Re: Official Video Games Thread VI: Somebody set us up the bomb

Gamespot has an insane gameplay trailer from Saints Row: The Third. A strange mission where you fight in virtual reality. Its like Tron and the Matrix mashed into one.

To be frank, I was not that impressed with GT5. It just seemed like GT4+. Half the car models were lifted right from the PS2 for fark's sake.

Amen to that. I was supremely p*ssed off to find a game, that despite over a year of delays, was essentially a copy and paste POS. Might be the last of the series I ever buy.

While I didn't play GT4 that much, and eventually got bored of GT3, GT5 was a breath of fresh air. I do agree on the umpteen million versions of the same model car, though. That always was a peeve of mine. And like there's a real difference between the Nissan X 369738962 and Nissan X 697987234 John Doe KHGET.

The only redeeming quality of GT5 was the Top Gear track. If the game was a plate at a nice restaurant, I'd have sent it back in a heartbeat.

I friggin' hate the Top Gear track. Hate it. What I like are the seasonal events, it presents some new challenges. I like the endurance events, although I've only done a couple, due to the obvious time factor. Actually, scratch that. I love the seasonal events. You HAVE to tweak your car(s) for some races, and you still don't have to be a gearhead to do it (which I am not).

So, are they the Madden of car games? Test Drive has fallen so far they don't even matter anymore. Christ, I remember when that game was the sh*. Apple IIe FTW.
 
Re: Official Video Games Thread VI: Somebody set us up the bomb

Played the demo for FIFA 12. The gameplay is better, although the AI for attacking opponents is a bit too good. There's definitely more scoring opportunities, but the contain and shoulder check features are good additions.

No, they're not Madden. Madden releases on time :p

Test Drive did a series relaunch that's pretty neat. You get the entire island of Oahu to play with (along with Ibiza in the sequel.)

Anyone know what the roster limit is for NCAA 12 (PS3 if it matters)?

grayshirts notwithstanding?

I haven't opened my copy of NCAA Football yet, but my understanding from various message boards is that there are no grayshirts and a firm roster limit of 70 instead of 85.

No, I know. Grayshirting is something I don't see the NCAA as explicitly approving. IIRC, there was a huge controversy in the SEC a year or two ago about this.

70 player limit seems very silly to me.

I don't know why they set it at 70. I've seen theories online.

Im sure its a management issue. Having to manage 15-35 more players could require much more processing time, etc but honestly its just frustrating because it makes it harder to develop players..
