Who gained out of Star Citizen and Elite Harmful, the crowdfunded area sim sensations pitched to us a decade in the past by two of the style’s most celebrated recreation administrators? Star Citizen being a religious observe as much as Wing Commander and Privateer, and Elite Harmful being a direct sequel to Elite, Frontier: Elite 2 and Frontier: First Encounters. Properly, it relies upon the way you outline “win”. Or, certainly, “exists”. That is simply one of many Enthusiastic Disagreements we now have on this week’s Greatest Video games Ever Podcast, together with GTA vs Saints Row, Name of Responsibility vs Medal of Honor, and one other one which we won’t keep in mind.
Keep in mind Lemmings vs The People? Properly, Lemmings was this puzzle recreation the place you needed to coax massive teams of the titular rodents throughout more and more fiendish ranges, utilizing such models as: builders. Blockers. Diggers. Different ones. I dunno, it was a very long time in the past and I am 40 (aka lifeless). The People was roughly a Lemmings ‘clone’, proper, they usually had a kind of rivalry occurring that, in my small baby head, was as a lot a defining battle between 90s popular culture icons as Oasis vs Blur, or Oasis vs Ocean Color Scene, or Oasis vs Oasis.
Who gained that rivalry? Properly, this stuff are subjective. You can outline it it phrases of gross sales (exhausting to confirm) or cultural influence (exhausting to quantify), or you could possibly merely base it on which sequence survived longest. Which might give The People the win right here by three years, having launched its final entry on Nintendo DS in 2009. Not that anybody seen. The final Lemmings recreation flopped out to equally minimal fanfare on PSP and PS2 in 2006, and it wasn’t even a correct sequel a lot as an enhanced re-release of the unique. It is notable that each sequence’ guffed their final guff on seventh gen handhelds, and extremely amusing to me that the as soon as beloved Lemmings, of which there’s a bronze statue in Dundee, misplaced this battle to the by no means beloved The People, of which there isn’t any bronze statue. In Dundee or anyplace else.
