Except he did go multiplatform with Psychonauts, unless you mean the PS2 and PC versions should have been released at the same time as the Xbox version.Fumbles said:

Buuut,
from what I've seen from BL, the game is going to fail miserably. I mean, come on, a game about a roadie of a metal band who slays demons with an axe in one hand and a guitar in the other? Sounds nothing like the guy responsible for all of his adventure titles.
I guess everyone flops from time to time.
Better fighting, witty jokes, metal from all ages from Glam to Thrash, Ozzy, Creative level design, Ozzy, a sacred beer tree, Ozzy, a customizable Hot Rod, and Ozzy. Did I mention Ozzy? What more would you want? The game to be a diamond farting masterpiece from the gates Heaven after Zeus and God had Holy Sodomy???romitelli said:
The game has a feature where you have to press certain buttons as they come up to play a solo to change something in the terrain or whatever that solo is meant to do...So Activision is whining about their Quick Time Events=Music concept they've based an entire series around, that many games on the internet have ripped off and don't see them complaining about that. Of course this is all in theory.scotth266 said:

I don't know whether Double Fine's going to win this one. Justice demands that they succeed, but a crappy technicality is preventing that and I hope that their lawyers find a way... if it means selling their souls to the devil for one.
That is, if they have souls.
I hate you Activision.
Well I'm one of those "Games are art" Hippies that Yahtzee will act like in his review of the game. Those who actually wants some true creativity in games, not just Halo but on mars with a hammer or some shit like that.romitelli said:

What's really strange is how EA are changing into a much better company. They still release all their Fifa, Madden and NFL games but they're trying to expand their list of new IPs like Brutal Legend and last year's efforts with Dead Space and Mirror's Edge. At least, I hope that's what they're trying to do...AlexTheBucket2112 said:
As for the article, I want to voice my support for Double Fine. This is basically Activision breaking a toy they didn't want so no-one else can have it, but unfortunately, there will be intense legal work required to work around all these accusations. I hope Double Fine pull through and I hope Activision get seriously scalded for trying this petty little trick.
Yeah, that's a pretty ignorant statement.Triforceformer said:
Want some creativity? Red Faction, not the one from this generation, was one of, if not the first game to allow for non-scripted terrain deformation. Including buildings. So, to request something different from an IP that is built around that thing is a bit... silly. That would be like asking Rock Band to turn in to an action rpg that is controlled with your guitar, drum, or mic.
Not every game that is released has to be a unique and different experience. There's only so much you can do with video games that is actually fun. The point of IP's and genres is so you can stick to one you enjoy and play it. It's almost always been like this.
And no, I haven't played the new Red Faction. It's not on my 'to do list'.
Edit: Further, seeing as how very, very few games have terrain deformation, and even fewer (none other than Red Faction as far as I'm aware) have the entire game focus around that point... how can you even say that Red Faction is Halo on Mars? That would be like saying that Doom is Halo on Mars. Absurd.
Dear Sweet Jesus, Activision has become a typical tyrannical conformitist company and EA is valiantly backing up the little guy full of original and unique ideas the big evil conformatist company is trying to destroy....

Sorry I was only vaugely kidding just to get one of those *Insert metal song here* jokes through, and even if I wasn't, I saw a guy say Brutal Legend is a Halo ripoff, no kidding. All I know about the red faction series is the latest one has a 1 mission demo, it takes place on mars, and yahtzee doesn't like it.Credge said:
