you still completely ignore the fact parabiee that i have -every- right to think the game underaachieves if i want to!!
you are OF COURSE free to like it yourself -
As for the right number and format of competitions, it has them correct as far as 96/97 is concerned I believe. And since it's career mode is still head and shoulders above everything else out there then I see nothing to complain about. maybe we will get accurate 2008 structures next year.
lets hope so - but given the delays the game has already suffered, surely it could have been added?
I can help but see this as Codemasters laziness. I honestly believe other developers would have made a better job of it.
And I think you couldn't be more wrong about updates ass-ons Horace. Many XBLA arcade games have had expansions and add-ons released. Worms (another Amiga classic) has had a new weapons and levels added for instance. You say it's only "the big ones", well not only is that not true but in my mind SWOS is one of the biggest they have had, don't recall any other XBLA game being announced on stage during an E3 press conference!
well, sorry - but i've made that statement from what i've been told by other X360 owners. And by big games i mean full-price releases that get the development they need BECAUSE they cost more. With less provit to be made on a game like this, development investment is going to be limited.
In fact I would be suprised if they didn't plan on making this a yearly franchise. It would be cheaper than making a new Fifa/Pro Evo every year and the past has proven people will buy updated footie games each year.
maybe they will, because it would be another way for Codemasters to milk money out of Sensible's excellent work.
The new version of SWOS may not be all that it can be but it is a GREAT start!
yeah, maybe it is a good start, but what i was debating was the fact you claimed the game surpassed the original. Sorry if it hurts you to hear me say this again, but in my eyes it cant do this with a graphics update.
(a pc version is still very likely)
please show me any evidence of this, as i certainly havent seen it. all mention of the Vista version (oh great, even a PC version is limited to an OS that even many PC owners are trying to avoid) seems to have vanished.
And when I did all I hoped for was HD widescreen support and online play, so everything else is a bonus.
Good for you. My visions are broader, and i want to see it done the best. Is that a crime?
Although I think you give away your anti-Microsoft feelings in several statements and I have a feeling this is more about hating Xbox and being annoyed that the only platform it is currently on is one actively hate. I have a feeling if it came out on PC or PS3 on the same day you would have been happy with it. You are looking for reasons to justify not wanting it because you don't want an Xbox 360.
so if i hate MS so much, why would i want to see -at least- a PC version? why would i run a PC at home at all?? and my would I want a PS3 version since i dont have one of those either?
Admittedly, i do beleive if the licence had gone to Sony, we would have been more likely to see a PS3, PSP and maybe even a PS2 version. Alas we will never know. Perhaps in the future... but that doesnt change my opinion of the -current- offering.
To say this version of SWOS does not genuinely deserve your support just because it has only made some improvement and not everything on you dream list is offensive to me.
YOU are -personally- offended becuase i think a game does not fulfil its potential?? Well i'm not apologising for a difference of opinion. You'll have to learn to live with it i'm afraid. The comments are not directed at you, and you are quite free to enjoy the game yourself (although your want for my approval here baffles me)
That is not the statement of a true SWOS fan,
not a "true swos fan"?? oh dear oh dear. That's right up there, it really is.
I don't care how much time you spend editing SWOS stats, a true fan supports the survival and future of the brand.
A brand that i believe owes all to Sensible Software and the team, and not to the classically under-achieveing Codemaster's team. Remember Sensible Soccer 06? remember the screenshots of Cannon Fodder 3D for the PSP? The evidence is there that Codies have been trying to grab what they can from the success of Sensible is pretty easy to see in my eyes.
do you seriously expect me to support the game by buying it for a system i dont own? or even want to own?
And I am sorry to say that UAE SWOS will never bring SWOS to a new audience,
i never said it would. I agree that's a benefit of the new version, but i've already stated how limited i think that new audience will be (Xbox360 owners and err... no one else) - lets hope you are right and future revisions are coming for other platforms.
Critiique such as mine is always going to be harsh for some to hear, but i only do it becuase i want the best, and beleive everyone else also deserves the best from SWOS.
Without criticism, nothing improves.
The king is back, all hail SWOS, and kill the heretics :-D
now please, lets leave it here. i like your passion, but please dont get offended when people dont agree with you. I repsect that you like the game, and can see not ill in any form of SWOS presented, fair enough.
I only ask you to respect my differnece of opinion, especially considering i can justify my views. It is only a game after all, even if the game is SWOS
