Yahtzee's Prototype vs. InFamous Challenge

[KittywifaMohawk]

This is just fucking great.

Seems like Yahtzee does in fact have some pull with the game studios

 

[yzzlthtz]

Yeah, there's something very cathartic about this. It somehow justifies all the relax time i've wasted following video game news and squabbles.

pull or no, a lot of people in the industry probably watch - and completely love - yahtzee's reviews. this response seems like, at the very least, an acknowledgment of his fantastic humor and keen insight.

Both companies should put out special editions using those pictures as cover art.

If they did that, every brainless organization for the prevention of one thing or another would be all over them. Everyone from FOX to MADD (Mothers Against Drunk Driving, fucking crazy bitches tried to make GTAIV an Adults Only game because you can get drunk in it. Seriously.). They'd probably get shut down. I know your comment was meant as a joke, but I just felt I should point out that even though it would be funny and awesome as hell, there's people stupid enough to bash them for it.

His fantastic humor I'll grant you, though I find keen insight might be a bit much. He does make a few valid points, but it's not always on point. While it is nice to see a reviewer get away from the media hype and actually review a game for what it's worth, he does send out his own personal grudges straight into it. Its nice to see professionals against the mainstream love of gritty realism and appreciate new and experimental design forms.

Interesting to see both companies compete like this, though. Still makes me think that the lovable swearing Australian actually has truly impacted the game studio community. I daresay the next time it happens will draw in even more developer attraction and--hopefully!--competition.

That. Was. EPIC!

*hugs Yahtzee*

 

[TyronDoomBringer]

What you mean they actually care what gamers/game critics think! Also this whole sequence of event leads me to think I have fallen into a parallel universe where gaming is relevant, and horses ride people... bad though.

 

[Socken]

Wow, that's so incredibly cool.
Seriously, who would've thought they'd actually do it.

Huge thumbs up to both of them.

 

[RikSharp]

well that just made my day!
lol

 

[TheEnglishman]

Yahtzee you charasmatic stallion!

Does the influence of Yahtzee know no bounds? Only one way to find out. You need to make even more ridiculous requests.

 

[MrDeano89]

epic win....

Am I the only one who sees something wrong with this picture?, he applauded Alex and gave the award to Cole, was this on purpose or are we having a "who can render the most disturbing image" contest

 

[Piorn]

Awesome, yet disturbing.

 

[DK Mandela]

Yahtzee has some funny influences.. Funny HA-HA and uncomfortably funny too.. However, 10 out of 10 for funny HA-HA HA-HA. Very good. But next time, ask for the most money first.

 

[Ashbax]

Yahtzee decided which game is best - Prototype or InFamous - by judging pictures of the games' main characters wearing women's lingerie. No seriously.

Well ill be damned, they actually did it, the sick dickheads.

 

[Henric]

Surely Alex Mercer wins because he's actually got LOVELY BREASTS and an alluring pose. I call shenanigans.

He gave the award to the pic of Alex, which was made by Sucker Punch. They are creating pictures of the characters from the rival games.

This was the review that pushed me to making a account here! heh

This review was great! Funny, witty, and very informative.

 

[KingPiccolOwned]

Uhh... Yahtzee, I don't know if you know this but Sucker Punch made Infamous as I recall, yet you clearly declared Alex Mecer the winner. I think that you meant Radical was the winner.
