Re: Maisie Williams: Hell Yeah! I'd Love to Play Ellie in The Last of Us Movie

Raimi is a good director, just look at his career. The Evil Dead series itself is full of black humor and slapstick comedy to the point of not being strictly horror. TLOU has some comedic relief, so I can see it working if he's more tacit about it than in Drag Me To Hell (lol). And his Spider-man trilogy was just weird, but The Quick And The Dead was pretty serious in tone. The movie is years away, though!

Re: Review: Driver (PSone)

charlesnarles

@AlexStinton I own it, but felt more compelled to play GT4 when it was new. It is fun to be able to set up crashes via his weird power, and the 1st person driving was ahead of it's time

  • "We're not tools of the government. Or anyone else. Fighting was the only thing I was good at, but at least I always fought for what I believed in."
  • "I'm going to send you a love letter, my dear. Do you know what it is? It's a bullet... straight from my gun to your heart."
  • "Snakes don't belong in Alaska!"
  • "So YOU'RE the one the Boss keeps talking about."
    Etc 😝 now I gotta play it again for the millionth time

Re: Rumour: Sony's About to Get Really Aggressive in China

charlesnarles

@3Above that's a good point, lots of new people to pitch ideas means influx of content. China's always boasted tons of history and cultural influence; it'll be interesting to see them turn from a homebrew gamer culture into mainstream and how that will affect the industry worldwide. Can't wait for "CRPGs" from Studio Shanghai etc. (I love my Dingoo A-320 btw, and we'll all be driving Chinese cars in 5 years😜)

Re: Watch PlayStation's Iconic Controller Evolve in Front of Your Eyes

charlesnarles

I don't mind ds3 at all after using ds4. I like how the ds4 has longer handles with the grey texture while the black of the controller is similar to ds3 in length. I do miss the raised Start and Select buttons, but they're just trying to have continuity between ds4 and Vita so I forgive that tiny irk. Tekken 3 on an og ps1 controller, good times

Re: You'll Be Seeing the New Metal Gear Online for the First Time Next Week

charlesnarles

@DerMeister MGS4's was unbelievable. It played completely differently from COD/BF, more similar to TLOU's online with all the sneaking and CQC. There were great modes like stealth camo deathmatches where you'd only see guns floating around, and a good variety of levels from the story plus new ones. Matchmaking was the best/worst part tho, cause it took forever but was always a challenge to survive. I couldn't be more excited

Re: Wait, There's a New PlayStation 3 Firmware Update?

charlesnarles

I haven't played ps3 for a week which is a record. I have more games left to play than I have room for so I've been buying ps4 games digitally (same install size, so no boxes etc. doesn't bother me). My old fatty 60 gig will be used for another gen for sure, I'm glad they're supporting it

Re: Dragon Age: Inquisition's Producer Reckons Skyrim Changed the RPG Genre Completely

charlesnarles

What about the GBC Pokémon games? Blue was my first RPG, and gold/silver also did well. I love to hear that Skyrim sold 20 mil copies, but I never thought it'd be anyone's first RPG experience, if you can call it that. Game #5 is pretty late to get into the series. You wouldn't get any references or get the tone, necessarily, although I guess it wouldn't hurt to play them backwards. Please remake it for ps4 for us!

Re: Who Let the Dogs Out? Watch Dogs has Shipped 9 Million Copies

charlesnarles

I got it day one and was disappointed in the unrealistic car damage (even GTA4 does it better), the redundancy, and getting hacked isn't fun to me at all. I'm gonna finish it some day, but I'm saving GTA5's main ending for ps4 cause it's not a chore to play (usually). Can't help but compare the two, and GTA has better gameplay hands down

Re: Rumour: Grand Theft Auto V on PS4 Will Sparkle in 1080p

charlesnarles

@seeafish for me, even more frustrating than the skippy framerate is the slow rendering resulting in traffic signs appearing in front of you out of nowhere if you drive too fast... Even at ~30fps the system will improve every aspect that the devs haven't specifically redone or added, which are supposed to be really well-done. I'm gonna try to preorder for the million bucks

Re: Weirdness: 16-Year-Old Makes Minecraft in Trials Fusion

charlesnarles

@ReigningSemtex I just don't get why video games are immune to contemporary hardware and software inherently being improved. It's not like there aren't a jillion "crappy-looking" fps and sidescroller games to play from the 90s if that's what you like (notwithstanding somebody having played EVERY game that's been made). Not losing sleep, but earning the same as someone doing less work always sucks (tho my original point is about dev being a form of artistic expression, so it's pretty unfair of me to compare in the first place. I only mean that creating a piece of art takes effort, and it seems like MC stumbled upon a non-proprietary feature of normal game dev)
