be the kind of guy you could meet at a sports bar and, over a few games of pool, have a three hour discussion on game design philosophies.

I agree 100% FidliousWong. Especially the bit about meeting him in a sports bar.

????

Whats the beef with this guy? Some of you claim that he acts like he holds the industry on his shoulders? How the hell did you get that idea?

I enjoyed reading the article. Guy seems to be pretty cool.

Some of you on here have the maturity level of a 10 year old...granted most of you probably are 10.

It's just the usual Sony bashing. I expect nothing less from the mouthbreather Joystiq crowd.

Yeah, I've noticed that about Joystiq.

Seems like Joystiq is full of immature fanboys. One of the main reasons why I don't normally post comments on here.

They may be immature fanboys, but at least they write at the college level.

Dear Akamaru,

We missed you at the last meeting. We'll make sure to have one of the higher functionings walk you over next time. You missed a great coloring activity, it was a drawing of a pot calling its kettle friend "black".

Signed,
The Typical Mouthbreather Crowd

who would have ever thought that "cod knocker" would be considered college level writing...

Hell, I'm going back to college. I'll pass with my eyes closed.

He can't appreciate the narrative of BioShock or Half-Life 2?

Perhaps because those games had stories?

face-angel

I respect his work but he tends to get drunk and talk like a deutsche.

BioShock - Game of This Gen So Far...

Okay no one has anything useful to say here. Just so you all know, I played the "new" demo a month and a half ago. The "premium item" is a T-Shirt with the "T" logo in green, and a silhouette of Turok himself inside the big "T" I didn't open the shirt from it's vacuum-packed state.. It's with all my other promo shirts like Tenchu, Mario Strikers, Galaxy, etc.. But yeah.. that's basically all it is. The demo is actually really fun.. The game is just as ridiculous as any previous Turok game, just with less explosions. Turok is nigh invincible, as his health regenerates insanely fast, and he can kill *anything* with the knife. From a few different angles, too. One of them, he jump up onto the dino's back, slits its throat, then jumps off and kicks it to the ground.. Oh and you don't only hunt dino's either.. you kill people, too. But the best part is you can trick dino's into attacking the other people, or either other dino's, with the flare gun that's for some reason attached to your shotgun... Oh, and yes, you get exploding arrows for the bow. XD
