Yeah, I'm very in favour of a new location and Assassin. Ezio and Rennaissance Italy was absolutely awesome, but I think a new locale and person would be a very good change of pace. As for time period, I say French Revolution. It has all the good markers: all sorts of violent intrigue, revolution in thought, plenty of chances for people to be Templars. Maybe Robespierre was one; after his death at the 9 Thermidor, people started to calm down and get less... decapitate-y. For that positive result, an Assassin could have orchestrated it.
I'm getting really good signals from this game. To me, Heavy Rain kinda seemed like it was saying "OMG look at how mature I am and stuff! I totally am mature! Look! See?" (To be fair, I never played Heavy Rain, so these are the impressions I've gathered from trailers etc.) Here, however, I see actual maturity, and hopefully an awesome story. Just can't wait to see some gameplay.
If Nathan Fillion plays Nathan Drake, then I will see the movie. If he doesn't, I will not. It's as simple as that. It would be a grave injustice if he didn't get to play Drake.
Seeing as there are 12 pages of comments, it's kinda doubtful I'll win, but hey, what have I got to lose? I'll tell you what I've got to win: an awesome Okami shirt, that's what.
Well, it looks like I must be the one to ask the question that's on everyone's minds, but nobody has voiced: What will the consequence for attacking a cucco be? In the pre-Twilight Princess games, the consequence was always Poultry Armageddon. Your victim's cucco buddies protected him by relentlessly dive-bombing you. Now, in Twilight Princess, we saw a different approach; when you attacked a cucco enough, you got the opportunity to control that cucco for a short period of time. Ultimately, this had no real fruit beyond its inherent awesomeness. Except for the chance to make a cucco swim. Which was cool. So, will Skyward Sword feature Poultry-geddon? Will it offer another chance to pilot a cucco? Or will it branch off in an entirely new direction? I suppose we'll just have to wait and see.
I absolutely love this art style. I liked Wind Waker's, and I really liked Twilight Princess, but this seems to be a happy medium that showcases the Wii's (admittedly modest) graphical capabilities. I really can't wait to find out more about this game.
I've never played a Ghost Recon game, but this looks like it could turn out to be quite awesome. In any case, it'll be a nice change from the same-y shooters we've been seeing recently. Less brown FTW.
Lookin' good! Must admit, the technology leap is a little bit jarring, but it looks to have some actual innovation this time. Don't get me wrong, Zelda's my favourite series, but I do admit they don't usually change too much. Colour me excited.
It's not the Wii that sucks (except for the graphics, most of the time), it's the games. There can be good ones, like Super Mario Galaxy, but most of them are, well... crap.
WHO WOULDVE WON!?!??!?!? It shall remain one of the great mysteries of the universe. I know the pondering of this question will cause me many sleepless nights...
Wow... I wanna say that this is amazing. Very good choice of games here. It's a shame how the mature rating is only percieved as sex, blood, violence, etc. Great job.
