A Final Note: SCEA Slipping?

tmee3 — Mon, 06 Aug 2007 01:41:34 +0000

Lauri Hong

As we finalize our coverage for E3, I have to add just one more thing for everyone to think about. While taking a glance around the SCEA Booth, I had noticed that there was a PSP with an upcoming game of Warhawk sitting there by its lonesome. Curiosity had the better of me and decided to finally go up and try it. Upon attempting to figure out the controls and what not, I had decided to ask for assistance in regards to any information about the game. The booth attendant, however, was absolutely no help at all. I had asked the gentleman, general questions to try to start up a conversation regarding the game. His basic reply was, “Unfortunately, I don’t know anything about the game.” And walked away.

Like they say, the last impression that you have of someone or something, like a large Corporation (hint, hint, hint) is something that I believe is fairly important. SCEA’s decision to have an uneducated person manning the booth is very unfortunate. What I have gained from SCEA was not a pleasant one. It clearly shows a lack of organization, care, and knowledge.

Will they learn from this mistake or will they slip further down the ranks? Only time will tell.

Legendary: The Box – One Can Only Imagine…

tmee3 — Sun, 29 Jul 2007 05:38:14 +0000

Lauri Hong

Have you ever received a box of stuff and always wanted to open it right away? Like the saying goes, curiosity kills the cat right? Well, imagine that you’ve been sent to open a box. But it’s no ordinary box. You’ve been sent to open Pandora’s Box. Now, you can just imagine the amount of terror and chaos that you’ve just unleashed. As a thief, you are tricked into stealing this precious little thing, and of course as stated before, curiosity overcomes you. With what we thought of as mythical creatures, they roam the world showing their presence and destroying nearly everything. Can you imagine going against something as large as a Golem?!

Keep in mind that this new AI that Spark Unlimited has integrated into this game is quite unique. Instead of having mobs take certain paths that they usually do, don’t be too surprised if they decide to take other routes to get to you. So you can safely say that you will be hunted down and killed if you aren’t quick on your feet… or controller. Many times you’ll notice that there may be mobs coming from all sides. Who says a good challenge isn’t fun?! With this, you will of course have to make strategic choices like different weapons for different occasions. Not only has the AI become smarter, but of course you’ll have a controlled destructible environment especially for the mobs. (Too bad you can’t do any wrestling moves such as grabbing a chair and hitting ‘em over the head with it.)

All these extremities, including great graphics (using the Unreal 3 engine), how can you not want to get into all this mess? Not to worry, you won’t have to be totally alone in this crazy world. There will be a multiplayer mode. Overall, I foresee this becoming a great game. Too bad we have to wait till Spring 2008. But its worth the wait… AND it will be released on Xbox 360, PC as well as PS3! Keep your eyes peeled for it!

Sabotage – World War II All Over Again

tmee3 — Sun, 29 Jul 2007 00:29:26 +0000

Lauri Hong

Sabotage will transport you back in time to France. A time when the world was in total chaos during World War II. You are Violett, an agent trying to accomplish various missions. Interestingly enough, this action packed game is actually based on an actual agent. Violett will take you through various missions based on her memory. In doing so, the player will eventually uncover reasons why she is in the hospital. Listen to her narration as you succeed throughout the game. It may give you ides when you are in a bind. There’s also a unique move that the character is able to use on her opponents. This mode, the morphine mode, (great name, huh) will put you in a dream-like state so that you can change your position in order to have a tactical advantage over your enemies.

Another fairly unique system within this game is the fact that you have skill points that can be increased. Now, don’t start thinking that it’s like any typical MMO where you have to grind through mobs to get to these skill points. In fact, you’ll need to go through the game collecting medals to increase your skills. Also, keep in mind that you are able to upgrade 100%, that is IF you can find all these medals.

Keep in mind that you’ll need to pay close attention to detail throughout the game. Use the environment around you to you advantage, when possible. Such as… obtaining information through letters found scattered about (sound familiar?).

I believe this type of game will quickly suck you into hours and hours of play. There are certain parts of it where it reminds me of all the different games that I have enjoyed over the years of gaming. I look forward to picking up a copy myself. However, we’ll have to be patient since this won’t be around till September 2008. Sorry to those who would want this on a PS3 or even the Wii. This title will be available only for the Xbox 360 and PC.
