That Starfox was a superb example of this is no surprise, when you consider that the Super FX chip, that powered Mode 7, was designed by Argonaut Games, who helped develop the game: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Super_fx

...the f*ck?
Played the original and sequel Championship to death on my Apple II+ back in the early eighties. One of my favorite platform games of all time, and the reason I still love the platformer genre today, aged 42. Am I going to buy this? Does the pope wear a funny hat while bears shit in the wood?
HAAARHHAHGGTEGKM$£#%VFHAHA:;(€&?;:!! how do I now get coffee out of an iPad...
You're not alone. I'd love for this new version to be made available on PSN/XBLA.
Wholly agrees. Let it rest and let's move on. And no, this is in no way an honourable update to Pitfall. But it looks to be a great Infinite Runner. Too bad those games mean absolutely nothing to me, and Pitfall-esque games do...
You and me both, brother. Why mess with perfection?
It's more an homage to Ray Bradbury's short story The Veldt (hence the title of the track), but the inspiration drawn from Limbo is also clear, yes.
As a long-time fan of racing games with "floaty physics" a la WipEout, Wave Race etc., I remember the Jet Moto (I'm from Denmark) games with a lot of fondness. With the recent success of resurrecting SSX, we can always hope someone looks to this series again.
They miss adult fan mail, eh?
My thoughts exactly before opening the article :)
Piracy? Bah! At a bargain price of 100DKK/17USD I found it mildly entertaining (PS3), but at full price (450DKK/82USD) I really cannot recommend it. And that's probably why it didn't sell.
I am a DANISH freelance video game reviewer. My English writing is sorely lacking unless I get to pore over each sentence a good few times - not likely for commenting, or I'd be two days late with each post :)
Why do you think it a good idea to give a product a low rating because of a douchebag PR guy? In my world, you review items based on the basic functionality. Maybe it's just me, but if you want to get back at morons in the industry, do something like what Penny Arcade did. The other way is stupid, as people will…
I have no opinion abuth the guy reverse engineering the portal, so this goes out to the comments about the concept in itself:
Dude!? Did you just spoil the ending?
I'm with you on this one. I like all kinds of games - artsy as well as actiony - but Heavy Rain was flawed. Making a Move edition didn't help matters, as I felt even less in control of the actors than before. And the ending cements the whole thing, leaving me with a sour taste in my mouth. I can endure a lot for the…
How is this funny? I am a father, and I really cannot see the fun thing in laughing at a kid like this? Kotaku should be above this kind of "news".
And it wasn't even witty. Only true :)
I played the demo and enjoyed it, thinking - as did a few friends - that it presented good value for money (free). Getting the full game and beating it completely in 25 hours only confirmed my opinion. I was thoroughly enjoyed, and the pick-up-and-play-for-a-few-minutes gameplay is superb for a busy family man as…
