There's enough fanfare in this trailer to make Michael Bay proud. Actually, make that a pre-CGI Michael Bay. Probably a film school-era Michael Bay. It has all the bombast and fanfare of a Michael Bay movie, just without all of the extremely fast intercutting and multiple explosions. We talked about Risk: Halo Wars back in January, and it's slowly but surely becoming a reality.
According to the game's website, it's due out in August 2009 -- which is right now, last time we checked the calendar. One word to the creators: give us a trailer showing some actual gameplay, and not just rotating views of the gamepieces and some concept art. Maybe you can even hire an aging celebrity to be in a commercial for the game, just like Milton Bradley did with Dark Towerback in the day.
so is sony milking MGS? 1, 2, 2 Sons of liberty, 3, 3: snake eater 4, integral, substance, subsistence, acid, acid 2, portable ops, iphone, and the other 3 that are on the way peacewalker, rising, and that arcade one.
Stop being a fanboy. People like you make ps3 owners look bad. I LOVE Sony, but I don't bash microsoft, because it's stupid and makes you look pathetic.
Ya know, calling out Microsoft for milking Halo isn't really being a fanboy (even if it is a fanboy saying it). It might be painfully obvious, but hardly fanboyish.
I went to you because I seen your name and wanted to see what you had to say, because I usually only read comments of people that are on here frequently.
Like turning Mario into an RPG character, a platformer, a tennis player, a race driver, an Olympics competitor, a painter, a pinball player, a baseball player, an elementary teacher, a minigame-fest, a referee, a fighter, a live-action movie star, an animated TV star, a comic book star, a golfer, a soccer player, a basketball player, a tetris master, and more isn't milking a character?
If you're going to harpoon Microsoft/Bungie for all the Halo media, then I suggest you also harpoon Nintendo for selling Mario out to anyone that will have him, otherwise you'd be a blind fanboy wouldn't you?
Most of the Halo series is great, most of the Mario games are great, many Sonic games were great, and many of the Final Fantasy games were great. All companies tend to "loan" their mascots out from time to time. How many versions of Monopoly has Nintendo helped create I wonder? How many cereals, alarm clocks, or candies have used Sonic to sell themselves?
I don't think Sony has any franchises big enough to have their own Monopoly or Risk game yet. If anything LBP would probably be the most recognizable game this generation, but that isn't as dated as Master Cheif or Mario.
longhorn, by your definition, ratchet and clank is really milked too. halo has had 4 games (including spinoffs) released so far. R&C has had 10 released, and the next is coming later this year.
"I don't think Sony has any franchises big enough to have their own Monopoly or Risk game yet. If anything LBP would probably be the most recognizable game this generation"
1 word: Kratos. i could ask a bunch of people on my friends list who sackboy is. half of them wouldn't know. i could ask the same question about kratos, and most would know.
im gonna be on here more dark wang, ive been on joystiq since 05 sucka but they deleted my account after i bashed justin 2 years ago. they gave me the banhammer those mother fuckers. neways yeah you milk a franchise dry when you begin to lack innovation and bungie was and fell behind the times by cod4. but they keep on shoving it in our faces with more of it. i just wish bungie would take a break from halo and in 4 5 years just blow our minds. like a good metal gear game.
Did I? "a basketball player, a tetris master...." I was referring to the Dr. Mario games, which are similar to tetris. Probably not the most accurate comparison, but I was talking about Dr. Mario.
Like I pointed out to you before, look at games like Ratchet & Clank, Metal Gear Solid, hell give God of War another year or two and it'll have a few more spin-offs. What about LBP? The only thing that's stopping them from milking that as hard as possible is its relatively poor sales, yes they've picked up recently but mainly due to the game being given away with every console and it being sold dirt cheap.
But if you think Halo is anywhere near as bad as Ratchet or MGS, let alone things like Call of Duty or Guitar Hero then you're clearly blind, a moron or a fanboy. But judging by the rest of your posts, I'll go with all three.
Well let's see, Kratos is showing up in the new SoulCalibur (+1 Milking), They're doing an Uncharted movie (that's worth major milking points), and Ratchet and Clank, well those two are everywhere. Either together or on their own. It's only a matter of time before they have some 3D animated movie out. Not that ANY of this bothers me, but it's all fact and it happens.
Please. ANY game..or any merchandise for that matter... that is successful gets "milked". It's called maximizing your profits and expanding your market. Longhorn thinks its better to just not make money. Guess that's why he's all up on Sony. ;) OOOHH.
