Joystiq interview: Heavenly Sword's Nina Kristensen
Jul 1st 2007 8:59PM (Joystiq)Definitely hack and slash. Can you do combo's in an FPS? FPS's gameplay is not stylish. And why almost every FPS used to be either WW2 or Alien related (but not both at the same time, or neither)? Except some of the (either past or upcoming) groundbreaking ones, which were few (GoldenEye, Resistance, Bioshock, The Darkness, Haze, Timeshift) .
Anyway, that's why it really bothered me to see Ninja Gaiden as an exclusive on the first Xbox. That didn't even make sense! It was a japanese game made for the japanese. Surely Tecmo wanted to sell a lot more in japan by making Sigma solely for PS3, but it backfired on them by not really making it back with tons sales; and why should the japanese tolerate a 3 year old relatively enhanced port from a console they hated? The Japanese surely care about loyalty (See: Nintendo VS Sony and Square in the nineties).

Jun 9th 2007 7:25PM (Joystiq Playstation)Sony nominated: best new IP, innovation, publishing hero
Jun 9th 2007 7:23PM (Joystiq Playstation)Seriously, Sony will take care of this, you know how? Doing absolutely nothing, since they're not infringing anything. I hope this backfires with some hate against that church, just for spite.
Killzone devs say they'll shut up the critics

Today's kampfiest video: Hitler gets his Xbox Live account banned
Jun 8th 2007 1:49AM (Joystiq)I wonder what the video would be like if Hitler had gotten a red ring of death. Even worse, having to deal with Microsoft Customer support...
Free Radical says PS3's power locked away, demands key
May 29th 2007 8:34PM (Joystiq Playstation)"The Darkness" will make good use of video, not simply "cut-scenes" but in-game screens will display video.
The point about cut-scenes is not only narrative, but also doing things that can't be done solely with the in-game engine.
Besides, you shouldn't limit developers as in "You can do everything; except cut-scenes of course. THAT you can't do". Blue Dragon uses that a lot, and while it's a multiple disc game (because it's linear), it's kind of proof that you can't do everything without CG (or rather, there is market for that).
Developers of GTA4 were struggling to fit that game on 360, and it's well known it is not a linear game. I doubt it was because of "cut-scenes", I don't even remeber video on GTA3, and I doubt 4 will have (unless they add TV shows, which would be a very nice addition). Anyhow, it's not simply about having 50 gigabyte or 25 gigabyte games only; it's about having more than 9 gigabytes on a single disc.
As for loading times, they are a non-issue, since there's the HDD to rely on. Developers should not be lazy like they were with motorstorm.
