Jan 1st 2008 4:19PM (Joystiq Playstation)From being stuck on the edge of cliffs and corners, to having enemies "jump/teleport" several inches, to having to manually power off my console due to some weird black debug screen that kept popping up every time I got in my ship and tried to go to the next planet - it was majorly disappointing. In fact, I've wondered if I somehow ended up with a bad disc, or something.
On the positive side, when the game plays, it's really pretty good, but it's definately not my favorite RAC game. I've been playing video games for near 20 years, and I have never seen a game with so many bugs.
Insomniac: I'm disappointed.
Street Fighter IV: first details revealed
Dec 6th 2007 11:17AM (Joystiq)I've got to say that my first reaction was "What have they done?" and then a millisecond later "That's actually pretty sweet looking." In fact, the more I look at the in-game pic the more and more excited I get.
Take a moment and just focus on the image of Ryu (because the background people look like crap currently). Now, I'm no 3D fighter enthusiast, so my argument could easily be countered, but I've never seen hair or eyes that look so sweet on a 3D model - cell-shading included. And that's the first step that is so comletely and wholly necessary to be able to sell this as a Street Fighter game.
In my mind Street Fighter has always been about 2 things: crazy sweet, impossible-looking, and down right psycho moves, and the hand-drawn, anime inspired visuals. And I've firmly believed that putting these characters in the third dimension would absolutely ruin the feel of the series. It's why I play 2D fighters, because I've never seen the same level of artistry (yet) that I expect from a fighting game when it's placed in 3D.
Then I saw this image and...man. It just looks so sweet! Have you seen the cross-hatching? I don't know what the gameplay is going to be like - and to honest, if they botch that then I'll have to pass and curse them for not making it completely 2D - but if it's anywhere as fast, or as complex as the trailer then Capcom really will have hit this one into space.
Count me impressed.

As for gamespot, good luck with that whole journalistic integrity thing. *See below*
