Upcoming Games

Well the fact that both hardware failed miserably didn't help. With a game like this for it I don't think Rayman would have stood a chance.

The main difference is 32x lives in emulators. And it had some great points, compared to Gizmondo.

I wonder why nobody here seems to have played BG&E. If you had, then you'd definitely be looking forward to BG&E2.
How I loved the first game... I played it more than any Rayman game! 7 times.
And I have two copies of the PC version, one of the PS2 version, and one of the Xbox version, which doesn't work on Xbox 360.

To be honest, i am waiting for BG&E 2 too. But i hope that if they make it a freeroomer they will at least make a clear list of missions and a good mini map that shows where to go. This quite annoys me. I don't know where to go. ( I'm now on my first mission on the black island, take pictures in the mines. But i am stuck. )

Free roam games are not generally good. They are often boring, though.

[El Dango]

I think they're good.

They are if they're done right, which they're usually not. I prefer linear.

[Tobbe]

Free roaming fits certain genres, such as RPG's, well. The problem in recent years is that developers insert the free roaming element into games that don't need it. When did the gaming community decide that linearty equals bad games, anyway? Rayman 3 and Rayman 2 are both almost completely linear, but that certainly didn't stop me from enjoying them.

It annoys me when a linear level branches in two directions and I have to choose one. I always end up going back and following the other path when I reach the end of the one I chose, though this works well in 2D games.

I like it when you have to follow a linear path which has small other paths branching off it, which you can choose to go down, or choose not to. And some of these little paths should lead to little areas, and some of them should be cleverly hidden.

GDC 2009 starts tomorrow!

I remember a quite interesting concept of semi-linear game using way you don't like, but with... err... bigger branches of ways, like a few different levels and then the "link". And I know your problem, but, actually, you can restart level, right?

PS3 version, do want.

[stan423321]

Seems like they at Sony seriously think about abandoning PS3. If all of these came out for PS2...

Absolutely not. Have you by any chance heard of a little game called Uncharted 2: Among Thieves?

[Holy Crap]

YES!!! YES YES YES YES YES!!!

[Joshua822]

The story is still a bit vague though, well, it will become clear when playing the game anyway.

[Fat_Mario]

Yeah! Next Jak and Daxter game, but where's PS3 version?

[Rulez]

Ugh, we'll worry about that later!

YAY! NEW JAK!!!
