Suikoden 4: Decent voice work, otherwise UGH. Did we REALLY need a furry take on Tucker Carlson as a character?

Under The Skin: Actually, this game's kinda fun. Definitely worth $20. Why'd it get slammed, again? I imagine it's pretty shallow, but it has a sort of Capcom charm to it.

Jak 3: Ugh plus. Choppy frame rate, ugly tearing. Character designs make EVERYONE cry. I'd be impressed with the animation in the cutscenes if that was the sort of thing I played games for, but I'd rather waste my time watching something competently written and directed.

Killzone: Feels cheap, looks cheap, weapons are nice and noisy. Boo.

Apparently Killzone has multiplayer. Is there any of that on the demo? Split-screen or otherwise

 

[Drinky Crow]

Who in their right mind would willingly play Killzone multiplayer? I'm kind of alone on that one.

Choppy framerate. HAR HAR HAR.

And I'd like to know what is a good character design for you.

 

[bitwise]

it does have a choopy framerate, most of the big ps2 releases this year have had it, from killzone to GTA:SA.

even MGS3 supposedly suffers from it.

its not that important to me really, i can handle but. but im not going to say it isn't there.

Didn't notice any choppy framerate in the full game yet. I must be blind or something.

It ain't a consistent 60, that's for sure, especially in the cutscenes. It jumped all over the damn place, which, when coupled with the awful screen tearing, made the experience as jarring as hell.

Sorry, the buddy sidekick platformer theme is expressly worn out, and the cut-rate Disney-esque visuals don't help it at ALL.

 

[Late Stage Marxist]

Sony really needs to put out more platformers this gen. There really aren't enough of those already.

It ain't consistent, but it ain't choppy by any means. I think you're going over the top with it. But anyway it's Jak, and nobody likes Jak. Tsc tsc.

Disney-esque is BAD? It's actually a lot better than the most recent Disney (not Pixar) release in term of character design.

God damn it! Both of you stop insulting Disney. I'm not overly fond of their company practices and principles, but saying Naughty Dog's character design approaches Disney on a bad day is a joke!

And I don't see Julius Zimmerman drawing Jak & Daxter pr0n. What? What?

 

[drohne]

i liked under the skin too. the visuals play jsr's style for overt humor. and farting on people, taking their money, and running away is good fun. its charms are slight but potent. maybe it should have been on gamecube -- it'd probably benefit from the desperate evangelism of desperate fans.

 

[Drinky Crow]

If it were on Gamecube it would have been FOR THE GOOD OF THE INDUSTRY and Matt-IGN woulda written a few prosaic blog entries on the IGN Cube front page about it.

Hey TTOB, what ever happened to that site that had all your drawing stuff? I liked your work.

Oh p'shaw!

Anyhow, my remora jig is up and the person who's site I was mooching off of finally shut down the domain.

I think the world is a better place for it now. I've resigned myself to a lifetime of flipping burgers and being miserable so Drinky Crow can make jokes about being poor and drunk at my expense. ^_^
