Weekend Confirmed 108 - Resident Evil 6, Lost Planet 3, Fez, Super T.I.M.E. Force
by Garnett Lee, Apr 13, 2012 11:00am PDTAndrea, the two Jeff's, and Garnett waste no time getting right to all the new info on Resident Evil 6, Lost Planet 3, and Devil May Cry coming out of Capcom's recent press event. They also have a few quick updates from a similar event held by Namco that unveiled a PC version of Dark Souls and provided an update on the status of a western release for Ni No Kuni. We also get a first look at FEZ and Andrea shares some of what she saw at PAX East, including the awesome-sounding indie, Super T.I.M.E. Force. There's much more along the way as well before putting the Finishing Moves on this episode.

There have indeed been a lot of interesting reveals regarding Halo 4's multiplayer this week. Anyone who spends 10 minutes in the Halo Waypoint forums will see what a massive shit-storm these announcements have caused, with Halo fans jumping to all sorts of wild conclusions.
I think the problem is not the details we've been given, but the lack of context around those details. We hear "customizable loadouts", and of course the fans freak out over the supposed similarity to Call of Duty. But then we have Franky come out and say "No, we're not doing anything like Call of Duty". Ok, fine..... then what are you doing? We hear that players will be able to upgrade their armor, which leads to concerns that balance will get disrupted (again, a la COD). But then Franky comes out and says "don't worry, it won't harm balance". Ok, cool...... but how?
We're being given just enough info to jump to conclusions, but not enough info to actually formulate an understanding of how the game is going to play.
Personally, I have complete faith in 343. They are a studio full of Halo fans, and they understand what makes Halo fun. I trust that they wouldn't make any changes that harm what makes Halo special. BUT I think they need to stop giving us these little sprinkles of vague info. I feel like they would be better off picking one or two features and really telling us EVERYTHING about them.
