• Ubisoft suspends development on Patrice Désilets' 1666 "for an undisclosed time"

• silversun 16/05/2013

  I am one of the armchair people not in industry and yeah it looks quiet poor but all the facts not out there yet.
  What i do hope though is that if he does not get the ip back that maybe it can encourage him to try start an indie project with a small team, at least then it can get some of his own game ideas out there and it not so big budget. Reply +1

• Tomb Raider has sold 3.4 million copies, failed to hit expectations

• silversun 26/03/2013

  how much did tomb raider cost to make thats what i want to know, i just done some adding up of figures and would be interested to know how much games cost to make. Maybe this is something eurogamer could do is cover something like this in the future.
  I think at moment this is a industry wide problem not just a square enix problem. Reply +7

• Nintendo found guilty of patent infringement over glasses-free 3D

• silversun 14/03/2013

  Just out of interest, why was this case brought to court in new york and not in japan?.
  know nothing about legal but reading stories on eurogamer about things like this, a lot of these cases end up in US courts. Reply +3

• Saturday Soapbox: Voting with your wallets isn't the whole answer to abusive micro-transactions

• silversun 02/03/2013

  This might be bit off topic but i like nintendo's approach to dlc.
  Sure they very much into trying dlc but they avoiding the whole microtransaction thing, it feels like they trying give customers value. Reply +2

• Resident Evil 6 "lost its momentum, resulting in the failure to achieve planned sales"

• silversun 04/02/2013

  The game was good but not great that is my honest view on itand im a fan since resident evil 2.
  I like the puzzle stuff the old resident evil games had.
  The pacing was the biggest thing that caught my attention about resident evil 6 and even had same issue in revelation right at the end of the game when they escaping that base area.
  some of the combat was so fast it was like they trying to turn game into call of duty or some other fast action game.
  When you compare the pacing of the game to resident evil 4 which was a massive change from 2,3 and cv then you will see what i mean.
  The next resident evil could maybe in my view gain something from going to a slow pace horror vibe, sure it does not have to be scary but look at what uncharted did to that genre which is kinda like tomb raider but now tomb raider is trying be like uncharted.
  Changes can be made to give the feel of resident evil a more slow pace horror vibe without going back to the origonal gameplay of 1, 2 and 3.
  Or do other prefer action gameplay that resident evil series has at the moment? Reply +1

• UK tabloids single out Call of Duty, Dynasty Warriors in coverage of Sandy Hook school massacre

• silversun 18/12/2012

  @kangarootoo i agree its not worth getting angry that our hobby being attacked once again , but i am very concerned that the real reasons why people go and do crazy things like this are being overlooked and something like videogames is take the flack.
  The teacher that saved her class is a real hero and that is what people should focus on how brave and amazing these people are. Reply 0

• Are the rich old men ruining Kickstarter?

• silversun 16/12/2012

  I read this an only thing in my mind is how the tex murphy kickstarter project would not be happening at all.
  I think the real issue is not how much money people have.
  It is what risks would publishers take on certain kinds of games and thanks to kickstarter we can make it happen with out all that. Reply +3

• Star Wars: The Old Republic re-review

• silversun 26/11/2012

  Best image i have seen for this is the "ITS A TRAP" one.
  There are other issues the game is having like subscribers being stuck in free to play and servers crashing alot because suddenly alot more people online and they less servers now, plus some people having trouble with cartel coins.
  
  However as the review says yes the game is playable and worth a try. Reply 0

• Ubisoft boss criticises Wii U price: "I can't say I'm happy"

• silversun 13/11/2012

  Its about £50 more than when the wii came out.
  
  Have to say sadly i am put off by the wii u and its not only the price, the design of it is putting me off.
  The e3 presentation they did of it was terrible and that what made my mind up as to not buy it at launch, however if enough good games vcome to wii u i may change my mind and buy on but have become more restricted in what i buy in all my gaming, i not even buy black ops or halo atm and i know how big the 2 games are.
  
  Im sure it will do good buy for me it not what i looking for atm.
  
  Sorry to be negative but its how feel about it atm. Reply +4

  do not want comment to much on this but it an interesting read.
  I can still remeber the days when game journalism was in magazines such as pc format, sega power, amstrad action and tons of other mags.

  luke may not have been han solo but he was star wars in my view.
  I watched the first set re-mastered version of starwars and that when it hit home how key he is to whole world of star wars.
  I hope i am not only starwars fan that disagree with the comments here.
  
  "The argument comes back to what I said at Gamescom. If we can't keep the quality up, that's an issue"
  
  Yeah i think when you keep making the same type of game this is key and i know the people that work on it really work hard on it.
  like film, games are really a big industry now. Reply 0

• Funcom turns to "smaller, more focused online games" after The Secret World tanks

• silversun 30/08/2012

  @Alebelly yes i would rather there would be purchase the game then it free play online.
  The guild wars way is a good way, not all games need to go complete free to play i think but subscriptions are a barrier for some. Reply 0

• silversun 29/08/2012

  The game is great so far and went and got the grand master pack for this. however i think they should turn the game Free to play and improve what they offer in the cash shop, this would maybe bring in some new people to try it out.
  In terms of subscription online game sure wow will do fine but as a player, i am now very interested to see how final fantasy 14 2.0 does.
  
  Keep reading free to play is the future, it might be for some types of games but not all games.
  
  edit-Oh and how could i forget, but yes please make a new longest journey game. Reply 0

  Seeing as they may be reading this, and know dragon age 3 is being worked on.
  Request to bring back community mods, like in never winter nights and nwn2 did.
  Was one of the great things about how involved the community was with the game and it could be great for dragon age 3.
  I am not big on making mods but i love see what other people do with them. Reply 0

• Lost Humanity 6: Killing Pirates

• silversun 02/08/2012

  Did not spend much time reading this but got the idea of what it was saying.
  I think the real problem is game prices, at least for traditional video games.
  Games are £10-15 too expensive £49.99 or £39.99 vs £29.99 i know which would make me want to buy more Video Games but then again i am cut down buying for personal reasons as well so...
  
  Some people even think £29.99 too much but really not sure if it would drive sales up,but it might. any other thoughts on this? Reply 0
