Haven’t bloged here for a while now, but I have bloged a lot more on my project blog which you can find here. For the time being I spend most of my time with my specialisation project, sitting at home coming up with game ideas. But that ends today since I’m now up at my 100 ideas that is required for the first phase of the project.
I have also found quite a lot of time to play games lately. I finished Prince of Persia yesterday, the ending is controversal but I won’t get into that more here. I also tested the Resident Evil 5 demo that Capcom released on Xbox Live marketplace earlier this week, it is as slow as RE4 pretty much. The control might have gotten a little better but I still can’t stand it. Its slow when turning and you can’t run and shoot at the same time, its nothing that you normaly see in todays tps/fps which I think it could have used. But I think the RE serie always have had a kinda rough control, it is just a guess since I haven’t played more then number four serious but I’ve tried the PC demos on a couple of the older ones and well I can recall its being a though control. But hey, people like the game apperantly because if they wouldn’t, we wouldn’t see number 5 in the serie.
About Prince of Persia, its a nice game, I like the easy controller where you actually don’t have to jump at the exact right angle to get where you are supposed to. Its streamlined formed to make the flow in the game better which I think it succeds in. Many have complained about the Prince being a jerk but I think it kinda fits him, the voice and his attitude. I think it would have been a little bit more boring if the Prince never said anything and only was totally focused on the goal of the game.
I went past Mikabo furnitures on my way home from the gym and checked when we were going to get our new bed. It’s going to be shipped from the manufactury next week which means that we might have it get in late next week or early the week after that. Feels good and I looking forward to it. We have to rearrange the furnitures in the bedroom with the computer table going out in the living room and the old bed being placed in the shelter down in the basement.
My latest trend in games is indie games, I’ve played a couple of quite good ones, some only pretto and so on. I played Passage, a small game which takes some time to get but when you do its quite obvious, its not a very fun game thou. I also played Nuito Love which is a small old school game, I think it have been made in sweden even. Its pixels and action, very good looking even when the resolution is like 320×240 or whatever it is. I also downloaded The Graveyard and looking forward to Tale of Tales upcoming game the Path, a short horror game which looks quite cool.
This is my third blog today and I’ve spent between 10 and 30 minutes in the darkness of my bathroom trying to come up with ideas. It worked and I walked out of there with ten new ones. Now I am going to clean the appartment and then in an hour we have a skype meeting with AK.
Smell you all laters
