Teaser images of next gen Madden and Need for Speed

Hold shift, walk to the end of the edge. Press back once to hop back. Hold forward then press and hold jump.

That's so awesome. Problem is, that's acutally freaking boring to do, and there are a lot of jumps that you think are easy to make but realize they aren't when you fail. Sure, you could do that stupid thing all the time..but it's stupid as hell.

" It's really insanely similar to the old Prince of Persia games,"

Except PoP is oon a 2D plane, and judgment is much easier. Oh, and you don't have to hold the walk button to the edge, jump back and run forward.

exactly my point.
I just don't think the next-gen will be a huge leap.

that's my prediction.

Well, with what little we know about Xenon and PS3, you're wrong. :/

It was much quicker to hop back off of the ledge, hoist yourself up and then run jump. It only took a few seconds.

whatever way you do it, its still a very flawed way to handle something that you do most of the game.

For once, would you stop trying to turn everyones fucking opinion, no matter how open ended it may be, into debate club? It's getting real old watching you make shitty attempts to be right, and drone on and on for pages in every single thread.

Oh, and the control scheme in Tomb Raider when it concerned cliffs was fine. Joust just doesn't enjoy the convenience of not running off cliffs and dying every 5 seconds.

No, not really, because it worked fine. What is wrong about it? If you're going to make a long jump that needs momentum, you're going to have to move your character to the far end of the platform somehow and that's a quick way of doing it.

"Joust just doesn't enjoy the convenience of not running off cliffs and dying every 5 seconds."

No, I just don't enjoy a control scheme that is clunky and crappy. I didn't have to do it in the new PoP, and I shouldn't have had to do it there.

Yeah, POP had kick ass controls, but that's 8 years later (?). Sadly, the rest of the game could not compare to Tomb Raider. I'm itching for a combination of the two games.

Wow, EA is gonna have some amazing next gen visuals to go with their constant stat update rehashes and milked to the extent of the jam Bond titles.
