Today we look at the upgrades to Bioshock on the PS3, Warner Brothers music is not happy with the amount of money they're getting from Activision, and I rant a little bit about Dennis Dyack.
Informative, cynical, and praiseworthy. The Dennis Dyack portion is a moment that will will hallmark the Greatest Hit reels for Hard News. Bravado! 2 Thumbs Up.
To think it took Ten years to develop HAWT GARBAGE!! this is a fail beyond measure. Great going DYACK! U'll be lucky to break even on this costly Beast.
And even Better yet... this is going to be a TRILOGY!!! W.T. Flyin' F.!
Especially after being in development for around 10 years... Really after watching/reading reviews, it seems to have lots of potential, but that potential is ruined by a bunch of bad things.
Duke Nukem Forever has been in production for 12 years now (i've been anticipating it since I was 8-9 years old... damn...), it better not flop like Too Human... At least it's an FPS, so it's hard to screw those up since they all play the same since Halo came out.

It was in development for over 10 years. It was originally supposed to run under the Quake 2 engine, but they constantly switched game engines so they had to redo a lot of stuff each time. They should have just ran with the Quake 2 engine because by 1998, the game was in a nearly complete state and would have saw a 1999 release date.

Still confused. What I said isn't from anything, if that's what you're trying to get at--it's just a random comment.

To me, Too Human is pretty much Xbox 360s version of Lair: Everyone was thinking it was gonna be an amaizing game, nut it ended up being a big pile of shit. Hell, even Jose was psyched about it.

That's exactly what I was thinking as soon as I heard about Dyack's comments; hit the nail right on the head Destin. It took, what, like 10 years for this game to come out? What a piece of shit.

Damn WB records are really idiots for asking more on royalties from Acticvision, they should have realized they are'nt the biggest suplier of music. Plus, damn, what a idiot developer, I just saw some DMC concept in that video just now. I hope I don't become like an ass like him.

People started judging the game early and saying it was gonna be shit.All Mr.Dyack was doing is defending his game from internet trolls and people who are stupid enough to judge a game before release.

People are just saying they don't like his game for reasonable reasons, and Dyack is calling them too stupid and close-minded to understand how "good" his game is.

I think you just don't get it. You see, you think you know what a good game is, when clearly, his is soooo innovative, it actually CHANGES what good games are.

Seems to be one of those games that people either love, or hate. It's getting mixed reviews, so everyone isn't blasting it. The camera isn't that bad, I'm used to a camera like that from playing PSO for about 3 years.

I got to be honest, destin, but your a bit of a douche. These people, work hard on their games and if they se their brain children beaten of course theyre going to be alittle weird

You didn't even listen did you? You didn't even pay attention to Destin's rant? Maybe you should open your fucking ears and LISTEN TO WHY THERE IS A RANT IN THE FIRST PLACE do the all caps help you get it?

I did not rant about the hard work that these people put into their game. I ranted about how much of a douche Dennis Dyack is being about it.
I actually took game design in college so I know exactly how difficult it is to make a game. I don't know if you've ever made a 3d model in a program like 3ds max, but it's not the easiest thing in the world.
Though they do put a lot of work into a game if I don't like it I'm still going to say I don't like it. Putting a ton of work into something does not give Dennis the right to be an arrogant asshole, and insult others intelligences by saying it's so deep we can't understand it.
I was actually referring to your entire attitde to these people. The first 10-20 hard news were funny, then you got unatturaly creul and it wasnt funny, then it got funny again when you lightnd up, but then it got creul again, an now it's at the middle. Just speaking my opinion
Dennis Dyack is probably the most narcassistic game designer I have ever seen. He has hyped Too Human to the moon. If you look back at some of the egregious claims he has made, it is nothing short of absolute stupidity. I can post links to be an asshole, but here's one great example - he went to a forum called Neogaf and made a bet with forum members on the quality of the title.
Go Activision!
I feel unclean... So unlcean... UNCLEAN...

Scuse me, need to go vomit blood for a bit.
Loading but not playing
Movie won't play. Tried another blip.tv movie (yesterday's hard news) and it was fine.

Really? So innovative that we just don't get it? Destin, you've chosen yourself A mighty rant worthy target.
I've Obviously Had Hundreds Of Girlfriends.
Hmm, looks like Denis Dyack

"The game is so innovative, you just cant handle it."
Sounds like such a fucking douchebag.
video problems *again*
as soon as i start it my firefox browser freezes and crashs
Once again
the Brits have problems with the videos.
Why is it just us? And possibly other EU countries?
based on the video clip
Too Human reminds me of devil may cry. doesn't seem that innovative if it looks similar to another game huh? perhaps i'll stick with DMC :-p.
Maybe he's an ass.
But I like Too human it's pretty good fun.

Thanks for the heads up Devon!
Destin is the man!
When i saw him on the first HN episode i didn't really like him, but now he's, kinda grown on me...like a fungus. Keep tellin it like it is!
