Cliffy B. says Bioshock is his Game of the Year
Clifford Bleszinski, Epic Games’ superstar designer, loves Bioshock. Cliffy B. loves it so much that he considers it his game of the year. Not Halo 3 (which isn’t out yet as of this writing), not Metroid Prime 3: Corruption, or whatever AAA title that’s set to come out late 2007.
The designer then proceeds to rave about specific parts of the game that I won’t spill.
We may be days away from the onslaught of Halo 3, and the Bungie shooter may break new sales records (then again, it may not). Halo multiplayer matches may again rule Xbox Live, but …read more
Metroid Prime 3 controls seem to suck
Yes, it’s E3, the most wonderful time of the year—next to Christmas, at least. A flood of videos at the event are coming in, so get set for a viewing extravaganza. First up is a video walkthrough of a level in Metroid Prime 3: Corruption. The game is coming out next month, so soak yourself in the hype leading to it.
The most noticeable part of the video is how the controls work. I remember associating auto-aim and non-alcoholic beer, but after seeing how this feature works, I must say that from being totally against it, I’ve changed my stance to …read more
It’s official: Metroid Prime 3 has no multiplayer
Like other franchises that move from one console generation to another, Metroid Prime 3: Corruption lost features when it crossed over to the Nintendo Wii. This time, the casualty is online modes. In an interview with GamePro, president and CEO Michael Kelbaugh of Retro Studios confirmed that the third installment is focused on delivering a better single-player experience.
Then again, it might not be so bad considering that the multiplayer for Metroid Prime 2 was rather limited, having no LAN or online support. It was mainly a split-screen cooperative affair that critics viewed as “bland.”
Why couldn’t Retro Studios emulate …read more
Metroid Prime 3 is delayed for a week
A minor bad news to start the week: Metroid Prime 3 is going to be delayed by a week. How did we find out? Hawk eyes, that’s what.
Along with a press release that revealed the release date of The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass (which is October 1 w00t), was the news that Metroid Prime 3: Corruption is coming this August 27th. So where’s the delay?
If you must know, the third Metroid Prime was originally scheduled to hit shelves on August 20. Upon reading the press release, you’ll notice that the news felt like it was hidden—placed in …read more
New details on Metroid Prime 3
August will be a month of destiny for a couple of high-profile shooters. First is Bioshock, that spiritual successor to System Shock 2 that has high hopes of making us wet our pants in delight (or terror). Another game that you shouldn’t take for granted is Metroid Prime 3: Corruption, that first-person shooter/adventure game that gamers are babbling about.
So what’s the latest on Samus Aran?
A reader by the alias of NDAninja got his/her mitts on the most recent issue of Play, a U.K.-based game magazine, and revealed the details to Go Nintendo. Within the pages of the new issue were …read more
