Whatever Mistwalker is working on for Wii U..Nobuo is working with them now just confirmed. Not a big surprise as he has everything else. Does get me excited. Mistwalker gives me the same feels Squaresoft did in their heyday.

^Sorry for sounding harsh, but...Fuck Tomb Raider, where's the new Deus Ex game at?

Ken Levine still trying to make a Bioshock on Vita happen.

“I am literally trying to make a match between the parties,” he told me. The parties in this case are Sony and Irrational’s parent company Take Two, Levine elaborated. “They have to agree and it has to be a business deal. I’ve been trying to do that for a very long time. I’ve still very much engaged in that. I can’t personally greenlight the thing myself.”

“I have conversations,” Levine said. “I’ve talked to all the parties in the past couple of weeks.” So it still sounds like a handheld BioShock experience on the Sony portable is a thing Levine is trying to will into existence. But, it’ll take some sort of agreement between the powers that be at two video game mega-corporations to actually make the thing happen.

Got to love the guy's tenacity on making it happen. Sounds like Take Two and Sony are both being dicks about it.

It's almost like Sony want the Vita to die, or something.

[Segata Sanshiro Jr.]

Fuck Bioshock too, both those games miss the point of why you make a game, didn't really make a lot of money and somehow people liked them.

Also when you get to high levels in corporations, you get to some batshit crazy people. Levine isn't exactly "normal" but theres people way crazier then him.

BioShock is better than most FPS games this gen. I liked it. Not played Infinite yet, might pick that up next. Hopefully it'll be better than The Last of Us.

I totally love Bioshock 1, its infinite thats dogshit. The story appropriates races without actually knowing much about what its using then tries to make a statement about racism. The AI is beyond shite, there were points ON HARD, where I'd find enemies staring at a wall.

All of these gritty AAA games that are trying to make statements are kind of shitty. They all get a pieve right, but none of them actually delivers on what they're going for.

[Henry Spencer]

Right, unfortunately I didn't like what I played of The Last of Us either. The characters were just so unlikeable. The intro showed such promise and then the characters are just wankers. We're supposed to sympathise with them, clearly, but they're just...horrible.

That guy was begging, pleading for his life; they then kill him and all he did was sell some guns off to people they then work with so suddenly anyway (who were their enemies) to achieve some vague as hell goal? WTF? Am I the only one who found this retarded?

Does it honestly get any better or have I just wasted £35?
