I don't think so, the majority of current console constituency has been raised with twin stick shooters.

It's actually not that bad once you get used to it... there's far bigger problems with console fps (z-axis? never heard of it! the new patch allows you to raise your fov to a whopping 30! I heard you like health management so it now regenerates at twice the rate!) There's a few Wii fps games which work surprisingly well with the Wii controller, though it takes some getting used to (and the controller is still lacking in reliable tracking regardless) 

I am playing this on PS3 right now, but posting here since supposedly the PC version is even better. DO GET THIS GAME. It's stupidly good. Some very amazing level design. Also the first Tomb Raider game in over a decade that actually got me interested. 

the ld in this One is quite amazing, if Not to say briliant. yes!
evryone should at least live it a try. 

Indie dev Lunar Software just released a new trailer for Routine, a SS2 style space exploration/horror game. LOOKS SICK! Permadeath btw :)))

is too "ouch, I'm so emotional and helpless" for my taste.

Old Lara was a kickass rich British sexually confident adventurer. Apparently that is not a role that's accepted for women in Western society anymore. We have become too touch feely for that.

All Crystal Dynamics TRs have great level design, btw. I'd almost go so far as to say, "all TRs have good level design". 

"ouch, I'm so emotional and helpless"

Keep playing, that doesn't last very long at all. 

Looks awesome. They seem to be fans of Dark Souls at that developer so they definitely have good taste in games.
I didn't think you liked hard games DaZ?

NOOOOOO!!!!!!!!! 

Thanks for posting that. As you've stated, it looks (and sounds) sick - definitely one to look forward to. 

reminds me of a UT2K4 mod called Hollow Moon 

New Lara is too "ouch, I'm so emotional and helpless" for my taste.

That's kinda the point, this game is a prequel/reboot which is timeline-wise Lara's first actual expedition ever, so she is very green. That being said, Lara gradually stops being so afraid and emotional about 1/4 into the game as she gets accustomed with the situation she has to deal with. 

... is so gay ... czg would love this :P

Too much twink for me. Bring on the bears. 

why is the resolution locked for Dark Souls?

Please tell me I can change it. 

You can change the game client resolution as you would in any other game, but the resolution of the internal renderer is locked. To unlock it use: http://blog.metaclassofnil.com/?tag=dsfix 

but I still dont understand why that decision would be made by the game developers. Why allow client resolution changes if the renderer is locked? Thats like zooming. 

I don't know about DS, but many games nowadays decouple world drawing from gui drawing. That way the gui is always crisp even when you don't have the power to do full high res. I like that feature a lot.

Not saying locking the world renderer is a good thing tho. 

The PC port of DS is ridulously lazy one. In case you havent noticed, in-game hints only include XBOX button suggestions even if you don't actually use a controller.

On a sidenote, you should play the game with a controller, even on a PC, it plays much better that way. 

In the case of Dark Souls it is pretty much straight up a bad port. The devs admitted that they didn't have any experience with PC dev and this was a hack job.

Thankfully DSFix exists though and takes like 15 mins to set up. 

Horrible, near-unwatchable headbob. And mandatory perma-death is a mandatory non-purchase, of course. Atmosphere looked good tho. 

Agree re headbob and atmosphere. Hope the headbob is adjustable and the atmosphere is consistent. Not sure re perma-death. Could be effective in a horror setting, but depending on overall difficulty and etc might be a deal breaker. Thanks for the heads up

It's on Steam as well, and the summer sales are coming up. 

Perma-death is a gameplay feature for sure, it's a space opera rogue-like. The game is different each time you play according to dev interviews.

headbob is probably adjustable, it's UE3 so there will be a config option at the very least. Probably worth a punt if there's a demo.
