at any rate, i dont think dead space was ever a "pure" horror game. i can only speak for the 1st here, but that was already a lot closer to resident evil 4 than anything truly "survival horror".

Well, I suppose having a gun made it less pure survival horror, but there was definitely a bigger focus on mood and tension in the first one.

Speaking of EA, we have to line up to play the game, just like a real theme park.

I don't know if I want this game anymore. They have also sacrificed city size because of the multiplayer. It seems like you will quickly hit a limit where your city is basically done and you just have to move on and start a new one. Making a couple of single purpose cities isn't the same as having a megapolis where you have to balance everything.

EA releases another trash game bogged down with mind blowingly retarded DRM? Surprises around every corner.

I hope the crack doesn't take too long.

Simcity 2000 was the best one, all others bow down.

It's nothing new as EA always make the worst choice possible regarding of their games. You hate DRM? We make the game you used to love with DRM. I'd like to see the day where EA decide to shutdown Sim City server because they "though" no one playing it anymore.

That...was...somehow hilarious.

It's not a trash game. The simulation is top notch and better than the previous titles. The multiplayer however feels ham-fisted. There some interesting ideas to it but even more working against the overall experience.

I haven't seen a whole lot on this forum about Papo & Yo, and I haven't played it either. I can't say how successful it is, but I think it's approach and purpose are admirable. I listened to an interview with it's creator Vander Caballero on a Destructoid livestream, video found here or here for work-friendly podcast. He says some pretty powerful stuff about the reasons to make games and the games he personally wants to create and see more of. (He's indie enough for me anyway)

There's not much talk about the show itself, Sup Holmes? which is a little odd since has been focusing on and out-and-out promoting indie and experimental games and devs. Though I'm not that surprised, as soon as the focus turns from the game to the developer this forum gets cruel and ruthless. Anyway it's for sure worth a watch/listen.

it depresses me that dead space 1 could be confused with pure horror when SH2 and RE1 were only in the last decade. pure horror never really got the chance to move forward, the franchises just became action games (I am not saying we need bad controls)...

Apparently Japanese tired of those anime shaky boobs, so they put the myth to the test. You know, for science. (NSFW, not naked, just bra, but still...)
