I still have hope for it.A lot of vaporware games turned out pretty good. TF2,STALKER and Prey for example.

Prey blew chunks, my friend. Ok, just an opinion, yeah I know. But they scrapped the original incarnation with my favorite band in the world on soundtrack duty (guess who?), and the portal gimmick blew chunks, especially after another portal-based game demonstrated how portals are effectively done.

Sorry, but Braid is certainly not the most notable game with rewind features...

Oh wait a second...Are you serious? Like really? You totally showed me the way. I would have never known that there are other ones - more notable out there if it weren't for your post that apologised to me for some reason.
...Thank you for that post. It really needed to be said (like mine? hehe)

Have you noticed how everybody's been ripping-off Halo recently? First GTA4 and now DN3D. Hopefully more games will use that feature.

I know not what you're talking about. Are you implying that Halo is the first with saved film capabilities?

The more companies that implement this feature successfully, the more happy I am.
I don't care who do it first or when, screw who rips off who. Its fun =p Plus, replay feature thing is actually in quite a lot of games - although I do enjoy it in Halo quite a bit.

Since when does GTA4 have saved films or screenshots? That was one of the disappointing parts of the game.
Still, Halo 3's films and screenshots are great, and I'm glad to see more games using them.

Yes, it also true but when you think "Console Game with Saved Films Feature", Halo 3 IS the first thing that comes in mind.Same way people always say GTA-like gameplay even though GTA was far from being the first sandbox game.

Starcraft didn't get a record/replay feature until one of its later patches.
But hell, who's countin'? Point's been proven.

Nothing makes a 12-year-old game better than a rewind feature.

I wish ALL games came with a rewind feature... then we could do away with stupid checkpoints, quicksaves, restarts, etc...

As long as the rewind mode is damn quick to go back, I'll enjoy it. Otherwise I don't see the need at all with either savegames or a checkpoint system.
