Namco mentions Enslaved and “going forward” in the same comment

Regarding Enslaved, its story and background are interesting, the gameplay mechanics are ok, but the level design comes from another era… Feels like playing the first 3D platform titles on the PS1 (GEX 3D, etc.).

If they change that last part, they could make it an even better game

I loved everything about the game! Maybe, just make the combat a little bit richer the next time around and I’ll be a happy camper.

I still might give this a go once it hits a tenner. Just to see, like.

For the most part I liked Enslaved. The fighting the Mechs thing got boring, I preferred the exploring sections.

However one of my gamer mates said that you should be able to play as Trip and then it wouldn’t be the standard “big strong man comes to aid helpless female” story. Have to say I agree with her, I know that’s the essence of the original tale, but it’s a bit out of date now.

Big strong man helping small female maybe outdated, but its a classic archetype. In fact its a….

Tale as old as time
True as it can be
Barely even friends
Then somebody bends
Unexpectedly

Just a little change
Small to say the least
Both a little scared
Neither one prepared
Beauty and the Beast

Ever just the same
Ever a surprise
Ever as before
Ever just as sure
As the sun will rise

Tale as old as time
Song as old as rhyme
Bitter sweet and strange
Finding you can change
Learning you were wrong

Certain as the sun
Rising in the East
Tale as old as time
Song as old as rhyme
Beauty and the Beast

Tale as old as time
Song as old as rhyme
Beauty and the beast

COME ON – its a new world with new characters, what’s not to like in a world of FIFA and CoD ad infinitum? It was great to try something that looked and felt a little different (I thought the slight old-school mechanics were rather charming).

It’d be even better if they’re allowed to evolve the gameplay mechanics and do something new with the world… and its not something I can see becoming an endless series – just a cool, neat set of three tales perhaps.

Agree with Goffee. I recieved Enslaved as a Christmas present and just toally love it to bits. The characters, the emotion, the post-apoc setting that ISN’T a grey wasteland.

Completely fell in love with it.

So yeah, more please

yeah i’m with Goffee and Glory I got it for christmas and played it through in a couple of days. I loved the characters they actually felt like people.

Plus Andy Serkis is a fucking legend

Agreed – I think this ranks up there with some of Serkis’ best work.

if they added some depth/complexity to the platform elements (i.e. more use of the B/circle button for grabs etc) then I;d defo be sold on the sequel.

I would have liked to have seen this sell a lot more than it has. You have to feel for Ninja Theory a bit.

here are some tips for sure success.

MAKE THE GAME LONGER!, ADD MORE FIGHTING COMBOS/POWERS ( LIKE IN HEAVENLY SWORD)!, MORE ENEMY TYPES, ADD BONUSUS/EXTRAS FOR AFTER COMPLETING THE GAME!, CHANGE PUBLISHERS!, ADD MORE CUTCENES AND MAKE THE STORY BETTER!

This game was brilliant and I’m telling (not asking) you to go buy it because Ninja Theory deserves props for this game. Stop playing CoD you brain dead fools and play true digital art.

I didn’t like the game at all. Didn’t really find anything good about it. For the record, I don’t play CoD or other FPS anymore either once i beat the campaign.

im sorry TEA, this is the only time ive disagreed with you. The only good thing about the game was the battles against to t-rex/dog and the few mins of gliding with the board. It felt like a last gen game. i dont know how the hell it got a rating of 80 on metacritic. Apparently this game was to have awesome cutscenes and like uncharted2, blur the line between movie and game. One reviewer said it did a better job than uncharted 2.. The whole time of playing enslaved i did not see more than one proper cutscene, like the ones in uncharted. There was just a few in game cut scenes that were short. Where the hell was the strong bond and relationship between the two characters that some reviewers spoke about? How the fuck could they compare the story and movie like experience being on the same level as uncharted 2.. Heavenly sword did a much better job when it came to story and cutscenes. Trip was boring, and only had any emotional response when her died. They should have had the original team of Heavenly sword make this game, or atleast play uncharted a few more times..

I’m sure Ninja Theory wasn’t given much dev money and time to properly do a triple A game. Remember they were coming off the rep of Heavenly Sword which didn’t do so well and I’m sure Namco took that into consideration of what they could do money and time wise.

I like Enslaved. If Capcom has faith in them that they will revive the DMC series then I guess I’m not alone. Enslave was a test and they passed to me with a B+

I loved the first Enslaved and if there is a sequel i will be definitely in.
