Greenlight success stories
Watch The Wolverine Online A new research survey report from Strategy Analytics' ConsumerMetrix poll has suggested that consumer buying trends are all but officially confirmed to fall in favor of the PlayStation 4 when it comes to purchasing decisions for this holiday season. The report was let loose on a PR newswire, where the survey from Strategy Analytics gauged more than 6,000 participants to see what game console they intended to buy within the first twelve months of release: the Xbox One or the PlayStation 4.
Watch The Conjuring Online Mobile gamers have plenty of other opportunities to play the first Hotline Miami anyway. The game is currently available on PC, Mac, Linux, Xbox 360, PlayStation Vita and PS3. You don't even need a good computer to run it. It's a sprite-based game that looks like it was built for Sega Genesis. You'd need an ancient rig not to be able to play it.
Watch The Wolverine Online It's not completely impossible to create a twitch game with touchpad controls. Team Meat, for example, is currently making an iOS version of the notoriously difficult platformer Super Meat Boy. However, the iOS version is a complete remake of the game. Transforming a console/PC game into a mobile experience isn't a trivial process. Instead of slaving away at an iOS port, Dennaton Games has decided to make a sequel to Hotline Miami. Hotline Miami 2 is set years after the events of the first game. Players will take on the role of a group of fans seeking to emulate the vigilante from HM1, as well as a film crew trying to create a slasher film based on his exploits. New weapons are promised as well as a Horde mode. I don't know about you, but a brand new sequel sounds like a better use of Dennaton's time than a mobile version with cocked-up controls.
Watch Despicable Me 2 Online As another Twitter user points out to Dennaton, though, Apple will be implementing native controller support for their smartphones and tablets with iOS 7. Players could hypothetically use a gamepad to play an iOS version of Hotline. Problem solved, right? Total Biscuit points out that the vast majority of iOS gamers won't have these controllers, though. To put it another way: there's probably not enough iOS gamers out there playing with controllers to justify a controller-only release. Dennaton Games, in a bid to accommodate everyone, would therefore have to include touch controls. Touch controls that, as we said, would probably be awful and widely disliked.
Watch The Heat Online In practice, though, D3 is less scary than that butler in Tomb Raider 2. You're not running away from those hordes of monsters; you're throwing yourself in the middle of them and laughing your ass off while blood, guts and loot fly everywhere. I hope that PS3 gamers uninitiated with Diablo know that it's a loot-driven hack-and-slasher rather than some sort of Paranormal Activity-inspired survival horror game. This has me thinking, though: what would it take to make Diablo scary? Assume that you want to keep all of the main elements of the series intact: the hordes of monsters, the absurd power of the player characters, the piles of loot, and the co-op. What could you do to make it scary?
A good start might be to ditch the isometric camera. I don't think you can really frighten a player with a perfect bird's eye view of the battleground. Forcing them into a first-person perspective that allows enemies to ambush them could make for a very tense experience. I wonder whether Hellraid - pretty much a first-person Diablo - will be able to offer any scares? Diablo 3 will hit the Xbox 360 and PS3 on September 3rd. A PS4 version is also in development but currently undated. The console editions will come loaded with new features, including a redesigned UI and local co-op. Controls are a big sticking point for a mobile port. Hotline Miami is a top-down shooter in which players die from taking any damage. Even with a gamepad, you die constantly to stray gunfire. Touchscreen controls are less precise and would make the game almost unplayable. Or the developers would be forced to make the controls too easy (tap the enemy to shoot him?) and remove the challenge that makes the game so satisfying in the first place.
If you need more convincing you could always check out our review of the game or, if you feel like jumping in for yourself, soon you'll be able to do exactly that on the PC. We announced last week that Deadly Premonition would be making an appearance on Greenlight, a fan-centric system that lets the players decide which games will arrive on Valve's digital distribution service. Now Steam has announced the latest batch of Greenlit titles, including Deadly Premonition: The Director's Cut.
This latest batch of Greenlight success stories include two software titles, Dexster Audio Edito and GraphicEditor openCanvas, as well as 12 games. Along with Deadly Premonition, these titles include A Hat in Time, Among the Sleep, BROFORCE, Centration, Chasm, Darkwood, Divekick, Operation Black Mesa, Project Awakened, Recruits, Rekoil, Shelter and StarMade. It's a big, beefy list of awesomeness, and you can dig into each of those titles by clicking on their individual links within the official announcement.
