Alternative title for this week: Super Nintenbone.
Comments of the Week is a feature where we scour the front page, community blogs and forums picking out comments. The ones that make you think, the ones that make you laugh and the ones that make you cry (but also laugh), and consolidate them into an entertaining package for the viewing pleasure of you, the Destructoid community.
FromPS Vita has cross-game chat, PS3 probably never will
This reminds me of the wholeSixaxis/Dualshock 3debacle, which played out like this:
“Look, guys, we’d love to give you a PS3 controller with motion sensingandvibration, but itcan’t be done.”
“Look, even if it could be done. You guys wouldn’t want it. Vibration is so last generation.”
“Here are your DualShock 3s! Come and get ’em!”
FromSony says there’s still a market for dedicated handhelds
Scissors delivers somecuttingtruth. [ha! ha!]
FromThe Genesis Kid meets the SNES
This is what the internet would have looked like in 1995.
FromNew PS3 Headset makes you ignore your hot girlfriend
At first I was like sigh and then I was like SENSATIONAL TWIST.
FromThe Question: Would you pay $60 for a 2D platformer?
If it’s only REALLY REALLY REALLY REALLY REALLY REALLY REALLY REALLY REALLY REALLY REALLY REALLY REALLY REALLY REALLY REALLY REALLY REALLY good, then I think I’ll pass.
FromSilent Hill: Book of Memories trailer concerns me
Silent Hillcharacters in a kart racer? What next,Mariocharacters in a psychological horror?
No, that doesn’t count…
FromFemShep 5: Why is this such a big deal?
FromSilent Hill 2 RAGE QUIT
Byronic Man saw an opportunity and he took it. Any one of us would have done the same.
ZombiePlatypus drank a lot of alcohol and posted in the forums. Here is part of what happened.
FromPreview: Lollipop Chainsaw
Talk about misguided hate. I can understand a certain amount of animosity when mythology is used to fill out an otherwise weak premise, but I don’t think thatLollipop Chainsawis that title.
Also,Castlevaniahas been delivering “unmatched stories” now? Since when?
FromWhat game is in your Super Nintendo RIGHT NOW?!
Erm, Genesis and Super Nintendo are the same generation, so I don’t know what you are talking about.
FromHands-on: Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning
Three months ago, Bioware announced they are not “moving away from that crap”:
Also, I presume you’re aGears of Warfan Jimmy. It might interest you that the first game Cliff Bleszinski authored, and the game that got him started in the industry, was a medieval adventure title calledThe Palace of Deceit: Dragon’s Plight. I think you will enjoy the description, taken from theMoby Gameswebsite:
“In this early Windows adventure game, the player directs the actions of Nightshade, a dragon of unusual coloration, as he escapes from a dungeon in Castle Lockemoer, “the Palace of Deceit”, and attempts to revenge himself and his people against the sinister Garth, a wizard attempting to rid the world of Salac of its friendly draconians. Nightshade was imprisoned in an attempt by Garth to obtain the secret location of the hidden Land of Dragons through torture, and now Nightshade will scour every square foot of Garth’s palace, from the subterranean mines to kitchens, libraries, gardens and torture chambers, to find what he needs to overthrow the genocidal Garth: the lost sword of The Great One.”
I find it’s always interesting to find out more about your heroes.
