Munches Oddysee was brilliant. Then Oddword turned to EA for help with their next title. They wanted the marketing abilities of the giant, but instead, EA demanded some of the I.P rights and that fucked the makers off. So they've gone into film.Lastwolf wrote:why it was a regualr 2D scroller and had lik a million sequels, prolly one of the only EA decisions I agree with, that they'd milked the fuck out of it.
Cartridges are faster, yeah, but fuck, stereo > mono.
What really Killed odd world was the LACK of advertisment by EA
Its EA's policy that if The game in question isnt cross platform, then they dont care to advertise for it much.
The last Odd game was too much for PS2, as one of the devs answers to why it was an xbox exclusive was..."We couldnt get the thing to run on PS2 anyway"
So yeah, EA is at fault
but they dont take the blame all by themselves.

There was a hardware enchancement for the N64, it was meant to come out (Had there not been so many problems with it though... FF7 may of gotten put onto a n64.) but i think it was only ever released in Japan. Not many titles utilised it though
I remember that Ocarina of time was one heavy bloody cartidge and later you had that 'expansion pack' which came out during the Donkey Kong 64 period or was it pokemon stadium... gah so long ago.

What kinda game is your thing?
Cuzz if your talking in general...
then theirs none on the ps3 nor the Wii either......possibly even PC.
I say this becuase, with the range of games the 360 currently has. If theirs nothing for you. then theirs diferently nothing on the other next gen consoles as theyve only just relseased last week. and aside from MMO's and RTS's the majority of game types seem to have moved to consoles.

@Xenoraven: No, the 360 is actually MISSING some of the features I labelled, but kay.
@Kaos, I know. EA refused to market it. But Odd says it was, they felt, also under marketed because they refused to give up IP rights.
I played that Gears of War last night. First ever time I'd played a 360. I must say, it looked fucking great. But.... It reminded me of that "Black" game that was released. Shiny graphics, cutting people up etc etc There you go, new game. Spend money on it.
