Its commonly accepted that the WiiU is more powerful than the 360 and Ps3. The problem is that its not more powerful enough to matter.

lol Simcity facebook page updated with this piece of shit image acting like it's impressive on any level.

The pr for this game is atrocious.

Yes, I'm going to get excited about a shitty tileset I have pay money for to even enjoy, cocklords. Who in the fuck would be impressed by this shit?

For sake of comparison:

vs

Which one looks like an actual city and which one looks like Fisher Price? Which one is Sim City and which one is Cities XL? Which one looks like an actual CITY simulator?

BobFromPikeCreek · « **Reply #9803 on:** August 30, 2012, 01:01:17 PM »

Woah. I should've bought Cities XL during the steam sale.

Robo · « **Reply #9804 on:** August 30, 2012, 01:19:40 PM »

It's pretty obvious that the art direction is intended look like a toy set—the (ugly and otherwise pointless) tilt-shift effect in all the PR shots and videos just solidifies the decision.

But actual city simulation does sound like so much fun.

yes it was pretty mediocre, but hardly the shitstorm that comes up a little now and then. Gameplay vise it had some pretty sweet moments. Metroid Prime 3 was pretty bad also, but i dont know why that gets a free pass.

Great Rumbler · « **Reply #9809 on:** August 30, 2012, 02:42:05 PM »

MP3 was certainly a far better game than Other M. Even the cutscenes in MP3 were better.

And the backlash was partly because of inflated expectations due to "first Metroid from Japan in years" and "Team Ninja" being carefully punctured by Sakamoto's bizarre design choices and excruciating story.

I dont think it gets a free pass either, I thought that was bad (not to the degree of M at least) too.

MP3 tried to be Halo, and it introduced some pretty shittty characters

I guess it was no surprise that the series went back to Japan (which also bombed)

Best thing right now is to put Metroid on ice for a couple of years.

Those characters appeared for all of MAYBE an hour total in 20+ hour game. The other 19+ hours were exploring alien worlds, in basically the same way as all the other Prime games.

eh the exploration was toned down, even the developers themselves admitted that.

I found Metroid Prime 1 & 2 to be excellent games, but the 3rd game is very forgettable.

So, what exactly happened with the new Sim City that turned the tides of hype? Haven't been following it but I remember people being pretty positive about it before.

Himu · « **Reply #9836 on:** September 04, 2012, 08:08:01 PM »

the hype for SC has been optimistic, not necessarily positive. the hype has been going down the drain since the marketing is awful. the marketing posts shit pics like that guitar pic as if it's in any way impressive and has yet to release one single pic of an actual city with a dense skyline.

Great Rumbler · « **Reply #9837 on:** September 04, 2012, 08:43:25 PM »

And it's EA, so you get Origin and loads of pointless but expensive DLC.

Himu · « **Reply #9838 on:** September 04, 2012, 08:45:13 PM »

People at shows say the game is good, but these are people playing for 15-30 minute session. Will the game last longer than that? Media released so far suggests no. But I'm optimistic about the game.

Still, I'm more interested in trying out Cities XL.

Now that looks like a city sim.
