FEATURED POST
Star developer John Romero is creating an archive of video-game history. If successful, the archive will give video games something no other medium has: documented evidence of its early years.

This post is about my perspective on the notion of value and how it differentiates between publishers and developers.

This post was inspired by Brendon Mroz's piece, Print is Dead; Long Live Print. I started thinking about what it would take to get me to pick up a gaming magazine again. Nostalgia aside, I don't think it would take much... but things would certainly have to be different this time around.

How does music affect gameplay? Are games art? How do I start my own game company? What does Will Wright have to say about new media? I may not have specific answers to these questions, but each issue was thoroughly discussed by accomplished game developers and enthusiasts during the last two days of IndieCade.

Hollywood, seems pretty desperate these days. It's ironic that the Uncharted movie is going to be a distillation of an action game that's already a distilation of action movies...
Don't get me wrong... I love Uncharted, but I really hope this doesn't happen. Just like Gears of War, Metroid, and Halo movies which were halted mid production... And why aren't "Uncharted writers" writing the script!

Yeah good points. I think there should always be away to find the collectibles via a map or something. Even with a map it is still hard. I am only missing one or two blast shards in Infamous and it drives me nuts. I have looked every where for those dang things. Eventually, I just gave up. I don't want to have to scour every inch of those islands to find the shards I already spent a ton of time scouring them for all those side missions.
The same thing happened to me in the first Assasin's Creed.
Also a ton of people are out there uploading guides to finding all those collectibles but it is such a hassle to switch between your phone/computer and the game. I did this for Brutal Legend and I will never do it again.
Developers have nothing to loose from "telling" us the answers ... on the other hand I feel like collectibles often break me out of the game as with Assasins Creed where I just stopped caring about the story and started scouring every city for flags....they are hard to ignore... even if you are being chase you don't want to forget a flag in case you end up missing it later. I digress... I enjoyed the collectibles in Uncharted 2 though - not too many so I would always forget about them until I found one by accident.

The VGA's are like a train wreck. A terrible spectacle that you just can't turn away from.
