This gamespot video gives a good overview of what to expect from the developers themselves, and even has some commentary about the difficulty towards the end: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HGsGAJcKdok&feature=related

Very interesting, indeed! Thanks for bringing this (spiritual) sequel to my attention. I love those games where you can just lose yourself for hours in the twisting mazes of endless castle dungeons. Although not the same genre, the experience itself seems very akin to Diablo or Torchlight...

Looks very interesting. I was all set to finally go out and purchase a Wii, and now this avalanche of rumor and speculation about a brand new/updated Wii! If this new Wii isn't set to actually debut for another year or so, I may just wait for the inevitable price drop on the current Wii in...

Definitely still interested. My brother and I pass Blizzard's HQ every time we come home from the gym, so Blizzard's current activities are often a subject of interesting speculative conversation for us. I think Rob Pardo recently mentioned that Blizz is pushing hard to get D3 out the door...

Interesting news indeed! How funny too, after all these years of hemming and hawing over the next-gen consoles, I finally get around to trying the PS3 and Xbox360. Having worked my way through a decent amount of games and demos from the latter's libraries, I finally resolve to try the Wii...

Hmm. Beyond Good and Evil is one of the few PC titles I've been able to play all the way through in recent years, but looking back on the experience I don't think it was really worth my time and effort. The game starts off well enough, the controls are not the best, but the story and...

I have a strong feeling that most gamers these days are buying more games than they are actually playing. My personal theory is that there is a LOT of content on multiple platforms and simply not enough time these days for the average gamer with school, family, job, etc. to keep up with it all...

The game Infernal comes to mind. The graphics were quite nice looking and the premise of using magic/kinetic powers in addition to standard weaponry was a good start, but the game lacked some polish. It never really explored the possibility of using these powers in creative ways (i.e. to...

Sorry if this is a tad off subject, but one thing that bothered me was the teaser trailer for Fable III - you know, the one where the chicken springs free and has a brief, but adventurous run for freedom. Something about how the trailer ended not only put me off, but seemed to encapsulate the...

I think that's a good point. While I am a fan of the Halo series, i'll be the first one to admit that they should have used Halo 2 to introduce features that expanded beyond the core gameplay of the original.

I've always liked the Halo series. Although I was slow to get acquainted with the series (Halo 1 was out for years before I finally picked it up), when I finally got around to it, I enjoyed the experience so much that I picked up the PC version and played through that too. The only thing...

A few other people have expressed the same opinion in this thread, and it has got me to thinking - since i'm starting to enjoy MGS4 much more now, I wonder if would indeed be better to play through the first three games. There's a bit of talk going around that the first three Metal Gear games...

Out of curiosity I took the time to watch some gameplay footage of Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater on Youtube. It inspired me to go back and try a more stealthy approach, with special emphasis on shaking down each guard for extra ammo and items. On the easiest difficulty I had a pretty good...

I?m glad I found this thread. I recently purchased MGS4 and have been having an experience that very closely parallels yours. My own history with the Metal Gear series goes back some ways, but my actual experience with the games is somewhat sparse. Back in elementary school, Metal Gear was the...
