Topic: Doctor Who The Eternity Clock

This is a no-brainer buy for me, a Who game that looks decent!!

I'll be getting the Vita version- though the disc is tempting. There's very little information it seems as to the difference in the PS3 and Vita versions though, there may of course, be no difference but . . .

Anyone with clues as to Vita specific functions-if any, please chime in.

So, Eurogamer gave The Eternity Clock a fairly scathing 2/10. And, as a game on it's own merits, I can totally see where they're coming from given what I've seen of the game- but also, they hit the nail on the head with what Doctor Who fans are willing to accept/put up with as content, as despite the scathing review, I'll probably still buy it.

Anyone here have anything positive to report of their experience with the game?

We'll have a review later this week. Should be... interesting.

You're not coming across as enthralled either James, I'm sure the license as a whole, the music the voices, the sounds etc will probably be enough to win me over.

I don't actiually own my own Wii or DS so haven't played any of the recent (terrible) games. So I'm due one I suppose.

I don't like Doctor Who so even if this was sitting on a Metacritic rating higher than Mass Effect 3 I wouldn't be excited

The Wii and DS games were appalling, though. Really, really appalling.

a 3/10 ouch looks awful anyway

It's getting a fair panning mostly. But then, you can't base what you may enjoy entirely off of reviews. The good Mr. Miller over at IGN gave Resistance Burning Skies a 5.5, a mediocre score for sure, and possibly deservedly so- but that doesn't mean it won't be an enjoyable game. There's plenty of games that have received bad reviews that I've enjoyed and vise-versa.

I fully remember the wonderful Lair being generally dumped on by the entire gaming press, but- despite the flaws of the majority of the game engine and front end (all recycled wholesale from Factor 5's Rogue Leader/Rebel Strike games), I really enjoyed it. And found the much maligned motion control to be as I'd expect a dragon to control (as if that makes real world sense any way). In fact- the later update (and as I'd found the controller 2/Remote Play workaround) that implemented analogue control took the shine off of the game.

My gf is a huge fan of Doctor Who, I bet she'll want to sit with me to play through this game. Shes also happy to know the writer of the show was involved with the game's script.

I bet if its as good as the show, its worth it for fans for sure.

So, no Eternity Clock for Vita this week. perhaps the poor reviews have prompted some polishing of the game before release?

ANy news on when this is going to get released if ever?
