News::X360A - Thief First Impressions Preview Next-Gen Steps Further Out of the Shadows

X360A - Reboots are a tricky thing. Balancing the nostalgia, making the game current whilst all the time keeping intact the pillars of the original and ingraining them into the reboot. Well, my friends, that is what we call one hell of a bitch thing to do. In this generation reboots have come and reboots have gone, some have failed dismally whilst others have absolutely nailed it. A great example of the latter is Deus Ex: Human Revolution, designed, developed and published by Eidos Montreal and Square Enix; the same collaboration behind the next-generation Thief reboot. Thats a good start already.

"Bioshock Infinite is blatant and heavy-handed with its anti-racism campaign inherent in almost every single part of Colombia and in Booker's history. Upon starting the game, you'll explore beautiful streets adorned with ladies in dresses, kids playing in a carnival atmosphere, and quaint street stands. Soon, you're confronted with the city's dark secret when given a choice between throwing a ball at a white man and a black woman, or at the racist announcer himself." - MMGN

Metal Arcade: Nate Gray writes: Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn's release is on the horizon, and early indicators have our interest piqued. Final Fantasy as an MMO franchise seems almost cursed to initial failure. The original 2003 launch of Final Fantasy XI was met with disdain, surprising people with excruciating grind and difficulty aimed at encouraging party play, not including the myriad of server and social issues. It eventually found its niche audience and has since proven a moderate success with a stable, even fanatical, fan-base. Whether Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn can redeem the original release's terrible launch is yet to be seen, but early indicators have our interest piqued.

When I first discovered the existence of internet forums, I was excited about the whole idea of discussing my favorite video game with people from the around the world. One of my first posts was about the narrative I created involving Shepards love triangle with Liara and Miranda. For some odd reason, people started calling me names and accused me of ludicrous assumptions. People attacked me by saying that I was such a horrible person and I must be a cheater in real life. If I am to follow that logic, I cheat on my romantic partners in video games therefore I am a douchebag in real life. Absurd, really. Granted, there are some choices I make in video games that reflect my values and beliefs but theres also something called creative storytelling.
