For an example of the absolute best in our industry, every single scene from Enslaved: Odyssey to the West.

Cut them entirely? No. The Uncharted clip merely does best within its limitations by doing what old movies used to do before amazing CG - they very cleverly hide what doesn't work and fill the rest in by the hands of a capable artist. This is evident when Chloe takes drakes arm in her hand. There are no soft-body…

Yeah yeah, when do I get to pay too much for GBA F-Zero?

I know of another one. CarboHydroM made an epic 19-minute rock compilation of ALTTP a while ago. It's very good. [www.carbohydrom.net]

I'm all for reusing (good, finely polished) game engines for sequels but let's face it: Pokemon Company no longer has any excuse after this to give the players what we've been asking for since 1997: A fully 3D pokemon RPG. The last great pillar of 2D mobile gaming is gone. Time to bring in a dev team capable of…

What you just described is a disastrous computational, legal, and user experience testing deathball.

On the Rock Band whale chart, I'm at least a whale. I've invested over $3000 into my Rock Band experience over the lifetime of the series. It's my favorite non-work, and my friends play it with me with great regularity. I don't buy all the DLC that comes out, but I tend to buy at least five songs a month. Outside…

[BLIP IN COMBAT COVERING HEALTH METER! Kinect] You look exhausted. You should take a break!

[BLIP! Kinect] Are you getting sore or tired? You should take a break!

I recommend people play it if they played the first game. The story is well written, and that's what gives the rest a pass for me. The combat is fun, and the gameplay annoyances are few. Production quality in all other areas is something other studios could learn from. Very well acted, scripted, and executed. The…

It's a shame. There's talent in there, but these were all photo-sourced. Give us something that screen captures can't, and spend your time on the pre-drawing making sure the facial structure is on model.

So, just to argue the slippery slope, will light-sabers be banned when the anti-violence groups expand this nonsense to knives and swords?

That's an interesting point, considering the facial rigging is still essentially the same. You have a head mesh with a mouth and no eyes. The eyes are completely done in texture overlays, only they've added more in-betweens and the ability to auto-tween between them. Everything is exceptionally low-poly to make…

I went into Skyward skeptically, but found myself lost in its world. The narrative isn't anything new or special, but it's polished and deeply rooted in its own fiction. What first felt like a painfully slow beginning was washed away when I stopped wondering where the swordplay was and began interacting with the…

The Wii is NOT capable of patching. When you receive a title update on the Wii, you're replacing the operating system that appears when you first turn on your console. When you start up a game, you're running the version of the Wii operating system that was out when that game came out. Read the following story…

Nintendo, seriously, if you don't make the Wii-U capable of TITLE UPDATES you'll have forever lost me. You HAVE TO HAVE TO HAVE TO ditch the ios system.

A commendable effort, but this really doesn't show us much. It looks like you guys have some modelling skill but the rigging/skinning really isn't there yet, hindering your ability to animate. Reworking that, I wouldn't let this work go to waste. I'd love to see you guys take this and create some cinematics with an…

Doesn't really matter how you feel about PETA. If you're an organization with a history that overshadows an attempt to joke around, it's time for a major image overhaul.
