New developer diary for the best arcade title this gen - Shadow Complex!

[QUOTE="BioShockOwnz"]

[QUOTE="navstar29"] Bio isn't the only one, there's quite a few that are ready to do just about anything for this game and I don't exactly see why. It doesn't stand out as that amazing. It looks like it will be fun no doubt. But Trine has a more beautiful artstyle imo and has similar 2d style gameplay, not sure whether Shadow Complex has co-op though, I believe it does if I remember what I saw at E3 correctly, which should be a lot fun too.

Also note that Quest for Booty had a great story, had cinematics, great graphics for a PSN title and albeit its about 1/3rd to 1/2 of the "proclaimed length of Shadow Complex". So long as Shadow Complex has no variety it should do just fine on GS. navstar29

Believe me, Trine falls apart. While the game is beautiful and the physics-based platforming is awesome at times, the ending completely ditches what made it so awesome and becomes a chore, even though it's short. It makes you go "Wtf were they thinking?!". There's a reason 'Splosion Man scored higher than Trine. It's unique, fun, challenging, rewarding, but most of all, it never loses its momentum, which the same can't be said for Trine. Shadow Complex will outperform both.

Also, the normal length of Shadow Complex isn't 1 1/2 - 2 hours. That's a marathon run through the game. 1UP said it was about 6 hours on ListenUP. R&C is also comparable to a PS3-style release like Warhawk, or an Xbox 360 retail game, NOT an arcade game. Actually, it's more comparable to The Lost & Damned episodic content for GTA IV. The only difference being you don't need a disc to boot it, and also it's about 8 hours shorter than The Lost & Damned.

dying to play this game!!! cant wait. day one purchase! its gonna score above an 8.5 for sure!

Eh, I rather download super metroid for half the price and 3 times the content personally.

and youve already played thru Shadow Complex and got 100% before the game is even out? either that or how exactly would you know how much content is in the game? oh you dont.

And thats honestly sad to hear about Trine. I was really looking forward to getting it on PSN. But Brad Shoemaker really liked it though, and I've coincided with his opinions most of the time, hopefully this is one of them.

Still don't see what makes Shadow Complex so amazing for some of you. To me it just looks fun, not amazing though.

lol Nathan Drakes ugly twin? (judging from that pic)Im gonna watch it now.

I havent seen anything on it since MS E3 conference but i remember it looking real slick. This will probably be my arcade game of 09. I also read in an interview the devs are aspiring for a Metroid vibe. That can only be win.

Looks good, but why no PS3:(-Pred-Alien-

I can't wait. I agree with you Bio. This game is going to be amazing. I predict 9.0

What Nolan North voices him no way?

It was already confirmed he voices the main character. Watch the video I posted. He talks.
