Podcast #122 Questions

[Darknezz]

Post your questions for next week's podcast!

Dylan from California (Darknezz in chat)

Would you guys prefer that game developers work on fine tuning animations, textures, and the general atmosphere of a game further than what they feel is complete, or would you rather have them work on new ideas and game mechanics and get them perfect before release? The obvious choice is both, but developers won't give that much time to games, so which would you prefer?

Has there ever been a moment while playing a game (maybe not during a broadcast) that made you stop for a moment and think about what exactly about that game or that part of the game made it fun or bad? If so what game made you think this?

Do you have or know of a game that when you play, would always put you in a good mood?

Also, has a game ever put you in a really bad mood for an extended period of time?


In short: Has a game ever really effected your mood for an extended period of time, and did anything noticeable happen during this mood change?


Thanks, and keep it up as always.

If you were to choose performance from graphics, which would you pick,
in other words
a game that has really awesome graphics but really laggy
or a game that looks really bad, but runs smoothly.
which one would you prefer

Gaming has been becoming more and more popular with the iphone recently, and with Apple competing with Microsoft, do you think Apple would ever consider creating a video game console of its own?

and if so, what are you thoughts on what it would be like.

As most of us know, the Japanese version of FF7: Advent Children on Blu-Ray comes with a playable demo of FF 13. However, the Amercan version will not have a playable demo, but a gameplay video instead. Why do you thnk Square chose to do this and do you think this decison will hurt the sales of Advent Chldren here in the U.S.
