This is one of the games i am really looking forward to the next gen. Being a big racing game fan, it's something interesting about Driveclub that appeals to me. The social aspect of this is something already attempted in Forza and Need for Speed, but hasn't been completely succesful as of yet. This is something that really interest me in how they can use the potential. The game also looks really good and i hope it's as good as i think it is.

Watch_Dogs:

Watch_Dogs has an interesting open world concept. Making it a realistic story about hackers and crime. It seems like an interesting approach to a game, and it also looks like a next gen game. It also seems to give the player a big sandbox game to explore.

Assassin's Creed 4: Black Flag:

Even after the mixed bag that was Assassin's Creed 3, i am still looking forward to the new setting and what they can bring to use with the new gen. I also hope they go back to the formula what made the earlier games so good

The Crew:

This looks like a new take on racing and social gaming. It looks interesting and i am interested the depth of the game and what options you have in this. 

Battlefield 4:

Battlefield 4 looks really good with the new engine. Bigger maps, biggers scale and just more awesomeness. It looks like something the next gen consoles can really take advantage of. It looks amazing and i have been a Battlefield fan since the 1942 days.

Dragon Age 3: Inquisition:

This game is something i am really looking forward to. The series is something that stands close to my heart and has really been my favorite RPG with the Final Fantasy games. I hope they can really show us something special.

Star Wars: Battlefront:

I am so looking forward to this game, this is the game i am looking forward to the most. There have been doubts and whispers this ever being made. But it is! I hope it's as good as my expectations are for it.

Final Fantasy 15:

I hope this is also as good as the trailer and expectations are for this game. It's been a long time since we have seen anything. But it does look like it has potential and looks great.

When Namco Bandai stated last week that they'll be going in "guns blazing" and handle the upcoming sequel to their niche cult-hit Dark Souls as a "massive, massive" AAA release, it immediately put many Demon's / Dark Souls fans like myself on notice in regards to its future. The escalating potential of the series ultimately succumbing to a similar fate as that of Resident Evil, Dead Space, and all the other grossly misguided, bloated and compromised AAA commercial "failures" released over the last few years has become quite disconcerting for a good chunk of its modestly-sized yet fiercely dedicated fanbase.

In a recent post, Jim Sterling of The Escapist puts the legitimate fears of the game's fans and the broken mentality of AAA publishers into perspective quite well: click here for the video link.

The video pretty much covers most of my own thoughts on the matter. While I do cling to a mild amount of forced optimism that Dark Souls will somehow find a way to stay the exception to the same old tired industry trends, I'll admit it's getting harder and harder to ignore the writing on the wall. A part of me always knew the surprising success enjoyed by the series up to this point was like blood in the water, attracting corporate sharks who would inevitably seek to devour everything that made these games what they were.. all for the faint chance of being the next mainstream approved clone of the current western-developed cashcows. 

Aside from their growing number of overhyped failures, there is one thing that I can say AAA publishers have consistently succeeded at these days: making it loud and clear to any niche title's fanbase that their loyal patronage will simply never be enough. They've firmly established that it's just more important to them to risk everything in an effort to appeal to larger audiences that'll never actually give a sh*t about their games, than it is maintaining the fixed audience that actually does. To them, why settle on the revenue their franchises can realistically produce, when they can shoot for a grander piece of the pie they can never truly have outside of their own personal delusions?

As far as gaming goes, I've been pretty idle. I've been playing Shadow Compex a lot, love that game to death. Well worth $15. I finally got around to playing God of War 2 so I'm also thoroughly enjoying that. It has a very epic feel to it, great fun. Lastly, I'm playing a lot of Halo 3 online. I love all things Halo so this should be expected of me but this is the first time I've really felt attached to Halo 3 like all the other Halos.

Anyways, I hope everyone is doing well!

That's one of my all time favorite lines from Cast Away . Anyways.....

I just thought I would make a quick blog to let you guys know that I am in fact still breathing. It's been almost three months and I realized that I had gotten some new comments on my October blog lol.

I responded to the last few, sry if I missed any. I still can't figure out how make a space so that I can post multiple responses in the same comment without it all running together. This new html sucks.... Anyone know how?

Nothing important though. Third week of school and already had a test today.....ridiculous. But there is some good news. Some of the people that were banned have been coming back to the forums over the last couple weeks. Although a few of them claim they are vets but won't tell me the name of their old profile.....suspicious indeed

I actually skipped class today to watch the Obama inaugauration. Man can that limo drive any slower up to the capitol lol. It's supposed to be historic and I can tell people I saw it so I thought wth it's only one day of class

Well guys hope that wasn't too long. Hope your holidays were fantastic! Good luck and God Bless!!!

The past couple of months i have bought about 10-12 games and have hardly played any of them. I have had Resistance 2 for nearly two weeks now and have still yet to even take the disc out of the box. That was just an example basically all the games i have bought lately are similar or i might of put an hour or two at most that is it.

This is why i have i wouldn't say grown out of video games but i just don't have time for gaming anymore with work and my social life which has been very busy and i just don't get drawn to play video games anymore.

This holiday i think will be my last big holiday season for gaming after buying around 10-12 games and not really playing any of them i think while the hobby has been awesome it has come to an end for me. I'm sure i will still play video games but it will probably only be an hour or so a weekat best.

This is it then im leaving Gamespot i will pop in every now and againand it will be the same with gaming i will be online every now and again that's it though.

The storyline is much, much darker(and it's reflected in the art style). And this time around the story is actually halfway decent... Not really generic "lol im gonna take over teh world in my darth vader-esque outfit." So far, I'm on chapter 25. Haven't started 25 yet because I'm gonna go play SSBM for quite a while.

FC is 360901-546203. Comment/message me if you added me. I'm up for 2v2 against computers or 1v1.

Also: Elite Beat Agents is a pretty dang amazing game.

RANT SECTION:

GAMES

new extended FFXIII trailers should be floating the net already, they come from the Square Enix DVD entitled CLOUD. If you cant find them then try kotaku.com, they are on there.

MUSIC

If anyone knows where to get the song Sour times by The Blank Theory I would greatly appreciate it. Its possibly the greatest cover song ever, originally from Portishead.

NEWS

I pretty much covered this section in my rant .

RANDOM

I wonder which physics engine is better, Havok from HL2 or the one used in Crysis?

...was the time it took for me to complete Shadow of Destiny (PS2), the shortest game I have ever played. Even though the game has several endings, it left me wishing for a longer story. Shadow of Destiny is fun while it lasts and the story is good, but it could have been so much more than just 3 hours and 40 minutes.
