I've never been so extremely excited and so extremely pissed off at the same time.
Need...to...vent.
I nearly shat myself when I seen the headline on the frontpage. And after viewing the trailer, it's a cool little Indy adventure short, but you can't judge ANYTHING from it.
It's not actual gameplay and it's not the actual graphics. So basically all this trailer does is signify that Staff of Kings still has a pulse. A faint pulse, but still a pulse.
The whole thing is such an enormous tease. And not a good one. This trailer is a very very VERY cruel tease. It shows you how great this game could look if it was next gen. And then it announces that it's not.
Ouch.
I have a PS2 (which might as well be considered a dusty old artifact by today's standards) and a DS. I probably will pick up both versions.
But I fear that this game will suck, quite frankly. It will suck hard.
It's been in development hell for 3 or 4 years. There's been barely any news. The next gen versions have seemed to be scrapped. Frankly it seems like a failed project. IMO the only reason they're going to release these is to make some quick cash. The game will probably be glitchy, broken, and outright forgotten for the strange release it's going to get.
These types of games are usually mediocre at best.
But there still could be hope. Perhaps the handheld versions will be good seeing as their usually much different from the console versions. The PS2 version could have a chance. Since it's not a next gen game, it may not be a fuzzy bland port. It may capitalize on the PS2's great attributes. I mean, MGS2, God of War, and the Splinter Cell games still look fantastic and are as epic as next gen sometimes even more so.
So there's still hope.
Just because it's not next gen doesn't mean it will suck. There's just a high chance it will
And as for the Wii? Well, 3/4 of it's game library is pretty bland according to most review sites. But who knows.
We need more news. I still can't wait to play it.
But my god what could have been
