One of the reviews had sticked out to them which prompted the crew to say "If you hate variety, than you've got a problem.", "play more sports games", and "we will not mention the media outlet".

Coming from a dev team that makes AAA titles, I dont blame them because Resistance Fall of Man and Ratchet And Clank Tools of Destruction deserve more credit and reason I point and say RFOM shouldve been AAA because of RFOM>>>>>>>>>PDZ, say what u like but its the honest truth.

Here's what the dev team looks like:

:( :cry:

Tough up men.

They should've sent him a review guide. BlueBarad

lol.

The score here was a little on the low side but lets face it, the game isn't really all that now is it. The same applies to RFOM, it is a great game in its own way but at the time it released (a year after PDZ) it didn't bring anything new.

Bungie was annoyed by the critiques of Halo 3 graphical prowess or (in some peoples opinions) lack thereof. I think they issued a statement defending their art direction which is quite different from what they were critiqued for. So obviously devs do care about their games reviews.

Boohoo we created a generic action platformer, with no online functions or splitsreen multiplayer and Gamespot reviewed it fairly :)Bazfrag

8.5 i'd give you but it isn't a AAA title i'm afraid as the replay value just isn't there.

That's actually pretty childish of them. Shows they can not take criticism. not everyone's gonna like everything facto f life. This reminds me of that other crybaby dev from the PS3 the "Calling All Cars" guy or is that the same team? I don't know. What I DO know is this is the type of profession they chose and really they look unprofessional like a school yard kid cracking "yo momma" jokes cause someone else said something about their momma. Grow up!

:lol: what a bunch of babies. Miyamoto didnt cry when sunshine underperformed but these guys are throwing a fit because their derivative trash got the score it deserved.

here's an idea guys, next time try making a game that isnt just a PS2 game in HD.

It's only Sony developers complaining about scores lately, Jaffe, Insomniac, Factor 5.DaysAirlines

If I recall the Shadowrun devs were crying at the reviews his game got.

apples and oranges. that was a simple response to the concern. this was a cheap, blatant attack. something I'd expect from 18 year olds.

They should've sent him a review guide. BlueBarad

:lol::lol::lol:

It's in the mail!!!! :P

I don't think it's a good idea to rip a Gamespot reviewer - when they probably have a major influence on who buys what games...

Just a little tip for those R&C guys...

I can say the same thing for halo 3, if we go by your logic. What does halo 3 bring that is new to gaming? I thought so, next. :)

Different team. and yes, David Jaffe dedicated a whole blog entry to whining about how people didn't like Calling All Cars (which majorly sucked...yes, I bought it).

What does it offer over the previous versions? Other than better graphics i'd say it actually had less going for it.

7,5 seems fair to me if it got 9 then Mario deserves 13 and Gamespot needs to redo the rating system again.

Remember that out of 10, 5 is the average. So 7.5 means that r&c is well above the average tat but not a genre leading classic. Too many average games get reviews of 8 and above and it has to stop. Thats why i like the new ratings.

Same guys who said SMG immitates R&C right?Ilived

ZING!

PDZ came out a year before and was the first next gen shooter

For anyone who says these devs are childish or they shouldnt do this. Man u try go working on a game that u put many hours into and then see reviews like this saying that is bad to have to much variety. If u dont understand devs point of views then u simply are a one minded idiot, that doesnt think twice. Its like whatever one game site feeds u, u believe it. Lmao I feel bad for u gamers who think that way. :)squallff8_fan

Everyone should be able to accept a little constructive criticism. Of course they want people to like it, but they can't be upset when everyone doesn't. Especially people being paid to review and critique games.

Poor old Insomniac. They knew R&C series was played out. Sad to see they are throwing a fit about it. Should have had online, more challenge, and a different art style.

They are responding to "critics" and not picking on a single person.

It's ok for example for Factor 5 to complain that the Lair reviews are not good. But no ok for them to pick on one reviewer and single her out.

Well considering there's only been 3 Halo games and SIX R&C games with NOTHING REMOTELY changed I'd say it's a bit more stagnant then the Halo games.

I don't think it's a good idea to rip a Gamespot reviewer - when they probably have a major influence on who buys what games...

Stop defending their crying. It's very unprofessional. And yes, it's that simple. 95% of all games SUCK. Shall we expect all of them to cry about scoring because they poured blood, sweat and tears into their release? No. They're professionals.

it also stands to mention that RFOM is not AAA at GR.

Either way, lemmings pointed and laughed.

Best approach is to simply STHU as a developer, becasue responding to someone's review is juvenile. You don't see movie directors pissing and moaning because Ebert & Roper didn't like their stuff, now do you?

No. They're professionals.
