"many of the guys who are behind that stupid, constant crap are totally decent, open-minded human beings who just don’t realize they’re doing it"
The above quote has some dangerous logic. They don't realize what they are doing simply because they don't care. They don't let petty stupid issues get in the way of their everyday lives. I think some people read too far into things than they should. What if it's not always about male chauvinism and or sexism? What if it's just a poster of a woman? So what if it was too sexy... that was the theme of the poster. Brosie is kinda looking sexy too, but I bet you won't hear any complaining from the ladies. I guess the use of load and proud means he's for gays as well, and they aren't complaining either.
@shadow_Metroid Microsoft already made the split. Microsoft game studios and their Xbox team do not work with the Windows teams. This was done on purpose for the very reason listed here for Sony.
There's also no legal reason to continue the non-taxation of churches. And if logic serves me right, the church has killed more people than violent games. But I'm sure studies that prove church causes violence are going to be just as inconclusive as ones on games... unless you throw in child molestation... do a study on that and it would seem we should ban church altogether! But, we don't want to do that because not all churches are bad, and not all people are like that. So, if you think I'm going "too far" then they should back off of video games, because that's also going "too far".
WILL WRIGHT HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH THE FAILURES OF THE LATEST ITERATION OF SIM CITY. I'm getting real tired of peoples s*** about this. His original design of SimCity was paramount, spectacular. This made him such an industry luminary today. Listen to him, damn it.
People want multiplayer when none is offered, and people want better multiplayer or none if it has it. What I say: make the best game possible.
Spector probably doesn't know this game is a reboot of the franchise. There are more Tomb Raider games than Wolfenstein, and Lara's new debut was not that bad. Here hoping to an awesome Wolfenstein franchise reboot.
I've seen the preview on Wolfenstein, and here's to hoping machinegames breaks that trend in shooters Spector was talking about. I only half agree with Spector, narrative driven games like Mass Effect really did wonders for the shooter genre, and I'd love to see more of that. But he still forgets, or at least hopes to change the fact that publishers want to only publish games that sell. And that means giant robots and mindless shooters. Bethesda has made some risky decisions, but a very diverse amount of decisions. At least it's not EA publishing this game. I expect this to be as good as Dishonored, if not better.
Love where they are going with this. It's not a GTA clone, in fact it's everything you wanted to do in GTA but without realism tying you down. :P
Some people say this is a departure from the series, but I say it's a fresh take on the GTA-like atmosphere. It doesn't take itself seriously, and is comedy as a game. Which is definitely not an easy genre for games developers. I had many laugh out loud moments in SRIII, way more than any other gangster-like sandbox game. Here's to more fun.
