On Shelves this Week: January 15 – January 21, 2012

Posted Jan 12, 2012 at 1:00PM EST by Listed in: PS3 Tags: amy, dustforce, fenix rising, Gears of War, order up, saints row, stonekeep

It’s that time again, everyone! Let’s see what games are looting your wallet next week.

Another week, another slate of game releases. As with last week, there’s not that much going on - we likely have a couple of weeks of slow releases before we start to see major AAA titles dropping again. Bu that’s okay, because we’re going to need all that extra time to wrap up the dozen or so great games that launched over the course of the last couple of months.

As is now the custom, here’s this week’s edition of:

AMY

Xbox 360, PC, PS3

ESRB Mature

Lexis Numerique

Gears of War 3: Fenix Rising Map Pack

Xbox 360

ESRB Mature

Epic Games

Dustforce

ESRB Pending

Hitbox

Order Up!! 3DS

3DS

ESRB Everyone

Ignition Entertainment

Saints Row the Third: Genki Bowl VII

PS3, Xbox 360, PC

ESRB Mature

Volition

Stonekeep: Bones of the Ancestors

PC, Wii

ESRB Everyone

Alpine Studios

While the highest profile content is DLC for Saints Row and Gears of War, Dustforce looks primed to be one of those runaway indie hits. As with most entertainment products, we’re going to have to sit through the relative doldrums of January before things get interesting again.

It’s that time again, everyone! Let’s see what games are looting your wallet next week.

Naughty Dog on Uncharted Linearity

Posted Nov 1, 2011 at 3:05PM EST by Listed in: PS3 Tags: final fantasy xiii, Naughty Dog, uncharted 3

The developer answers the number one complaint of gamers and critics alike regarding the Uncharted franchise – lack of choice.

If you take a little time to read through reviews of Naughty Dog’s latest game, Uncharted 3, you’ll see a few of the same themes coming up over and over again. Everyone praises the game’s storyline, script and voice acting, but then complains about the game feeling narrow. Some bolder reviewers that aren’t scared to rile up the internet trolls may even call the game “shallow.”

Amy Hennig, the creative director for Naughty Dog, has gone on the record as considering the linearity one of the strengths of the series. Her logic, put simply, is that without strict linearity, they wouldn’t be able to develop such an engaging and robust storyline.

Here’s her response regarding why branching storylines simply couldn’t make it into the game:

"That's not really our genre. We like those kind of games, as players and fans of other games, but for the action-adventure - especially the pulp-adventure genre - that doesn't really make sense.”

"It's about having a very clear, linear story arc that doesn't allow for a lot of the dilution that is created by player choice in some cases. We always call it 'wide linear' - within the path that we give you, you have a lot of choice within it, it's not just hit this button, and this button, and this button.”

"But we need that authorial control over the story to do what we're doing."

On one hand, I suppose it’s hard to argue with her logic. Sending players down a direct path helps keep you in control of the storyline and gives you more opportunities to focus on the narrative than the choice.

On the other hand, we’ve seen what happens when linearity backfires (Final Fantasy XIII), and we’ve also seen games with incredible narratives that are packed with player choice (pretty much anything BioWare makes).

Do you think Uncharted 3’s linearity helps strengthen the story, or is it the clear mark of a developer trying to make a crushing release schedule?

Uncharted 3 devs keeping Drake grounded

Posted May 16, 2011 at 1:28AM EST by Mabie A. Listed in: PS3 Tags: amy hennig, Naughty Dog, uncharted 3

If there's one thing that the team behind Uncharted 3 are most careful about, it would be the retention of the game's adventurous spirit.

Creative director Amy Hennig explains in a recent interview with Gamespot just how exactly they do that. "If somebody comes up with an idea that seems like it fits, and you see everybody sort of spark on that, that's meaningful."

"On the other hand, if somebody comes up with an idea that maybe would be awesome in another game, but everybody's kind of like 'meh'... that's meaningful too."

Hennig also reealed that adlibbing is very much encouraged from the cast, and fortunately, the script allows for that to come out naturally. Ultimately, their goal is to keep up with the traditions of pulp adventure while telling "a story about believable characters who are flawed and charming and all the things that go along with that."

As for Drake appearing like a superhero of sorts, Hennig says they're not up for that.

"The adventure genre is more about kind of groundedness, and there's a sort of retro aspect to it without making it old-fashioned and corny. We always have to check ourselves to make sure we're not making a kind of modern action movie."

You can check out the full interview in the embedded video below. Uncharted 3 comes out September.

David O. Russel assures Uncharted movie will be great

Posted Feb 21, 2011 at 5:38PM EST by Glenn M. Listed in: PS3 Tags: uncharted, uncharted movie

Just about everything we hear about the on-going Uncharted film project have been, let's just say it, bad ones. We have a lead actor that doesn't look or act like Nathan Drake, a director that thinks the video game franchise is family-oriented, and he's working on a family-friendly film with a lot of crime in it. In spite of all that, David O. Russell assures fans that the film is in good hands.

Still, you might want to know what the ESRB had to say about it.

Things aren't really looking so good for the Uncharted movie adaptation, but it's too early in the game to count it out. For one thing, they're still not done casting the female lead, the one who will play the journalist and self-proclaimed "last year's model," Elena Fisher.
