• Capcom: "excessive outsourcing" has resulted in a "decline in quality"

• lostlain 18/04/2013

  I love capcom, but I do think there has been a decline in quality over the last few years :( The last game from capcom I loved to death was.. (don't laugh) Onimusha-dawn of dreams. Reply 0

• Zone of the Enders HD Collection review

• lostlain 12/11/2012

  I can't believe how much the gaming media is getting this wrong. Just about every review has stated the framerate, saying that the PS2 one had an amazing frame rate. However even the US NTSC release of ZOE2 on PS2 had some terrible framerates, especially during the massive battle with the space force, it almost dropped to slow motion!! (I sort of liked it - felt dramatic)
  I can say the performance of the Ps3 version is notably patchy but still vastly improved over the PS2 original. Sounds like the 360 one is even better.
  
  Please stop comparing the framerate to the original when you are clearly comparing it with the framerate from your memories of the game. Reply +2

  @gandhimaster Because it's a challenge. Have you missed the whole hacker culture thing over your life-span?
  People want to buy things and want to be able to change what it does because some people prefer to push the limits of things, see what else is possible. Many positive things come out of this way of thinking!!! Reply -4

• Lost Humanity 16: Size Doesn't Matter

• lostlain 10/10/2012

  All my favourite games are about 4-8 hours from title screen to end credits. If the gameplay is tight and I keep going back for more then it's good (zone of the enders, bayonetta, vanquish etc..)
  A game that I can complete in a day or two and I want more of feels, to me at least, worth way more than a game that lasts 100 hours but I'm bored of within 5. Most these epic long games are full of filler anyway and if you just removed all that guess what... 8 hours. Reply +1

• lostlain 04/08/2012

  Give the guy a chance! If it comes to nothing - so what? Let him give it a go, no reason to completely poo poo all over it before he has released anything. So it might be a big idea and no dev's so far but so what? That's how indie things can start right? You all want something new and far removed from the generic fps's and safe games yet when someone tries to promote an idea removed from that you all shit all over it. Take your apathy elsewhere.

• Saturday Soapbox: In Defence of Lollipop Chainsaw

• lostlain 30/07/2012

  Some people want video games to grow up and stop being sexist or non-pc or whatever. I want video gamers to grow up and realise that there is a place for games which are sexist and non-pc just as much as there is for games which contain "artistic merit". For the Video Game medium to be accepted properly like Movies/books etc. We also need to support genre's within that medium which cover a wide range of subjects.
  I think people who dig into Lollipop Chainsaw and point the finger at it being sexist should really just accept that this game is a bit of fun.
  
  Though I'm not sure what embarrasses me more, gamers who think it's sexist or gamers who think it's got meaning. It's fun - deal with it! Reply +2

  I do miss the "brittishness" of games back in the day. It's not just videogames that have lost this though. UK Cinema, television and in some ways pop culture has become very vapid and americanised. It's sad, some people would go on about how our national identity has been eroded by immigration or whatever. I however believe American television/movies are to blame. Reply +6

  Pretty sure HL3 will be made to coincide with a new engine they create. The next full version of source will likely be in development and with it something to show off it's graphics and physics, just like HL2 was for SOURCE.
  When this new engine arrives who knows, but with a new generation of consoles around the corner, I can see it happening in the next 5 years.
