My Current State of Play

feedbackforce@gmail.com (The Feedback Force) — Mon, 22 Mar 2010 11:29:00 +0000

It has been a rather long time since I wrote anything. I generally have a big break from writing then come back with some kind of ‘hey guys I’m back post’. This time may actually be for real but who knows. My life has been a strange one for the last 5-6 months but I won’t bore you with the details as this blog is about gaming.

Games have been an interesting part of my day to day life. For a start I have been working in a computer games shop and spend most of my days selling crap Wii and DS titles to spoilt kids. However the odd customer comes along who actually values my opinion and wants to buy some real games, so the job is pretty awesome. I have also down sized the amount of gaming i do in my spare time. This is mainly because I haven't had spare time, but also as my photography and musical sides of me have become much more relevant. For various reasons I no longer have a Wii so must rely on Freckled Moon to keep me in that loop, but still enjoy our weekly gaming and podcasting sessions, and hope that you will tune into Forced Feedback every week.

For me this year could be pretty impressive as far as titles are concerned. As my current gaming life consists of Star Trek Online and Sega Racing I thought I would bore you with what I am personally excited about for the next year instead of what I am currently enjoying. In no way is this a complete list of quality titles for the year, however these are the few which really jump out at me and my personal gaming flavours.

Just Cause 2 – 26th March – If you have ever listened to Forced Feedback, you are most likely aware that I am very excited about the return of Rico. Simple ass kicking in an open world and base jumping off everything and anything. I like big explosions, pointless grind missions which give you added Kudos for various factions and I like to steal helicopters while they are in the air. When I play JC1 I feel happy inside. I hope this will make me feel the same if not better.

Lego Harry Potter: Years 1-4 – 28th May – I love the Lego platformers. Travellers Tales did a fantastic job on the Star Wars, Indy and Batman titles. Here comes Harry Potter’s turn. From what I have seen in videos and current screen shots this will be more of the same but with the story of the first 4 books/films. I loved the game mechanics and setups of the previous games and I like Harry Potter. Therefore I’m sure I will be one happy wizard when this comes flying into my life in May.

Blur – 28th May – I’m currently playing the Beta version of BLUR and I love it. Fast like ‘Wipeout’ with the crashing and bashing of ‘Burnout’ and the weapon pickups of Kart racers makes this an amazing mix. What is more interesting is I heard rumours that It will be free for Xbox Live Silver players and it should be cross platform multiplayer so finally Xbox, Playstation and PC fan boys can live and fight in harmony. This is one to look out for!

Naughty Bear – 4th June – Introduced to me through Spirit of Jazz and Freckled moon, this game has got me rather excited. You are a Naughty Bear in a land of perfect teddies. Some sandbox style game play added with the dark twisted humour which I'm sure i will love. This will be the territory of Freckled Moon so I don’t want to give to many features away, however keep listening to Forced Feedback as we will be discussing this master piece in great detail.

Super Mario Galaxy 2 – 11th June – This game will make me get a Wii again. I have 3 months to save up because this game is essential. I loved number one and even if this is simply more of the same, I don’t care!I have a kind of unjustified hatred of Nintendo at the moment, however Galaxy stole my heart and I am assuming that the production values and game play of the sequel will be the same if not heavily improved. I am looking forward to the cute stars, crazy upside down platforming and riding Yoshi around like nobodies business.

Crackdown 2 – July 8th – Crackdown made me lose around 200 hours of my life, if not more. I was hypnotised by the jumping, orb hunting and disregard for civilians. The art style was stunning, the game play was fun, the explosions were big. What can be improved? well lets add 4 player Co-Op, new weapons, a prettier engine and more Crackdowny goodness. I may book a week off work for this release. I just hope that Freckled Moon sorts her internet/Xbox live out before July as the Wizard/Moon Crackdown ass kicking team may be no more!!

Halo: Reach – Q3, September Maybe – I am a raving Halo fan boy. I need to say no more to why I ‘need’ this game. The multiplayer will improve again on what is still the most popular multiplayer of all time. The story to me will answer questions which appeared in the Books and previous titles. I love the universe and the 5th FPS in the series will stun us all. My only criticism is that the Multiplayer Beta is going to be a bit of a farce as people will treat it as a demo or sneak peak and may not actually report bugs, however I’m sure Bungie will sell loads of more copies of ODST in the weeks before May 3rd.

Other games I am excited about include Star Craft 2, Diablo 3, Medal of Honor, Star Wars: Old Republic and The Witcher: Rise of the White Wolf. But it may be far to soon to be able to get really excited about these titles. I have a busy few months to get my gaming back on form and look forward to reading and writing about all the moments and news surrounding.

Keep on reading and Tune into Forced Feedback each Monday night (except tonight that is).

Written Podcast Substitute

feedbackforce@gmail.com (The Feedback Force) — Sun, 21 Mar 2010 19:16:00 +0000

Unfortunatey I won't be around this week to do a podcast but, perhaps surprisingly, I had already done some reserch for it. So, instead of letting my hard work go to waste I would put it into a written blog. Not the same, I know, but hopefully it's better than nothing.

Well this week I haven't really been playing anything new because I decided to pick up my PSP for the first time in about a year and instantly found myself addicted to LocoRoco again! I did manage to try Lord of Ultima though which went into open beta this week. Lord of Ultima is the new browser based 'strategic kingdom building simulation' from EA. First impressions are good but I'm sure we'll talk about it more at a later date.

New releases for the week of March 26th include Just Cause 2. We talked about that a bit last week and I think CW might have mentioned that he was looking forward to it once or twice. Something I'm much more excited about that is also coming out this week is Pokemon Heart Gold and Soul Silver. I have Heart Gold on preorder so I'll let you know what I think of it in the next podcast. Multi-platform releases for next week include Prison Break: The Conspiracy, Resonance of Fate, How to train your Dragon and the Game of the Year edition of Arkham Asylum. Red Steel 2 is also coming out for the Wii and Sims 3:Create a Sim is released for the PC.

Recent game related news has been a bit short now that GDC is over but there were still some interesting tidbits out there. First off Nick Gibson, a games investor consulting analyst, claims that a lack of a games adaptation of Twilight has cost Summit Entertainment millions in lost opportunity for revenue. I'm not sure how a Twilight game would work to be honest though it would have been successful no matter what. Other people are cashing in on it so I don't see why Summit Entertainment didn't. As we mentioned last week Scene it: Twilight came out a few days ago so maybe that is the first of many. Resident Evil creator Shinji Mikami is going to open a new development studio when he has finished work on Platinum Games shooter Vanquish. It will only have a team of 13 to start with and he didn't speak too much about what he would be working on but he did say he would like to see a true-3D horror game.

One of my favourite news stories this week was regarding Tommy Refenes and Apple. Tommy Refenes made a game called Zits and Giggles which was, until recently, sold on Apple's App Store. Last week at GDC he ranted about how terrible the App store was and he compared the iPhone and iPod Touch to the Tiger handhelds of the 80s and 90s. This may have been why Apple removed his game this week but it may have also been to do with the price 'experiment' he was conducting during the past 5 months. Zits and Giggles hadn't been selling too well so 5 months ago Refenes decided to increase the price to $15, surprisingly a few copies were then sold. After this the creators kept increasing the price every time a copy sold and the day it was pulled someone bought the game for $400! I find that crazy. It really shows that people assume something is good just because it's expensive. A lot of people playing 'games' on the iPhone and iPod Touch aren't really gamers and probably wouldn't even label themselves as such.

A few other pieces of news I picked up but didn't really read too much into was that Miyamoto confirmed Pikmin 3 is well underway, Playstation Move title Motion Fighter will have a calorie counter and a gamer broke two fingers whilst playing God of War 3 after rolling over them with his knee. Not quite sure how that last one could happen. What position do they play games in?! I like the idea of a fighting game having a calorie counter though so you know how many you are burning whilst beating people up.

Well I think that about sums up everything I would have talked about during the podcast. I haven't included a feature because we hadn't decided on one yet. Everything is quite brief because it's hard to have a debate on a subject with myself but just imagine it being padded out with CW's swearing and shouting!

Is that supposed to happen?!

feedbackforce@gmail.com (The Feedback Force) — Tue, 16 Jun 2009 18:59:00 +0000

Written By Freckled Moon

Whilst playing through games on a daily basis one thing is bound to happen. It's frequently funny, sometimes frustrating and always confusing. What am I talking about? Glitches. Now I don't really have a problem with them. In fact most of the time they have me in stitches. This might be because I don't take games too seriously. I adore playing them but I'm not a competitive person especially not against a machine.
I thought I'd share any of my glitchey moments that came along with you guys and you can feel free to submit some of your own and maybe I'll post them up here for all to see. To start with I've got a few from Saints Row 1 and 2. Not because they're glitched out games but because I've been playing number 2 a lot and so have had plenty of opportunities to find some. So without further ado here they are....

Saints Row 2 (360)

Saints Row 2 (360)

Saints Row 1 (360)

Bully Scholarship Edition (360)

So I know this is a pretty random feature but it's little things like this that amuse me. This may or may not appear again depending on whether it happens to me when I have a camera handy. If you want to send some in then email feedbackforce@googlemail.com

Review - inFamous

feedbackforce@gmail.com (The Feedback Force) — Mon, 15 Jun 2009 10:24:00 +0000

Review By - Captain Wizard

Developer - Sucker Punch
Publisher - Sony
Platform/s - PS3 Exclusive
Price I payed - £37
Average price at time of writing - £40
Release date - 29th April 2009

This is one of the most anticipated PS3 releases of the year. An ambitious game which will either rise in its own glory or fail in a mess of what it should have been. Sucker Punch weren't lucky in this case. They didn't make a PS3 game, they made 'THE' PS3 game. I do not have any favours over Microsoft, it just so happens that multiplatform games are usually chosen for their system in my household. When a decent PS3 exclusive comes along it always makes me smile and happy that i chose to own all of the current gen platforms, instead of choosing just the one.

In inFamous you play a chap called Cole. He starts off his normal day and then BOOM; big explosion; lots of people dead. You wake up in the epicentre of it all. How did you survive? No one knows and at this point and no one really cares. This sequence acts as your tutorial and it does it very well. This game is broken up into several days after the blast. You start at day 14. You quickly come to grips with your powers and then the fun starts. Do you blast every person in sight, or do you just zzap the bag guys. This is up to you, but you soon become aware of how an obvious looking karma system is actually working under the hood at all times. Every so often the games stops the narrative and runs you though Cole's head. You have a good and a evil choice. Which you choose is up to you. As someone who has played the game through twice (Once as a Normal Good Guy and Once as a Hard Evil Maniac) i can say that the only real difference it makes it with your powers. Obviously leaving any spoilers aside i don't want to give examples, but even though this game has a very robust narrative, it has minimal differences depending on what side you join. Maybe I was expecting to much, but as i played through as a good character i had an alternative story rolling around my head for when I decided to play as evil. But alas i was slightly disappointed. This however didn't stop me from playing it again.

Not many games entice me to start the game instantly again once i have finished them. This however did, and the experience was completely different. I decided to up the difficulty to Hard and to be as evil as i could. Watching peoples terror as i walked past or decided to suck the bio-electricity from their face was a crazy experience compared to the applauding and cheering crowds of my previous play through. The difficulty is interesting. I had to rinse and repeat two or three missions as i discovered better strategies etc but other than that it wasn't a big leap. That was until i met the final boss. He is ridiculous on hard. If i remember rightly he was also pretty ridiculous on normal as well.

The game pretty much completely open. You have three island (similar to that of crackdown) which all have three different gangs/factions to fight with. You cannot move to the second and third island however until you move through the story. The game has an interesting method of keeping you in certain sections of the map. The power has been cut off in some districts and its your job to travel too the substations and bring it back on. If you move into a blacked out area you are pretty much dead. It's a matter of time before you will be completely surrounded by crazy bad guys with huge guns. The perk of going to the substations is that you gain a new power. These range from being able to fly/hover to bringing down huge lightning storms from the sky. You can also take over smaller sub districts to rid it from the enemies. This is done by completing small side missions.

Its hard to describe every aspect of this game without giving it to many spoilers. The gameplay is similar to that of crackdown and the Spiderman games. Except in this case you also have a karma system to keep an eye on and a really well knit story to distract you. When you finish this game you will soon realise that the entire game has been prologue to something much bigger. If Sucker Punch decide on another game then it will lead onto that. If they do not then it leaves an open canvas in your mind to decide where 'your' Cole goes next.

Round Ups

Core Gameplay - 95% - Pure open world happiness, plus a karma system, plus you can fly....what else does a electric super hero need.

Multiplayer Gameplay - n/a

Graphics/Physics - 90% - Not the best looking PS3 out there, but is still amazingly beautiful. Great draw distance and perfectly put together animations. Great physics although they are very subtle.

Sound - 85% - Very well polished and high quality voice acting and sound design. Little repetition on sounds. Nothing ground breaking with the design but overall a great sounding game.

DLC - n/a

Achievements/Trophies - 90% - A great set of Trophies. Non that require you to deviate from the core gameplay. They encourage you to explore, find things and level up. Encourages you to play the game through once as good and again as evil (or evil then good)

Overall = 90% - Is now in my top 5 games of all time. Is an enjoyable and addictive adrenaline ride of goodness. An essential to any PS3 owners game collection.

After the audio problems we had last week I decided to try to use Ableton Live (another 'Pro' audio application) to record the show and it worked. until we finished and it messed up. I managed to recover the 3 .wav files by importing them to Audicity as RAW data, so woot once again for open source software, it saved this podcast. I am afraid that the last 5-10 mins have been cut from the end when Ableton fucked with the files.

Thank you to Jon and Andrew for joining us this week, we look forward to hearing from JackSandwich once again as next week he will be a full on host with the Moon and the Wizard.
