Also, not to blow anyone's mind or anything but I'm pretty sure the font FFXIII uses for it's UI is the same font Mass Effect uses for the "Normandy" (and other places in the game) font on the ship.
I just love the presentation in this game. It's so nice to look at, and the menu's are so polished. I'll buy it even if it does (hypothetically) have a throwaway storyline, just for the flashy menus! :p
I like the CIA/FBI-debriefing style of this video.
I also love the Duders ability to 'roll' when the camera rolls. They are so skilled after many, many years of doing this stuff. 'Dead Air' is something you won't get with the GB-Squad.
SpaceHorse. Still not sure how soon I want to pick this game up. If it should be a day 1 purchase or if I should just wait till summer or something for a price drop perhaps.
there more in depth than a quicklook but less scripted than a video review. i like it. now we need Ask Me Anything Throwback, where someone explains Dwarf Fortress to me.
ya knovv i really was not interested in this and thought my days of final fantasy where over... but now i think im deff sold on this game altho it seems square enix has taken there blonde haired main charachter pretty boys to the next level and made it a woman
" @august: Well, yeah it does matter. Since that waiting around for the bars to fill up while you can't do ANYTHING means it isn't real bloody time. "
But there are plenty of instances in games where you have to wait for a weapon to cool down or an animation to finish and you can't do anything then either. Just because there's a bar filling up on the screen doesn't make it any more turn based.
Bottom line is that if the game is influenced by the speed you input commands, it's real time because real time is involved. If you can sit there for as long as you want and think out your next move, it's turn based.
Looks stunning. I have no prior experience with this genre, bt this might be the game that's going to introduce me to it. Great video BTW, hoping this is going to become a new segment
