During a PS Vita Press Conference on Friday, Sony Computer Entertainment Taiwan announced the PS Vita will launch in Taiwan on December 23, at the conference SCET's new spokeswoman Rainie Yan, a well known celebrity in Taiwan, came out and spoke to the media. During the interview when asked about her favorite PlayStation game, Rainie claimed that her favorite is Nintendo's "Super Mario Bros" - a game that never appeared on PS platforms.
Her answer wow the crowd at the press confernece, aware that something went wrong, she started posing to the media to shift the attention. However when she started holding the PS Vita on her hand, she held it upside down, and of course she became media attention again with her reckless behavior! It seems she is either clueless on video games, or she hates Sony.

Shaqnews said:
The days of Game Sharing for PlayStation owners is over. Previously, downloaded content from the PlayStation Store could be shared across five devices. While the policy was originally intended to allow flexibility for consumers that owned multiple systems, many gamers exploited it by sharing their passwords--essentially allowing one purchase to be used freely across up to five machines.
That policy is changing beginning November 18th, with newly purchased content being restricted to two machines, not five.
The new terms of service will allow users to play PlayStation content on up to 2 activated systems. For example, PS3 games will be available on up to 2 activated PS3 systems; PSP games will be available on up to 2 activated PSP systems. Once the Vita releases, it will also adhere to the same restrictions.
The revised policy will not affect game purchases made before November 18th.
According to Sony, the new policy will "protect the rights of content providers." However, some PlayStation users are already calling it "restrictive and unfair DRM" and "anti-consumer." Of particular concern are consumers that have failed consoles, which were unable to be deactivated before malfunctioning. Sony says that it will be providing a new PlayStation Network account management website, allowing users to remotely deactivate PSN accounts via the web--similar to how iTunes works.
For more on how to deactivate a PS3/PSP system, visit PlayStation customer support.

As the owner of a rescued dog, I tend to support PETA in its calls for animal rights. However, sometimes that organization has a tendency to go overboard. Like right now. The animal rights group has lodged a complaint against Electronic Arts and DICE's Battlefield 3 in press release form (via BF3Blog), calling out the game's "sadistic" treatment of animals as exemplified in an early campaign scene involving a rat's run-in with your combat knife.
I'm familiar with the scene in question, having played through it twice after failing the related QTE on my first runthrough. While I'd lodge complaint against that scene's ridiculously tiny "press the button now!" QTE window, the rat killing really doesn't seem like something that PETA or anyone else should be getting worked up over.
PETA must be to vegetarians what those pedophile priests are to Catholics.

XCOM Reboot Misses March, Shuffled To After April 2012 Along With Borderlands 2
Quote
2K Marin’s XCOM reboot was originally slated for March 6, 2012. During an investor’s report, Take Two announced the shooter has been rescheduled to "fiscal year 2013." That pegs its release between April 1, 2012 and March 31, 2013.
Borderlands 2 is also a fiscal year 2013 title, which means it will be released within the same timeframe.
Next year, Take Two will release The Darkness II on February 7, 2012 and Max Payne 3 in March 2012. Both titles will be on PS3, Xbox 360, and PC. Grand Theft Auto V is listed as "TBA" for its release window and platforms .

"Of course we're working on GT6 already," Polyphony Digital head Kazunori Yamauchi said in a recent interview. In an industry where sequels are inevitable, of course the team would be working on a follow-up to Sony's premiere racing simulator.
But what can we expect from Gran Turismo 6? "What really will be the separating factor is something that we can't update through a DLC is something that obviously has to be saved for GT6."
The first official bit of DLC for Gran Turismo 5 released last month, after a long string of game-changing updates and tweaks. The reason for GT5's late DLC deployment, Yamauchi explained, is that the team wanted to make sure the GT5 "platform" was complete before adding additional content.
"It's been about a year since we've released the game and in the interim we've had about 15 updates that were performed on the game. These set up the basic platform for the system," Yamauchi told IGN. "Now that we have that out of the way, we're ready to release more expansions and content to add to the game."

Quote
The PlayStation Vita's Japanese launch is rapidly approaching, and Sony has finally offered some details on the program that will allow PSP owners to transfer their games and saves to their new Vita handhelds. All games will have to be repurchased to be played on the Vita, Sony said, but those who can prove via UMD that they already own games will get a discount when repurchasing the same content digitally.

More info on that as well as some game prices listed if you do want to use their psp games on their Vita.
Here’s a list of prices for various titles announced by SCE. Please note this is not the complete list of games that will be available for the UMD Passport program.
Guilty Gear Judgment – 500 yen Carnage Heart EXA – 400 yen Pachipara Slot – Pachislot Sea Story in Okinawa - 1,000 yen Akiba’s Trip – 1,000 yen Tale of the Lost Promise – 1,000 yen Shin Megami Tensei: Persona 3 Portable – 1,500 yen Metal Slug Complete – 500 yen Higurashi Daybreak – 500 yen Atelier Viola – 1,000 yen Street Supremacy (Tokyo Xtreme Racer) – 1,000 yen Dynasty Warriors Portable – 500 yen Dead or Alive Paradise – 1,000 yen Colin McRae: Dirt 2 – 1,000 yen Ever 17 ~ the out of infinity ~ 1,000 yen Nanatama: Chronicle of Dungeon Maker – 500 yen Silver Star Shogi Portable – 1,000 yen Chameleon – 500 yen Hot Shots Golf: Open Tee 2 – 500 yen Patapon 3 – 1,000 yen Gran Turismo – 1,000 yen Nano Diver – 1,000 yen Himehibi Princess Days Portable – 740 yen Sacrifice of the Inescapable Room – 1,000 yen The Promise I Made Over this Blue Sky: Paradise in the Palm of Your Hand – 100 yen Everyone’s Reading: Masterpieces & Detective Stories & Ghost Stories – 500 yen Disgaea 2: Dark Hero Days – 500 yen Makai Kingdom Portable – 1,000 yen The Convini Portable – 1,000 yen Evangelion: Battle Orchestra Portable – 1,000 yen Kanon – 1,000 yen Harvest Moon: Boy & Girl – 500 yen Memories Off – 500 yen Prince of Persia: The Forgotten Sands – 1,000 yen Onore no Shizuru Michi wo Yuke – Free Prince of Persia: Sands of Oblivion – 1,000 yen

The People For the Ethical Treatment of Animals are blasting Nintendo and their beloved gaming plumber Mario over what they claim is a message that it's OK to wear animal furs.
In Super Mario 3D Land, which was released this weekend, one of Mario's many power-ups is a Tanooki suit which grants him the ability to glide across the screen after jumps. The suit looks more like a one-piece jumper or costume than it does a fur, but PETA says the game is sending the wrong message to gamers.
Head, meet desk. Desk, this is head. I'm sure you two have much to discuss.

or you post like a hyprocrite yelling around "NEW RUMOR!!! MORRISSEY IS IN THE NEW SMASH BROTHERS. MY FRIEND WORKS WITH SAKURAI AND HE TOLD ME THIS. THOUGHTS?"
thing is, i posted a thread about rumors. My mistake was maybe that i did not write some thing like a rule that the rumor should be from one or more popular game sites. Or else, like you mentioned with your great example above, everyone could make up some bullshit.
The rumor i posted as the first example in the rumor thread was that EA tries to get origin to be THE online distribution marketplace for nintendo in western regions.
This rumor was posted on multiple game sites, from game informer to kotaku, ign and i guess more.
4 people, including you find the rumor hilarious and point out that the original source is a relative unknown nintendo fan website. Hours later someone posts the thing here in the gaming news thread.
So yay, the rumor just leveled up to a game news. It wasnt mentioned as a rumor here, instead
probably not. who knows..fact is nobody knows, and it is nothing less than bullshit but hey..grandmaster tiltin decided that rumors can be posted in the game news thread.
great decision tiltin. +1 kudos yeah you are doing a great job and are an awesome and smart admin ..one admin people can laugh about ..even if they get banned because poor tiltin read a zelda skyward spoiler =(

wait a minute there are some gaming sites that post rumors with absolutely no shred of credibility to them??? wow really?????????

why don't you take my feedback?
because 1: i believe you're misinformed (you're under the impression i'm the only one doing all these bad things) 2: the way the shit thread works is fine and i disagree with you. some staff members could agree with you which is why i tell you to post it in feedback instead of this place but it's pretty obvious you'd rather stir up shit here.
Quote
why do you try to deflect your post-elitist and try to shift the blame on somebody else?
it's not so much shifting the blame as it is pointing out that whenever some other staff member does the exact same thing you don't seem to give a shit. fyi tempest brought up the idea of deleting the rumors thread which makes her a content nazi and a horrible person all around. maybe she too needs to chillaxe
Sometimes you should just stop hunting GBK, and if he's being a dumbass like you claim, people will just stop replying to him ... but no, you have to be a dick to him, and try to put him down around every corner.
i'm not hunting him. i'm not actively looking for his posts. if i didn't call him dumb when he posts dumb things someone else would have (which is what happens most of the case). if that's your definition of harassment then i could also claim you're harassing me by the amount of times you've replied to me lately attempting to derail whatever conversation is going on into something about how i'm a horrible administrator or a hypocrite in some way or another, but it might as well be a coincidence because you post often and you're bound to find a post by me in a thread you look at.

It wasn't about the rumor. It was about rumors in general. Rumors show up on the news, rumors don't need their own thread when this thread serves that purpose just fine. News doesn't mean absolute fact, it means new information that is released about a thing. Don't be stupid. If something is posted here that isn't fact, you can easily edit your post to say it wasn't, or to say it was a rumor, we don't need multiple threads that serve the same purpose.

I have a question, what exactly defines the difference between threadworthy gaming news, and news for this thread?
there's no clear definition but i imagine this thread would have links to smaller news or articles from gaming sites. think of it as the random topic. you can also post rumors that show up in whatever site but keep in mind that you'll get several replies laughing at the rumor source more than anything else. this is why having a thread dedicated solely to rumors is a bad idea

Popularity of action-RPGs is "a trend...you ignore at your peril"
Final Fantasy XIII-2 producer Yoshinori Kitase has said the changing tastes of gamers means the next Final Fantasy may drift away from its turn-based roots.
Click to view larger image In an interview with Edge, Kitase said the rising popularity of action-RPGs is "a trend...you ignore at your peril."
"I think the nature of the franchise is to present something new each time. In the global market we see many players moving away from games that used turn-based systems toward what you might term an action-RPG."
He went on to say a number of design elements of Final Fantasy XIII and Final Fantasy XIII-2's battle system began the transition.
"FFXIII and FFXIII-2's battle systems have those elements of speed and action that are the key words for us, though that doesn't necessarily mean we're going to stick to the same route in our next game," he said. "That's something only time can tell."

By that I hope he means a far less linear experience. I don't need open world, but I do like to explore and find hidden places on the world map. Also, villages and NPC interaction is never a bad thing.

If you've been following the game at all you'd know that they are taking some huge steps to make it non-linear, but personally I don't like it because I dislike the battle system and FFXIII-2's story could make me vomit. I'll try the game but not for full price.

Ubisoft Montreal currently working with next-generation Xbox devkits; major Sony studio shifts focus to new PlayStation.
Quote
Ubisoft Montreal is hard at work on 'target boxes' based on the intended specifications of Microsoft’s Xbox 360 successor, according to an Edge source. Delivery of the first iteration of genuine devkits, running custom hardware, is expected to reach studios before Christmas, and all signs point to the finalised console arriving at retail in late 2012.
Ubisoft’s teams are said to be working on PCs containing off-the-shelf components provided by Microsoft, and it’s our understanding that several other major developers, including certain EA studios, are also in possession of these target boxes. While our source was unable to share precise specifications, it is believed that AMD is providing the bespoke GPU solution for Microsoft’s console. A Ubisoft spokesperson said: "We do not comment on rumour and speculation."
We can also reveal that one major Sony-owned studio has now ceased PlayStation 3 development, its entire focus having shifted to the console’s successor. The studio is also said to have been involved in the development process of the graphics technology adopted by Sony’s new hardware.

Popularity of action-RPGs is "a trend...you ignore at your peril"
Final Fantasy XIII-2 producer Yoshinori Kitase has said the changing tastes of gamers means the next Final Fantasy may drift away from its turn-based roots.
Click to view larger image In an interview with Edge, Kitase said the rising popularity of action-RPGs is "a trend...you ignore at your peril."
"I think the nature of the franchise is to present something new each time. In the global market we see many players moving away from games that used turn-based systems toward what you might term an action-RPG."
He went on to say a number of design elements of Final Fantasy XIII and Final Fantasy XIII-2's battle system began the transition.
"FFXIII and FFXIII-2's battle systems have those elements of speed and action that are the key words for us, though that doesn't necessarily mean we're going to stick to the same route in our next game," he said. "That's something only time can tell."
Earlier this year, Kitase acknowledged the faults of recent FF games and said FFXIII-2 will be 'completely different experience'.
If it changes into something akin to Kingdom Hearts, then I'm good Squeenix

Rumor: Brink Devs Making a Marvel Game?
Quote
A major report on British developers from IndustryGamers has thown up a surprising piece of information: that Brink developers Splash Damage are probably working on a new Marvel game.
The report says that the studio is working on an "unannounced project for a major entertainment brand", which is "based on one of the biggest American pop culture brands of the last 50 years".
When it then says this major entertainment brand is "a company widely believed to have given up on the console publishing business", it becomes pretty clear it's talking about Disney, which recently purchased Marvel comics.
The game in question has "online multiplayer technology" and is running on "an even more polished Brink engine".
That game kicked all sorts of ass, one of my favorite 3rd person shooters.

Rumor: Retailer Leaks Grand Theft Auto V Launch Date
Quote
Within the debut trailer is a hint that tells us Grand Theft Auto V will launch on May 24. And maybe that's close...
A reader has sent us a link to Walmart's listing for the highly anticipated game and as you can see, there's a June 1, 2012 release date.
Other retailers have had summer dates as well, and the latest date we've seen is from retailer Zavvi in the UK, which gave GTAV a November 23 launch date. So at this point, it's difficult to tell when the next GTA installment will arrive, although it seems realistic to assume it'll drop in the second or third quarter. Rockstar and Take-Two may indeed be saving it for a holiday 2012 release; typically, nothing of any interest launches during the summer.

the collection includes Jak 1-3
All three of the duo's adventures will be presented on one Blu-ray disc, remastered in 720p HD with support for eye-popping stereoscopic 3D.
Nice that the jak and daxter games get the hd treatment, a new game for the two would be cool too though. Now after Uncharted 3, Naughty Dog should have some time for jak again i hope

Arguably, one of PSP's greatest features was the ability to play PSone classics on it. We could play the likes of Crash Bandicoot and Final Fantasy VII on the go, and we were quite content.
Unfortunately, it appears Vita won't be able to offer the same... at least for now. Sony has confirmed that its upcoming handheld will not be able to play Game Archives at launch.
Sony Japan's website details the omission clearly. A translation from Andriasang reads: "It won't be supported at the time of the PS Vita launch." The lack of PSone support is curious, given the Vita's much more capable specs. Perhaps the Sony team ran into some snafus when attempting emulation on the new platform?
"Regarding future support, we'll share details later," Sony notes. We've contacted SCEA to see if we can unearth additional details regarding this omission.
One of the biggest hidden costs of picking up Sony's new Vita handheld is the need to acquire a new proprietary memory card. Whereas the PSP Go had 16GB of storage built-in, the Vita comes with nothing. And, unlike the PSP, which used the slightly more open Memory Stick format, the Vita uses a completely proprietary memory card.
Sony has been shy about pricing these cards, which range from 4GB to 32GB. However, new entries on GameStop's website give us a first look at what to expect.
According to GameStop (via CVG), the 4GB card will go for $29.99. The 8GB card is priced at $44.99; the 16GB card is $69.99; and the 32GB card is $119.99.
Anger over these prices will undoubtedly be palpable. The listed prices represent nearly a 300% markup over Memory Stick, and a 600% markup over SD cards, for equivalently sized offerings. By placing such a high premium on Vita's memory, Sony is taking a page from Microsoft's successful marketing of proprietary Xbox 360 hard drives. Like the Xbox 360, Vita doesn't require additional memory, but many core features, like downloading games, will be unavailable without the extra purchase.
The Vita "First Edition" bundle, which launches one week before the "official" Vita launch, includes a 4GB memory card. The $350 bundle includes a 3G system, a bundled game, and additional accessories.

- on the vita not being backward compatable, I didnt by the vita to play PSP and PS1 games I want to play Vita games on it. So that is not a issue.
- on memory cards, I am not to worried the price will go down eventually. It was that same price inflation when the PSP came out.
other than that I am looking forward to the Vita.

Play Tetris? Would you still play Tetris with subscription fees? EA releases Tetris for iOS devices (iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch) for $0.99, included with an online ranking system. You then can pay an additional monthly subscription fee of $2.99 (or $29.99 per year) in exchange for... uh, I dunno......... how about.... FASTER online ranking?!! :wacky: :deal2:
According to all sources I've found (despite EA's claims), literally the only thing the monthly fees give you is a minor boost to your precious "Tetris Rank" compared to players who only paid $1. That's it. To make the spectacle even more questionable, this is all powered by Origin (poor man's equivalent of Steam; far buggier and plagued with privacy issues), further expanding the reach of EA's new distribution platform. Stay classy, EA.

i want to have that ps2 you played on if it had graphics like TM for ps3
was a manner of speech: it doesn't look mind blowing good + we're talking about a 2012 game
It's only fair to mention that the camera will likely almost never be zoomed in that close when the game is actually being played. Any games graphics are going to looks sub-par when you blow them up bigger than they're intended to be.

The annual Steam holiday sale kicked off today promising the usual array of specials, game packs, daily deals. The big news, though, is the two-part contest running as part of the sale. When the sale concludes on January 1, one lucky shopper is going to walk away with every single game on Steam. The promotion has kicked Steam's usually rock-solid offline right after the announcement, presumably a result of those eager to get their chances for the grand prize.
Here's how it works. To get a chance at seeing your name announced as the big winner come January 2, you need to play the daily "Great Gift Pile" challenges to accumulate coal. Yep, that stuff for the bad boys and girls could be your ticket to PC gaming nirvana. Each day of the sale, six new challenges will be available. For every one you complete you receive either a "winning" gift of a full game or coupon or the consolation prize of a lump of coal.
That coal is valuable, though. Each lump counts as an entry for the grand prize. So the more you accumulate, the better your shot at it. But, for those looking for a little more sure-thing, seven lumps of coal can be crafted together for a pick from the Great Gift Pile, with the promise of not getting a lump of coal in return. And, for the truly enterprising, both the coal and gifts can be traded on Steam, opening up a whole other avenue of wheeling and dealing.
It's all about the risk-reward equation. Do you want one shot at the epic prize or a deal you know you'll get? Oh, and just to make things a little extra interesting, though most of the coupons are for after the sale, a few special "Golden" coupons will be in there that can be used during the holiday sale to get a bonus savings.

Considering how relatively short Megaman games usually are, I'm surprised they're even doing that in the first place.

Nintendo Of America President Reiterates That Wii U Will Be Priced Significantly Higher Than Wii
Quote
Nintendo of America president Reggie Fils-Aime briefly spoke to All Things Digital about what consumers should expect from Wii U. One of the things Fils-Aime did mention is that pricing for console will be priced substantially higher than Wii and that Wii U will mainly interest consumers who want to have the latest gadgets and have a higher disposable income.
The market is going to continue to differentiate based on the types of experiences that consumers want. As an example, if I’m the head of a household of a family of four, and my disposable income is $50,000 to $60,000, I’m going to continue to look at the Wii because of the software, and it’s a great entertainment device. For consumers who want to have the latest gadgets and have a higher disposable income, that’s for the Wii U.
We haven’t announced pricing or availability or any other details, but given the current pricing of the Wii, it’s not going to be there.
We’ve been very clear, the market is going to decide how long these products will coexist side by side. Our goal is to launch the Wii U and drive it into the marketplace, but it will speak to a different consumer than the one that is buying the Wii today during the holidays.

Metal Gear Solid creator Hideo Kojima has heard your cries for a remake of the original game, but personally feels conflicted about the prospect. He says the idea interests him as a producer, but creatively he would want to be hands-off the project if it ever came to fruition.
"There are a lot of people wanting remakes of the original, and as producer I want to answer those calls" said Kojima. "But as a creator I'm not very interested in going back."
"If we were to do it, it would have to be a total remake - the only thing that would be the same would be the story," he told OPM (via Joystiq). "If it happened at some point I would stay as a producer, but would have to hand off most of the actual creating."
That may sound like he has changes in mind, but he actually doesn't want to touch it. "If you change anything, you change the game - and I want to avoid that," he said. "If you bring the gameplay up to modern standards, then you lose a bit of the original game. It was a game made for a certain era - not just the story, but the controls and everything about it reflect that era in which the game was made."
So in summary, Kojima wants to provide a remake, but doesn't want to create the remake, and he feels it would have to be completely redone, but doesn't want to change anything and harm the purity of the original's gameplay. It seems like he's of two minds about the issue, so it's hard to tell which will win out in the end.
His hesitance might be justified, due to a previous remake attempt, The Twin Snakes from Silicon Knights. While critically acclaimed thanks to its improved graphics and smarter AI, the addition of an MGS2-inspired first-person mode was blamed for making the game too easy and ruining the Sniper Wolf boss battle entirely.

The cult classic PS1 platfomer Klonoa: Door to Phantomile is now available on PSN store for a relatively low price. If you find yourself unable to play the awesome Wii remake, I highly suggest you download this. The graphics have not aged well at all, but the game itself is an incredibly underrated gem that more people need to experience, and has some of the best music of any platformer of the era. It's one of my favorite games/series of all time so I felt the need to plug it a little, sorry.

Big Game Makers Take Names Off SOPA Support
Quote
Nintendo, Electronic Arts and Sony Electronics — some of the largest video game companies in the world — have all pulled their support for an online bill that could encourage censorship online, according to an updated list of supporters of the bill.
Those three companies all supported the Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA) when it first entered Congress, according to a report from Joystiq in November.
SOPA, along with the PROTECT IP act in the Senate, give content-producing companies the right to order a take down for a website that they believe is infringing on a copyright. If you even host links to content that infringes on a copyright, you have to take it down.
If not, the copyright owner can request that the infringing site has its advertising and transaction revenue cut off. Or it can request that a domain name — like businessinsider.com — be blacklisted and rendered inaccessible.
the list of supporters for SOPA can be seen here http://judiciary.house.gov/issues/Rogue%20Websites/List%20of%20SOPA%20Supporters.pdf

Post by: TempesT on January 05, 2012, 09:10:22 pm
The Stop Online Piracy Act, currently a bill before the Congress, is utterly detested by the Internet, in case you don't read the Internet. Gamers don't think much of it either, as it would have some rather stupid ramifications for how they enjoy that lifestyle and consume its products. So it's of note that Nintendo, Sony and Electronic Arts have taken their names off the latest list of supporters of the bill.
Business Insider points us to the official Senate Judiciary committee roundup of supporters and notes that, last time, Sony, Nintendo and EA were on this list. This time they aren't. It's not hard to guess why, given what happened to GoDaddy; it's terrible PR in the sector that is most opposed to the bill and requires the most management, even on a good day.
Now, Sony still has three music divisions listed in support, and as Voodoo Extreme notes, it, Nintendo and EA are members of the Entertainment Software Association, and that organization is still listed in support. So there's still lobbying in support of this bill done on behalf of all three, and you better believe they are very influential members of that organization. My opinion is that one of the three, maybe, and two of them definitely, could get the ESA to drop its name. That is my opinion, though.
To make a record of it, yes, we're aware that Anonymous has allegedly threatened Sony over this. Again, this is by definition a leaderless organization, so anyone can make and upload a video threat in its name. Similar calls to action have been shot down by others within Anonymous in the past. So whether this comes to pass, no one can say, and no one can say if this is even a legitimate threat.
But it does speak, generally, for the anger against SOPA, and it's not hard to see why Sony would pull its name—well, the names over its video game unit, anyway—from the bill in light of that. That's not to say it, Nintendo of America and EA no longer support it, not with the ESA still aboard.
Last week, Business Insider erroneously reported that Nintendo, Sony and EA had quietly rescinded support for SOPA — a detail that Digital Trends, and hundreds of other publications repeated. The BI report was based on the fact that their names did not appear on an updated version of the Judiciary Committee’s official list of supporters. The problem is that their names never appeared on that list — only the ESA did — making their removal impossible.

You'll soon be able to play the original Final Fantasy games on yet another platform, as Sony has announced that Final Fantasy Origins is coming to the PlayStation Network tomorrow. The PS1 game compiled the original Final Fantasy and the Japanese Final Fantasy II into one package with a few new bells and whistles.
Sony gave word of the impending release, and highlighted a few extra features. This version adds a memo file function for easier saving, multiple difficulty levels for quests, CG movies and stills, an art gallery, and revamped graphics and sound. No price was given, but Square's PS1 Classics tend to be priced at $9.99.
The PSP remakes of the two games usually retail for roughly $10 each, so this might be a better value for your money. That is, if you haven't played one of the five or six other re-releases that have come out in the past few years.

The Blue Bomber turns 25 this year and Capcom appears to have plans to celebrate his birthday. Bubbleman from Universal Gamer found Mega Man 25th Anniversary logos hidden inside the recent "remake" of Mega Man X for iPhone.

Back in October, Capcom Senior Vice President Christian Svensson said they will have "things" to commemorate the 25th anniversary of Street Fighter and Mega Man after the company’s next fiscal year. In other words, after April 1st, 2012.

According to the latest issue of UK-based gaming publication PLAY, two brand new exclusive PS3 titles are gearing up for a full-blown reveal in February. Both Syphon Filter 4 and God of War IV are said to be deep in development, and will get a full announcement next month. In the “10 Games That Will Be Announced This Year” feature, PLAY states that the long-rumored Syphon Filter 4 is currently in development at SCE London Studio, with the espionage title pegged for a Winter 2012 release.
“As far as our spies tell us, Syphon Filter 4 will be announced and released during 2012 – they’re not often wrong either. Developed by SCE London Studio (once thought to be Sony Bend), it will see a return to the world of shooting, espionage and Gabe Logan’s superb name.”
Sony Santa Monica is also supposedly readying God of War IV for a February announcement, with PLAY teasingly hinting that a recent job listing for an online developer suggests that the action-packed title will feature online play. Both of the titles listed have an announcement window of February 2012 attached, leading many to believe that a barrage of new details may be coming sooner rather than later.
“Sony Santa Monica’s call for an online dev to join its ranks has many thinking the inevitable God of War IV will include online play. We could stop and ask why, but then we could also ask there’s another game when GOW III was meant to be Kratos’s last outing. We’re not complaining though.”
“I hesitate to say exactly what, because I don’t want people reading more into it than is there,” Svensson says. “Let’s just say there are top men thinking about and actively discussing where we’re going to take the brand for the next ten years and how we’re going to do it.”
Wait didn't this news get reported last month someone even did the warehouse joke.
Yeah, I did it on page eight.

Nintendo Money Printing Press Is Finished. Huge Losses Expected.
Quote
Nintendo is facing a bigger than expected annual loss, facing competition from smartphones and battling a strong yen as well as rivals Microsoft and Sony.
According to Reuters Nintendo is expecting an annual operating loss of ¥45 billion ($575 million). Analysts originally forecasted a lost of ¥4.2 yen.
Hardware sales are not meeting expectations—though, things could be worse. Back in Oct. 27, 2011, Nintendo forecasted hardware sales at 6 million DS units shipped for 2012, but as of Jan. 26, 2012, changed that number to 5.5 million DS units. For DS software, the forecast changed from 62 million to 59 million units.
On Oct. 27, 2011, Nintendo forecasted 12 million Wii units sold in the 2012 financial year. That number was revised to 10 million units. Wii software was originally forecasted at 100 million. That number was unchanged.
The 3DS is both on the comeback trail, but still underperforming. On Oct. 27, 2011, Nintendo forecasted 16 million 3DS units shipped. That number has been changed to 14 million. For 3DS software, Nintendo forecasted 50 million units shipped. On Jan. 26, 2012, that number was changed to 38 million units ship—a huge drop
LOL @ anyone who thinks that Nintendo is ever going anywhere.

its not dying..but well
when something gets mainstream it often loses followers of the first hour of the trend
happend as example when rave/techno was totally cool in 1994 and than it got mainstream..it was in the radio and many of the first ravers hated what the industry made of "their" hobby
Nintendo is like years ago losing money instead of making it. The wii was a giant success but wasnt it clear from the beginning that it wouldnt last as long ..including the success than the other far advanced consoles?
Now with the Wii-U i fear they will repeat the strategy but it wont be a big success as the wii again since the competitors gained part of the "casual" market as well
It will be hard for Nintendo..maybe harder than ever in the last 30 years of their companies history

I like my fun to be fresh, new, shiny.
I thought Mario was fresh, new and shiny back when I played SMB in 1989. By Mario 3, I was ecstatic. By Super Mario World in the SNES, it was the same old SMB3 in 16 bits. And it was all downhill from there for me.
Sorry, just not enough interest. Same character, doing pretty much the same thing. No progression. I'm clearly not their demographic, and I'll yawn again. 2D Platforming peaked at Shinobi 3 in the Genesis.

Lack of innovation as in "use basicly the same formula for ever new game in the series"
I do admit though that comment was a bit uncalled for. Nintendo has not been doing it terribly much, atleast compared to someone like activision. But bullshit like, SMG2 and 3dland just really rub me the wrong way.
Also dont try any of that fancy "HUR HUR YEAH SURE YOU GAMING ELITIST". Nintendo dont have the right to spoonfeed us shit for 60 euros more then anyone else does. Comments like that make you seem like a fanboy. If you have a problem with my views then explain yourself well or shut the fuck up.

The innovation isn't the issue. In fact, Nintendo is the most innovative gaming company as far as products and in the actual games. Mario and Zelda games almost always have a gimmick based around a crazy concept that is integrated into the core experience, in which case the core experience is the almost always the same, which is why people like it so much. The issue really is that Nintendo never really makes new IPs, they always have the same 5 or 6 franchises coming out with games but they rarely make new games with new character with new gameplay. That's my beef, you can make Mario games all you want but atleast switch it up every now and again.

Okay, settle down.... The point is that with every new Zelda and Mario game, it's technically a whole new experience, even the older versions gave out something new, which more than what I can say about God of War or Call of Duty these days...
It is mainly the fact that they do innovate the games(even Skyward Sword basically showed how motion control works in those types of games) so it's just you really.

you know..
sony as example could have been like nintendo and use their formular
they maybe could have bought the Crash Bandicoot and spyro copyrights and use enough Money to get a development team of great minds together to pull out one great Crash bandicoot and Spyro game after another. They could have build up around 5-10 very successful games with characters which work as mascots almost. Instead they support only very few old IP`s still like Gran Turismo and Everybodys Golf /Hot Shots Golf since the ps1, Ratchet and Clank since the ps2
Instead, Sony suported different teams and different game ideas multiple times on each new console
On the ps1 you had mentioned Crash and Spyro, Ape Escape and Syphoon Filter
On the ps2 sony put their money in totally new and different new IP`s. We had Jak and Daxter, Ratchet & Clank, God of War,Killzone , Eyetoy games and Singstar. They supported really new experiences like Shadow of the Collossus.
On the ps3 they came up with new ip`s Uncharted, Resistance,Litle Big Planet, MotorStorm and ModNation Racers
Those are all games which are not groundbreaking and mass millionseller material for 20 years but hell..they really did a good job getting new great brands on the market.
Or to say it different
When you buy a new Nintendo Console you know there will be great new Mario, Zelda, Metroid, Starfox, Kirby, Pokemon titles
If you buy another console you know there will be sequels of successful series but you also know there will be new things every year.

Unlike the PSP, every game on the PlayStation Vita can be purchased and downloaded on the PlayStation Store. In Japan, digital versions of Vita games sport a discount over their retail counterparts. But will America follow suit?
Update: The answer is "yes." A Sony representative has confirmed the discount. "I can confirm that there will be a discount on the downloadable PS Vita titles from PSN. Exact details have not yet been revealed, but be on the lookout for an announcement in the very near future."
Original Story: In addition to offering game cartridges, Best Buy will also sell codes that are redeemable on the PlayStation Network. GQman2121 from NeoGAF spotted multiple entries with "DIG-PSV" in the product title. MLB 12 The Show is listed at $35.99, while Reality Fighters is listed at $26.99. Uncharted: Golden Abyss is listed at $44.99.
These prices all represent a 10 percent discount over their boxed copy counterparts.

Tim Schafer's Psychonauts is practically synonymous with the phenomenon of great, under-appreciated games. It didn't set the world on fire with massive sales when it came out years ago but has gone one to become a cult favorite, with a Mac release happening late last year.
So, what about a sequel? Well, you may have noticed that Schafer's Double Fine dev studio's changed a bit. For the last two years, they've shifted to packs of smaller, leaner teams working on smaller, leaner games destined for the downloadable market. Schafer's said that from a manpower and financial perspective, Double Fine's not quite set up to crank out a follow-up to Psychonauts. Still, he told Digital Spy that he'd love to do a sequel if a few millions dollars magically appeared for that purpose.
Enter Markus Persson, creator of Minecraft and hat-wearer extraordinaire. After reading the interview with Schafer, the man known as Notch indicated on Twitter that he'd be willing to bankroll the return of ‘Nauts hero Razputin, saying "Let's make Psychonauts 2 happen" in a tweet directed to Schafer. and later remarking that he's serious.

After joking around earlier, Double Fine head Tim Schafer has told Kotaku that a Psychonauts sequel funded by Minecraft creator Markus "Notch" Persson could very well be a possibility.
"Could happen!" Schafer told me in an e-mail today. "I have found funding on Twitter before!"
This likely refers to Steven Dengler, CEO of Dracogen, who helped fund versions of Costume Quest for PC and Psychonauts for Mac after talking to Double Fine on Twitter. Dengler also expressed interest in helping fund a hypothetical Psychonauts 2, publicly chatting with both Persson and Schafer today.

There will be no Wii versions of EA's Tiger Woods series this year. There could be a Wii U version, but EA confirmed to Kotaku that the Wii is out. A couple of years ago, the Wii was the series' flagship platform. This year, Xbox 360 Kinect gets the spotlight (PS3 is still supported, too.)
unboxing and demo of the devic. is says it in the title.
cool why didnt you include the footage of you buying it and the footage of you taking a massive shit or making a post here (same difference) if youre aiming to stretch out the video with uninteresting shit

Valve is continuing its investigation into last year's Steam hack, and has discovered that a backup file with four years of transactions was probably obtained by the hackers. A letter from Gabe Newell maintains that credit card information and passwords should be secure, but warns users to watch their credit card statements for suspicious activity.
"In my last note about this, I described how intruders had accessed our Steam database but we found no evidence that the intruders took information from that database," Newell wrote. "That is still the case.
"Recently we learned that it is probable that the intruders obtained a copy of a backup file with information about Steam transactions between 2004 and 2008. This backup file contained user names, email addresses, encrypted billing addresses and encrypted credit card information. It did not include Steam passwords."
The company says it still doesn't have any evidence that the encrypted credit cards or billing addresses were compromised, but Newell repeats his prior advice to keep an eye on your credit cards. "And of course keeping Steam Guard on is a good idea as well," he points out. "We are still investigating and working with law enforcement authorities."

Epic Games vice president Mark Rein recently teased that the company will show off Unreal Engine 4 sometime this year. Whether or not the next generation consoles will even be powerful enough to take full advantage of it, though, is another story entirely.
Speaking at DICE (via Kotaku), Epic Games' Tim Sweeney said that the impressive "Samaritan" demo would require 2.5 teraFLOPs, while the current Xbox 360 can only handle .25. So to handle that in real-time, the next iteration of the Xbox would have to be ten times as powerful as the current generation. That's for a particularly impressive "Unreal 3" demo; the computational power needed for Unreal Engine 4 could vary.
Rumors have placed the next Xbox at six times the 360's processing power, short of the ten-fold increase required for Samaritan. Given Epic's intent on making sure UE4 ready on day one of the next generation, something will have to change. Epic did push Microsoft into raising RAM on the Xbox 360, and has been vocal about memory for the next generation, so the company has proven it can sway hardware decisions.
Unreal Engine 4 = 10x Xbox360 CPU

Unleashed was good despite the night levels. Colors was great. Generations was great. And the handheld titles that pretty much everyone always ignore were always good.

It's good but difficult and excruciating. Everyone likes realism but Far Cry 2 takes it too far. Almost any encounter is dangerous, you die extremely quickly, stealth doesn't work, healing yourself is a pain, you have to drive everywhere, the map is a real-time map (Which is bad when your driving and reading it simultaneously.), but the game at it's core is extremely well done and it's multiplayer used to be the shit but it's probably dead now.
EDIT: Assassin's Creed 3 due by Holloween but you know that'll be pushed back.
I don't really like AC as a yearly franchise but money's money.
I'd express my disappointment that they're not taking their time to finish the trilogy right, but I think I've finally become resigned to the fact that Ubisoft is going to push out Assassin's Creed 3.5 next year anyway.

Some new F2P game called "Brawl Busters" is now on Steam. I've played it, it's actually really good and balanced but the metagame hasn't really opened up yet because the game is so young. There's only 2 modes online, Team Deathmatch and Zombie Survival, and the battle system is really sophisticated and unique, I'm sure that after they add some more new modes and some new ways to play the game via equipment, it will be amazing. But for the moment it's just a game with a bit more depth than meets the eye, I might not play it regularly but I will keep a watchful eye on the game throughout the year of 2012.

What do you mean by it?
Title: Re: gaming news that don't deserve their own thread
Post by: Cazaki on February 20, 2012, 09:29:13 pm
Basically means how the game is played competitively over time, and how the game's engine is used. So let's say Marvel Vs. Capcom 2, the way it's played now is completely over the top and crazy, with infinites, 1 frame links, the tiers, all that jazz. That stuff obviously wasn't there when the game first came out, but the game evolved over time, so when I say metagame, pretty much how people play the game as they figure out what's the best way to do things. That Brawl Busters game is pretty damn young, no one really knows how to play, they don't have any different weapons really and no one really knows what they're doing yet, but as the game gets older I think it'll be pretty goddamn good when people figure shit out.

Namco Bandai reviving old game properties as webcomics (http://www.comicsalliance.com/2012/02/27/namco-bandai-shiftylook-webcomics/)
I wonder where they're planning on going with this. Maybe they're planning on raising the brand awareness of the titles to try and springboard a reboot? Not a bad idea.

Aside from the five tracks added to the US version (Dragula, Slow, Just Got Wicked, Patrol Knob, and Improvise), it should be fine. Those five tracks will hopefully be in too, but one never knows, given the craziness of licensing.

Zone of the Enders HD launches in the autumn on PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360, Konami has announced.
No mention was made of the PS Vita version, which Japanese game developer legend Hideo Kojima announced in September last year.
The compilation includes Zone of the Enders and Zone of the Enders: The 2nd Runner, both developed by Kojima Productions for the PlayStation 2. The games have been re-mastered with HD visuals for this latest release.
"We are looking forward to bringing the legendary Zone of the Enders series to old and new fans in a high definition form," said Konami general manager Martin Schneider.
"We are excited to offer these games on new platforms which will allow gamers to experience the drama and action of the Zone of the Enders like they have never seen it before."

i thought..okay..when so many people are not needed currently anymore that might mean that D3`s development could be done mainly since probably at least 300 people work/ed on that game

[...] around 10% of the people affected are from departments "related to development." [...] Blizzard is still hiring for a number of development roles.
To put the figure into perspective [...] Blizzard had over 4,600 employees globally (est. September 2009) [...] Blizzard hired over 1,000 employees within the last twelve months (est. December 2010) [...] Blizzard has over 1,500 working in its European offices alone.

Brian Fargo,creator of the original Wasteland game which inspired the Fallout franchise, has submitted a kickstarter for what a sequel to that game.
Quote
Wasteland 2 is the direct sequel to the first ever post-apocalyptic computer RPG. The original Wasteland was the inspiration for the FALLOUT series of games, and the first RPG to allow players to split parties for tactical considerations, to face players with moral choices, and to make them deal with the consequences of their actions. It was the first to provide far more than the one-key-for-one-lock style of puzzle solving. It was groundbreaking, which is why IGN named it one of the top 25 PC games of all time, Computer Gaming World named it the Adventure Game of the year in 1988, and it was short-listed for inclusion in the Smithsonian Institution’s current “Art of the Computer Game” exhibition.
The game will be developed by Inexile,Brian Fargo's company, if the kickstarter is a success. Most of the people who were responsible for designing the original Wasteland(1988) and Fallout have reunited for this game Alan Pavlish, Mike Stackpole, Ken St. Andre, Mark Morgan and Jason Anderson.
They're looking to obtain at least $900,000 to finance the game. It's at $92,902 with 34 days to go at the moment(ends Apr 17, 8:05am EDT.)

*ATTENTION*
Yesterday, THE KING OF FIGHTERS-i Ver.1.02.00 Update was launched via the App Store, however, due to an unexpected error, the game’s 20 characters have been decreased (downgraded) to 14 characters if players update to the latest version.
Please withhold from downloading the Ver.1.02.00 update at this time.
A future announcement will be made in the coming days regarding the correct implementation of KOF-i’s latest update, returning the roster to 20 characters.
* The problem is expected to be fixed in roughly one week.

:wall:
OK first of all, those two levels are from the NA version (and maybe the EU version? I have no idea), not the JP version. Second, the port is still missing songs from the JP version: all the Deavid Soul songs were on all versions of JSR. And just because songs weren't on the super magical JP version doesn't mean they're not important, they were on the disc for a fucking reason. anyway, now I'm very hesitant about this port; on the one hand, JET SET RADIO <3 <3 <3. On the other, no Yappie Feet or Miller Ball Breakers. Those two were some of my favorite tracks :'(
i also would miss dragula, not joking at all
EDIT: OK House by Idol Taxi is also missing, and while I like it, it's as essential as the Deavid Soul ones were, IMO

http://www.vg247.com/2012/03/15/giant-bomb-bought-by-cbs-interactive/ how's that for a full circle
Quote
Just announced in the livestream, Giant Bomb and Comic Vine have been sold to CBS Interactive, and are moving back to the Gamespot building.
For the past couple years, companies have expressed interest in the Whiskey suite of sites, be it investment or straight up being bought out. Jeff, for the entirety of 2012, has been in the middle of business dealings, how they are going to fit in the Gamespot swing of things. Jeff has said "Giant Bomb in its current form will continue to exist." When asked by the Gamespot staff, what do you guys need, the answer (and the correct answer imo) was "we need a place to put a couch and hang a deerhead." Screened and Tested are not part of this buyout. They are going elsewhere. Paperwork was officially signed on Wednesday, March 14th. At 4pm west coast time march 15, jeff and co are going to the gamespot buildings (the gamespot crew just found out as soon as us users found out, on the stream) and one of the topics they are going to talk about is full disclosure on what explicitly happened in 2007. If anything, they are going to have to be "more" Giant Bomb than they were before. Somebody wouldn't buy them if they were to go and change who they are.

The Tony Hawk series has taken a hiatus since "the unpleasantness," but it's getting a return to its roots with Tony Hawk's Pro Skater HD. It seems so obvious in hindsight, because of course all we wanted was a downloadable game with the old physics engine and prettier graphics. The series namesake, Hawk himself, has answered a few fan questions.
Hawk appeared on video on the One of Swords blog. First, on the subject of character inclusions, he said that both Chris Cole and his son Riley Hawk will appear. "I've asked [Riley] to be in a couple of the games prior to this one, and he wasn't into it at all," Hawk said. "To be honest I'm surprised that he agreed, but I'm really proud of him because I feel like he's making his own way, and he's definitely a well-respected skater in his own right and very creative." Secret characters will include Officer Dick, Ollie the Magic Bum, and "a few more."
The highly-regarded soundtrack will get a return, at least in part. Hawk says that about half the soundtrack is composed of older songs, while the other half will be new tracks that reflect quality "people have come to expect" from a TH soundtrack.
In other miscellaneous tidbits, Hawk promises five online modes, but can't give details on them quite yet. He also says he hopes it's released on PC, and that it's generating some good buzz that might allow that to happen.

A Mii? That definitely is weird. So not surprisingly from what I've heard Resident Evil Raccoon City bombed as far as reviews go so far, I was pretty sure that's how it was going to go, considering that the team that created a flop of a Socom game for PS3 worked on it. I was surprised that Ninja Gaiden 3 seems to be doing quite poorly also. I thought since Dead or Alive Dimensions held up fairly well without Itagaki that Ninja Gaiden 3 would have been about the same.
Also I didn't know there was a Warriors Orochi 3 being released until yesterday, it also has a bunch of new characters, including Ryu Hayabusa and Ayane.

Wo2 had the orochi fraction, more characters, but but all in all it was the same game without changes as you see them between DW6 and DW 5 or Sw1 and Sw2 as example
I look forward to WO3 which seems to be damn great

Nah Capcom is defiantly Bastu as the feet would have to be blue to be Voltnutt and it would need more light blue on it. Sega's seems like someone from Phantasy Star to much white and no yellow makes it so it can't be Axel.
Title: Re: gaming news that don't deserve their own thread
Post by: C-G-U on March 22, 2012, 01:55:39 am
Reason why I think it's still Volnutt is the fact that there's no red (for Batsu's gloves), and there's green, which is also Volnutt's eye colour, and the yellow might be a part of his armor. (Batsu doesn't have any green on him from what I recall either.
http://www.game-art-hq.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/Namco-x-Capcom-Game-Character-Official-Artwork-Mega-Man-Volnutt.jpg the yellow could be part of something on his back.

Post by: Girard on March 22, 2012, 03:03:49 am
I don't think the arms are include(Ken's didn't have his brown gloves Bayonetta's didn't have her white sleeves etc.) so that might be why there is no red but i don't see yellow or green on the Capcom X are my computer colors messed up? Also i am lead to believe sega's is Ogami from Sakura wars (http://static.zerochan.net/full/09/21/413559.jpg).

Post by: C-G-U on March 22, 2012, 03:14:12 am
Your link doesn't work unfortunately, but I googled it, maybe that is a possibility...but there is a yellow and green pixel colour on the Capcom one...
Better shot of Megaman's back to see the yellow colours, at the bottom of the Capcom X, there's brown, above the brown is yellow and then blue, with a single green pixel 3 up from the left side's yellow colour.

Weird Shows up as a blueish color and Skin tone for me. well the guys at 2ch who came up with the last list did it again i kinda hope they are right just for the fact Bahn is there though Tear might be a bit of a stretch seems they changed their mind on the one that looks like Bayonetta.

Maybe our colour settings are just a bit different, but this is what I'm comparing atm, the green is almost like a Teal colour for me, and the yellow is a bit too golden too look like skin tones, oh well.
Title: Re: gaming news that don't deserve their own thread
Post by: Tyrant Belial on March 22, 2012, 04:51:22 am
The yellow isn't golden at all. And the eye colors are differewnt as well, plus the colors are in pattern of the character's appearance, Volnutt doesn't have white boots.
Title: Re: gaming news that don't deserve their own thread
Post by: C-G-U on March 22, 2012, 04:54:12 am
True enough, but I still don't think it's Batsu because of that random teal pixel truthfully.

^When I had first heard of that I thought it was pointless with Sony already releasing ModNation Racers, which even featured Sackboy and his own cart, not to mention the whole ability to create practically anyone and any track. Stylewise though the games visually will look very different, and with the use of the various camera angles to recreate the look of other styles of racers, and its' own power-up system, I think the game will actually be a fairly promising release in the end afterall, especially after watching that trailer.

I don't know about the market being too small, I think the problem is there's usually more flops in this genre than there are successes nowadays, and I'm not even talking about sales, usually the games just either do poorly, or start well and progressively become poor renditions of what their focus was, they're probably just afraid to take the risk but I'm sure it would be better to do that, than to trust the team that made a SOCOM game which flopped with one of your established franchises (Operation Raccoon City) which I heard is doing poorly already.

Arc System Works is developing "Xblaze" as the first entry in what it refers to as "Adventure Project." The game will be released in winter 2012 for an undisclosed platform.
Xblaze's announcement came during a special stage at today's BlazBlue Continuum Shift 2 national tournament. According to 4Gamer, BlazBlue series producer Toshimichi Mori also revealed that the second entry in the Adventure Project is also in the works. Regarding the BlazBlue series, he said that they hope to soon have a large event for the game, and something will probably be announced there.
You can see the segment of the stage event announcing the game below. The slides refer to Xblaze as "another Blue story," suggesting that it may have some ties to BlazBlue.
maybe they'll finally make the BB RPG, you know, what Blazblue was supposed to be at first lol!
Well, from this article (http://www.siliconera.com/2012/03/23/what-if-ryotaro-dojima-in-persona-4-the-arena/):
Quote
Since Atlus and Arc System Works are working together, 4gamer asked Mori if he would want Atlus to make a BlazBlue RPG. Mori said he would like to make a BlazBlue RPG, but he would want to do it himself rather than give it to Atlus.
At any rate, I'm interested. Arcsys proved that they can develop a good story with BlazBlue so I'll be keeping an eye out for this.

Seeing as the same magazine has given Mass Effect 3 a perfect score I wouldn't worry about it too much. Sure, it's a good game, but far from perfect.

When your game is the final game in a trilogy that prides itself on its narrative, having a decent ending is kind of important.

Either a completly new SF Alpha game or SF Alpha 3 Online Edition.
the artist Stanley Lau, also known as artgerm mentioned it to me that he is working on drawing Street Fighter Characters again for capcom but he is not allowed to tell anyone for which game
He mentioned "Another Dream Comes True" and that he draws some of his favourite characters of the SF series
Dream Comes True was a hint he said, and my only guess is it might be related to SF Alpha since its subtitle was "Warriors Dreams"
Ono recently mentioned he has interest to produce a SF Alpha game, but personally i believe it might be a SF Alpha 3 Online Edition we get, since artgerm worked on the SF3 Online Edition illustrations

Really!! I hope your assumption of SFA3 being online is correct. Capcom needs to make this classic available to this generation of consoles. SFA3 is easily one of the best entries of 2D fighting. I'd also love to see Rival Schools and Power Stone at one point. :sugoi:

This guy obviously knew that this was going to happen and left the file there so the fans had SOMETHING to do after the console died (And as a side note, the emulation in that GD ROM was AWFUL, like really shitty sound and sometimes bad framerate).

The "X" game Namco Bandai was teasing over the past couple of weeks was revealed last week to be Hunter x Hunter Wonder Adventure, a PSP game based off the Hunter x Hunter manga and anime. Today, Namco Bandai opened a teaser site for the game.
Jump had a first look at the game this week. The magazine revealed the game to be an action adventure where you control Gon and Killua. As you clear gimmicks and work past enemies in the Hunter x Hunter world, you'll experience new story segments not found in the other works.
On the gameplay front, the magazine detailed the "Change Drive" system, where you change your character's style. Gon can change his combat style from fighting to fishing. Killua can go from fighting to skateboard.

its like a goty edition with everything onboard and probably cheaper as the vanilla version as well
wwe12 is a game i didnt buy yet and didnt want to really but if the price tag is around 40 euro i get it
60 euro for the vanilla version + another 20? for the additional dlc stuff was too much for me for a wrestling game which still has flaws like using years old animations which arent fitting to the wrestlers anymore

Nintendo's new Wii U home console launches in the US on Sunday 18th November, according to a leaked internal email from a leading Japanese retailer. As picked up by WiiUDaily, the memo in question was circulated among staff at the Tokyo-based store before finding its way into the wild. According to the email, a Japanese launch apparently follows a week later, though there was mention of a European date. The original Wii launched in the US on 19th November 2006, also a Sunday, with Japanese gamers getting it two weeks later and Europe three weeks later. Nintendo is expected to offer up more details about the launch during this year's E3 show in Los Angeles during the first week of June.
Sounds about right if it's true thats two days after my Birthday to time to start dropping hints.

The second Iwata Asks column for Fire Emblem Awakening reveals that this original 3DS entry in the series has love elements
Genki Yokota, the game's director on Nintendo's side, explained that one of the major themes for the new game is love of the characters, so he really wanted to add a marriage system to the game. Producer Hitoshi Yamagami felt the same way, saying that the marriage elements from Super Famicom's Fire Emblem Seisen no Keifu, the first time such elements appeared in the series, left a great impression in him.
For Awakening's marriage system, they increased the variation of the possible couple combinations. You can marry any of your allies, and your My Unit characters too.
The development staff created special graphics for proposals. Some on the team even suggested that they make kiss faces for all the characters.

Take a look at these systems in action the latest trailer that Nintendo released today. The trailer also shows the marriage component towards the end. In addition to marriage, you'll be able to have kids who can be turned into your allies for battle.

Fire Emblem Awakening will be the the first Nintendo package 3DS game to have paid download content. Sounds like something CEO Satoru Iwata would want to bring up during the game's Iwata Asks column.
Iwata did just that in a column that was posted today.
Genki Yokota, director on the Nintendo side of the project, revealed that the topic of download content came up towards the end of the project when development was nearing completion. It was a bit tight in terms of scheduling, so instead of the producer saying "Let's add download content," he said something closer to "So, should we add download content?"
Due to how late the request arrived, they weren't able to do things like remove passages from the main game or make adjustments to passages in the game. This may not have been a problem, as Iwata noted that one concern when making a game compatible with download content is that you have to make sure you have enough built into the main game so that you absolutely will not hear criticism that the game is too lacking in content for those who don't buy the DLC.
Kohei Maeda, director on the Intelligent Systems side of the project, said that they're currently in the process of making the download content, and they will keep on making more from here on out.
Elsewhere in the interview, the staff discussed some of the game's non-paid download content. Players will receive a "Spot Pass Team" on a nearly daily basis. This team will consist of characters made in the image of past Fire Emblem characters. You'll be able to fight them, make them into allies, and so-forth. You can expect to receive around 120 teams through Spot Pass. View a video of the Spot Pass support here (http://www.nintendo.co.jp/3ds/interview/afej/vol1/index6.html#id=movie006).
Separate from the download content support, the staff also discussed the game's optional first person view mode. This was added because the staff thought it would would go well with the 3D. View a movie of the 3D mode here (http://www.nintendo.co.jp/3ds/interview/afej/vol1/index6.html#id=movie007).
The column also touched upon the game's love elements. For a summary of what Iwata and the game's staff had to say about this area, see this story.

Quote
From the official site:
Valhart A conqueror who dominated the Continent of Varm by force. He hates losing and turning his back to an enemy over all things. Although he oppresses all who oppose him, he possesses the charisma required to rule a nation. Tiki A divine dragon who has existed since the era of legends. The divine dragon-worshipping nation of Varm revere her as the "Divine Dragon Priestess". Although usually calm, she shows signs of being a little girl on rare occasions. Character profiles for Valhart, Tiki, Sairi, Gaia and Sariya (see the Characters page (http://serenesforest.net/fe13/character.html) for further details). Only opposite-gender characters can get married. It seems Nintendo's wording of "My Unit can marry any character" had some people wonder about this. (Credits to TheEnd for the profile translations)
On the Famitsu side of things: There are two continents in Awakening--the Continent of Iris where Krom lives and the Continent of Varm, to the far west. Valhart is the emperor of the Varm Empire. Tiki, the divine dragon princess from Shadow Dragon and Mystery of the Emblem, returns all grown up. My Unit's promoted class is "Master Tactician". He/she can also use the Change Seal to change to almost every class, excluding special classes like the Taguel. Although My Unit normally speaks during conversations, players can select "Silent" when choosing their voice so that they become a silent protagonist. The Everyone's Room feature functions similarly to the Everyone's Conditions feature in New Mystery of the Emblem. From the battle preparations screen, players can visit their allies outside of the battlefield and see how they're faring. Rewards include experience points, items (such as Eirika's Swift-sword) and improved relationships. Dark Magic exists as subcategory of Tomes. Dark Mages can wield Dark Magic, but Dark Knights cannot.
Kinda surprised since Fire Emblem has had some borderline Incest in the past and Heather in Radiant Dawn was so obviously a lesbian and some support conversation had hints of some characters being homosexual in them.

Fire Emblem is nice, but it's not Advance Wars. That series needs to come back too.
Besides, the idea that you cannot lose a single unit in FE or you could potentially be screwed end-game, never sat well with me.

I've accepted at this point that Fire Emblem isn't very Fire Emblem without the permadeath option and it would be weird to suddenly have the option to turn all your units but your Lord into expendable units.
That Fire Emblem doesn't have tanks.

Lol they put two Marths in the game. http://andriasang.com/con0ks/fire_emblem_marth/ Translation of the picture.
Quote
Players will receive a "Spot Pass Team" on a nearly daily basis. This team will consist of characters made in the image of past Fire Emblem characters. You'll be able to fight them, make them into allies, and so-forth. You can expect to receive around 120 teams through Spot Pass.
Nintendo has shared details on Fire Emblem Awakening's first round of download content. Classic Fire Emblem character Marth will appear in the game as a ¥300 download. Clear a map, and you'll get to make Marth into a party member.
Marth will be available for download on April 19, opposite Awakening's release. The DLC will be free through May 31.
"We thought a lot about a sequel, and had done some initial development on it, but we found a project that we thought was a better fit for People Can Fly," he said. "We haven't announced that yet, but we will be announcing it pretty soon."
"I'd love to go back [to Bulletstorm]," he added. "I think there's more to do with Bulletstorm. Heck, it kind of ended wanting more. I'd love to see another project, but right now we don't have anything to talk about."
Regarding the original Bulletstorm, Capps said the foul-mouthed first-person shooter didn't live up to publisher Electronic Arts' expectations.
"I think Bulletstorm was very critically successful, and I think a lot of folks really enjoyed seeing something new," he said. "From a sales perspective it was good, but not amazing. I think EA was hoping we'd do better."
Capps also claimed that the PC version of Bulletstorm was hurt by piracy, but also admitted that it was a less than stellar port which may have hurt sales, too.
"We made a PC version of Bulletstorm, and it didn't do very well on PC and I think a lot of that was due to piracy. It wasn't the best PC port ever, sure, but also piracy was a pretty big problem."

So, why is Thundercats on the Nintendo DS instead of the 3DS? The representative explained the companies involved are aware of the current economic climate and know many parents, who would probably be buying Thundercats for their kids, might not be able to afford a 3DS. There’s a better chance of their children already owning a DS, which would mean they wouldn’t have to worry about getting a whole new system for a game. Plus, people who are fortunate to own a 3DS can still enjoy Thundercats due to backwards compatibility.

At least it looks like this and the Lightning story DLC is the last of it or for the Coliseum dlc anyway. http://andriasang.com/con0pa/ffxiii2_snow_valfodr_dlc/
Quote
As detailed earlier in the day, the Snow and Valfodr download content will be released on the May 15th. Famitsu does not list a price.
Snow will have a new episode. The idea behind the episode came from the game's female staffers, character modeling director Hideo Kubota told Famitsu. The episode, whose theme is "Don't fight for me," will show the feelings Snow and Serah have one for one-another.
Director Motomu Toriyama said that the episode will clear up some mysteries behind the coliseum itself. We'll also apparently learn about Snow's mission as a L'Cie.
Valfodr appears in the second half of Snow's episode. He appears to be quite the foe, with the ability to use weapons, magic and summons. You'll apparently have to defeat him multiple times throughout the episode. Each time, he comes back at higher level and with additional abilities.
According to Toriyama, Valfodr was added to the game with the idea of having him appear as something like the Coliseum's last boss. He's the strongest opponent you'll face in the Coliseum, and when at his maximum level is the most powerful monster in Final Fantasy XIII-2 as a whole.
Snow has a 30% crystal conversion rate (this indicates how easy it is to make him into a party member). Valfodr's rate depends on his level, but at maximum level the rate is 100% (which should give you an idea of how hard it will be to defeat him).
When in your party, Snow is an attacker with a focus on punches and kicks. Valfodr is a blaster with the same strength as an attacker. Among his learnable arsenal are Hellflame, Hellspark, Hellstorm and Hellfreezer.

John L. Beiswenger claims numerous similarities with his novel, Link
John L. Beiswenger, an American science fiction author, is suing Ubisoft over alleged similarities between his novel, Link, and the Assassin's Creed franchise.
Beiswenger's novel is based on the premise that ancestral memories can be "accessed, recalled, relived and re-experienced" by participants in a radical new scientific process. The suit lists a wide range of similarities, from narrative themes to specific use of individual words.
Link also includes numerous references to assassins and assassinations in relation to the new process. The legal document cites a number of extracts from the book, including this from page 290:
"'If John Wilkes Booth fathered a child after he assassinated Lincoln, and we found a descendant alive today, we could place Booth at the scene and perhaps smell the gunpowder.' 'Ancestral memories?' 'As far back as you want.'"
Other similarities mentioned include the technology used to conduct the memory experiments and, "spiritual and biblical tones, with references made to Jesus and God, the Garden of Eden, and forbidden fruit."
Beiswenger is seeking damages for each product released since Assassin's Creed was established in 2007, including all four games, the guide-books, the comic series, and two trailers.
The suit requests that damages of no less than $1.05 million be awarded to Beiswenger, with that amount rising to $5.25 million if the judge rules that Ubisoft for wilfully infringed his copyrights. It also requests that the judge prevent the release of Assassin's Creed III and all related products.
Once again we want to welcome you to the new Darksiders II website. Being a part of our community means you will be the first to know when new trailers, screenshots, announcements and updates around Darksiders II are released.
The rumor-mill has been churning with speculation recently, so we wanted to put it to rest first here with our core fans: Darksiders II will be moving to release globally in August 2012, rather than June as previously announced. It’s just a short delay, but we promise the game you’ll have in August will be well worth the wait!
This is great news for the team at Vigil, because it allows additional time for polish and to ensure that all aspects of Darksiders II meet the high-quality bar the team is targeting. In game development, more time is always a good thing for quality and the Vigil team is dedicated to providing the definitive Darksiders experience.

Ubisoft sued over Assassin's Creed copyright infringement http://www.gamesindustry.biz/articles/2012-04-18-ubisoft-sued-by-author-over-assassins-creed-copyright-infringement
Seems SOMEONE has realized that they're broke and began to look for similarities from his book on other franchises.
I hope Ubisoft's lawyers tear a new one to this guy. Also, watch his book begin to get mass negative reviews on book stores.

As the legal documents (http://www.bannerwitcoff.com/_docs/Ubisoft_Complaint.pdf) are linked in the article (around 40 pages) I gave them a look. He started the book with his idea in 2002/2003, while the first Assasins' Creed was released in 2007. Part of the claim is based on shaky grounds ("they use some of the same words, like ASSASSIN, and ANCESTOR") but I can imagine what the Author would have felt like if many (most?) of his ideas and the subsequent implications were being milked cash to no end by a money grubbing company making mediocre yearly games.
AC's disclaimer "Inspired by historical events and characters. This work of fiction was designed, developed, and produced by a multicultural team of various religious faiths and beliefs". What are the chances that this multicultural team might have been put together by someone who made the original concept AFTER reading the book?
It sounds plausible to me, I don't think I'd ever even perceived the notion of DNA memories until I played AC, and I thought it was a superb concept. This one guy sat down for maybe a couple of years, wrote a book with lots of intricacies, and went as far as describing apparatuses with widths, sizes, and type of cables they used ... and I'm expected to believe some computer nerd at Ubisoft thinking about Parkour Gameplay came up with this shit all by themselves?
I really can see where his "This is exactly what I wrote, WTF" comes from. I'm not accusing anybody, but I'm siding with the book author on this one. Sadly he didn't make it as interesting or fun as AC :P

Yea, I think it's pretty dickish to sue after the series had 4-5 years to establish itself just because there are some similarities.
Not to mention that if this author succeeds, you can bet that every SOB out there is going to start suing companies just because their franchise happens to have even the smallest similarity to their work. (That character uses the same hat as mine. SUE THEM! Hey, this series takes place in the same place as mine. SUE THEM!)

[avatar]http://i42.photobucket.com/albums/e315/Tiger_Stripe/discordava3.png[/avatar]Wait, so is it a prequel? It said 'before the ghost of sparta', but then talks about breaking a blood oath to the gods, which happened after that. Nothing in that teaser makes any sense in the context of the series. It's a shame, because GoW1 was an incredibly well-written greek tragedy, but then after that they just decided "GRAAAARRGHLE BLLARGHHL MORE ANGRY AND BLOOD AND KILLING AND MAD AND VENGEANCE AND HRRRRNG!" would be a better direction to go.
And yet, I will almost certainly buy it anyway. *sigh* >_>

Someone didn't stay around for after the credits.
If anything this game would be about Kratos trying to fix everything he ruined, but of course that's way too logical.

Sega announced today that the first print run of Super Monkey Ball Banana Splitz will include a product code for an "adult map." The "adult map" is themed around Yukie Kawamura, the gravure model who appeared in a recent Monkey Ball promotional video that didn't actually show any Monkey Ball. The map is full of Yukie gimmicks. You can try out a sample of the adult map in a demo that Sega released to PlayStation Store today. The card the product code comes on will come in three flavors. They all feature Yukie in a bikini, but you'll get just one pic at random.

Modes of play include Tournament, Free Competition and Special Game. Tournament spans eight cups and includes single and doubles. Free Competition lets you select opponent, court, set count and other areas.
Special games include a number of special types of play, most notably Super Mario Tennis, which you play with an interactive Super Mario Bros. between you and your opponent. View a video at the official site.
New Super Mario Bros. 2 will be released for 3DS in August, Iwata announced. He did not share gameplay specifics, but did say that Nintendo is aiming for a new 2D Mario standard with the game.
Animal Crossing 3DS will be released in the Fall. The game's final Japanese name is Tobidase Doubutsu no Mori. The name "Tobidase" can mean jumping out of something. It's often used to describe the 3DS's 3D effect. Iwata said that in addition to the visuals, the term applies here to the game's wireless functionality.
Nintendo are going to release a firmware update for the Nintendo 3DS soon, which will allow you to create folders on your Nintendo 3DS’s home menus. Each folder will be able to contain up to 60 items in it, and you can name folders, too.
The firmware update will also allow publishers to patch games. Nintendo says fixes for Mario Kart 7, Kingdom Hearts 3D, and New LovePlus will be available.
The new firmware update will be released on April 25th in Japan.
In addition to 3D Classics: Kirby’s Dream Land, Nintendo are also releasing a compilation of older Kirby titles for the Wii on a retail disc to celebrate the series’ 20th anniversary. The image to the right is the logo for this celebration.

They could make you play as the Reapers IIRC highlight-> Lollipop, Pinkie and Sho(Assuming this since his bodied didn't disappear like everyone else when they get erased) were still alive when the game ended that'd be interesting.
The long-anticipated Dragon's Dogma playable demo will be available for download off PSN and Xbox Live MarketPlace from Tuesday, April 24th in North America, Wednesday, April 25th in Europe. Just to be clear, that's next week. Yay!
The demo will let you try out the sword-and-shield Fighter class, making your way through underground tunnels in a Prologue quest that takes place before the events of the main game and culminates in an epic battle with a Chimera. You'll also be able to try out the well-rounded Strider class, battling against the airborne Griffin in the open fields of Gransys.
On top of that, you'll be able to try out the character customization system to create your own player character and Main Pawn. You'll even be able to import that character data into the full game once it's available on May 22nd (NA) and May 25th (EU).

Monster Hunter Puzzle Game Announced for PSP (http://andriasang.com/con0si/monhan_puzzle/)

Capcom has an unexpected new game in this week's Famitsu. According to early Famitsu flying getter Sinobi, the magazine has a first look at Airu de Puzuruu, a puzzle game based around the Monster Hunter franchise's Felyne character (known as "Airu" in Japanese). The PSP title will be released on July 19, priced a low ¥2,990 (standard PSP games go for ¥5,040).
Sinobi does not provide details on the game, but does say that it looks a bit like that classic of Capcom puzzle games, Puzzle Fighter.
You may recall that Famitsu teased a Capcom-related announcement for this week's issue. It's unclear if this is the game in question.

Apparently, the game in question goes by the name Airu de Puzuruu and its a puzzle game in the style of Capcom’s old Puzzle Fighter series, except now, based off the popular Monster Hunter series. The game was announced as a budget price game for the PSP (yes that is the original PSP).

And Alm art by HACCAN at least HACCAN only changed his gloves and shoe's color and added some more gold trimming to his armor instead of going with a complete redesign like Roy and Micaiah. besides unlocking him from beating his map you also get a new class Demon Fighter by using the Demon Fighter Scroll you receive to turn a Male unit into a Demon Fighter.

Starting with New Super Mario Bros. 2, you’ll be able to buy more of Nintendo’s first-party Nintendo 3DS titles either via retail stores or download them to your SD card via the Nintendo eShop. At an investor conference, Nintendo’s president broke down the three ways you’ll be able to do this: Buy the game in a box from a store like you usually do. Download the game directly off the Nintendo eShop using your Internet connection. Buy the download version of the game from a store. That last one is a little complicated, so let’s understand what it really means. It means that you’ll be able go to a store that sells videogames, pay them money specifically for the download version of the game you want to buy, and in exchange, they will give you a 16-digit code, which you will then have to enter into the Nintendo eShop to download your game. There’s another catch to this process, too. Nintendo are allowing retailers to set their own individual prices for downloadable versions of their games. This means that the download version of New Super Mario Bros. 2 may not cost the same, depending on which store you buy it from. Retailers will have the option to slash the download version’s price at their own stores if they feel the need to. Effectively, this means you’ll be able to go bargain hunting for downloadable versions of games if you don’t buy them directly off the eShop in your own home. Nintendo didn’t specify whether this would apply to both first-party and third-party games, or whether it would also apply to games that are download-only. If you’re asking yourself why it’s being made possible to buy download games from retail stores, Nintendo say it’s being done in order to make downloadable games available to 3DS owners without credit cards, as well as to users who don’t feel comfortable inputting their credit card numbers. They also feel that allowing people to buy downloadable software at stores will help lower the psychological barrier against it. Finally, Nintendo believe that allowing for downloadable games at retailers will also help increase exposure of digital download products on the whole, and help increase a product’s lifespan without a retailer needing to reserve shelf space for it.
God of War: Ascension would have similiarities to Nintendo's Legend of Zelda and include a co-op mode, if David Jaffe were making the game, the developer has revealed. Speaking in an upcoming issue of games™ magazine, the God of War creator said that if he was tasked with making a fourth God of War he'd incorporate three specific elements. "[I'd] bring in different myths, add a very robust and meaningful co-star (I think lots and lots can be done story wise with co-op play), and look to the Zelda structure as a jumping off point. Hyper violent Legend of Zelda? Yes please!" Jaffe said as part of the God of War: Ascension feature in the upcoming issue 22 of games™. Regarding a co-op mode, Jaffe added: "That could be cool. I could see that working. I'd love to see player one be Kratos and player two be this stupid annoying sidekick that - for some to be determined story reason - Kratos is stuck with for the whole adventure and in the end, once the main quest is over, Kratos just snaps the poor kid's neck."

For a game that Japan is using to help solve their lowering birth rates I think it looks interesting and fun. Too bad a game with this kind of theme would never be translated. I mean, you're playing as highschool Kony.
Unexpected.

Sonic Hedgehog in disguise unless it means transformed like the werehog. http://www.gamesradar.com/ps3/sonic-all-stars-racing-transformed/
Sega's confirmed that its respected Europe and America CEO, Mike Hayes will leave the company this summer, after 8 years running the Western business. http://www.computerandvideogames.com/345715/sega-useuro-boss-to-leave-after-8-years/
Quote
Mike has taken the decision to pursue his interests by looking at advisory and non-exec roles both in and outside of the industry, the company's said in a statement.
Mike joined Sega in 2004 and has overseen the company's evolution from a games console manufacturer to a multiplatform software developer and publisher.
Mike was heavily involved in the acquisitions of both Sports Interactive and The Creative assembly and has moved the House of Sonic towards a more digital based strategy.
Naoya Tsurumi, President and Representative Director, said of the news: "Mike has achieved a huge amount during his time at SEGA and we thank him for the amazing things he has accomplished.
"Mike is a great character and very passionate about the industry, he helped steer the extraordinary growth of SEGA and has built an exceptional team of professionals that will stand us in good stead for the future."
God of War: Ascension has online and offline multiplayer battles for up to eight players. There are a variety of multiplayer modes, customisable avatar warriors, armour and weapon types to unlock. Eurogamer's Johnny Minkley saw it in action for a God of War: Ascension preview, published today.
Multiplayer "combines the brutal gameplay and large-scale battles that God of War is known for to create a competitive experience like never before", Sony said. According to game director Todd Pappy it's a "fresh twist" on competitive gaming.
But the game has single-player, too, this time with a "revamped" combat and weapon system, "promptless" mini-games and new puzzles. Sony mentioned "fluid, life-like characters, dynamic lighting effects, and world-changing scenarios".
Pappy told Eurogamer Ascension's campaign is "just a little bit shorter" than in previous God of War games. "We've mapped out everything and given time estimates. It'll be pretty damn close."
And lead combat designer Jason McDonald insisted that single-player has not suffered as a result of the addition of multiplayer. "We didn't want to sacrifice single-player for multiplayer, neither did we want to tack [the latter] on," he said. "We're definitely going full force with both."
Quote
As for the story, Ascension sees players assume the role of Kratos as he tries to break the blood oath that binds him to Ares. Since this is a prequel, we get to see a younger Kratos, one driven mad after bring tricked into killing his wife and child. In the game Kratos "seeks to break his bond and gain the clarity to seek revenge on Ares for his part in the death of his family". Helping is his signature double-chained blades.
In other words, I'm really doubtful that the Wii U will be able to run the new Unreal Engine at all, with it's projected 2012 release date and how long they've been working on it.
EDIT: Whatever the new Unreal Engine is called, the one showcased last year with the "Samaritan"

It sold 1.1 million and it was multiplatform compare that to Sonic colors selling 1.85 millions while only on the Wii and you can see why Sega would scrap Bayo for Another Game(probably Sonic and Sega All-Stars Racing Transformed) but hey there is a rumor she is in that game.

The multiplayer can potentially be really good if they go about it like Mass Effect did and make it so you can play many ways with the classes, only better because it's PvP. Though I think they'll probably just fuck it up.

Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment and TT Games today revealed the first trailer for LEGO Batman 2: DC Super Heroes, coming to the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, Wii, PC, Nintendo DS, Nintendo 3DS and PlayStation Vita this summer.
In LEGO Batman 2: DC Super Heroes, the Dynamic Duo of Batman and Robin join other famous super heroes from the DC Universe including Superman, Wonder Woman and Green Lantern to save Gotham City from destruction at the hands of the notorious villains Lex Luthor and the Joker.
LEGO Batman 2: DC Super Heroes allows players to explore all new areas of Gotham City utilizing a variety of vehicles including the Batmobile and Batwing.

If you’re waiting for the sequel to Deus Ex: Human Revolution pop on to Steam and download Deus Ex, the first game in the series. Oh, you want to play it on a console? Well, here’s some good news then! PlayStation 3 owners, at least in Europe, will be able to replay Eidos’ classic.

It sold enough for it's genre and it being a budget title(well....i's not a AAA title and mainly referred as a budget title), I find it funny people forget beat em ups usually don't go past 2 mil most of the time.
And I don't care if GoW sells more, it's a stupid series that should have died with the 1st game, or atleast had a change of guard.....
Platinum should get Ninja Theory to do Bayonetta 2. :llama:

Sega said they where canceling games and named four series that were safe Bayo wasn't one.

That's not even close....
The reason why I stated GoW should hve ended for Kratos at the first one is precisely what they were aiming for: A Greek Tragedy
The first one had all of what made it just that and I cant deny that.....but then, it went on and on and on.....not even being a Greek Tragedy and now a stupid revenge story when it's not even that. Not to mention the game has around 5-6 games compared to Bayonetta's ONE.
If anything, I'm acting more like a Psychonauts fan or Beyond Good and Evil fan. As the game was good but is now mainly screwed.

Greek Tragedy? He becomes the GOD OF WAR at the end. HE ESCAPES FROM HADES. Where does tragedy come into it? The family thing was one thing, that's the only tragedy, and if you think that's sad you should read real greek mythology to depress yourself. (Hades was one of the nicer gods). it always was a Revenge story, only thing that changed after the first game was he hated all the gods instead of 1 because the others also fucked him over afterwards.
But seriously stop jizzing over female characters you like.
I found the Ninja Theory joke funny too.

Yeah Greek gods seems to be jerks Soul Calibur is another good example of it in games, Hephaestus Sends several untrained warriors out to die ruins Sophitia and her families life same for Aeon then Ares decide to use Aeon for his own plans and to kill Hephaestus who decide to send more untrained warriors out to die against Nightmare or get eaten by Aeon while making them stronger best part is Which characters in the game have a destined battle against Aeon, The CaS characters so basically your making characters for Aeon to devour.

Ugh, You seriously don't get it, do you?(although the fact you missed my point by stating I love Bayonetta for her body already makes your point clear....)
So I'll make this clear: God of War 1 had EVERYTHING a Greek Tragedy has: A Hero that basically has one huge flaw that will lead to his downfall with a real bad past A connection to the Greek Gods(they must have been involved) And basically him realizing that his flaw, but it being way too late to save him from his inevitable fate and now must live or die in misery.
And it was NEVER a revenge story. Kratos fucked himself MULTIPLE TIMES, his anger is literally his own worst enemy(and it's been shown COUNTLESS times that it is correct) and he basically screwed over the gods and THE ENTIRE WORLD for his "revenge". Saying it was always a revenge story is stupid as all hell as it was never close to that, it basically became one, but it was never started as one.

EA confirms the rock band thing https://help.ea.com/article/will-rock-band-no-longer-be-available-on-mobile-devices
Quote
I've heard ROCK BAND will not be available after May 31. Is this true? Yes, we will be suspending support of ROCK BAND after May 31 and focusing resources on other EA titles. We thank everyone for playing ROCK BAND, and we encourage you to explore some of the other exciting titles in our mobile line-up.
Can I still play ROCK BAND if I've already downloaded it? The ROCK BAND servers will be live through May 31, 2012. If you have already downloaded the game, you can continue to play until then.
Technology news site, The Verge, are reporting that Microsoft will launch a suprise 4GB Xbox 360 + Kinect bundle next week for the low price of $99. The catch? That it comes with a mandatory two-year subscription to Xbox Live, which will cost you $15 per month.
Let’s do the math to see just how much value this bundle really offers the consumer. Here’s what it would look like if you bought all of these components and services by yourself separately:
$200 (4GB Xbox 360) + $100 (Kinect) + $120 (Subscribe to Xbox Live Gold for 2 years) = $420
Here’s what it looks like if you buy and Xbox 360 and Kinect, but then buy Xbox Live Gold membership cards off Amazon instead of a monthly subscription:
$200 (4GB Xbox 360) + $100 (Kinect) + $100 (Two Xbox Live Gold cards) = $400
And finally, here’s what this new “$99” bundle works out to:
$100 (4GB Xbox 360 and Kinect) + $360 (For $15 per-month Xbox Live Gold) = $460
That said, the Verge say that the 2-year Gold subscription with the bundle will come with some additional streaming content from cable providers or sports package providers, although this content hasn’t been detailed yet. You will also be allowed to terminate the $15 per-month Gold subscription, but for an unnamed fee. More details will presumably be available next week.
What?

Masahiro Sakurai, creator of Kirby, Smash Bros. and Kid Icarus Uprising, decided to sneak into a particular game studio today in order to get a sneak peak at the studio's games ahead of E3. While Sakurai did not identify the target of his sneaking work by name, he did share a picture: So what did Sakurai see at this studio? Sadly, we may never know, as he says he was caught within two seconds... possibly by Atsushi Inaba who Tweeted, "@Sora_Sakurai spotted!" Sakurai feels that he might have made it in if he'd had a box in his inventory.
Marvel Avengers: Battle for Earth Coming To Wii U And Kinect (http://www.siliconera.com/2012/05/10/marvel-avengers-battle-for-earth-coming-to-wii-u-and-kinect/)
Quote
This morning, Ubisoft announced Marvel Avengers: Battle for Earth, a game for the Wii U and Microsoft’s Kinect. Battle for Earth will be a motion-controlled game, although Ubisoft haven’t announced just how it will be played on the two platforms. The game will have the classic Avengers—Captain America, Iron Man, Thor and Hulk—fighting of an invasion of genetically-altered Skrulls, but will also have other Marvel characters. Whether or not these characters will be playable hasn’t been announced, but Ubisoft say that Battle for Earth will have over 20 Marvel characters, and will be based on the Secret Invasion comic series. Marvel Avengers: Battle for Earth is being developed by Ubisoft Quebec and will be released sometime this fall. “Fans of the Marvel universe and superhero games are going to love the extensive combinations of characters, motion-controlled moves and competitive gameplay,” said Tony Key, Ubisoft’s U.S. Senior VP of Sales and Marketing.

Rumor: Kinect-Controlled Web-Browsing Coming to the Xbox 360 with Internet Explorer (http://kotaku.com/5909314/rumor-kinect+controlled-web+browsing-coming-to-the-xbox-360-with-internet-explorer)
Quote
In yet another evolution of Xbox rumor, The Verge reports today that Microsoft's game console will be adding full web-browsing functionality with a special version of their Internet Explorer software. The article claims that users won't need to have the Kinect motion-sensing accessory to use the modified browser, but the software's been tuned to work with gestural input. This version of IE will also reportedly use the Bing voice recognition search to initiate searches and deliver webpages. This rumor has the ring of truth since it's a conceptual extension of the same thinking that brought Bing to the Xbox 360. Integration of social networks like Twitter and Facebook has existed on the 360 for a while now, but there's been a conspicuous lack of robust web-browsing on the home console. The Verge successfully outed the existence of the $99 subsidized Xbox 360, so they may be on the money here as well.

Capcom will release a not yet officially anounced limited art book related to the 25th Anniversary of Street Fighter. This book is 64 pages strong full of the submissions to their anniversary project. Many Images are also from the Game Art HQ (yes thats my site and i am fucking proud!) SF Tribute Project. The book will most likely be officially announced in July.
A 25th Anniversary Project of the MegaMan Series is also planned by Capcom, but dont expect something before September from the official side.

Post by: Iced on May 12, 2012, 12:28:29 pm
Wait, so the submissions were for their anniversary project, submited by the artists, and what you have is a website that tries to get fanart, and some of the art crosses over because they ended up in both?
Title: Re: gaming news that don't deserve their own thread
Post by: Bad News GBK on May 12, 2012, 12:45:59 pm
Nah
The submissions were for the Game Art HQ tribute which was started by me in October 2011 already the most of them were drawn in 2011 already as well. Capcoms own tribute was announced 3 weeks ago on april 18th. 2 weeks ago Capcom asked me to promote their tribute, in return they promoted the Game Art HQ SF Tribute via their capcom unity website, facebook and twitter. I am never using artworks an artist made for anything else than a project i organized, i dont want my projects to be just a collection.
I negotiated with capcom that artists can submit entries to them which were drawn for the Game Art HQ SF Tribute and it seems they were quite happy about it because they mentioned they would like to work with me again on an upcoming MegaMan tribute later this year. This will be funny since i organized a MM1 tribute in january already with over 20 artists onboard which is strictly about MM1 while capcom plans something for the whole series.
There are at least 11 fan artworks in the official SF tribute Anniversary book now which were drawn originally for my Game Art HQ Project, at least 5 of them were submitted by the artists after i told them about the capcom project :-)
As a big SF fan by myself it makes me quite proud i could create a project with around 250 artists participating (its not complete yet) and that it was promoted by capcom and websites like eventhubs, and hey i get a gratis copy of the limited artbook too :)
The next fan art project there is a 20th Anniversary of Kirby Tribute by exactly 20 artists, more or less all Kirby Characters and Games will be featured in that one, it will be published in July
What did you mean by " what you have is a website that tries to get fan art" lol. Artists ask me to feature their work actually.
Title: Re: gaming news that don't deserve their own thread
Post by: Iced on May 12, 2012, 01:03:38 pm
i mean that its a collection website and not a development website, like you said, you dont do anything other than organizing contests for people to enter of their own volition, you dont pay them or train them . you just had made it sound as if it was a bigger thing. Saying projects over and over again was making it sound weird. Contests would be a better definition ( if you have prizes or awards , Tributes if you dont and are just supplying the theme)
With your explanation i can understand it was what i thought it was in the beginning.
Title: Re: gaming news that don't deserve their own thread
Post by: Bad News GBK on May 12, 2012, 01:14:47 pm
Exactly i dont pay or train, the benefit for the artists is just like on Overclocked Remix the fun to share their skills in an art project/tribute/contest and maybe the hope to get a bit more publicity
What i do is developing ideas, the theme, making rules and guidelines,setting deadlines and what exactly can b claimed to get drawn, publish the works of the artists and promote them.
Paying people for drawings would be great but so far the website only makes enough money to get the server costs paid trough it..who knows..maybe in 5 years it will be different ^^ wish me luck

Capcom Announces Ex Troopers for PS3 and 3DS Strange choice of consoles.
Quote
Famitsu has first word on a new Capcom title this week. Titled Ex Troopers, this action shooting game is being developed for PS3 and 3DS release under the watch of producer Shintaro Kojima (Monster Hunter series).
Ex Troopers shares the same world view as Lost Planet. However, the game has an anime visual style and a school-themed story. According to a summary of Famitsu's article from Sinobi, the game looks like a science fiction Justice Gakuen. Between stages, the game uses a "manga demo" event system similar to what was used in Gravity Rush. Capcom will be using May'n for the game's theme song.
We'll likely get additional details from Famitsu later in the day, and a first look later in the week, so be sure and check back!
Lost Planet offshoot EX Troopers may have just been announced this week, but it's already set for a playable debut. The game will appear at the Capcom Summer Jam event in playable form. Capcom Summer Jam will be held at Tokyo Big Site on June 30 and July 1.
Here are some additional details on EX Troopers from Famitsu's reveal article and a summary at Sokuho.
EX Troopers tells of the fight between the snow pirates and Akrid aliens on EDN-3rd. You play as Bren Turner, a young man who's come to the academy (the game has a school theme) from EDN-2nd. Famitsu also introduces such characters as TeeKee, a female snow pirate who has the ability to communicate with the Akrid, and Gingira, a Vital Suit that's loaded with next generation AI and can communicate with its pilot. Gingira calls Bren "Master."
The EDN-3rd planet has three bases, each with unique traits. You select one of these to serve as your base of operations. The three bases figure into the story, as while Bren comes from one base, other members of the academy come from different bases. The story will be told through "manga demo" cut scenes (similar to Gravity Rush).
Famitsu managed to get some interview time with Shintaro Kojima, the game's producer (previous work on the Monster Hunter series). The game was started with the hope of making a beginners' action shooter, explained Kojima. While EX Troopers shares its world setting with Lost Planet, they hope that players play it lightly as a new title.
Unfortunately, the reveal article does not seem to have much in the way of gameplay details. But with a playable debut coming next month, we'll hopefully get details over the coming weeks.
EX Troopers will see 3DS and PS3 release some time this year. The game is currently 60% complete, Famitsu reports. Capcom is also planning developments outside of games for the title
Nomura: New Titles Take Priority Over Final Fantasy VII Remake (http://andriasang.com/con116/nomura_on_ffvii/)
Quote
Famitsu has an anniversary feature on Final Fantasy VII this week, complete with an interview with character designer Tetsuya Nomura.
In the interview, Nomura admits that there is much desire for a Final Fantasy VII remake. However, the focus is now on making new titles, he says. They're working to make these new games match or even top Final Fantasy VII.
Nomura also says that he personally believes Yoshinori Kitase is the true successor to the FF series.
The Nomura interview also included some development trivia. The Yufie character was originally planned to be a wanted person, according to Nomura. In Midgar, you'd see wanted posters showing her face. Each poster would have a different face, and the Yufie that joined your party would have the face of the last poster that you saw.
Then why are we getting a FFX HD remake and not VS. 13.
Baba Talks Next Tales With Famitsu (http://andriasang.com/con115/next_tales/)
Quote
Similar to last week's Jump, this week's Famitsu has a teaser look at the new "Next Tales of" game that Namco Bandai will be announcing in early June. But unlike Jump, Famitsu managed to get some commentary from series producer Hideo Baba.
Baba confirmed that the game is indeed a mothership title. The catch phrase for the game is "Are you prepared to destroy the world for the girl?" This phrase apparently has some ties to both the story and gameplay systems.
Previous titles were "high fantasy" games with swords and magic. This time, the game will have a more modern theme. The game's world view will be thick with cultural elements.
Despite these changes, Baba assured that the game will have the Tales play feel. However, he also said to consider this the team's challenge to take the Tales series to the next stage.
Outside of the new Tales mothership game, Baba said that Namco Bandai has other Tales games in development.
He also commented on the the recent closure of Tales Studio. The studio's staff moved into Namco Bandai. He believes this change will have some positive effects, as members of the Tales team can move to the Idolmaster team, and members of the Soul Calibur and Taiko Drum Master teams come to the Tales team.

Capcom is 're-evaluating' its DLC policies because enough people started crying about it.
Quote
Capcom has taken heavy fire from gamers upset with the publisher's tendency to ship some of its games with on-disc downloadable content. Physical copies of games like Dragon's Dogma and Street Fighter X Tekken ship with content that you can only access if you dish out extra for the privilege.
Capcom Senior Vice-President Christian Svensson addressed the controversy in a blog post last night, saying the company plans to revisit its DLC strategy soon:
We've been getting several questions, here and elsewhere about the future of on-disc DLC. We would like to assure you that we have been listening to your comments and as such have begun the process of re-evaluating how such additional game content is delivered in the future. As this process has only just commenced in the past month or so, there will be some titles, where development began some time ago and that are scheduled for release in the coming months, for which we are unable to make changes to the way some of their post release content is delivered.
In other words, upcoming titles like Dragon's Dogma, out May 22, can't be changed. It's too late to remove that game's on-disc DLC. But Capcom might approach its projects differently in the future. Or so they say.
Capcom is 're-evaluating' its DLC policies because enough people started crying about it.
Way to go, you big babbies. You did it.
::)
SFxT, go to ELITE CHANNEL + find your Unreleased On-Disc DLC characters kicking ass. + realize it was a stupid idea to begin with + remove it from the PC version, because haxors will get it.
I don't think it's about people starting to cry (lol this has been an issue all along since it was discovered) but more like Capcom realizing they lose face by doing it, and that people will crack it anyway ... so it's not good business.
Title: Re: gaming news that don't deserve their own thread
Post by: Girard on May 16, 2012, 09:48:27 pm
So if the Content is already done by the time the game release does it make a difference if it's on-disc,off-disc or on another disc. does it not being on the disc make it better let's say the 12 characters were done but not on the disc is that better than them being on the disc either way you can't access finished content it being off the disc just makes it easier for people to fall for it.

2K's new XCOM FPS has been delayed yet again. The game will now launch some time between 1st April 2013 and March 31st 2014, according to publisher Take-Two's quarterly financial report.
It had been due for release in the current fiscal year. No reason was offered for the hold up. Traditional strategy effort XCOM: Enemy Unknown is still due for release in October.
The publisher's report also offered a few Max Payne 3 updates. The PC version of Rockstar's recent sequel is available from 1st June, with a beefy DLC schedule following after that:
Local Justice Map Pack (DLC) - June Disorganized Crime Map Pack (DLC) - Summer Deathmatch Made In Heaven Mode Pack (DLC) - Summer Hostage Negotiation Map Pack (DLC) - Summer New York Minute Co-Op Pack (DLC) - Summer Painful Memories Map Pack (DLC) - Autumn Trickle Down Economics Map Pack (DLC) - Autumn
Grand Theft Auto 5 is still listed as "TBA".
It wasn't a bumper quarter for the publisher. It reported net revenue of $148.1 million, down from $182.3 million this time last year.
Revenue for the entire fiscal year came in at $825.8 million, as compared to $1,136.9 million last year.
"Fiscal 2012 was a year of creative, operational and strategic achievement by our Company," said CEO Strauss Zelnick.
"We delivered groundbreaking titles, including L.A. Noire and NBA 2K12, which set new standards for excellence; grew our revenue from digitally delivered content and mobile offerings; made substantial progress on our online gaming initiatives; and bolstered our already strong liquidity through a convertible notes offering.
"While our financial results were disappointing, the decisions we made position Take-Two for growth and profitability both this year and over the long-term."
Yakuza 5: Five Cities, Five Main Characters (http://andriasang.com/con13k/yakuza_5_details/)
Quote
Sega appears to be going with a "5" theme for Yakuza 5. Joining the previously announced five cities, the game will also have five main characters. This is one up from previous titles, which have had at most four main characters.
The full Japanese name for Yakuza 5, as revealed in Famitsu this week, is "Ryu ga Gotoku 5: Yume Kanaeshi Mono." A rough (very rough) translation would be "Yakuza 5: Person Who Fulfills Dreams."
This early report from Famitsu comes via our usual flying get source, Sinobi. Sinobi also says that the game seems like it may be released in December (the phrasing suggests that it's not stated directly in the magazine).
As detailed in November, the five cities were previously announced as Sapporo, Tokyo, Nagoya, Osaka and Fukuoka. Series producer Toshihiro Nagoshi also previously confirmed that Kazuma Kiryu would be one of the main characters.
It's unclear at present if Famitsu has additional character reveals, but we should be getting more details later in the day.
Keiji Inafune Working on Level-5's Guild 02 Sequel announced before Guild 01's release. (http://andriasang.com/con13o/guild02_announcement/)
Quote
Before Guild 01's release, Level-5 has announced a followup. This week's Famitsu has first details on Guild 02.
According to Sinobi's quick summary of the magazine, Guild 02 will feature contributions from former Capcom great Keiji Inafune, Mini Kitchen's Kazu Ayabe (My Summer Vacation series) and Takemaru Abiko and Kazuya Asano of Otogiriso fame (a summary of this CunSoft classic here.)
That's all the info contained in Sinobi's Tweet about the game, but we'll hopefully have additional details later. We should also be getting a review score for Guild 01, which sees release next week.

I remember reading an interview made by one of the shitty developers of it about DC Universe. He was like "Yeah that DC game is pretty good, but no one wants to play as their own creation, everyone just wants to be Batman. That's why for our project, we're going to be doing just that." I'm going to try to fetch a link for it but it made me upset

Today, Marvel and Gazillion Entertainment showed off the first in-game trailer for Marvel Heroes, an upcoming free-to-play MMO set in the Marvel Comics universe, along with new details of the game. Take a look at the short trailer below:
Did the trailer remind you of Diablo? That’s because Gazillion Entertainment’s president is David Brevik, who was co-founder of Blizzard North, the original Diablo and Diablo II developer, before they parted ways with the rest of Blizzard. “Marvel Heroes represents the combination of Marvel IP with all of the knowledge and experience I gained creating Diablo,” Brevik says about the game.
Marvel Heroes will include familiar locales from the various Marvel comics, including Hell’s Kitchen (Daredevil), the Savage Land (X-Men) and Mutant Town. In the Marvel universe’s version of Midtown Manhattan and locales like the Xavier Institute for Higher Learning, you’ll be able to meet other players, select missions, buy items from identifiable Marvel characters and so on.
Players will be able to customize their Marvel heroes by finding costumes from each character’s storied history, and by assigning different powers to them. As far as characters go, you’ll be able to recruit a bunch of Marvel’s identifiable characters, going from popular ones like the Avengers to more obscure ones like Squirrel Girl and Ka-Zar.

Can't catch a break can they. http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2012-05-23-judge-recommends-us-xbox-360-ban http://www.courthousenews.com/2012/05/22/46716.htm
Quote
A judge has recommended that the Xbox 360 be banned in the US.
Courthouse News reports that Judge David Shaw said the International Trade Commission should use a cease and desist order to ban imports of the Xbox 360 Slim 4GB and 250GB models into the US because, in his view, they infringe on four patents owned by Motorola.
He also wants Microsoft to post a bond equal to seven per cent of the value of unsold Xbox 360s in the US.
The patents at the heart of the dispute revolve around how the Xbox 360 decodes video content. Motorola claims ownership on the tech powering this.
Reacting to this latest decision, Microsoft argued the ban would not serve the public interest because it would leave consumers with only two home console options: the PlayStation 3 and the Nintendo Wii. But the judge rejected the claim, saying it was more important to enforce intellectual property rights. Plus, he wasn't convinced Sony and Nintendo wouldn't be able to meet increased demand.
Microsoft said the suggested seven per cent bond was unnecessary, and recommended it be reduced to 2.5 per cent. Motorola wants it increased to a whopping 100 per cent of the value of the unsold Xbox 360s.
So what happens next in this long-running, complex patent dispute? If the ITC makes the judge's recommendation final, President Barack Obama will then have 60 days to review the decision. After that period expires, the next step is the Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit.
Earlier this month a US judge accused the warring factions of using the US District Court as "a pawn in a global, industry-wide business negotiation".
Judge James Robart said both sides were clearly "driven by an attempt to secure commercial advantage". "To an outsider looking at it, it has been arbitrary, it has been arrogant and frankly it has been based on hubris," he said.
A German court has already ruled in favour of Motorola, granting an injunction prohibiting sales of the console in the country. However, Robart issued a temporary restraining order preventing Motorola from enforcing that decision.

360 owners probably won't be affected I don't think but no one will be able to BUY them until Microsoft pays the court. Microsoft won't let 360s be banned here, I'm certain, but if they do then I don't doubt that Microsoft might cut off Xbox Live for us.

"The graphics of the Wii U version of Darksiders 2 are "at least as good" as the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 versions', developer Vigil has said.
Game companies and developers are under strict orders not to discuss the Wii U in detail publicly, a directive that has led to speculation about the horsepower of Nintendo's Wi successor. Indeed one report from earlier this year claimed the Wii U was "not as capable" as the PS3 and Xbox 360.
But with final developer kits now with engineers, and Nintendo just two weeks away from unveiling the final version of the hardware at E3, Vigil has insisted Wii U owners will see visual parity when it comes to multiplatform games.
"The visuals will be the same," associate producer Jay Fitzloff told Eurogamer. "It's still a work in progress. But I know, at least as good is the way to say it."

I only tried to bring up an argument which is related to mugen since we are on a mugen related forum ^^ Personally i didnt play Mugen since years now, i wouldnt care a lot about the negative aspects of cloud gaming to the mugen community but thought that example shows one of the many small negative sides of cloud gaming.
My personal reason to be totally against cloud gaming is that i dont have any form of the files at home..be it on physical media or at least the files, but i prefer having the physical media.
Cloud gaming means only renting the right to play a game, and if your internet has connection issues well you are screwed. Worse is that you dont rent the rights for a "life time" ..instead you are only renting them for a amount of time and you cant be sure you will be able to play game xxx again in 5 years since it can be the company doesnt support that game anymore since only a small group of people still plays it.

Trying to make the argument "but but mugen" was weird. you make it sound as if you think anyone that is into mugen actually would think such an argument would be valid and not dumb. Cloud computing sounds pretty good of an idea where you are always online, but its limited by the ideal connection speed thing. there would be a need for a balance for what you could do online and off, or just be perpetually online, like you do with things like iphone. ( you can be offline, but you are not using half the potential )

There is people who search for that, girard only has to follow those persons.
Trying to make the argument "but but mugen" was weird. you make it sound as if you think anyone that is into mugen actually would think such an argument would be valid and not dumb. Cloud computing sounds pretty good of an idea where you are always online, but its limited by the ideal connection speed thing. there would be a need for a balance for what you could do online and off, or just be perpetually online, like you do with things like iphone. ( you can be offline, but you are not using half the potential )
In have seen some notes on nvidia putting more blame on video compression than network, thus they are designing some hw architecture that compresses video faster.

Gaikai teasing a big E3 announcement (http://www.gameblog.fr/news/29082-e3-une-presentation-qui-va-changer-le-jeu-video-chez-gaikai)
Quote
Gaikai has major announcements for E3, which has the potential to change the future of video game, the game consoles and the way in which we play.
Spoiler: stuff releated to the Street Fighter anniversary package(click to see content)
Quote
Andrew: I realize that Capcom is going to disclose more information about this set, but I felt like posting this to potentially save Capcom some time so that they know which questions people have about the upcoming SF collection. The following are my questions and I'm sure other people will have questions of their own to add.
Where can we pre-order it from? I know the Capcom store already has it up, but I have had bad experiences with Digital River and would rather not have to deal with them.
We are working with the big guys, and they should have their order pages up shortly. In fact, Amazon's order pages are up right now:
Xbox 360 PS3
Because of the quantities, the set won't be available in mom-and-pop stores.
Will the included DLC (for Arcade Edition and SFxT) be unlocked on the disc (ala PS3's Resident Evil 5 Gold DLC) or will the game come with a PSN/XboxLive code to download the unlock key (ala 360's Resident Evil 5 Gold DLC)? The former would be the preferred one.
As was mentioned earlier in the thread, it would be the download keys. If we would have had it be available on-disc, it would have required some re-development, which would have forced us to increase the price.
What costume packs are being referred to for the Arcade Edition's included DLC? All of them (Vanilla, Super, Ultra, Arcade Edition)? That would be great.
Every single costume from every version. (I believe it's 102 total.)
Will SFIITHD and SFIIIOE be reedemable through download codes or will they be on a disc(s)? For the 360 Edition? For the PS3 Edition?
Download codes for both version.
Will the documentary still be on a Bluray disc for the 360 edition? Will it be 1080p?
Yes, so you will require a separate Blu-Ray player. It will be 1080p.
Will the SFIV and SSFIV movies be on Bluray for the 360 edition? For PS3 Edition? Will they be 1080p?
They will be included on the Blu-Ray for both versions. The Ties that Bind (the SFIV movie) will be 1080p, and the SSFIV OVA will be 720p (that is what it was produced in)
Will the Street Fighter Animated Series be on Bluray for the 360 edition? For PS3 edition? Will it be 1080p?
It will be included on the Blu-Ray for both versions, and it will be in standard definition (no HD version exists).
Will the Street Fighter II movie be on Bluray for the 360 edition? For the PS3 edition? Will it be 1080p?
It will be included on the Blu-Ray for both versions, and it will be in standard definition (no HD version exists).
Which Street Fighter II animated series are we getting?
I'm not sure exactly which item you're referring to. The animated series is the USA Network version from 1995-1997. The Street Fighter II Animated Movie is the one animated by Group TAC and released in 1994. If you're thinking of Street Fighter II V, that is not included (legal reasons).
Who is making the Ryu Statue? Any company we should be excited about (like Sideshow or Kotobukiya)?
I suppose that partially depends on who you get excited about, but it is Multiverse, which is made up of some of the best designers at SOTA, who have made a number of our larger statues before. However, I can vouch that the detailing and overall quality of the statue in the collector's set is one of the best I've seen for its size.
Any chance of releasing the track list for the Soundtracks?
Yes, but just to give you a heads-up:
• Street Fighter - Basically, all the music from the arcade game. • Super Street Fighter II Turbo - All the character themes, character ending themes, and general game themes (from the arcade version). • Street Fighter Alpha 3 - Essentially the same as the official soundtrack from way back when. • Street Fighter III Third Strike - The entire original soundtrack, plus the Online Edition soundtrack. • Super Street Fighter IV Arcade Edition - Themes for all 39 characters. • Street Fighter x Tekken - Very similar to the soundtrack included in Japan's SFxTK special edition. • Fan-created music - Much too varied to list here (we're going to have a special feature about the 40+ contributing artists closer to launch), but it spans a wide variety of styles and genres for both remixes and original works.
What is the edition size of this run? For PS3? For 360? Altogether?
Our numbers are 14,500 for the Xbox 360, and 15,500 for the PS3. So that's 30,000 total. I should note, we're not reprinting this. Once that number is gone, it's gone for good.
What are the Artbook's dimensions? — Jonathan
I'd need to double check for the exact dimensions, but to the best of my memory, it's roughly 7.4 inches wide by 10.5 inches tall. I can be more specific if you need, but rest assured it's not a manual-sized art book.
Will the two OVAs have an english & japanese audio tracks? Will the blu-ray disc also include the animated story trailers like the Sakura, Chun-Li, C. Viper, and Ryu trailers? And if so, will they be in HD res with duel language audio too? — 3DJr.
Andrew: We are looking into ways to get the Japanese audio tracks on without degrading the overall quality of either audio or video, but for the moment, they are English only.
The Blu-Rays will not include the animated story trailers, just full-length videos.
Will this be coming to Europe? There's a lot of people that want this here. — LiamDavison
Andrew: Unfortunately, no. I can assure you that it was not for lack of trying. We spent several months aggressively trying to get it sold in retailers throughout Europe, but at the end of the day, it didn't happen. I can't go into the details, but basically we were told by what I'll call relevant companies that they did not think there would be enough interest in such a non-standard product. Obviously, they've been proven wrong, but unfortunately they can't go back and change it.
For what it's worth, your best bet at the moment is to import via Amazon.
What edit of the animated SF2 movie is being included? Is it going to be completely uncut?— HeeroCobain
Andrew: I kinda know what this basically boils down to, and the answer is, no nipples. Sorry.

Battlefield Premium info leaked? (http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2012-05-28-battlefield-premium-to-cost-35-5th-dlc-is-aftermath-report)
Quote
Battlefield Premium will cost £35/$60, according to a new report.
A Battlefield Premium listing on Coolshop.co.uk (spotted by MP1st) carries a 29th June release date and a £34.96 price.
Its description: "BF3 Premium Service is 1 code in a box to give the consumers early access to the BF3 DLC expansion packs - Back to Karkand (already released), Close Quarters (releasing June), Armoured Kill (releasing Sept) and End Game (releasing December)."
Battlefield Premium, thought to be set for a reveal during EA's E3 2012 press conference, is said to include early access to DLC and "premium benefits". It includes access to a mysterious fifth DLC expansion called Aftermath.
MP1st lists the contents:
20 Maps. 20 New Weapons. 10+ New Vehicles. 4+ New Game Modes. 30+ Assignments. 20+ Dog Tags. Also includes "Premium Benefits" which are made up of skins, camos and most importantly early access to all DLC.
These maps, weapons, vehicles game modes assignments and dog tags are spread across the following DLC: Back to Karkand. Close Quarters in June 2012. Armored Kill in autumn 2012. Aftermath in late 2012. End Game in spring 2013.
No new Final Fantasy XIV trailer at E3, moved to August instead http://lodestone.finalfantasyxiv.com/pl/teaser/index.html http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/threads/46535
Quote
There have been some changes to the roadmap for version 2.0. We had planned to release a new trailer for version 2.0 at E3 this year, but instead we’ve decided to keep it under wraps for now. (The current version of the roadmap has been updated to reflect this.)
The devs, Visual Works, Sound, PR—everyone did their part and the trailer itself was completed and ready for release at E3. But during our most recent global PR planning meeting, we came to the conclusion that the most effective way to introduce version 2.0 to the world would be with a flood of new material rather than just a trickle.
In order to make version 2.0 a success, we need to appeal to not only our current players (naturally!), but also as many new players as possible, including PS3 owners. I really am sorry for the changes to the roadmap, but I really hope you understand that they were made with appealing to as many of you as possible in mind. We want to place the highest priority on keeping the 2.0 development schedule on track and on time, and prepare a large-scale promotional campaign filled with mind-blowing stuff!
For myself, I’m shifting into super producer mode for the release of version 2.0. I’m in Japan right now, but will soon be winging my way to LA for E3.
As mentioned in my previous missive, the focus of this letter will be the third edition of the Players’ Poll, but before we get into that I have a few things I’d like to report.
Well, the public release of version 2.0 is set to kickoff with this year’s E3 in Los Angeles. We also plan to unveil a brand new promotion site for version 2.0 soon after E3 ends.
This new site will feature world lore, character, system, and content updates as soon as the information is available. This means that our existing players will have the chance to follow these updates and see how the current world of FFXIV will transform as we move into version 2.0
So no FFvs13 news no FFXIV what will they talk about for FF at E3 more FFXIII-2 DLC FFXIII-3 a FFXV or that FFX HD remake.

Every information about the WiiU so far gives me that impression though.
Most likely the WiiU`s graphical capabilities are on par or a bit higher than the XB360 and the PS3, but nothing implies it will have technique far ahead of the current gen consoles, while its getting released in 2012 the technique seems to be similar to that of 2005/2006

Rumor: Microsoft to Change DLC name to APC next Gen my only source for this a NeoGaf topic that seems like it was written by some idoit. (http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=475971) Normally i wouldn't post this but apparantly this guy has be accurate with this type of Info before so i figured hey this might make good discussion. So according to this guy Microsoft is changing DLC's name to APC(additional paid content) if this is true i think it's one of the greatest idea in the history of scamming it's pretty much hey we can put DLC on the disc and don''t have to have PR deal with it and you can't report us cause no where does it say downloadable only additional.
And so my post doesn't seem wasted on a crazy rumor. Atlus Announces Shin Megamitensei 4 For 3DS (http://andriasang.com/con173/megaten4_3ds/)
With THQ shares trading at nearly 50 cents a share, it's clear that the battered publisher needs to turn itself around.
Outspoken THQ EVP Danny Bilson is leaving the company "to pursue other interests." While Bilson has been key in refocusing THQ on "core games," another new hire should cement that direction even further: Jason Rubin, co-founder of Uncharted developer Naughty Dog.
Effective immediately, Rubin will take over as president of THQ, and will be responsible for all of THQ's worldwide development, marketing and publishing operations. THQ CEO Brian Farrell said in a prepared statement: "Jason's proven track record in the industry speaks for itself, and he is one of the brightest minds in the business. We believe he can be a game changer and can contribute immensely to executing on our strategy of delivering quality connected core game experiences."
"THQ has incredible internal and external game development teams, and an exciting slate of games in its development pipeline," Jason Rubin said in a press release. "The recent transformation of THQ into a creator of wholly-owned IP has placed it in a perfect position to leverage future trends in the game business."
Rubin is certainly joining THQ at an interesting time. While the company has continuously underperformed, its upcoming library includes some of Shacknews' most-wanted games, including Metro: Last Light and Company of Heroes 2.

Quote
We've heard little about Monster Hunter 4 since its announcement, but that will change shortly. Capcom updated the Capcom Summer Jam official site today with notice of a Monster Hunter series stage for the weekend event. The stage will include the latest information on MH4.
Resident Evil 6 will also be in the spotlight as part of its own stage. Capcom promises "first Japanese reveal" information for the stage. The wording makes it sound like the event will just recap announcements made previously overseas, but we'll have to tune in this weekend to be sure.
Capcom Summer Jam will be held on June 30 and July 1 at Tokyo Big Site.
Capcom was previously promising an update on the event for the 31st, which is tomorrow. The MH4 and RE6 stage details were quickly removed after posting, so it's possible that this was an early leak.

New Doom 3 For Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 Supports Head-Mounted Displays
A Doom 3 BFG Edition is coming to the PC, Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 this fall with "hours of new content" including a seven-level solo section called "The Lost Mission".
"DOOM 3 was enthusiastically embraced by gamers worldwide at its release," id's technical director (and Doom co-creator) John Carmack said in today's press-release. "Today, the full experience has been enhanced and extended to be better than ever, and is delivered across all the platforms with a silky smooth frame rate and highly responsive controls. New support for 3D TVs, monitors, and head mounted displays also allows players to experience the game with more depth than ever before. We think shooter fans everywhere will love it."
The Doom 3 BFG Edition will include the original game, the already-released add-on Resurrection Evil, the 2004-era Doom 3 with "greatly enhanced graphics", a checlpoint save system and copies of Doom 1 and Doom 2 and...
"DOOM 3 now features the new armor-mounted flashlight, allowing players to illuminate dark corners and blast enemies at the same time."

Sony close to agreeing cloud gaming acquisition (http://www.mcvuk.com/news/read/sony-close-to-agreeing-cloud-gaming-acquisition/096914)
Quote
In a move that will rock the next generation of console gaming, Sony is close to agreeing an acquisition of a high profile cloud gaming firm, MCV understands.
It was reported earlier this week that Sony was to reveal a partnership with a cloud gaming firm – specifically either OnLive or Gaikai – at E3 next week.
Subsequent chatter had seemingly calmed the rumours, suggesting that the proposed agreement was to do with Sony streaming TV services, and not consoles.
However, MCV understands that the deal is far more extensive than anyone could have predicted and will see Sony fully acquire one of the two firms. The deal, our source says, “is close to being signed”.

Quote
Titled Star Wars 1313, the internally-developed third-person action adventure game will see players take on the role of a bounty hunter navigating a subterranean metropolis Level 1313, beneath the surface of the planet Coruscant.
While the game will make its formal debut at next week's Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3), LucasArts announced the game is being development with the help of artists across the Lucasfilm organization, including LucasArts, Industrial Light & Magic, Lucasfilm Animation Ltd. and Skywalker Sound. The game will be based on the Unreal engine and feature full-body performance capture.
Star Wars 1313 will see players utilise "exotic" weapons in a bid to uncover the truth surrounding a criminal conspiracy beneath Coruscant. According to LucasArts, the game will emphasize fast-paced combat--the game's hero will use human skills and gadgets rather than supernatural Force powers. In addition, the game will feature a combination of cover-based combat, platforming and "playable cinematic gameplay".
"Star Wars 1313 dives into a part of the Star Wars mythos that we've always known existed, but never had a chance to visit," LucasArts president Paul Meegan said in a statement.
No details have yet been given on platforms or release date.

Hitman HD Collection spotted for PS3 (http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2012-06-01-hitman-hd-collection-spotted-for-ps3)
Quote
A trilogy of last-gen Hitman games is being packaged together for re-release on PlayStation 3, a retailer listing suggests.
The Hitman HD Collection will feature Hitman 2: Silent Assassin, Hitman 3: Contracts and Hitman: Blood Money. All three will be presented in high definition.
The compilation, spotted on Italian retailer 16Games, is listed for release on 15th October. That gives gamers around a month to sample Hitman's backstory before Hitman: Absolution arrives on 20th November.
Silent Assassin, Contracts and Blood Money make up the second, third and fourth titles in the series, which directly precede upcoming fifth instalment Absolution.
"Enter a world of crime, sin and greed. Penetrate deeper into the recesses of the mind of Agent 47, the world's deadliest assassin. Remaining anonymous, being quick and totally ruthless: these are the keys to a perfect execution," the retail blurb reads.
"Follow Agent 47 while executing orders on behalf of slum-living criminals or on behalf of the highest summits of power. Nothing is important except the target."

Paying thousands to have the opening video animated by... /a/ says Sunrise... is a real poor investment when their pre-existing gameplay footage does a better job of introducing the game and hyping up the player.
By contrast, this is more or less the opening video from ZOE2. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ctlefthn6H8) This shit still gives me goosebumps and it's what, nearly a decade old.

Nintendo 3DS Patent Covers Vibrating Stylus, New Kinds of Control That innuendo picture. http://www.nintendolife.com/news/2012/05/3ds_patent_covers_vibrating_stylus_new_kinds_of_control
Quote
Nintendo's filed a patent for a new kind of input on 3DS — one that requires no physical contact with the console at all.
The application uses the 3DS console's inner-facing camera along with a stylus to manipulate 3D images on the top screen without the need for buttons, touch screen or moving the console.
The inward-facing camera detects a 'marker' applied to the end of a stylus. The 3DS can calculate the marker's position in 3D space based on its size and position, using that information to manipulate an item on the top screen. By moving the stylus further away, the object could appear to 'come out' of the screen; move the stylus nearer and the object would appear to move deeper into the 3D space.
It wouldn't be limited to the inner camera either — the patent shows you could use the same stylus-marker combination to move items behind the machine, rather like moving the cards around in the system's existing Augmented Reality software only with far more flexibility.
The patent also refers to a new kind of stylus with a vibration function, giving you physical feedback when you interact with the virtual items, as well as a marker allowing it to be tracked by the 3DS camera. You wouldn't need this stylus though — the patent also shows the system works if you put the marker on your finger.

IGN: Devs: PS4/Xbox 3 By Jan 2014, Xbox 3 easiest/best selling, Wii U "too complex." (http://ca.ign.com/articles/2012/06/01/the-next-generation-according-to-game-developers)
Quote
The next generation of consoles starts in 2013, if all goes according to developers’ plans. In an anonymous questionnaire, multiple industry professionals told IGN that they plan to release games for the next Microsoft and Sony consoles before January 1, 2014. Multiple developers also intend to launch software for an unannounced platform next year. The end is nigh.
Quote
To further signal the winding down of the current console generation, approximately 60% of respondents have no plans to release games for the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, or Nintendo Wii after 2013. Of course, this means some 40% intend to keep at current-gen releases after next year. To that point, an anonymous developer told IGN, “I would not be surprised if something atypical cannibalizes the market, maybe even the Xbox 360 itself.” From a hardware perspective, nearly 80% of respondents said Microsoft’s next console is the easiest to work with, and the overwhelming majority suspect it will be the sales leader over the next five years.
Quote
The ease of use compared to other consoles is assuredly attractive, too. By comparison, 63% of developers who spoke to IGN said the Wii U would be the most challenging platform to develop for. One creator went as far as saying, “we won’t be working on Wii U due to these complexities,” while another lamented the difficulty of moving innovative games unique to Wii U to other platforms. This poses the question: Will Nintendo once again need to rely primarily on first-party games to propel platform success? At any rate, the Wii U’s 2012 release window gives it a distinct advantage: time.

The people behind "Xbox" and "Xbox Live" will be revealing the Xbox Smart Glass tablet behind closed doors to a select group of people. In the official “Microsoft Confidential” presentation, they specifically noted this:
Xbox Smart Glass is a companion application for Xbox LIVE that will allow users to control their Xbox (e.g., transport controls, content discovery and search). The Xbox Smart Glass companion application will be optimized for Windows Tablets and Phones and also made available to iOS/Android Tablets and Phones. Activities will be made available within the Xbox Smart Glass companion application. Activities will be tied to existing and new applications on Xbox (e.g., Zune Music will have an activity). We will demo Xbox Smart Glass experiences for nearly all of our major brand partners at E3 (existing plus new partners). The Xbox Smart Glass companion application will have the ability to play video on Tablets/Phones and send the videos to Xbox to play on the TV. Additionally, we will demo Xbox Smart Glass capabilities (see slide 12) but at no time will we show any video content playing on a Tablet/Phone device.

Sony isn't about to let Nintendo and PC games get a leg up on it in the downloadable content (DLC) arena. That's why the company's European arm (which also runs the show in Australia and New Zealand) is taking its digital wares to GameStop, where customers will be able to use cash, gift cards or trade credits to purchase activation codes for PlayStation Network games and add-ons.

Star Wars 1313 Website + New Info http://www.forbes.com/sites/davidthier/2012/06/01/star-wars-1313-is-the-star-wars-game-ive-been-waiting-for/ http://www.giantbomb.com/news/mysterious-lucasarts-project-is-star-wars-1313/4186/ http://www.lucasarts.com/games/1313/
Giantbomb said:
There’s been idle speculation about the Star Wars 1313 trademark floating around for a few months now. Is that the name of the fabled TV show, perhaps a new movie? Nope, it’s a game, and hopefully this is Clint Hocking's project.
Star Wars 1313 will be at E3, and is described by LucasArts as a “mature” take on Star Wars (the website has an age-gate), with players exploring a location called Level 1313 as a “lethal bounty hunter.”
"Star Wars 1313 dives into a part of the Star Wars mythos that we've always known existed, but never had a chance to visit,” said LucasArts president Paul Meegan in the announcement press release.
Are we looking at a Boba Fett adventure? LucasArts isn’t saying yet, but we should know more soon.
Maybe this is E3 2012’s Prey 2. No threats of encountering a guy named Tommy, either.
Forbes said:
Details are very, very scant, and we’ll be waiting for E3 for any kind of blockbuster reveals, but here’s what we know so far: it’s a third-person action adventure game where you play a bounty hunter that makes his kills with gadgets and weapons rather than any “force nonsense.” People have speculated that it might star Boba Fett, and this has neither been confirmed nor denied.
Tales of Xillia 2 Announced (PS3) (http://andriasang.com/con1ac/tales_of_xillia_2/)
Quote
If you guessed Tales of Xillia 2 when Namco Bandai began its "Next Tales of" countdown, you were right! At todays' Tales of Festival event, series producer Hideo Baba confirmed the new game to be Tales of Xillia 2, and shared a first trailer. The PS3 sequel will take place one year after the original's end. Characters introduced in a trailer include main character Ludgar, his cat Lulu, and a little girl who's said to be the key to the story, Elle. (Note: In an earlier version of this story, we wrote that Elle is a main character like Ludgar. This appears to be incorrect. It's unclear if the game uses a dual main character system like the first Xillia). You'll be able to make key choices with Ludgar using L1 and R1. One passage in the trailer involves a decision about using tomatoes in a recipe -- Elle apparently hates tomatoes. Another sequence shows a decision with greater effect -- you're given a choice of facing off against the enemy or backing off. The event proceeds differently depending on your selection. During battle, Ludgar has a special "weapon shift" ability. He can switch between different weapons, including hammer, dual pistols and dual swords. The battle system in Xillia 2 is known as the "XDR LBMS," or "Cross Double Raid Linear Battle Motion System." Ayumi Hamasaki will once again do the theme song honors on Xillia 2. Animation is being handled by Ufotable once again. Although a Winter 2012 release time period was announced at today's broadcast, we'll get a specific date and price on June 27. An official site for the new game will be opened shortly at tox2.tales-ch.jp.

WWE All-Stars was hands-down WWE's finest wrestling title in years, and at this rate, will likely be for years to come.
But not only THQ kills an entire studio with some of their finest talent, but they shamefully do it at the start of E3 *hoping* nobody was notice? THQ definitely gets ***my*** slimiest video game publisher of the year award... so far.
edit: added extra emphasis on the word "my" in order to divert needless debate on the subject ;)

THQ sold UFC license after failing to break even (http://www.gamesindustry.biz/articles/2012-06-08-thq-sold-ufc-license-after-failing-to-break-even)
Quote
Analyst Michael Pachter hears the news from THQ management EA THQ www.thq.com
Latest reports suggest that failure to make a profit was the main reason behind THQ's sale of its Ultimate Fighting Championship license to EA.
Gamasutra reported that Wedbush analyst Michael Pachter was informed of the reasons for sale by THQ management. It confirmed the latest title for the franchise UFC Undisputed 3, which had shipped 1.4 million copies by May 20 this year, did not break even.
It explains the sale of the license to EA, which has published its own MMA title in the past. In fact, in 2009 the publisher was engaged in a war of words with UFC president Dana White.
"EA Sports told us, 'You're not a real sport. We wouldn't touch this thing. We want nothing to do with this,'" said White in July 2009.
"We put our asses on the line, THQ and the UFC, to make a video game deal in the worst economy in the world," White added. "We go out there and do this thing, and it's successful, and now [expletive] EA Sports wants to do a video game. Really? That's not what you told us a year-and-a-half ago.
"You told us you'd never be in business with us. They wouldn't even take a meeting because mixed martial arts disgusted them. This wasn't a real sport. Boy, they got over that real quick, didn't they?"
Hideo Kojima repeatedly “forced back” to MGS because of “problems” (http://www.officialplaystationmagazine.co.uk/2012/06/08/hideo-kojima-repeatedly-forced-back-to-mgs-because-of-problems/)
Quote
In an interview at E3, Metal Gear Solid creator Hideo Kojima has admitted that MGS2 was meant to be his last game in the series, but problems with others portraying his ideas forced him back into the director’s chair.
Kojima said, “Metal Gear Solid 2 was meant to be my last Metal Gear before I handed it off to the team, and the team did actually start working on MGS3, but unfortunately there were problems and it didn’t go well, so I was forced to come back and work on it.”
He tried extra hard to make sure the same problem didn’t occur with the PS3 follow up. “When it came to MGS4, I said OK this time for sure I’m not getting involved so I really handed it off. Because I set two different directors working on it I was sure I wouldn’t have to get involved, but there was a difference in expectations of what I felt that Metal Gear should be.”
Kojima doesn’t seem to blame anyone, though. “It’s very hard to come up with the concept of a game and hand it off to other people, as of course they can’t see what’s in my head. They may not be able to understand the concept completely, or the messages that I want to convey and that’s where things went awry in the past as people couldn’t really understand what I wanted.” As a result, where his his ideas are involved, he’s going to stay in charge. “I decided at that point that if I was going to make a game based around these ideals that I would do it myself, which is why I keep getting involved.”
As well as Metal Gear Solid 5, he’s is currently working on new series which Kojima says is “something more on a human level“, the mysterious Project Ogre and the new Fox Engine. Regarding the last two he also had this to add, “One thing that I can say is that Project Ogre is evolving alongside the Fox Engine. The Fox Engine is at the point now where it is pretty much ready to start making a game, so rather than releasing a sample image of, say, our meeting room, what will be the next sample you see from Fox Engine will be something from Project Ogre.” Can’t wait.

Microsoft: ‘You Do Not Want’ an Xbox Smash Bros. Clone
Sony PlayStation will soon have a Smash Bros. clone, a game called PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale that lets its most famous characters beat each other up. Why? Because it was a great idea when Nintendo first let Mario, Link, Samus and the rest of its best heroes beat each other up.
Surely, Microsoft should join the fray and make their own?
No way, Phil Spencer, head of Microsoft Game Studios told me during an interview at E3.
But first, he played along and tried to brainstorm a roster with me.
"I'd go back to Voodoo Vince," he said. "Voodoo Vince was my favorite. We could have Joannna Dark fighting..."
"...Blinx The Time Sweeper? With the vacuum?" I suggested.
Spencer laughed.
"Crackdown guy?" I offered.
"You could pick some of the Tao Feng fighters and put them together?" (Or, as the website Digital Battle imagines—and as you can see atop this post—all of the fighters could be Halo's Master Chief.)
Was this a confirmation that it was in development? No. The opposite. "You do not want that game," Spencer said. "Have you played the [PlayStation] All-Stars?"
Yes, I said. Even though I was initially cynical about the game, I couldn't help but enjoy it when I recently started playing a pre-release version of it. Once you're having Kratos battling Fat Princess, you realize it's fun.
"I'm not going to take a shot at Sony first-party [game development]," Spencer said, "I think they do some great games. We're going to try to build games that actually create new opportunity on our platform. I don't really need to go and fill genres with the teams that we have. I don't compete with games that are already on my platform. Sure, all games on some level compete for a dollar bill, but for us it's really going to be to try to innovate. I haven't played the game, so I'm not saying it's not innovative, but..."
I finished his sentence. "We're not going to get an Xbox mascot fighter?"

Shigeru Miyamoto talks bringing 'The Legend of Zelda' to the Wii U (http://popwatch.ew.com/2012/06/07/e3-nintendo-shigeru-miyamoto/)
Quote
Q: We know there’s a new Mario game coming for the Wii U, New Super Mario Bros. U. Last year when the Wii U was first introduced, a standalone Zelda battle scene was created to showcase the system’s high-definition graphics. What about the Wii U intrigues you for what you could do in a Zelda game?
Miyamoto: Obviously we stared that experiment last year and used that to sort of showcase some of the HD visuals. And obviously when you look at that, you do get a positive reaction to how simply having the HD visuals in a Zelda game can really make the game look wonderful and give it sort of a high-quality feel. But one thing that’s interesting is we’re seeing how the way that tastes are broadening in video games and you have some people who prefer more casual experiences, and you have some people who prefer sort of those more in-depth experiences. Obviously, as a company that’s been making games for a very long time, we tend to be more on the deeper, longer game side of things. But really what we continue to ask ourselves as we have over the years is, “What is the most important element of Zelda if we were to try to make a Zelda game that a lot of people can play?” So we have a number of different experiments going on, and [when] we decide that we’ve found the right one of those to really help bring Zelda to a very big audience, then we’ll be happy to announce it.
Q: So you’re sort of in the R&D stage?
Miyamoto: Yeah. With the last game, Skyward Sword, that was a game where you had motion control to use your weapons and a lot of different items, and I thought that was a lot of fun, but there were some people who weren’t able to do that or didn’t like it as much and stopped playing partway through it. So we’re in the phase where we’re looking back at what’s worked very well and what has been missing and how can we evolve it further.
I hope instead of just dropping Motion controls they just add a option that lets you turn them off and just use a regular controller or what not, even though i had trouble with it in SS(then again I'm only in the first dungeon still so i'm not use to them yet) i felt it was pretty unique and gave it more of your in control of the sword and it depends on you feel.

I don't think it'll go that far though with the Wii U pad having a screen i think it'd be interesting if they made the next game have some parts or dungeons that would switch it to a top down Zelda like ALTTP that you would play on the Wii U pad screen and have a map for the TV screen till you finish that dungeon or part.

the best part of Zelda, IMO was and always is exploration. There isn't enough of that anymore, atleast not on larger scale than we're accustomed. The Twilight Princess overworld never felt like it was much bigger than the original LoZ overworld back on NES. They should make a LoZ game that is much more open (Not in the form of a Great Sea or Great Sky or whatever.), than before, the motion controls were okay, because they made it so combat in boss battles isn't as simple as *use tool to exploit weak spot* -> *attack attack attack*.

PSN. DOWN. AGAIN. >:( Just when I had some free time.
From Kotaku said:
Good old Error 8071053D is back if you try to sign into PlayStation Network from your PlayStation 3. If you try to log in to a PlayStation web site, you get a page tells you the site is down for maintenance. These outages affect North American servers.
It doesn't appear to be regularly scheduled, as PSN underwent regular maintenance on May 24, and the weekend after E3 would be kind of a bad time for that. I'm reaching out to Sony Computer Entertainment America representatives for more info on why this is happening and how long it's expected.

The original Zelda's overworld isn't so big, it just gives the feeling of being big because:
1) You have to start from the very beginning each time you die outside of the temples. 2) You can't transport early in game. 3) The world looks mystical and mysterious because you rarely ever receive any sort of advice, and when you do it's pretty poorly worded and largely useless. Also there's too much hidden stuff you could only find by a lucky mistake or reading a guide. 4) The original Zelda wasn't so linear as the later games.
And most of those are actually bad things.

Nintendo started talking seriously about the Wii U at E3 this week, and shared a big list of all the games confirmed so far for the new consoles. It's looking pretty impressive, considering there's still no word on when exactly the Wii U will launch. Come on, have a butcher's.
Nintendo's being very vague about how long the "launch window" is, whether it's weeks or months--so it seems games slated for the "holiday" window may well be arriving before those in the "launch" one. You can rely on the holiday season, barring an unforseen Santa Claus catastrophe.
Holiday:
Assassin's Creed III and Batman: Arkham City Armored
Aban Hawkins & the 1,000 Spikes
Assassin's Creed III
Batman: Arkham City Armored Edition
Ben 10: Omniverse
Chasing Aurora

Long article only took the quotes from the side talks about street fighter, Capcom and his hospital visit. The Rise and Collapse of Yoshinori Ono (http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2012-06-11-the-rise-and-collapse-of-yoshinori-ono)
Quote
"When I came to the doctor told me that my blood acidity level was on par with someone who had just finished running a marathon. He asked me: 'Ono-san, what on earth you been up to?'"
Quote
"I went home, made a demo tape of my guitar playing and sent it in. A few days later Capcom invited me to an interview for the job. On the evening following my interview, I had a call saying: 'You start next week'. These days there's a lot more process, but in 1993 it was that straightforward..."
Quote
"After I passed out, I was thinking in the hospital: there are so many people at Capcom that, over the years, have disappeared at one time or another. Suddenly, in that bed I understood what happened to them... The day after a game is finished and goes off to manufacture there are ten empty desks, their previous occupants never to be seen again."
Quote
"When Third Strike came out R&D didn't really consider sales back then. We weren't as marketing orientated as we are today. We just wanted to make the best game and wanted to please our most hardcore fans."
Quote
"Back in the arcade days you had a small neighbourhood town community playing Street Fighter together in the arcades. Then the next town had its own community. But they were isolated from one another... With Street Fighter 4 my aim was to bring these communities together with the online system. I succeeded and now I want to create the 'Order of the Street Fighter' an online community where people can meet to play fighting games."

You’ll ‘Want To Protect’ The New, Less Curvy Lara Croft (http://kotaku.com/5917400/youll-want-to-protect-the-new-less-curvy-lara-croft)
Quote
"When people play Lara, they don't really project themselves into the character," Rosenberg told me at E3 last week when I asked if it was difficult to develop for a female protagonist.
"They're more like 'I want to protect her.' There's this sort of dynamic of 'I'm going to this adventure with her and trying to protect her.'" So is she still the hero? I asked Rosenberg if we should expect to look at Lara a little bit differently than we have in the past. "She's definitely the hero but— you're kind of like her helper," he said. "When you see her have to face these challenges, you start to root for her in a way that you might not root for a male character." The new Lara Croft isn't just less battle-hardened; she's less voluptuous. Gone are her ridiculous proportions and skimpy clothing. This Lara feels more human, more real. That's intentional, Rosenberg says. "The ability to see her as a human is even more enticing to me than the more sexualized version of yesteryear," he said. "She literally goes from zero to hero... we're sort of building her up and just when she gets confident, we break her down again."
In the new Tomb Raider, Lara Croft will suffer. Her best friend will be kidnapped. She'll get taken prisoner by island scavengers. And then, Rosenberg says, those scavengers will try to rape her.
"She is literally turned into a cornered animal," Rosenberg said. "It's a huge step in her evolution: she's forced to either fight back or die."

At any rate, I can see where they're coming from by making vulnerability such a huge part of the game. They're trying to make her into a more developed character in this reboot. If you take a young, inexperienced student and throw her into the impossible situations of a typical Tomb Raider game, no ones going to buy that she'd immediately just fly in with blazing guns and death defying leaps. I'm sure that the idea is to have her overcome all of the terrible situations and, by the end of the game, watch her become the badass Lara Croft people have come to expect.

Valve's bringing back the Potato Sack bundle for no apparent reason.
Quote
Remember the Potato Sack? Back in April 2011, Valve put 13 popular indie games into a sexy bundle o' fun, gave it a stupid name and used it to launch a Portal 2 ARG that made everybody mad. I never really understood the whole "potato" angle but there's something about it that Valve must like, because the Sack Is Back - and nobody knows why.
Here's what we do know. For $20, you get 1... 2... 3... KICK IT! (Drop That Beat Like an Ugly Baby), AaaaaAAaaaAAAaaAAAAaAAAAA!!! for the Awesome, Amnesia: The Dark Descent, AudioSurf, Bit.Trip Beat, Cogs, Defense Grid: The Awakening, Killing Floor, Rush, Super Meat Boy, The Ball, The Wonderful End of the World and Toki Tori, a package of games that would cost over $77 if purchased individually. It's a pretty sweet deal, and if you already own some of them (or even all of them, if you're feeling generous) you can gift them to your friends.
If you didn't get it last time, I'd highly recommend it. The deal ends tomorrow at 6PM.

UDON announces Marvel vs. Capcom: Official Complete Works Artbook (http://www.udonentertainment.com/blog/udon/udon-proudly-presents-marvel-vs-capcom-official-complete-works/)
Quote
TORONTO, CANADA: An amazing collection nearly 20 years in the making, UDON Entertainment proudly announces the impending release of Marvel vs. Capcom: Official Complete Works! This is a brand-new art book collecting all of the official artwork, sketches, and bonus material from all of Marvel and Capcom’s video game collaborations—from 1993’s The Punisher arcade game right up to 2012’s smash-hit Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3 for the PLAYSTATION 3, PSP, and X-BOX 360 platforms!
Compiled by UDON with the help of Capcom and Marvel, this is the first time this material has ever been collected in one place — on either side of the Pacific! Weighing in at nearly 200 pages, Marvel vs. Capcom: Official Complete Works has been a labour of love for the UDON production team. Working closely with Capcom creative head Shoei Okano, UDON has dug deep through CAPCOM’s archives to find extremely rare high-resolution art and materials to put together for this project — no easy task considering no Marvel vs. Capcom art book was ever printed in Japan!
Includes stunning artworks by Akiman, Bengus, Shinkiro, Joe Madureira, Adi Granov, and more! Complementing the classic pieces are an all-new gallery of stunning Marvel vs. Capcom illustrations by comics superstars including Joe Ng, Long Vo, Chamba, Adam Warren, and Takeshi Miyazawa!
“This book means a lot to UDON,” says Publisher and Editor-in-Chief Erik Ko. “It was back 10 years ago that Joe Quesada at Marvel Comics gave UDON our first freelance job, and kick-started our creative services department. Then just a few years later, we became our own publisher, working closely with Capcom to publish original Street Fighter® comics! Being able to publish a book containing amazing work from both Marvel and Capcom is like a big ‘thank you’ from us to the folks who helped make us what we are today. Thank you Marvel, thank you Capcom!”
Marvel vs. Capcom: Official Complete Works will make its international debut at Comic-Con International: San Diego on Wednesday, July 11th, in an exclusive hardcover edition that will not be sold in stores. The hardcover will feature an exclusive wrap-around cover by UDON and Marvel vs. Capcom artist Alvin Lee and digitally painted by UDON`s Genzoman, and only 200 will be available over the course of the show.

Rumor:Okami Remaster Possibly Coming to PlayStation 3 (http://andriasang.com/con1iu/okami_remaster_maybe/?utm_source=twitterfeed&utm_medium=twitter)
Quote
We're hearing some reports about a PlayStation 3 version of Capcom's PlayStation 2 classic Okami. Titled Okami Zekkie-ban (maybe... Okami Magnificent Version), the game appears to be an HD remaster.
We're not totally sure of the source on this one, but we'll hopefully have confirmation or debunkment in a bit!
Developed by the now defunct Clover Studio, Okami was released for the PlayStation 2 in 2006 and was acclaimed for its unique art style. A Wii remake followed in 2009, with a DS spinoff/sequel in 2010.

Mike Tyson Returns to the Ring – In WWE® ’13
Renowned “Baddest Man on the Planet” to Make Flagship WWE Videogame Franchise Debut Through Exclusive Pre-Order Offer
I'm posting today to say that Friday, June 22nd will be my last day at Capcom.
Writing this is incredibly difficult. In no uncertain terms, Capcom has been a dream for me.
I have chosen a new path which will let me embrace a new dream, but to everyone that ever believed in this dream we shared together, let me say this final thanks. I will leave as I began--a Capcom fan for life, looking forward to all the great games still to come.
My brother Pete introduced me to Street Fighter II in 1991, and it was love at first sight. Even at the height of my early fan fever dreams, however, I could never have guessed that this game would take me around the world. From my first fumblings with the fireball, to battling for local arcade supremacy, and even on to competing in Japan, I still never let myself imagine I could someday meet, much less work alongside the people responsible for these games. To think back on the fact that it's been my real life for these years is hard for me to believe, even now.
Lured by news of a new project that would eventually become Street Fighter IV, I gave up a happy little life to join Capcom in 2006 with the naive hope of playing some part--any part--in waking up the world to remember something I have known in my blood since the SF2 era: fighting games are amazing. At the time I came on, fighters were few and far between, and Street Fighter had been asleep for a long time. Through the combination of some great games and an incredible community, I'm happy to think that we've hit that early target--fighting games are strong again--perhaps stronger than they've ever been before.
Based around the early success of SFIV, we were able to create a small model internally to show that the positive impact community can have on our games. From there, the insights and passion from fans across our franchises have made Capcom a far more open, engaged place than the company I knew growing up. Fan-facing events and conversations have become a top priority, and even our typically reserved producers have opened up to the joys and challenges of talking directly to their players. Even as you give us hell and ask us to do better, remember the progress we've made together and know that this company is full of great individuals who share your love for the games, and that they are always trying to chart the path to make games that are worthy of your dedication.
To everyone that's helped me along my path, I'm left only with words that seem hollow from overuse, but: Thank You.
Thank you to Ono-san, and to the now-passed Mark Beaumont, who trusted me with the game and believed in my passion from the very start.
To Niitsuma-san, who invited me on his journey to embrace the crazy heart beating inside the Versus series, and produced games that still thrill me even after thousands of hours.
To the many talented people throughout the fighting teams that gave me a literal schooling of the kind possible nowhere else in the world--I'm a proud graduate of "Capcom U" and have the scars to prove it :)
To everyone who has worked alongside me on our community teams, and to Christian Svensson who made it possible, through good times and bad, trying to fight the good fight and make sure our biggest fans had a voice at the decision-making table.
To my many other friends and colleagues at Capcom around the world, I'm proud to realize there are far too many of you to thank directly, so let me say simply "otsukare-sama desu," and I hope we will meet again.
And finally, to the FGC: In no uncertain terms, you have been my reason for everything. A game can be incredible, but it's the players and where they take it that elevate it into legend. Both as individuals and as a group, you have taught me more than I could have ever thought possible. Every hour on the road and every air mile towards my first million doesn't begin to repay the debt I feel to all of you. You are a family to me. Today, the community is strong, and growing stronger. We fight, we make mistakes, we argue, and we compete but in the end we have each other. To you, I can only say "thank you." You continue to electrify the world and show the power not just of a game, but of a living, breathing community. Strive to be your best selves, to share our magic with the next generation, and above all else, take care of each other. We are a family.

Okami PS3 Confirmed HD remaster arrives in November. (http://andriasang.com/con1j1/okami_ps3_confirmed/)
Quote
Yesterday's reports of a PS3 version of Okami have been confirmed by Famitsu (and our usual source for early Famitsu leaks).
As reported yesterday, the PS3 game is a remastered version of the original Okami. It's titled Okami Zekkie-ban, which we're translating as Okami Magnificent Version for now.
We don't know what if anything is new at present, or if the game will have any Move support added to mimic the Wii version, but we should have additional details later today.
PS3's Okami HD remaster will be released on November 1, priced ¥3,990.
Quote
Okami HD will be released as a download game over the PlayStation Network for $20. The game will be compatible with the PlayStation Move controller and will have trophy support as well.

Mega Man Anniversary News Coming in December http://www.rockmancorner.com/2012/06/anniversary-news-coming-in-december.html
Quote
Capcom's been pretty quiet in regards to Mega Man's upcoming 25th anniversary. This has left many with a growing sense of skepticism towards the company and the priorities of purported "top men." However, this may be poised to change... but not for a little while.
In a recent Ask Capcom live Q&A stream (about 30:49 in) (http://www.twitch.tv/capcomunity/b/320690439), community manager Brett Elston touched upon when fans could expect to hear Capcom's plans for the anniversary.
"I feel like December's a good time. It also gives us time to focus on Street Fighter's 25th anniversary which is in August," Elston shares. "Yeah that's right; stay out of our anniversary, Mega Man weirdos!" jokes Seth Killian.
"But yeah, we'll most likely have something to say about the anniversary in December. But as to what it is, we're still discussing that, " adds Elston. "We had a meeting not long ago... very much happening inside those walls."
If you recall, previous anniversaries had announcements (and surprises) leading up to December 17. It doesn't look like that's happening this time. Whatever Capcom's got planned, we're a good six months away from hearing about it.
Capcom's Lost Planet offshoot E.X. Troopers disappeared after its announcement last month, and was a no-show at E3. Today, Capcom restarted the marketing ahead of a stage event at Capcom Summer Jam later this month.
Joining first full resolution screenshots from the game, Capcom detailed the background story. Things begin when main character Bren Turner joins the NEVEC educational institute "Academy." Bren, a trouble maker who speaks without thinking, wants to be the top Gingira Vital Suit pilot on EDN-3rd.
Bren leaves his home town and makes its way to EDN-3rd. Upon arrival, though, his transport ship is attacked by a mysterious group of Vital Suits.
Bren and his instructor, Walter, take control of the Gingira VS and face off against the attackers. Although emerging victorious, Bren and crew are forced into the EDN-3rd atmosphere. Bren and Walter escape in an escape pod and land on the EDN-3rd surface.
We should be hearing more about E.X. Troopers shortly, as the game will appear at Capcom Summer Jam on June 30 as part of stage event. May'n will perform the game's theme song Mr. Super Future Star live.
http://andriasang.com/con1jm/ex_troopers_update/
Quote
Capcom shared screens and details today for four characters from EX Troopers, the Lost Plant spinoff that's coming to PS3 and 3DS later his year.
Look below for the character profiles. You'll also find additional details in this story.
TeeKee A girl who was born on EDN-3rd. In addition to being a snow pirate, she also has genius linguistic skills. She also gives her all during battle.
Chris He not only pilots a Vital Suit, but is also a leader of his organization. He always attains high rank on missions, and is particularly confident with his firing ability. He considers main character Bren a rival.
Julie The groups mood maker, but she's extremely cool to things she doesn't express interest in. She's a mechanic who has abundant knowledge and a love of Vitality Suits.
Luan He joined the EDN-3rd forces before Bren and is his superior. He's usually calm and quiet, but when it comes to something that he knows about, like his special knowledge of EDN-3rd, he'll talk up a storm.

Crytek estimates Wii U is 'minimum as powerful as Xbox 360' Yerli doesn't understand public power concerns
"That's according to Crytek CEO Cevat Yerli, who revealed in a CVG interview that a "respected developer" is working on a CryEngine 3 title for the Nintendo platform.
"My opinion of the Wii U is very high," he said. "It's just that we didn't have a business case unfortunately that justifies us making a game for it.
"It doesn't mean that CryEngine 3 doesn't run on Wii U - it actually runs beautifully. In fact, there actually is a game in development from a respected developer that we will be announcing. I've seen the game running and it looks really great."
Yerli estimated that the Wii U hardware is "minimum on par with the current generation."
"From my perspective I do not understand the public's concerns that the Wii U is weaker than PS3 and 360," he said. "That I cannot see. From my perspective the Wii U is minimum as powerful as Xbox 360."

Capcom Commemorates Mega Man Anniversary With 10 Disc "E-Can" Soundtrack (http://andriasang.com/con1kz/mega_man_soundtrack/)
Quote
Capcom is readying the ultimate Mega Man soundtrack to commemorate the series' 25th anniversary. Set for release exclusively through e-Capcom, the "Rock-can Sound E Can" soundtrack set includes 10 discs and a booklet, all in an original steal case designed to look like a Mega Man powerup.
The ten discs include all the numbered Mega Man games, from the original through Mega Man 10. The first six games include both the Famicom and PlayStation versions. The seventh is the Super Nintendo version. The eighth is the PlayStation version. The ninth and tenth are the Xbox Live Arcade versions.
The soundtrack will be available on September 19, priced ¥14,700.
New Nintendo Direct later http://andriasang.com/con1kt/nintendo_direct/ Motomu Toriyama hints at a new Final Fantasy XIII in Ultimania Omega (http://www.novacrystallis.com/?p=3027)
Quote
The Final Fantasy XIII-2 Ultimania Omega has made it out into the wild, and with that comes the usual bits of information contained within.
In addition to a collection of artworks from the game, including rough character sketches of Lightning, Hope, Serah and Caius by Tetsuya Nomura, the guide also features a brief interview with staff members Yoshinori Kitase and Motomu Toriyama.
The most interesting bits come from questions regarding the recent Lightning episode DLC, which includes perhaps a bit of insight into Toriyama’s next project. “Like Lightning advancing one step forward in the secret event, I think we want to take a step forward to advance our own project. From now on, I’d be happy if you could anticipate it.”
Does this mean Final Fantasy XIII-3 is truly in the works? Toriyama did recently mention he would be working on a new project soon after XIII-2′s completion… and with XIII-2 not exactly “concluded” I suppose we’ll find out in due time.
When will it end.

I must be one of the few people who liked XIII the battles seemed fine to me sure no towns sucks but that didn't bother me much considering i don't like long town parts in other RPGS i found the story to be interesting only thing i didn't like was that i grinded for 12 hours before the first fight with the highlight-> Pope guy to the point where i couldn't use anymore crystals points and my Lightning did massive damage that using her ediolen actually reduced the damage she did by a lot and then right after i beat the boss it was like i was under-leveled really annoyed me well that and everything about Hope and the best character being Written as a joke character.
Only played the demo of XIII-2 so no opinion on that one beside the fact i don't like Noel.

I didn't like 13 that much, but I really liked using characters like Snow and Saze. With 13-2 I actually got into it expecting to hate Noel and Serah, but ended up enjoying it so far. Doesn't hurt Noel actually looks pretty cool donned with that Assassin's Creed Ezio outfit and the combat is pretty fun to boot, so I'm looking forward to a sequel.

Super Smash Bros. 3DS And Wii U Being Developed By Tales, Soulcalibur, Tekken Staff (http://www.siliconera.com/2012/06/21/super-smash-bros-3ds-and-wii-u-being-developed-by-tales-soulcalibur-tekken-staff/)
Quote
Nintendo have published a message from the designers of the new Super Smash Bros. games for the Nintendo 3DS and Wii U. As previously reported, the game is being developed by Namco Bandai in collaboration with Smash Bros. co-creator, Masahiro Sakurai.
Sakurai will be directing the game as always, and overseeing the project. His message follows.
Sakurai’s message:
Hello, I’m Masahiro Sakurai, the director of the Super Smash Bros. series.
It’s my personal belief that the only time a creative product really resonates is in that first moment when it’s actually in front of you.
With that said, I’ve realised that if we keep the new Super Smash Bros. title’s development structure secret, it’ll only create more and more speculation, and I won’t be able to develop the game with any freedom. That’s why I’ve decided to announce this news right now, even though it’s still very early on.
I would love to provide more information, but for now, I’m going to stay quiet until I have something solid to show you.
The project has just gotten started. Bear in mind that not only are we developing two titles simultaneously, but we announced the project before we even started actual development, so I’m afraid we will likely have to keep you waiting for quite a while. Please be patient.
Currently, the prototype prepared by NAMCO BANDAI Games and NAMCO BANDAI Studio’s special team looks pretty good, and it’s working great. In order to take advantage of the fact that there will be versions for two different systems, and to maximise and offer fun new gameplay elements, the entire team is going to work hard together. Thank you.
Super Smash Bros. 3DS And Wii U Being Developed By Tales, Soulcalibur, Tekken Staff
And now, the second message, which is from Masaya Kobayashi of Namco Bandai games, who are developing the new Smash Bros. game.
Kobayashi’s message:
Hello, everyone. I’m Masaya Kobayashi of NAMCO BANDAI Studio. I’m so honored to be able to join the Super Smash Bros. team – that globally popular series of which Japan is particularly proud – and to work alongside Mr. Sakurai.
In order to make Mr. Sakurai proud, we will take on this project with NAMCO BANDAI’s best staff! Yoshito Higuchi, the producer and the director of the “Tales” series, Tetsuya Akatsuka, producer and director of “Mobile Suit Gundam: Extreme Vs.,” the art director/sound director of the “SoulCalibur” series, the main development team staff from the “TEKKEN” series…and that’s just for starters.
All the top creators from NAMCO BANDAI are gathered here to create a never-before-seen dream team for this project.
We will fully utilise our experience and knowledge in action/fighting game development, technical capability, and organisational strength, and we hereby promise you that we will develop the best and most powerful “Super Smash Bros.” titles ever! Don’t miss them!
Does this mean TxSF is getting pushed back?

EA is gifting a game because of some origin anniversary shit. Of course nobody has an Origin account (Why would you do that?) so this info is useless. Games you can pick one from: Battlefield Bad Company 2 - Spore - Dragon Age: Origins.

Burnout Revenge (4?) was the shit. I must have played that game for about 100 hours, easily. Paradise (5?) was also pretty good, but I lost interest pretty fast. That might just be my hangup, though; open world car games just don't do it for me. Same thing happened with Midnight Club 3.

Valve Announces Pyromania, coming Wednesday June 27! (http://www.teamfortress.com/pyromania/doomsday/) (http://www.teamfortress.com/pyromania/images/pyromania_title.gif)
Quote
You read that right (presumably): the long-awaited final Meet the Team short, Meet the Pyro, is dropping in less than three days, and we decided to assemble a massive update to celebrate it.
That only left the issue of what to call the update. Luckily, at the very moment we were thinking about it, someone turned on the radio. Guess what song was on? That's right: 'Safety Dance'.
"That's a pretty catchy song," we said. "Who sings that?" Well, we don't want to upset you, so we won't type it here, but suffice it to say the band that wrote 'Safety Dance' has the most unthinkably offensive name we've ever heard.
Then 'Rock of Ages' came on, off Def Leppard's album Pyromania, so we turned off the radio because it wasn't helping. Suddenly, no thanks at all to music, we came up with the name on our own: The Pyromania Update.
Day One of Pyromania reveals Doomsday, a new map with a brand new game mode that lets you relive one of the darkest days in TF history. It's all pretty heartwrenching, until you discover you'll get achievements, which are also detailed in today's update.
Keep your eyes open, folks. We'll be announcing a bunch of new stuff this week, right up until the premiere of Meet the Pyro this Wednesday.

Today, Ubisoft announced that Far Cry 3 will be released on November 29 in EMEA and on December 4 in the U.S. Far Cry 3 will be available for the Xbox 360 video game and entertainment system from Microsoft, the Sony PlayStation 3 computer entertainment system and Windows PC.
In Far Cry 3, players step into the shoes of Jason Brody, a man alone at the edge of the world, stranded on a mysterious tropical island. In this savage paradise where lawlessness and violence are the only sure thing, players dictate how the story unfolds, from the battles they choose to fight to the allies or enemies they make along the way. As Jason Brody, players will slash, sneak, detonate and shoot their way across the island in a world that has lost all sense of right and wrong.
“We’re taking more time to create the best possible gameplay experience,” said Dan Hay, producer at Ubisoft. “Far Cry 3 is a huge offering and we want every element of this insane, action-packed adventure to be of the highest possible quality for the players.”

MINNEAPOLIS, June 25, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Get ready for classic arcade video game action with a whole new modern look and feel as Activision Publishing Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Activision Blizzard Inc., (Nasdaq: ATVI) and Disney Interactive today announced a collaboration to produce and distribute a Wreck-It Ralph™ video game. As a story extension to the highly anticipated upcoming blockbuster film of the same name from Walt Disney Animation Studios, the Wreck-It Ralph video game is set to inspire a whole new generation of young gamers as a classic, arcade-style side scroller featuring Ralph — the misunderstood villain of his own arcade game who sets out to prove he can be a hero too. Debuting this fall tied to the movie release, Wreck-It Ralph will bring all the fun from the big screen right into the living room for the Wii™ system from Nintendo, and the Nintendo 3DS™ and Nintendo DS™ hand-held systems.
"Wreck-It Ralph, as a brand entity, is perfectly suited for video game stardom," said David Oxford, Executive Vice President, Activision Publishing. "With the fantastic characters and creative atmosphere envisioned by Walt Disney Animation Studios, we know fans are going to love seeing their newfound favorite characters embark on an all-new side scrolling adventure."
From the mind of Director Rich Moore ("The Simpsons," "Futurama"), the film chronicles the journey of Ralph, the bad guy in an arcade game who sets out to prove he can be the hero after all. However Ralph mistakenly reverts to his clumsy nature and "wrecks" everything once again, unleashing a deadly enemy threat onto his video game neighbors. The movie hits theaters on November 2, 2012 and features an all-star voice cast, including John C. Reilly, Sarah Silverman, Jack McBrayer and Jane Lynch.
The game picks up where the movie leaves off as Ralph partners with Fix-It Felix [minor spoiler] and sets out to save their friends and home from a huge Cy-Bug invasion. Pounding through all-new levels in the "Wreck-It Ralph" universe, like Sugar Rush, Hero's Duty, and Fix-It Felix, Jr., players will have to use Ralph's destructive strength to beat by the Cy-Bugs, while switching back to Felix to repair the damage. With story campaign and two-player co-op on the Wii platform, players can switch between Ralph and Felix to solve action-packed puzzles and collect "Hero Medals".
For more information, please visit www.activision.com. For any questions on the upcoming feature film, please visit www.disneyanimation.com. This game is not yet rated by the ESRB.
Activsion would have spoilers for the movie in the press release. TLDR: -Arcade-style side scroller featuring Ralph (and Felix in Wii version) -Wii/DS/3DS (no WiiU) -Co-op in Wii version -Takes place after the movie

At best, this pretty much means Pyro now has a way to knock back targets from farther away which I can see being very effective in certain situations(like sending that guy picking up health below the control point in Nucleus to his death), but Pyro is best played up close ambushing enemies and he has his airblast for that. Though, being able to ignite nearby enemies as well makes it good as an annoyance for groups in control points.
Looking again, I think Soldier got a good one too, being able to reliably one shot a lot of classes/Sentries if he uses the multiple rockets right. Just don't use it against Pyros that have spotted you. 3 Mini crit rockets going toward you isn't fun.

Yea, I don't think the work required for temporary super speed is worth playing as a scout that can't jump OR run very fast. Never mind that you actually have to hit with the weapon to build the gauge.

Yeah, it's more of an investment than the Eyelander, doesn't seem all that worth it. The Cleaner's Carbine is meant to finish off clearly damaged enemies, but getting in range is a bitch. The idea is that if you can finish off an enemy with it you can kill nearby enemies with it quickly in rapid succession, like a killstreak. It's decent in theory but a lower clip size kind of kills that concept too though.
My personal favorite probably is the Beggar's Bazooka, the soldier's really been in need of more offensive tools so this fits the bill, but NO AMMO REFILL!? ARRRRRRRGH! im disappointed in not getting a new shovel.

Technically, Kenyan speed could grant you the tactical advantage on maps with plenty o' open space like Harvest. So yeah, scrapping the new scattergun from the get-go seems a little unfair, at least until people test it extensively to determine it's true potential.

I think No ammo refill is only on Engineer dispensers which means you may still get them from ammo boxes and dropped weapons still.

Jumping will stop your kenyan speed and jumping is kinda important for a Scout. Not to mention it'll be hard to actually get to that speed since you have to fight at normal speed and won't have the capability to hit and run. It's harder when you consider the fact that Scouts aren't very durable in the first place.

Bioware goes "Don't like our endings? Fuck you, eat Game Over."

The "game over" is logical though.

Choosing to neither destroy nor pacify the reapers in any way means the war will continue. It's been stated quite a few times that the reapers have you both outnumbered and outgunned, so extinction would be a certainty. I thought the time capsule acting like the protheans' beacon was a nice touch though.

Square Enix CEO Yoichi Wada gave today a specific condition on when we'll get a remake of Final Fantasy VII.
During the Q&A session of the company's annual shareholder's briefing (transcribed here), Wada was asked the expected question about the much wanted remake. His response was something to the effect of, we'll make a Final Fantasy VII remake once we've made a Final Fantasy game that exceeds the quality of FFVII.
If you get the feeling that this statement belittles Square Enix's current development prowess, you're pretty much spot on. Wada admitted that at present, the company is not making Final Fantasy games that exceed the quality of FFVII. If they were to release a 7 remake right now, the FF franchise would be done with, he said.
While the staff would happily make an FFVII remake, this is something that if they decided to do, they'd have to give it their full effort.
Maybe if they released Vs XIII.

Both of them exceeded the quality of VII. The difference is that VI pioneered the system that FF would use for years after it was made.
EDIT: I have a theory why people are going nuts over a FFVII remake. The kids who claimed they were diehard FFVII fans after KH came out went back and played FFVII after some years on a emulator. After realizing the actual game wasn't all that it was cracked up to be they started going bananas over the idea of a remake so they can see EMO TEENAGERS AND GIANT SWORDS IN HD.
I doubt the tech demo had anything to do with the hype really.

I forgot who it was but someone here on MFG was very unhappy that Pedro, a april fools character rumored to be in UMK3 /MK Trilogy many many years ago was not part of the mk fan art tribute i organized last year.
Well now he is
(http://th03.deviantart.net/fs71/PRE/i/2012/179/3/0/mortal_kombat___pedro___by_edmoffatt-d555hco.png) Whoever it was wo wanted Pedro seriously in a fan art project, i hope you can die as a happy man now
Background Infos about "Pedro"
(http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20110404171460/mk/images/2/2e/Pedro.jpg) Pedro: A Stryker palette-swap, Pedro was rumored to be in Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3, and was said to be a Mexican fighter who would fart fire as an attack, but it was later proven to be an April Fool's Joke from video game magazines. Ironically, the "Fire Fart" idea would later be given to Bo' Rai Cho as a Fatality.

Wasn't that IV? I haven't played it in a long while so I don't remember exactly but it was the first with the active time battle system. But VI is better!
Yes it did deserve a merge but wouldn't a merge to the fan art thread make more sense? I mean, I dunno what it's doing here, besides being related to video games. :S

I'm not referring to the ATB as much as I'm talking about the magicite system. It was utilized in one way or the other for years, the materia system, junction system, weapon-bonding (whatever you called it in FFIX, it's also present in FFT and it's sequels.) until they finally came out with the sphere grid in FFX, which people still don't really like as much.
It was also the first FF to really do away with the traditional job system and assign jobs based on the character's personality and their gimmicks, which still goes on to this day.

(http://cdn.steampowered.com/v/gfx/apps/212220/header_292x136.jpg?t=1340920203) Guild Wars 2 Launch Date announced: August 28th, 2012 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t-CB0hheQRg http://www.arena.net/blog/announcing-the-guild-wars-2-launch-date
Quote
Earlier this year I told you that 2012 would be the Year of the Dragon, and that the next few betas would help us nail down our actual launch date. Well, after the results of our latest stress test, I’m happy to announce that we’re ready to nail down that date.
Guild Wars 2 will officially launch on Tuesday, August 28th.
This is an incredibly momentous day for the studio and for me personally. This journey began in 2007 when we first announced that we were beginning work on Guild Wars 2 and that you wouldn’t be hearing from us for a while. Then in 2010 we unveiled our manifesto for Guild Wars 2: a living breathing online world that challenges convention, that’s designed for fun instead of grind, and that brings social interaction to a new level in an online world.
Through all the long hours and hard decisions, we were bolstered by the knowledge that we were not in this alone. All along you’ve been there for us, cheering us on, supporting us when we needed it, testing early versions of the game, and above all, giving us your honest feedback every step of the way. Guild Wars 2 is a better game for all of the work that our community has put in.
Now that we’re just two months away from launch, we’ll spend our remaining time optimizing, polishing, and balancing the game, to ensure that we provide you with the best launch-day experience we possibly can.
To this end, I’m excited to announce that our next and final Beta Weekend Event is planned for July 20-22.
These are exciting times; we’re on the cusp of a new era in online roleplaying games, and we’re glad you’re on this journey with us.
Wait, theirs a DFO coming to XBLA as well? Should be interesting...
Yeah but Xbox one doesn't look as good the sprites are filtered so it looks ugly and it's lacking classes and it's gonna have a lot of dlc i think, i suggest the online version if you wanna play unless there is no server for your country.
That's not a Tenkaichi at all, that's Zenkai, a online game in battle royale mode 4v4, a very different system (you can cooperate by grabbing people so someone else can bash their head in, or you can just hide to survive). Only for Japanese arcade so far.

Also since we're talking about what Felicia Day has been in, she has appeared in a bunch of Whedon stuff (in Buffy as one of the three non-annoying potential slayers, Penny in Dr. Horrible, and Mag in Dollhouse). I think she's cool.

Quote
When Nintendo Power asked about the difficulties in making a new Smash Bros. considering the amount of content included in previous games, Sakurai said:
“It isn’t a matter of ‘if the next game has 50 characters, that’ll be enough.’ There is a certain charm to games that have huge casts of playable characters, but they tend to have issues with game balance and it becomes very difficult to fine-tune each character and have them all feel distinctive…. In terms of quantity, we’ve probably already reached the limit of what’s feasible. I think a change of direction may be what’s needed.”

Microsoft doesn't appear to be too concerned by Sony's big acquisition today
Sony made a huge splash in the games business today, picking up cloud gaming firm Gaikai for a cool $380 million. Rival Microsoft isn't sitting idly by, however. When GamesIndustry International asked for reaction to the Sony news, a spokesperson noted that the cloud will continue to be hugely important for Microsoft.
"The cloud has been a key component of our strategy and a big area of investment with Xbox for many years. Through Xbox LIVE we're serving up gaming and entertainment in the cloud to more than 40 million people," a spokesperson remarked.
Adventure Time (DS, 3DS) will be like Zelda 2 (http://nintendoeverything.com/93086/first-adventure-time-hey-ice-king-why%e2%80%99d-you-steal-our-garbage-screenshots/?pid=28778)
Quote
According to WayForward, the Adventure Time 3DS/DS project will contain adventure gameplay. The studio considered making it a puzzle-platformer or brawler, but thought that it wouldn’t be true to the show’s title.
WayForward designer Matt Bozon said the team “decided that something like Zelda 2: The Adventure of Link was the common ground”. He added:
“Because of this our top-view areas focus on quests and exploration, and the side view combines combat with platforming.”

If that looks a little different from the 3DS version of Mighty Switch Force, it’s because Mighty Switch Force HD has redrawn sprites and WayForward are brainstorming new features for it as well. Here’s a comparison of the sprites from the 3DS (left) and Wii U (right) versions:

Didn't Fox's last a fair bit longer? Personally I think that was my least favourite attack to have used against me, it seemed so unbalanced since it was invincible, it was huge, and it could kill you by; running over you, flying up and knocking you off the screen, shoot you, or spinning.
At least the characters themselves felt very different from one another, especially Wolf, I wouldnt see why all the characters in that image wouldn't be in at this point though. If the picture included new, or Namco characters then I think it would be more surprising.

Fox and Falco's lasted about the same. Difference was that Falco's was slower on the ground but could fly higher.
Wolf's had Fox's ground speed and Falco's flight duration but less time to be in the landmaster.

EA's Labels president also tells us that NPD's monthly reports are "totally irrelevant" Electronic Arts www.ea.com
Electronic Arts is one of the publishers in this industry that is at the forefront of the digital transition. The company recently had its first year of digital revenues over one billion dollars, and now EA is expecting that number to jump closer to $2 billion (guidance of $1.7 billion in digital revenues this year). For EA Labels boss Frank Gibeau, the business is clearly at a tipping point. He told GamesIndustry International recently that EA clearly will be 100 percent digital in the near future.

This version of Final Fantasy VII has a few modern features like achievements, 36 of them for hardcore fans to collect. Casual players can use the character builder feature to instantly increase your HP, MP, and Gil to the maximum. Final Fantasy VII also supports cloud saves so you can resume your game from any Internet connected PC.

DRAGON BALL Z FOR KINECT™ to feature exclusive playable character and European anime episode
July 5, 2012
NAMCO BANDAI Games Europe announces ‘Bardock Episode’ anime content and first ever playable Bardock Super Saiyan coming to Kinect™ on October 5th
In a blizzard of unbeatable Bardock brilliance, NAMCO BANDAI Games Europe today announced that Dragon Ball Z For Kinect™ will feature a double dose of thrilling exclusive content. The game will include the “Episode of Bardock”, an episode of the anime that has never previously been available in Europe. Dragon Ball Z For Kinect will also feature Bardock Super Saiyan as a playable character for the first time ever in the history of Dragon Ball video games.
Coming to Xbox 360® on October 5th, Dragon Ball Z For Kinect features all the classic action and intensity of the Dragon Ball Z universe, but with the unprecedented sense of immersion that only Kinect can deliver. With their very own fists, players will be able to unleash over 100 moves on their enemies, including the legendary Kamehameha, as they battle their way to victory in this ultimate evolution of the unstoppable franchise.
Developed by Spike Chunsoft Co. Ltd, Dragon Ball Z For Kinect is loaded with epic battles, famous attacks, and over 50 iconic characters authentically recreated from the original manga series. Dragon Ball Z For Kinect lets players unleash the full might of their inner Super Saiyan with no controller in the way.

With ‘Story Mode’ and ‘Score Attack’ modes to choose from, players will experience the legendary story, battles and events of the Dragon Ball universe from a first-person perspective for the first time ever. The game’s dramatic fights use anime-style camerawork, with success depending on the player accurately recreating their character’s moves and attacks from key moments in the anime. The combination of CG cut scenes and unique controls lets players experience giant boss battles like never before, while the ‘Score Attack’ mode pits opponents against each other in ferocious 1-on-1 battles to decide the ultimate victor.
Dragon Ball Z for Kinect will blast its way into Europe on October 5th, 2012.

Without these HD collections, and assuming you own a Plasma/LCD/LED Monitor - How do you play the PS2 games without being absolutely disgusted by the smudgy graphics?
I mean, sure, you can keep playing this in your PS2 ... but for the rest of us who didn't own it originally (it sold out around here) and have a new gen console with native HD support, this is a good budget title (assuming it's not out for full $60)

If there’s even an ounce of pirate in you, you need to brace yourself for some major seven seas adventuring as NAMCO BANDAI Games Europe announces the release date of ONE PIECE: PIRATE WARRIORS for PlayStation®3. Developed by Omega Force / TECMO KOEI GAMES CO., LTD., the latest game based on the best-selling manga of all time is heading to Europe in three equally piratical editions – standard retail, collector’s edition and digital – with all three unleashing their heavy swell of mayhem and adventure in EMEA and Australasia this coming September 21st, 2012.

Miyamoto Wants To See Metroid And Star Fox On The Wii U The Most (http://www.ign.com/articles/2012/07/06/miyamoto-discusses-metroid-on-wii-u)
Quote
We all want to see one Nintendo franchise or another come to Wii U. Some of us eagerly anticipate the next Zelda, or want to see a true 3D Mario along the lines of Mario Galaxy. Yet if there's one person whose opinion matters more than all others, it's Shigeru Miyamoto's.
As the co-manager of Nintendo's internal development teams and one of the most senior executives at the company, the legendary designer surely has a bit more influence than just about anyone else in the world. When I recently chatted with Miyamoto, I asked him what he would want to see on Wii U.
With the caveat that he's not necessarily talking about games in active development, and that the process of evaluating which characters and games are appropriate for a system or mechanic is always ongoing, Miyamoto indicated two franchises have his attention. The first? Metroid.
"With Metroid it's very easy to imagine some interesting implementation for Wii U," Miyamoto mentioned. "I think that having another screen with the gyro built in really gives you a lot of interesting opportunities for development, and we can bring a lot of our games to life in a completely unique way with that."
"I feel like the possibilities of the GamePad for Metroid could be really fantastic," Miyamoto told me at a different point in our conversation. "There's certainly a lot that you could do there for that game."
Yet the one that Miyamoto really wants to see? The Nintendo executive didn't give any details, but noted that "personally" the franchise he wants most on Wii U is Star Fox. Here's hoping one day Miyamoto's wish - alongside millions of Nintendo fans - is realized on the HD system.

"Why is that not nice?" Molyneux retorted animatedly. "We can't be ashamed for asking people to spend money. We can't be ashamed of that. As a designer that is proof that I have done something meaningful. I'm not saying that you have to buy these chisels - and I don't expect the diamond chisel to ever be purchased. If it is I want to meet that person. They may be an investor or something!" "I'm not doing this to purely monetize," Molyneux carried on, "but I don't mind monetization. I don't think it's anything to be ashamed of."

Xbox Next /Xbox 720 / Durango Patent? SCALABLE MULTIMEDIA COMPUTER SYSTEM ARCHITECTURE WITH QOS GUARANTEES (http://appft1.uspto.gov/netacgi/nph-Parser?Sect1=PTO2&Sect2=HITOFF&p=1&u=%2Fnetahtml%2FPTO%2Fsearch-bool.html&r=33&f=G&l=50&co1=AND&d=PG01&s1=nintendo&OS=nintendo&RS=nintendo)
Quote
Versions of a multimedia computer system architecture are described which satisfy quality of service (QoS) guarantees for multimedia applications such as game applications while allowing platform resources, hardware resources in particular, to scale up or down over time. Computing resources of the computer system are partitioned into a platform partition and an application partition, each including its own central processing unit (CPU) and, optionally, graphics processing unit (GPU). To enhance scalability of resources up or down, the platform partition includes one or more hardware resources which are only accessible by the multimedia application via a software interface. Additionally, outside the partitions may be other resources shared by the partitions or which provide general purpose computing resources.
BACKGROUND
[0001] A multimedia software application executing on a multimedia computer system often is provided certain quality of service (QoS) guarantees with respect to allocation of computing resources such as hardware, firmware or software components of the computer system. This is especially true for games. For example, there may be an assigned memory allocation size available to every game. A multimedia computer system may also guarantee that previous versions of an application such as a game will still run, so the QoS guarantees can exist for quite a number of years.
[0002] A multimedia computer system, particularly a gaming console, now typically provides common functions as part of the services of its platform. Examples of platforms are XBOX.RTM., the Sony Playstation 3.RTM., or Nintendo Wii.RTM.. Common functions are services which many types of games or other applications use or with which they are compatible. Some examples of common platform functions are display plane blending, display output recording, audio codec encoding, user device music decode and mixing, automatic camera based player identification, etc. Additionally, platform services may include functions which are independent of, but which run concurrently with, the multimedia application. As many games and other multimedia applications are interactive over the Internet now, the platform services may process the Internet protocol messages, provide online chat, friend invites, e-mail and support for social networking services. Both the platform and the application may use common resources for performing their respective functions.
[0003] As the forms of network connectivity supporting interactive gaming and other multimedia content keep evolving and certain processing aspects of applications become standard, the platforms provide more and more services over time for various applications while still being subject to the same QoS guarantees for these multimedia applications, thus increasing shared resource contention.
SUMMARY
[0004] The technology provides various embodiments of a multimedia computer system architecture satisfying quality of service (QoS) guarantees for multimedia applications while allowing platform services to scale over time. The scaling over time may permit new services or enhanced current services. Platform services may scale down over time as well.
[0005] In an embodiment of a multimedia computer system for providing consistent performance for an executing multimedia application in accordance with one or more quality of service (QoS) guarantees, the system comprises a platform partition of computing resources, an application partition of computing resources, and at least one shared resource. The platform partition comprises computing resources including a platform central processing unit (CPU) and a platform graphics processing unit (GPU). The application partition comprises computing resources including an application CPU and an application GPU. In some embodiments, the application processing units perform processing exclusive of executing instructions of a platform service application.
[0006] In some embodiments, the system further comprises a shared resource accessible by a platform partition resource and an application partition resource.
[0007] In some embodiments of the multimedia computer system, to enhance scalability of resources up or down, the platform partition includes one or more resources which perform processing for one or more platform service applications and the multimedia application but which are only accessible by the multimedia application via a software interface.
[0008] Additionally, one or more shared computing resources may comprise an additional CPU which may execute instructions for a platform service application or the multimedia software application to provide consistent performance for the multimedia application based on the one or more QoS guarantees for the multimedia application. In some embodiments, an additional CPU may execute a general purpose operating system.
[0009] Embodiments of one or more computer readable storage media having encoded thereon software which when executed by a processor causes the processor to perform a method for allocating a computing resource between a multimedia application executing concurrently with one or more platform service applications to provide consistent performance of the multimedia application based on one or more QoS guarantees are also provided.
[0010] This Summary is provided to introduce a selection of concepts in a simplified form that are further described below in the Detailed Description. This Summary is not intended to identify key features or essential features of the claimed subject matter, nor is it intended to be used as an aid in determining the scope of the claimed subject matter.

Nothing.

Post by: -Red- on July 10, 2012, 12:05:15 pm
If you had 35,000,000 dollars and won 3,000,000 dollars a month I doubt you would even care about $50,000.
With that said, ANY money can theoretically be spent in better ways. Every game you buy, every luxury you get, every object not vital to keep yourself alive is literally a waste of money. I can see what molyneux is talking about with this ridiculous DLC. If somebody wants to buy it is because he feels there's something worth there, like when you pay for stuff in a MMO (Heck, buying ANYTHING from TF2 would count).
Just remember, you can call somebody stupid for buying this retarded DLC, but then you'll have to deal with anybody being able to call you stupid for buying any kind of games or DLC content you like as well. I bet lots of anime fans from around the world had to deal with that before the anime was as widely accepted as nowadays.

Whoever buys this DLC is stupid and has more money than sense...also I don't think I'll have to be prepared for people to call me stupid just for buying games because it's on a whole different level for example me buying a game for £30 could feed a hungry poor person for a few days while $50,000 could be put towards a good soup kitchen.

Which gamer spends only $60 for his hobby?
The big difference is that someone would spend 50k in one hit, but i guess the most of us spend around 5000-20000 dollars and more in 10 years for our hobby too
20 games per year = around 1000 dollars already at least

I ain't saying he's wrong. He's right, everything we spend money on could in theory be better spent somewhere else.
I'm just saying that he's comparing the cost of a new game to a ridiculously expensive DLC.
Basically, what I just want to say is that spending money for a new game is pretty common and "normal" for people nowadays in constrast to some crazy DLC.
Yes, a gamer won't just spend $60 total. He/she is going to spend more on other games, DLC, accessories, etc. But it'll be a few years before they reach the $50,000 point.

Project Sora is No More (http://andriasang.com/con1vs/project_sora_closed/)
Quote
Kid Icarus Uprising developer Project Sora has been dissolved. Access the company's webpage, and you'll now see a message noting that the studio was closed as of June 30. The website will close on July 31.
Project Sora was formed in 2009 by Masahiro Sakurai, with investment by Nintendo, Sakurai's Sora studio, and other parties. The studio developed Kid Icarus Uprising as its first, and apparently only, game.
Sakurai is serving as director of the 3DS and Wii U entries in the Smash Bros. series, which are being developed by Namco Bandai.
Smash Bros Wii U: 'Big Priority For Namco', Tekken Team To Be Involved - Harada (http://www.nowgamer.com/news/1476943/smash_bros_wii_u_big_priority_for_namco_tekken_team_to_be_involved_harada.html)
Quote
Smash Bros is coming to Wii U courtesy of Nintendo and Namco Bandai. Tekken producer Katsuhiro Harada has revealed the scale of the project.
Smash Bros. Wii U is being co-developed by Namco Bandai, and is a "big priority for the company", Tekken producer Katsuhiro Harada can confirm.
In an interview with NowGamer, Harada explained the true scale of Namco's massive joint effort with Nintendo.
"Obviously it’s a big priority for the company," Harada explained, "so company-wide there are a lot of people involved with that particular project. Not just from Tekken but a lot of our franchises. "
Harada continued, "Although our main core staff is busy with Tekken Tag tournament 2 and trying to finish that up, I do think we’ll support the initiative in some kind of capacity."
We also asked Harada if he knew of any Namco characters who would be appearing in Smash Bros. Wii U.
Harada responded, "That question was one of the most frequently asked questions we got when we announced the project. Especially from abroad."
"The fans, rather than asking about Tales or Gundam, or some of our other franchises, the fans abroad saw Tekken as one of the key words and took off on that."
"We’re not really sure at this moment but when thinking of the playerbase who is playing Smash Bros, maybe Tekken characters is something they wouldn’t want, so I’ve been pulling back on that a bit. But I don’t know."
We'll have more on Smash Bros. Wii U as it happens.

'Batman: Arkham City' follow-up to be a Silver Age prequel (http://www.theverge.com/gaming/2012/7/11/3151222/batman-arkham-city-follow-up-to-be-a-prequel)
Quote
The yet-to-be-announced follow-up to 2011's Batman: Arkham City will be a prequel based on the Silver Age of DC's comic books from the 1950s during which the titular hero teamed up with the likes of Superman and founded the Justice League of America, Variety reports.
According to the publication, the Rocksteady Studios title will revolve around Batman's first meeting with the Joker.
Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment is also expected to reteam a number of DC characters through the title in some form, as part of a push to get audiences used to seeing the superheroes in media outside of film. The game, which WBIE declined to comment about, will likely hit during 2013, Variety (http://www.variety.com/article/VR1118056432) reports.
This comes as part of a mandate by Time Warner to monetize the superheroes through films, games, televised series', and cartoons.
WBIE published Batman: Arkham Asylum in 2009, followed by its sequel three years later. Its sequel sold 2 million units worldwide in its first week, and reached 6 million within its first month.
Metal Gear release hinted for 2012? (http://i.imgur.com/hEb7j.jpg)
Quote
Metal Gear series art director Yoji Shinkawa created a special drawing for Famitsu's big 25th anniversary feature on the franchise this week. Take a look at the cover here, courtesy of Famitsu.com.
Speaking with Enterbrain's CEO in Famitsu's feature, Shinkawa said that he decided to put Solid Snake and Cyborg Ninja on the cover because he feel they represent the MGS series.
This feature is where we first learned of MGS4's Trophy patch update. The magazine does not provide an exact release date for the patch. The upcoming budget version of MGS4, which includes the patch by default, is going to be rolled out to shops some time in August, so current speculation is that the downloadable patch will be available around that time.
One image from the feature, also shown in Famitsu.com's promotional article, seems to have a hint at a Metal Gear related release in 2012:
This timeline shows all the various release. To the far right, "2012?"
Metal Gear Rising Revengeance is due for release in 2013, so perhaps Konami has something else planned for this year.
Konami will hold the "Metal Gear 25th Anniversary Party" event at Tokyo Midtown on August 30. In addition to press, a few lucky members of the general public will be able to attend. Konami will select participants via raffle. Expect details later this week.

Metal Gear Solid 4 Best Version Adds Full Install Support No more waiting for each chapter to load! (http://andriasang.com/con1wk/mgs4_full_install/)
Quote
Trophies aren't the only surprise feature Konami is readying for Metal Gear Solid 4. The game's new PS3 the Best budget version will also feature support for full data install. This means that rather than having the game install data at the start of each chapter, which is how the game currently works, you can opt to have the game do a full install at the start of play, and have no more installations for the rest of the game.
A listing at Konami Style for the budget version mentions both the Trophy support, which we first heard of via Famitsu yesterday, and the full install support, which wasn't mentioned in Famitsu's article.
The Konami Style listing says that the Trophy functionality will be offered as a patch to current users. It does not say this about the full install support. It's possible that the listing is just being vague about the patch, so we'll have to wait for Konami to make an official announcement.
The Konami Style listing says that the updated PS3 the Best budget version will be released in early August, priced ¥3,990 MSRP.
Metal Gear 25th Anniversary Site Opens Konami formally announces late August anniversary party. (http://andriasang.com/con1wl/mg25_site/)
Quote
Konami has shifted into full Metal Gear 25th anniversary mode. The publisher opened a special site for the anniversary today. The site promises details on anniversary events and commemorative items.
Currently, the site mentions the Metal Gear 25th Anniversary Party. As detailed yesterday, this will be held at Tokyo Midtown on August 30. It's an invite-only event, but fans will be able to enter a drawing for a slot. Details on the drawing will be announced later.
The site also has links to anniversary product, available through Konami Style, and the official sites for the various Metal Gear games.
Included in the official site list is the Metal Gear Solid 4 site, which has now been updated with information about the new early August budget rerelease that adds Trophy and, as revealed earlier in the day, full data install support.
It's still not totally clear if the upcoming patch will include just the trophy support or if the data install support is included as well. Perhaps someone can ping Hideo Kojima about it?

Wait for both YS games to be on daily deal, those are awesome.
Ys Oath in Felgahana for only $5.09 until July 23rd (http://store.steampowered.com/app/207320/) Ys Origin for only $11.99 until July 23rd (http://store.steampowered.com/app/207350/)
Just in case Rednavi wasn't clear enough, the games are awesome buy 'em now. [/ysfanboy]
Malicious (PS3) coming out in the US on July 24th for $10 (http://www.siliconera.com/2012/07/11/malicious-kicks-butt-on-playstation-3-in-u-s-this-month/)
Just in case (And the usual advice people gives in this situation) WAIT until these games are either part of a daily deal or a flash deal.
I have problems right now to charge money to my paypal due to some BS between my country and paypal so I have so do everything I can to save some cents XD (I waited for Isaac's DLC to be 75% off just to save 70 cents but hey! I finally was able to use that dollar in my steam wallet :P).

It's not often we get special edition DS games, especially since the launch of the 3DS, but WayForward's Adventure Time: Hey Ice King! Why’d you steal our garbage?! will be rocking a totally math collector's version.
Here's all the stuff you'll get for your dollars:
A steelbook case made to resemble the show's Enchiridion book. A custom stylus modeled after Finn's sword. An art book and activity book. Fold-out poster detailing the Land of Ooo.

Deadpool video game to be announced during SDCC

High Moon Studios working on it.
Pre-EVO interview with KOF XIII producer Kei Yamamoto discusses missing characters and a sequel to Capcom vs. SNK 2 (http://www.snk-capcom.com/?p=7898)
Quote
S-C.com: Were there any specific characters that SNKP wanted to put in KOF XIII that didn’t make the roster for certain reasons?
Kei: I would answer “Adelheid”, “Oswald”, and “Marin”. As these characters appeared during the “Ash Saga”, I wanted to see them in “KOF XIII” but, unfortunately, we ran out of time.
S-C.com: Besides SNK fans, CAPCOM fans have also been dying for a sequel to “SNK vs CAPCOM”. Do you have any plans to make a sequel to this game?
Kei: We are sorry, but we can’t answer to this question. However, we know that this game is highly appreciated among fans, and that they’re waiting for a sequel. There are also many “SNK vs CAPCOM” fans at SNK PLAYMORE, and we also hear from people who want us to work in collaboration with other game companies as well. It is not impossible to see a sequel to “SNK vs CAPCOM” one day if fan requests keep getting bigger.
S-C.com: With KOF XIII as proof that 2-D fighters are still quite popular, is SNKP convinced that this is the path they will continue to take?
Kei: Yes, we want to keep making 2D versus fighting games. However, there’s no such project like this decided at the moment. Also, as we answered previously, we don’t want to limit ourselves to only fighting games, and would like to also experience many other game genres. I would like to tell all our fans that we will continue in the pursuit of R&D from several perspectives, in order to always keep offering games that will meet their tastes and expectations. Please stay tuned to SNK PLAYMORE and thank you for your support!

yeah but they removed most (If not all) traces of anything related to their other IPs from this. I guess this game is not "serious" enough to have Spiderman nowadays :???: Despite the movie's game itself having Stan Lee as a playable character :P
Activision was in charge of the spiderman games for PSX back then so I guess they had more freedom to include him in THPS since their games weren't based on movies. Dunno what to think about all this tho, they removed more stuff than just spiderman so whatever, remake kinda sucks. I want my skate heaven back.

The Tony Hawk hd game isn't that bad to be consider just a arcade game. They had no choice but to cut most of that stuff out because they basically combine the first and second game together, along with a little new content, while trying to maintain that Tony Hawk 1 feel and their limited memory usage. As you can see their isn't a arcade game more then 2 gb, not including dlc.
Edit: Im probably wrong about the limited memory usage shit but it just seems like their is one for arcade games.

Electronic Arts signs against the Defense Of Marriage Act. (http://www.gamespot.com/news/ea-microsoft-zynga-oppose-defense-of-marriage-act-6387867)
For those of you not in the know, the Defense of Marriage Act is an extremely disgustingly outdated bill that aims to "protect the sanctity of marriage as defined between a man and a woman" which is a politically correct way of saying "strip gay people of rights because why not."
Yes that's right people, EA of all friggin' companies does in fact have a heart (either that or wants good PR). Maybe the doomsday theorists were right after all.

Quote
Since it was released in 2009, the Final Fantasy XIII series sold 9.6 million units worldwide. While Final Fantasy XIII-2 seemed to close the saga with the Requiem of the Goddess Lightning DLC pack, Square Enix plans on continuing Lightning’s adventures.
During the Final Fantasy 25th Anniversary event, Square Enix will host a presentation about the next development for the Final Fantasy XIII project. Final Fantasy XIII’s producer, director, art director, and other staff will be there to talk about future Final Fantasy XIII plans.
Before anyone gets their hopes up for the still missing Final Fantasy Versus XIII, this presentation is for a new development in the Lightning Saga. So, unless Noctis and Lightning are going to be in something together, this particular announcement won’t be tied to Final Fantasy Versus XIII.

EA: Single player Dead Space games were too scary "So we introduced co-op" (http://www.computerandvideogames.com/359045/ea-single-player-dead-space-games-were-too-scary/)
Quote
Research conducted by EA suggested some users found the first two Dead Space games too scary.
EA Games marketing boss Laura Miele told MCV that the single player nature of the titles was largely responsible for the fright factor, hence the publisher's decision to introduce co-op gameplay in Dead Space 3. But she insisted fans of the series shouldn't be worried that the third game will drop its predecessors' scare tactics in favour of an all-out action approach.
"We were hearing feedback that they love the thriller game, but it was pretty scary, and the obvious next step was that they wanted to play with someone. So we introduced co-op into the game," Miele said.
"The horror of Dead Space is still all there. It's still true to its roots and no less scary, but people felt far more comfortable playing it with someone else than they did doing it on their own.
"Personally, I would rather go to scary movie with my husband rather than sit at home with the lights out watching one on my own. We're looking for that to reach out to consumers that perhaps were not open to Dead Space 1 and 2."
Visceral recently released a 20-minute Dead Space 3 gameplay movie showing how series protagonist Isaac and his new co-op partner Carver work together to survive the perils of a frozen planet and its deadly inhabitants.
ToeJam & Earl and its side-scrolling sequel ToeJam & Earl in Panic on Funkotron Bringing Funk Back To PlayStation 3 (http://www.siliconera.com/2012/07/20/toejam-earl-bringing-funk-back-to-playstation-3/)
Quote
Sega has been re-releasing classics like Gunstar Heroes and soon Jet Set Radio as PlayStation Network downloads. ToeJam & Earl is coming next.
Sources tell Siliconera that the two Sega Genesis games ToeJam & Earl and its side-scrolling sequel ToeJam & Earl in Panic on Funkotron are slated for re-release as part of Sega’s Vintage Collection.
ToeJam & Earl, if you never played it before, has a good sense of humor and roguelike mechanics at its core. Players have to search for ten spaceship pieces on randomly generated maps. ToeJam & Earl in Panic on Funkotron went in a different direction and has players capture earthlings who somehow got to Funkotron in jars.

What i meant with my rant was also not 3ds specific, but its my fault i should have written handheld instead. I am a bit pissed since a while that often cool sounding games are handheld exclusive. Be it Shin Megami Tensei, Persona with the remakes, Disgaea with the remakes, and now something i hoped would be a new blazblue or even better, guilty gear and instead its something well crap.
Why cant they release those remakes and handhelds exclusives also as digital downloads for the ps3 or even steam? I am sure enough people would buy them

Quote
In a post on the PlayStation Blog, Metal Gear Solid series creator, Hideo Kojima, reminisces on the games in the series thus far, and also throws out a little tease about the state of Kojima Productions’ Fox Engine, which will be used to develop their future games. Kojima writes:
Quote
The Fox Engine is nearly finished, but the only way to be sure it works is to create a game at the same time and improve the engine with our tools as we go along. Originally we were going to do this for Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance, but a lot happened along the way and instead it is being made with the engine they have at Platinum Games.
Production studios in Japan are nearly extinct, a fact that we have recognized for nearly 10 years, and although the Fox Engine is not finished we are ready to show what it can do… on August 30th in Japan to be more specific.
Kojima Productions already have multiple projects in the works that will be making use of the Fox Engine. Upcoming title, Project Ogre, which Kojima describes as a “very free” game, is running on the engine, and Kojima shared photos of the game late last year.
Additionally, Metal Gear Solid 5 is in the works as well, and that project will be using the Fox Engine, too. Finally, Enders Project, the new Zone of the Enders title in development at Kojima Productions, will likely use Fox Engine as well.
Kojima has also stated in the past that he would like to make the Fox Engine available to university students.

Six Sonic Adventure 3 domains mysteriously registered (http://www.tssznews.com/2012/07/23/four-sonic-adventure-3-domains-registered-by-someone/)
Also Hunnid-P you may know him as the fighting freak Knuckles says he'll be working on some new Knuckles Music with Sega for a new sonic project. (http://www.tssznews.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/hunnid-p.jpg)
Quote
sonicadventure3.info–have all been registered on or around April 22nd of this year by an unknown party, TSSZ has learned.
At present, all pages presently point to a default landing page, and nowhere near Sega’s own website.
In the past, Sega had a tendency to register domains for upcoming titles before a formal announcement, either in-house or via third parties, as a means to protect company IP. The way these domains were registered, however, gives plenty of cause for suspicion. This time around, the registrant is the French division of 1&1 Internet, a company primarily focused on web hosting. That is a change from the last three times a Sonic domain was registered. Domains for Sonic Generations, Sonic Free Riders, and Sonic the Hedgehog 4 all eventually fell under the management of EuroDNS, where they remain today. Consider also that, even if Sega’s French division was behind the registration of these, the arm closed its doors last month, along with numerous other subdivisions of Sega Europe.
So, the pattern here doesn’t really match Sega’s past behavior–making the jump to an actual Sonic Adventure 3 in the works very difficult. But with the domains active for over three months, one would think Sega would have caught wind of it and take action were the registrations unauthorized. We’ll keep it under Rumor for now, but don’t hold your breath. Thanks to Sawnik98 and Sonication for tipping us.
—-
UPDATE: Since this story was first published, we have found two more related domain registrations. One, sonicadventure3.fr, was spotted by tipster Bruno Guerrero via Twitter. We have also since found sonicadventure3.eu. Both domains appear managed by the same 1&1 Hosting division in France, and both appear registered around the same time as the aforementioned four. If this a hoax, it’s a very thorough one. We have contacts in France checking this out; if we hear anything more, we will pass it along.
Generations and Colors was good so maybe they have a chance of doing this right.

You guys need to have something in mind, Sonic Adventure games are about varied gameplay with different characters. One would think people learned their lesson about that after 2 releases and 2 rereleases.
I was a boss at the emerald hunting stages btw. Playing vs mode in that against me was an instant lose ^^

Most of the subgames in 1 were all pretty speedy (Big the Cat does not count), especially E102's stages. Nothing quite like speeding down corridors targeting a bunch of badniks and then releasing the lock on to see them all explode. But then when they brought that style over in 2, it lost a lot of that speediness, IMO. Same deal as the emerald hunting stages to a lesser extent (but those did feel a lot less fun in 2).
If they're gonna do varied gameplay for different characters, I think they should still emphasize speed.

Sonic Generations had the treasure hunting Knuckles stages as well, but they were actually fun. I don't see why having it in SA3 would be a problem.

But yeah that looks like it would work great; speedy platforming but with a bigger focus on exploration.

Chester is a 2D platformer with over 10 unlockable characters, a light RPG element and leveling up system, loads of unlockables, around 50 levels, and 8 "styles" that allow the player to change the look of the game at will. These styles include sketchbook, 8-bit, LCD, blueprints, and many more. They also each give a unique gameplay bonus to the player. The game also includes 4 difficulty levels so that almost anyone can beat the game or get a very challenging experience out of it.

Not only just BK, but all of Rare as well. As much as I liked Nuts & Bolts, having a proper Banjo-Threeie AND another Conker game is too good to pass up. Remember how Microsoft butchered the Xbox port of BFD with the additional censorship, especially the Great Mighty Poo?

Killer Instinct is dead, seriously, that's why a new one hasn't been made...and looking at modern fighters today (Street Fighter 4, SFxT, Tekken Tag Tournament 2) people would rather play the modern and well known titles such as those since they are popular as of this generation.
Bringing back KI would just be a waste of Rare's time. Since people wouldn't be so interested and only the true fans would be! (Yes, that is a low amount too) I mean you have every right to call me wrong but that would be your Scary/Brutal/Freakish fighting game fetish getting into gear
And wait...who cares about Banjo? Many people do man, many people

Not the point. The point was that KI's popularity wasn't as lasting as Banjo's, either the cause or effect of KI having fewer games than Banjo.

KI was really popular back then, maybe not in your country or your place but I assure you it was really popular in several places. Not that it may matter to Rare but I've seen franchises far worse getting a reboot and I wouldn't be surprised if KI has the same treatment.

Banjo-Tooie suffered immensely from use-and-forget skills. For instance, you got like five different eggs, each of which was only useful in the area you got it in and then never again. In the end, you had a heap of skills, most of which were so specific to some situation that they didn't contribute more to the jump and run gameplay than a key that would open a door at some place.

Yoshizumi on including Tales characters in next Smash Bros., more (http://nintendoeverything.com/93862/yoshizumi-on-including-tales-characters-in-next-smash-bros-more/)
Quote
Tekken producer Katsuhiro Harada isn’t going to push Masahiro Sakurai into adding any of his characters on the roster for the next Smash Bros. games. Tales series producer Makoto Yoshizumi seems to be carrying the same mentality, though Yoshito Higuchi would apparently “love” to see a character or two included.
Yoshizumi has said that getting a Tales character into the new Smash Bros. may prove to be difficult since “a character can only appear in a Smash Bros game if he already appeared on a Nintendo console.” This rule limits the selection to a few titles such as Tales of Symphonia, Tales of the Abyss, and Tales of Hearts.
Head past the break for all of Yoshizumi’s comments on Smash Bros.
KoT: Now, let’s talk about Yoshito Higuchi! (T/N: Tales of Vesperia producer)
Y: Yes, Higuchi-san! As you already know, he’s working on the next Smash Bros game. It’s a loss for us and the Tales series for the next few years.
KoT: Few years?
Y: Yes. You know, Sakurai-san is an acquaintance. He went to see me and asked “Let me borrow Higuchi-san” and I said “Ok.” *laughs*
KoT: Many fans are dying to know: now that Higuchi-san is working on the next Smash Bros game, can we expect one or several Tales characters in it?
Y: This is a difficult question! Maybe if we beg Sakurai-san, it will happen! I know Higuchi-san would love it, but the decision is Sakurai-san’s. I think it’s still too early to talk about it.
KoT: Smash Bros Melee introduced Marth and Roy from the Fire Emblem series. Those characters were very popular in Occident, and resulted in the Fire Emblem series being localized for the first time in America and Europe. I’m sure Tales characters in the next Smash Bros would be excellent advertising for the series.
Y: That’s true. But we need to keep in mind that a character can only appear in a Smash Bros game if he already appeared on a Nintendo console. This is one of the conditions, and many Tales characters do not fulfill it. Of course, some do, like characters from Tales of Symphonia or Tales of the Abyss.
KoT (Kusuru): Or Tales of Hearts. I love Tales of Hearts *laughs*
Y: You know, Tales of Hearts was one of Baba-san’s important and recent projects, before Graces and Xillia. I think we can tell how much he influenced the game. He always had specific tastes about the costumes, especially for healers, he loves those brother-sister relationships, and he enjoys having a female character who looks human but isn’t.
KoT: Since Higuchi-san left to work on Smash Bros, I take it he took some Tales developers with him?
Y: Yes, of course. But not only developers from the Tales series. He took some people from other teams with him too, especially from the Tekken development team.
Good thing a lot of Tales characters appeared in this game then or Just put Yuri in if your adding Tales characters he counts now thanks to PXZ. (http://www.tales-central.com/sites/default/files/pictures/pictures2/naridun3_front_0.jpg)

Here's the first screen shot of the new PoP Game:
It was originally posted on the official Prince of Persia forums.
Please note that POP Zero 2 is written on the bottom... It is align with everything that we know about the game.
1) its a reboot. original PoP Zero was going to be modern day and was code named PoP Zero. Hence this reboot is going to be PoP Zero 2. 2) POP 2008's sequel assets were used in making POP TFS Wii. 3) God of War - lite 4) Ubi was working on a new IP for next gend that would have been like God of War meets Shadow of the Colossus. I think they have decided to make it the POP 2 remake.

Yeah, there aren't many bugs in the game but the ones that are there are brutal. I ran into one during a co-op run where Roxy's stage just stopped scrolling at one point and wouldn't let us finish. I ended up having to beat the level solo just so we could advance.

Good news: Silent Hill HD Collection has been patched following reports of frankly grotesque problems with the unfinished code.
Bad news: This patch will only be available to PlayStation 3 customers. If you bought the Xbox 360 version, sorry -- you have officially bought a broken game that Konami won't be fixing.
"Plans for an Xbox 360 title update have been cancelled due to technical issues and resources," announced the publisher. "Understanding the issues some users are experiencing, Konami issued a title update for Silent Hill HD Collection (PS3), which fixed frame rate issues as well as audio-synching and other reported issues. Konami apologizes to any players who are continuing to experience these issues on the Xbox 360 sku. Silent Hill HD Collection is available at retail stores nationwide."

Masahiro Sakurai, the man behind the Super Smash Bros. franchise, has teased what fans can expect from the next entry in the series.
Up until now very little has been revealed about the as-yet-untitled Smash Bros. game planned for Nintendo's Wii U and 3DS, aside from the fact it's being developed by Namco.
We've already seen how a number of games plan to integrate the Wii U's GamePad, but we've yet to hear how the fourth instalment of the all-star brawl 'em up will do the same. While Sakurai wasn't ready to reveal everything, he explained to IGN that the company was looking into ways that worked specifically with Wii U's new hardware, explaining "The GameCube controller is not the only way to control Smash Bros., so we will look into ways that fits the Wii U."
Previous entries in the series have offered a fairly robust selection of control schemes, so it makes sense the next game will do the same. But while Sakurai admits the company needs to adapt to incorporate new controller options, he's adamant the rest of the game doesn't need to change to remain fresh. Having had three very successful entries in the franchise, the Project Sora boss feels the series has found its target audience, meaning introducing gimmicks would hinder rather than help the brand.
"The game system itself is complete, so we don’t want to make it 3D or introduce complicated controls just for the sake of it," he said. "However, I am thinking of ways we can introduce a slightly different, fun experience all the while keeping the usual frantic game play."
Quite what this different experience may be is unclear, though we've previously reported rumblings about Tekken cameos, which would certainly shake things up. The chances of this actually coming to pass, though, seem quite remote, especially with Sakurai being unconvinced by the idea.
"I think Snake and Sonic joining were fantastic. It made many fans happy, and it broadened the Smash Bros arena," he said. "However, introducing more non-Nintendo characters willy-nilly will lose the focus of the game, so I also recognise the need to narrow it down."
Super Smash Bros. 4 is in development for Wii U and 3DS, with a release expected sometime in 2013.
Sony Having Difficult Time Getting Third Party Support For The PS Vita (http://thesilentchief.com/2012/08/08/sony-having-difficult-time-getting-third-party-support-for-the-ps-vita/)
Quote
As we approach the first anniversary of the PS Vita’s Japanese debut, worldwide sales of Sony’s flashy new portable system can be described as slow but steady.
Despite an initial offering of what has been described as one of the strongest software lineups for any piece of hardware, Sony is still finding it difficult to attract third party developers to the Vita.
“We’re having a more difficult time than we had anticipated in terms of getting support from third-party publishers, but that’s our job,” Sony Computer Entertainment Worldwide Studio President Shuhei Yoshida told PlayStation: The Official Magazine in a recent interview.
“We will continue to talk to development communities and publishing partners and tell them why Vita can provide a great experience for the IPs they have and I hope the Assassin’s Creed game will prove that.
The exploding popularity of mobile/ social sector has developers anxious to shift focus to that growing market, according to Yoshida. However, he still believes Sony can attract small, independent studios with the Vita and PS Mobile.

Hopefully it can play classic NeoGeo cartridges, those ports in front look like they could service classic NeoGeo controllers as well.
But where would the cartridges even go? I don't think they'd have a slot on the handheld for Neo Geo sized cartridges.

IO Interactive’s Jonas Meyer headed up the presentation. He says that IO “want the game to look as awesome as possible” and promises that “Hitman’s suit looks ten times more awesome on PC.”
...Owen was impressed by what he saw, noting the subtle bloom on Agent 47′s bald head and fine details like trickling sweat...

Increased texture resolution, Increased gesture resolution Higher shadow Map resolution. Full mouse and key support Optimised PC user interface Optimised for low and high end PCs Steam works integration including steam cloud saves
Dx 11 only features:
Global illumination Bokeh Tesselation Eyefinity support HD3D support
Hitman: Absolution will feature an asynchronous multiplayer mode known as "Contracts," IO Interactive revealed at a Gamescom event. Players make their own scenarios, targeting any three characters on a given level with any weapons, and challenging other players to complete the contract in less time (and for more money).
For example, in the oft-seen library scene where Agent 47 is trying to get away from a group of cops, it is now possible to make an original kill scenario. Players take out a target, choosing a specific weapon. Then they can do that to two other characters, then escape the scenario – and upload that to the contracts server.
Developer IO Interactive says there will be weekly contracts. Earned money can be used to start scenarios with weapons and disguises. For example, if you know a specific costume helps you blend in a certain level, you'll be able to start the level wearing it to reduce time. The mode will be playable at Gamescom and IO will release a video detailing the new mode tomorrow.

Quote
"System for converting television commercials into interactive networked video games Abstract Methods, systems, and computer programs for converting television commercials into interactive network video games are presented. In one method, a broadcast or streamed commercial is accompanied by an interactive segment. A media player coupled to the broadcast or streaming media source identifies the existence of the interactive segment and presents the user with an enhanced and interactive mini-game commercial that can be played with other "viewers" in a common or disperse demographic. Multiple methods for content delivery are provided, including a model where television commercial is inserted within consecutive frames of the television program, and a model where the commercial is overlaid on frames of the television program allowing the user to play the game while the television program is displayed. In a preferred embodiment, the termination of the interactive mini-game commercial is set within a fixed time period commensurate with traditional spot television advertising. "
Ubisoft claims it has endured "a 93%-95% piracy rate" on PC (http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2012-08-22-ubisoft-has-endured-a-93-95-percent-piracy-rate-on-pc)
Quote
Ubisoft has endured a 93 to 95 per cent piracy rate on PC. That's why it's investing in free-to-play on PC - to guarantee revenue, Ubisoft boss Yves Guillemot told GamesIndustry International.
"We want to develop the PC market quite a lot and F2P is really the way to do it," he said. "The advantage of F2P is that we can get revenue from countries where we couldn't previously - places where our products were played but not bought. Now with F2P we gain revenue, which helps brands last longer.
"It's a way to get closer to your customers, to make sure you have a revenue. On PC it's only around five to seven per cent of the players who pay for F2P, but normally on PC it's only about five to seven per cent who pay anyway, the rest is pirated. It's around a 93 to 95 per cent piracy rate, so it ends up at about the same percentage. The revenue we get from the people who play is more long term, so we can continue to bring content."
Ubisoft has had a troubled history with PC gamers. It's come in for criticism for its DRM efforts and releasing PC versions of multiplatform games after the console versions. It'll do it again this year with the launch of Assassins' Creed 3, which launches on PC two weeks after console.
At Gamescom last week Ubisoft announced a raft of PC exclusive F2P titles, including Silent Hunter Online, Anno Online, The Settlers Online and Heroes of Might Heroes Online. It's also got Shootmania Storm and Ghost Recon Online in the works.
In March this year Ubisoft's digital boss Chris Early told Eurogamer that Ubisoft wanted to offer PC gamers so much value with its franchises that the need for its controversial DRM "goes away".
It hopes strategies including companion gaming, which sees spin-off experiences on mobile devices and social platforms feed into their related core games, and constant game updates, will discourage piracy. In short, it wants to create systems similar to those used by MMO makers for its games.
"Will some people still pirate? Yeah, they will. Will the person who really wants that broad experience pirate? We hope not," he said.
Ubisoft attracted gamers' ire when it announced that the PC versions of both Driver: San Francisco and From Dust required users to log on to the internet every time they played the game.
Such was the outcry that Ubisoft changed its mind, tweaking Driver's DRM so that players would no longer require always-on internet to enjoy it.
But that didn't prevent a number of Ubisoft PC games, including Driver and Anno 2070, from being completely unplayable online and offline when the company moved its gaming servers over to a third-party.
The publisher then claimed its DRM policy was a success, insisting it had seen "a clear reduction in piracy of our titles which required a persistent online connection".

Quote
“The PC gaming audience can be very influential. They’re very vocal, and I think they respect and appreciate when effort is made. I think Square felt strongly enough when they saw where our PC version was at, and even showed the multiple-monitor 3D setup at some of the trade shows prior to the launch,”
Quote
“Very early on in development, we wanted to create a PC-specific version. We always had that planned. When the game changed hands from Activision to Square Enix, Square was incredibly supportive of the PC version and actually wanted us to do more with it,”

Professor Layton VS Ace Attorney Development at Climax (http://andriasang.com/con2af/layton_ace_attorney_development/)
Quote
Level-5 and Capcom's long quiet crossover between Professor Layton and Ace Attorney made it back into the headlines today through some comments from Ace Attorney creator Shuu Takumi.
As part of a Famitsu.com dialogue between Takumi and Ace Attorney movie director Takashi Miike, Takumi said "Production on Layton vs Ace Attorney is at its climax. It's like my entire life is focused on it. While I still can't say much, it's progressing well, so please wait a bit more."
Takumi contrasted his work on Layton vs Ace Attorney with his less hands-on role on the Ace Attorney movie, saying "While [Latyon vs Ace Attorney] is being developed jointly with Level-5, games are my job, so I can't just leave it to someone else like with the movie."
Takumi and Miike also discussed the possibility of a sequel to the Ace Attorney movie. Miike said that if it were up to him, he wouldn't just want to convert Ace Attorney 2 into a movie. Instead, he may want to use film to show sides of the story that aren't shown in the games.

Psychonauts coming to US PSN next Tuesday (http://neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=488250)
Quote
First things first: Psychonauts is coming to PlayStation 2 Classics.
…Okay, that’s only one thing. But it’s super important.
Psychonauts was Double Fine‘s first game, and it came out for the PlayStation 2 way back in 2005. We love it a lot. It’s the story of a gifted young psychic cadet who must delve deep into dangerous minds and put a stop to a sinister conspiracy. And on August 28th, you will be able to download it to your PlayStation 3 as a PlayStation 2 Classic.
If you never played Psychonauts, you’re in for a treat! If you played it before, why not buy it again, just for old time’s sake? Ha ha! Tell a friend or two or a hundred.
“So, what took so long?” you may ask. Well, you’d be in fine company for asking. As internet user @smushums66 requested, “Psychonauts PSN title or PS2 classic PLEASE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”
Fellow netizen Lemming inquired only last month, “RELEASE PSYCHONAUTS ON PSN…DO YOU LIKE FREE MONEY???”
These are just a few of the seemingly infinite requests for Psychonauts PS3 we receive on a daily basis. And as it turns out, we do love free money! (Preferably in cash-stuffed envelopes slid under the office door.) But to truly become a PlayStation 2 Classic, we wanted to ensure Psychonauts had all the time it needed to grow into its status as a classic, like a fine artisanal Tuscan cheese. But less smelly.
Now, nearly seven years after its original release, that time has come. In five days, I mean. So get ready. Prepare yourself. Warm up your console. Recharge your controller. Do some thumb exercises (is that a thing??). Fortify your funnybone. Tune up your heartstrings. Clean off your credit card. Brace yourself for Psychonauts.

Square Enix's big The World Ends With You surprise appears to have been spoiled... by Square Enix itself!
The company's e-Shop has a listing for a new The World Ends With You soundtrack. The listing mentions that a version of The World Ends With You is due for release on iOS this year.
You can see the soundtrack listing here. The text mentioning the iOS version of the game has been removed.
The original text mentioned that the iOS version of the game will have new music.
The soundtrack in question is titled Subarashiki Kono Sekai Crossover (using the Japanese name of TWEWY, Subarashiki Kono Sekai). Set for release on October 1 at ¥1,890, the soundtrack includes the new iOS version songs, the TWEWY arrangements from Kingdom Hearts 3D, and new arrangements prepared just for the soundtrack.
Square Enix's TWEWY countdown is scheduled to reach zero this weekend, so we should get official announcement soon. It's possible that there will be more to the announcement than just the iOS version, so TWEWY fans will want to keep an eye on the teaser site.
The dream is dead.

This peeks my curiosity as well TWEWY was one of those games that I thought we'd never see on another console simply because it used nearly every aspect that the DS had mainly the dual screens. It'll be interesting to see how they'll make it work on a touch only ios

I was expecting filtered sprites and crippled content but this actually got effort in it. Those new sprites look awesome, higher quality sound is orgasmic, I don't know about the new Fusion Pin system but it doesn't look so bad. Hell, this thing even has the unused tracks from the japanese version.
Why is everyone bashing it so roughly? Oh right, BAAAWWWW IT'S NOT A SEQUEL.

Well they put up a countdown with new remixes so it really seemed like it was gonna be a sequel. Squeenix got our hopes up and then pulled the rug under us.
You've got yourself to blame there. "It really seemed" doesn't mean "It was going to be", people are hating on the product because they expected something that wasn't even promised. Just because you came out disappointed doesn't mean that the actual product is bad. From what I'm seeing, this is a nice port but it gets hate from people because it's not what they wanted even if that thing wasn't offered at all and because it's on a device they don't like.
I like to judge things on what they are and in my opinion this port is good news for any iOS user. At any rate, I'm fighting a battle I can't win. It's not like my opinion and views will change how people see this.

You've got yourself to blame there. "It really seemed" doesn't mean "It was going to be", people are hating on the product because they expected something that wasn't even promised.
I'm not hating on the product itself, I'm just pretty disappointed it's not a sequel.

The World Ends With You Director: A Variety of Other Things In the Works (http://andriasang.com/con2fh/twewy_other_stuff/)
Quote
Square Enix brought The World Ends With You back into the spotlight last week with the release of Solo Remix, an updated iOS port of the classic DS title. But the company's plans for the series do not appear to end there.
In Famitsu this week, TWEWY director Tatsuya Kando fielded a few questions to commemorate the iOS version's release. As a closing message, he said, "For those who were waiting for new developments for TWEWY, sorry to have kept you waiting. Solo Remix is a game with such a high level of completion that you won't feel that it's a port. If you play it and post Tweets to Twitter, the world will expand even further. We're working on a variety of other things, but first please enjoy Solo Remix."
iOS is out of the way so it can only be something good right?

Technically they did fuck up already they messed up the Story/Lore for why you fight on two different screens. Also since now you partner is a Summon Pin I'm sure it alters later boss fights a good deal and the way Taboo Noise are fought probably got changed as well. though so far i haven't been able to find any later game boss fights or Taboo noise fight to see how they are handled and since it doesn't work with Itouchs i can't even get it see for myself.
People Think she's Neku and Shiki's Daughter.

(http://gematsu.com/2012/08/final-fantasy-xiiixiii-2-dual-pack-leaked)
Quote
PlayStation Asia has leaked a special, ‘Final Fantasy 25th Anniversary “Final Fantasy XIII/Final Fantasy XIII-2 Dual Pack” Limited Edition’ less than an hour before Square Enix’s big Lightning Saga New Developments Presentation in Shibuya.
The Dual Pack will go on sale in Asia on September 13. It will include both games – the Ultimate Hits edition of the first game – and eight post cards. If this pack isn’t announced for North America, both games have “Traditional Chinese or English, and voice acting in the original Japanese.”
Wonder if it includes the DLC? Lightning Returns: Final Fantasy XIII announced for 2013 http://www.ign.com/articles/2012/09/01/lightning-returns-final-fantasy-xiii-announced
Quote
The most startling change to Lightning Returns comes in the form of the doomsday countdown. According to Square-Enix, the world will end after 13 days, and a massive clock will count down constantly in the corner of the screen to indicate this looming deadline. Any action players take, even taking the monorail from place to place, will spend time and hasten the end of days.
With Lightning as the only playable character, players will have unparalleled control over customizing her looks and combat style. The battle system itself, a greatly modified version of the previous two, will feature real-time elements including direct control of Lightning's movement and her attacks, as well as time-based moves that drain the doomsday counter. Lightning Returns will also include a real-time block system, designed to make battles much more active and time-based. Even dying mid-battle will activate a prompt to give players the choice to rewind their mistakes at the expense of the timer.

Without saying anything specific about the game in question, the concept of video game characters having children is fine, unless it's used as a shitty plot device to make them do the exact same thing as their parent. That's not how real life works, fusing two personalities/designs and calling it their child and pitting them in the same situation to see what would change. It's possible for children to do something completely different from their parents.

It isn't that, it's that it's so trope-y. "The son/daughter of the hero must rise and defeat this new evil" is a thing I've seen played to death in every JRPG ever, forever.

Well, the first game was pretty successful at using all those cliched elements of JRPGs in a new (and actually interesting) manner, so I'm sure they could do the same with the hero's progeny cliche.

Ace Attorney 5 Confirmed for 3DS; Layton VS Ace Attorney Possibly Due in November (http://andriasang.com/con2ku/ace_attorney_famitsu/)
Quote
This week's Famitsu is a must for Ace Attorney fans. The magazine has looks at two Ace Attorney games: Ace Attorney 5 and Professor Layton vs Ace Attorney.
For Ace Attorney 5, the magazine confirms the sequel's platform as 3DS and reveals that Phoenix Wright is the main character. Wright has a new partner, a mysterious girl in yellow clothing. This girl will be a central figure in the game.
Layton vs Ace Attorney got a major ad on the magazine's back cover. The ad itself is a puzzle showing the characters "6211." Tales Source, a site that gets the magazine in advance, says that there are some clues which suggest that this number is meant to be read flipped around, showing 1129, or perhaps a November 29 release date.
Officially, Famitsu lists Ace Attorney 5 as date TBA and Professor Layton vs Ace Attorney with a 2012 time frame.

Ace Attorney 5 Demo Set For Tokyo Game Show (http://andriasang.com/con2kw/ace_attorney_5_tgs/)
Quote
Tokyo Game Show attendees will get an early chance at playing Ace Attorney 5, as Famitsu reveals this week that the game will be playable at the event later this month. Capcom has prepared a fifteen minute demo, and will even reward those who line up with a special strap as a gift.
As we reported earlier, Famitsu confirms Ace Attorney 5 as a 3DS title featuring Phoenix Wright as the main character. The magazine also introduces a mysterious girl who wears yellow. She's a key person in the game, and will be properly introduced at Tokyo Game Show.
Ace Attorney 5 is set one year after the events of Ace Attorney 4 and sees Phoenix Wright return to being a lawyer. The game's first chapter involves an explosion at the courthouse. The charged is a high school girl named Shinobu. She's very week and can go into spasms at any moment. In the courtroom, Wright will face off against Winston Payne's brother.
Famitsu has just three screenshots, but they hint at some new gameplay systems. Like Layton vs Ace Attorney, the game will have fully 3D characters. It appears that you'll be able to select to give certain facial expressions during testimony, as there are facial expression icons on the lower screen.
Based off the reports we're reading from people who get Famitsu in advance, Shu Takumi is not fully involved with Ace Attorney 5, as he's busy on Layton vs Ace Attorney. The magazine lists Motohide Eshiro as producer, Go Yamazaki as scenario director, and Noriyuki Iwadare on music.

Abandoning the series's current story arc and main character to bring back Phoenix after everyone whined about him becoming a hobo is not pondering to the fanbase?
Shu Takumi never even intended to bring back Phoenix or anyone in the Phoenix trilogy in Apollo Justice but executive meddling succeeded. It's probably the reason why he stated AJ was the last game in the series and proceeded to quit to make other games.

The thing of it is, the Apollo Justice story arc was never about Apollo Justice. The whole thing was pretty much a continuation of Phoenix's story, from the first case where Apollo just sat there slack-jawed while Wright collared the murderer himself, up to the last case which revolved entirely around what happened to make Phoenix lose his badge. Hell, you spend most of the last case playing as Phoenix, while Apollo practically disappears. Like I said, Apollo never really served much of a purpose other than to be a player character in an Ace Attorney game where Phoenix Wright was no longer a lawyer.

See, I have kind of a hard time believing that that's true, because if Phoenix wasn't there at all, then almost none of any of the other characters have any reason to be there. Almost everything in the story circles back to Phoenix in some way, so it seems like kind of a stretch to think that he was forced in by a marketing team just to appease fans.

Takumi planned to make the story only all about Apollo with no involvement with the previous arc. It was supposerd to be a fresh start. He had to change it when executives told him to put Phoenix in. Sadly I can't find that interview where he said it. I can only find the one about AJ being intended to be the last of the series. Though he later changed his mind from what I've seen. After the Investigations games proving that the series is still popular. They do say he's not working on GS5 because he's busy with AAvsPL.
When I said they were pondering to the fanbase. I was specifically taking about how much people wanted Phoenix to be the main character again which they did for GS5. It had nothing to do with AJ.
Just for the record I have no problem at all with GS5 (Nick's new look is so swag). I'm just disappointed that they'd just abandon Apollo and Trucy like that. I've wanted to see new developments for them like
Spoiler, click to toggle visibilty
Thalassa finally revealing to them that she's alive and how they're actually half-siblings.
Also I want to see Klavier and Ema back!!!! X(

And to be honest I can't see them completely abandoning Trucy or Apollo in this new one either. Trucy's still Phoenix's daughter, and Apollo still works for him (I assume), so they'd have a lot of explaining to do if neither of them were heard from again.
What I really want to know is what the heck happened to Maya and Pearl during that timeskip.

Ace Attorney 5 Is Coming To The West (http://www.siliconera.com/2012/09/05/ace-attorney-5-is-coming-to-the-west/)
Quote
Following a report by Pocket Gamer that Ace Attorney 5 for the Nintendo 3DS is being released in western territories, we decided to write in to Capcom ourselves, in order to confirm the situation.
Brian Keltner, PR Manager at Capcom, confirmed to us:
Quote
“Capcom is planning to release Gyakuten Saiban 5 (Ace Attorney 5) in the West. We’ll have more news soon.”
As previously reported, Phoenix Wright will return as the main protagonist in Ace Attorney 5. The game takes place one year after the events of Apollo Justice. You can read more about it here.

I expected as such. They didn't localize AAI2 because of low sales and the 3DS hasn't been hacked yet.
Considering how the series has a tendency for chars. to return, people outside Japan will be confused if AAI2 chars. will make it in. Same for the references.

Ayane wouldn't be enough to make me interested in any form of Ninja Gaiden 3. I would also need to see these following features in addition to the ones listed:
- The challenge goes back to having unusually strong enemies that are best approached strategically instead of a gazillion weaklings that are only of consequence because several of them will be hiding outside of the view of the camera and are constantly chucking projectiles at you. - Realizing that they can't make an action video game character likeable by showing his soft side as the main premise of the game's plot without being really stupid and annoying. Especially when that character will be murdering hundreds of people shortly afterward. - The glorious return of exploring for secrets. - Dabilahro. - Ryu controls freely and smoothly again. - The enemies no longer sporadically stop trying to kill you for a moment to taunt/beg you for their lives. - Fucking remove hero mode it's insulting even to casual gamers who will never be interesting in this game in the first place.

Tecmo Koei is backing Wii U with two titles at launch Ninja Gaiden 3: Razor’s Edge and Warriors Orochi 2 Hyper (that should be Warriors Orochi 3 for the West, I think!) are scheduled to launch along side the system in Japan.
Sangokushi 12 and Fist of the North Star: Ken’s Rage 2 are also in development for Wii U.
Ninja Gaiden 3 is getting an updated version on Wii U, titled Ninja Gaiden 3: Razor’s Edge, which will be published by Nintendo. In addition to previously revealed tweaks, it has one other major feature—Ayane as a playable character:
Ayane will have her own playable chapters in the game, according to Nintendo, and will also feature two-player online co-op, with Ryu and Ayane together. A separate Chapter Challenge Mode will allow you to play any chapter of the game using either Ryu or Ayane.
Ninja Gaiden 3: Razor’s Edge will add dismemberment back into the game, and will also feature improved enemy AI.

Obsidian's Secret project has been revealed. It's a kickstarter for Project Eternity.
Project Eternity is based on an original game universe by Obsidian Entertainment's Chris Avellone, Josh Sawyer, Tim Cain, and Adam Brennecke.
The game is a top-down party-based RPG heavily inspired by Infinity Engine-style games like Baldur's Gate and Icewind Dale.
Instead of 3D graphics, Project Eternity uses 2D pre-rendered and hand-painted backdrops, just like old Infinity Engine titles, but improved by modern technology.
Project Eternity uses its own rule set built from the ground-up by Obsidian, and features party-based, real-time-with-pause tactical combat.
The character system will feature not just extensive combat abilities, but non-combat ones as well, from diplomacy to deception.
The game features adult subject matter and will explore social and political issues that some other RPGs shy away from.
Project Eternity features voice acting as "flavor", while allowing for extensive, reactive conversation trees in the style of Planescape: Torment.
Players take on the role of a single fixed character and are accompanied by companions throughout the game, similar to Baldur's Gate.
The game will be funded on Kickstarter in a manner similar to Wasteland 2 and Shadowrun Returns.
Project Eternity is PC-exclusive, and will be later ported to Mac and Linux.

Post by: DMK on September 17, 2012, 05:07:11 pm
We are going to do things a little differently today. Some of you may not know who I am so to start out, I´m going to tell you a little bit about myself.
I joined BioWare in May of 1997 making this year my 15th year with the Company (So, old…). I am a programmer by training and implemented the AI, scripting, and combat systems in Baldur´s Gate. After that, I moved into a lead programmer role on Tales of the Sword Coast, BG2, and Shadows of Amn. I kept my hands dirty during this time; you have me to blame for the wild mage.
After the Baldur´s Gate series, I was the lead programmer on Jade Empire, though I made a brief detour to implement the first version of the DM client in Neverwinter Nights.
Then through a weird series of un-relatable stories, I ended up on BioWare´s handheld title Sonic Chronicles: The Dark Brotherhood. I started out as Lead Programmer and finished in charge of the project. Along the way I managed to write a scripting language somehow WORSE than the one in BG, yet at the same time coded a stats system that I am VERY proud of. Fundamentally, the core achievement was that you could not die after you had already; it´s surprising how hard that can be to ensure, sometimes.
Finally I moved over to the Dragon Age franchise. I have been the Executive Producer since just before Dragon Age: Origins shipped.
I am part of an active D&D campaign, love collecting pen and paper stuff and like walks on the beach. Actually I don´t like walks on the beach, too smooshy.
Okay, enough about me, why have I called you all here today?
I am pleased to confirm that we are, in fact, working on the next Dragon Age game. Not a big surprise to most of you, I know. We have been working on it in some way for about two years now with the bulk of our efforts ramping up about 18 months ago.
Part of that effort has involved you, our fans, and the feedback you´ve provided for Dragon Age: Origins, Dragon Age II, and their DLC. We´ve visited message boards, read reviews, and we´ve gone to events to have direct face to face conversations with some of our most passionate fans. We´ve been listening, and we will continue to listen.
Recently, I said that we didn´t want to talk about Dragon Age III unless we had something to show. I´m trying to stick to that plan and won´t be revealing much today. That said, a lot of information and rumors have surfaced recently and we don´t want to hide from them. There are a BUNCH of things that I really want to share with you but I want to do this right, and doing it right requires some more time.
So here´s what I can confirm for now:
The next game will be called Dragon Age III: Inquisition. We won´t be talking about the story of the game today. Though you can make some guesses from the title. This game is being made by a lot of the same team that has been working on Dragon Age since Dragon Age: Origins. It´s composed of both experienced BioWare veterans and talented new developers. We are working on a new engine which we believe will allow us to deliver a more expansive world, better visuals, more reactivity to player choices, and more customization. At PAX East, we talked about armour and followers… Yeah, that kind of customisation. We´ve started with Frostbite 2 from DICE as a foundation to accomplish this. There´s much more to talk about, of course, but it will have to wait until it´s ready for the prime time.
We are going to be as open as we can. We will continue to have a dialogue with you and answer what questions we can. Keep providing us with your feedback. I´m excited about what we are working on and I hope that you will be too. I know this is going to be hard to believe, but it is just as hard for me not to tell you stuff as it is for you to wait.
With thanks for your enthusiasm, and your patience,
Mark

You mean, logical, the more experience he gains, the more apropiate is it for him to become a mentor figure for young professionals, thus swapping young beautiful assistants every few years so they can give them his knowledge is the logical thing to do.

With invigorating new elements infused into a proven mix, Dead Island Riptide will reanimate the zombie terror in the original game. A monsoon has hit the once beautiful archipelago and heavy rainstorms have laid waste to large areas of the islands. The city of Henderson and jungle areas on the island of Palanai were flooded leaving boats as the only remaining way of transportation. Dynamic weather conditions will force the team members to adapt to changing visibility conditions.

Platinum Games, the developer behind console action games Bayonetta, Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance, and upcoming Wii U game The Wonderful 101, may move beyond dedicated console development to bring its games to the PC, says executive director Atsushi Inaba.
Inaba told Polygon at Tokyo Game Show that making games for PC and releasing them through Valve's Steam service — and funding its own projects through Kickstarter — is something the developer is "very interested in."

Ugh Vanquish. Platinum should get Madworld on Steam somehow. Yes, it would be a far less fun gameplay experience without the motion controls, but it would still be worth a play for people who don't want to buy a Wii.

I'm actually surprised it never made the crossover to the PS3 like some other Wii games (which could also be played with a remote if you didn't have the PS Move) like No More Heroes, Dead Space Extraction, Resident Evil Umbrella Chronicles, etc. I know they're not all by the same company, just saying that some Wii games re-released in HD for the PS3 at least.

Did Microsoft help develop Mass Effect 1?
Even if they did, I don't think it's that comparable with Bayonetta; Mass Effect is a super popular series that went from console exclusive (and PC) to multiplatform, and became a hugely successful series. Bayonetta went from a decent selling multiplatform title to an exclusive, because somehow a game featuring a witch who summons demons through her hair, which also forms her clothes, didn't sell amazingly. >:[

Kingdom Hearts 1.5 HD Remix announcement ‘only for Japan’ (http://gematsu.com/2012/09/kingdom-hearts-1-5-hd-remix-announcement-only-for-japan)
Quote
Square Enix announced Kingdom Hearts 1.5 HD Remix at last week’s Tokyo Game Show. But will it arrive in North America and Europe?
“The recent KINGDOM HEARTS -HD 1.5 ReMIX- announcement was only for the Japanese market,” a Square Enix rep told Gematsu.
If anything changes, we were told we’ll be informed.
Kingdom Hearts 1.5 HD Remix, which includes Kingdom Hearts: Final Mix and Kingdom Hearts Re: Chain of Memories updated in high-definition, as well as high-def cutscenes from Kingdom Hearts: 358/2 Days, is due for PlayStation 3 next year in Japan. If you missed the trailer, catch it here.

KH re-releasing is always a big deal because the plot requires you to pretty much play every game thoroughly to keep up, and I never finished CoM nor do I remember most of KH1 so its a big deal to me, damnit.

I liked the first Kingdom Hearts, but I never finished it (damn Maleficent's Dragon form... Damn her to hell!).
Then it turned into one giant ass cluster-fuck where it almost seems like it wasn't tied to first game in any way, shape and/or form. At this point, unless it's KH3 (and they start making sense again), I'm not going to care.
Title: Re: gaming news that don't deserve their own thread
Post by: Nanashi_1337 on September 28, 2012, 09:33:17 pm
Yeah, that's the problem with the KH series. KH was the best, and probably because they assumed it wouldn't have that much success and made sure to do a good job and that the story was properly tied up (with a possible way to make a sequel in case they had success). Then they discovered they were really succesfull and started doing a poor job with the story part, unfortunately. Their last stunt, not properly finishing KH:3D and leaving a cliffhanger for more games in such an obvious way was quite annoying, at least for me.
And there's always the option of importing. I've always wanted to try out KH1:FM and properly lip synced cutscenes of Re:CoM for years.
I have it. I didn't even need to import, someone was selling his copy in a 2nd hand market. I played it and I like the new boss they added, it's hard but fun to fight against. Be jealous of me :eaugh:

Well, just from reading the responses in this thread people seem to be mad about either two things: that it's exclusive to Japan (at this point, at least), and that it's another entry in the series that is not a true sequel, and people are feeling pretty jerked around, which seems perfectly understandable to me. :-\

Following a bizarre turn of events and a highly unlikely TV commercial, actor Jerry Lambert - for years the "face" of the PlayStation brand - is being sued, along with Bridgestone, by none other than Sony itself.
Despite having made something of a name for himself playing the fictional PlayStation executive Kevin Butler, last month Lambert appeared in an advertisement for Bridgestone tires playing a competitor's product, the Nintendo Wii.
Strangely, the commercial was later edited to remove Lambert from it entirely. Which seemed weird, but it may be explained by the fact that on September 11, Sony Computer Entertainment America filed a suit (spotted by gumby_trucker @ NeoGAF) against both Bridgestone and Wildcat Creek, a company registered in 2007 by...Jerry Lambert, who according to California Secretary of State data is also its president (presumably it's the registered name for the handling of his business affairs, since there's little other online data or representation for it).
Sony is suing both companies over trademark infringement, I'd wager for their use of Lambert - synonymous now with the PlayStation brand - in a scenario involving video games that aren't PlayStation games. It would be crazy if the fine print of Lambert's contract with Sony didn't include some mention of not being seen to endorse competing products for some set amount of time.
We've contacted both Sony and Bridgestone for comment on the specifics of the case, and will update if we hear back.

Ninja Gaiden 3: Razor’s Edge Free DLC Will Add More Playable Characters (http://www.siliconera.com/2012/10/25/ninja-gaiden-3-razors-edge-free-dlc-will-add-more-playable-characters/) Ninja Gaiden 3: Razors' Edge (Wii U) - comprehensive list of changes (http://www.2d-x.com/ninja-gaiden-3-razors-edge-for-wii-u-jusr-keeps-getting-better/)
Quote
-Perhaps the most significant change of all is the fact that Ryu is actually responsive in Razor’s Edge. Ryu’s recovery has been shortened greatly, so players can easily cancel into a dodge or block as the situation demands. -Enemies have been improved. They are more aggressive, and some have access to new moves. The basic terrorist grunts and alchemists are the most obvious examples. -Combat has been redesigned to have a more technical feel. Enemies have more stagger animations (including wall damage/stuns). Both playable characters now have a universal grab (the Guillotine throw). -Charge attacks are extremely fast. Ninja Gaiden 3 introduced a charge mechanic, whereby holding down the heavy attack resulted in a powerful combo extension. The length of time needed to charge this attack has been reduced dramatically. -There are six weapons available to Ryu in Razor’s Edge right from the get-go. Ryu now has access to the claws, scythe, dual katanas, staff, and an as-of-yet unrevealed weapon, on top of the standard katana. -Karma has been redesigned to function as both the point/ranking system, as well as currency. -Collectible items have been reintroduced. The Golden Scarabs from the original Ninja Gaiden, and Crystal Skulls from Ninja Gaiden 2 are strewn about each stage, and can be collected for an instant Karma bonus. -Players can use this Karma currency to purchase upgrades for weapons and magic (Ninpo) as well as unique combat abilities and even in-game costumes. -The new “Cicada Surge” teleportation ability has been polished greatly since its reveal back during E3. It is an incredibly handy way to get out of overwhelming situations. -A new ability, called “Four Rings” has been introduced. It is a 360º shuriken attack that stuns enemies surrounding Ryu, and can be tacked on to combos on-the-fly, much like ordinary shuriken attacks. -Ultimate Techniques can be used even when Ryu/Ayane’s weapons aren’t glowing red, simply by holding down and charging a heavy attack (much like in Ninja Gaiden 2). Ultimate Techniques have two charge levels once again. -Ninpo is still earned through combat. However, you can keep your Ninpo charge between encounters now, allowing you to cast magic or save it as you see fit. -Bosses have life gauges now. You can see their health on the bottom of the screen.
Guess there is hope for Kasumi fans that she'll finally become playable in a NG.

When the revolutionary Wii U console launches across North America on Nov. 18, the lineup of available games will include a riveting action title with features unavailable on any other system. Nintendo has confirmed that NINJA GAIDEN 3: Razor’s Edge for Wii U will launch with new weapons and characters, a redesigned battle system and online multiplayer modes* that let fans savor the adventure together. The game is a powerhouse addition to what promises to be a spectacular software lineup for Wii U.
In NINJA GAIDEN 3: Razor’s Edge, the enigmatic warrior Ryu Hayabusa must fight to lift a curse that threatens to destroy him. Whereas the original NINJA GAIDEN 3 included only three weapons for players to choose from, this new version offers six weapons – Sword, Claws, Scythe, Dual Katana, Staff and Kusari-Gama – each with its own unique strengths. The number of available Ninpo has also been increased from one to three.
The following features and enhancements in NINJA GAIDEN 3: Razor’s Edge are exclusive to Wii U:
Ayane as a playable character: In previous versions of the game, Ayane appeared only briefly in one cut scene. Now players can help her progress through her own exclusive chapters using a special set of weapons and Ninpo attacks.
Character-progression system: Using Karma points earned during game play, players can upgrade weapons and Ninpo, learn new moves, increase their HP level and unlock new character costumes.
Ryu and Ayane playable in co-op mode: For the first time, players can use Ryu or Ayane to represent themselves in the game’s online co-op mode.
Test of Valor battle areas: Each chapter includes a hidden battle area called Test of Valor. Upon finding hidden Crystal Skulls, players will be transported to these areas to face down waves of enemies and classic NINJA GAIDEN boss characters with new moves.
Wii U GamePad Functionality: Using the Wii U GamePad, players can easily change weapons or Ninpo attacks, and also quickly reference the button inputs required for various combo attacks without ever stopping the action.
Additional Playable Characters: After the launch of the game, additional playable characters will become available as free downloadable content. More information about these characters will be revealed at a later time.
More Tenacious Enemies: The Wii U version of the game restores enemies’ ability to fight when severely wounded, requiring players to stay nimble with their battle strategies. Ninja Gaiden 3: Razor’s Edge is rated “M” for Mature by the ESRB. For more information, visit http://ninjagaiden3.nintendo.com.

Not necessarily. All this just means is that people can do alot more on their PS3s (Possibilities are going to be insane, long after the PS4 comes at that.), but ultimately I don't think sales will take a major hit because console pirating isn't as big as PC pirating. Console exclusives might be in alot worse shape however.

(CBS News) The U.S. Navy SEALs are part of an elite force that operates in the shadows, best known for killing Osama bin Laden. However, CBS News has learned a group of SEALs has been disciplined for revealing secrets.
The seven members of SEAL Team Six are all still on active duty. One of them was on the raid which killed Osama bin Laden and made SEAL Team Six a household name. For two days this spring and summer, they worked as paid consultants on a recently released video game, "Medal of Honor: Warfighter."
The game does not recreate the bin Laden raid, but it does portray realistic missions, such as an attack on a pirates' den in Somalia. It was produced by Electronic Arts, which boasts that real commandos, both active duty and retired, help make its games as realistic as possible.
It is unclear what secrets members of SEAL Team Six gave away, but while serving as consultants for the game, they used classified material which had been given to them by the Navy. They also violated the unwritten code that SEALs are silent warriors who shun the spotlight.
The seven who have been punished so far all received letters of reprimand which would kill their chances for promotion. They also had half their pay taken away for two months.

Nintendo officially confirmed the Wii Mini today, revealing the new version as exclusive to Canada through the holiday season. The press release says "no information is available about its potential availability in other territories in the future." Priced at $99.99, the Wii Mini does not include Internet connectivity and isn't compatible with GameCube discs. As indicated by earlier leaked info, it comes with a red Nunchuk, a red Wiimote Plus controller, a sensor bar, power adapter, and standard composite cable.

How much would THQ's death affect Yukes? Would they be able to get a new publisher?
i suppose. i'd also guess that if, say, ea got the wwe license after thq's death, ea would give the game to one of their developers instead of yukes
Eh, though that wouldn't be a guarantee though would it? Either way I pray that neither EA nor Activision get it if that is the case. Even though I don't watch wrestling anymore I would love for the games to be good still.

New Madou Monogatari game announced: Sei Madou Monogatari for PS Vita (http://gematsu.com/2012/12/sei-madou-monogatari-announced-for-ps-vita)
Madou Monogatari is a dungeon crawler RPG series by Compile (now Compile Heart known by games such as Neptunia and Mugen Souls) but the series has been dead since 1998 which is why I find this interesting.
Should be noted that the characters from this series are now part of the puzzle game Puyo Puyo (owned by SEGA after Compile went bankrupt) so I guess this will be an all new game with all new characters.

The New 'God Of War' Game Is Getting '300' DLC For Reasons Known Only To Zeus (http://www.comicsalliance.com/2012/10/25/god-of-war-ascension-300-dlc-gamestop/)
"Sega (in the patent) was granted a patent on the idea of using a combination of swipes and drag/hold techniques to control multiple characters at once, while also maintaining primary control over one single character (in the case of the patent, a player with the ball, but they suggest it can be other things as well). The examples provided include moving linemen into formation using quick swipes while using a long drag to move the character with the ball up field. (So basically, a long drag will move the guy with the ball, while a quick swipe will move linemen, and a quick swipe on top of the ball to another character will pass the ball, etc. - there are multiple techniques mentioned here (including grouping multiple characters together to move at once) but they generally revolve around the same fundamental ideas)."
Capcom should sue every fighting game that uses QCF motions.
Man Sega's been on a legal trolling spree lately.

Post by: DMK on December 11, 2012, 10:22:44 pm
Well, some say it wasn't how the game is controlled, but the coding that does so. If its like the Motorola video patents that Mircosoft used they may have a case, but in this instance where they are plenty of games that go by using the touch screen to move character or whatever, it may be stricter and may not be big enough to hold up the case.
oh and sega cant into pr and should know attacking a small, yet popular, dev would be a bad idea.

Yeah, I know, but I just wanted that story DLC first, honestly. Oh well, guess it will be next time.
Now I know this isn't supposed to go here, but I honestly don't want to bump that thread just for one video. Remember in the past, that a certain fighting game of Koihime Muso was put in Arcades? Well, here I have a video with gameplay, which has three more characters: Karin, Shaoren and Sei. Here you have it:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gZ-7LysqXdE
It's a huge video. Just search for them, I'm sure you'll recognize them. Also, since when was Karin able to throw dark energy balls? And why is Shaoren making her weapons throw hearts? The only one that seems normal is Sei.
But yeah, gameplay isn't really interesting. I'm sure the game didn't have a lot of popularity.

Does that include North America? I actually hope it isn't complete for North America because I haven't beaten Disgaea 1 (So I got spoiled but that's k), and I hadn't even gotten to any of the other Disgaea games.

Same here.
Also I put in Gotcha Force in the "Other" series. HD port with EXVS netcode, new English dubs, the original JP dialogue and the original horrid EN dub would probably make me drop every other game for the following couple of years or so. It would be the best damn thing. The best damn thing.
Also if they pull a Power Stone Collection and ever release a Power Stone 1 HD with PS2 characters and extra stages and give it netplay, let alone including Dual Mode, I will jizz so fucking hard.

I felt that the survey was a real heartfelt effort by Capcom to gauge public interest. I pretty much let em know that I would buy many MM and SF games, along with Darkstalkers, but with RE in other I said to go back to traditional RE and make new entries instead of porting. Something tells me though that Capcom will probably make less and less original IPs as time goes on though.
Nothing on that survey interested me in the slightest except SF. IDGAF about Power Stone/GnG/Megaman/Dino Crisis.

I told them we wanted new games with modern graphics. I would just about shit myself if we got Megaman X9 in the style of the new Rocket Knight or Sonic 4 or something along those lines. 8-bit graphics don't do it for me and I don't understand why they went that route at all.
X8 was great, imo.

Reserve Fire Emblem: Awakening And Get An Art Book As A Bonus (http://www.siliconera.com/2012/12/20/reserve-fire-emblem-awakening-and-get-an-art-book-as-a-bonus/)
Quote
Nintendo of America is giving Fire Emblem fans a character art book as bonus if they reserve Fire Emblem: Awakening at GameStop. We should see some of No More Heroes artist Yusuke Kozaki’s work in the art book since he is the character artist for Fire Emblem: Awakening.
Fire Emblem: Awakening is slated for release on February 4, 2013.
Now if they would just release the Fire Emblem 3DS here to.
Earthbound Creator, Shigesato Itoi, Says Something Is In The Works (http://www.siliconera.com/2012/12/20/earthbound-creator-shigesato-itoi-says-something-is-in-the-works/)
Quote
Shigesato Itoi, creator of the Earthbound (known as Mother in Japan) series of games and editor-in-chief of the popular Hobo Nikkan Itoi Shinbun website, says that some sort of Earthbound return is underway.
Before you get excited, it’s not Earthbound 4.
Over Twitter, Itoi shared: “Since I’m allowed to drop it on you all now, I’ll just go ahead and say it. The “Mother re-release” I’d mentioned a bit before, we’re making progress on that.”
He added later: “It’s not 4! We’re trying to get Mother working again right now. I still can’t mention any details, but I have to make clear that this isn’t ‘4’!”
Judging by the way it’s worded, it sounds like Itoi could be saying that the involved parties are trying to get Earthbound prepped and working on current systems or for current audiences. A Nintendo 3DS Virtual Console release, perhaps?
Earthbound, for those that aren’t familiar, is a series of role-playing games published by Nintendo. The second game in the series, Mother 2 was released in North America, and was the first and only Mother game to be officially released outside Japan.

Please don't let it be just a e-shop download, though. I would kill to get an overhauled remake of Earthbound for 3DS like OoT got. Or hell, even a Mother compilation would be nice, just to get an official western release of Mother 3.

The PlayStation 2 launched in Japan on March 4, 2000 and the console lived beyond its ten year expected life cycle. Sony continues to ship new PS2s, but they won’t release any more new consoles in Japan.
After this batch of PS2s you’ll either have to pick up a used console or scour Yahoo! Auctions for a new one. New PS2 games still get made like the Final Fantasy XI: Seekers of Adoulin expansion disc, which will be available in March 2013.
Over 150,000,000 PS2s have been sold worldwide and Sony will continue to ship PS2s in other regions. The system just launched in Brazil back in 2009.

Yesterday, a demo for upcoming Kinect action game Crimson Dragon was accidentally released on Xbox Live in Japan before being swiftly pulled. But not before people could download it and record it being played.
The actual demo itself isn't new, it did the rounds last year, but this is the first time we've been able to see anything other than shaky-cam footage of it in action.
I know Panzer Dragoon creator Yukio Futatsugi is involved, and I know everyone's thinking of this as a Panzer Dragoon game in everything but name, and I know the dragons look badass and Panzer Dragoon was awesome, but...I look at this, and it looks like something I would try and play for five minutes before turning it off and remembering why it is I don't play Kinect games.
Was really excited until I saw that it's a Kinect game. :(

Sony Computer Entertainment has filed a patent for technology designed to combat pre-owned game sales. The patent (via NeoGAF) describes NFC-style technology that tags individual game copies with information, such as if they have been played on another console or account. The system then checks these tags before starting the game and could potentially block titles that have been purchased second-hand.

A similar system was patented before the ps3 released and nothing came of it. Sony knows that they'd be giving MS the upper hand if they're the only one doing it. Jack Tretton, president of SCEA is against blocking used games... In other words it's another of millions of patents that will never make it to production.

Seems like it is what could have been if they followed Shao Jun after Ezio's death in Embers. But as I recall, they had no interest in makeing a game for her or China in general.
Hmm. Well, looks nice, but seems it would have lost some of the originality if they'd gone with it. Maybe a future handheld console game for it would do it justice. I admit I am rather curious what happened to Shao after parting Ezio's villa. All there is on her is the small mention in ACIII.

Footage of the long canceled Primal Rage 2 was found after being in storage for 14 years (http://www.joystiq.com/2012/12/29/primal-rage-2-footage-surfaces-breaks-our-heart/).
Quote
Primal Rage 2 is one of the more mythical cancelled games of yore. Plenty of rumors and legends surround its life and death, but there's very little in the way of concrete, verifiable information when it comes to what the game was actually like. Now though, thanks to some new off-screen footage captured from a working prototype version, we have a slightly better idea of what could have been.
As shown in the video above, Primal Rage 2 maintained the claymation aesthetic found in the original game, though the character models and their various animations look much more fluid than Primal Rage's Harryhausen-esque staccato jitters. Furthermore, the combo system appears to have been improved and expanded, though to what extent is difficult to ascertain.
Essentially, it looks like everything we ever could have wanted. Finding absolute proof that we're not living in the best of all possible universes wasn't really on our "To Do:" list today, but here we are. Someday we'll open a worm hole to the bubble universe where Primal Rage 2 was released, and it'll be so great. Provided everyone in that universe breathes oxygen, of course; alternate universes can get complicated.

^ pretty much this. Afterwards, a flurry of his english speaking followers started spamming him with tweets about PC gaming, prompting him to block "so many stupid fucking idiot gaijin". Of course the whole gaijin/foreigner part was in japanese, which someone called him out for and called him a pussy, promting more rage.
I don't blame the guy for getting mad over having to deal with this shitstorm, but saying stuff that can easily be misconstrued as racism isnt exactly painting him a pretty picture either. And this is the guy that bought us DMC1, Okami, VJ, and Bayonetta?

In celebration of Capcom’s 30th anniversary, the company revealed the Capcom Arcade Cabinet—a collection of their 8-bit games—will be available digitally for PS3 and Xbox 360.
So far, only one game has been announced: Black Dragon (Black Tiger in the west), which will also be released for free as a demo. Capcom plans to announce more titles, their release dates, and their prices February 7.
Capcom also released a teaser image—a collage of silhouetted artwork from the games comprising the collection. Expectedly, NeoGaf has taken up the call to identify some of the titles. Eric and I pretty sure about Commando, Gun.Smoke, and Ghosts ‘n’ Goblins, but the rest remain elusive.

We heard rumours last August that Fallout 4 would be set in Boston, after Bethesda scouts were reported to be checking out the area from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. The last Fallout game developed by Bethesda was released in 2008, with series spin-off Fallout: New Vegas serving as the most recent entry in the series developed by Obsidian Entertainment and released in 2010.
I hope it'll be set in major parts of Asia! Showing the mainland of the commies and all them good stuff. + Maybe the return of the Enclave? I always felt that Fallout: New Vegas was incomplete because of the lack of Enclave activity (The part where Arcade was revealed as an Enclave doesn't count, that's not legit imo).

Fallout New Vegas had less gamebreaking bugs than Fallout 3. And so far, Skyrim has been a wonderful game in which I didn't find those bugs. So far, my expectations are reaaaally high for this game.
And yeah, the FPS part needs improvement. No matter how bad my Guns ability is, shotting from really close (like one meter) shouldn't make the bullet miss by taking a 60º angle, ffs. And honestly, I have always hated VATS. It's too slow.

They're not doing 14 games, they're just registering websites to promote one single one (and to prevent someone else from registering it). They did the same thing for Arkham City.

Those are done so you dont get other companies taking possible gaming names that are close to theirs.
What this means however is that a third arkham game is coming. Taking in consideration that they had modeled a lot of gotham main buildings im expecting it to be set both in gotham and Bludhaven ( every thug kept talking about moving there )

FINAL FANTASY ALL THE BRAVEST—A pick-up-and-go RPG with massive battles! ■The Active Time Battle system is back with the largest parties in FINAL FANTASY history! FINAL FANTASY ALL THE BRAVEST is a touch-action RPG in which you continuously battle enemies to advance through the game’s many stages. Defeating foes earns you the experience points you need to level up, which in turns grants you character slots to add more and more members to your party. Combat is based on the classic Active Time Battle (ATB) system of the FINAL FANTASY series. Every character possesses an ATB gauge that displays the time remaining until that character can execute an action. When the gauge is full, simply tap or drag your finger over the character to attack. Touch multiple characters in quick succession to experience exhilarating and fast-paced battle unlike anything you’ve ever played before! Once every three hours, the Fever option will appear. Once activated, you will be able to attack without waiting for ATB gauges to refill as long as the chocobo-themed music is playing. Deal as much damage as you can before the battle fever ends!
■Characters, enemies, and music from throughout the FINAL FANTASY series! Progress through the game to unlock over 20 different classic jobs, including warrior, monk, red mage, and more! Each job brings its own special abilities to the battleground, where you will encounter timeless FINAL FANTASY foes such as behemoths, bombs, and cactuars. At the end of each stage waits a harrowing encounter with a fiendish FINAL FANTASY boss! The game’s musical library comes packed with over 30 songs from the series, the majority of which are themes from battle. The perfect soundtrack to listen to as your crush your enemies and see them driven before you!
■Track your collection of every character, enemy, and item with in-game catalogs! The game’s three catalogs will keep a record of every character that joins your ranks, every enemy you encounter, and every item you obtain. Collect them all and open the catalogs to flip through the nostalgia whenever you like!
■Take part in leaderboards and social networking features! Global leaderboards will rank players based on stats such as the amount of damage dealt in the course of a single Fever. You will also be able to track progress and other feats using the game’s achievement system. Social networking features allow you to post directly to Facebook and Twitter, and reward you for doing so by granting additional member slots. Post and tweet away to increase the size of your party for battle!
■Purchase premium characters and new game worlds! The in-game shop offers access to 35 famous characters from a number of FINAL FANTASY titles. Each purchase ensures you will receive a new, random character. Which powerful favorites will you have join your party? You are also able to purchase additional game stages from FINAL FANTASY VII, X, and XIII. Board airships bound for new worlds where further adventures await!

And console TF2 is pretty much abandoned, so really it's just a PC only game now.

In games development they usually leave off leftover data on disc since removing them during development could cause irreversible damage. Just because they're on the disc in the console ports doesn't mean they were ever intended to be playable.
And the game is made available on all current-gen consoles and the PC. That's what actual opening up to a wider market is.

Spoiler: Concept 1(click to see content)
(http://i.imgur.com/WBdh00I.png)
Andrew Yoon said:
Yet another (http://www.shacknews.com/article/77457/report-orbis-ps4-to-use-eight-core-amd-cpu-radeon) Orbis rumor has surfaced, suggesting that the next PlayStation console will include biometric sensors and/or a touch screen. CVG claims a "senior games studio source working on an upcoming Sony game" says Sony has been experimenting with a number of controller designs. According to the report, the long-standard DualShock controller will not be a "primary controller" for the upcoming console, but "it is likely that the range of PS3 controllers will be compatible with the next-gen system."
While CVG (http://www.computerandvideogames.com/387287/cvg-sources-sony-to-abandon-dualshock-design-for-ps4/) initially posted the rumor, Eurogamer (http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2013-01-18-sony-to-drop-dualshock-for-the-next-playstation-report) claims that a separate source has confirmed its validity.
Adding more weight to the rumor is Sony's 2011 (http://www.shacknews.com/article/70898/sony-patents-biometric-controller) patent for biometric controllers. One implementation of the controller (seen above) largely resembles a DualShock, but includes sensors built-in to read skin moisture, heart rhythm, and muscle movement. Another concept (seen below) looks more like a Wii U GamePad, with its large touch screen.
It's clear that Sony is experimenting with a number of possibilities for their next-gen console. However, the company has yet to officially confirm their next-gen ambitions.

Vgperson has released another translated horror game made with RPG Maker.
http://vgboy.dabomstew.com/other/madfather.htm
You may be surprised with the true ending, but there are some hints in the game that show that such ending is not as weird as you think. These are the hints I found (big spoilers):
Spoiler, click to toggle visibilty
- There's a part in the game where you have to recreate a tale of a kid killing animals. Most likely, that's the father's past. Thing is, if you check the girl's closet after the curse kicks in, you will find out that she has animals in the closet, as the boy had in the tale. That seems to indicate that the daughter is probably doing the same as his father in the past, killing animals out of joy.
- You can find lots of white rabbits dead in a lab, and you can also "accidentaly" kill one in a barrel. Most likely, it shows that it's not the first rabbit she must have gotten, and that she may have killed the others.
- The fact that she finds normal to swing around a chainsaw, and the fact that she shows no hesitation of things like killing zombies or burning one of them (getting the idea from a book) could hint that she's not really normal. Sure, the player's the one doing that, but the fact is that there's nothing that indicates she hesitates to do that. You could also say that it's just a 11-years-old kid not thinking at all. I still think she's not normal.
- The way she reacts to his father madness seems really weird. She only complains about her father wanting to turn her into a doll, not the fact that she was the one that killed her mother and not the fact that he must have killed a lot of people. That's my interpretation, obviously.
After playing his third translated horror games, I think that Witch's House > Ib > Mad Father.

One of the only possible games that may make people to buy Wii U is Bayonetta 2, but honestly, I asked some fans of that game, and none are going to buy the Wii U just for Bayonetta 2. They're just waiting for a sudden release in other consoles, which is a wise thing to do even if it's possible that it may never happen. And that's the problem, if you release a console but the games available for you are not really worth buying then nobody is going to buy a console for just one or two games.

I sure hope that it comes out for NA or Europe. I really wanted a HD remake of KH. Chain of Memories... not so much, even though I only played the GBA version, I still don't like the card system which is used in both GBA and PS2 versions.

Swery explained he wants everyone that plays Deadly Premonition to get to the game’s ending, so he changed the difficulty in Deadly Premonition: The Director’s Cut. The PlayStation 3 version only has one difficulty setting and the enemy battles are easier.
No reason to get it then.

While the game is already out in Japan, Mega Man Xover isn’t headed to the U.S. in the near future, Capcom’s Senior Vice-President, Christian Svensson, revealed on the company’s forums this morning.
“Based upon the largely negative feedback from [Mega Man] fans, I’ve requested that we place any Americas release on hold for the time being,” Svensson shared in a forum post (http://www.capcom-unity.com/ask_capcom/go/thread/view/7371/29744249/so-xover&post_num=4#528588259). “We will revisit at a later date.”

Adding online co-op in paid DLC for a $10 downloadable game over two years after it launched is a curious move, but who can grumble when we'll get to beat up baddies with our chums in the charming Scott Pilgrim vs. The World? The multiplayer DLC is now slated to launch next week, on Xbox 360 at least, priced at $2 (160 MS Points).
The revelation comes from Xbox Live's Larry 'Major Nelson' Hryb (http://majornelson.com/2013/01/29/content-coming-soon-to-the-xbox-live-marketplace-23/). Yes, the same chap who previously pegged it for an August 2012 launch at $5 (http://www.shacknews.com/article/75178/scott-pilgrim-vs-the-world-getting-online-multiplayer-dlc). What fantastic twisting story must lie behind the development and release of this strange and wondrous DLC?
It's not just online multiplayer coming, oh no, as the DLC also adds Scott's roomie Wallace Wells as a playable character. The pack hits Xbox 360 on February 6. One imagines it'll launch on PlayStation 3 the day before, but publisher Ubisoft hasn't confirmed this.

I've got mixed feelings on account that SNK throughout it's entire lifespan didn't have a noteworthy presence on the PC barring a few ports of fighting games in the 90's. Ergo, this sudden change of heart seems rather suspicious and I wouldn't keep my hopes up too high for KoF debuting on Steam.

About that, you know, I was checking it out when it was being worked on like last year or whenever, but then, nothing. There was no topic that picked it up here, I visit very few forums and I saw nothing about it, nothing in stores either (since it turns out it's a digital release only)...

[avatar]http://i42.photobucket.com/albums/e315/Tiger_Stripe/danava_zps6228b992.png[/avatar]Notch backs out of funding Psychonauts 2, crushes dreams of billions.
Quote
Back in February, Notch set the world (or at least our little part of it) on fire when he reached out to Psychonauts creator Tim Schafer to say, "Let's make Psychonauts 2 happen." Was he serious? "I'm serious," he tweeted shortly thereafter.
A week later things got even more serious when Schafer claimed that Notch had expressed no reservations about a $13 million budget for the game. "As soon as I mentioned the amount of money he said, 'Yeah, I can do that'," Schafer said.
But now it seems that the ugliness of reality has set in and Notch is having second thoughts, not just about the money but about the effort involved in throwing around that kind of bankroll. "I somewhat naively thought 'a couple of million' was two million. I had no doubt in my mind that a Psychonauts 2 would earn that money back easily," he recently wrote on Reddit.
"Turns out they wanted 18 million dollars, haha. I don't have the time at the moment to even try to get educated enough to make an eighteen million dollar deal. Perhaps in some distant future when I'm no longer trying to make games, I could get into angel investing," he continued. "I've made one private investment into a game so far, at 100k, and it's frankly a lot more work than I thought."
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOTCH! How dare you raise my hopes only to shatter them under your blocky, poorly modeled boot?

Unless she's given DF a shitton of money to cover the budget gaps for Reds (aka Double Fine Adventure) - and I absolutely doubt that - it ain't being an OUYA-only game. I'll wait until Tim or any DF employee actually talks about that.
Edit: Oh wow, I hope all of VG24/7's articles aren't as fucking awful as that one. It's so vague with it wording that it made everyone think Reds was gonna be OUYA-only.
An excerpt from a similar Kotaku article said:
Most recent Double Fine games have come to home consoles, but Uhrman said Ouya would provide the only TV experience for the game. You'll also be able to play it on Android and iOS devices as well as PC, Mac and Linux.

New recruitable "troops" have been added in Disgaea Dimension 2, a female version of the heavy knight and a new monster. Plus other monsters gained new techniques.
A new art of fighting pachinko game is going to be released, considering how aof almost dissapeared from the map, I wodner if this at least means we might get more aof chars for the next kof (no pictures or links because the only thing out now is a pachinko aproval document in japanese, might post the apge of the actual game if someone shows interest).
AOF Pachinko game... yup... SNK is at a pretty bad situation. :(

Well, I don't mean to sound OPTIMISTIC! but
Being that SNKP was bought/saved by a pachinko company, it's only natural they'd want to keep that tradition. Also, what's so hard of making a single artist work on a few pieces over the course of a couple of months, if there's no gameplay involved?
The production cost of a pachinko game must be hella low IMO, unless I'm overlooking something obvious.

Last week, we reported on an announcement regarding long-anticipated downloadable content for Scott Pilgrim vs The World: The Game posted to the Tumblr of Scott Pilgrim creator Bryan Lee O'Malley which vanished into thin air as mysteriously as it appeared. The post in question had stated a release date of February 5th for the content, which is expected to add Wallace Wells as a playable character and implement online multiplayer.
Today, we've received word that the content has been delayed once again as Ubisoft sent us the following official statement:
The downloadable content for Scott Pilgrim vs. The World: The Game has been delayed for fine-tuning and to incorporate feedback from the passionate Scott Pilgrim community. Ubisoft is addressing feedback from the community on the best ways to honor retro games in the Scott Pilgrim vs. The World: The Game DLC in an accurate and respectful manner. Ubisoft, and the new team developing the DLC, respect creative properties and, of course, want to be sure to deliver a game experience that is a proper tribute to the Scott Pilgrim franchise.

New Batman Arkham game due this year (http://gematsu.com/2013/02/new-batman-arkham-game-due-this-year)
Quote
Warner Bros. is planning the release of a new Batman Arkham game this year, the publisher announced during its Q4 2012 financial results hearing.
“And we also have a strong games release this year, which will include the next release in the Batman Arkham franchise,” said Warner.
According to VG247 sources, Rocksteady Studios, the developer behind the critically acclaimed Batman: Arkham Asylum and Arkham City, is not developing this new title.
Last month, fifteen domain registrations were discovered to be registered by Warner as potential new Batman titles, including Batman: Arkham Universe and Batman: Arkham Arises.

The fact that new copies of System Shock 2 aren't available for purchase right now is absolutely outrageous. However, as Flesh Eating Zipper reports, that little injustice is about to be righted. Night Dive Studios, a slightly mysterious studio, has announced that they'll be bringing the classic sci-fi RPG to both GOG and Steam.
Now, there's no official announcement as to when it'll be coming to the platforms, but Flesh Eating Zipper says it'll be on GOG in just a few days. Well, this is a bit out of the blue. Not that I'm complaining. This will give us a legitimate way to try out that huge patch that came out a few months ago.
We've reached out to Night Dive Studios for comment, and we'll let you know what they've got to say.

How Aliens: Colonial Marines Fell Apart (http://kotaku.com/5984068/how-aliens-colonial-marines-fell-apart)
Quote
Aliens: Colonial Marines is a bad game, by most accounts. Reviewers have almost all trashed it, fans don't seem to like it, and the final product looks nothing like the impressive demo that developer Gearbox showed last year.
So how did it happen? Although the full picture isn't quite clear yet, over the past few days we've heard that the six-year development process for Aliens: Colonial Marines was tumultuous and divisive, a product of multiple studios with conflicting visions. And it shows in the resulting game.
According to one person familiar with the project who spoke to Kotaku under condition of anonymity, Gearbox outsourced the bulk of Colonial Marines (codenamed Pecan) to a studio called TimeGate, most recently responsible for the shooter Section 8 and its sequel.
This comes on the heels of a massive Reddit post that's been making the rounds today from someone claiming to work at Gearbox. Although we can't confirm that the Reddit post is credible, everything we've heard from our source matches up.
The Redditor said TimeGate left the single-player campaign in "a pretty horrid state," and that last September after Borderlands 2 shipped, Gearbox was unhappy with what TimeGate had left them. Sega was already upset with Gearbox for asking for multiple extensions since the project launched in 2006, so Gearbox had to buckle down and release a game they knew wasn't going to be very good, the Redditor said.
The post on Reddit matches what our source has told us, but there's more. When TimeGate took over the project, our source said, they threw out most of what Gearbox had done beforehand. All of the art and design that Gearbox had produced during the previous four years was gone.
So from 2010 until late last year, while Gearbox was working on Borderlands 2 (internally codenamed "Willow 2"), TimeGate handled the bulk of development on Aliens. A small team at Gearbox helped out with multiplayer work, as explained by both our source and the Redditor, but TimeGate built the single-player campaign.
In late 2012, when Gearbox saw what TimeGate had done, most of their developers weren't interested in taking the game back, our source said. Gearbox's team was upset that their work had been thrown out, and they didn't want this to be a repeat of Duke Nukem Forever, a game that took over a decade to develop until it was finally finished by Gearbox and released in mid-2011 to tepid response.
But Gearbox had to finish the game, and according to our source, they had to throw out much of TimeGate's work and start from scratch. This lines up with what the Redditor claims:
Quote
Campaign didn't make much sense, the boss fights weren't implemented, PS3 was way over memory, etcetcetc. GBX was pretty unhappy with TG's work, and some of Campaign maps were just completely redesigned from scratch. There were some last minute feature requests, most notably female marines, and the general consensus among GBX devs was that there was no way this game was going to be good by ship. There just wasn't enough time.
Considering that SEGA was pretty close to taking legal action against GBX, asking for an extension wasn't an option, and so Pecan crash-landed through certification and shipping. Features that were planned were oversimplified, or shoved in (a good example of this are challenges, which are in an incredibly illogical order). Issues that didn't cause 100% blockers were generally ignored, with the exception of absolutely horrible problems. This isn't because GBX didn't care, mind you. At a certain point, they couldn't risk changing ANYTHING that might cause them to fail certification or break some other system. And so, the product you see is what you get.
People at Gearbox knew the bad reviews were coming, our source said. They knew that the game wasn't good.
We've reached out to Gearbox, but they would not comment on the record. However, in a recent interview with IGN, Gearbox head Randy Pitchford said that TimeGate handled development "probably about 20 or 25 percent of the total time," and that "if you take preproduction out of it, their effort's probably equivalent to ours. Now, it's not fair to take preproduction out of it, but that says a lot about how much horsepower those guys put into it."
Pitchford's statements also seem to match up with what we've heard.
We reached out to TimeGate this afternoon, but they have yet to get back to us. We'll continue to update as we hear more.

Demos and fabricated screens for stuff that was either changed or removed completely without any idea to know they did and they held back review scores until day of release and gearbox tried to go off and pawn all the problems that plagued this title on people they outsoucred a few things too, when in reality this is them who put their name on it and said "yes, we can totally ship this".

Funny, was introducing a friend to Destiny not too long ago today. Didn't know about a new vidDoc. (Would help if I had sound)
Still iffy on the whole magic users in militarized sci-fi setting, never really sits too well for me, and the character designs thus far are....well, bland. Normal dime-a-dozen space marines, nothing standing out yet. But the artwork for the landscapes looks great, and I trust Bungie can make it look all the more better in game.
Also, learned today that Paul McCartney's working with Marty O’Donnell on the game's soundtrack. I will be disappointed if there is no yellow submarine or a character named Lucy who calls The Traveler "Diamond" somewhere in the MMO.
Curious what ties Destiny will hold to Marathon, Oni and Halo. And how many 7's they can fit into that game.

Well then, an awful lot of people were certainly waiting for more of The Longest Journey. Creator Ragnar Tørnquist's crowdfunding campaign seeking $850,000 to conclude the trilogy with Dreamfall Chapters: The Longest Journey has passed 90% of that goal in only one week, prompting the release of some prototype gameplay footage and the revelation of stretch goals.
When it passes $900,000, as it surely will, developer Red Thread Games will commit (http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/redthread/dreamfall-chapters-the-longest-journey/posts) to Mac and Linux versions on top of PC. At $950k, they'll add the Great Library of Marcuria, a librarian character, and great stacks of papers and books with oodles of lore for lorelords to pore over. The big million mark will bring more quests, characters, locations, and other jazz. Beyond that, well, we'll find out when the crowdfunding juggernaut smashes those goals.
If you'd like to pledge to the Kickstarter (http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/redthread/dreamfall-chapters-the-longest-journey), at least $25 will get you a copy of the finished game, which is estimated to launch in November 2014. Paying more gets you shinier rewards, as ever.
As for the gameplay footage, well, it's a load of snippets recorded off someone's monitor. But it does look quite pretty:

aof 1 yuri I think, there has never been anything hinting ryo liking a woman other than king.
They might be updating the character voices, they already did for some chars (mai), I hope this finances at least another kof, if not a new aof game, I have been wanting them to do a fighting game in the visual style of most of their pachinko games, which is like arksys shading with classic kof proportions.

But Mai just happened because her VA retired, right?
Maybe, I think I remember that being mentioned, but I can't find any sources on it and her career seems to be only mai.
yep, retired, a shallower search turned up better results.

[avatar]http://i42.photobucket.com/albums/e315/Tiger_Stripe/discordlicious.png[/avatar]Sony gives $10 to some PSN members, but not all.
Quote
Some loyal PSN users are finding a nice little thank you note in their inboxes this morning, along with $10 worth of PSN credit.
February 20 is the big day for Sony, when it will (hopefully) announce the Playstation 4. In what seems like a move to help celebrate that, Sony is giving loyal Playstation Network customers a small gift of Playstation Store credit. Some lucky PSN users found the following message, along with $10 worth of PSN credit in their inboxes recently:
Thank you for being a loyal customer and fan of the Playstation Network. As a token of our appreciation, we've sent you $10.00 to spend in the Playstation Store! Click the link on below to redeem your credit.
There are conflicting reports on just how "loyal" of a customer you have to be order to receive the gift, with some people who recently spent as little as ten dollars getting it while others who have spent hundreds of dollars not getting anything. The only criteria we know for sure is that you have to have spent some money recently in the Playstation Store.
I got my money, anyone else get it? Also: What's good on PSN for $10?

Diablo III is coming to PS4 and PS3
Quote
Hey everyone,
Now that Diablo’s out of the bag, I just want to say that we’re stoked to be bringing Diablo III over to PlayStation. We got our start in console games, and a bunch of us, myself included, have been looking forward to this day for a very long time.
We’re putting a lot of work into doing Diablo III right for PS3 and PS4. All of the upgrades we’ve made to the PC version since launch will be included. On top of that, we’re completely redeveloping the interface, controls, and camera so that the traditional Diablo hack-and-slash, loot-collecting, dungeon-crawl feels natural and fun with a controller in your hands.
I know a lot of people will have a lot of questions about the game, and we look forward to getting into all of that as development progresses. For now, I just want to say thanks to all of you who kept pushing us to get back to console, and please come check out the game at PAX East if you’re in Boston in late March.

I'm curious. The skills and everything would work fine, but how the hell do you manage your inventory?
Even though I have this on PC and barely play it, I'm curious to see how they pull it off. If they do a good job and let me use the same account on both consoles, I may even pick it up.

Bethesda has officially announced QuakeCon 2013, with the massive bring-you-own-computer event returning to Dallas this year on August 1-4. Perhaps this will be the year when Doom 4 comes out of "Bethesda mode."
No details are available yet, other than a special room rate is available at the Hilton Anatole, where the convention has been held for the last several years.
Last year's event offered some interesting revelations, including the first look at a John Carmack's VR headset held together with hot glue and duct tape. Carmack was an early proponent of the Oculus Rift VR project.

I called sony and waited forever and they gave me another number to call so I could wait again. Finally got a hold of someone who said the ban was because I was trying to hack someone's account o_O. But it had no information, no usernames to be the hackie, nothing to indicate the reason. He said he didn't know what happened and unbanned me.

Avalanche Software has been dropping teaser images for its next game, which looks suspiciously similar to Just Cause 2. The latest has a man clad in garb similar to Rico Rodriguez jumping from a plane, which would be incredibly dangerous if not for a parachute. As Just Cause players know, Rico has plenty of those.
The teaser image (http://instagram.com/p/WPwBJvpwlb/) from studio founder Christofer Sundberg (via Joystiq (http://www.joystiq.com/2013/02/28/avalanche-teases-just-cause-3-announcement/)). Two weeks ago, Sundberg released a similar teaser image (http://instagram.com/p/VrXdz6JwtU/) of the character on a bike. A follow-up (https://twitter.com/CHSundberg/status/306861789323337729) from the studio head implies that this is building to an E3 reveal, which is pretty far away to start the drum-beat this early.
The smart money seems to be on Just Cause 3, but one other possibility has been proposed. This could be the long-rumored Mad Max (http://www.shacknews.com/article/51737/mad-max-game-coming-from) game that had been reportedly in development at Avalanche until last year. Then again, Mad Max is all about a post-apocalyptic future where gasoline is scarce, and airplanes aren't exactly fuel-efficient.

Have you pledged money to the Dreamfall Chapters: The Longest Journey crowdfunding campaign yet? Yes? Then you'll be thrilled by this new trailer for Ragnar Tørnquist's conclusion to the adventure game trilogy. No? Then perhaps this'll win you over. Or not. Whatever. Watch it, if you want. The game's smashing through stretch goals like nobody's business so it doesn't particularly need your help, but it'd still like it.
The trailer explains Dreamfall's premise, of two worlds and the people who can flit between them or exist in both. And has bits of pretty in-game-ish footage. It was released exclusive to IGN last week but now we all get to do as we jolly well please with it.
Developer Red Thread Games sought $850,000 on Kickstarter to make the game, and hit that in just over a week. With five days left, the campaign's sitting at around $1,175,000, having hit stretch goals to add new locations, characters, and lore dumps, improve the music and graphics, and add Mac and Linux versions. The next, at $1,125k, is for German and French translations.
Pledging at least $25 will get you a copy of the game when it's finished.

It won't be much longer until a few lucky gamers will get a chance to try out an early version of the "Steam Box"--Valve's foray into TV-connected hardware. According to Valve head Gabe Newell, the company plans on "giving out some prototypes to customers to get their reactions in the next three to four months."
Assuming Valve Time doesn't strike, of course.
Speaking to the BBC (via Polygon), Newell said that "we're working with partners, trying to nail down how fast we can make it," adding that "the main thing that's holding us up right now is that we have a couple of different controller prototypes."
Valve has been working on a number of different control schemes, and has been very interested in biometric sensors. Newell said that a game like Left 4 Dead could benefit from biometrics by allowing for dynamic gaming based on player feedback. "If you don't change the experience based on what the player is experiencing, it stops being a horror game," he said.
While the Steam Box is still a bit of a mystery, Newell says that it won't be particularly surprising when it comes out. "Your average gamer has a pretty good idea of what it will be like," he said, pointing out that the device simply allows for your PC games to easily play on your TV.

The game will be primarily played in first-person and will center around a mechanic called Focus. This operates like a "detective mode," highlighting walls you can climb, lights to extinguish and fingerprints that need scrutinising You can also trigger Focus to slow down time while pickpocketing.

That's actually the most exciting game news I've heard so far this year. I've been wishing MS or someone would just do an upgraded version of AOE2 with a return to multi-player support! As long as they don't try and tie it into that GFWL and leave it to Steam.
Other than that my only wish would be that they add some more functions to the level editor so things like leveling units isn't a brutally tedious task.
Love me some AOE2 though and it'll be good to once again wreck some War Elephants with my crew of Teutonic Knights!

Less than a week after an intriguing Deus Ex trademark turned out to be the movie title, Square Enix seems destined to toy with our emotions again. The company has registered another set of Deus Ex domain names, this time subtitled "The Fall."
Superannuation spotted three domain registrations: DeusExTheFall.com, and its equivalent .net and .co.uk variations. These domains are all registered to Square Enix Limited, as opposed to last week's registrations that ended up being credited to CBS Films. That seems to imply a game, but it could just as easily be some kind of tie-in like a novelization. We'll update as more information becomes available.

it got stale to most and activision oversaturated the market with guitar hero games. they released guitar hero metallica, smash hits, 5 and band hero all in one year, with very limited options of exporting and sharing dlc between the games. this doesn't count mobile and portable versions. harmonix had the right idea by making a lot of dlc instead, which is probably why rock band survived much longer than guitar hero.
what i don't get is dance central's dlc dying. maybe they're developing a new dance game for the new xbox

Nearly three years after its release, Scott Pilgrim vs The World is finally getting online multiplayer. A piece of downloadable content will add the long-awaited feature tomorrow when the PlayStation Store updates. The $4.99 DLC also adds Wallace Wells as a playable character.
The PlayStation.Blog announced the impending arrival, along with word that PlayStation Plus members will get a 20% discount on both the DLC and the updated "Ultimate Edition" of the game. That deal lasts through March 26.
Xbox 360 will finally be getting the content this week as well. It was previously announced to be coming in early February, but never surfaced. Major Nelson later tweeted confirming its appearance on Live.
Ragnar Tørnquist and Red Thread Games were clearly getting enough money to make Dreamfall Chapters, as its crowdfunding campaign rocketed out the gate and hit its $850,000 target in about a week, but how many stretch goals could it hit? Funding wrapped up over the weekend at $1,538,425--180% of the goal and just enough to make the adventure game as a 'Director's Cut.' Planned features it trimmed or cut to make the basic budget viable will now be added back in.
"Just...wow. Thank you, from the bottom of our hearts. We are grateful and humbled, inspired by your support and belief in this project and in us," Tørnquist said. "Now it's our turn to deliver."
The trilogy-concluding adventure game sailed past numerous stretch goals, so it'll also boast Mac and Linux versions, loads of in-game lore and a library to read it in, new characters and locations, a return to the House of All Worlds from The Longest Journey, an interactive graphic novel, an improved soundtrack, French and German versions, more voice-overs and, just barely, the Director's Cut.
"The Director's Cut, of course, adds back all the content we had to cut for cost reasons, along with a director's commentary of the game," Red Thread explained. "With a bigger budget, we can hire more people and we can bring back the locations, characters, puzzles and conversations that were left on the cutting room floor."
Dreamfall Chapters is slated to arrive on PC, Mac and Linux in November 2014.

I thought they'd already done Drakengard 3. They called it Nier.
Nier is Drakengard 2 as far as I'm (and a few others from what I gather) concerned. The game that came out with that number and title was pretty much a different game with "Drakengard 2" slapped on.
And I'm excited about this, I was a huge fan of the original game. Posted: March 13, 2013, 04:58:40 am The original team is working on it too. (http://www.siliconera.com/2013/03/12/original-drakengardnier-team-reunites-for-drakengard-3/) Yeahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.

Or basically, that he has eight-grade-syndrome. But honestly, it's like with Phoenix, they make him look cool in those images, but in the game expect to see him failing and putting monkey faces like in the Apollo game.

LOL They lied about offline play being impossible? Oh come on. Hmm, maybe they did that to stop the piracy of their product?
Nah...piracy is the games industry enemy of the past..now they try to eliminate the second hand market as well + shorten the "lifetime" of a product to the time the servers are running. EA is killing online play for a lot games after 12-18 months already but they did it mostly with sport titles, an always online simcity game would probably get shut after 3-4 years after the sequel is out. I bet a lot game companies want to establish that model.

Most likely, and I hope this is what happens, KHII and KHBBS will be playable, while the Coded game will only be about cutscenes, like KH365. Taking into account that the majority of Coded was about repeating KHI but with some events changed, I wouldn't mind it, honestly.

Looks like PETA's at it again http://teksyndicate.com/node/134868
Quote
PETA loves attacking video games. They have gone after Mario, Pokemon, etc. Now they are after Assassin's Creed. Here is their statement:
Whaling—that is, shooting whales with harpoons and leaving them to struggle for an hour or more before they die or are hacked apart while they are still alive—may seem like something out of the history books, but this bloody industry still goes on today in the face of international condemnation, and it's disgraceful for any game to glorify it. PETA encourages video game companies to create games that celebrate animals—not games that promote hurting and killing them.
And the response from Ubisoft:
History is our playground in Assassin's Creed. Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag is a work of fiction that depicts the real events during the Golden Era of Pirates. We do not condone illegal whaling, just as we don't condone a pirate lifestyle of poor hygiene, plundering, hijacking ships, and over-the-legal-limit drunken debauchery.
And even if the game does glorify whaling — as it certainly glorifies the life of a pirate — I don't think it will lead to a generation of gamers who head to the Caribbean to hunt down humpbacks. Just as I don't think anyone who played the previous Assassin's Creed games have found employment as a murderer for hire.
Ubissoft's response was just glorious.

[avatar]http://i42.photobucket.com/albums/e315/Tiger_Stripe/discorduseethis_zps4ee97f62.png[/avatar]The saddest thing is that that isn't the stupidest video game related thing about PETA I've heard this week:
Quote
People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals have asked video gamers to remember that pan-galactic alien death monsters "have feelings, too".
In a PR stunt timed to match the launch of StarCraft II: Heart of the Swarm, the animal rights group has printed leaflets calling on gamers to spare the lives of the nightmarish Zergling army.
In StarCraft lore, the Zerg are an insect-like race beset on conquering the galaxy.
But just as they warned last year that capturing Pokemon was actually indicative of a hatred of animals, PETA argue that gamers "should have compassion for all beings—even those who are very different from us".
At the midnight release of the game in California, PETA apparently handed out the leaflets and urged gamers to spare their digital lives - or at least rethink how they treat their actual animals and pets.
In a blog post, PETA said:
"So remember, while Zerglings are not real, there are many equally "strange" and exotic animals we share this planet with who deserve our empathy. Just because crocodiles and snakes look alien to us, that doesn't make it OK to skin them alive for a handbag, shoes, or a belt. And if we had to share our world with the Zerg in reality, I'd like to think that we'd make an effort to understand and respect them rather than sending out the battlecruisers—because the alternative to having empathy for other beings is about as grim as it gets, whether you're a Terran, a Zerg, or a Protoss."
Honestly at this point I think PETA has become a self parody. I mean, look at how they wrote a passage on a freaking fictional alien race! As if Pokemon Black and Blue having a little too much visible knowledge about the source material wasn't enough to convince me that there's something more to PETA's stupidity than meets the eye...

That was actually mentioned in the article I posted.

This wasn’t an ambiguity he further cleared up. It was one that surprised Azzer too. “A thread I made detailing all of the modding work (and clearing up any mis-information too) on the EA forums was deleted within 30 minutes of posting (after 3 pages of replies).” But despite Reynolds’ stating an apparent distinction between hacks and mods, the baby and the bathwater have been thrown out of the EA forums. (You can read Azzer’s deleted thread here (http://pastie.org/6506929).)
“Hours later,” continues Azzer, “a new sticky thread appeared saying no mod talk was allowed any more.” Just how strictly is this being moderated, the modder wondered. So he started a thread titled, “Mods and rockers”, discussing the 1960s British music culture. “Just to see if they were deleting threads without even looking at the content.”
Were they? “It was deleted within thirty seconds of posting. Yes, I was obviously asking for a deletion with that thread title – but I giggled anyway.”

On the game’s website, Capcom have introduced the new heroine of Ace Attorney 5, Kizuki Kokone, along with some new info on Apollo Justice and a glimpse at new cases and investigations we’ll be seeing in the near future.
Kizuki Kokone:
Kokone is the newest addition to the Wright Anything Agency, and studied law in the United States. She’s a girl who is full of emotions and hates to lose. Her special ability of being able to use to a witness’ emotions by listening to their “Heart’s Testimony”.
Her strong emotions can sometimes be her weakness as it can occasionally cause her to be reckless when things get heated. Her goal is to become a lawyer who can solve cases by listening to the hearts of others.
Kokone’s ability is known as the ‘Heart Scope’. By Using the Heart Scope feature, you’ll be able to listen to the witness’ heart and get the truth out of any contradictory statements and lies.
She uses a screen that appears floating in thin air to use the Heart Scope, followed by a monitor check on what the wintess’ heart has to say. While using the Heart Scope, you’ll also hear noises mixed in with the testimonies.
As useful as the Heart Scope feature may seem, it won’t get the truth out of the witnesses on its own. This is where your skills will come into play, as you’ll have to reduce the noise level in order to hear the truth. On the screen you’ll see a mix of testimonies and emotions.
The four faces showing different emotion will be the key of figuring out whether there are contradictions mixed with the testimonies. It will be up to you to point out any noticeable emotional differences. Once you’ve successfully cleared the Heart Scope, the noise level will go to 0%, giving you a new fact for the case.
Apollo Justice
As previously reported, Apollo is back and is looking more gallant than ever. He’s seen with a bandage wrapped around his right eye and both arms but it is still unknown as to just what caused the injuries.
Ace Attorney 5’s website points out that the jacket he has around his shoulders hasn’t been seen before. Could it have something to do with his upcoming case?
No other information on Apollo has been provided yet.
Additionally, the site also shows off 3D investigations. Up until now, the Ace Attorney series have all been in 2D. With a new 3D look, all the characters and cases will all be presented in 3D in Ace Attorney 5.
The courtroom isn’t the only part that’s getting the 3D treatment, as the adventure parts will also be seen in 3D.
When you’re in a room full of potential clues such as this one, you’ll start out by looking left and right around the room. Check out any suspicious looking spots to see if there’s anything out of the ordinary.
The 3D investigations can help you see new clues thanks to the added depth. For example, the table in the above image. What may have normally looked like a plain table, actually turned out to have a bomb hidden right beneath! There will be many other moments where 3D investigating will come in handy to find what you’re looking for.

EA CEO John Riccitiello Steps Down Larry Probst temporarily taking over. by Mitch Dyer March 18, 2013
Electronic Arts' John Riccitiello is stepping down as chief executive officer. He submitted his resignation to EA's board of directors today. Effective March 30, former EA president and CEO Larry Probst will step in as executive chairman while the company searches for a replacement.
"We appreciate John's leadership and the many important strategic initiatives he has driven for the Company," Probst said. "We have mutually agreed that this is the right time for a leadership transition."
Riccitiello addressed his departure directly in a blog. "My decision to leave EA is really all about my accountability for the shortcomings in our financial results this year," he said. "It currently looks like we will come in at the low end of, or slightly below, the financial guidance we issued to the Street, and we have fallen short of the internal operating plan we set one year ago. And for that, I am 100 percent accountable."
EA's earnings have been on the decline, and the company recently faced numerous layoffs as well.
In a press release statement, Riccitiello said, ""EA is an outstanding company with creative and talented employees, and it has been an honor to serve as the Company's CEO. I am proud of what we have accomplished together, and after six years I feel it is the right time for me pass the baton and let new leadership take the Company into its next phase of innovation and growth. I remain very optimistic about EA's future — there is a world class team driving the Company's transition to the next generation of game consoles."
When IGN inquired for additional context from EA, a representative stated, "We’re not going to comment beyond the publicly released material."
Riccitiello served as CEO since 2007.

Not worth even putting their Facebook link. The poster there needs more triple dots and emotes to make it sound convincing, almost as if he knows the fanbases of both ArcSys and Persona will let it slide despite waiting that long for a freaking NA port.
I hope support for this game drops post-EVO and sales to plummet following this release. Least grant them a discount towards PSN Persona titles, a discount voucher for BBCP, or grant them a month full of free DLC, not Photoshopped Render cards.
Also Atlus still hasn't responded to the PSN port being region locked without a notice. People will get the wrong idea, and end up tossing $30 away.

A new Strider—or possibly a high-definition update—may be in development for digital platforms.
An image of a new Strider box art was discovered on the official Xbox website. It’s since been removed.
Adding more fuel to the fire, a new achievement featuring an image of series protagonist Strider Hiryu also popped up on the Steam registry.
Capcom is announcing two new games at PAX East in Boston on Friday. Perhaps this new Strider is one of them?

Meanwhile, with the KH game no one cares about: http://kh13.com/news/35520-square-enix-channel-reveals-hd-1-5-remix-%cf%87-chi-details
KH13 said:
KH Key - When the 'key' in 'keyblade' is written as χ, it refers to the χblade, the original keyblade mentioned in previous games such as BBS - Everyone in KH Key isn't running around with χblades; their keyblades are people-made, though Kando would liken them to 'cheap versions' rather than fakes - Players in KH Key each serve as heroes with their own keyblades - As it's a little difficult to translate the world of the action-RPG series into something suitable for a PC browser game, the world of this game is more like a fairy tale than directly like the world of Kingdom Hearts that Sora and Riku appear in - They went with mouse click commands rather than the same sort of controller-based play in other games in the series because of the nature of the platform - Inside the world of the game, your goal is to collect light called 'Lux'. People have been divided into five large groups which are struggling over the light. The player is collecting light as a member of one of these, and we will see which one comes out on top - To collect light you search different Disney worlds while defeating Heartless - There is raw material scattered around that you can collect to strengthen your keyblade - As things stand right now, they aren't planning to have player-on-player battles, it's more aimed at calling people over to co-operate - There might be patches and updates with new features - The biggest thing they are working on are boss raids, where you form a team and race other teams to see who can defeat a gigantic boss first etc (the hosts note that the bonus battle support sets would be useful here!) - The game is free to play and should be simple enough for any KH fan (or Disney/FF fan who is interested in the setting) who isn't familiar with browser games to try - There are a huge number of cards to collect (one host will try his hardest to get a Tifa card!) - Keep an eye on the KH portal site for updates - They are working really hard to make something fun for everyone so please look forward to it!
Might give it a go. Not sure though.

Well, then. Good to know Europe is going to get P4 Arena now... 10 months later. Didn't Zen United also have issues with other ArcSys games in terms of distribution in Europe?

Durango leak shows that all games are required to be installed (http://www.ign.com/articles/2013/03/20/xbox-durango-requires-all-games-to-be-installed)
Quote
Rumors about an anti-used game system in the next Xbox -- codenamed Durango -- have swirled for some time now. Vgleaks posted a number of screenshots today (http://www.vgleaks.com/durango-xdk/), reportedly displaying information contained in the Durango Xbox Development Kit (XDK). The screens, which IGN sources have verified as accurate, confirm a number of rumored features of the next-generation Microsoft console, including a new high-fidelity Kinect sensor. But perhaps a troubling revelation for used game purchasers, the documentation includes a rather blunt reference to mandatory game installs.
"Every Durango console will have a hard drive, although its exact capacity has not been chosen," reads help documentation in the Durango XDK. "It will be large enough, however, to hold a large number of games. All games will be installed on the hard drive. Play from the optical disc will not be supported."
The documentation goes on to state Durango games will be distributed on Blu-ray discs, but the discs are purely used as a means to install data, and will not be read during gameplay. Also of note: the Durango will feature "Always On, Always Connected" online connectivity. Whether Microsoft will use the always-on functionality as a means of DRM is unclear; the documentation only mentions background updates, similar to those announced for the PlayStation 4.
Such a system could spell big trouble for used game retailers like GameStop, and even larger issues for gamers who depend upon the lower cost of second-hand discs.

In HD. HD on a next gen console with what appears to be a makeover on the models? Atleast let it be VI or IX (Seriously I need FFIX HD in my life.) but X? I'm appalled.
Also what's the confirmation on FFV and FFVII having any kind of remake planned? I mean it would make sense, but for FFV I can picture them just doing some kind of handheld/phone exclusive remake with new sprites.

FF5 is coming on iOS or Android or whatever, I forgot which one. It's redrawn crisp and clean in a similar way as 1 and 2. As for 7, they said something along the lines of, "if we remake 7, it'll be like admitting that we can't do a better new game anymore, so only when we have created a new FF that surpasses 7, only then we will remake 7 in HD/whatever like Crisis Core or Advent Children". There's no reason to doubt 6 won't come some day, just not now, but since we're at 5 already, 6 should be next. I wouldn't expect 8 and 9 to get much attention for a while. Although since they're on 10 and even 10-2, maybe 9 is getting closer. I suppose they jumped to 10 because they thought, we can't do that right now without failing too much expectation, so why not. 6 would get a lot more attention so they'll have to do that right.
Also, 10 HD is not for next gen, it's for current gen, PS3 and PSVita. 1, 2, 3 and 4 were also for current gen at the time (except handheld - but then again, PS3 for these would have been way overkill). I wonder if they hope to redo 6 in 2D or in 3D, or even in 3D like FF3&4 or in 3D HD like 10 or with Crisis Core-like models.

HD remasters are completely different from HD remake. Remastering PS2 games into HD are rather easy. That's why you see loads of PS2 HD collections over the years.
For VII, VIII and IX to be in HD they'd have to completely remake them entirely from scratch.

Post by: DKDC on March 22, 2013, 09:25:29 pm
But then again that's exactly what they did for 3 and 4 in 3D :P Of course there's a lot less textures and it's simplistic 3D, but it's still pretty much doing a new game from scratch. Doing that in HD is "only" a matter of putting more work in the art and modeling. For 9 they'd really only have to redo the character models and the textures of the backgrounds, the environment (modeling of the towns and everything) can stay the same I suppose. Yeah, it's going to build up expectations just waiting to know if they'll redo 6 or 9 first, now that they pulled 10 out of the blue...

Either I've known that already or I have great intuition regarding FF5, and I said next-gen referring to the PS3.
FF6 would probably be done in 2D but if they did decide on making a 3D version they better carefully pick their voice acting choices.

Well of course I know that, but the screenshot portrays that the models were redone, they might just be portraying better resolution but if that's the case than that is shameful marketing by not capturing an accurate side-by-sidecomparison. I almost can't help but feel like if we can get new models then maybe that effort should've been put to the test with a full PS1 remake for PS3.

The first of two new weapons introduced at PAX East was the Inflato-Ray, a gun that blows up the heads of enemies and citizens until it inevitably explodes. The second, and perhaps the most important, was the Dubstep Gun, a music-based weapon which fires a blast of dubstep that causing to dance and cars to bounce.

Grasshopper Manufacture head discusses the GungHo team-up and his as-yet-unnamed new game (http://www.polygon.com/2013/3/27/4152060/grasshopper-manufacture-head-discusses-the-gungho-teamup-and-his-as)
Quote
*There's a lot more content up here.*
...
For GungHo, part of the motivation for the deal also lay in the fact that Grasshopper had experience with console development and the Unreal Engine, both things that Morishita wanted to see his outfit get more into. "If our creators can work closely in tandem with each other, then we don't have to worry about putting limits on the possibilities involved," he added. "We're not setting out to just make pretty, high-spec graphics; we just don't want to give up on something we want to make because we don't have the technical knowledge. We aren't seeking that much synergy with everything, though. Really, how much fun stuff we can get out of this is the important thing."
(Suda was quick to note that Killer Is Dead (above), announced January and due for U.S. release by Xseed Games, is still coming out as scheduled. "There's Killer Is Dead and another title we haven't announced yet," he said, "but I think it's the new Grasshopper Manufacture's highest priority to get these titles completed and made into the best games they can. So hopefully I can put concerns about that to rest.")
So what is Grasshopper and GungHo working on, exactly? Suda and Morishita showed off a few concept renders for a new title in the Famitsu interview, revealing environments that resemble a near-future slum with some Asian elements.
"Yusuke Kozaki, who's been working with us ever since No More Heroes, drew these," Suda explained. "This is the new Grasshopper's first title, so we're having him really nail down the art-related stuff first here. I suppose it's become darker and more strongly flavored as we've gone through concept meetings with it, to the point where I wondered if it was really okay to go forward with some of this stuff. Normally, by this point, I'd have someone saying to me 'Hold on, don't go that way, that's not good marketing-wise.'"
The concept art also revealed a young woman carrying a sword-perhaps little surprise, given the nature of Grasshopper's past output. "One of our goals here is to have a main character of the sort that hasn't really appeared before in games, or in action games," Suda said. "I think we've achieved that from a pretty early point. The base of the game will be centered around slashing action, which our company is good at, but I'd also like to take advantage of GungHo's power and knowledge that we didn't have before. We're taking full consideration of online and offline aspects as we work on this."
The as-yet-unnamed title is being produced for consoles, although neither Suda nor Morishita would comment on which current or next-gen ones they're considering. The game's release won't be that far in the future, however: "We have a general idea of when we want to release it," Morishita said, "but we aren't putting anything in stone yet. We want to take the time to polish this game as much as possible, to the point where the quality is such that this game is 100-percent fun to people."
"I think we'll have more to show by the fall," Suda added, "so I hope you'll look forward to it!"
Looks No More Heroes related since the girl with the umbrella looks like Shinobu. (http://i.imgur.com/aYjL3EN.jpg)(http://i.imgur.com/3JhtZ7x.jpg)(http://i.imgur.com/kcsK0oE.jpg)

It was one of course but it was also the only Sengoku Basara ever released under that name (and with the original SB story) outside Japan.
Its upgrade SB 3 Utage as example was sadly not released in the west as well. SB3 did not sell well in the west too so its probably not that likely that we get SB4

Wth, games that are activated by using the bathroom.
Delightful murder simulator Hotline Miami was never supposed to receive a sequel, so we should be jolly grateful that its planned DLC ended up morphing into one. But after that, developer Dennaton Games says, that's it. No more. It'll bow out murdering men in the early nineties then after that, you'll need to satisfy any head-stomping urges yourself.
The sequel will run with parallel plots in the early 90s, developers Jonatan Söderström and Dennis Wedin Joystiq at GDC, including a non-playable appearance by the original's protagonist 'Jacket'.
It'll apparently also give more attention to emotional experiences, Joystiq says. Touchy-feely emotional experiences rather than cutty-stabby ones, we imagine they mean.
Some bands from the original's lovely soundtrack will return, and new ones will cycle in.
The duo also teased that the sequel may launch simultaneously on Vita, as the folks behind the original's Vita port can start on the sequel "right away." They're talking with Sony.
"It's the grand finale, for us," Wedin said. Given that they'd planned to move onto something new entirely after Hotline Miami, yes, certainly, thank you.

Shin Megami Tensei IV Coming To North America This Summer (http://www.siliconera.com/2013/04/02/shin-megami-tensei-iv-coming-to-north-america-this-summer/)

Shin Megami Tensei IV is headed to North America, as Siliconera teased earlier this evening. (Congratulations to those of you that guessed right—although no one figured out our “Magi Event” anagram for Megaten IV!) The game is slated for release this Summer and will cost $50.
Shin Megami Tensei IV takes place in the Eastern Kingdom of Mikado and in Tokyo. You play as a member of the Samurai—a group with the ability to control demons using special gauntlets equipped with the demon summoning program. You can view the game’s official website here.

Gaist Crusher Is A Major New I.P. From Capcom (http://www.siliconera.com/2013/04/01/gaist-crusher-is-a-major-new-i-p-from-capcom/)
Quote
Capcom are jumping aboard the cross-media project train with a brand new I.P. for the Nintendo 3DS. Gaist Crusher is a “custom armour action” game with a focus on armours, transformations and collecting. The publisher released a debut trailer for the game today, and you can watch it below:
The Gaist Crusher project will span games, manga, anime, music and toys, and is part of a major Capcom project to develop content suitable for school kids. Since the number of children in Japan is declining, Capcom plan to establish Gaist Crusher as a new brand for elementary age school boys and release a continuous slate of content for it.
Gaist Crusher, Capcom say, will draw on two of the company’s strengths. The first is their expertise in producing content for kids, which they gained from developing the Mega Man games. The second is their experience with multiplayer games from the Monster Hunter series.
Gaist Crusher will have manga series running in Shueisha’s V Jump and Saikyou Jump magazines, and an anime series produced by Pierrot Co., Ltd. This mixed media strategy is something other Japanese publishers have been pursuing of late, too. Level 5 with Inazuma Eleven and The Little Battlers, Marvelous AQL with KAIO: King of Pirates, and Square Enix with Gyrozetter.
Gaist Crusher is slated for release in Winter 2013 for the Nintendo 3DS.

DFO NA Closing down (http://dungeonfighter.nexon.net/News/Content.aspx?boardNo=200&contentNo=00Ftx&pageIndex=1)
Quote
Dear Dungeon Fighters,
In 2009, Nexon America was proud to release one of Nexon’s unique and most popular titles, Dungeon Fighter Online (DFO). Since the launch, Neople’s development team and Nexon America’s publishing team partnered to bring to you the action packed promise of DFO.
For more than three years, our teams worked hard in hopes of building a strong community through new content updates, service fixes, and events. We tirelessly battled hackers and farmers. We even had the honor of presenting the game to you at E3 and PAX. However, Dungeon Fighter Online was not able to grow beyond its very special and proud core following.
Sadly, Dungeon Fighter Online has not attracted enough player interest to properly service the game. Internally, we struggled deeply with the popularity of DFO in North America as the title is immensely popular overseas. For more than three years, we went through many milestones and several pushes before we came to this very difficult decision.
We sincerely regret to inform you that we will be bringing Nexon America’s service of DFO to an end.
We understand that many of you will be disappointed by this news. We hope that the game represents some of your great gaming memories. You have made new friends, created awesome characters, picked up some epic loot, and recorded some unforgettable victories. We, too, have loved working on this game, and learned a lot through our relationship with DFO.
A ramp-down of the game will begin on April 11, 2013, with the closing of the cash shop. Full service will discontinue on June 13, 2013.
We will compensate players for the purchase of unused or partially-used Permanent and Durational items purchased within the past six months. The dollar value is correlated with the time of purchase, the status of the item, etc.. More information regarding compensation can be found here.
Working on DFO during the past three years has been an honor, and we thank all of you Dungeon Fighters for joining us on this exciting journey.

More important than the new design of a pokemon in a fucking pokemon movie is that Dynasty Warriors 8 just got confirmed for the US and European market and gets released on the 18th movie

I'm calling late April Fools joke on this, but if this turns out to be the April 8th reveal they've teased...
It's not a redesign, it's a new form, which I think means it's an evolution.
Actually, no. Formes are... Well, alternate forms of Pokemon. With altered stats/move lists/looks, typically they change under specific conditions. Such as a held item, or doing an ingame event. Such as interacting with an overworld object. And whatnot.
Still, I hope it's fake. But if it's not... Ugh. I guess I'll just have to accept it... Even though it looks really bad...

We have a Pokemon thread though, in fact 2 of them.
Can you guys stop talking about something in a pokemon movie in the game news thread "please" and stop to derail it?
Its relevant to game news since, if official, coincides with the upcoming 6th Gen Pokemon games which means if it is official, then Mewtwo's new form will be in those games as well. Its not the first time Nintendo's done this, Lugia, Latios/Latias, and Lucario all had similar treatment.

Grasshopper Manufacture’s next game is a new IP running on Unreal Engine with ‘unique’ online features (http://gematsu.com/2013/04/grasshopper-manufactures-next-game-is-a-new-ip-running-on-unreal-engine-with-unique-online-features)
Quote
Grasshopper Manufacuture’s next game, first discussed in Famitsu last week, is an new IP action game for consoles, possibly next-gen, running on the Unreal Engine, new interviews with studio boss Goichi Suda confirm.
“We’re considering various console platforms right now,” Suda told Edge. “We’re considering both [current and next-gen]. Naturally we are interested in developing games for the next-gen platforms. We are investigating the specs and all that right now.”
“We can say it’s for consoles, but we can’t say which one yet since we haven’t decided,” GungHo Online Entertainment CEO Kazuki Morishita told Siliconera.
While the gameplay will be action-oriented, “the gameplay style is going to differ very much—it’ll be unique,” according to Suda. And the developer’s newfound home at GungHo Online Entertainment means there will be an online component involved.
“This is a title that GungHo Japan and Grasshopper Manufacture is working on together collaboratively so there will be an online feature, because that’s their forte and what they specialize in,” Suda told Edge. “On the simplest level it will be social, but the word social is used and misinterpreted a lot these days. GungHo has over ten years of experience in providing online gaming services so that is their strength.
Asked by Siliconera if the online component was versus or cooperative, Morishita said, “If we were to choose it’s more on the co-op side, but that doesn’t mean it’s completely multiplayer.” He added that it’s close to Dark Souls and Puzzles & Dragons, “but different” from it, as well.
Suda added, “It’s new and unique, something you haven’t seen before with a different style of friends system.”
The game will run on the Unreal Engine, but when asked if it was Unreal Engine 3 or 4, Morishita told Siliconera, “It’s one of those two! If we told you, you would know about the platforms.”
Grasshopper’s new game is slated for release in 2014.

Maverick Hunter was axed shortly before Mega Man creator Keiji Inafune left Capcom in 2010. It was intended to be part of a trilogy “that would culminate in a third game in which the player would assume control of Zero, forced to destroy a Mega Man who had grown incredibly powerful and infinitely intelligent over the course of two games.”
Oof. For once I'm glad to see a Mega Man game get the axe.

Eh, I dunno. On paper at first this sounds awesome, but then the videos look obviously wildly divisive. The weapons and the design are very risky. And then (on the Polygon site) there are a few screenshots, and we see the one up in the air that shows a classic Storm Eagle-like level (well, until you get to the following video and it's a free-fall sequence). If they could have done that some more (less "gray steel" environment and more of the classic X colorful stages), it might have been awesome, as long as the weapons and the weapon switching didn't just look like some retarded copy-paste FPS (and X wasn't some dumb muscle with an attitude in his voice). Of course that's a lot to ask, but then again this was barely a proof-of-concept, of course it wouldn't have looked anything like that in the end.

Post by: Shwa on April 09, 2013, 11:49:16 pm
Because the vid cited the project was being handled by the same team?
Spoiler: And besides...(click to see content)
Wasn't Inafune's plan for MMX always to make X slowly turn into an antagonist? Zero was supposed to be the lead role since the first game and since he was forced to include a real Mega Man-looking character, he continually tried to bring X down. (more spotlight on Zero since X2 until X6, the game he never got involved in that was very X-centric) Last time he almost had it was with MMZ, but apparently Copy-X was put in there as a last minute countermeasure.

Please read my post again in context. Mgbenz was wondering why people cited MP in complaints on "dark and gritty". By "no one complained about MP being dark and gritty", I'm saying that "no one has made the complaint that it is dark and gritty", not that "it is dark and gritty but no one complained". Hell, I haven't played MP, I'm only saying that there hasn't been a complaint about it.

Comparatively to Megaman maybe, but it's not exactly fair to compare something that doesn't have a lot of visible personality (8 bit sprites, man) with something that does and call it gritty. It wasn't even dark.

Final Fantasy fans will be excited to know that they’re not just getting a mind-blowingly beautifully HD version of the game they love, oh no! Both games are based on the International version, which is the most complete, feature-heavy iteration of each game to release. The International version of FINAL FANTASY X-2 never made it to European shores before, so there’s quite a chunk of additional content for you to dive into!

It has this annoying shake effect on the screen every time you make a punch, and just doesn't look as refined as DD Neon, different team, different breed of game.

Yes, let's hope it is as good as it looks. I really like the trend of 8 and 16 bit games getting revivals with the todays graphic but stay close to the gameplay from the past. Hope success of more of these games might open the doors for Contra, Mario, Sonic, Zelda..Metroid..Castlevania etc games of the past with a big technical update.

People are ready for it because we said so. The real bad thing is that they're actually right. Casual people who play games on their smartphones are totally ready for that. People who usually play consoles aren't because they've always seen consoles as something in its own separate box they can open and play with as they want, but they're not the ones these consoles are targeted to - looks like the console market is simply trying to expand to those who are indeed ready for it, and that's everyone else.
edit - then again the price of consoles and console games might be a rebuttal keeping away those casuals and sticking to the same old console market.

the game is available since over 15 years and its not that expensive to get a snes and the game.
Have you ever actually tried to buy a physical copy of Earthbound? The current going rate for an actual Earthbound SNES cartridge is in the ballpark of several hundred dollars. It's an incredibly rare game, and not a lot of people have that much money to spend tracking a copy down.
The game finally making it to the VC means that more people will have a chance to finally play it. And if it sells well enough, Nintendo may finally see fit to release an official localization of Mother 3. Or even better, a brand new Mother game.

arr..i just checked the price of the game on ebay and was surprised by the high amounts of money people are willing to give for that old cartridge. Guess its good that its available on vc/wiiU now but in times where other old 8 and 16 bit games are getting remakes like duck tales and now castle of illusion i would be happier about the same being done for old nintendo games too instead of just re-releasing them
and still..the Zelda ATTP sequel is a thousand time more interesting :-)

@DKDC Nintendo Direct is a short show they stream to the world in different languages all couple of weeks or months where nintendo news are revealed.

Well I'm buying a 3DS when this and Ace Attorney 5 are coming out.
Speaking of:
Quote
When we last left Phoenix Wright, the hero of the Ace Attorney courtroom simulators, he was in a bit of a sorry state. Delegated to being a back-seat minor character after handing the reins over to young up-and-comer Apollo Justice, Wright had really let himself go, looking more like a street tramp than a courtroom shark. The latest issue of Famitsu magazine has shown us an image of everyone's favorite defense attorney in a new take on his traditional blue suit, and has revealed the game's release date and pre-order bonuses.
The game will launch in Japan on July 25th, where it is known as Gyakuten Saiban 5. Purchase Gyakuten 5 before August 15, and you'll be given some free alternate-outfit DLC. It includes Phoenix's original suit from the first three Ace Attorneys, and one new outfit each for Apollo Justice and Kokone Kizuki, the as-yet-unnamed-in-English woman who helps Phoenix out in this installment.
While the latest Ace Attorney game, Ace Attorney Investigations 2, was not given an English port due to poor sales of Investigations 1, here's hoping that the latest installment of the main series will see a translation, as the original four Ace Attorney games proved to be smash hits when they were first released.
The Famitsu preview revealed that Apollo Justice, the main character of Ace Attorney 4, will be a playable character in the game's courtroom scenes. In addition, it offered us a glimpse of one of the game's bad guys, a prosecutor named Jin Yugami. Jin is currently serving time for murder, but has been allowed to temporarily return as a prosecutor for some reason. I would assuming killing someone would get you disbarred from practicing law, but apparently not so in the wacky future world of the Ace Attorney games.

What type of games are they, and what are their biggest strenghts?

Now i have a question to you guys who are familiar with the Ace Attorney games

The Ace Attorney games are basically visual novels. The goal of each case is to uncover the truth behind the crimes and get your client cleared of all charges. They alternate between "investigation" sequences, where you inspect crime scenes and talk to various characters to gather as much evidence and information as you can, and "courtroom" sequences where you listen to testimony and use your evidence to expose when the witnesses are lying.
Since the actual gameplay is nearly non-existent, at least until you hit the DS titles which make use of the touch screen for forensics, the greatest strength of the series is definitely in the writing. The mysteries are really well crafted, and the characters are colorful and endearing. Most of the time anyway; Pretty much every new face in Apollo Justice was pretty forgettable.
Title: Re: gaming news that don't deserve their own thread
Post by: The Simplistic Fubini on April 17, 2013, 09:46:24 pm
They're visual novels. You go around finding clues and talking to people, and then move to courtroom afte you're done investigating. Their strenght is that the games have really good murder stories with pretty cool twists, they're definitely above your average Law & Order episode; you have to think outside the box to win in the court room.
But unfortunately, one of the selling point of the franchise is their bizarre sense of humor. Pretty much every secondary character has wacky, over the top, frequently gimmicky and unidimensional, personality.
Title: Re: gaming news that don't deserve their own thread
Post by: DKDC on April 17, 2013, 09:50:12 pm
The biggest strengths are the story, the humor and the dialogs in general, how hammy it is. It's pretty much a visual novel. The gameplay is going back and forth between places, doing point-and-click searches for clues and associating stuff and ideas, then in the courtroom, studying statements, ringing the bell when you see a problem, and pick which evidence in your pocket to show to contradict the statement.

Seems strange that now that they're able to deal without the technical limits of the SNES that the Link to the Past sequel has Link with his normal hair colour again. The graphical style is interesting as it doesn't reuse the Windwaker style or any other existing models, I would have preferred 2D myself, but I can't say I dislike the look of the new game either.

You know it depends on your region. Here in Quebec, Earthbound copies are relatively cheap if you don't look at a reputable game store. Thirft stores like Value Village will often hold gems like BOXED UNOPENED EARTHBOUND for like $15.
Japan sells Mother 2 boxed with manual for like $3 pretty much anywhere. The soundtrack, however...

Resident Evil 6 (PS3, Xbox 360) Capcom's planned salenumbers for 01.04.12 - 31.03.13 were 7 Million
Sold copies 4,9 Mio. St.
DmC Devil May Cry (PS3, Xbox 360) Capcom's planned salenumbers for 01.04.12 - 31.03.13 were 2 Million
Wonder if they are surprised at Capcoms headquarters or if they see this as a wakeup call.
They are already taking measures:
Quote
In light of these events, Capcom have attempted to figure out just what has led to their games not meeting their sales targets. Here are the conclusions they’ve arrived at:
Delayed response to the expanding digital contents market
Decline in quality due to excessive outsourcing
Insufficient coordination between marketing and game development divisions in overseas markets
Capcom’s countermeasures to these issues are as follows:
1. Strengthening their digital business: Increase in and promotion of DLC (downloadable content)
2. Raising the quality of their games, moving more development in-house:
Work-in-progress games re-evaluated Certain titles discontinued due to “inability to respond to market needs” Certain titles outsourced overseas discontinued due to not being compatible with current business strategy
3. Improve global coordination between development and marketing divisions

Also I don't think the point of showing CVS1 was to say "Hey guys CVS1 was good" as much as it was to say "The Capcom vs SNK series is awesome" hence why they also showed DMC1, RE1, the first Megaman....

Post by: Alpaca-San on April 25, 2013, 03:14:04 am
They have a valid point about why DmC failed (antagonizing the fanbase and still expecting them to buy the game) but everything else was wish listing without knowing how the industry works especially when you are looking at Capcom. They are pretty timid about market viability...

I'm really laughing at the effort Star Trek video game developers went through in order to trick others into thinking they did a really good game. I'm really really laughing. I've been reading things like lots of bugs and coop not working (PC only for the coop part), which obviously indicates the game shouldn't have been released yet. And for what they say about the game, it isn't that great either.
Now I know people hates AJS, but he basically did all the job of gathering proof that developers went ahead and put fake reviews on Metacritics and Steam, so it's interesting to watch. Or if you hate it that much, just check in Steam Discussion and in Metacritics yourself:
Thurrott notes that the rumored “always online” functionality of the next Xbox is correct. He notes that “the next Xbox must be Internet-connected to use. This is the source of the ‘always on’/’always online’ rumors and isn’t as Draconian as many seem to believe.
But... But... Not as draconian as we think ? How... It must be online to be usable. It's exactly what we think. What is it that these guys are thinking about when they decide to say things like this ?

River City Ransom is getting sequel talks again, after a false start in 2011. This time it's from indie studio Combit, which says it will work with River City Ransom EX developer Million. It also has plans to turn to crowd-funding.
Combit made the announcement on its site (via Polygon). Development is said to be underway already, and planning for an August 2014 release. The crowd-funding effort will kick off this summer. Combit says other platforms are "under consideration."
Japanese developer Miracle Kidz announced a sequel in 2011, and at the time even claimed it would be out later that year. But after a long silence, it subsequently said in 2012 that it had been put on hold indefinitely.

How many times can you play the original Sonic the Hedgehog? Let SEGA count the ways - the Mega Drive, Saturn, PC, Gamecube, Xbox, PS2, PS3, Xbox 360, iOS, Android... basically, almost every single platform known to man. You can add Nintendo's 3DS to that list, now.SEGA is working on a 3D Classics version of the 16-bit original, which will include stereoscopic effects to add depth to the environments, all the bug fixes found in later revisions of the Mega Drive cartridge, the Spin Dash move, a CRT monitor emulation and a choice of using the Mega Drive 1 or 2 console sound chip. It follows a number of classic SEGA titles that have also seen the special 3DS treatment in Japan, such as3D Space Harrier and 3D Super Hang-On. It will cost 600 Yen and will be released to coincide with the Mega Drive's 25th Anniversary on May 15. No word on a Western release for this one.

And hell yeah, Edgeworth is there! I so want to read what he says about what happenend to Wright in the 4th game. Also, if Edgeworth is here, we can assume that Gumshoe will most likely be there too.

“We’ve got more projects going on in our studios. We’ve got this great team in Vancouver under the codename Black Tusk. I’ve seen some of the things that they’re working on.”
When asked if Black Tusk’s new game will in fact be on hand for Microsoft’s E3 event, Mattrick said:
“Maybe. You have to work on Phil [Harrison] [Nirolak's Note: I think he means Spencer, but I'm leaving GE's transcript intact] for that one. I’m voting for showing it at E3, Phil’s still thinking he doesn’t want to overload people with too many games.”

You can't really solve the problem of competition with other releases. When several popular releases appear in the same or close spam of time, sales will decrease, that's unavoidable, as there's not that many people that can afford buying popular games in a short spam of time, taking into account that such games tend to be sold at full price. Unless it's someone who believes that money grows from trees or something similar.
I think Square Enix is being smart in changing their approach when selling games, though I'm not sure if using Kickstarter, Steam Greenlight or Early Access is going to show them how to.
Title: Re: gaming news that don't deserve their own thread
Post by: DKDC on May 27, 2013, 12:08:15 pm
The way I see it, people buy less for the obvious reason that it costs too much. 60 to 70 bucks for a new game, who would expect players to buy all the big games that come out at the same time ? If they cost 40 you might buy two in a month. Also obviously, selling the same game at half price is quite unlikely. So, splitting up games into smaller parts should be a middle ground that might work, right ? With all the DLC talks and everything, the problem is when the base game costs 70 bucks and the DLC costs 40, but what if the main game is smaller, costs 40, and the extension (or second half) cost 35 or something ? As long as they can be bought and played separately or something. No idea what they plan to do with Kickstarter and everything, though, yeah.

Maybe they should just..release great games..make them available for every possible distribution channel /platform, make sure the people want more of the same in the form of great sequels instead of nickel and dime dlc strategies which only piss off some customers in the end.

Post by: Nanashi_1337 on May 27, 2013, 12:22:30 pm
I don't think there's a problem in doing prequels as long as they fit and truly explain unanswered questions in the game, and obviously that they're good. Spin-offs, it depends. They're usually done for milking the series, which usually means they're not good, but if they're good, I don't mind.

We've been hearing about the potential sequel to the cult favorite Mirror's Edge for a long time. Most recently we heard rumblings that it could be in development at DICE. All those rumors may be coming closer to an actual announcement, as "Mirror's Edge 2" has been spotted on a German retail site.
Amazon Germany lists the game for the Xbox 360. It's a sparse page other than that, but it's a bit more hope than Mirror's Edge fans have had in a long while. Amazon has had a history of spilling the beans on projects, like when the German version of the retailer outed Europe's Skyrim Premium Edition.
This is no guarantee of Mirror's Edge 2, but it would make a nice announcement for Electronic Arts at E3. We contacted EA regarding the listing, and a representative issued the following statement.
"We appreciate fan enthusiasm for Mirror's Edge, especially fans throughout the retail channel. This is not official EA material. We have nothing to announce at this time."

It worked awesome with FF until they pulled out FF13 which was not a great game, but still got a direct sequel nobody wanted. They created an mmorpg which also flopped and instead of releasing a new great new FF game they develope another sequel nobody wanted.

I don't know the .hack games, I assume it's pretty much that. Not necessarily splitting the games, but making smaller games for half the price. If the story is just too big, then DLC or small sequels, sure. Maybe splitting the story of something like the Tomb Raider reboot would be weird and hard and not too well liked, but if it becomes a habit and it makes it possible to slash the price hard, it might pull through - at least better than the current model which they say is going down in flames.

It worked for FF until FF13 ? By "until FF13" I assume you mean "up to FF12", and FF12 came out in 2006. I'm going to just assume you get my point here. The mmorpg flopped because, if you mean FF14, it was just fucked up (apparently - I never looked at it because it's an mmorpg and I don't care for that, but they backpedaled pretty hard on it and what I've read is that it just sucked, they're still completely redoing it)

Please stop talking for everyone.
While yes, a sequel for the game was out of nowhere, I seriously doubt everyone didn't want one nor even the "vast majority". The sequel still sold alot for basically a rehashed engine with very few CGI scenes in there(I count like 2-3 tops) and enemies. If anything, only FF14 was a FF game no one wanted(you already have FFXI for your online needs) and that suffered a gigantic blow to Squenix overall including rebuilding it.

After the Amazon "leak" comes this:
Quote
The evidence is steadily building for an impending Mirror's Edge 2 announcement. Just a week after we saw the game listed on a German retailer, EA itself seems to have let word slip with the brief appearance of a help page on the company's official site.
(http://i40.tinypic.com/34t3bev.png)
The help page, caught by NeoGAF users and captured (above) in screenshot form by our own Alice O'Connor, shows the title plain as day. It doesn't shed any light on details like platforms, but that does seem to all-but confirm the sequel. As NeoGAF user "ekim" points out, replacing the URL with terms like "mass-effect-4" and "fifa-15" doesn't work, so EA isn't in the habit of making help pages for unannounced games. The page was later pulled. That makes three spottings so far, after Amazon Germany, and later, a pulled Amazon Italy listing for Xbox One.
It seems likely that an announcement is imminent, possibly at E3 in two weeks. If so, look surprised. Shacknews has contacted EA regarding the help page, and will update as more information becomes available.

Tales of Symphonia Chronicles announced for PS3 Coming to Japan later this year, west in early 2014. (http://gematsu.com/2013/06/tales-of-symphonia-chronicles-announced-ps3)

Final Fantasy Versus XIII can't be preordered anymore at Amazon USA and Japan
If you've been following video games for long enough, you've probably heard the tale of the Atari landfill. Following the video game crash of the early 1980s, a New Mexico newspaper and the New York Times reported that truckloads of Atari hardware were dumped in a landfill. That purportedly included a few million copies of the infamously bad "E.T. The Extra Terrestrial." Now thirty years later, a film crew plans to dig it all up.
New Mexico station KRQE (via Ars Technica) reports that a documentary crew will excavate the site sometime in the next six months. The crew is being funded by the Ottawa-based marketing firm Fuel Industries.
E.T. is said to be the bulk of the scrap, as Atari could not sell the game after it tanked. Other reports have claimed the landfill could house consoles, PCs, or rare Atari prototypes. We'll finally get an answer to these questions, and at the very least be left with more than three million unsold copies of a terrible licensed game.
The videogame mummy will rise and bring with it the ET Curse.
We are doomed.

And Square Enix is finally doing something right after the backlash received by DX The Fall. Now here's hoping for this to be available as an upgrade for DXHR owners like me. Come on, don't make all the time and effort I spent on DXHR irrelevant :(

As an example we won’t have the Sisters of Battle at launch. We love them, but the reason why they won’t be playable at launch is because it’s almost impossible to make the kind of power they have fit the lore and make it fun at the same time. They always end up being killed by their own team because their pure blood is useful to defeat demons..

Both upcoming nextgen games The Division and The Crew for xbone and ps4 are always online games which can't be played offline
Apparently what they're taking issue with is "interactive, implied sexual violence" and "drug use as a reward or incentive". The sexual violence they're saying is in IV and not in the other three games sounds like it stems from the new romancing mechanic, and if that's the case it'd be next to nothing to cut the individual scenes and just let us Aussies hit up Youtube if we're that desperate.
The drug use is what really confuses me. SR2 had blatant drug use as a powerup, and somehow that managed to sneak in as MA15+, I can't for the life of me think what makes how SRIV uses it that could be refused classification even with the new reforms.
EDIT: Deep Silver are going to edit the game for Australia. (http://www.computerandvideogames.com/416130/saints-row-4-banned-in-australia-volition-removing-offending-content/)

In a roundtable discussion, designer Hideo Kojima expressed his interest in a remake of Metal Gear Solid using his studio's fancy new Fox Engine. Can you imagine what that would look like knowing what we know about Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain? Interestingly (and thankfully), such a project would be undertaken by an external studio.
According to Gamereactor (http://www.gamereactor.eu/articles/81421/The+Mysterious+Mr.+Kojima/), Kojima is currently looking for a team and believes some of the game's mechanics would need updating alongside the modern visuals. Some of you are going to be excited by this proposition, while others aren't going to see the point. Where do you stand?

I would actually fuse both MGS1 and 2 into one single game, that would be far more interesting. And with that you can also fix the damn story in MGS2 and add some stuff from the visual novel and whatnot, that would be the ultimate version for both games in one. Heck I would add a Ghost Babel remake as an unlockable story once you finish the game, kinda like snake tales.
MGS2 is quite linked to MGS1 so it would be interesting to see that happening. If such thing happens oh God, the money will fucking rain and in a few more years we'll finally get a remake of MG1 and 2.

http://www.siliconera.com/2013/06/28/thats-a-whole-lotta-snake-in-metal-gear-solid-the-legacy-collection/ Trailer for the new MGS collection, but what I want to point out is - that music, did they clear up the legal issues ? The guy who made that music completely ripped off some Russian musician of the previous century, and Kojima didn't put the track again when he learn of it. Now they're using it again ?
On a different note but also about MGS http://www.siliconera.com/2013/06/28/hideo-kojima-recommends-starting-with-metal-gear-solid-3-as-your-first/ Since Kojima and team specifically say they think the first MGS is harder because of the view, and considering they were just recently looking for a studio to do a remake of it, I would imagine they'll want to ditch the birdview and adopt the current view style.

If by "Safety Net" you mean their "Long Term Profit Plan", then I agree.
They're a public company (http://www.marketwatch.com/investing/stock/ubi?countrycode=fr) that responds to their shareholders interests of MAKING MONEY, so they need to focus on what generates value to them - their core business of having a streamlined production of big blockbuster games that cost 60 USD in the 2 biggest consoles that share similar specs and infrastructure ;)

Verdict is, DR2's S ending is indeed the "true" or canonical one. It's pretty clear that Off the Record is non-canon--hence the title "Off the Record"--while Case West seems to be sort of a gray area. The scenario itself is another "what-if" scenario (non-canon), but some of the places/characters/what-have-you referenced within may be integral to the canonical story. So take that as you will.

Kingdom Hearts creator Tetsuya Nomura is keen to include Star Wars and Marvel-related content to the Kingdom Hearts franchise, he told Finaland during last week's Japan Expo in Paris.
But despite interest from the game's creator, restrictions in place by Disney are still a barrier to entry for any new franchise the team hopes to incorporate in the Kingdom Hearts universe. "Of course it would be great if we could add those licenses as well," said Nomura. "But there are lots of rules and restrictions by Disney so we can't actually put in everything people want.
"So it's a quite difficult decision but we're gonna prepare some surprises for you so, just wait for the information."
The Kingdom Hearts head also highlighted Final Fantasy developer Yoshinori Kitase's own interest in the potential cross-over, highlighting the significance of the recent acquisition of Star Wars by Disney. "We're not going to decide it whether Kitase-san likes Star Wars or not but we've been talking about Star Wars itself since it became Disney's content recently. When I heard the news I was like wow, wow'. Obviously it's gonna be great if we could add it," he commented.
After being in development since 2002 another promising looking MegaMan fan game is online ..this time not used supported by Capcom.

I've been watching a playthrough because I've heard so many people raving about how much they love the game, but from a purely observational standpoint it looks completely and totally broken in literally every way that a game can be broken.

Deadly Premonition is sort of an old school throwback to weird PS1-Dreamcast era survival horror games, and is pretty well written.

[avatar]http://i42.photobucket.com/albums/e315/Tiger_Stripe/discordava-5.png[/avatar]It was pretty well written twenty years ago when it was called Twin Peaks. :P
But I mean from a purely technical standpoint, it looks like a completely broken game. Graphically it looks like rushed PS2 launch title, but is somehow still so poorly optimized that the framerate slows to a crawl all the time for no reason. The gameplay looks choppy and sluggish, required button prompts seem to just randomly not appear. The voice acting is universally terrible and the translation dips into NES-era Engrish at times. Even the freaking sound mixing is irreparably busted.
Again, I haven't actually played it, but everything I've seen from it makes it look like absolute garbage. What am I missing that makes people love this game so much?

I don't think you're missing a thing, no I think it's pretty clear to you, based on everything you said I think you nailed. It's just it doesn't appeal to you. It doesn't really appeal all that much to me either although I am interested in it as an experience.

Eidos Montreal founder resigns because their titles didn't seel as well as expected. But not because the fault lies in their expectations.
Speaking to the outlet, D'Astous went on to say that Square Enix "has some things to learn about how to sell their games. We are in a situation that we have great games that could have sold more. They need to attack that very, very seriously. Last year was supposed to be a home-run season, but we didn't hit a single home run; maybe a double or a triple, but they weren't home runs. I think in those situations when people are put into immense pressure they sometimes change."
Holy shit they still think the problem is that it didn't sell as well as it could have, and they won't accept that the problem is their expectations and their disconnection from reality, their management of costs and sales. The guy thinks they could have gotten more money and their fault is just that they failed to do it.

they will hopefully get someone with brains in there and realize they could of made a profit without the silly amount thrown into marketing. They also need to get with the times and understand COD's time is nearly over, each iteration starts to fall off faster and faster and those millions and millions of units shipped and sold will hopefully dwindle with their large expectations.

Xbox 360 games not loading, Live service troubles. Posted: 4 hours ago
Quote
If you’ve loaded up your Xbox 360 today, you may have noticed something odd… games aren’t loading and several areas of Xbox Live are completely unavailable. It’s been widely mentioned on Twitter and we’ve unfortunately experienced it ourselves; games simply aren’t loading as they hang on the first menu that the game loads, often causing your console to crash. A lot of these game loading troubles seem to have been caused by the dashboard beta update that was released late last night. Xbox.com’s service status page is finally recognising that certain areas are not accessible (specifically music and video applications) and the Xbox Twitter support has gone into overtime trying to keep up with the number of people complaining about being unable to play their games.
I'm not 100% sure when this is going to be solved, so all i know is like 30 minutes ago i wasn't able to play Injustice but now it's allowing me to play. If you still having problems now you know why and it will probably be solved soon.

This subtle shuffle around could be a really clever way to beat the censors. The major reason this was refused classification was that the Rectifier "constitutes a visual depiction of implied sexual violence that is interactive and not justified by context". Sounds like this talk of an infestation is an attempt at providing a justifying context to it. And even then, separating it from the rest of the game makes for an easier, less risky sell; a game isn't rated on the basis of all future DLC, even if each individual DLC pack is analyzed separately. SR4 without anal probe goes on sale trouble free, then quietly push to justify anal probe DLC.

http://www.destructoid.com/more-details-on-the-mega-man-legends-3-cancellation-258743.phtml Okay, why are these guys such gigantic pieces of shit ?
Quote
"Remember that Legends 3 was essentially a 10-year-late sequel to a sequel to a spin-off, that had middling success even back when it was one of the only games of its kind--before 3D Action-Adventure was an established genre, if you can even remember that far back. And consider its place within the greater Mega Man brand.
If you thought DmC was a deviation from the Devil May Cry brand, remember that MML (MmL?) changed virtually everything you could possibly change about Mega Man. Even I remember scoffing at the sight of it until I got my hands on it and realized it stood on its own merits. Then consider that the game was destined for a platform that didn't even exist yet in the wild. All that isn't to say MML3 was a "bad" project--it was just weird. But MML has always been a passion project, not a cash cow. Hence the Devroom angle."
The entirety of this excuse paragraph is irrelevant considering that MML WAS well liked as a franchise. It doesn't matter if it's a sequel to a sequel to a spin-off, it doesn't matter if it's 10 years later, it doesn't matter if the first game was made for a console that wasn't even out at the time, it doesn't matter if DmC was a big deviation and MML was even more of a deviation : it was well liked as a franchise. This whole explanation doesn't make a fraction of sense. The only real reason is that they didn't think it would sell big time and they didn't want to bother wasting time for something they considered a small test.
Quote
I guess you could say, then, that the cancellation of the project wasn't actually anything out of the ordinary. What was out of the ordinary is that everbody knew about it. The Devroom and the MML3 project's utter transparency were nigh-unprecedented experiments with high risks. They were risks that, sadly, delivered the full brunt of their severity. Look at us. Two years later and we're still here talking about it. I want to know, guys, and please take this question in earnest: Knowing how the project turned out, would you rather have not known about its existence to begin with?
This is the only piece that makes sense (and even then, it doesn't even give an explanation as to WHY it was actually cancelled, but let's just get past that). But why do they have to be so stupid about it ? Why do they have to say such stupid things and be assholes about it ?
You'd think everyone finally left this whole thing in the past, that there's no reason to talk about it anymore, and then they come back and give more retarded excuses. Are they just trying to piss off people ? How come there's no one over there who has any idea how to manage PR ?

the analogy to DmC is completely irrelevant, megaman legends was a spinoff. classic megaman was still a thing. dmc is a reboot that is replacing old devil may cry, hence the outrage. here's the thread where the guy posted http://www.capcom-unity.com/ask_capcom/go/thread/view/7371/30011845/so-it-has-now-officially-been-years-since-mega-man-legends-3-was-cancelled?pg=11

That is not how logic works at all. Megaman always had numerous different branches of the series (X series for example) while DmC was an attempt to "replace" the original with a reboot and Capcom damn well knows it. What a shithead.

People getting tired of it, maybe they overprice stuff. never touched a single game they have made. WoW continues to dip down too.
Never played it, but I think it is like in most other MMOS. they focused the content to only one kind of player, and the rest has nothing to do to have realy fun in the game and they leave one by one.

New shit: Pre ordering it gets you Halloween costumes for Kaguya,Mitsunari Ishida and Zhao Yun...ALso getting an unlimited mode which allows 5 characthers per team,characthers now fight simultaneously and regain health when not controled by the player. If playing 2 player mode,you can activate a special Musou attack with 3 characthers from both teams We are also getting Sterkenburg Cranach from Atelier as a playable guest characther(we already had Ryu Hayabusa,Kasumi,Ayane,Joan of the Arc,Achilles,Nemea) We are also getting a chinese mythological dragon in his human form called Ying Long and a japanese mythical babe called Mae Tamamo. Xu Shu from Dynasty Warriors 8 will also make an appearance
Heres the site if anyone knows Japanese http://www.gamecity.ne.jp/orochi2/ultimate/

There's also supposed to be a side story explaining Orochi's origins. Hoping it gets a stateside release in some form since Warriors Orochi 3 is pretty much the best Musou title (this coming from someone who likes these games to start with).
Hopefully they'll make Goemon a power type again since he was gimped in the original version.

Yeah but this is an expansion title which makes this a big "IF". Orochi Z was technically an expansion title (combining the first two games into one) that didn't come stateside.
And aren't we all?

The chance of stateside is pretty likely, the only series they leave in Japan is Strikeforce/MultiRaid, all main Orochi, Dynasty, and Samurai games have come over.
And I'm just here waiting for Gundam 4.

Yeeeeeeah, nanny state. Uncut version of SR4 will never see the light of day in Australia, so Deep Silver are going to pump out the Australian Edition.
Interesting to note that this time the problem isn't the alien anal probe, but just the drug references. Even games like Fallout 3 got tripped up over references to morphine, which got released after changing "morphine" to "Med-X".

Fans have threatened to murder the family of Black Ops II’s design director after a minor update to the game changed the performance of three guns.
A recent patch for Black Ops II made a number of minor bug fixes and tweaks, including slightly reducing the damage caused by the AN-94 gun, and reducing the rate of fire of the DSR 50 and Ballista. All the changes are merely tenths of a second.

I don't really see the downside to adding them to Kingdom Hearts. You get Luke Skywalker teaming up with Sora to fight Doctor Doom and his Heartless, while Magneto's bending Sephiroth's sword into a poodle. If that doesn't scream awesome, I don't know what will.
If it's an issue with them either downplaying their universes or putting too much emphasis on them, though, personally I'm not worried about that. They'll likely have their world, possibly a summon and/or key chain, and that's it. And who can say no to a lightsaber keyblade?

An entire collection of Elder Scrolls. Would be neat I guess to own physical copies of the original.
Why? They have no worth compared to the original releases and if you just want to play them you can download them for free from Bethesda.

Marvelous USA had revealed to the video game website Siliconera in May that it would consider releasing the game in North America. Marvelous AQL released the "enormous breasts hyper battle" game with female ninja on the Nintendo 3DS in Japan on August 30.
The internet jokes that Valve is allergic to the number 3. However, it appears one sequel may finally reach that ever-elusive number. A recent tour of Valve's office by Reddit members has unearthed a listing for "Left 4 Dead 3."
A snapshot of an idle monitor (via Gamespot (http://www.gamespot.com/news/left-4-dead-3-listing-spotted-during-valve-office-tour-6412562)) shows a thread by a Ted Carson. "Restored L4D3," it reads, preceded by mention of Source 2--Valve's next-gen engine.
Left 4 Dead 3 previously surfaced in a supposed Valve project tracker, which also mentioned Half-Life 3. Of course, with employees being able to freely work on whatever they want, these listings won't necessarily coalesce into a real product.

Payday 2 aims to be a much smarter game than its predecessor, allowing smart thieves to plan the perfect heist. It won't be easy, however. So why not watch the developers at Starbreeze attempt one?
If that has you intrigued, you may want to pre-order the PC version of the game. The "Armored Transport Heist" DLC will be free on PC for pre-orders. According to Steam, the add-on involves robbing a convoy of armored cars headed for Washington DC. It will also be heading to PS3 and Xbox 360, a rep confirmed to Videogamer.
Payday 2 is set to release on Tuesday.

Payday 2 is launching today, but like any career criminal it will always be looking for that last big score. Overkill apparently has a full year of downloadable content planned, and among the plans are the ability to pull heists as the fairer sex.
Game director David Goldfarb mentioned the DLC roadmap to OXM, and committed to including a female robber as one of the top priorities.
"I know, actually that's one of the first things I have on my list, is to make sure we get a female character," Goldfarb said. "I'm hoping--I don't know if we'll get it as our first DLC, because we'd have to redo all the animations so it doesn't look like a dude walking around with a female body. But I'd like to do that." He started to say he'd like his two daughters to be able to "mask up," but then thought better of it considering the M-rating. "It's definitely on our list. One of the many things on our list."

Introducing The Origin Great Game Guarantee (https://www.origin.com/us/news/origin-great-game-guarantee)
We know that feeling: the one where you sit down, wait for a new game to finish downloading and installing, start it for the first time, and want it to rock. The intro sucks you in, you press a button to shoot, jump, or talk for the first time, and then it's suddenly three a.m. We know that feeling, and the one afterwards of knowing that not only does a game rock, but that it was worth every dollar you spent on it.
We hope every game you play on Origin will meet this high bar, and we're happy to say that starting today, we can guarantee that we'll make things right if you decide the game you just bought didn’t live up to your expectations.
The new Origin Great Game Guarantee works like this: You may return EA full game downloads (PC or Mac) purchased on Origin for a full refund--within 24 hours after you first launch the game, within seven days from when you purchased it, or within the first seven days after the game's release date if you pre-ordered it (whichever of these conditions happens first).
If something doesn't work out—you aren’t riveted by the storyline, or sucked in by the action, or even just if the game doesn't play well with your video card—we’ve got your back.
Requesting a refund is quick and easy. Just visit your order history and click the “request a refund” link next to your recent purchase, answer a few quick questions, and we’ll take it from there.
For more details, you can check out the full Origin Great Game Guarantee policy details posted on Origin.com. The Origin Great Game Guarantee is effective as of today in 20 countries. Like the improved Origin Store, we are rolling out the program worldwide over the next few weeks, and everyone will be covered by the Origin Great Game Guarantee by the end of September.

In case you didn't notice the discussion at Neogaf about GFWL going bye-bye:
On top of shutting down the Marketplace for its Games for Windows platform, it appears Microsoft plans on discontinuing the Live service entirely. Although Microsoft promised the "service will continue to operate as usual," a since deleted Xbox support update mentions a specific shutdown date for the service.
The Age of Empires Online support page noted that "Games for Windows Live will be discontinued on July 1, 2014." After that date, the server will shut down, rendering the game unplayable.
IGN took a screencap of the notice before Microsoft removed it from its website. While it seems likely this was an early look into Microsoft's plans, the company has been known to reverse course on a number of decisions. For now, it appears GFWL is going the way of the dodo--the only question is when.
It's official. Now it's a matter of when and what games will be patched before it goes poof.

Nope, it starts counting after the game activates, which in the case of a pre-order would be release day. If you buy a game, and don't even try it a week after you've bought it, I'd kinda have to wonder why you got it in the first place.
It's a step in the right direction, and hopefully other DD platforms follow suit.

within 24 hours after you first launch the game, within seven days from when you purchased it, or within the first seven days after the game's release date if you pre-ordered it (whichever of these conditions happens first).
So whichever happens first out of a day after trying the game, a week after paying for the game (which if you pre-ordered can technically be before the release anyway) or a week after release?
Oh yeah, EA are just bending over backwards for the consumers.
Nope, it starts counting after the game activates, which in the case of a pre-order would be release day. If you buy a game, and don't even try it a week after you've bought it, I'd kinda have to wonder why you got it in the first place.
It's a step in the right direction, and hopefully other DD platforms follow suit.
As of right now I haven't tried 10 retail PS3 games, 2-3 digital PS3 games, and something like 20-25 steam games that I own
I think I have a problem >.>

Capcom knows Viewtiful Joe has fans but does not have any faith in the franchise's market viability, therefore they try to give fans their Viewtiful Joe fix through means that costs relatively little to throw out.
Such is the fate brought on by an ultra competitive video game market.

Shin Gundam Musou is in development for PlayStation 3 and PS Vita, the latest issue of Weekly Famitsu reveals.
The PlayStation 3 version will cost 7,980 yen and the PS Vita version 6,980 yen when it releases on December 19 in Japan.
The game brings back realistic-style visuals after Dynasty Warriors Gundam 3‘s cel-shaded graphics. It also revives Official Mode, where you can relive the original stories of Gundam SEED, Unicorn, and other series. There’s also an original storyline available through the game’s Ultimate Mode.
In battle, you can use Combination Bursts to summon battleships. Weapons like Beam Sabers and Beam Rifles are available, and are loaded with strengthening components. You can also control a giant Mobile Armor suit.
The game will include the largest amount of Mobile Suits in the series yet—over 100. The following mecha have been confirmed to appear:
I know most people don't give a damn about Musou's but I'm excited Gundam and One piece Musou are the only ones i like outside of Sengoku Basara, Shame it's not gonna use the Cel-Shaded look i really liked it, also obligatory SEED sucks comment.

Speaking of JRPGs, it seems that some industry professionals are collaborating together to make a new JRPG and they've started a kickstarter to do it. It's called Project Phoenix http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1300298569/project-phoenix-japans-indie-rpg-feat-aaa-talent (http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1300298569/project-phoenix-japans-indie-rpg-feat-aaa-talent) They've already met their minimum goal and it seems like they are getting good traction. What's got me really excited is that they got Nobou Uematsu to compose the score.
The game is going to be released for the PS4 and PSVita as well now http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1300298569/project-phoenix-japans-indie-rpg-feat-aaa-talent/posts/589592

EUROPE XBone = 499 Euro = Console, Kinect, FIFA 2014 PS4 = 499 Euro = Console, Eye Camera, Killzone Shadowfall.
So, if they cost the same, and with all the 180s Xbox did, pretty much they're the same regarding how games work ... would this mean that Xbone has a fighting chance in Europe?

Since the XB1 is not released in as many markets as the PS4, no chance

Let's see how markets behave once the consoles are out. We won't be able to discuss this until January next year anyway, after holiday season.
Given that Kinect Plus is a far superior piece of hardware than the PS camera/eyetoy/whatever, if I had the same money, and they both cost that, I'd get the Juan most probably.

Unless retail copies of FIFA 2014 will cost 100 Euros, I'd expect most people to just buy the base model PS4 and a copy of FIFA 2014 for cheaper. Who really wants to buy an Eye Camera / Kinect anyway?

Translation is being handled by Carpe Fulgur of Recettear and Chantelise fame.
i seriously hope there arent any idiots who think they can handle the entire kiseki series. xseed isnt that good.
They can do the Third at least. Has less text than SC but a bit more than FC. Problem is that the Third introduces the plot points that will be resolved in future games and I don't really think Zero/Ao nor Sen can be translated in XSEED's current state.
Hopefully FC+SC sells well enough to rise more interest in the series.

Assassin's Creed 3: Liberation was a Vita-exclusive spin-off starring Aveline de Grandpré, the first playable female African assassin in the franchise. While it wasn't particularly well received, there are many fans unable to play it due to the platform it landed on. Well, it appears Ubisoft is making an HD port of the game.
A leaked image from Ubisoft's Digital Day shows a number of unannounced titles, including Assassin's Creed Liberation HD, Assassin's Creed Pirates, and Rayman Fiesta Run.
According to Kotaku, the image is real. The cite says they saw the games yesterday, but are beholden to an embargo that lifts on Tuesday. So expect to find out what these games are next week.

Honestly, I doubt they do that. Most likely we will see references to Dangan Ronpa 1 & 2 just like it happened in Super Dangan Ronpa 2, but that's it. I do wish they do wake up, and I also wish there was a way to stop the deaths of some characters in Dangan Ronpa 1, but unless you pull stuff like in Zero Escape, that won't happen.

So, turns out it's a music album of the series soundtrack, re-orchestrated. With more to come.
That's nice, Kingdom Hearts has always had wonderful music.

They murdered their own localization, you think they wouldn't just do that with Atlus USA?
Not saying they can't do the smart thing, but Sega isn't smart.
From what I understand, it is Sega Sammy Holdings, the holding company, who brought out Index Corporation along with Atlus, not Sega the publisher.
Holding companies are only responsible for the financial side of business, like stocks. I do believe that Atlus is allowed to operate on its own. After all, Sega Sammy is spending 14 billion yen to acquire Atlus. I do think that they are not that stupid to butcher Atlus's value by not allowing it to operate like it has been.
With that being said, I think Sega can benefit greatly from Atlus USA's translation team, which I think is one of the best there is.

I do, I did play a couple of RPGs in Japanese but it's more tedious, I rather not bother with that for a game like that. Not to mention that Yakuza can have more "colorful" dialogs that I won't get simply because I'm not actually Japanese. And I can't spend hundreds of dollars importing them all brand new, too. Yeah, Ishin's out too, but I wasn't even holding my hopes too high about this one since Kenzan never came around either. The Yakuza series is pretty good at recreating cities and letting you explore them (when I went to Tokyo I realized I knew all of Kabukicho from Yakuza 4, even the shops there are mostly accurate), in the same way as Assassin's Creed, and 5 and Ishin were looking great in that regard. Oh well. Maybe I'll eBay them in a couple of years.

It seems like it's more the exact opposite: changing superficially a few things to appeal to a CoD audience (that for some reason would be suddenly interested in this kind of game if it was brown and grey) while still being, at its core, Dead Rising. It is, after all, being made by the same people, but they take orders from Capcom, and Capcom is the one who decided that presenting 3 as CoD with zombies was a good idea.
They probably wouldn't be able to put all that stuff in the game based soley on the reactions the debut got, anyway, in that timeframe. That's just too fast.

One has to be very petty and small to want to boycott another game from an awesome developer just because they are fan of a cartoon said people dislike. :( And the fan base of that cartoon, while having a vocal minority that is better avoided, has proved before to have deep pockets.

As one might expect after its launch day figure of $800 million, Grand Theft Auto 5 has hit $1 billion in sales in just its first three days on the market, Take-Two has announced. This breaks yet another record, as Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 took 15 days to reach the same mark.
Take-Two also notes that it reached the sales figure faster than feature films, as the record is currently held by The Avengers after 10 days. But to be fair, games tend to cost five or six times the amount as a movie ticket.
"Grand Theft Auto is a cultural phenomenon and Rockstar Games continues to redefine what can be achieved in interactive entertainment," said Take-Two CEO Strauss Zelnick, in the announcement. "We are incredibly proud of the extraordinary critical and commercial response to Grand Theft Auto 5."
Come November 22, you might be planning to slide your Xbox 360 out of its little nook and your shiny new Xbox One in. But if that space is vertically oriented, think again. Microsoft says the new console wasn't built to stand up.
"We don't support vertical orientation; do it at your own risk," senior director of product management Albert Panello told GameSpot. You probably could have guessed that much, considering all of the official images we've seen of the system have it laying on its belly.
Panello was sure to note that it wouldn't create a cooling problem for the console, but the disc drive could be a problem. "Because it's a slot loading drive, we just didn't design it for both." He also pointed out that, at least according to their own research, 80% of people have their Xbox 360 consoles oriented horizontally. So most people shouldn't be too put out by the requirement.

And she's Naegi's sister, which some were mentioning as a possibility but I honestly didn't believe it to be possible, until Spike Chunsoft confirmed it. Also, Fukawa and Kirigiri are shown to appear in the game, and you can also see Nanami, Hinata and Usami in the image preview. There's also a mysterious female character yet to be revealed, and maaaaaaaybe that female character may appear in Dangan Ronpa 3. This all happens between Dangan Ronpa 1 and Dangan Ronpa 2, btw.
I said I didn't care at all about this spin-off, but this new information made me swallow my words. They will reveal more about this in this week.

But if Nanami, Hinata and Usami appear as companions, that means the game may happen in a virtual world, no? I mean, it seemed possible before with how the game looked like and because the main character was using a megaphone as weapon, but this confirms it, right?

Strider is coming back. In a new eight minute gameplay video, you'll get to see what attendees of Tokyo Game Show got to play. In the demo Hiryu runs and slashes his way through a Metroidvania environment. Along the way, he'll collect various power-ups that allow him to access new parts of the level. For example, a charge attack will not only break through enemy shields, but power generators that unlock new doors. A slide attack will help you dodge bullet fire, but also bust through low grates that hide new passageways.
The video ends with a battle against a robotic dragon, and should give you a good idea of the kind of chaotic action Capcom is going for with their modern-day throwback.
Looks kinda brainless and easy

I can't watch videos at work but isn't that the same "8 minute gameplay" video we had two months ago ? http://mugenguild.com/forum/topics/capcom-announces-new-strider-152218.0.html As for health, I think they did it on purpose for that video. There was some show after that where the demo was playable and the guy who tested it for the article I read said it was possible to die if you weren't careful. Yeah, here :
Even though the first footage of the demo showed Hiryu’s locked at 40 points, regardless of the damage he took, it was possible to die in the TGS demo. Bullets do more than you’d think if you’re not paying attention… like when I was trying to do the multi-directional aerial slash from Strider 2.
edit - still can't watch it but it doesn't seem to be the same after all. Nevermind.

New Mutant League Football game kickstarter!
Quote
An all-star team of talent has been assembled to breathe new life into one of the video game industry’s most beloved, and downright brutal, sports-hybrid genres. Michael Mendheim, the original creator and lead designer of the original Mutant League Football & Hockey, is driving the effort to resurrect this classic gaming genre with a brand new game, entitled Mutant Football League™. With fan support, and a successful Kickstarter campaign, Mendheim is planning to release his Mutant Football League game on PC / Steam, Xbox LIVE, PSN, as well as on iOS and Android tablets.
I played the hell out of Mutant League Football and Hockey as a kid. I'm hoping their goal gets funded. Another game I hope gets funded on kickstarter is River City Ransom Underground. Game looks amazing and the engine will be open sourced.

Reviving the once-canceled series featuring Tycho and Gabe, Rain-Slick 3 brought the world and characters of Penny Arcade into a vibrant, varied 16-bit world featuring a deep, customizeable class system for its diverse battles.
I never really cared for Penny Arcade, so didn't follow them too closely, but I thought the third game was done some years ago, just never converted for consoles due to Arcade game policies providing issues with Penny Arcade, thus they released it PC-only? Did it never get released, then?
Eh. Well, I've seen that Cthulhu Saves the World game showing up in Xbox's suggestions like twice a day, but other than James Silva's zombie game, I never really touched Indie games. Well, looks cool. Though with a name like that and some of the cast, not sure if it's intended to be parodying stereotypes, like Duke Nukem, or to be taken seriously. The spy headquarters also makes me think of Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood's recruits, just 16-bit.

Well, the demo didn't have quite enough talking in it for David Cage to re-prove how much of an utter hack he is, but more than anything it was just incredibly boring. The controls are unforgivably laggy and sluggish, and the "action" scenes are literally nothing but waiting for the cutscene to go into slow motion and tell you to flick the right thumbstick. There's no tension, no engagement, and no real reason to care about anything that happens.

if you order on the Telltale site you get a DVD at the end of the season (I'm unsure if this applies to Steam as well but I didn't see anything suggesting it so I would assume not)

Assassin's Creed has a collection of the first 5 games (GotY edition for II) in one bundle coming out this November. Seems to be just for Europe, though, nothing on it getting released elsewhere.
Likely does not include the Assassin's Creed: Embers movie that came with Revelations as well, though I'm sure it's up somewhere online by now.

Given how massively successful both Far Cry 3 and Blood Dragon were, it's unsurprising Ubisoft would work on a sequel. And given that the number 4 comes after 3, it appears that the next Far Cry game will be called "Far Cry 4."
Cliff Martinez, composer of Drive, said he was "working on a video game called Far Cry 4" in an interview with Lost in the Multiplex. The quote has been deleted, but Joystiq has a screencap.
Ubisoft said that Far Cry would become one of the company's "major pillars," like Splinter Cell and Assassin's Creed. With music already being composed for the next game, the real question now is when will Ubisoft officially announce the game?
Team Ninja's undead action-y spin-off Yaiba: Ninja Gaiden Z is getting a PC release, publisher Tecmo Koei announced today. It's slated to launch via Steam on the same day as the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3, in "early 2014." There's no word yet on whether it'll have any fancy PC features.
Yaiba doesn't the series' usual star Ryu Hayabusa, but rather someone killed by Ryu then reanimated as a cyborg just in time for a zombie apocalypse. You know how it goes.
"At least in its early stages, Yaiba has a much more forgiving action curve than the traditional Ninja Gaiden game," our Steve wrote after playing it at E3. "Since the enemies are endless hordes of decaying people, most of the moment-to-moment combat involves slicing through enemies like butter."
Oh, how pretty and deeply unpleasant Rapture must have been before the underwater city erupted in civil war. We'll have to wait until the holiday season to visit it in BioShock Infinite's DLC mini-campaign Burial at Sea, but a new trailer gives a peek at some of the sights, sounds and story with the first five minutes of gameplay.
Burial at Sea's first episode is due this holiday season, followed by a second starring Elizabeth. Each will cost $15, but both are included along with the first DLC in the $20 season pass.

They really wanna sell that extra garbage no one gave 1 fuck about, here I was thinking I'd save simply because I didn't want that extra 2 second dev time shit they put out in that season pass, but if i dont wanna pay 20$ i pay an extra 10$ for the content thats some what decent. At least Metro Last Light devs arent ALL like them and since I didn't want the arena or level creator im paying for cheaper for the story based missions sepretly.

Rule34 is meant to be a humor website, it's not meant for "serious" porn. It's to shock you at what you can find porn of.

That's not really the point though. Porn is porn, even if it's just for laughs. The creator of Bioshock found porn of his OC, Elizabeth, and he was hurt with that and some people on Reddit decided to add salt to the wound by rubbing it in.

Seems pretty damn insulting people would do that in the first place....but then, that's likely their reason, eh?
He might as well get off the internet if that's the case. You make it, there will be porn of it. Elizabeth is as fanservice as they come. What did he expect?
He should have seen how they would react from a mile away.
Something tells me he's joking about this especially when said Elizabeth is like a daughter to him.

For real, maybe if you didn't want people sexualizing your "daughter" you shouldn't have intentionally made her have unrealistically gigantic boobs and a low neckline and make the camera shoved up against them in cutscenes.
....that post sounded uncomfortably like people who blame rape victims by say they were "asking for it" and could probably be worded better.

So the date of release for the new Yugioh game will be in December 15th. I would be more hype if it wasn't because... well... the DS games weren't really good. I prefered the PSP games a lot, though it had its own amount of troubles.
DS:
Spoiler, click to toggle visibilty
+ More game mode options. + An interesting story (not all of them). + Customization options for your character. + Monsters would appear outside the cards. - TEEEEEEERRIBLE GRAPHICS. - Lag. Specially in online, oh god the lag. - The AI wasn't really good.
PSP:
Spoiler, click to toggle visibilty
+ Decent AI, with some interesting combos sometimes. + Decent connection for online duels. + Good graphics. + You could play using the anime only cards, which was kind of interesting sometimes, specially against some enemies. - Only two game modes. - The AI is not clever enough for team duels, sometimes screwing you completely. - Story mode is zzzzzzzzZZZZZZZzzzzzzz
Honestly, I really prefered the PSP games. But I want to give it a chance to the DS games since they're doing it for 3DS. I do hope I don't have to see lag nor that low quality graphics again. I do hope that videos about the game don't show that quality again.

The canceled Saints Row the Third expansion sees new life as the first DLC mission pack for Saints Row IV. In this alternate take on the Zin invasion storyline, Zinyak and the legions of his alien empire trap the Saints in a virtual world run by a mad AI program known as the Dominatrix. In order to thwart her nefarious schemes and escape to the real world, the Saints will have to counter her army of gimps and sex-workers, shut down her demented simulation, and make unlikely allies along the way. Includes behind-the-scenes commentary and the return of some fan-favorite characters.

Deus Ex: Human Revolution Director's Cut is set to arrive on October 22. Fans that have already paid and played the original probably don't want to pay for a double-dip. Thankfully, Square Enix has heard fan concerns and has promised that the PC version of Human Revolution can be upgraded to the Director's Cut at a discounted rate.
Square Enix's blog notes that players with registered Steam copies of Human Revolution can receive the Director's Cut for $9.99, which is half-off the game's full retail price. Players that own both Human Revolution and the Missing Link DLC can upgrade for only $4.99.
This deal only applies to the PC version of the game. Human Revolution's Director's Cut is also coming to Xbox 360, PS3, and Wii U.

Yes. They're pretty pathetic. Still, Microsoft is making use of those by importing the core pieces and assembling them together in Manaus to get the low, low price of 1,000 USD for the XBONE. PS4 will probably win at the grey market here, but the official market will only consume XBONEs...

Importing taxes for the industry fall between 30% to 70% of the price of the good, plus handling. 70% of $400 plus, let's say, $50 for customs paperwork is $315, for a total of $715. Say that we want a mark up of 100% profit over that price. The total is $1430, which is still lower than $1840.

One director from 6, one director from 13, one from 14, and one from 15. Two of which being Squenix's biggest failures as far as FF goes (14ARR worked well but it's still an MMO) and another one from a game that isn't even out yet, who earned his seat by working on 14 according to the article.
Title: Re: gaming news that don't deserve their own thread
Post by: SNT on October 18, 2013, 11:01:36 am
The director from 13 is also a director from 7, 10 and 10-2, the director from 14 is also a chief from DQX, and the director from XV also had a hand in Type-0, CC and BC. On top of that, Kitase also did 5, 7, 8, 10 and 10-2. Considering people like Sakaguchi and Matsuno aren't with the company at all any more, I'd say that's a pretty good lineup.
But okay, would you rather see Nomura there? The guy that gave us All The Bravest?

You disregard what Nomura did in the past because he recently did All The Bravest, I disregard what the others did in the past because they recently did 13 and an MMO. Yes, I'd see Nomura in there.

You said yourself, ARR worked well. And regardless of what you think of 13, it is financially a successful installment in the franchise. I don't like 7 or 10, but I don't pretend they were massive flops.
So you can throw as big a hissy fit as you want about what you personally don't like, the fact remains that this is still a positive move.

Bawww microtransactions in an explicitely cash cow app that has no effect on the direction of the main series All the Bravest also sold well despite terrible reviews, what's your point ? Mine is that 13 is a numbered entry unlike ATB which is openly a cash cow but just on the side of the series, and that if they put people from 13 on a board about quality review, it means they'll keep doing what they did with 13, and even if that sold well and it's a positive move in term of money, it's still a shit direction for a FF game. And go fuck yourself about comments on personal preferences when you're bashing on Nomura for ATB.

And don't act like it's just my personal preference, it's not just me deciding that I didn't like this game and therefore FF should never be like that again, stop trying to make it personal.

You have a funny definition of "repeatedly". You're also missing the point of this group entirely.
The fact that they're forming this committee to ensure the quality of future FF games at all, suggests that they recognize the current quality of FF games is lacking. They recognize faults with their latest products, and they want to counter-strategize. How is this a bad thing?

Look, again, you're the one who started saying it was a good news that the guy who did ATB wasn't on it, just because you didn't like ATB. You're also making an assumption there, and you're asking if your hypothetical situation is good or not. What you describe is good, but you can't claim that it's what's happening. As for the people on it, you're the one who started shitting on a couple of other guys for specific games they worked on while ignoring their other games, so you're in no position to tell me off for doing the same. You're also claiming FF13 is well liked only because it sold well, while ignoring that the exact same thing is happening with ATB, it's selling well despite terrible reviews. It's not just my opinion no matter how much you disagree with it.

It's not that I'm trying to shit on MMOs, but I'm willing to say they should consider creating a different brand name for the MMO universes. It's a different public. They created the Tactics name to create a slightly different kind of RPG, and then they decided to split into the Type-0 brand to "test different things", to me it's the same with the MMOs.

Like its predecessor, the PlayStation 4 will have a user-replacable hard drive. We haven't known exactly how since the system hasn't hit stores, but we've just gotten our first glimpse at the process.
According to German site Computer Bild (via IGN), the hard drive is located underneath a glossy panel on the top of the system. That panel can be removed with a torx screwdriver. It notes that since the system has a 2.5" laptop HDD by default, you could slip in a solid state drive.
It only took them about 21 seconds to swap it out, so all in all it seems pretty easy to do.
This appears to be a dev kit, mind you, so the consumer box might be more difficult. But, the PS3 process was easy enough, so it seems likely Sony would follow suit. The PlayStation 4 is launching with a 500GB hard drive, but as Sony shifts its focus toward digital libraries you may want to consider upgrading eventually

Good luck pushing game streaming outside of some countries in Europe and the USA. Even in 15 years. Also I doubt physical copies will disappear, too many people will still want them so we'll most likely still get collector's editions with tons of goodies and whatnot.

Now let's imagine we would have 1998..in other words 15 years ago and i would have mentioned it in one of the early forums that 6k-50k dsl connections would be the standard in 15 years and 10-50GB big games can be downloaded in a few hours or even less + that almost every household in the industrynations has a broadband internet connection.
How important are physical copies on the PC market today in 2013 already because Steam's giant success over the years?
They will dissapear..its just a matter of time.
Title: Re: gaming news that don't deserve their own thread
Post by: -Red- on October 21, 2013, 04:31:57 pm
That was the standard around the world back then. Then we all got basic broadband internet which was still supported by the old telephone cables. Nowadays you have speeds like 20 or 50 mb/s yet most of the countries don't have more than 1 or 2 mb/s because more speed would require ALL the cables in the city/cities to be replaced and some infrastructure tweaks... yeah I don't see that happen around many places anytime soon :P
BUT I think game streaming will be an optional feature in the next years. As long as you let people still install their games there should be no problems (I mean you may want to actually use your internet for downloads and whatnot while playing anyway, requiring its full speed for something else than playing).

In the next years..yeah..in the next 1-7 years. After this console generation it is over with the installing of games.

Why would you remove a feature that could potentially make you lose around 80% of your customers? Streaming an AAAA quality game that could be released in 7 years will most likely require a fuckton of internet speed, speed that only 20% of the countries from the world will most likely have by then.
I don't see why would anybody remove the install feature and make streaming obligatory, Letting people install games would not affect anybody in a negative way. Imagine if you did that to the PC userbase? Shit would hit the fan very fast.

Installing games are the future, streaming is only going to be a convenience. If someone tries to force streaming within the next 15 years or so, it will be as big a shitstorm as Microsoft with the DRM thing. Given recent events, I don't think anyone will be trying that.
Physical copies will fade, but not die out completely (it will essentially go the way of the music industry), especially since merchandising will still be prevalent.

Are you aware that porting VS games takes them 2-3 years now since it's one of the most profitable arcade games and they want to milk the arcades as much as they can? If I recall correctly EXVS FB got announced at the end of in 2011 (It was around the same date they released the console port for EXVS), got released in early 2012 and now we're getting the port until early 2014. The same cycle is guaranteed to happen again, they're for sure moving on to PS4 in two/three years.

Kickstarter has quickly become a seriously important part of the gaming world, this news is very much on topic.
Stop being a backseat mod, this thread does not need such a strict, narrow definition of the posts that are allowed. The only place that is true is the release/project sections. Because they're special.
But these constant "oh no this isn't on topic this is terrible" posts? Those are actually off-topic. Save it for when it actually matters.
I can't identify the suit on the left. I feel so ashamed. :(
Looks like a hybrid of GP01Fb, Strike, and V2, but most probably it's just another new MS like Extreme Gundam (http://www.bluefincorp.com/catalog/media/catalog/product/cache/1/image/d99b96fdfac3c3b0fb10c47728c64410/1/6/164267-hg-extreme-gundam-a.jpg), maybe even an alternate mode for it.

Valve was able to launch an entirely new digital distribution platform by making Half-Life 2 exclusive to Steam. With SteamOS around the corner, gamers were curious: would the company do the same and make an exclusive game for their platform? The answer is "no."
Valve's Greg Comer confirmed: "you won't see an exclusive killer app for SteamOS from us. We're not going to be doing that kind of thing."
Sorry conspiracy theorists, it doesn't seem like Half-Life 3 will be a SteamOS-exclusive.
Third-party games are also unlikely to go exclusive to Valve's Linux-based OS. Anna Sweet told IGN: "Whenever we talk to third-party partners, we encourage them to put their games in as many places as possible, including not on our platforms," she said. "Because we think that customers are everywhere, and they want to put their games wherever customers are. That would go against our whole philosophy, to launch something that's exclusive to SteamOS or Steam machines."

Not the first time that a company used that formula for a game. They did the same with the last two Harry Potter games, turning them into terrible CoD games. I doubt you will be able to stand in the open and shoot like crazy in this game, I believe they will force you to cover a lot, which will give me the same unsatisfied feeling as it gave me with Duke Nukem Forever. Or maybe you'll be able to if the AI is totally dumb.
But it really doesn't matter. It's a movie based game, so 99% chance it will be terrible.

Are you serious? There's so little to do during cutscenes already. Having recycled animations from OTHER games is just even more fucked up. Is not even a homage that was supposed to be noticed or a wink to past games (Like Blaze's death animation in MK Armageddon, which is a mere animation at the end of a fight, not even a cutscene), these are actual cutscenes with recycled animation for the sake of laziness (With the same camera to boot!).
I'm actually ok with gameplay being similar because it has to respect rules of the genre and stay in a familiar ground for people who follow the games (Imagine Modern Warfare 4 becoming a tower defense) and I don't even care about the game becoming stale because I don't play COD anyway. Cutscenes though? They're supposed to be new, and showcase a new story, what the hell is this?

About CoD Ghosts, it appears multiplayer Frame Rate suffers quite a bit, making it noticeable that it cannot run at 60FPS, topping at 45FPS in some parts on a GTX Titan. Also, I've seen reports of micro-stutter too, and also the quality of the graphics isn't good enough, even in the highest resolution. Plus the system requirements seem to be kind of ridiculous, needing 50GB of disk and 6GB of RAM, and even if you fulfill them you still get the problems it seems. All of this for PC, btw.
This article and video really shows what I'm talking about:

Yeah, the article I posted showed that. There was also a patch that allowed you to increase the FoV even more for Multiplayer only (because it's locked at 65 which isn't good enough), but Activision made sure to send a Cease & Desist to the guy that released the patch. Here some info about it:

The dev team's cut and paste approach was going to be exposed sooner or later. When it feels like you're playing the same game over and over, chances are it is. Sad part is everyone is still going to buy it because you know, my friend has it or whatever. I'd love to hope that the mass public would choose a better option but that's hoping a bit too much.
I knew that (it took me a little while to figure out the reference though), but since most of the tweets didn't and assumed "crossover," I just went with it.

I knew Ghosts was going to suck, but holy shit I didn't expect the reused animations. At this point, Activision might as well scrap the empty shell of Infinity Ward, let Treyarch be the only developer for it and make it a bi-annual series.
But then again, no one gives a damn as long as the Multiplayer is good since that's the only reason anyone would even play COD.

I concur, I fucking love Treyarchs campaigns, always feel interesting, far less cliches and I still can't believe that Black Ops 2 had MORE ending and choices then hot garbage like Mass Effect 3 or Dragon Age 2. Fuck their MP in Black Ops 2, keep that shit as far as possible. Connections in it were and still are god awful.

Even if the connection wasn't as awful, there's the matter of some strange balance choices like ridiculously good EMP nades and making long barrel shotguns a possibility. Hoping 3ARC gets their balance right next year since BO2 had so much potential.

Mobile cash-in games require minimal development cost and time, it's not like they're sacrificing the next Capcom blockbuster just for this, moreover, the game industry is moving towards to mobile games, and it's not like Capcom is the only one who does this.

Because BoF "fans" didn't react the same way when BoF6 was revealed to be a mobile social game. Right. Megaman fanbase is more vocal, though even through its disappointingly Sonic-level fantardery, the outcry is justified but at this point it's just beating a dead horse.
Also nobody gives a fuck about Onimusha anymore. Which is kinda sad but at the same time the series never had any exposure outside of cameos and the last social game, which wasn't ill received. In fact, people hope it stays that way in fear of the formula getting fucked to high heaven.

They're not gonna idly accept that their beloved franchise is dead, as big as it was and still is. They're gaming's Seymour Asses, forever hopeful for a return to form.

Post by: S.D. on November 15, 2013, 04:54:09 am
I'm preeeetty sure that the reaction to BoF6 was nowhere near comparable to the reaction to Xover (Especially since people would have a bigger reason to be upset at 6 since that's an actual numbered sequel, not a spinoff)
And I could mention any other "dead" franchise (Darkstalkers, Rival Schools, Cyberbots... pretty much anything that isn't Monster Hunter, Resident Evil or Street Fighter), but yes, Megaman fans are way more vocal and self entitled (And I don't even really get why, it's not like there's nothing to look forward to, the D-Arts are amazing and they got 9 and 10 not too long ago)
I guess the wound left by Legends 3 is still open, whatever.

The Megaman outrage didn't exist before Capcom started showing up Legends 3, MM Online and all those other stuff and then pulled them all out, only to give a boring phone game and making references left and right. And BBA Megaman in SFxTK. Capcom teased everyone with, what, three games ? And then backtracked hard and gave random crap that means nothing instead. That's like 5 to 10 years worth of gaming here they dangled in front of everyone and then took away. The fanbases for Rival Schools and Onimusha don't have nearly as much credit to get mad at Capcom, they simply stopped making those games. And the fanbases for BoF6 and Darkstalkers have entirely different reasons to be mad (different from Megaman's and different from each other).

The puzzle-platformer is due to launch first on PlayStation 4, PS3, and Vita, developed by Just Add Water, the folks behind the HD revamp of Oddworld: Stranger's Wrath, and published by Oddworld Inhabitants. PC, Mac, Linux, and Wii U versions will follow after a few weeks.

I really want a Fallout game that uses the power of the Skyrim engine but modified, but I also wanna see a series that revolves around the world of Fallout. How it started, the choices of the lone wanderer, etc.
If it IS Fallout 4, then I hope that we get a mission/DLC that involves going to different countries such as China, Japan, etc. That concept always intrigued me, and i've always dreamed of that in a Fallout game.
Whatever it is, i'll be happy since it's Fallout. Fallout4life

I heard about all this a few days ago ,but wasn't really sure it was legit or not. I think the trademark filing is starting to tip the scales for me.
The Internet exploded in speculation as it turned out that a few days ago, Bethesda filed for a Fallout 4 trademark with the Office for the Harmonization of the Internal Market through their usual legal firm, DLA Piper. ...
Now, does that mean anything? Maybe. Digging up the trademark filing for Fallout: New Vegas, it can be plainly seen that the European trademark was registered in October 2009, in Nice classes 9 and 41, about four months before the teaser trailer was released in February 2010. This might be a similar situation. Might just be the company protecting its IP.
Is it related to the thesurvivor2299.com website? That remains to be seen. Reddit users have traced the countdown code to a Polish web developer, Krzysztof Furtak. The code is available publicly under the GNU GPL license. Does this explain the presence of Polish variables in the code? Maybe. It doesn't explain, however, why the site was initially hosted on a Polish server or why a multimillion dollar gaming company would use a GPL code when they have enough web designers of their own. A strong dose of skepticism is recommended. Stay tuned for more information.
There's also a related tumblr page that had images of the "4" logo and other misc. sound files posted. It looks like they've all been taken down though. http://12072299.tumblr.com/

oh no gamers, there seems to be some turmoil in the twitch community because an admin added a horrible furry emoticon (http://i1.minus.com/i2aFIu2Ro7TQl.png)
Quote
Here’s the deal:
Horror is a lead Twitch admin who happens to be a gay furry. He made his boyfriend’s fursona into a global twitch emote which pissed a lot of people off because it is considered inappropriate for twitch (the created emote for the fursona is also underage btw). He has also been very arrogant, disrespectful, and egotistical towards streamers and viewers in the past.
Anyway, speedrunner Duke_Bilgewater made a comment/joke to Horror that said: “Hey Horror, what’s the easiest way into your pants so I can get a global emote too?”
Horror proceeded to IP ban him from Twitch.
This set off a chain of reactions that resulted in a lot of streamers and viewers preaching “Remove Horror”
Cyepher (maybe spelled wrong) also got ALL of his emotes banned simply the weren’t considered “appropriate” even though they are 100x more appropriate than Horror’s.
As a result, popular streamers Werster and Peaches also got banned and had their accounts removed for supporting the “Remove Horror” campaign. (Peaches and Werster appear to be IP banned as well, but there is no confirmation on this that I know of yet).
Peaches created controversy by naming his stream “Using my keyboard to remove Horror” and it was changed to “Using my keyboard to remove” by Twitch staff member Jason. Jason threatened to remove Peaches if he changed it back. Peaches changed the stream title to “Using my keyboard to remove Horrific zombies” and was later banned after his stream ended.
As of right now, streamers are being banned left and right, too many to even name in this document. A few others that have been removed are Cruxit, Dugongue, and ChalkedJanitor.
Now, everyone is becoming super pissed at Twitch and the blatant disrespect and unprofessionalism of Horror and his rampant banning. Also, Twitch staff member Jason has also said that he sees no issue with Horror’s actions and will not remove him from Twitch.
And just to clarify, nobody, including myself, is hating on Horror for being gay or for being a furry. He can live any lifestyle he chooses and that is of no concern to me or any of us. What we are pissed at is his behavior. The way he disrespects viewers and abuses his power is what is pissing off all of us.
So far, that’s the story.

We at Twitch apologize for our role in what has been an unfortunate and ugly chapter for the streaming community. We'd like to repair the damage that has been done to the relationship between Twitch and the Speedrunning community, in particular. For context, here is a summary of the events as Twitch understands they occurred: Twitch discovered that copyrighted images had been uploaded as emoticons to cyghfer’s chatroom on Twitch. Twitch policy clearly forbids unlicensed images from being used as subscription emoticons. One of our staff members, Horror, notified cyghfer of this violation and removed the emoticons. Additionally, of the three emoticons which were removed, only two were actually unlicensed. One of them was actually licensed under Creative Commons and should not have been removed. We have notified cyghfer of our mistake in this matter. Several Twitch users begin looking into our general policy for emoticons on Twitch, as they felt this policy was being enforced unevenly. One discovered the NightLight emoticon, a globally available emoticon, had been promoted to global status as a personal favor. It was clearly a licensed image however, as it had been commissioned explicitly as an emoticon for the Twitch site. The NightLight emoticon should not have been approved as a global emoticon and has been removed by request of the channel owner. In reaction to this discovery about the NightLight emoticon and the previous emoticon removals, many users began to make jokes and other much less funny derogatory and/or offensive remarks in chat. Additionally, many of these users began harassing our staff and admins outside of Twitch chat using other social media channels. Horror then banned many users from the Twitch site for this behavior. Harassment and/or defamation of any user on the site, including a staff member, is clearly against the Twitch terms of service. Some of the banned user’s remarks clearly cross this line, and those users were correctly banned. Other users made more innocuous remarks and should not have been banned. Horror was too close to this situation and should have recused himself in favor of less conflicted moderators. Being personally involved led to very poor decisions being made. This whole situation began blowing up outside Twitch, including but not limited to Twitter and Reddit. One of our volunteer admins took it upon themselves to attempt to censor threads on Reddit. This was obviously a mistake, was not approved by Twitch, and the volunteer admin has since been removed. We at Twitch do not believe in censoring discussion, and more to the point know that it’s doomed to failure. We take this incident very seriously and apologize for not better managing our staff, admins and policies regarding community moderation. There were several key mistakes made by Twitch in this process: We failed to provide a valued partner with proper support when we needed to remove their unlicensed emoticons We allowed a questionable emoticon to be made available in global chat We failed to properly train our staff members to recuse themselves from personally involved situations, and as a result poor moderation decisions were made. We did not have the structure or training in place in our moderation policies and training to deal with this episode properly. What we're doing now and in the future: Twitch users who were unfairly banned due to this incident are being systematically unbanned today. The Twitch partners who were banned due to this incident have been provisionally unbanned pending investigation. The NightLight emoticon has been removed. Disciplinary action is being taken with regard to Twitch staff and members of the volunteer admin team who overstepped their authority. Due to this incident, we are embarking on a full review of Twitch admin policies and community moderation procedures. Horror has voluntarily stepped back from public facing moderation work at Twitch, as right now pretty much every moderation issue will be tainted by this episode. In Our Defense: Note that harassment and defamation (as opposed to criticism) of Twitch employees, partners, users, broadcasters, and humans in general is strictly prohibited by our terms of service and remain grounds for removal.

Spotted by Joystiq (http://www.joystiq.com/2013/11/25/new-siren-game-listed-among-upcoming-ps4-releases-in-romania/), the release mentions "Siren" amongst upcoming PS4 games in a list that also mentions Infamous: Second Son and The Order: 1886.
The last Siren game released on PS3 in 2008. Siren: Blood Curse was made available as one of the first episodic games on PlayStation Network, with the horror adventure split up into multiple parts.

Microtransactions, subscriptions will define next-gen, says Avalanche boss (http://www.gamespot.com/articles/microtransactions-subscriptions-will-define-next-gen-says-avalanche-boss/1100-6416382/)
Quote
"It is that simple," says Just Cause studio founder Christofer Sundberg.
Microtransactions and subscriptions will define the next generation of gaming, Just Cause developer Avalanche Studios founder and creative director Christofer Sundberg has said.
"Micro-transactions, subscriptions, and other biz models will be the next generation of games. It is that simple," Sundberg said on Twitter recently.
Responding to a question from Eurogamer, Sundberg explained that the "free-to-play" moniker has "become a label for low quality, unfortunately."
"But basically that's where we're heading. There will be f-ups for sure," he added." Hopefully we can lower the initial price point and build the game with the community instead."
Sundberg said previously that if the "free-to-play" title is swapped out for something new, then such games can be more widely accepted.
This is not the first time Sundberg, who is currently working on next-generation action game Mad Max, has predicted great change for the industry in times ahead. Earlier this month, he said Call of Duty: Ghosts and Battlefield 4 represent the "end of an era."
"I don't believe in the future for [Call of Duty] and I believe that [Battlefield] will live on as an [multiplayer] game," Sundberg said at the time.

Microsoft has issued a make-good plan for defective Xbox One launch consoles. The company has acknowledged bad disc drives among a "very small number" of customers, and is offering those affected a free game for their troubles.
A support e-mail reported by Polygon states that owners of defective consoles will get one of four games published by Microsoft Game Studios. Those include Dead Rising 3, Forza Motorsport 5, Ryse: Son of Rome, and Zoo Tycoon. Since the games will be downloadable, users will be able to play them despite the disc drive problems.
"While a replacement console is on its way, we want to ensure our advance exchange customers can stay in the game," Microsoft said in a statement. "We will provide each of them with a free digital download of one of the launch titles published by Microsoft Studios."
Cult favorite Bully has gotten another trademark registration, signaling a possible sequel. Take-Two Interactive filed a trademark in Europe for the title "Bully Bullworth Academy: Canis Canem Edit."
The trademark (http://oami.europa.eu/CTMOnline/RequestManager/en_DetailCTM_NoReg#) (via Polygon (http://www.polygon.com/2013/11/25/5144240/take-two-files-trademark-for-bully-bullworth-academy)) was filed on November 20, and is still under examination. The Latin portion of the title was the original game's name in the UK, and translates to "dog eat dog."
Take-Two registered a trademark in July, simply for Bully, but the status was updated earlier this month with a note that it had been refused. In September, Rockstar's Dan Houser said he was interested in making a sequel, and that it could go in "a lot of directions."

Nah, EA will be fine. There are a few companies that can survive practically anything (Microsoft, Activision, and Nintendo come to mind). Even if their products are underwhelming, they have too many mindless sheep loyal customers to be affected by even moderate (read: minimal) losses.
It would take losing a massive (billion dollar) lawsuit to cripple EA.

It's not the same in Japan. While in the west it's just dominating because casuals outnumber hardcore gamers. The mobile games that the West churns out are mostly just glorified flash games.
In Japan the gaming industry itself is leaning towards mobile. Game developers there are making games exclusively for mobile phones.
Japan still care about handhelds though because 3DS is what's dominating there.

Everyone's doing it because console sales alone isn't enough. They're cheap to make, and easy to get people to spend their income (and possibly addicted).
Provided there aren't bigger issues we don't know about, this will keep Capcom in the black for the time being.

Don't forget people usually by the phones since they want to make more use of their non-gaming, cellphone and media features. (Won't deny that they're freaking expensive nowadays though) They probably don't actually have much interest in games at this time. The little games of phones might as well be a bonus that the consumers stay for. Having realized how fun, yet cheap the games could be.
From my personal perceptive, the reason why they don't go out to buy console games after this is since smartphone games are usually MUCH cheaper than the games we all regularly buy. I guess one could think of it as if they've been spoiled by the prices of smartphone games. It kinda irritates me to see someone saying a game is overpriced when said game is a console/handheld port that cost over 75% less than their original counterpart.

All retail Xbox One consoles will eventually be able to turn into developer units. However, an Xbox One developer has revealed how to unlock some of that functionality right now. Going into Settings and pressing left bumper, right bumper, left trigger, and right trigger will enable what many are calling "devkit mode." "This alone does not turn the console into a developer kit," a company representative said.
"Changing the settings in this menu is only intended for developers for Xbox One, and this alone does not turn the console into a development kit. We strongly advise consumers against changing these settings as it could result in their Xbox One becoming unusable. Customers who have put their consoles into this developer setting can revert by restoring factory defaults under Settings / System, select Restore Factory Defaults," the company told Engadget.
Here's a video showing off the process:

Square Enix announced today the Steam release of the new downloadable PC version of the popular role-playing adventure, Final Fantasy VIII at a price of $11.99.
First released in 1999, Final Fantasy VIII introduced multiple new features building on the staggering success of its predecessor. The fastest-selling Final Fantasy title up until Final Fantasy XIII, the game has gone on to sell over 8.5 million copies across platforms worldwide. With an emotional score by the renowned composer Nobuo Uematsu and including the vocal piece, "Eyes on Me", performed by Faye Wong, this is one of the most beloved entries in the Final Fantasy series. Delivering a powerful and sentimental story, players will follow the path of six elite military cadets, who’ll ultimately put their differences aside to combat a hidden threat that has gripped the country of Galbadia.
Optimized for modern high-definition PCs and fully integrated with the Steam platform, this version includes a range of new features such as a Magic Booster that enables players to power up their spells, Steam cloud support, and 45 integrated achievements to encourage players to explore various facets of the game. Also included is the Chocobo World, previously unavailable to Western players on the original release.
Quote
Magic Booster When Magic Booster is used, the player’s inventory of the following spells is increased by 100: Cure, Cura, Curaga, Fire, Fira, Blizzard, Blizzara, Thunder, Thundara, Sleep, Blind, Silence, Berserk, Bio, Esuna, Aero, Confuse, Break, Zombie This feature can be used from the launcher.
Well shit, why don't you just finish the game for them. This is what happens when people don't read the tutorials; they get it in their heads the only way to get magic is to draw, and they complain about it. Meanwhile I'm over here refining my spells like I'm supposed to and having no trouble at all.

Remedy Entertainment's Sam Lake appeared on this year's VGX to show off the first gameplay video for Xbox One-exclusive Quantum Break. The video shows off more of the game's time anomolies, as well as new dynamic cover-based shooting mechanics. Lake adds that there are numerous time-based powers to master, which Lake says are inspired by games like Max Payne.
"This is absolutely an action game," said Remedy's Oskari Hakkinen. "Those folks out there that have played Remedy Games before, Max Payne and Alan Wake, know that we do try to push the envelope in storytelling and video games, but we do that in an action game environment. So this is definitely hands-on action game with all those cinematic moments, big effects, and whatnot."
We'd previously seen the cinematic side of Quantum Break, as the story revolves around Joyce and Wilder trying to overcome the evil corporation, Monarch. Remedy reiterated on the show that Quantum Break is expected to release in early 2014.
The 2013 VGX kicked off with a world premiere trailer from Telltale Games and Gearbox Studios, who are collaborating on Tales From The Borderlands, a new episodic take on the Borderlands universe, set to come in 2014. Gearbox's Randy Pitchford appeared on the show to note that the game will feature elements from the Borderlands games with brand-new characters, along with Telltale's penchant for decision-based, story-driven gameplay.
The trailer shows off some would-be vault hunters, searching for loot, before closing with the visage of Handsome Jack. It also shows off Borderlands' highly recognizable art style. For a taste of what's coming, check out the trailer below.

Apparently its being celebrated with little chibi DoomGuys. (http://www.symbiotestudios.com/doom-20th-anniversary-space-marine.html)
I've been seeing these things in 7-Elevens and other shops all over as of late. Chibi Cortana statues mixed with chibi MLP horses mixed with chibi Terminator. Some reason those are the popular thing that's in now.
Still waiting for news on Doom 4.

You have to jump into that infamous spike pit in Mystic Cave Zone 2, the one where if you fell into as super sonic you would've been forced to wait until your rings drained out? They got rid of the spikes and instead put a bottomless pit that sends you to HPZ.

Some new Soma shots
Quote
Our first peek at Frictional's Soma was more a hypothetical, showing off a carefully crafted snippet intended to capture the general dreadful feel of the game than any specific piece. A new trailer from the Amnesia creator's latest, however, gives a tour of some actual in-game environment, and yes, they are still terrible.
The "environment highlight" video shows us a place called 'Upsilon,' wherever and whatever that is. Soma's two live-action teaser trailers showed people examining eerie artifacts, though it's not yet clear if we'll be visiting these labs or simply this world of supernatural sci-fi.
Soma is slated to launch in 2015 on PC and PlayStation 4.

Not sure how big this news worthy is, but I'll just leave it here.
Apparently, Capcom is pulling MvC titles like MvC2, UMvC3 from PSN, and XBox Live stores. No word as to "WHY" they're doing it though. Sauce: Capcom Unity (http://www.capcom-unity.com/combofiend/blog/2013/12/13/last-days-for-umvc3-and-mvc2-on-psnxbla-store) Some speculate its due to losing the latest Marvel licenses. But it's not confirmed.

Title: Re: gaming news that don't deserve their own thread
Post by: Bastard Walt on December 19, 2013, 04:56:44 pm
Well, that's what the special edition was for, hearing the metal tracks as standalone songs.
I really don't feel the same hype listening to the songs by themselves. The crescendo comes from playing the game, and getting the good part of the track as a reward. Platuinum went to great AI and game design extents to make this happen this way, and I really appreciate their vision. They get no objections from me, I think it's a super kick-ass game.
Like I was telling Rednavi, I'll be playing this game for years to come, just like MGS2
Title: Re: gaming news that don't deserve their own thread
Post by: -Red- on December 19, 2013, 05:12:08 pm
That's the price to pay when you create a soundtrack with dynamic changes in mind. You have to play the game to really enjoy them and MGR has an excellent way to handle the dynamic music. It kind of reminds me of MGS3's music (especially its boss fights music changes back then).
Some of the beta tracks sound unpolished BUT they're so different to the final versions that they're worth listening to anyway. I do like some of them more though (Like Red Sun (Original Version), the part that starts at 1:07 would sound amazing with a few more tweaks).
I'll definitely going to play MGR for a looooong time considering how hardcore the game is when it comes to requirements for 100% completion (No MGS2 for me though, one person can only bear that game for so long before becoming insane. I think finishing the game more than 40 times, split between Sons of Liberty and Substance is enough punishment. Although I would totally give the HD rerelase a try).

Okay so the PC port of MGR:R has the options to view any and all cutscenes and codec calls individually, change Zandatsu cutting limit via ZANGEKI option, and let you fight bosses individually without having to go through the entire chapter(s)! (granted you fought them already)

Post by: Bastard Walt on December 19, 2013, 09:16:05 pm
In my experience, none of it really matters. Real talk here.
Spoiler, click to toggle visibilty
If you wanna do a BOSS RUSH Megaman 1 style, just play Chapter R-04. You'll fight a Mistral Clone, then a Monsoon Clone, and finally Sundowner, all in the same level. The best boss you'll encounter is *still* the Metal Gear Ray you find 2 minutes into the game ... unless for whatever reason you enjoy the fucking Hokuto No Ken Marathon that is the last boss stage.
Cutting Limit is unnecessary IMO, even in the 360 (which is an overall inferior machine to the PS3) I've cut EVERYTHING I've possibly could before running out of Zandatsu Meter without suffering from slowdowns or anything like that (Yeah, cutting stuff isn't infinite or free, surprise surprise if you haven't played this game).
Codec Calls are LARGELY irrelevant, you miss little to nothing if you skip them (which you can't for the first seconds, because the game uses this as a diversion for you not to notice it's loading everything in the background), and there's only probably 2 Cutscenes worth watching again.
These features are "icing on the cake" for PC users to keep that illusion of controlling the settings on their games, and superiority VS consoles. The meat of this game is still how rewarding is actually PLAYING the game, feeling the power of finally being THE Cyborg Ninja.
The only thing I believe the PC version will be superior on are skin/model mods, but that's a given. I just paid $3 for the Gray Fox suit, I wish it had been an unlockable. In any case, that suit really gave a whole new dimension to the game for me.
Title: Re: gaming news that don't deserve their own thread
Post by: Nomechy on December 19, 2013, 09:22:04 pm
The clone fights are really cut down(HEH) compared to the actual fights and it would be really nice to just do any fight at any time. Throw in the Sam DLC versions for extra challenge.
Do agree about the cutting and codec stuff, but it would still be nice little things to have.
Also the final boss stage is fucking awesome. YOU'RE TALKING SHIT WALT.
Title: Re: gaming news that don't deserve their own thread
Post by: Shwa on December 19, 2013, 09:24:57 pm
At a certain point, cutting will stop on consoles due to potential memory fuckups as proven by the past demos. Now that it's on PC you'll supposedly be able to cut as much off an enemy as you want. A novelty, but it's appreciated.
And those Mistral and Monsoon clone fights aren't as awesome as the real fights themselves. This boss fight option supposedly includes the DLC as well, which is pretty cool for people who just want to go straight for Kamsin or Sam Vs. Armstrong.
also bitch pls those manual codec calls are awesome

Also the final boss stage is fucking awesome. YOU'RE TALKING SHIT WALT.
It's a fucking 40 minute Marathon of HnK style nonsense against a 400 pound, Musclebound Senator on NanoMachine Steroids. It sounds awesome, it's over the top...
... but I still keep going back to my samurai fight VS Sam. That's a lot more technical and makes a whole lotta more sense, since he's the guy who Clarence Boddicker'd Raiden's Alex Murphy into Robocop Samurai 2020 the movie

Now to hope that they will look at Ninja Gaiden Black to see everything they did right there, take it as a base and improve from there... NG2 and NG3 (not the awesome master pieces that were the NES ones) were pretty bland when compared to Black.
This. Just this. Bring back the difficulty and the HUGE world map instead of the individual stages, I'm sure it wouldn't be too hard to have a nice variety of environments, come on you just did that in the first game!

Actually, those designs (characters and world) somewhat remind me of the Secret[/Legend/etc.] of Mana series, maybe a tiny bit of Chrono Trigger (of course I know the art style is different, but it's a vibe I'm getting from the general design). I'm not sure which part of that you guys want to bitchfit about judging from those screens (I didn't bother reading the text but I didn't presume many of you can read Japanese). I worshipped BoF4 when it came out, and while this is certainly a big step down from 4 (from what little we can see at least), it definitely is a step up from BoF5. ... In fact, those designs do also remind me of BoF4 a bit, now that I think about it, but the colors and the kind-of-cartoonish backgrounds made me think of Legend of Mana first. At least it's not fashion victims/pretty boys and it's not dark-and-cool-teen-angst-ish. If this was a PS1 / PS2 / PSP title I'd be curious to see it develop. Even if I usually hate generic-main-characters (unless it's a Tactics game).

I don't know much about Breath of Fire but I do think that those designs look absurdly generic. They've all got that stock JRPG look of being ridiculously over-designed and yet still totally bland.

In fact, those designs do also remind me of BoF4 a bit,
The closest to being even remotely reminiscent of the BoF4 designs are the animal people and Scias is still a million times better of a design than they are. The other characters look like they're from a newgrounds flash game. Hell, that first screenshot looked like it came from a Meet N' Fuck game.
Title: Re: gaming news that don't deserve their own thread
Post by: DKDC on January 01, 2014, 03:29:22 am
Yeah, compared to BoF4 that's the only downside I can see. I loved 4, I could never play more than half of 3, and barely touched the first two, but it's certain that a big part of the franchise was how great each character was (Fou-Lu was a freaking awesome character). We've yet to see if there will be any story for this and how the main cast will be introduced. But still, even if it's not really anywhere on the level of past BoFs and even if the characters being so unique disappeared, so far I'd still expect to kind of like it. The subtitle (protectors of the white dragon) still makes me expect that we'll get something story-wise. Oh, by the way, the blond chick with that very very light white dress is Nina. It does seem to me like we'll still get a Ryu, and therefore also a recognizable central cast, and we just haven't seen him yet, and the others are filler characters for your team, or something like that. The green haired chick is called... Peridot ? All the humans are called "protagonist", and the animals are called "fellow". So yeah, I'm expecting a Ryu to go with that Nina and the Protagonists are just your army.

Title: Re: gaming news that don't deserve their own thread
Post by: Shwa on January 01, 2014, 04:06:25 am
Actually regardless of time, Fou-Lu's design as a character could be considered generic considering the trope he belongs too, that being of long and pale-haired slender cold bad boy bishounen (I mean come on we've had that since the early '90s. It's even been laughed at countless times.) That, along with how he was actually written as a character, is why he is so memorable.
Now we're comparing a cliché'd yet well written antagonist from a franchise-defining game with ever slightly more generic RPG memorabilia for the same series adapted to social games, when they are but basic units? :/
As for the art, the actual artwork isn't bad but for the actual battle art, would you really expect anything more from a mobile social game? Really?

Post by: Shwa on January 01, 2014, 07:56:58 am
Well, it says in the article of the screenshots link that they put in emphasis on direct player involvement, which would explain why there is no "Ryu" as they let the players create their own character. So there you have it, you can make your own Ryu and have your own beastkin companion. That does not, however, mean that there is no Ryu in the story. If anything, he might be dead. Plot potential? (Plot in a social game isn't uncommon either, which is partially why the genre is a big hit in Japan.)
As for Nina, it says she's a descendant of the Wing clan. Now my Japanese is shit, but there are two things I can gather out of this. Either she used to be able to transform and fly or she never could and it's talking about the Wing clan.

Sum-up of the text System Complicated commands in battle are out, they want it to be intuitive. You make your party with your character and the fellows that are AI controlled. Time the skills of your character and your fellows for a combo. You can come up with tactics that use the height differences and obstacles. (this is reminding me of some Final Fantasy Tactics or Grandia) The hero you use inherits the "power of the dragon" and you can customize your hairdo, face, gender. ... Oh. Well shit. For growth, you can equip special characteristics to your abilities and the skills you remember. Your fellows can be humans, fairies, wild tribes, tigermen (called fullen ?) and such common races from the series. Online Your objective is to revive by yourself the Dragnir village that was destroyed by the Schwarz empire. The online component is to make up your own village. There's some kind of community management to progress and make your content evolve. You can have your friends visit your village, and you can intercept monsters who come to attack your friends' village. (the village building thing reminds me of the fairy village in BoF4) World - Story Over a thousand years have passed since the battle of the young man who held the power of the dragon. Getting over an era of crisis that made the world a desert, men start to live anew for an age of hope. Just when people started to look forward to a world that praises peace, the Schwarz empire, taking over small countries with a powerful army, appeared. The hero who lived in peace with the kind villagers couldn't escape the war against the empire that oppressed the majority of the continent... - Schwarz empire A small country from the North of the continent, in just a few years it became a huge empire oppressing the majority of the continent. Their military force uses an "ancient weapon" from long ago, and their armed corps seems to hold the power of the "black dragon" that only existed in legend. This gave them a huge advantage over everyone else. - Dragnir village A village where the legend of the dragon has been passed down. The heroes were living there in peace until it was destroyed by the Schwarz empire. - Weiβ kingdom A kingdom close to the Dragnir village. Knows the legend of the dragon, and is at war with the Schwarz empire that tries to rule the continent. - Dawn forest Despite the era when the desertification spread, this mysterious, small forest still remains. A legend says it's where the dragon once lived, but no one knows the details. Characters - Nina A descendant from the winged clan who were said to have evolved be able to transform into giant birds flying in the sky. She's from Wyndia which is already destroyed, but she has a reason to keep travelling. - Peridot A traveler with beautiful green hair. While traveling, she happened to stop by the Dragnir village that was destroyed by the Schwarz empire, and rescued the wounded hero.
... Okay, so no Ryu. At least not in the main cast (unless it's your create-a-generic-hero character). And you're just a random nobody peasant. Who holds the power of the dragon. Gueh. Weiβ kingdom, Schwarz empire, much originality, such unique, wow. Nevermind what I said earlier. It's trying to have some background, as some post-apocalyptic world that comes after a failed BoF story (it got so far down the shitter that it took a thousand years to get over a desertification of the world, nice job hero), so that's nice, but what you actually get to play with... is shit.
... No seriously, pardon my insisting, you turned the world into a goddamn desert for a thousand years, what the fuck happened back there ?

More than impressive, and since it's the PC that means Valve can pretty much take over.

If its any indication, they're allowing people to choose their OS when buying one(at least some did in that presentation slide Valve put up), so there may not be a HUGE push at the moment to force devs to use Linux based stuff and allow them to experiment and release as they see fit.

I don't get while Sega needs to make another Aliens game when they have tons of old IP's which they could use to make money (Streets of Rage, Daytona USA, Alex Kidd, After Burner, Space Harrier, Shenmue) though. Even if it would be just for "small" remakes or updates like DuckTales Remastered (Capcom)
Bet it has to do with them buying the license rights for Aliens games a few years ago and they try to make the best out of that, but it was a shitty move by them at that time.

Sad as it may be, sales of remakes or sequels to those titles combined probably wouldn't match the sales of a new Alien game. At least they're trying something interesting, though, looks like it could be pretty cool.

Despite the scores of Aliens: CM it sold rather well based just on the brand. Sure though the large backlash will keep Sega from HOPFULLY working with Gearbox again and having their money stolen outright.

Resident Evil 6 did not go down well with fans thanks to all the action gameplay.
was that really the issue with re6? i thought it was that it tried 3 different gameplay styles and got none of them right. i love a good horror game. i love a good action game. re6 was none of that.

I understand why the game moved on to action, it's the same characters who should damn well know what to expect by now so they come heavily armed. And doing the opposite (throwing the old characters away and coming in with a brand new cast) would be boring, because the player already knows what's going on and it would be silly to play characters who don't know shit. If they want to stick to zombie horror, the best middleground I can think of is ditch the massive zombie outbreak and stick to a closed space investigation. Massive city/big place (like 5 and 6 tried to do) can only force the characters to be heavily armed, or else they're just dumb. I liked Revelations, the boat was a closed space that prevented the "massive outbreak, zombie rush in big open streets" with small spaces, and the characters went in with tactical invasion strategies rather than "blow everything up", yet the boat itself was big enough to leave some breathing range for the story.

That's how I feel about RE6. It tried to be the jack of all trades but far from a master of any of them.

^^ this.
The new consoles can place hundreds of zombies in a street maybe, but to make them scary, 1-4 of them in a small area can be enough zombies already.
That + a bigger focus on realistic obstacles for a human ..a good physic engine maybe too would be great. Leave the big zombie outbreaks to other games
Title: Re: gaming news that don't deserve their own thread
Post by: Bastard Walt on January 16, 2014, 07:25:48 pm
Yeah, like in RE4, you're in the small Spanish Village (I know it escalates after, but bear with me) and you have no control over anything that happens there, and you find out the plot little by little; you only have 1 shady zombie weapons dealer you know nothing about. Also, in recent times, the spanish zombie flick REC happens in 1 building entirely, and it's freaking scary also. Dead Rising happens in 1 mall, and so on.
In any case, the Horror genre in general benefits from mystery and confusion, not running around packing an arsenal and shooting in slow motion VANQUISH style. They need to make it smaller and tighter, and that should help to make it scarier.

I don't care if it's as over the top as RE6, I'd be fine if it was just, well, good.
but ideally it'd be more low-key; REvelations was pretty successful, wasn't it? They know the fans were very displeased with 6, but liked Revelations, so it would seem like they'd want to make one more like the latter. But Capcom is pretty crazy...

I think Capcom went the "we can't please everyone" route and made a decision to make classic RE-type games spinoffs and the main series would be like RE6
Title: Re: gaming news that don't deserve their own thread
Post by: -Red- on January 18, 2014, 04:57:04 pm
Not gonna lie, RE6 is what made me actually get interested into RE games in general. They may have lost some customers with the stupidly progressive genre change starting with RE5, but maybe they were able to grab other people's attention to the series who previously didn't care about Resident Evil in general as well and thanks to it discover the rest of the franchise like what happened to me.
I ended up getting RE:R because I enjoyed RE6, and I enjoyed RE:R a lot. They're quite different games yet I equally enjoyed them. I do agree that we need more games like RE:R rather than 6. It fits the theme far better and RE:R is quite hard due to the more limited yet not horrible movement the old games had.
I'm actually surprised at how amazing the soundtrack for RE:R was! It proves that you can actually have a nice soundtrack for a survival horror game (Maybe not the exact genre but bear with me) and not go the lazy way most of the horror games go with stupidly boring ambient noise that's supposed to "increase the tension" when all they do is making me feel more and more bored while I play.

ULTIMATE HD EDITION OF RESIDENT EVIL® 4 COMING TO PC Pre-order Campaign on Steam® Now Live with Free Bonus Materials SAN MATEO, Calif. — Jan. 21, 2014 — Capcom, a leading worldwide developer and publisher of video games, today announced the ultimate HD edition of Resident Evil® 4 for PC digital download on Steam® globally and available as a retail version for Windows PC in Europe. PC gamers will be able to play the groundbreaking survival horror masterpiece in the highest visual fidelity ever with stunning HD running at a smooth 60 frames per second for the first time. Resident Evil 4 will be available on February 28, 2014 for $19.99/€19.99.
Alongside the announcement, the Steam pre-order campaign has also gone live today which includes a digital soundtrack with more than 60 tracks and a digital artbook for those that purchase early. Details can be found at http://store.steampowered.com/app/254700. Resident Evil 4 will include Steam platform support with Steam Achievements, Steam Cloud, Steam Trading Cards, global leaderboards, and full game controller support. The new PC version will include everything from the prior iterations including subtitle support in English, French, Italian, German, Spanish, and Japanese as well as previously released bonus content such as the Separate Ways epilogue.
Resident Evil 4 received numerous “Game of the Year” awards when it debuted and currently stands as one of the best-reviewed games of all time with an incredible 96 ranking on MetaCritic. A complete visual overhaul has been performed to bring this revered title to the highest graphical quality ever. Fully optimized for the wide screen, texts have been sharpened and textures have been upgraded on characters, backgrounds and in-game objects.
In Resident Evil 4, special agent Leon S. Kennedy is sent on a mission to rescue the U.S. President’s daughter who has been kidnapped. Finding his way to a rural village in Europe, he faces new threats that are a departure from the traditional lumbering zombie enemies of the earlier installments in the series. Leon battles horrific new creatures infested by a new threat called Las Plagas and faces off against an aggressive group of enemies including mind-controlled villagers that are tied to Los Illuminados, the mysterious cult which is behind the abduction.
To complement the exciting new direction, the game introduced a modernized control scheme, rear third person view and gameplay mechanics which have blazed the trail for subsequent action titles.
The Resident Evil® franchise, which pioneered the horror genre in video games, has sold 60 million units since 1996 and spawned a series of successful motion pictures that have grossed over $900 million worldwide. As a truly global entertainment brand, the franchise has also expanded to CG anime, manga, novels and numerous merchandising lines.

It's never going to happen, according to Kojima. Something along the lines of "if you update that game, any new feature will break the game". Pretty much like what happened with The Twin Snakes in GC. With first person shooting view you could kill almost every guard in an area standing in 1 spot. They'd need to redesign every level to make the game any challenging at all.

I'll see about installing it(or trying to I don't want to put hopes up and be a dick because fuck Windows 8 odd compatibility) and taking a screenshot, say of the tanker from the very front near the beginning, maybe overlooking towards the bridge and New York? Just try and set up a nice quality gauge.

Three remainders for the Dangan Ronpa Trigger Happy Havoc for PsVita:
1. It will come out in February 11th. 2. The game has dual audio, though they changed quite a lot of things if you compare it with the fan translation (aka made some things different compared to the japanese version, like changing Super High School Level to Ultimate). Don't forget it also has School Mode. 3. If it sells well, there's a high chance they will go for the second game too.

Uggh, I forgot about that. Anyway, Sonic games typically follow one another storywise regardless of whether the previous one was multi-platform or not. Starting with Sonic Heroes which didn't care if you were on the one system that got ports of the Adventure games and as recent as Generations which very clearly tied into the end of Colors. It might use the show's designs, though.

And yeah, I had the game, though I sold it to a friend that wanted to play it. We got the game in Europe before you guys in USA.

On the Art arguement alone, I like the art because it has a strong resemblence to FFTactics. And when I first was on that game, I admit I hated the art there too. But it grew on me as something very stylized.
So I may be purely hit with a Nolstalgia bat, yet perceptive enough to admit it. =P

Even the gray market still won't hurt capcom, as it refers to illegaly imported legal games, usually from the usa; what is done is getting them thru the border without paying any taxes, thus the games end up being cheaper than the previously mentioned legal imports.

flappy bird pulled from stores, polygon continues to be a joke
Superstar GAmes Journalist Megan Farokhmanesh of Polygon.com said:
In less than 22 hours, mobile game Flappy Bird will be removed from stores, creator Dong Nguyen announced via Twitter on Saturday afternoon.
Nguyen later tweeted that he didn't sell Flappy Bird and will continue to make games. The game maker's decision comes one day after the title was updated to include new birds and new UI elements. The update also removed a "share" button from Flappy Bird's "game over" screen.
Since its release, the mobile title has been downloaded more than 50 million times. It pulls in an average of $50,000 in ad revenue a day. Flappy Bird features minimalistic controls and requires players to shoot a bird through a maze of pipes.
Flappy Bird's surprise success drew allegations that Nguyen employed bots to boost the game's ranking in Apple's App Store. When asked about those allegations, Nguyen told a Newsweek reporter on Twitter, "It doesn't matter. Don't you think? If I did fake it, should Apple let it live for months?"
Nguyen said earlier this week he did not want attention from the media, tweeting, "Press people are overrating the success of my games. It is something I never want. Please give me peace."
We've reached out to Nguyen for comment and will update accordingly. For more on Flappy Bird, check out our discussion of the game on Friends List.

I skipped Ghosts because MW3 made me sad. I did play a few matches and the maps definitely were MW3 like a.k.a they sucked. Then there's the matter of certain equipment and weapons being even more broken than the usual brokenness you normally see, making the game feel like you have even less health than usual. Loadout it's an interesting take on BO2 Pick 10 though the points all go to perks this time around and not using secondary or attachments gave you more points for perks. No more Perk 1, 2, 3, allowing you to pick any perks you want provided you have enough points althou some perks range from "Must haves" to "Why would you even use this?". The perk freedom is nice, but I think the old system was more balanced.
Not that all of Ghosts is bad. We finally got proper soldier customization and Squads is something I want to see return. It was cool setting up your squads' loadout and having the AI act according to their loadout. I gave an AI a sniper loadout and he would pretty much pick a spot, stay in it and pick off anything he could see while the rest of the team run and gunned.

Alright, I guess multiplayer's still the same old thing. How about the other modes? if I remember correctly, there was a new mode that had aliens. How did that turn out? I'm also curious with the Campaign. How was the story? Shitty like MW3, or kinda hyped up like Black Ops 1?

The alien mode is decent enough, gives you an objective thats completable and allows you to setup loadouts to a degree and perks. Doesn't have the same feel to it the original WaW zombies gave but since its second fiddle to multiplayer there are only two maps so far and if its anything like Treyach as time goes on they get worse.
Campaign is by far the worst and if MW3 was a step down from Black Ops, then they jumped off a cliff in Ghost from Black Ops 2. Go look at BO2, they had multiple choices and ending and it wasn't just superficial shit all the time that it changed.

Who the hell plays Call of Duty for anything that isn't the Multiplayer or Treyarch Zombies?
I mean Black Ops 2 Campaign had that interesting choices and endings thing, but there was like literally only four things that really mattered for determining your ending.
Spoiler, click to toggle visibilty
-Whether you shot Mason Sr. in the head or the leg/arm. -Whether you saved Karma in either of the two missions where you can. -Whether you shoot Harper or not -Whether you kill or capture Menendez

Post by: Nanashi_1337 on February 13, 2014, 09:14:49 pm
The last paragraph of the magazine says this:
Quote
the first lords of shadow is remembered as a commendable achievement from a relatively small team working to a comparatively tight budget. it's sequel, by contrast, cannot disguise the resources with which it was made. lords of shadow 2 is clunky, ugly and deeply misguided. it's a game that sees the lord of the damned as a vehicle for rat-powered linear stealth, and that takes a future gothic-london setting and then sets the action in tower blocks and sewers. mercury steam says this will be the final game in the lords of shadow saga, and on the evidence of the cluttered, bloated and forgettable mess, it's just as well.
Also, neogaf has some parts of the review too. Search in the thread (I think it's the third page that has it):
Maybe you guys should consider if pre-ordering the game is a good idea. Can't really say if EDGE is a trustworthy source, as there's no EDGE magazine in Spain, but if you guys believe it can be trusted, well... that really sucks.

Wow, they didn't even wait to see if the first game would sell well. Apparently a voice actor said in his blog that he voiced Souda Kazuchi in English, thinking he belonged in the first game. But that guy is from the second, and if you played it or read a translated summary, you should know the amount of content already translated for this game if he has already done that job. That blog post was deleted soon after, but I'm sure you can get the info easily anywhere.

Rejoice, Atlus fans. Behold! Atlus is back from the dead.
Quote
Last year, there was concern about Atlus. Its parent company, Index Corporation, was in a pickle, and the Atlus brand ended up in Sega's hands. But Atlus is no longer simply a brand. Atlus is back!P
As a company, Atlus ceased to exist as a registered corporation in Japan a few years back. On paper, Atlus existed as "Index Corporation." Even though "Atlus" was only a brand in Japan, its game developers continued to proudly carry the Atlus banner, creating brilliant games.
However, starting April 1, Atlus will once again be a registered company in Japan. In an official release, Sega announced it was dividing its consolidated subsidiary into two entities: a solutions company named Index and a game company named Atlus. Both will be fully owned by Sega.
April 1 is when the financial year begins in Japan. This is not a joke.
This latest decision shows that Sega isn't only serious about Atlus as a brand, but also serious about Atlus as a company.

...I'm a huge mana fan since SD3, I still consider it the best RPG I've ever experienced with over 30+ replays on that alone.
After watching that trailer... fuck, this game looks FUN! The gameplay itself looks like an Action RPG I love... Looks better than Legend of Mana, Sword of Mana is more of what I'd prefer more, since they showed what looked like a "Hub" City like Children of Mana.. and I outright avoided Heroes of Mana when I heard it had gone RTS.
The Dawn of Mana art style in this latest mana is a bit too "childish" imo, but hey, it might work out. ...yet hearing it'll be on a mobile platform... why not a 3DS? I could see Nintendo WELCOMING this... ;_;

This is one Tiltin will like :-)
"JP Kellams, creative producer at PlatinumGames, held an educational live presentation a couple of days ago. During that presentation, Kellams also talked about Bayonetta 2 and its WiiU exclusivity and as you’d expect, the media (in this case Polygon) used a quote from Kellams to run a story. Seems though that Kellams was really annoyed by Polygon’s headline, describing it as BS and claiming that games journalists should go back to school.
According to Polygon’s headline, Bayonetta 2 is exclusive to WiiU due to changes in business situation. Kellams was obviously annoyed by Polygon’s headline that went berserk on Twitter. For what is worth, Polygon has changed the headline to “Why Nintendo was the right decision for Bayonetta 2“."
There is a bit more to that + a lot of funny tweets
Stainless Games has settled on a release date for Carmageddon: Reincarnation and after 17 years, what's another month? The vehicular combat game will arrive on Steam Early Access on March 27, 2014 with Kickstarter backers receiving access a full two weeks in advance.
Outside of the box art, I can't say I was a huge fan of the original Carmageddon way back when, however the obligatory quote from co-founder and CEO Patrick Buckland has won me over:
"This time we could finally do the stuff that we wanted to do 17 years ago," he said. "More blood was the main thing. Rivers of livers -- that's what we wanted. Being publisher as well as developer means we get to be stupid. Properly, professionally stupid. And this game is stupider than Jupiter. I mean really silly -- but in a good way." They know Carmageddon, clearly.

while the game went on to sell a large number of copies, it didn’t perform to Square Enix’s expectations—at the time. “By the end of this month we will surpass 6 million units for our Tomb Raider reboot, and, having achieved profitability back in 2013 Tomb Raider has exceeded profit expectations and continues to make significant contributions to our overall financial performance,” Gallagher says that Tomb Raider is on course to become the best-selling game in the history of the franchise
Uh... Step back a second. What the fuck ? They cried like little bitches about the poor sales back then, but now it's above their expectations - and the best-seller of the franchise ? What does that mean, did they expect to sell those 6 million copies in a few months and then it would just vanish out of existence and stop selling, how else would they whine about poor sales compared to their expectations, and then a few months later say the sales exceed the very same expectations ? How does that even work ?
Title: Re: gaming news that don't deserve their own thread

Title: Re: gaming news that don't deserve their own thread
Post by: DKDC on March 06, 2014, 08:48:00 pm
It still means that their expectations were a set number, and that number was not passed a few months ago, and now it's passed. If they were crying about it back then and are happy about it now, that means that they thought that number would be reached by then, and then stop. If they didn't expect it to just stop, if they knew it would simply continue and eventually hit the mark, they wouldn't have cried back then and they'd just have waited for sales to reach that number - which it just did. So they were expecting sales to hit their target back then, and then completely stop. There's no other possible explanation for their behavior back then and right now. If they knew it would eventually reach the mark just a few months later, then their complaints back then were completely ridiculous. (then again we already knew their complaints were ridiculous when it was still one of the top sellers of the season even back then)
What I'm saying is, the life cycle of a game doesn't end a month after its release. A game can still sell well after 3 years or something. I would've understood if it had struggled to be profitable and then kept selling poorly, but if it passes the target only a few months later, with that target being franchise best seller, "making significant contributions" to their current finances, their attitude is just poor taste.
Title: Re: gaming news that don't deserve their own thread
Post by: Bastard Mami on March 06, 2014, 10:49:23 pm
yeah, happens toa lot of media, not just games, usually they only take in consideration the very first few months, I guess digitat is changing that. think about physical discs, they print 1million discs and if they don't sell in the firt 3 months they take them back to put newer titles on display, but with digital theyy are not taken back so now the sales keep on being high even after the game is not new anymore.
I remember reading this ebing applyed to anime, as certain series sold over 4k but it was not in teh first month so they could not get second seasons.

So I dunno if this is worth a 4 month bump in its thread or not, but feel like I should bring it up somewhere. So Square Enix brought up this survey on their Kingdom Hearts Facebook page (https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/GP7XTLF). It should "help shape the future of Kingdom Hearts".
Which means time to pester them to add Star Wars and Marvel, most likely. Or maybe some more non-movie Disney shows more current than Mickey Mouse and such. Maybe some Gargoyles, Kim Possible, I'm sure they can get a good Gravity Falls reference in there somewhere.

Now, on the topic of Gunvolt, I know that game's made by Inti Creates but does every game they make in MMZ style past MMZ2 have to look like it should trump it?

Of course I will, it was mediocre and unpolished and it has more than a few issues. Don't like it, deal with it and stop overreacting because of one or two lines in my post.
To be honest here, man, you're pretty much the only one I've seen give the game a bad rep. Everybody seems to be enjoying it :S

Mario Kart 8 is also likely to move more Wii U out of the shelves, so releasing it after MK8 increases their potential buyer base as well.

Wii U games rarely drop their prices ... The pricedrops usually come from having an active second hand market of avid consumers moving the inventories of Game Stores.
This is not happening for the Wii U shelves :-X

nintendo's games in general rarely see price drops. this has been the case for a really long time and it's not a wii u thing. third party games on nintendo's consoles see pricedrops, ubisoft's zombiu recently had an eshop sale and physical copies are cheaper now (i bought it this week in fact).

ZombieU is avaiable for 7,50 € here since around October or November 2013.
The only other game i saw at that price tag was KOFXIII last summer..seems it bombed totally here in Europe.
The normal low budget price for games is 20 or 30€ here in Germany. PS3 Greatest hits cost 20 as example

Perhaps I hadn't noticed this was an overall Nintendo thing before because I wasn't paying attention at their shelves, until they started having multiplatform titles now with the Wii U's horsepower.
The only case I remember really surprising me, was when I wanted to get a Wii for a couple of titles (mostly for Tatsunoko VS Capcom and Brawl), and despite those games being old, they were still at a steep, if not completely 100% launch price.
I don't understand the logic behind this any further than what I've explained. Prices shift when there's movement in the market - People buy, and sell, and trade in to catch the next new wave of games. This helps to cycle the inventories. If there's no movement, they're not just going to sell all their slow moving inventory, busting the budgets assigned for the Nintendo products.

That would be great too. No Mercy is still considered the wrestling game standard though. Hopefully these guys also let Fire Pro influence their game too as far as customization, but they might just make that a DIY kind of deal since they put so much emphasis on the fact that they want this to be modded. The scaffold match they have in their concepts is neat too.

When licensing songs for release for any platform, including DLC, agreements include term limits on how long the content may be sold on a given platform. This isn’t specific to Rock Band – it’s something that exists in pretty much all licensing agreements.

Microtransctions made $352 Million in 2013. (http://www.superdataresearch.com/blog/console-microtransactions/)
Quote
There are currently about 23 million console gamers in the US who use microtransactions, totaling $352 million in annual sales. Slowly, but surely, console games are adopting what has been a popular method to spend money on games in other digital sectors, like MOBAs, social and mobile games. As we find ourselves at the beginning of a new console cycle, we expect publishers to be willing to take bigger risks and experiment with recently emerged publishing models.

Transformers: Rise of the Dark Spark now has G1 characters along with the Cybertron games and the Bayformers movies universes.

Capcom Announces Special Loss, Revision of Business Forecast, Non-consolidated Business Forecast and Reasons behind the Difference from Previous Year's Business Results
Around 50% less earnings as they wanted during april 2013-april 2014.

Sell your old IP's already to worthy developer teams.

The forecast for consolidated sales has been increased mainly because of strong sales of "Monster Hunter 4", the biggest title in Capcom's home video games business, and the highly successful pachislo title "Monster Hunter Gekka Raimei". On the other hand, the operating income and ordinary income forecasts have been lowered because of a decline in profitability. The primary reasons for this decline are below expectations of products in the highly profitable mobile contents and "Monster Hunter Frontier G" online game. The net income forecast has been lowered for these reasons as well as to incorporate the special loss explained in the previous section.
they expected way too much out of their mobile games. everyone thinks they have the next angry birds or candy crush, and capcom more than anyone else thought they had a shot considering their years of experience in game development and their rich library of characters.

Yes. We never made any secret of 4A's desire to bring Metro to the latest generation of console hardware.
But what you saw leaked was taken from an old, internal planning presentation, containing some nuggets of truth but a lot of hypothetical ideas and place holder material.
(Eagle eyed fans will recognize the artwork on the 'packshot' as the art from the original Russian edition of the Metro 2033 novel. And that 'logo' is just the old Metro 2033 logo with the '2033' scrubbed out and 'Redux' added... )
As you can see, we're not quite ready to reveal 4A Games' first next-gen console project, but we will be making an announcement this side of E3.
And we think the reality is a lot more exciting than the out-dated material that got leaked shows, and we're itching to share it with you. Just not yet.

One person/entity/whatever doing something bad doesn't make another person doing something bad OK. Like I dunno, several people were dismissing Russia's invasion of Crimea because America invaded Irap but that doesn't mean Russia is totes cool, both things were terrible.
plus that's kind of a horrible example anyway, a better one would be finding something American-made that trivializes a horrific war. Might be harder to find one that casts everyone as sexy teenage girls, though.

SNKP isn't the only ones doing pachislot and the likes; every JP company is doing something to make side money (slot, mobile, merchandise, etc...).
The trailer actually looked good; considering where my expectations were I'm quite impressed. The presentation is what I liked the most, and surfing the web more than a few people felt the same way. The render style they're using still looks bad though (guess that's to be expected being CG for Slot and all).

Quote
Only a month ago Gearbox CEO Randy Pitchford announced that his studio were not working on a borderlands sequel but they didn’t mention that 2k Australlia were working on a Pre-Sequel.
Set on the moon of Elpis and Hyperions ominous H shaped moon base, the game sees Handsome Jack in the days when he was just a humble programmer called John, hunting a powerful alien artefact (what else!!). Players will be able to select one of Jack/Johns four lieutenants to play as in Athena The Gladiator, Wilhelm The Enforcer, Nisha The Lawbringer and Fragtrap, a militarised claptrap..
The astute amongst you may recognise some of the names from their appearances in previous instalments, Wilhelm is the half human, half Hyperion Loader boss from Borderlands 2 and Athena made an appearance in the General Knoxx DLC for the first game as a Lance Assassin gone mercenary. Nisha bears a striking resemblance to the seconds games Sheriff of Lynchwood, who was also Jacks girlfriend.
Averse as I am to the 'yearly cash cow' sequel trend that's gumming up the industry as of late, I can't imagine it'd be very easy to screw up Borderlands. Then again, that's what I thought about the Arkham games and look where that got us.

Is this some sort of side game to be released just to cover the time gap until BL3 gets finished? (Like Batman AO did) or is really their next big project? A prequel sounds really weird considering how BIG borderlands was about to become (Intergalactical vault hunting for God damn it!). I can't see this being far better than BL2.

That's the thing. Normally that's what I would think it was but according to Randy Pitchford BL3 isn't even on the table at the moment. AFAIK Gearbox has no plans for BL3 any time in the near future. So I don't know what you'd call this.
But hey, even if it sucks there's still Tales from the Borderlands to look forward to.

If you never played FFX or FFX-2, this is a good oportunity to buy them. If you played them before, you will probably notice the changes they did (specially graphic changes) to the games.
One thing to mention in FFX-2, Catnip has been downgraded. Still does 9999 damage on hit when in yellow health, but now it puts you in permanent Slow and Berserk, so it's been rendered useless. Good luck designing a new strategy to beat Trema, as you cannot use the Gunner + Catnip trick to easily beat him and other enemies. There's also a really good Creature Capture and Tournament addition that allows some really tough fights if you like challenges. And the prizes are amazing the harder it is. There's also two new Dresspheres, though only one of them is worth getting.

'I love PS.' You're not supposed to promote a commercial product in MiiVerse, so they correctly interpreted 'PS' as 'PlayStation.'
He should've written PS I love you,would've been far less obvious.
Still obvious, but much less, what with that movie of the same title and all.

As much as I want this, I don't want to picture Kyo Kusanagi on steroids then again they could implement another art style but Im sure they wont go back to 2D again, if this was ever made ofcourse.

Yeah, they gave monies to SNK and bought the right to their (some ?) characters in the process, adding them to their game, if they do the same for Capcom they can do their own crossover game.

I think it was decent game, and at least SNK created new sprites for all the Capcom chars, and SNK chars that weren't in the KoF Style before. I remember how bad Morrigan looked in Capcom vs SNK 2 because of the reusing of the old Darkstalker sprites. :-\

Post by: Bastard Mami on April 15, 2014, 04:35:16 pm
that reminds me of two things, how angry I got because we did not get morrigan in that game and that I had this stupid expectation of them using a non-kof sprite style for that game (something like the latest fatal fury games was what I was expecting).

Didn't Capcom created sprites for all the SNK characters? Ryu, Ken, Dan, Gouki, and Bison were not reused sprites in the first game. Eagle, Maki, Kyosuke, Chun Li and Yun were all new sprites in the second one.
So, sprite wise it was the same kind of work, Geese sprite set looks dated when compared to Kim or some Capcom Characters, not as bad as Morrigan tho but you got my point.

I was addressing this part of the post, it sounds like a comparison.
Don't get me wrong, I know that CvS & CvS2 are the far better games, but I was realy disappointed that Capcom created completly new Sprites for all SNK chars, but used Alpha/Zero sprites for some of the Street Fighter chars, and even used Morrigans old Darkstalker/Vampire sprites who looked realy realy bad together with the ohter chars. :(
That is something that is realy ok for a Mugen game, but not for a official one.

SNK created completely new sprites for the Capcom characters, but reused KoF sprites for existing SNK characters, it's the exact same thing. Morrigan is the only exception. Capcom also created new sprites for older characters like Eagle or Maki, just like SNK recreated sprites for Genjuro, Shiki or Earthquake. In fact, SNK didn't even create new sprites for key SNK characters (save for specific new moves) that already had a spriteset of the same style, while Capcom did that with the Shotos or Dictator, making the whole game look quite different from MvC / SFZ (other characters taken from SFZ like Honda, Sagat, Cammy etc. were rescaled and it was enough to look similar). And I'm not event talking about the special effects. Hadoukens and everything were redone in CvS to a completely different style, while SvC kept the same KoF-styled flame graphics and everything.

(other characters taken from SFZ like Honda, Sagat, Cammy etc. were rescaled and it was enough to look similar).
And I see that different, I don't think that rescaled sprites are enough to fit with the complete new spritestyle they added to the game.
DKDC the only thing that I don't like with the Capcom games is, that I belief that some Chars should have got new Sprites too, at least Morrigan to fit with the Style, thats the only thing thats realy bothers me, the rest of it is great.
Title: Re: gaming news that don't deserve their own thread
Post by: Niitris on April 16, 2014, 04:27:38 pm
Actually, SNK did mix styles. KoF and SamSho's sprite styles are much different (it's not just shading). KoF proportion style was meant to be realistic, while SamSho was made to look more "toon-ish." Reshading Genjuro =/= "KoF-style" sprite. Proportionally speaking, he should be as big as the Shotos and Mr.Karate (Takuma headswap).
Also, the Morrigan sprite thing's (while understandable) a bit overdone imo. She didn't look bad in MvC. She looked awful in CvS because they shrunk her sprite and it looked awful. I do agree that resizing the SFZ sprites weren't enough since they didn't do anything with the height (which made Chun-Li as tall as Guile for no explicable reason), but that's beside the point.

I hope so; this trend is catching on quite a bit. I love games with that have a retro style to them.
I like that we might see a revival, but I liked the 2008 game a lot and really wanted to see a sequel to that story and setting (both the Zoroastrianism backstory as well as the locations). The French article supposes that they want to keep the series without keeping the risk of bloating up the genre with Assassin's Creed and Watch Dogs, it makes sense that they wouldn't pour the money to make so many games of this quality if there's a risk people will have to chose between one and the other. That being said, if they're never going to continue the 2008 game and go back to the old school puzzles like they did with Forgotten Sands, it might as well go full "return to the source" and be 2D, I guess...

We already got a PoP remake a few years ago, in 2D and all. This looks like a weird move but I loved Rayman Legends so them using the same engine at least gives me one less thing to worry about.
Also they better not do that shit with the whole DLC ending again. It's the reason I never bought the 2008 game for PC (You know, because the DLC is like... NOT AVAILABLE AT ALL, fuck them).
Title: Re: gaming news that don't deserve their own thread
Post by: DKDC on April 18, 2014, 05:08:42 pm
IINM the remake of the original PoP on PSN was 3D with 2D gameplay. The PoP : Shadow and the Flame that came after that on tablets was the same, it seems. This one is actual 2D graphics, so they say.
I always guessed the 2008 ending was released as DLC when they realized they wouldn't go for a sequel but they'd already done it... So it was better than nothing IMO (edit - BTW it didn't really end anything, it was extra playtime but not an ending). Could've gotten a "GotY" type of re-release with the ending packaged, but I don't think people did that a lot at the time, it was early in the life of the PS3 and all the DLC frenzy everywhere.

OK... it'll only work if the developers go back to what worked and what worked was in RE4 and RE5. I don't usually play any of the RE games, but I would hope that Capcom gets this right only for the fact that they're on shaky ground financially at this point.

I personally would also leave RE5 out of this. RE4 would be a good one to base the game on, and that's it. But we all know this is probably not going to happen. They already changed the style way too much to change it back to how it was before.

Really? Didn't think the marketing was that bad, but if you're not joking it's a sorta return to form and mash of various mechanics and atmosphere from the fan favorite Resident Evil games. A spooky, creepy ship with tight corners, haunting music, the favored camera from 4, tank controls and some new things to keep it fresh as well. Like moving while shooting for once, that hadn't been done since Resident Evil Dead Aim. the upgrade system for weapons was new even compared to 4 & 5 and 6 borrowed a lot from it.
Decent game and I would highly recommend to pick it up. It's on nearly every system out there besides the Vita.
Title: Re: gaming news that don't deserve their own thread

It's probably because it first came out on 3DS so no one played it (at least no avid RE fans who were focusing on other consoles), and when it finally came out on PS3 and whatever else, people forgot about it even though many agreed it was the better RE game in a while.
Beginning May 31, 2014, select legacy titles from the Borderlands® and Civilization® catalogs will temporarily go offline while service is transitioned to Steamworks. During the transition, players will experience interruption of several features, including online play, matchmaking and voiceover Internet protocol (VOIP) where applicable.

It's just a spinoff by Takumi. The sixth game is still done by the actual AA team.

I don't know why they'd take all the way til now to even consider the idea of having Alice with the games, perhaps it's some sort of sendoff if they're finally done making the movies?

How would you even bring Wesker back? Is there a video game character that has had a more final death than Wesker?
Well Bowser, I guess, but he has a personal magician.
It's been a minute, but during Lost in Nightmares you find out there was another Wesker child alive. So this may not be "Albert", but Alex I think who was revealed in the trading card game a year or so back.

Zelda games seldom follow a continuity. Most of the time it's that particular game's universe's Ganon.
Wrong, there's an official timeline that includes all the games. Parallel timelines stuff. But he's not always killed, he's locked more often, and when he's killed, yeah, someone resurrects him.
Title: Re: gaming news that don't deserve their own thread
Post by: Bizarro Santamorphman on April 30, 2014, 07:55:06 pm
In practice, though, the timeline is essentially irrelevant to the games. Occasionally you'll get a Wind Waker or a Majora's Mask that follows directly from an older game, but even then it's more broad strokes. But I mean yeah like Wesker wasn't clearly meant to be dead in RE1 but being stabbed by a Tyrant (or hacked up by Chimeras) is easier to come back from the ridiculous overkill they gave him in RE5 (not that I didn't love that, it was glorious). If they do bring him back it'll probably be some dumb clone bullshit.
Hideki Naganuma (Jet Set Radio series, Sonic Rush) is composing a new game! (http://www.siliconera.com/2014/04/29/jet-set-radio-composer-will-create-music-hover-revolt-gamers/) And it's some kind of independent spiritual sequel of Jet Set Radio! Yay!

The current status of Ganon and the Triforce is kept between the games through that timeline, though. If Ganon dies in a game, the next one either doesn't have him or tries to revive him, and when he's locked, the next game is about freeing him. So the point still stands. First timeline has him locked in the Dark Realm, freed, killed, then a resurrection attempt, then a resurrection, he's killed again, and finally another resurrection is prevented. Second timeline has him locked in the Twilight Realm, freed, killed, then whatever happened in Four Swords Adventures (Hyrule Historia book talks about a reincarnation, dunno how that goes ingame). Last timeline has him sealed, freed, and killed and that's it. Always in a proper order. So yeah, there's a few deaths and resurrections and a couple more thwarted resurrection attempts.
Wesker's death in RE1 was supposed to be a clear death at the time, but then the next games just said he got better because uberzombie virus. I'm not sure if they want to try and get around the "being thrown in a volcano" death. Maybe they'll take a page from Kazuya Mishima's book. Honestly if they go clone route, I wouldn't be surprised, I mean, it'll be piss easy to have someone say "he was just too valuable a specimen with his DNA, so we cloned him" and it'd be perfectly understandable that someone in that universe would do that. Regardless of how shitty a "clone resurrection" generally seems in fiction, in universe, you bet someone would do it.

Post by: Bizarro Santamorphman on April 30, 2014, 08:10:08 pm
I mostly mean that the timeline has always seemed as more of a general direction kind of thing and not something that every Zelda game is obsessed with adhering to. Like in say, Twilight Princess, Ganon was prevented from entering the Sacred Realm (because it's the child timeline), but still somehow has the Triforce of Power. Maybe he eventually gained access to the Sacred Realm and a repeat of the Triforce splitting up happened again like in OoT in some unseen adventure, or the Goddesses randomly gave it to him (or maybe even he doesn't actually have the Triforce and it's just a birthmark or something which is one of the crazier theories I've seen about that), but it's not super important.

That and you can't have helicopters and automated drones in WWII.
I'm willing to give Sledgehammer the benefit of the doubt here and just wait until I hear/read what people think about it when it's released, but it seems to me they're trying too hard. Then again, this rather drastic change could work out in their favor.

Marvel wants to centralize it's universe or something like that. (http://www.fool.com/investing/general/2014/05/02/can-marvel-unify-its-video-games-with-the-marvel-g.aspx)
Quote
In a clear effort to bring its characters home, Marvel recently asked Capcom, Activision Blizzard, and several other companies to discontinue digital distribution of several Marvel titles. Some of the delisted games include Spider-Man: Web of Shadows, X-Men: The Official Game, X-Men Origins: Wolverine, and Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3. Licensing agreements with both companies will expire soon, according to EGM.
Marvel will likely bring these franchises home to Disney Interactive Studios, which recently announced the crossover title Disney Infinity: Marvel Super Heroes, which will mix together its Disney, Pixar, and Marvel characters together in a telepod-powered sandbox.
The same thing DC is doing.

Everyone seems to think that winding down distribution for old games is Marvel's way of torching the farm and salting the earth so nothing ever grows there again. To move forward with this Marvel Gaming Universe plan, they would have to ask for a way out of these old agreements, then establish new ones more to their terms. Old products that don't fit with this vision would only muddy the waters and divert attention away.
As far as I'm concerned, this MGU business doesn't mean Capcom are forbidden from pitching to Marvel for a MVC4; this means that if MVC4 goes ahead, it'll involve Marvel staff more thoroughly. It could be sending Bendis or Feige or Slott to hash out narrative content with Capcom for a week or two, it could be Capcom hiring from a Marvel-approved field of voice talent, it'd at worst dictate what characters are used or what depictions of certain characters are used. What it won't mean is Disney Interactive making everything to do with Marvel from now on; they have more profitable things they could be doing with their time than wasting it making fighting games.

And what that means is that it'll cost even more for Capcom to get a contract going, with more of those things they call "legal hurdles" (getting approval and getting the assets required for that approval). So probably it'll just get harder and harder to do anything.

Red, thats exactly the problem with the digital era. In ten years you can still replay your old psx games. But in ten years you wont even be able to play the dlc content made for arkham asylum unless you stored it in advance. Your digital only products like the Ducktales game wont be around to redownload in a legal way, you might get umvc3 but you wont ever unlock the dlc characters in a legal way. Your games are not your own completely, the bits that get locked away will only be able to be unlocked illegaly.
No company has got to assure that you still got servers up in 10 years to revisit your old games. And thats fucked up.

MvC3 didn't really sell well either, I think? I'm not really very positive on the chances of another Marvel fighting game from Capcom anytime soon. :(

Avengers didn't come out until over 7 months after Ultimate came out. And that's Ultimate. New games are always in play, older ones very rarely get sudden bursts of interest in them. If it had been released when Avengers came out and underperformed I think there would be something there, but as it is, I don't think it factors much into anything.

According to Eventhubs: UMvC3 sold 1.1 million copies overall as of Sept 2013
And unfortunately, I can't find anything on MvC3's sales in comparison...
If anything, I would say it sold around the same ballpark as UMvC3, maybe even double because the only other place was VGChartz and that place gets a bad rep for screwing sales for games at times.

[avatar]http://i42.photobucket.com/albums/e315/Tiger_Stripe/discordgoody2_zps5f20c8a8.png[/avatar]First screenshots of the Telltale Borderlands game:
Why make a Borderlands game that’s not a first person shooter? Because, if you pause to take a breath between shooting everything in sight and stealing your buddies’ loot in multiplayer, you’ll know that Borderlands features some amazing characters and stories in a world that’s rich in dark humor. Handsome Jack, Claptrap, Tiny Tina, Angel, Moxxi, Zer0… it’s a big list. We (Telltale) are all about compelling characters and stories, and we see an amazing opportunity to build on what Gearbox has created.
Gearbox’s world is huge. The main Borderlands games and the DLC have only scratched the surface; they’ve built a world that rivals Star Wars in its richness. That sounds like crazy hyperbole, but the details, the characters, and the history are all there. You just haven’t seen it all yet.
Pandora has a wealth of stories to offer, and Gearbox wants them told. Telltale is going to collaborate with you through the choices that you make to get some of those stories out there, and to create a brand new Borderlands experience. If you play Borderlands simply for the sake of shooting stuff, then you might not be a fan of Tales, but if you enjoy being on Pandora, hanging out with and finding out more about all of the amazing characters, and/or you’ve enjoyed what we did in The Walking Dead and The Wolf Among Us, then this might be a game series for you.
What else can I say about this game series? - The loot you grab in Tales will be available to use in other areas of the Borderlands franchise -It’s an episodic series that’ll be $4.99 per episode (or you can save with the Season Pass) -Your choices matter and will help create YOUR version of the story across the season -The series takes place after the events of Borderlands 2. Handsome Jack is gone. Or is he? You might have seen the trailer we put out a while back -You’re going to play two different viewpoints. Rhys works for Hyperion; he’s a company man with grand ambitions that have been thrown off the rails. Fiona is a fast-talking con artist, with very few people left on Pandora she hasn’t swindled one way or another -They both have a very different opinion of the events that brought them together, and the only way to find out something near to the truth is to live their lives and make your own decisions

Eh, I'm guessing this'll involve Zer0 more than the other Vault Hunters, and I personally don't care much for Zer0. Heck, even Handsome Jack takes a moment to point out what a cliche he is.
That said......HYPE. Wonder if Shade's any less crazy since pointing out that the town of Oasis was built on top of....well, an oasis. Nah, probably even more so now.
Spoiler, click to toggle visibilty
And Jack being back isn't really much of a surprise. It's like the Andrew Ryan Vita-Chambers all over again, he dies dramatically on screen, but he's just going to respawn elsewhere. Heck, both being from 2K, they might just directly reference that. Though if they're not going that route, they can go with cloning again. Borderlands 2's third DLC showed that's not impossible, though I think this one will be less....scorpion-y and bullymong-y.
Also, please tell me Mister Torgue High-Five Flexington will be in here.

I was tempted to make a one time avatar switch to Professor Farnsworth in lieu of some good news (even though it's usually never good).
SNK Playmore released an F2P game called Metal Slug Defense about two weeks ago (available for both iOS and Android). It's yet another mobile phone game (or at least it would be if it wasn't for the fact that SNKP has publicly stated that the game has accumulated 2 Million Downloads). (http://game.snkplaymore.co.jp/press/pdf/140513_01.pdf)
It only took 12 days to get there. Free or not, 2 Million is great by SNK's standards; also from what I heard it's actually pretty good and not overwhelmingly marred with microtransctions. Gives off the impression that there is demand for a new title.

Not necessarily means people want a new MS game. This game banks on everything similar games have done in the past (like Battlecats for example), and while they're fun and give you something nifty to do for free in your phone, they're counting on people to get hooked on micro transactions to beat the later levels.
I've been unable to make it work on my phone :sadgoi:

"Resolution is a number, just like framerate is a number," Watch Dogs creative director Jonathon Morin said on the Ubisoft blog. "All those numbers are valid aspects of making games. But you make choices about the experience you want to deliver. In our case, dynamism is everything. Exploration and expression are everything."

WTF?! Are they still using the same fucking ugly designs they used for the DS in the 3DS, which had terrible blurry resolution and with an annoying interface for the duels? They didn't even bother improving them?
Yeah, no way I'm buying this game. If the art hasn't even improved even after switching to 3DS, which should have been a must because it really looked terrible in the previous games, that means that most likely the majority of flaws the previous games already had will probably stay the same. Duelist Network and YGOPro are free and most likely work better for online play than this 3DS game. I really lost hope in the DS/3DS series to improve...

Why would you expect that? The 3DS still uses the same LCD screens as the DS and is only a few pixels wider on the top screen.
The game doesn't actually have online play. It's incredibly stupid and you're forced to use prebuilt decks in it's story mode.
If you have a 360 or PS3 I highly suggest getting Millenium Duels. It's only $10, is based on the Tag Force games so it even has Tag mode, has online and let's you compete against almost every prominent character across all 4 arcs of the series in it's single-player mode.

Dumb Youtube of a scan without source and with stupid comments.
It looks like they're introducing the Dragon Ball Heroes storyline, with the Capsule Corp guy and the time capsules in that image that looks a bit like the time chamber. (edit - unless it's the Dragon Ball Online story they're taking the idea of, I forgot which is which, the one with the time cops, must be Online)
http://www.jefusion.com/2014/05/new-dragon-ball-game-for-playstation-4.html says it's also coming on PS3 and 360. And yep, it's actually visible on the scan (with difficulty, but it's visible as long as you're looking at the actual scan and not a dumb video of it)

Hm ? How so ? Visually it looks nothing like Battle of Z (for what little we see in this shitty scan), it looks amazing (it's like a few steps above cel shading - check that Kamehameha and that shot of Goku punching Freeza), and there isn't a single info about the gameplay.

Maybe they just need to give DBZ games a break to come up with fresh ideas and stop making us feel saturated by the sheer amount of fighting games and maybe while they're at it, stop doing that obvious thing where they purposely release a game that only goes up to the Frieza saga to have an excuse to release the same game next year by just adding one extra saga to it.
I mean, fuck it, am I the only one who wants a DB or DBZ beat em up game as good as Dragon Ball Origins 2 again? That's probably one of the best DB/DBZ games in the last 10 years. EVERYTHING was amazing, including the original soundtrack for it.

The graphics still have that glossy look of Battle of Z where everything almost looks like its made of rubber, and it's being developed by Namco Bandai who have a track record of 'same engine + new characters'. That shot with the capsule corp guy as the third participant probably means that the game has 'team battles'. It's probably Battle of Z 2.

One huge caveat/punishment Ubisoft implemented is when you do turn off the Online Option, all your skills accumulated are reset to zero. You read that right. They all get reset to zero. All the online-specific skills reset to zero as punishment for not wanting to play online, something which is entirely disappointing. Either you keep getting invaded, or you get punished for wanting to play sometimes and not other times with the online mode

This game is going to bomb hard the more this leaks out. Expect huge backpedaling and day one patches if this doesn't get turned into a mircotranscation thing which some have said is alluded to in the games files.

Looks like even with Online Invasions turned on, you still have to manually approve anyone entering your game. To be completely fair, that actually reassures me a bit; if they forced you into having online douchebags come into your game and screw with you, that's not on.

Zenimax went and sued Oculus VR (the group Facebook purchased for $2,000,000,000). (http://www.theverge.com/2014/5/21/5739086/oculus-vr-and-its-founder-sued-by-zenimax-and-id-software)
Quote
Oculus VR and its founder Palmer Luckey has been sued by ZeniMax Media and id Software over claims the company illegally misappropriated trade secrets. The lawsuit, which was filed in a Texas court today, also accuses Palmer and company of breaching contract and unfair competition, all things that ZeniMax says add up to an "enormous value."
A LEGAL BATTLE OVER VR TECHNOLOGY
Facebook announced plans to purchase Oculus VR, the company that makes the Oculus Rift virtual reality headset, for $2 billion in March. Weeks later, letters from ZeniMax were sent to Oculus and Facebook, claiming video game programmer John Carmack (who worked for Oculus) used technology ZeniMax had developed in-house. Included in that was a non-disclosure and non-ownership agreement signed by Carmack two years ago that covered VR technology, a detail that's included in the complaint, but that Carmack has denied using any part of publicly.
The lawsuit also claims Oculus hired away multiple former ZeniMax employees who knew confidential and proprietary information about the inner workings of the company and its technologies, something that gave it a "free-ride" on its way to success.

Trailer for the PlayStation4 version of Warriors Orochi 3 Ultimate:
Video's max res is 720p, but an official screenshot is in 1080p (this is important btw). Tecmo Koei is releasing a lot of intriguing stuff, really should consider looking into more of their library. Also, Hayabusa and Sophitia are in this particular game, so there's that.

Hayabusa was ALWAYS in WO3 along with Ayane since the start. The WiiU version added Rachel and Momiji and it's KASUMI whose the newest addition in WO3 Ultimate.

And here's the downside: WO3U still uses the movesets from DW7, which means clones, clones, clones. Once you've played 8, 7 is just so painful.

I'm not expecting the game to be mechanically great though (I expected the reuse of moves and whatnot, I'm in this for the visuals). Tecmo Koei's stable of games look visually impressive overall and it definitely looked like they had to make compromises on the now underpowered last-gen systems.
As long as there's next-gen resolution, better lighting, textures. and effects (and it doesn't play like a complete nightmare of course), I'm in. 60fps would also be nice. I'll probably pick up SW4 as well.

Okay, now THAT'S a something to look out for. I'm hoping to god it also comes out to PC because I'm not sure if I'm gonna get a job in time to get a PS4 and this game. And yeah, the clone thing is gonna be painful as hell considering the little time I'm playing DW8XLCE on the PC(mainly suffering slowdown issues, but that may be my processor), It's gonna be a pain, but so damn worth it.

Region-free gaming solves a lot of that problem (although I'm pretty decent at Japanese so I'm only speaking for myself). Also, yay Kasumi.
SW4 is absolutely boss and it's the first SW game I'm looking forward to. And looking at it in the PS3 version, it definitely plays like a dream and has some pretty good mechanics despite the extremely cloned moveset of most of the fighters.
And yeah, I don't have a job still and I'd rather it be on PC to make it easier on myself(even if I'm gonna be suffering slowdown because of it)

Title: Re: gaming news that don't deserve their own thread
Post by: DKDC on May 22, 2014, 06:56:07 pm
Koei Wiki says one story for each of 10 factions, with an additional common story branching out. There are 55 characters anyway, I don't expect one story for each of them. I don't remember many clone characters in Warriors Orochi 3, but then again, there are 140 characters in Ultimate, so I don't think expecting no clone at all is fair. I'm particularly happy that the savedata from Warriors Orochi 3 on PS3 carries over (even for the PS4 version). It was a huge pain to build up so many characters.
Title: Re: gaming news that don't deserve their own thread
Post by: Bad News GBK on May 22, 2014, 07:02:19 pm
*whistles* 55....
I was just playing SW 1 and 2 a few weeks ago and played through half of the stories in sw 2 and thought its a lot already..but 55 characters is really a damn lot if they are still as different from each other than in sw2
Honestly i don't remember anyone being a clone from another character in Warriors Orochi 3..they all have own movesets (feather me if i am incorrect)

I don't remember many clone characters in Warriors Orochi 3, but then again, there are 140 characters in Ultimate, so I don't think expecting no clone at all is fair.
WO3 uses the DW7XL movesets, so Sima Yi, Zhuge Liang and Zhuge Dan shared the war-fan; Sima Zhao, Sun Jian, Sun Quan, Gan Ning and Cao Cao all shared the same sword; Zhang Jiao and Pang Tong shared the shaman rod; Da and Xiao Qiao shared the fan; Xiahou Yuan and Huang Zhong share the bow; Sima Shi, Liu Shan and Yuan Shao share the rapier; Cao Pi, Liu Bei and Lu Xun share the twin swords, Ling Tong and Guan Suo shared the nunchucks, Guan Ping and Xiahou Ba shared the greatsword, Ding Feng and Meng Huo shared the gauntlets, Wang Yuanji and Zhurong shared the throwing daggers, Lu Meng and Xu Huang shared the pike; and I think Zhang Liao still shared the twin axes with Pang De at that point too. They were all split into their own movesets in DW7 Empires or later.
It's not so much that these characters use copied movesets as much as it is that, after playing DW8 so much, it's going to be a bummer not using the DW8 weapons. Cao Ren's DW7 Flail is comlpete garbage compared to Gan Ning's version, and while Yueying was lucky to have her DLC war pick put into the main game, there are plenty of movesets that didn't like Cao Ren's buckler blade, Zhurong's boomerang or Ding Feng's ringblade, which were DLC at the time but are standard now. Yes, all of the characters I listed above had their cloned movesets slightly improved for WO3, but since then each of them has had a better moveset made to replace them (except for Sun Quan who kept his old sword, but he'll probably get the 420blazeit put on him later).

This. The issue isn't that if you played DW8 first then WO3, you can't adapt, it's mainly the fact that the cloned movesets sadly gimp others BECAUSE they usually have inferior movesets and since others can use those same weapons, you may not even bother to play with them.
And yes, thank god Yue Ying got her Dagger Axe(Which might as well be a smaller scythe at her max level) back(even as DLC even in DW8...which I sadly don't have yet since I have the PC version).

Well... I'm talking out of my ass on this (since I'm not really a fan of GTA and haven't played any of them for a significant amount of time), but even GTAIV, the most self-serious and overwrought entry in the franchise, has insanely goofy shit in the margins; like, there's a 12 minute comedic fake infomercial about knives (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4TCHdNidsLM) (which is hilarious, seriously guys, go watch it). There sure seems like they're very aware of how ridiculous everything is, and take pains to insert a bunch of crazy shit that is not only entirely optional but is entirely incidental to gameplay.

Skyrim has a shit ton of bugs and is notable not for any particular highlight of its gameplay, but for the way it mashes a bunch of gameplay styles and genres together to form a cohesive whole. It's a jack of all trades, master of none type deal.
Super Mario Galaxy, meanwhile, is one of the finest platforming games in history. I don't really see what the big deal is.

Except those silly moments detract from the seriousness that they decide to add into the characters, social commentary and story overall and honestly doesn't gel at all. You do realize that there's a

forced Torture mini-game in the game itself that's only there for the sake of unintentional shock value(as in, it's supposed to be in there to show us how bad we can get with our safety of freedoms, but most people hate that already, why make us do it to begin with?)
My main problem is that despite the flack I can sometimes levy at Saint's Row for going off the deep end...it's literally more GTA than GTA was after San Andreas(and technically, even before that considering CJ's actions make no sense for his mindset). It's basically they make you do everything, but the characters themselves(except Trevor...but let's not get into that overhyped piece of shit that's everything wrong with pandering) already HAVE defined morals and ethics that make them come off as completely hypocritical and tosses a wrench into the story in general.

Well, like I said, I haven't really played them. I was just giving my impression of things, and also I mostly just wanted an excuse to post that video. :P
I know, I'm just telling you the main issues that plague GTA and why I believe that having them on that list is the equivalent of saying GoW stories past 1 is still somehow better despite being nothing more than "I'm angry at everything, let me kill because I'm MAD. And maybe have sex with some women while I'm at it, BUT I STILL CARE ABOUT MY DEAD WIFE AND DAUGHTER THOUGH".

If anything, I believe Grand Theft Auto is trying way too hard to be...something it isn't. It's nothing more than basically going nuts with some homicidal killers: The Game, but lately, they've tried to make it seem like some huge ass masterpiece and acting as if the characters and stories are some of the best we've seen...and oh wait, I just killed like 28 people, got into a massive high speed chase and caused a shootout that killed 150 cops and is spending the rest of the time hounding someone on a scooter...
Deep.
Trying to be what exactly? GTA hasn't been trying to be that serious in their recent games. Obviously, it doesn't go as silly as Saint's row but GTA doesn't take itself as seriously as you think it does.

Well, that's I see it, it's not 100% right but I do see that most of the time, it acts way too damn seriously in respects in the fact that you have Rockstar and the journalists going on and on about how deep the story and characters are when you can pretty much turn them into savage hypocrites without barely doing anything.

GTA4 was inconsistent as fuck about that, but that game was pretty bad overall so that hardly matters.

Seeing GTA4 as high up as it is disgusts me (not more so than certain other games though). GTA5 on the other hand was damn good and is well deserving of its place.
(why the hell would Mortal Kombat or Tekken be in that list)
Tbh, I'm quite surprised MK9 isn't on there at all considering how much the masses fell over for that game.

Are we saying GTA4 is bad because of it's story or gameplay? I felt it was much better in almost everything if thats the case. The wanted system hands down was better and thats a huge part of the GTA games.

Post by: Niitris on May 24, 2014, 06:27:37 pm
I can't say much on the story since I don't play GTA (or pretty much anything) for that. A good number of people seem to believe that IV's protag. was an attempt of GTA being 'serious' and not really succeeding on that. From what I heard, V broke away from that theme.
IV's gameplay was an upgrade in some areas (better combat system, more control when armed, audio options) and a downgrade in others (no gang wars, no gambling, can't own businesses, no garages, driving was a chore, no flying). I mean, it had a lot to live up to following III and the subsequent spin-offs (notably San Andreas). Saying IV isn't good is a stretch, but making a sequel to the III series that didn't disappoint (which it certainly did for me) was quite the monumental challenge (being the first entry into a generational transition and all). Still thought they could've done a little more.
They didn't lose the capability to make something great. Rockstar could've just updated IV on an annual basis for the rest of the generational lifespan (like other series that can be easily be name-dropped), but I think they saw that they could expand on. They took IV back to the lab, refined it for a couple years, and came out with V. Regardless of how good IV may or may not have been, V not being an improved game would've been unforgivable.
Finally to get back to IV's placement in this list, I haven't played many of those games so I might be giving those too much credit (especially considering today's day and age).

Played the game 2 days before release, but heck I thought it was going to be more to be honest. Maybe I expected a little bit more from the hacking probabilities. It felt like an AC4 game but improved, the parkour seems more fluid, stealth way better than AC4, I like the game so far on my crappy laptop that can't even run it without lag even with 8gb of ram, maybe I should Overclock, but later.
WD is good but I feel like it could have been more :/, and the trailing, oh hell to the f'ing yes it had to be there, took me 5 minutes to trail a god damn car across the whole map on the 2nd mission of game.......

The "new" Battlefield game is Cops. Despite their current one still an absolute mess of network and gamebreaking bugs that wipe your save files.
The last one was 4, right? Because I just borrowed that from a friend who's done with the series, curious if I should be making saved game copies now or not.
Oh, and Lego Batman 3, yay.
My turn for news that not many are probably interested in, that Transformers game crossing over Bay's movies and the Cybertron games got a gameplay trailer.
Well, "gameplay", as in slo-mo close-ups of them shooting and Shockwave flying. I didn't play the third movie's game, but that was also done by High Moon, so I don't know if Bay's bots using Cybertron's weapons is off or not, but it feels off.

Jeez, I see what you mean with bugs now. Only up to where the game teaches you how to throw grenades, and my teammates are all standing in mid-air a floor above me, they just ran off the roof and didn't fall. And the enemies are running through the walls.

Tbh, I don't have an issue with the 30fps in this case. I remember saying that some devs prefer for their games to look like movies and the only reason they don't go with 24fps is because it compromises gameplay even moreso than 30fps. Considering the genre, 60fps isn't a requirement.
I do have an issue with the 1920x800 thing. Even though that was done for the same reason (cinematic experience), a combo of 800p/30fps doesn't pass for a next-gen video game (because remember, they are making a video game). :P

It's the reaction Ubisoft gets for hyping up the game so much, even to the point of delaying the game for 6 more months, to end up with a subpar 60 dollars product with missing details that were pretty much considered as granted in a 2014 AAA game like reflections and car damage. Sleeping Dogs is a much better product yet by now it probably sold 1/10th of what this thing will in a single month.

Ehhhh I'm not convinced. Yes, there's more detail, and yes it's brighter, but the PS4 version looks paler and less vibrant. PS4's only better because they've incorporated DW8XL's character lighting (that's what's bringing out the glow in Koshosho's face there); for DW8XL it's interestingly enough the PS3 version that does that and not PS4.

So Konami released a new way to play YGO online!
https://www.duelarena.konami.com/
Let's see what the features are for what I tried so far (still Beta but I doubt they will change these things):
Quote
- Nintendo DS design for the duels. The crappiest they've ever done so far, and they haven't changed anything at all from there. - A duel limit system aka stamina! You can only duel a few times then you're forced to either wait or pay to skip it! - Screen ratio of 4:3, no chance for 16:9. Thanks for the crappy ratio Konami. - You have to buy cards to have better decks! You don't have them all available at the beginning, like in Dueling Network! - A time limit of 1 HOUR in case the duel gets stuck for some reason (most likely one of the players going AFK). Of course there's penalties if you yourself try to disconnect from that duel, so you're forced to lose. DevPro has a shorter time limit that works well, and in Dueling Network you can report to mods if there's an AFK player that tends to work decently. - AI players to fight! Because that's exactly what you want to fight in an online dueling game!
Konami, Konami, Konami. You're not even trying to make it like there's some benefits to this new YGO online game compared to the other free versions. I suppose it's a random shot with expectations that it will hit some random people. And it will most certainly work unfortunately. Oh well, it's Konami so I'm not surprised at them doing stupid things for YGO.
tl;dr Don't even bother playing this YGO online game. Stick to DevPro and Dueling Network.

The first "gameplay" trailer to a game called Bullet Girls (a 3rd person shooter for the PlayStation Vita) caused quite the stir in Internetland. Somehow this video wasn't tagged with a age-restriction label. (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aQVpuIVeRJk) (NSFW)

Interrogation involves chocolate covered bananas, 5 seconds into the video.
Even I was a bit taken back (which I'm sure says a lot) before eventually laughing it off.
I must be completely desensitized because I pretty much seen it as another Niche Japanese game... Isn't like we are one to talk considering how hard America glorifies violence, Japan glorifies fanservice.

Idk. Maybe I'm wrong, but I'd like to think there's a difference between expressing female sensuality (alluringly large boobs, revealing outfits, touching of females) which can be appropriate in the right setting, and not very subtle depictions of oral sex (which is just straight-up indecent even in it's best circumstance). Doesn't help that trailer used the latter for shock value.
Seeing Neogaf's reaction was priceless, they were so easily creeped out lol. Although to be fair, even some supporters of these kind of games were a bit disturbed by it.

What standards? Titlin basically showed you how ridiculous that statement is.
Even in the most generic shooter of all time(Call of Duty), you are killing people and acting as if it's a war movie with nothing more but a "nice job" and rewards for it. How is that really any different than this game only because it rewards you with fanservice rather than watching your opponents be killed and be rewarded by making it easier to kill them?

Spoiler: article because, kotaku(click to see content)
Quote
Shortly after Ubisoft upset many Assassin's Creed fans by saying that it had abandoned its plan to have female characters in its new game's co-op multiplayer mode, the company returned with another controversial explanation about the absence of women in its games—this one focused on Far Cry 4.
Speaking in an interview with Polygon, Alex Hutchinson, the game's director, said that the developers were "inches away" from allowing players to choose between a man or woman as a co-op buddy in the upcoming shooter's multiplayer.
What stopped them? Hutchinson said it was "purely a workload issue." The team didn't have a "female reader for the character" at its disposal, nor did it have "all the animations in place."
He went on to say that "in the future, moving forward, this sort of stuff will go away" once developers settle into the new and improved technology."
"We did our best," Hutchinson concluded. "It's frustrating for us as it is for everybody else, so it's not a big switch that you can just pull and get it done."
Ubisoft's best wasn't good enough for some fans, however. Before Hutchinson's comments were first published, many gamers disappointed with the company's earlier statements about Assassin's Creed: Unity had already taken to Twitter with the hashtag #womenaretoohardtoanimate in a widespread effort to call bullshit on the reasoning behind leaving female characters out of that game.
Other game developers called out Ubisoft for what they saw as flimsy logic too. Naughty Dog animator and former Assassin's Creed III animation director Jonathan Cooper, for instance, took to Twitter today to express his doubt about how hard it really is to model female characters on top of male ones, drawing from his own experience at Ubisoft.
What's fanning the flames here is the close timing of the two explanations, coupled with the fact that two entirely separate development teams working on unrelated games offered nearly identical reasons for not bringing female avatars into the fold—even though Ubisoft had them in earlier Assassin's Creed and Far Cry games.
That's a big part of why people are confused and upset by both of Ubisoft's statements this week. The company has already made games with compelling female protagonists and characters including Beyond Good & Evil, Child of Light, and many previous Assassin's Creed titles. Far Cry 3 also had a playable female character in its co-op multiplayer mode. Since all those games were made for older and less sophisticated pieces of gaming hardware than the PS4 and Xbox One, justifying the sudden absence of women by pointing to technical constraints didn't seem to follow.

I don't get it. This quote here doesn't sound offensive, and a more accurate rendition of the interview I saw elsewhere explained that they simply didn't have the time to recreate all the animations for a female model, plus probably the same for voices. That sounds perfectly legitimate, especially since he's also adding that in the future, when they get used to the new engine, they'll have time to add a female model with all the same animations.

#womenaretoohardtoanimate
This is fucking ridiculous. He didn't say anything about how HARD it was to animate it, he said they were out of time. As in, deadlines and everything, you know. And in the other article I saw on the same interview, he was trying to hint that if they could go and finish it, it might make it as a DLC (though I wouldn't bet on it and it would depend on the lifetime of this game). This is just retarded. (the other article was probably something I saw on Destructoid I think)

If you're wondering why Ubisoft made the decision to omit female assassins from the upcoming Assassin's Creed: Unity's four-player cooperative mode, it's simple. And I'll admit, a little predictable. According to an interview with Ubisoft's creative director Alex Amancio at Polygon, the crew ran into the "reality of production" and found that including female character models is just too much work.
"It's double the animations, it's double the voices, all that stuff and double the visual assets," Amancio explained. "Especially because we have customizable assassins. It was really a lot of extra production work." He went on to clarify that in the game's cooperative mode, players can customize their own gear, but they'll see themselves as protagonist Arno no matter the outfitting. Friends would simply be displayed as other assassins with different faces. With this in mind, since as Amancio noted, they couldn't "cut their main character," the only option left was to give female avatars the axe.
Polygon spoke with level designer Bruno St. Andre about the topic at length as well, who estimated that the team would have had to recreate some 8,000 animations on a completely different skeleton for a female character, but he later noted that it's "dear to the team," so we can expect that it will happen "eventually."
Here's the one I saw first, it's very explicit and clear as day, you can't possibly misunderstand that. Worst part is that when I read they wouldn't do a female version, I thought about posting a joke on it calling them sexist pigs or whatever, but I couldn't come up with a good one (that would blatantly ignore what they actually said to boot with).

Well with how liberal the series is with reusing content from the previous games, im not sure why female character models could not be one of those things. But oh well, I guess it's next gen and pretty graphics are far more important then an even slightly diverse cast of playable characters.
Then again, I don't really plan on keeping up with this series anymore anyway, so whatever.

Hum... New engine, new platform, new standardized animations ?? Usually there's a big chance that none of what was done in the previous generation can be reused. They rebuild these things from the ground up. They reuse stuff when it's the same engine, this isn't the case.
Title: Re: gaming news that don't deserve their own thread
Post by: Nomechy on June 12, 2014, 11:46:45 pm
I meant with the previous titles, which is why I made the comment about emphasizing pretty graphics. I suppose you are right though, with the coming of a new generation something has to be sacrificed to keep up a consistent rise in quality (largely technical aspects of course) and in this case it just happens to be the entire female gender. Oh well, tough shit I guess.
Title: Re: gaming news that don't deserve their own thread
Post by: DKDC on June 12, 2014, 11:51:20 pm
Well they did have it easy reusing stuff between AC3, Liberation and Black Flag since those were the same engine, but I'm pretty sure I read in one of the many articles that they were moving on to the next version for Unity (despite what the Wikipedia article says right now), which is why it's PS4-only (I guess the pirate one that's going to be on the previous generation will keep the same version still). But that's also the reason they said they were getting used to this version and the female main character would come later on.
....... Unless I'm mistaken and what I read as "the next version of Anvil engine" was actually talking about AnvilNext, which is the name of the version used in 3, L and BF. Which would be a retarded way to phrase it, but not impossible. Where did I read that... Ah, no, I wasn't mistaken, it's on Ubisoft's site :
Introducing Assassin’s Creed® Unity, the blockbuster franchise’s new chapter powered by the all new Anvil engine, rebuilt from the ground up for new gen.
So yeah, everything is rebuilt from scratch. ... Oh hey, it has free running down walls this time.

Its still a tone deaf reply. you dont reply to a question about representation like that. It makes the animators look like assholes.
There is no reason a multi million production like that needs to recreate animation assets considering every female and male assassin shared animations, they shouldnt even have opened the door to that question even.

Christ! From that MarySue article:
Quote
It is 2014. The “it’s too much work” excuse for cutting playable women from your game no longer flies. It is reasonable for the production of any expensive media project to prioritize according to effort and reward. But it is too clear, too blindingly obvious at this point that this is coded language for “we think male characters are more important than female ones, because decades of institutionalized sexism in our industry have created a self perpetuating loop of devaluing female characters even when we are one of the biggest money makers in gaming.”
What an asinine statement. Spin levels are off the charts here. Shit like this makes my boy Bill O'Reilly seem almost sane. I can understand being frustrated about no female assassins whether planned or cut during development to meet deadlines or a budget, because lets face it Ubisoft is run by a marketing team, and marketing teams specifically target certain audiences because they know where the money will be coming from.
To say they cut it because of institutionalized sexism is the most fucking ridiculous thing I've ever heard-
Quote
2. Making the main character of the game a woman, and basing all the multiplayer characters on her instead. But who am I kidding. The idea of a triple A game without a playable male character, that’s laughable, isn’t it? I mean, a new Tomb Raider just came out like two years ago, so we’re good for at least half a decade.
Hahaha never mind. This sort of crap is right up their with Patricia Hernandez's "Castlevania: Lords of Shadow 2 promotes rape" nonsense. The Polygon ones are reasonable by comparison, and Polygon is usually pretty fucking bad when it comes to forced controversy for clicks.

Not worse than kotaku (who of course doesn't tell the entire story) but that's for another topic. Although I never heard of marysue until now.
I guess past history made people believe that Ubisoft's reasoning held no weight. Fellow devs calling them out didn't help any giving off the impression that it's not just another "fan retard crusade."
specially considering the rigger for the past game had said that they only needed new walk cycles for the females and reused everything animation wise from the men.
Yes, because female models need exaggerated hip movement for their walk animations in every single game that features male & female avatars. They didn't even need that but I guess that's only a minor detail in the entire subject.

So it turns out there's a bunch of hidden shaders in the PC version of Watch Dogs that makes it look like it did when it was presented at the past two E3's. (http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=838538) The theory that is going around is that Ubisoft intentionally disabled all of them to make the game look consistent with next-gen consoles (it might also be that they were disabled to improve performance, but it seems like people are reporting less stutter with all the hidden stuff turned on)
Pretty fucking shady, if true.

Fairly good chance they had to dumb the public versions down to have them look the same in all consoles, when clearly some consoles are less powerful than the others (I'm looking at you, XBOX 720)

Hilarious how one company can take so many bad decisions with one game. And we're talking about a company with experience.
People give Square Enix so much shit about what they do, but they at least gave us the best of the best when they released Sleeping Dogs, no speculation about console sales and all that crap. That high res texture pack free DLC enhanced the game so much one could never go back to the console version after that.

Well I enjoyed the game either way, so I really don't give a damn. And it was the journalists who decided to fix on the bust size despite it being a Q&A and they was asked that question, it's stupid that they focused on that like it's suddenly a bad thing just because.

I did think media made a bit too much of it; clearly it was meant to be a lighthearted thing. However, SE's track record was bad for like the last handful of games (thanks XIV), so doing something that would further tarnish the image of FF (like elaborating on jiggling breasts and the outfits that go with them) was not a good idea.

The best way I've heard XIII described is saying that playing it is like running through a very long tube: (http://socksmakepeoplesexy.net/index.php?a=ff13)
Quote
The most apt and frequently used comparison is that the whole experience of playing Final Fantasy XIII is like running through a very long tube. The Final Fantasy XIII experience and The Tube share a much deeper connection than a simple object/characteristic relationship. Final Fantasy XIII and The Tube are inextricable from and synonymous with each other.
Here's how it goes: you watch a cutscene, then take off down The Tube. You run through The Tube and fight monsters until you reach a point marked by an orange circle on your map. Most of the time the marker is superfluous, since The Tube generally follows a straight path. (Any deviation invariably leads to a dead end, a treasure chest sphere, and a group of monsters that must be defeated in order to open the chest sphere.) Then you watch a cutscene. Usually, these cutscenes say very, very little. It often seems as though the developers recorded the voice cast acting out a seven-minute conversation, then broke it up into several parts and and scattered them throughout The Tube. After the cutscene concludes, you continue on your way through The Tube towards the next cutscene marker, fighting inescapable two to five-minute battles against whichever monsters your character bumps into or gets jumped by. And then you watch another cutscene. And then you keep running through The Tube. And then you watch another cutscene. And then you keep running through The Tube.
And you do this for fifty hours.
EDIT: that's from a series of articles on FF, chronicling its rise, it's heights of VI and VII, the point at which the franchise "discovers its crack pipe" (VIII), and the beginnings of its fall (X), ending at XIII, which broke the author; it's a good read, but very long!

So what now? Well, it's still too early to guess what lasting impact Final Fantasy XIII will have on the franchise and Square Enix (Toriyama is already talking about a Final Fantasy XIII-2), but what I can say is that I'm finished with Final Fantasy. It has finally, irrevocably, and beyond doubting turned into something I no longer find interesting or entertaining. Most of the talent that initially made it worth playing is long gone, and has been supplanted by hacks, yes-men, and corporatism. It's become a cliche of itself. It's become boring -- and Square Enix has become the veritable Flavor Flav of the videogame industry. Today's Final Fantasy is not something I would ever spend sixty dollars and fifty hours on again, and it's definitely not something I plan on spending a week writing about after this.
A bit much, it's not like future games can't be substantially better (although I wouldn't bet on it). People are actually feeling decently good about XV from what I've heard. Just say XIII is a piece of shit and leave it at that; he wouldn't be the first one to say it.
To be fair, XIV was complete garbage so I can understand being fed up to that point.
I always got the impression that people liked FFX. Reading about X-2, now I understand it's flak. I just learned Toriyama also made X-2; wow.

I guess I'm not too picky, because XIII was just fine with me, I enjoyed just watching the story go by while following the world as they intended it to be. I honestly thought it would receive more comparisons to Metal Gear personally, but I guess that's just me. But as to XIII-2....well, it literally had the events you should do next labeled out for you, and you can revisit whatever time period whenever without worry of missing anything. It was only non-linear if you wanted it to be and chased after alt. history endings and other bonuses. It had problems, but being too non-linear? That's just silly.
Now, XIII-3. that just had a multitude of issues that I couldn't stand for. Which continues to bug me. Finally got a FF game I could get into, and it spawns a disappointing following series and a healthy amount of hatred.
Just my luck in tastes, eh?
But as to that new FF game with the ridiculous size...since my following on the newer ones is pretty small, XV's the one that has the city inspired by NYC, game's supposed to be that old XIII spin-off before XIII-2 was a thing, right? Because that just leaves me thinking of a FF New York state, traveling across it on the back of a giant chicken.

What's the point of making it that big? Are they thinking that bigger is better or what? Sure, Skyrim has a big world to explore, but that is combined with a lot of beautiful designs and lots of random and different encounters which makes exploring the map a good thing. If their plan is to make a plain that is 17 x Skyrim big, then that doesn't appeal at all.

Post by: DKDC on June 18, 2014, 03:38:47 pm
IINM wasn't that one of the reasons they gave when they said they didn't want to do a remake of FF7 right now ? Because they "would be admitting that they just can't do better". I don't think it really was SE's "big dream" to do something better. But I think that reason has changed since then, the director says it would be the project of a lifetime and he might not have the motivation to finish it through. But with the G-Bike Android game, apparently since CyberConnect2 is creating the base, if G-Bike does well, CC2 might go for the whole remake. ... Man, after Asura's Wrath, JoJo and the upcoming system revamp of Naruto Storm in Revolution, CC2 is really starting to be everywhere and doing pretty awesome stuff, and they're turning into something pretty serious beyond "chugging a new Naruto for casuals every year", it must be great to be with them.

Well a balance needs to be found obviously. Having a pland map that is too big is not good either, but having an interesting map that is stupidly small is not really much better. Whatever sense of adventure one might get from skyrim is gone the moment you realize that every area in the game is just a short stroll away from each other and you can fucking fast travel with no penalties.

I was trying to say that it gives off that impression. He has enough valid information to support his claim. Besides, I'm not knowledgeable enough on the mechanical nuances of RPGs to make a rebuttal that would be a decent counter-argument.

Japan hates it just as much, probably more. They don't have the same attachment to Final Fantasy they way the states do (they're more fond of Dragon Quest for starters). They were also critical of the whole thing with Lightning and her physical presentation. Since RPGs appeal more to the general public than any other genre in JP, they aren't as thrilled to see semi-pointless fanservice (Japan isn't completely occupied by mindless pervs, fascinating).

Well, different people, I liked all 3 games despite the issues the games have. I do agree that the REAL issue isn't actually the games themselves, but there was nothing between them to hold people down. Japan maybe more critical because it's not their baby like DQ is, but they still had atleast Type-0 to hold them down, and it didn't help Versus XIII was never a thing AND combined that with the very poor FFXIV 1.0, Final Fantasy was stuck at a real bad spot for those who didn't want to play or see XIII, meaning more hate festered in those who didn't like it while even those in the middle simply wanted it to end so people can stop bitching and Squenix can move on.
If FFXV did come up, there wouldn't even BE that much hatred for XIII-2 or LR:XIII, that's obviously guaranteed, but since there was nothing but those games for an entire console generation...
The only thing I can hope for so I can actually say I like the games without someone interrogating me like I'm some sort of alien is that FFXV or Type-0 gets put on that blame train or be ultra successful because I seriously I'm getting tired of that.

Idk, XIII-2 and LR's hate (moreso the former) seems to be more of a result of the first game leaving such a bad impression, and that people would've rather seen XIII forgotten about. Pushing Lightning as much as they did really didn't help, but I believe her detractors stem more from the creator she's pegged with (https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-8sZOKAThJfo/UEQ8HciLAqI/AAAAAAAACTY/0wKc_hyZqSs/s800/Toriyama%2527d%25206.png).

My biggest gripe with XIII-2 is actually kinda the opposite of that with people tired of seeing her. They push you having this no nonsense super-god fusion between Thor and Cloud, even have her on the cover of the game, so you'd be led to expect to play as her. And you do, for all of the tutorial, then you're dropped with the last boy on Earth and the schoolgirl turned into school teacher/master archer and swordsman, somehow.
Whatever sense of adventure one might get from skyrim is gone the moment you realize that every area in the game is just a short stroll away from each other and you can fucking fast travel with no penalties.
I wouldn't call it a short stroll to get to each hold. And you have to discover each new place first before you are able to fast travel. Fast travel helps when you need to get from Solitude to Whiterun and back or some other long distance destination to kill a troll or something.

It's like a 15-20 minute walk from one hold to another and you can fast travel to them directly with a carriage for a tiny fee.
And I do agree that the fast travel works for they way the quest work in the game as they are, but it does hurt the immersion greatly and if anything the game needs in an overhaul in how the quests are laid out.

A Touhou otaku has been arrested for threatening to pour kerosene on a young woman who’s voice work in a doujin video apparently did not meet the standards and style he expected of Reimu-portrayal.
The 26-year-old Aichi prefecture NEET made a series of posts to 2ch in which he threatened by name a 22-year-old part-time seiyuu, saying he would “douse her in kerosene and watch her fry.”
His anger apparently stemmed from the amateur voice work she did for a MikuMiku Dance level CG video posted on NicoNico Douga.
In other posts he made he said she “has totally damaged the character” and “deserves divine retribution,” and seems to have been behind a one-man campaign to defame her and leak her personal information as widely as possible.
He admits the offence, and now faces charges of intimidation.
Touhou is serious bizness...

EA (http://www.destructoid.com/ea-battlefield-4-was-a-victim-of-its-own-ambition-276904.phtml) and Ubisoft (http://www.destructoid.com/ubisoft-comments-on-watch-dogs-unused-graphics-settings-276892.phtml) are doing damage control, again.
Electronic Arts said:
"Think about what Battlefield 4 was -- 64 player multiplayer, giant maps, 1080p, Levolution that was changing the gameplay design in an emergent way. There is a chance there are things you are going to miss through the development cycle. And you end up in a situation we had with Battlefield 4."
"For me, the situation we had was unacceptable. For the team it was unacceptable. We have worked tirelessly since then to make sure the gameplay experience got to where it absolutely should have been at launch and we're focused on that and we continue to deliver value to that player base."
Ubisoft said:
"The dev team is completely dedicated to getting the most out of each platform, so the notion that we would actively downgrade quality is contrary to everything we've set out to achieve. We test and optimize our games for each platform on which they're released, striving for the best possible quality. The PC version does indeed contain some old, unused render settings that were deactivated for a variety of reasons, including possible impacts on visual fidelity, stability, performance and overall gameplay quality."
"Modders are usually creative and passionate players, and while we appreciate their enthusiasm, the mod in question (which uses those old settings) subjectively enhances the game's visual fidelity in certain situations but also can have various negative impacts. Those could range from performance issues, to difficulty in reading the environment in order to appreciate the gameplay, to potentially making the game less enjoyable or even unstable."
Now if only there were actual consequences they suffered from for being so damn incompetent.

DICE discusses the design philosophy for the new Mirror’s Edge and even discusses VR support.
The team also recognizes that controls in the first game were not great, and as a result DICE is trying to make the next Mirror’s Edge more fun and less irritating. “We really want to continue doing that but removing a bit of the frustration that came with that in the first game,” Troedsson said. “We’re focusing on first-person combat this time around, to make sure we bring that experience into something that is really fun and accessible.”

So we finally know the characters that were hidden in the previously released trailer, and most likely the bosses Komaru will have to fight against. I'm surprised, though, that there's somebody that would want to hug Fukawa, taking into account that Komaru must probably know she's Genocider Sho.

Despite its niche, if almost nonexistent fanbase the Afro Samurai game from way back is getting a sequel.
Quote
Afro Samurai is to be transported to video game land once more, as indie publisher Versus Evil has today announced a sequel to the game based on the popular animated series. A "third-person action adventure", Afro Samurai 2 will see you dismembering your foes in typically gruesome fashion.
"The Afro Samurai sequel is in development at Redacted Studios for next gen consoles and PC. This upcoming third person action adventure includes an original storyline, new playable characters, and improved special moves and combos which firmly establishes the franchise as the undisputed leader in dynamic dismemberment," the press release from Versus Evil reveals.
There's currently no further information, a date or even a release window for the Afro Samurai sequel, but Versus Evil promises more details on the game "over the coming months".
I sorta liked it and even finished it a few months ago. I would at the least give it a shot.

As I recall Kojima said he wanted it to be about Raiden saving Sunny from the Patriots and said he'd help work on it if they did that, but Platinum was adamant about it being a sequel (I'm guessing because it'd be hard to reuse assets if they took the next game backwards)

According to Eventhubs, a translation of their's explains why Capcom removed their Takeover Defense status.
Japanese news portal Business Journal has published a report that sheds a little more light on the Capcom board's rejection of Takeover Defense Plan at the company's general shareholders' meeting recently.
According to the report, 47.41% of the board were in favour of renewing the plan, down from 58.92% at the general meeting held on June 2012. Business Journal considers this an anomaly, especially since 45.08% of Capcom's stock is currently held by foreign investors outside of Japan. This figure has increased by more than 10% since 2012.
So what caused the Capcom board to reject the renewal of takeover defense counter-measures? According to the report, Capcom's foreign shareholders (outside of Japan) saw the takeover defense plan as a white elephant, as they stand to profit greatly from an M&A (Mergers and Acquisitions) deal, should something of the sort happen. An American consultancy firm that these foreign investors hired had recommended against the Takeover Defense Plan. But an M&A is not something that Capcom board chairman and CEO Kenzo Tsujimoto would want, Business Journal writes. Tsujimoto has reportedly been pumping his dividend earnings from Capcom into Kenzo Estate, his winery business in Napa Valley.
You may think it a little odd why the founder of one of the most successful video games companies in the world would think to go into the winery business. But the rationale behind this move is a lot more logical than you'd think: as the games industry is subjected to plenty of uncertainties, Tsujimoto decided a number of years back to invest in an industry that has remained viable for over hundreds of years: winery.
In the first place, it was only through sheer luck and market conditions that led to Tsujimoto founding Capcom. After completing high school, Tsujimoto had inherited his family's food wholesaling business from his uncle. Eventually, he decided to leave the family business. Next, Tsujimoto started a company selling cotton candy and, subsequently, pachinko machines designed for children. Gaming machine sales were so booming that he eventually decided to rent out the machines instead of selling them. But when the Space Invaders boom, and such gaming machines in general, started to fade, Tsujimoto moved on to found Capcom, in order to capitalise on the console gaming boom.
Tsujimoto's latest venture, Kenzo Estate has thus far been a success. But it is still in the growing stage. Should Capcom be acquired, Tsujimoto may stand to lose a reliable way of financing his winery business.
As such, Business Journal is reporting that Capcom plans to re-propose the takeover defense plan at the general shareholders' meeting next year.
Foreigners would profit greatly from Capcom being bought out; CEO needs Capcom for his wine company.

IGN said:
First reported by Famitsu (via CVG), the game is currently a PS3-exclusive with no solid news about a release outside of Japan. We reached out to Bandai Namco to see if it had any more information, but unfortunately were out of luck.
The game will revolve around you completing various missions centered on the wanton destruction of prime real estate, and is designed to look like the older movies from the 1950's and beyond via select camera angles, screen tints and the like. The recent 2014 Hollywood version of the beast is also said to make an appearance.
It's not due out in Japan until winter, so there's still plenty of time for a western release to materialise.

Gamestop is interested in “getting involved at the time of game development where there could be some content exclusive to [the retailer] included in the game.” (http://venturebeat.com/2014/07/07/gamestop-getting-involved-with-games-development/)

So they're just doing what they already do, just earlier? I remember Assassin's Creed II onward having special missions and levels done just for Gamestop purchases. If I'm not crazy, there was a racing game some years ago that had specific tracks for Gamestop and Amazon too due to their early involvement? Forza, maybe?
Well, as long as said exclusive content isn't anything crucial to the game that the lack of it elsewhere is detrimental to the game, let them make their camo battle rifles and bunny avatars playable or whatever they're doing.

The others do seem to have better voices though. Obviously Twogami has the 1st game Togami voice even though he doesn't speak in the trailer, but there's still some characters we don't know how their voices are like. So far I like them all except Monomi.

poster from neogaf said:
Things Missing/Downgraded in TS4: No Create-A-Style (added in vanilla TS3) No Toddler life stage (added in vanilla TS2) No pools (there since vanilla TS1) No 64-bit client (not a "removal", but a complete lack of future proofing) No open world (added in vanilla TS3), small districts instead Heavily nerfed story progression (added in vanilla TS3) Loading times back: at least 30 seconds No terrain editing No Store lots (added in Vanilla TS2) No Work lots (added in Vanilla TS3) No School lots (added in Vanilla TS3)
A major disappointment indeed until it's realized that EA is behind this game, so this is all par for the course. Makes sense because, why add it all in one complete package when it can be sold as expansion pack DLC that people will buy anyway?

Hm, the news of that bundle coming out today is at least a week old, nearing two if not so already.
$15 for each title outside the bundle? I bought each at 800 MSP before they lost the funny money, that would be $10. Weird, I never heard they increased the pricing on them.
Well, regardless, they're still great games, got that old Stop n' Swop thing implemented now and dragon Kazooie's there. They even have Stop n' Swop 2 for Banjo-Threeie there too if that ever actually happens...though given the decade wait on the last Stop n' Swop to just cop out to be gamerpics, a theme and a new move for Kazooie that's not really useful, it probably wouldn't be anything all that special anyways.

The purpose is to get Capcom some more money out of the game at almost no expense. Make no mistake, this is the PC version being ported to consoles. The only real change is gonna be texture updates, the game running at 60, the DLC being included and probably some more costumes they slapped together (if that).

SEGA has confirmed that the cast from the original Alien, including Sigourney Weaver — Ellen Ripley herself — will make an appearance in the upcoming Alien: Isolation. The catch is a big one, because you’ll only get to witness it if you preorder the game. At GameStop.
As a life-long fan of the film, the idea of seeing the original cast come together for the first time in nearly two decades sounds amazing. Including Ripley, the DLC will also reunite Tom Skerritt (Dallas), Veronica Cartwright (Lambert), Harry Dean Stanton (Brett), and Yaphet Kotto (Parker).
It’s such a great idea on SEGA’s part, and it’s excellent fan service, but making it preorder exclusive DLC? Just, no. (http://bloody-disgusting.com/news/3302365/alien-cast-confirmed-alien-isolation-preorder/)

Jimquisition had an episode on that and I completely agree with it. It's horrifying how much they are screwing over people into preordering by ripping pretty much should guaranteed into the game and making them "bonuses".

The "at Gamestop" part is what got me.
This trend will catch fire. Soon people will be debating which pre-order parties are better (Amazon ftw). Some people will claim it can't get any worse even though it will (prepare to pay for crucial in-game content all because you didn't preorder from Gamestop). And people with any kind of sense will just pity anyone supporting a concept that shouldn't even exist but does because why would you not separate a fool from his money? I know I would, although in a more PR friendly way of course.

Don't expect a public reveal of the new Doom anytime this year (http://www.pcgamer.com/2014/07/18/doom-was-revealed-to-counter-fears-of-trouble-at-id-software-public-reveal-unlikely-this-year/)
Quote
Speaking to PC Gamer about yesterday’s Doom reveal at QuakeCon, Bethesda Softworks VP of PR and Marketing Pete Hines explained that the livestream cut out because Doom isn’t ready for a “formal announcement." Only QuakeCon attendees in the room were allowed to see the gameplay demonstration, and unless video of it leaks, we probably won’t see anything else about Doom until next year.
"I try really, really hard for this to be a dev first, dev-lead thing," said Hines, and id Software isn't ready for a worldwide reveal of Doom. "We’re working with them to say, ‘How does this work? What do we want to show?’ And they’re like, ‘Look, we don’t want a stream to go up for a game that isn’t at the point where we would formally show it to the world, and now that thing is getting picked apart, and digested, and gone through frame-by-frame and getting nitpicked to death, when normally we wouldn’t be showing this to anybody at all.’”
If it normally wouldn’t be shown to anybody, why show it at all? Aside from not wanting yet another QuakeCon without Doom, Hines says he wanted to quell doubts about Doom and the id Software team, which “bothered the hell” out of him. At the same time, he didn't want to "deal with the repercussions" of a formal announcement, which would come with too many expectations.
"I really wanted to put something out there that, in a strong way, said, ‘id is working on something that we think is really cool,’" said Hines. "And we wanted ... to show something to [id Software fans] that gives them the confidence that it is still a viable studio that’s doing really cool stuff, that is making a game you want to play, and is treating Doom with the care and respect that you want.
"And now we’re going to go away and go back to making the game, but to be able to counter other people talking about us and we’re sort of just sitting here staying silent, or operating from this negative space of like, ‘Oh, it got rebooted, oh it’s in trouble.’ All of that stuff just bothered the hell out of me."
As for the fans who couldn’t make it to QuakeCon, Hines says “there was no perfect version” for the reveal. Trying to get Doom ready to “bring a bunch of press guys in” would have meant missing QuakeCon again. The private showing was a compromise: id Software earns renewed confidence, QuakeCon attendees aren't disappointed, and Bethesda can go back to being quiet about Doom until it's ready.
“Next year is normally when I think we would’ve started,” said Hines, so Doom will likely be revealed publicly then. He went on to express that plans can change, and it’s even possible he’ll be asked to post the stream, but then clarified, “I don’t think there’s any way that happens.” 2015 it is.

Piracy is no longer a crime in the UK. (http://www.vg247.com/2014/07/22/britain-just-decriminalised-online-game-piracy/)
Quote
The British government has decriminalised online video game, music and movie piracy, scrapping fuller punishment plans after branding them unworkable.
Starting in 2015, persistent file-sharers will be sent four warning letters explaining their actions are illegal, but if the notes are ignored no further action will be taken. The scheme, named the Voluntary Copyright Alert Programme (VCAP), is the result of years of talks between ISPs, British politicians and the movie and music industries. The UK’s biggest providers – BT, TalkTalk, Virgin and Sky – have all signed up to VCAP, and smaller ISPs are expected to follow suit. VCAP replaces planned anti-piracy measures that included cutting users’ internet connections and creating a database of file-sharers.
Geoff Taylor, chief executive of music trade body the BPI, said VCAP was about “persuading the persuadable, such as parents who do not know what is going on with their net connection.” He added: “VCAP is not about denying access to the internet. It’s about changing attitudes and raising awareness so people can make the right choice.” Officials will still work to close and stem funding to file-sharing sites, but the news appears to mean that the British authorities have abandoned legal enforcement of online media piracy.
Figures recently published by Ofcom said that nearly a quarter of all UK downlaods were of pirated content.
Where's the fun in being a pirate if it doesn't have legal repercussions? :P

Apparently Square Enix has an issue with the fan made English patch for Final Fantasy Type-0 and plans to strike down the fans who translated the game at Sky's RomHacking Nest site (http://www.skybladecloud.net/type-0-translation-patch-unavailable/#comment-1503045663) with potential legal action.
Reading the article the person heading the project seems to actually be in the wrong this time.
Seeing as the kotaku link was removed (and rightfully so), apparently it went something like this:
Sky and the translation team were contacted by Square Enix a few months back when the patch was still in development, and offered them a mutual solution to where both sides would benefit. Sky signed an NDA agreement, and more or less kept in constant contact with SE until he made the decision to release the (incomplete) patch in June, without the knowledge of SE or his teammates, which pretty much pissed off the rest translation team. After SE made the official announcement that Type-0 would get a western release, he believed that SE only did so as a reaction to the patch.
Yeah, sounds douchey to me. Basically the Skullgirls Juju incident all over again.

Japanese site Freshers (フレッシャーズ) conducted a poll last month asking 500 people if they played video games. Those who answered "yes" (138 people) were then asked if they had a preferred game developer. The 73 that said "yes" to both were then asked which game developer that was.

yeah, as someone who was reading the manga before this happened I was going to comment that the very first chapter had a lot of balance between what gets covered with some extra focus on sf2, but after a few chapters the manga focuses a lot on snk properties; it0s very likely that they wanted to keep this under the water, but since this was relatively succesful (the manga volumes are selling 100k units, which is more than any snkp game sells now afaik) and got an anime adaptation snkp could not keep on turning a blind eye, not after the anime staff asked them for permission.

I don't like the idea of Rise of the Tomb Raider being an Xbox One exclusive from a monetary standpoint. I remember that the reboot didn't sell that well (well, according to the expectations that Square Enix supposedly had for it) and that was a multi-platform game.
Now, you have a brand new game and making it a platform exclusive is sort of defeating the goal of trying to sell x amount of copies. I understand that both sides want exclusive titles for their side, but unless you can be sure that it'll sell like hotcakes, it might not be worth the risk.

However, he declined to confirm how long that duration is set for.

They announced it all through Payday related stuff The countdown FINISHED on Payday 2's fucking birthday They made references to the Payday universe throughout the 30-odd days They used the community they have on Steam to gain hype for something that's not coming out for 2 FUCKING YEARS
And finally, the worst of it all;
TOMORROW NOW 35 DAYS LATER 2016 JUST WOW
Sorry I'm so fuming it's just using the community.
Manly tears were shed. I never felt so legit butt hurt about a PR stunt (And a fucking videogame thing to boot) in my entire life. One of the most dishonest marketing campaigns ever. Don't get surprised if any trailer for this game gets tons of dislikes.

That would make getting the games easier. Unless they pull some crap like only available in Japan, which I hope they don't.
Also, did you notice the change of icon of Steam? And that all Kalypso games got a huge price drop?
Additionally, the game will support up to eight different save slots.
We finally get more than one save slot! Goddamn, about time you introduce this in the Etrian Odyssey series. About damn time.

honestly though I think the Idea is the money they get from Microsoft outways the risk they would take by making it multiplatform and potentially not making as much.
Title: Re: gaming news that don't deserve their own thread
Post by: chrono.st on August 16, 2014, 08:07:30 pm
It isn't an Xbox exclusive, its been confirmed to a timed exclusive, so they are still going to take the "risk" of making the game multiplatform by giving it to the much larger PS4 market at a later date (and then hopefully a PC release). So still multiplatform.
From what Kuchera and everyone was assuming at the time, it was thought it would be a fully exclusive title to the Xbox One's much smaller market vs the larger PS4 market which already has a long time Sony/Tomb Raider fan base. So by that logic MS had to be SE a fuckton of money to outweigh the potential hundred of thousands to millions of lost sales, assuming that even half of the 6.5 million purchases of Tomb Raider 2013 are interested in a sequel. And given the success and general reception of the game from everyone outside of SE itself seems like a safe bet there will be plenty of people still interested. So basically SE would have to have been on serious drugs to do a full exclusive to XBox or Microsoft is stupid and very desperate, none of which is true either.
I don't care much about the exclusivity as much as Ben Kuchera is paid to act and write like an bigger fuckwit than he was at both ArsTechnica and Penny Arcade, which I didn't think was possible during those times.

“Crystal has been investing in that game and Square has as well, in Tomb Raider as a franchise, and wanting to put it at the highest level, with the big triple-A franchises out there, but that’s expensive,” Spencer says. ... “And they want to build that game up to the same level as any of the huge triple-A games out there. It used to a big dominant game. Crystal has done a great job in rebuilding it since ’09, when they started kickstarting it, but continuing to invest at that level, it takes a partnership.” ... Meanwhile, in a separate interview with Kotaku U.K., Spencer also confirmed that Microsoft are investing money in the marketing and development of Rise of the Tomb Raider.
So yeah, it all sounds like Squenix/Crystal was short on cash to push the game to the fabled AAA status (because AAA means modeling every single mole on Lara's butt one by one, and you don't understand that it costs money, guys), and Microsoft simply gave them the money to finish the game, in exchange for (timed) exclusivity.
edit http://www.destructoid.com/tomb-raider-deal-doesn-t-come-from-an-evil-space--279770.phtml Actually, there's some interesting comments over here. The desire to go up against Uncharted is obvious, but it's interesting to see they do try to build their own IPs, that they're just not on par yet and TR is there to get people used to the genre on this console (to show that it can have this kind of game on the front line), and the comment regarding the exclusivity itself in the console war (the last quote). If Squenystal needed the money and MS just gave them enough to finish the game, and as long as the exclusivity is only timed, maybe it's okay.

However, the people being exposed need to be held accountable because it's a bad look on whomever they represent (not that it will matter for the one Kotaku journalist).
Title: Re: gaming news that don't deserve their own thread
Post by: Iced on August 21, 2014, 03:02:13 am
because it will never get proven, industry politics will see to that.
The ex-boyfriend gave proof (unspecified), so it's already a done deal.
this case is important but not on what most people are focusing on
The issue here is not "game dev is sleeping with five guys omg" no one should give a fuck about who the girl has sex with.
the issues are more about the following.
=> she was a relatively unknown until she proposed a game towards steam greenlight, the game was pretty much flashgame status and was going to be refused until => suddenly groups started "attacking her" and "threatening her" and kotaku reported heavily on it, resulting on her game being greenlighted almost imediately. The group accused of the attacks denied and complained repeatedly but were ignored. => she was being prepped up by kotaku and other gaming report stuff as a big feminist advocate to be followed on, and as having big integrity. => she was responsible for doxing a charity group and dismantling their operation , the group couldnt find anyone that would help them because she stood against them claiming they were abusing women rights.
=> now her ex boyfriend has revealed she was sleeping with at least five people in the gaming industry, kotaku editor and her married dev boss included. he also revealed tons of logs where she goes on about manipulating people and is more worried about her image as an equality star than about, for instance, revealing to the boss wife he is cheating on her.
This throws in the case that her integrity has been compromised and all the situations where she was being propped up by kotaku were due to those situations , even the "attacks" that suddenly made her famous now seem to have been just manipulation from her, she is shown as being sleazy. It also shows that the whole thing covered on kotaku was done by people that were sleeping with her. Phil Fish and Anita sarkathing are defending her. ( phil is dev with one of the persons she fucked) and the whole thing is a giant fucking mess.
gaming journalism is a nepotism pitt to begin with, this throws whatever integrity they seemingly had out of the window, and ofc most sites are refusing to cover this.
article about it : http://www.gamerheadlines.com/2014/08/kotaku-and-zoe-quinn-accused-of-exchanging-positive-press-for-sex/
boyfriend blog: http://thezoepost.wordpress.com/
tl dr: someone who was being portrayed as the image of morality and ethics is sleazy and corrupt, pieces where she posed against great threats were fabricated, more news at eleven.
Ofc this same media is now claiming this is "anti feminists and mras targeting feminists" instead of focusing on the actual lack of integrity of the parts involved. http://motherboard.vice.com/blog/zoe-quinn-slut-shaming-the-feminist-conspiracy-and-depression-quest which gets us back at the whole "the perspective of the gaming media is being fabricated by the interests of a few"
the worse part of this is that it overshadows the work of non sleazy talented women by pushing forward the notion that women in positions of power only get there by fucking their bosses and etc. This whole thing , specially the charity people that got doxed and the fake "persecution" to push forward their agendas are abominable.

Stephen Totilo from Kotaku has now responded to the Zoe stuff.
Quote
In recent days I've been asked several times about a possible breach of ethics involving one of our reporters. While I believe no such breach occurred, I feel it is important for Kotaku readers who have questions to get clear answers.
The questions involve Nathan Grayson, who began writing for us part-time in March and joined us full-time in July.
The allegations have been extreme. Nathan has been accused of in some way trading positive coverage of a developer for the opportunity to sleep with her, of failing to disclose that he was in a romantic relationship with a developer he had written about, and that he'd given said developer's game a favorable review. All of those are troubling claims that we take seriously. All would be violations of the standards we maintain. Having spoken to Nathan several times, having looked closely at the numerous messages sent our way by concerned readers and, having compared published timelines, our leadership team finds no compelling evidence that any of that is true.
On March 31, Nathan published the only Kotaku article (http://tmi.kotaku.com/the-indie-game-reality-tv-show-that-went-to-hell-1555599284) he's written involving Zoe Quinn. It was about Game Jam, a failed reality show that Zoe and other developers were upset about being on. At the time, Nathan and Zoe were professional acquaintances. He quoted blog posts written by Zoe and others involved in the show. Shortly after that, in early April, Nathan and Zoe began a romantic relationship. He has not written about her since. Nathan never reviewed Zoe Quinn's game Depression Quest, let alone gave it a favorable review.
Given the information available to us both from Nathan and all sources presented online, I have no reason to believe any further action need be taken. The situation is fraught for all involved, including our readers, whose trust is paramount; inquiry is always welcome.

2. Is there any real benefit TO dox Phil Fish? I mean sure, he's a complete asshat and him getting off Twitter forever is a fucking boon, but why dox him to "teach him a lesson" about an event he wasn't really a part of?
People seriously need to think before they talk(YES, I do know one of the people Quinn slept with is a developer of Fez, but I don't think that it's enough to believe Fish himself got dox'ed because of that.)

this is phil fish faking out a dox to victimize himself, which goes back to what i said was most important about this. those shitdicks have learnt that victmization gets them paid popular and in the news, so Quinn and Fish and probably a few others have been faking out "attacks" on themselves and then using it to capitalize on the donations and support that erupt after anything like this happens.
In the real fucking world when you are insulted in the street people dont come after you to give you money and elevate your work, in the current indie gaming community that is what happens. Your kickstarters get approved, your greenlighting at steam that was about to be refused gets bumped up and approved, you win. And if its revealed you were lying like what happened to Quinn theres mostly no repercussions because the same people that would elevate you for being fakethreatened are the ones that dont care enough to follow up news on it. Congratz, a generation of sjw that thrives on being a victim.

Nobody can blame you for that. All the Marvel licensed games are either horrible or uninspired bland games.
Most of the big shot AAA ones are movie tie-ins with ZOMG graphics (Not really) but are often lacking in gameplay. UMVC3 must be one of the very few good marvel related games that were released in the last decade because of the work put into everything, including music (Must be the only Marvel game where you don't have a soundtrack that's composed of boring orchestra tracks), voice acting and references everywhere. It's just a plain fun game for any marvel fan.

I should've said "most of them" instead of "all", otherwise 4 good games out of 200 brings down the whole point doesn't it?
The Punisher has nothing that strong going for it really. It's an average 3rd person shooter with a torture mechanic. IT DOES break the usual problem Marvel games have regarding the soundtrack though, it's not orchestra BS so it makes the game infinitely more enjoyable. This is probably the best out of these 4 games and while it does nothing new for the genre it is by no means a bad game at all. Heck I may actually download it for PC, haven't played it in a LONG time.
X-Men Legends? Ugh, the soundtrack alone puts me to sleep and the sound direction ruins the whole experience. I also hated the designs featured there. If you can get past those points then you may probably enjoy the game. I can't stand anything from it though, it just looks ugly all around.
Spider-Man 2. Super overrated game with (Again) crappy soundtrack, I enjoyed the PSX games far more.
X-Men Origins Wolverine. Good game but with limited replayability. One of those "Finish once never touch it again" games. Rare instance where the game was FAR better than the movie (I know it's not about the movie itself).
Fun fact, 3 out of these 4 games are from 2 console generations ago (And the last one even had a PS2 version as well) and the best ones are BARELY part of the last decade. We really don't have many good Marvel games since a generation ago.

Did the first set of Spider-Man movie games use the Danny Elfman score, does anyone know? I can't remember. That was a pretty good score, certainly the most memorable superhero theme/score outside of the holy grails of John Williams's Superman and Danny Elfman's Batman. To me, at least. Superhero movie scores are just so unmemorable these days. :(

Looking through that twitter account it looks like she's admitted to going off half-cocked and not researching the matter properly. It's a shame that she's only going to apologize on some disposable alt account instead of @femfreq, but that would probably be expecting too much.

A bit of a late comment on an old news, but back to the whole Tomb Raider Microsoft thing, it just hit me that it was announced on both X Box One *and 360*. When it first came up, they were mostly talking about the huge boost in computer capacity and the graphic quality that the *new generation* of console gave the title (you know, the whole "modeling every single one of her hair and calculating their movement" thing they boasted back then, or something like that). I understood from that since the beginning that it was planned as a new gen-only title. But now, it's also on 360, which implies that when the exclusivity runs out, it has a chance to come out on PS3 too. So if the money Microsoft gave Crystal ends up making this possible, I'm quite fine with it, in the end. That is all.

It comes off that way because you make it that way. It doesn't help you(not just you, but it's becoming a pattern here) mock the very second something happens and for the next few replies, you get bitched/called stupid/etc before anyone says anything about what is actually wrong.
So I only come off as the latter because no one even bothered to explain WHY I said something stupid and I was forced to try and figure it out.

1. That WAS me joking around, I even tried to explain myself while you was bitching about it. I suffered a 3 day ban because I finally lost patience with you and I accept that, but don't you dare act like you are squeaky clean my friend.

Quick search says even a false (but believable) bomb threat can get 5 years in federal prison, yeah, although apparently, it's not instantly considered as terrorism (somehow, it's dependent on the state apparently, I thought this stuff would be on the federal level). Also, the Destructoid article said the threat claimed that the bomb was already onboard the plane in question, but I haven't seen any news of searching the plane and whether they did actually find a bomb or not. Probably because it's under a federal investigation by the FBI. But yeah, whether there really was a bomb or not, the guys behind this are in deep shit.

Earlier this month, we heard that SNK filed a criminal lawsuit against Square Enix for violating copyright infringement laws, and now, it looks like Capcom are suing Koei Tecmo for patent infringement, according to a report by Sankei.
To be more specific, Sankei’s report mentions that Capcom are suing Koei Tecmo Games due to the patent infringement in games such as Samurai Warriors: Xtreme Legends and 49 other titles for a total of about 980 million yen (about $9.43 million).
According to the lawsuit, Capcom filed a patent back in 2002 that involves a function that lets you acquire new content by combining an existing game with another piece of software.
While the description of the patent’s full contents remains unclear, it appears that Capcom are effectively referring to the idea of expansion packs, and importing content into the new version of a game. Since the patent was filed back in 2002, it likely covers the concept of using expansion discs in conjunction with the original disc of a game, in order to unlock content.
Additionally, another patent mentioned in the report is a controller-vibrating notification feature when enemy characters are nearby. Capcom claims that the patent infringement “has greatly contributed to the sales” of Koei Tecmo’s titles.
It is said that Koei Tecmo has seen a profit of about 9.73 billion yen in total sales, and Capcom are looking to acquire around 5 - 10% in license fees. They’re also demanding the suspension of sales on several Tecmo Koei titles as well.

The expansion pack thing won't stand up in court, the practice predates Capcom's patent by over a decade. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sonic_%26_Knuckles) Besides, if Japanese patent law is anything like the West's (no guarantee, I know), estoppel by acquiescence would imply that by keeping silent for nine years Capcom gave up the right to litigation. Failing that, the statute of limitations on monetary recompense for patent infringement is typically five or six years. This is TK's in at least three different ways.
Also, bastard act, Capcom. If you're going to go to this much effort to kill Musou games, you better start releasing Basara games over here again.
It has the same vibration system Capcom is suing for. It makes you think why aren't they going after Konami as well if they really care about that particular patent violation.
In fact, which Capcom game even had that feature to begin with? Did it come out before or after MGS2?

Keep in mind that capcom is probably talking about a different kind of "content merging". Like a game reading if you own the previous game via different ways rather than putting one cart above the other like S3&K did (Which required owning both pieces of hardware (The carts) and nothing else).
Their patent is probably more like "The new game has all the data, if it finds that you own the previous game via saves it will unlock the content that's already on the disc". You're not splitting the game in half like what SEGA had to do in the past (Where both games are required 100% of the time because they both hold the entire game data together), you just need to verify that you own the previous game and not actually insert the disc into the console.

The Indiegogo page of TFYC is back and 4chan has already contributed over $13,000 dollars.
Quote
Sunday Morning at around 4:00 AM the Indiegogo page of The Fine Young Capitalists was hacked by accessing Matthew’s Indiegogo account. The Hackers were able to modify the Indiegogo page, deleting all the information and replaced the description with text stating the campaign had been closed, on account of the way that /v/ had been treating an individual in the gaming community at the request of the Indiegogo team. Around 5:00 AM the Hackers deleted the campaign. None of the information presented on the page was true.
TFYC contacted Indiegogo almost immediately and they took steps to recover both the data and the campaign contributions. But because they were unsure if Matthew’s account was still compromised, they needed to contact him direct to prove his identity. After a conversation this morning and Matthew sending the relevant government ID, the campaign was reopened and is now taking contributions.
This has been hard on everyone involved. Indiegogo did takes step to contact us on Sunday but due to the time difference and everyone involved we were unable to make proper contact till Monday morning. We’d like to thank everyone for their patience and have taken steps to make sure this does not happen in the future.
On Success
Due to /v/ and 4chan’s effort in promoting the project and their link having successfully raised over $10,000 dollars and a logo they choose will appear at the start screen of the game,and in correspondence to the community if the game is successfully backed. We’d like to thank them for their encouragement.
We will continue to make video promoting Women in Video Game at the request of 4chan. The newest one should be uploaded as of the time of this statement.
The current value of all 4chan’s contribution is over $13,000 dollars.

You can't sue over the idea but you can use over the implementation; I am hoping they are suing because the way ti was implemented was very-very similar to the way capcom does it, to teh point where you can suspect that en employee who mvoed companies took the information with him.

On the current situation
Before you ask, there's a list of things I'm not going to do. I'm not going to tell anyone who I actually am; that's point one. I'm a blogger and I am paid for my writings, and I have cause to believe that I would legitimately be either fired or in a very very unfavourable position as a result of this. Make of that what you will. I'm not going to make a video. I'm not going to swear unconditional allegiance to some sort of movement that calls itself 'anti-SJW' because I believe that tarring anyone who vociferously campaigns for social justice with the same brush is unfair. And I should know: I've been unfair. To 4chan.
Allow me to explain. Before all of this started I was alerted by a friend (who will also remain unnamed because she is also in an awkward position) of this whole situation. The background to me AT THE TIME was thus: here is a woman, Ms Zoe Quinn, being slut shamed, having her game bombarded with troll reviews and 1/10 scores, getting doxxed, getting her private life more or less splashed all over the gaming and tech journalism district of the internet. And here's a company, TFYC, that I 'knew' to be an exploitative, nasty piece of work from the failed project in the past attempting to ride this wave to fund itself after the first attempt failed.
I was incensed. Here was 4chan, an entity that as far as I was concerned existed only to call me a slut and a cunt in the comments sections of my articles, claiming to be all pro-feminism. I took to twitter to make my opinions known. I made reactionary posts because I thought that TFYC had stone age trans policies (they don't) and that they were mansplaining feminism from a position of privilege (they aren't). I went so far as to call collusion with 4chan a form of deep corruption, compromising so-called 'feminist' values for the sake of making profit. That was until I saw that they stand to make NO money from this and will in fact be giving women with good ideas, not programmers, a portion of the profits commensurable with a producer in the entertainment industry.
And the rest goes to charity.
And then I thought: why am I against this again? Details emerged. The project was more or less killed by Zoe Quinn claiming that they were anti-trans and exploitative. This was a stance I absolutely believed, and I believed it because Ms Quinn said it. I didn't do research. Why would I? Obviously someone as awesome as her would know what she's talking about. And therein lies the problem. It's so easy to misdirect and deflect blame or scrutiny from yourself by choosing your words carefully. I came to learn that 4chan is the way it is because of anonymity, NOT because of some deep rooted ideology. A friend came to me (not disclosing - seeing a pattern here?) and told me that they browsed their lgbt board. Another explained to me that it's sort of like reddit in that the overall entity cannot be spoken for by its subdivisions, which have their own culture and often fight amongt themselves to boot.
And then I started to get headaches, and sweat, and get cravings for the cigarettes that I gave up years ago, because I just made the kind of errors I constantly lampooned people for making: I did not do my research. For that I am sorry. I am sorry I insulted 4chan and I am sorry I insulted The Fine Young Capitalists. I even gave money, for what it's worth.
Don't think this means I've 'defected' in some way. Anyone making twitter accounts solely to harass people with foul language and insults is a leech. But equally, any 'SJW' (shudders at using the term) who blindly defends Ms Quinn and thinks this is just about misogyny is WRONG. WRONG WRONG WRONG. This wouldn't be going on for over a week if it was and there wouldn't be THOUSANDS raised for charity and there wouldn't be people demanding that Nathan Grayson resign (he should) or that Zoe Quinn should apologise for issuing false DMCA requests (she absolutely should).
And to anyone trying to take away 4chan's donations by calling them 'spiteful'...hello? Do you remember how you all threw money at Anita Sarkeesian to spite the mean trolls harassing her? That money was given out of spite, but you STILL BELIEVED IN HER CAUSE. People don't just open their wallets out of pure spite to the tune of 30 thousand dollars. If the cause of feminism in gaming was REALLLY so abhorrent to ALL of 4chan, then they wouldn't give money, period. Imagine asking me to give money to some pro-life group just because it would spite one of the cretins who posts NSFW photos on my blog posts. I'd NEVER do it and don't pretend a lot of you would either. There has to be some underlying sympathy.
And as a final point: I've begun to notice an awful lot of harassment coming from people I'd consider to be on 'my' side. SJW's throwing around words like neckbeard, virgin, misogynist pigs, even going so far as to compare them to ISIS. Sorry guys but just because 4chan is a big meanie, doesn't mean you get to be bigoted and uninformed as well. Five minutes' reading will tell you that Zoe Quinn is not an emblem of feminism in gaming, she's a rebuttal to it. She symbolises a 'straw-feminist' that I never would've thought existed had this whole situation not blown up. I'll think carefully on this last point from now on, and you all should too.
Love and kisses, 'Ariel'

DoctorWhoTV said:
Doctor Who is set to become “Blocktor Who” when characters from the series arrive on the Xbox 360 edition of Minecraft in September.
Available on over 84 million Xbox devices worldwide, a deal between BBC Worldwide and developers Microsoft Studios and Mojang will give Minecraft players access to a range of Doctor Who assets, allowing them to change their avatar to resemble their favourite characters from the show.
The first pack – priced at just $2.99/£1.99/€2.85/$2.95AUS – will include a character inspired by the Twelfth Doctor, plus five other Doctors, each of their on-screen companions and some of the Doctor’s most well known adversaries including his arch-nemeses, the Daleks.
The deal will bring more packs as time goes on, introducing many of the most recognisable characters from the past 50 years of Doctor Who. Each skin pack will feature at least six Doctors and will be released regularly following the broadcast episodes in Series 8.

Quote
Nintendo is often criticized for not catering to the hardcore demographic, and Shigeru Miyamoto, beloved game designer and General Manager of Nintendo EAD, agrees the company should focus on dedicated fans. In an Edge magazine interview Miyamoto expresses his dissatisfaction with the average mindset of the passive gamer.
"[These are] the sort of people who, for example, might want to watch a movie. They might want to go to Disneyland," he begins, "Their attitude is, 'okay, I am the customer. You are supposed to entertain me.' It's kind of a passive attitude they're taking, and to me it's kind of a pathetic thing." He continues that, "They do not know how interesting it is if you move one step further and try to challenge yourself [with more advanced games]."

Rhythm of Fighters became free today (on Android, iOS later), I downloaded it about 5 hours ago and I cleared like 7 courses. I never touched a rhythm game, but it's really well done, they thought of all the little details to make it easier to play (and the RPG-leveling element is quite original, at least for what I would expect of a rhythm game, it bridges the rhythm game and the fight going on in the background). There are some weird choices of song though, some don't really have a good tempo so it feels weird. The difficulty leveling is brutal. (people who already bought it are getting free new music packs, don't worry)

Beating up Monster The Whale sounds really weird, even if it's KH.
I have BBS Final Mix, and that fight is quite disappointing. I had more fun fighting Armor of the Master and No Heart, specially with their awesome themes appearing during the match. There's also Red Eyes too, and it was an okay match too, though the rainbow clones were quite annoying and it became a total magic spam, something I personally don't like but oh well.
Oh, and get ready when you fight No Heart. It's a goddamn long fight. No kidding, I needed 30 minutes in order to beat him. And there's two parts, though the first one is easy to do with Shotlock. Armor of the Master was shorter, and this boss has different desperate attacks depending on who you use to fight.
For KH2, the Chamber of Rememberance is the most awesome way to add replayability to bosses (something KH series lacks, though you had a little replayability in some of the portable console games) plus giving you a challenging fight. I had a lot of fun in that chamber. Mysterious Soldier was also a fun boss to fight too, though it was really hard to break the curse since language was in Japanese if you got hit by it and you basically had no idea of what to do. Also, you'll see that the first combo you do to Mysterious Soldier does shit damage, but don't worry as the next one does a lot more.

No it didn't. It was rushed and buggy.
It's by no means a BAD game at all. It's a good game, but it had a lot of problems. The vehicle handling was shit; you couldn't drive a van or truck without it tipping over. The terrible handling in general ALSO broke the "better handling" cheat completely. It did not have better handling at all. If you had troubles driving vehicles and tipping them over, prepare for that to get 8 times worse with "better handling." There was also blue hell almost everywhere, and certain items being locked out if you don't complete missions in the right order. These are all problems I can think of just off the top of my head.
Plus, they removed the "increased gore" cheat and it never came back! That was the best one!
You might prefer Tommy Vercetti voiced by Ray Liotta as a protagonist, and I won't hold that against you― he did a damn fine job, but apart from THAT and maybe the awesome licensed soundtrack (I love GTA3's soundtrack, even the in-house stuff has charm to it), GTA3 is still superior to Vice City in almost every other way.

GTA4 basically tried to bring back the imposing and dingy GTA3 atmosphere and combined it with some dark and miserable story that was kinda at odds with the fairly-dark-but-still-fun previous games (Especially Lost and Damned.) I mean Ballad of Gay Tony tried to bring back the silly shit but it just jarred with the other GTA 4 episodes.

The radio host were all amazing though, I mean they got Pam Grier, Bootsy and Kenny Loggins and they all did a kick-ass job on it. My biggest gripe is the talk radio shows, while well done, had only one episode for each show which got old pretty quickly. Lazlo's was pretty dull too.

what's wrong with him? I can kinda see you having a problem with AmazingAtheist but InternetAristocrat almost always makes very valid points.
Probably because of how blunt he is...
I really see that's alot of the problems people have with them, it's NEVER the fact they disagree, it's the fact it mainly factors "The Truth Hurts" in the age where you have to care for people's feelings at all times, even to the expense of your own.

Activision Publishing CEO Eric Hirshberg adds that Destiny is poised to trace the same trajectory as Bungie's previous work, Halo, meaning it could extend beyond gaming circles and into pop culture. The game has the potential to reach a massive audience, he says.
"Destiny has been a labor of love and a remarkable creative journey for everyone at Activision and Bungie," said Eric Hirshberg, CEO of Activision Publishing Inc.

I really need to stop scrolling down to the comments in Destiny news. It's getting depressing as hell.
Was going to pre-order, but felt I'd hold back and get this later. But given beyond dropping Marty and PlayStation getting all the bonuses, I haven't been disappointed yet by the game, maybe I should have. To my recollection, Bungie's previous pre-order stuff doesn't get re-released at later points.

The Sims 4 turned out pretty much shitty, without pools and toddlers which in my opinion are a MUST in The Sims. I just hope they add it later in a patch or so, but for now The Sims 4 is a no-no for me.

If anything means "something that makes it a competent sequel," then no it doesn't. Yeah I mentioned it some time ago, complete with a list of all the useless features they removed.
Quote
Things Missing/Downgraded in TS4: No Create-A-Style (added in vanilla TS3) No Toddler life stage (added in vanilla TS2) No pools (there since vanilla TS1) No 64-bit client (not a "removal", but a complete lack of future proofing) No open world (added in vanilla TS3), small districts instead Heavily nerfed story progression (added in vanilla TS3) Loading times back: at least 30 seconds No terrain editing No Store lots (added in Vanilla TS2) No Work lots (added in Vanilla TS3) No School lots (added in Vanilla TS3)
They'll totally add all of these things in a later patch/update/rerelase/etc (things that kinda should've been in this game).
That said, there won't be a sims 5 if this doesn't sell. (http://www.pcgamer.com/2014/09/08/sims-4-developer-warns-there-wont-be-a-sims-5-if-this-one-doesnt-sell/)

I love anime inspired models but but these don't look very good (considering the platform). Some of the polys stick out pretty badly and the textures aren't exactly sharp either. Lack of anti-aliasing doesn't help any.

It's funny because people doesn't complain about the system, they complain about how "linear" de game was. It's true, the dungeons were linear, but after certain part on the game you return to the free roaming formual.

You can get the game for around 11 dollars right now if you go to Green Man Gaming, create a NEW account there and wait for your 23% off voucher to arrive to that account's email before purchasing it.
Furthermore, if you use GMG regularly (Or at least have a main account you plan to keep using once in a while, doesn't really matter though) you can create that new account using a referral link from your main GMG account and get 2 dollars of GMG credit after preordering FF XIII with your alt account.
Actually BOTH your main and alt accounts will get 2 dollars of credit after the preorder is done, effectively decreasing this game's price all the way down to 7 bucks if you take advantage of both accounts' GMG credit in the future. I really should create an account at the Cheap Ass Gamers' forum already :P

From what I recall, they don't really need to "port" anything because the engine was made with the PC version in mind as well. they just didn't release it until now because they thought it wasn't the right time for that and that there was no market for them on the PC userbase. The port will most likely be of the same quality as DmC's PC port, which means it wont be a port at all.
Also there's no comparison between Namco and Square Enix when it comes to PC ports, Namco is far worse :P

They picked another studio than usual to do the game, and so far it got us character creation, original story, original villains, the races from DBHeroes (Majin, Namek and Freeza's race) and it gave new techniques to the characters (the last trailer shows new supers for Burta and Jeice). Not to mention it's finally doing the entire story at once rather than starting with the Freeza saga, then a sequel goes up to Cell, and another sequel adds the Buu saga, and finally the fourth game adds the movies, which was the usual formula of the previous studio every time a new console came up. This one has the whole deal at once (I'll bet even the movies will be in) Pick any one of these as a good reason to be excited.

Because of the release of that Steam music player, until 1st October you can download for free several game soundtracks and they will be linked to your account forever, even after the offer ends. You don't even need to install the games, just get them and you'll see them in the DLC section of your game (Right click -> Properties), and the next time you decide to install those games they will appear in your game's folder for you to grab. The games you can get a free soundtrack are:
- Half-Life - Half-Life 2, Episode 1 and Episode 2 - Portal 1 and 2. - Free to play, some movie that you can find in Steam to download.
If you liked any of these games (or movie) soundtracks, go get them before they disappear or you have to pay for them.

WWE 2K15 interview with IGN (http://www.ign.com/articles/2014/09/30/wwe-2k15-hands-on-with-mycareer-mode)
Quote
Over a long enough period of time, winning every match might be enough to get you over, but even a loss can be great for your career, because each match you compete in is rated on things like move variety, memorable moments, back-and-forth momentum swings, and overall drama. So, you're good enough at the game's mechanics to squash John Cena in two minutes flat using the same move over and over? That's nice. My 15-minute long loss where we both kicked out of multiple finishers at the 2.9999 count is the match fans want to see though, so expect me to land on a PPV card well before you.
Maybe the coolest feature of MyCareer though, is that there are storylines that incorporate the CAWs of people on your friends list. You can opt out, but if you don't, you may be suddenly attacked by a friend's wrassler under the CPU's control. It's a neat idea that keeps MyCareer feeling like a uniquely crafted story rather than a stock one.
So unrealistic, one cannot squash John Cena in 2 minutes. Sounds interesting; will consider picking it up if the gameplay is any semblance of good.

Looks like Alien Isolation is good and I'm going to get it. I was reading several reviews and I liked the fact that it has no scripted scare sequences, meaning you are in constant stress and fear. Plus, since it seems like the xenomorph behaves differently everytime you play the same sequence (more or less) theres no "I already know whats coming" factor.

Edit: I got a code for the Dragon Ball Xenoverse Network Test (PS3): RBCL-CLN4-TPF3 It can be used multiple times, but the limit for the test is 20 000 people, so act fast if you want to try it. You can redeem this code from your account management site (https://account.sonyentertainmentnetwork.com/), so having your PS3 near is not necessary.

So SAO gets a new game for PSVita and PS3, Sword Art Online Lost Song:
It's set in the world of ALO this time. Hopefully the game is more forgiving and less grinding, Hollow Fragment is about grinding, and unfortunately it's really slow, and it was repetitive in some parts too (and the translation was bad, but fortunately not as bad as games like Lux Pain). It was still a fun game IMO, so I hope the new world brings good changes.
I also see lots of comments in that website saying they wanted it for GGO, that ALO will suck. I want to say that they're wrong, that ALO is a great setting with lots of possibilities... but I know that people say that because they watched the anime that showed the ALO part, and I can't blame them. I read the novels so I have a better opinion of it, but I agree with them, the ALO segment was terrible if you only watched the anime.

The article is extense but reveals very little. The only part that's relevant is:
Quote
Square Enix filed a request for a confirmatory judgment of non-infringement against SNK Playmore [...] requesting the Osaka District Court to confirm that the manga does not violate SNK Playmore's copyrights.
The editor-in-chief of Square Enix's Monthly Big Gangan announced that the magazine will temporarily halt serialization of the manga, [and] voluntarily recalled all of the manga's print volumes and halted the sale of the manga's digital release. Square Enix emphasized that it has cooperated fully with the police's search and investigation, and will continue to do so.
So basically they requested a Judge to say they didn't infringe SNK's copyright. On what grounds? Hard to tell from the article.

Ubisoft believes that 30 FPS will soon be the industry standard. (http://www.techradar.com/news/gaming/viva-la-resoluci-n-assassin-s-creed-dev-thinks-industry-is-dropping-60-fps-standard-1268241) Response to Assassin's Creed: Unity being 900p/30fps (lol).
Quote
"At Ubisoft for a long time we wanted to push 60 fps. I don't think it was a good idea because you don't gain that much from 60 fps and it doesn't look like the real thing. It's a bit like The Hobbit movie, it looked really weird.
"And in other games it's the same - like the Rachet and Clank series [where it was dropped]. So I think collectively in the video game industry we're dropping that standard because it's hard to achieve, it's twice as hard as 30fps, and its not really that great in terms of rendering quality of the picture and the image."
So graphics over gameplay, cool I guess. Another average video game coming to your nearest retailer.
Quote
Alex Amancio, the game's Creative Director, reiterated this point: "30 was our goal, it feels more cinematic. 60 is really good for a shooter, action adventure not so much. It actually feels better for people when it's at that 30fps. It also lets us push the limits of everything to the maximum.
"It's like when people start asking about resolution. Is it the number of the quality of the pixels that you want? If the game looks gorgeous, who cares about the number?"
Well, at least he acknowledged that 60 is good for some games.

The worst part is, they blame hardware limitations and then bring it to PC with the same framerate cap, or with a highly unstable framerate. Even though their games are developed for shit that's as powerful as a dual core.

I don't really care about the "filmic look" part; people want their cinematic games let them (feel sorry for them though). They're seriously trying to advertise blatant fallacies (30 feels better my ass), not that I'd expect better from Ubisoft or anything.
That's not even getting to the part about it being 900p as well. Inexcusable for a "next-gen" (current gen, whatever) game to fail on reaching one of the two ideals.

but Bethesda has today announced that it’ll be locked at 30 frames per second - though you’ll be able to configure these manually at your own risk.
And THIS is why you wont see me paying SIXTY dollars PLUS A SEASON PASS for an inferior product when there are so many other developers who actually give a shit about the PC crowd and give us options that were actually tested beforehand. This worked sooooooooo well for RE4! (Hint, no it didn't, game runs like shit when you set it to 60 FPS mode). This worked so well for Dead Rising 3! (Ewwwww).

It looks choppy as fuck on PC and it's an obvious limitation from consoles brought to PC for no reason at all. Even worse if you have a 120/144hz monitor, the input lag is abysmal and it looks awful. It feels BAD.
The game demands far more RAM, VRAM and other requirement just so it can provide an underwhelming 30 frames per second (And we don't even know if it will run fine at all, knowing how weird the engine they're using is, which BTW it's an engine made to be run at 60 FPS, they literally went out of their way to halve the framerate!).
I'm sorry that you can't see the difference between 30 and 60 FPS, or maybe you can and don't give a crap. But in any case, it's 2014, games shouldn't be developed with a framecap anymore when ported to PC! If there's a reason to add a frame cap on PC, that means you're CODING YOUR GAME WRONG to begin with!

Of course some games would actually benefit from higher frames per second like Racing Games and Fighting Games (Tekken) but Games in which story telling is a main part would do better with the 30FPS Standard.
Heh my 2 genres of preference, explains why I have such an aversion to 30fps.
Most fans probably don't care, certainly not the ones who don't read message boards and whatever. If they want a game that looks like a movie (even if it means a compromise in gameplay), then they don't have a reason to care really. The idea that other devs should follow suit and that less frames "feels better" than more (lmao), yeah not quite.

You realize you're the only one who's been saying anything about PC in this whole story ? Also, no one gives a shit if you don't like it but the PC port is first and foremost a PORT. If it was made as a PC game, that was then ported to console, then you'd have some ground for complaint. But this is not the case. It's originally a game made for CONSOLES, and they're nice enough to make it work on PC. Don't bring your PC master race argument in it. Finally, you're just making assumptions with your "we don't even know if it will run fine at 30 fps anyway". Come back when the game is actually out and you've played it on a console.
Other than that I agree with Niitris. Fucking forum slowdowns

Omitting it? That was exactly why I mentioned RE4 nad DR3! They're just allowing you to set the framecap to 60, you know, the NATIVE framecap of the engine, they're literally doing NOTHING here, just allow you to switch the stupid variable, which can be done even if the devs don't want to. They're not doing us any favors.
The part where an unlocked FPS can actually ruin the game is what is wrong with the game to begin with. It's like tying your game speed to your CPU like in the 90's. That shit with the FPS being tied somehow to the game's coding all around just needs to disappear by now.

This is like asking me to believe that Necrostorm's next game is going to be a good game rather than something similar to Death Cargo. It's freaking Ubisoft, of course the FPS will never be consistent. Just look at the games they released in the past 5 years. Look at how much the tremendous delay Watch_Dogs had helped to the quality of that game. If anything I'm entitled to doubt that they'll deliver this time after so much failure.

So... you're still the only one talking about PC.

Don't care about your response on your expectations of the consistency of the framerate because... it's just your expectations.

The argument started in the first place because he was ranting about it when nobody wanted to discuss it, and if one person tried to make a post saying the opposite of what he was saying, he would latch on it and twist it into a different point to fit his argument.

... Video games don't work that way, they're not keeping it at 30 fps because of all which you mentioned (which is also funny since The Evil Within looks like a 2007 game and any crappy PC should be able to run it at really high fps). Let me explain it for you in simple terms, some Japanese developers tie the animation frames and the game framerate together, so the framerate going higher than the speed of the animation frames makes the game run faster than intended, which is why they limit it to 30 fps. It shouldn't work that way, animation must not be tied to the framerate. It's wrong practice with Japanese game devs and they need to get with the times.

I think you're describing stuff from the old PAL vs NTSC, 50 vs 60 Hz issues, which are indeed from old generations of consoles. You realize that if you are correct, it means that games (from Japan) that CAN run at either 30 or 60 fps must have double the number of animations, one for each version. And games that don't offer this feature but can be hacked into it will run with all animations playing faster. But what actually happens is lag and display errors when you move around too fast.

Post by: DKDC on October 14, 2014, 05:54:08 pm
what you see here are damage values and animation being sped up at 60 fps.
What I'm seeing is that the framerate is not tied to the animation. The animation is tied to the framerate, so an animation that lasts 30 ticks takes 1 second at 30 fps and half a second at 60 fps, much like what we see in Mugen. but that's a side effect, and it's a limit on the animation by the framerate, not on the framerate by the animation. They don't make things 30 fps because they're limited by the animation, they make the animation fit 30 fps because they're calculating everything on the basis of 30 fps. Which probably explains the double damage thing. I think you're mixing up the cause and effect relationship when you claim that they tie the animation to the framerate and say it's a thing from the past. Like I said, the processing power changes depending on the framerate you use, 30 fps will be less of a strain. Ergo, it's obvious they'll make the animation fit that framerate : because 60 fps is too much of a strain anyway, the real time effects and calculating everything it has to display will get fucked up, so they don't account for that setting. That's why forcing a 60 fps display of something made for 30 fps doesn't actually make it smoother. If it was actually made to calculate at 60 fps, the game would slow down, and all you'll get is a very smooth, massive slowdown. That doesn't ring any bell to you ? Have you never seen a game start slowing down a lot, with all the animations looking very smooth, but very slow ? You see that often on consoles. Hell, I'm seeing a lot of it on Hyrule Warriors right now (and not all of them are made that way to look cool). And it happens because the game has too much effects and objects and shit to display at once, too many times in one second. The "tying the framerate to animations" thing you point your finger at is not the cause of anything. It's a workaround, it's a result of the limitations they have. And it certainly doesn't indicate bad coding.

some Japanese developers tie the animation frames and the game framerate together, so the framerate going higher than the speed of the animation frames makes the game run faster than intended
Quote
It shouldn't work that way, animation must not be tied to the framerate. It's wrong practice with Japanese game devs and they need to get with the times.
do you need glasses
What I need is to get what the point of that comment was. It won't do any good to unlock the framerate of a game that will still calculate everything at the rhythm of 30 fps, even if you have a smooth display of 60 fps. Like I just said, if you display at 60 fps something that isn't intended to run at that speed, what you'll get is very smooth but very slow animations because the processing power will take a hit, or some fails in the effects because the processing power will fail altogether. And the thing is that even if you have a top of the class computer, the game may still be coded to not calculate things faster than the limit (regardless of the animations), and your super computer won't do any good. The reason for that is simply that no, they're not going to recode the entire thing from the grounds up to make it work on PC. Like I was saying at the very beginning, it's done for consoles, and the PC version is a port that they don't want to redo from the beginning. They're just porting it as it is, with the same limitations as the consoles, because they don't want to recode everything. That's why there's no sense in complaining about the "framerate tied to the animation" being a thing of the past. It's not a thing of the past, it's something they still do on consoles, and they simply don't recode everything when they put it on PC.
yah, the technique of keeping the logic and the drawing as separate functions has become pretty popular, so logic can be called at 60 fps and drawing can skip frames to let's say 30 fps.
Isn't that exactly what Smash 3DS does with Olimar's Pikmins?
I think they use that on Tekken (in Tag 2 they change the framerate when tag partners are jumping in and out), but how well does that work on a massive game like what Assassin's Creed Unity is going to be ? edit - wait, no, I think Tekken Tag 2 was the resolution... but that's the same issue, lower resolution = less processing power required for each frame for a constant framerate when there's more stuff and real time effects to display.

Post by: -Red- on October 14, 2014, 07:12:19 pm
It is a thing of the past. Most of the games that still tie their animations to framerate come from Japan, the country that gives less fucks about PC settings so it's not surprising that they're behind with the times. It's exactly the same thing as the example I gave pages ago where devs used to tie your framerate to your CPU speed (That what the TURBO button in old PCs was for, to sync your CPU speed with older software).
In the case of The Evil Within, the main mistake was to pick the idtech5 engine, years ago. KOD predicted every single issue the game was going to have a few days before it was released because he played Wolfestein and knows about RAGE and other games using the same engine. Developers can do whatever they want, but they'll get flak the more the monitors evolve with time and the more they stay behind. Many people already demand 120 FPS (Or rather unlimited) and 4K resolution as standard available settings, and things with only get worse unless they get on with the times. And they're right, because unless they talk about these arbitrary limits, nobody's going to do shit to get rid of them. This is why Dark Souls 2 is a better game than it was going to be (And even then they have some weird shit going on with their animations anyway, sigh).
About TTT2, it actually uses clever resolution changes midgame to try to keep the 60 FPS speed during tag throws and other team techniques where you're not exactly playing but more like watching a cutscene. It does exactly the opposite, Harada actually tried to avoid FPS drops whatsoever.
And about Assassin's Creed? It definitely can use the divided FPS/animation logic as long as the engine is not shit, especially on PC. That's the reason why we have so many UE games with unlimited FPS as an available setting after all. And Unity is not even going to be the best looking game of the year anyway.

Post by: DKDC on October 14, 2014, 07:19:58 pm
Oh, so it's all about PC master race after all. The PC can do all of this without a drop on the FPS, so every games on every consoles should do it this way, and it's a heresy if they don't - even if the consoles still have the same limits that make those workarounds an easy fix (lowering the resolution is only another one of those workarounds). Congratulation, you've bashed a discussion hard enough to diverge it away from consoles and force it to be about illegitimate PC restrictions when you were the only one who cared to argue about it. Just by ranting and raving about it long enough.

The character regularly goes off on rambling rants that make him seem like a lunatic, pretty much everything he says is some super edgy joke or some over-the-top, ridiculous quip. I don't see why this particular line is so offensive.

I understand all the hate towards SJW because yeah, they ARE unbearable and the internet would be a better place without them, but complaining about Torgue saying something SJW-ish dumb and think that dialogue is there to actually defend SJWs is pretty uninformed when Torgue is never serious and IS supposed to be taken like a joke character... well like pretty much every BL character.
You can say that particular joke is cringe-worthy, sure, but ruling out the entire game because of Torgue? Eeeeeeehhhhhh... guess you guys have a huge library with other games anyway, feel free to play something less risky where all the characters think exactly like you, or don't even talk :sombrero:

EDIT: You've gotta be fuckin kidding me. http://www.destructoid.com/anita-sarkeesian-talk-cancelled-following-death-threats-update--282553.phtml
Quote
The event has been called off, Utah State University has announced. Sarkeesian confirmed she was "forced to cancel [her] talk at USU after receiving death threats because police wouldn't take steps to prevent concealed firearms at the event."
Utah State University received an anonymous threat today advising the school to cancel a speaking event featuring Anita Sarkeesian, the pop culture critic behind Feminist Frequency and the Tropes vs. Women in Video Games series, or risk "the deadliest school shooting in American history," the Standard Examiner reports.
"If you do not cancel her talk, a Montreal Massacre style attack will be carried out against attendees, as well as students and staff at the nearby Women's Center," reads the sinister email. The anonymous author claims to be a student at the university, and wishes to take revenge on feminists for supposedly ruining his life.
"I have at my disposal a semi-automatic rifle, multiple pistols, and a collection of pipe bombs," the message continues. "You might be foolish enough to just beef up security at the event, but that won't save you ... One way or another, I'm going to make sure they die."

How did you not pick up on this?
How is that honestly that much different than what I stated? It's trying to play cultural criticism that will just piss people off without knowing what in the world the word means and even if they do, it's still a dumb way to add it into the game.
This isn't the Telltale game (as if it isn't obvious by the fact that it's a screenshot of a FPS). The rest of your post is just pure comedy if you're aware of this.
But that's Borderlands The Pre-sequel isn't it? Isn't that one made by Telltale games chronicling Handsome Jack before he went mad?

While I'm certainly happy that we get a new Tag Force Yu-Gi-Oh! game (because the DS and 3DS series suck, and I like the Tag system and the fact that you can use some of the anime cards if you want) I don't understand why it has to be for PSP. Then again, I don't know how popular the game is in Japan or if the PSP system is enough to make it run all the features it needs.
In my case, I would have preferred a PSVita version which would have allowed for more things that the PSP can't offer, for example the Touch screen, which is one of the few cases in which I would really like such feature in a game (it's one of the few things I like in the DS/3DS series).

Awesome. Steam is a hell of a lot easier downloading from than PSN.
According to Alex Hutchinson, who was the creative director on 2012's Assassin's Creed III, an Assassin's Creed game set in feudal Japan might feel too familiar. In an interview with Total Xbox, Hutchinson said the setting sets up well from a design perspective, but explained that the ninja/samurai vibe has already been well-established in other games and Ubisoft would rather reach out and do something altogether new.

It was recently clarified that you don't have to buy the $50 season pass to get the extra feature.
Quote
Just got off the phone with Activision PR. They have a full statement about Zombies below, but a main point they want to emphasize is that Zombies does not require GameStop’s $50 season pass DLC, even if that’s what the announcement seemed to be implying. That’s what I figured was the case, and the Zombies mode will indeed be sold separately as standalone, unpackaged DLC some time next year, and it was nothing cut from the core game. They also stressed that this is Sledgehammer’s take on Zombies, and fans probably shouldn’t expect a clone of exactly the same style of play a-la-Treyarch

unlike little bastards, or sadly, umineko, higurashi has got a lot of side stories made for different ports and new stories keep on getting added to it, so the newest version can be pretty definite (iir for this port new arcs were mentioned).
afaik, the pachinko game got two or three new arcs that are not playable outside fo them, ther eis also teh "zombie" arc which might or nto be part of the pachinko ones.

I wonder if they have an extra challenge mode, like a Master's Quest.
Out of curiousity, will they be able to alter the dungeons by a lot? All four dungeons are pretty complex and it is not easy to alter them without ruining their main gimmicks.

In the Ocarina of Time 3D, there is a Master Quest mode where the world is mirrored, enemies do double damage, and the dungeons are altered for greater difficulty. For example, the new Deku Tree dungeon features the giant deku babas that you face in the Forest Temple.
Those things nearly killed me.

Master Quest doesn't come from OoT 3D, it came with Wind Waker (in a limited print bonus and then it was repackaged a couple of times, I think, like the compilation on Gamecube). It was pretty rare : it was supposed to come out for the 64DD but that tanked way too fast and they gave up. OoT 3D simply gave both versions. (though it seems the mirroring was exclusive to the OoT3D version of Master Quest, I don't remember that particular detail) After looking around, it seems like OoT 3D had nearly nothing but minor changes. MM3D is very likely going to be similar, just some texture enhancements and added depth.

Rather than letting Pikachu guy explain, here's a website:
One thing they don't mention is that the menu interface is more user friendly. It's so much easier to equip items now compared to how it was in the console version, and the menu is far better organized. Also, aiming can be done manually with the motion track system of the 3DS too, apart from the usual control of the camera with the stick. This makes aiming objects that are close to each other much much easier, but aiming to objects that are separated by a large distance is terrible with it. Fortunately you can still aim with the stick for those, so it's a matter of knowing which one to use at which moment. So IMO shooting in first person is much much easier.
But as you can see, apart from the Boss Challenge mode, there's really nothing special added, which tends to be common in ports (Tales of Abyss is another example of that). Still, there's nothing bad about this port IMO, and being able to play Ocarina of Time anywhere is something I really appreciate.
Though I have to say, Navi is even more annoying in this version because of the constant "You need to take a break Link!" constant messages. Wish I could disable them.

Yeah the not-so-subtle Nintendo trying to look out for me crap though Navi was just silly. I was also disappointed with the censorship even if it made Ganondorf a Slimer from Ghost Busters. Other than that it's a great port.

Interview with devs on the new Godzilla game. (http://www.scified.com/site/godzillamovies/new-godzilla-ps3-game-details-notes--sequel-plans-leaked---bagan-teased)
Quote
-Sequels are currently on the table from how high preorder sales are, if Godzilla-Godzilla does well, they'll dive into green-light for 2015 production.
-Due to noticeable demand, the developers have entertained the thought of a Godzilla fighting game. If they were to do one, they would emulate the Godzilla films and Tokusatsu effects. But remain in the realm of traditional fighting games like Godzilla: Destroy All Monsters(SNES) or the Ultraman Fighting Evolution series.
-A PS4 Godzilla game has been talked about, they know fans have been wanting one so it's something they are looking into. But they want to see how well their current Godzilla games does on the market.
-Xbox One and Wii-U aren't consoles who welcome a Godzilla game unlike PlayStation, in which games on PS are openly accepted and can thrive on their own footing. They don't have to be shooters or a party-game for people to notice. Plus majority of our audiences are on PlayStation, so if we produce anymore Godzilla games, they'll be on PlayStation only. Of course ports are still a possibility if the demand spurs strongly from other console communities.
The would would benefit from more Godzilla. Shame about what they said in regards to the Xbox One and Wii U, especially since they are indeed wrong about the former.

I know, like, so many questions!
The Article said:
So if a Toad -- a sentient anthropomorphic toadstool mushroom – eats one of Mario World’s popular and versatile mushrooms to become bigger or gain an extra life... is it cannibalism?
While Toads may be mushroom-like, it’s unclear just how closely related to mushrooms they are.

Quote
DerpTrolling, the hacker group that claimed responsibility for a DDoS attack on Blizzard's servers over the weekend, has released a log of customer logins across the PlayStation Network, 2K Game Studios and Windows Live.
"Dear Internet," the Pastebin document reads, "The following is a very small portion of Lord Gaben and the rest of his crew's glorious raids across the high seas of the Internet."
The group hopes that, by leaking the customer credentials, it will force companies to upgrade their servers to prevent DDoS and data hacks, resulting in better customer service. And, although the leak isn't large in the grand scheme of things, the DerpTrolling member said that the group has much more data that it didn't leak.
"We have 800,000 from 2K and 500,000 credit card data. In all of our raids we have a total of around 7 million usernames and passwords," he said. "We have around 2 million Comcast accounts, 620,000 Twitter accounts, 1.2 million credentials belonging to the CIA domain, 200,000 Windows Live accounts, 3 million Facebook, 1.7 million EA origins accounts, etc."

sadly the snkp overall worth is less than what it cost squenix to make a non-mobile game; so a buyout is most likely to happen, I assume the manga branch is being left to sovle this problem on their own because fo reasons and that is why they have not bought snkp yet.

So, do you remember the new face-mapping feature implemented in WWE 2K15? If you’re Photoshop-savvy, you can put just about anyone in the game… anyone, that is, except Chris Benoit. Via Reddit, we’re just now learning that using Benoit’s face and sharing your new, custom Rabid Wolverine is a ban-worthy offense. Here’s the tweet exchange between a banned gamer and Marcus Stephenson, 2K Games’ community manager for WWE 2K15.
......In the meantime, the Reddit community is pointing out just how disconnected this feels, citing facts such as…
* You can totally have your custom wrestler introduced as “The Rabid Wolverine” * Benoit’s matches are still on the WWE Network, although you can’t search for his name * “I’ve seen face uploads of Hitler [in the game]. Chris Benoit is literally worse than Hitler.”
Also, Godzilla is coming to the PS4 and the US. (http://www.ign.com/articles/2014/12/05/godzilla-the-game-coming-summer-2015)

I wonder if one could put a mask on a Benoit CAW to hide the face and put the creation under an alias say"The Disgraced Canadian" to share him online with WWE/2k being none the wiser....eh probably not.

For anyone that follows anything about Shin Megami Tensei games,the new Devil Survivor 2 Break Record on the 3ds will feature Durarara!! characters as bosse(or allies,depending on the route) I don't really see how that will work,with DSOs setting and all,but its cool.

Devil Survivor 2: Break Record From a quick search, it looks like they're guest demon cameos. That sounds pretty cool. Guest characters are pretty interesting when they cameo in games. Any chances they'll stay in the game when it gets localized?

They're obviously going to be guest/cameo characters, Devil Survivor 2 world is completely different from Durarara!! world.
I honestly gave up on seeing this game released. This was supposed to have come out a year ago (or even more, can't remember), but suddenly disappeared from the radar. I was really surprised when they started to show all of those trailers. My expectations are not really high atm, specially because I can't understand why this game would be delayed for an entire year. Hopefully the content of the new story justifies that.
Btw, needs to be noted. Miyako Hotsuin voice is SEXY. That's all. Really hope this gets imported to Europe with proper English voices.

The good news is that Heroes of Might & Magic III HD Edition will also include an online multiplayer lobby, where players will be able to share their experience with the community.
According to Ubisoft, the game will include 7 campaign scenarios, about 50 skirmish maps and a map editor, as well as a local multiplayer mode.
I'm not sure if I understand this. Does that mean we will be able to play online against others (not just local), or that we will only have a lobby to talk with each other? I'm a bit confused with those statements.

Variety reports that SEGA has begun planning the development of classic and modern video game franchises for film and television. SEGA has tapped Break Media executive Evan Cholfin to lead the efforts at Tokyo-based Stories International, a joint venture between SEGA and Hakuhodo DY Group launched in 2011.
The first titles SEGA plans to move forward with are “Altered Beast,” “Streets of Rage,” “Shinobi,” “Rise of Nightmares” and “Crazy Taxi”. Plans are for English-language live action and animated spinoffs. “Virtua Fighter” and “Golden Axe” are also being considered.
With the news of a joint venture with Sony Pictures to produce a Sonic the Hedgehog movie, SEGA will have a big presence in Hollywood in the coming years!

Minecraft: Story Mode is a thing that's happening.
Mojang has joined forces with Telltale Games, the team behind fine adventure games like The Walking Dead, to forge a narrative-driven episodic experience. Yes, they're working on an original story "set in the world of Minecraft." A story. Minecraft. Telltale. This is all so strange.
Minecraft: Story Mode is expected to make its debut sometime next year on Xbox consoles, PC, Mac, and mobile devices. It's also coming to PlayStation systems, which makes a lot of sense until you remember Microsoft just purchased Mojang for a cool $2.5 billion.
Goddamit Telltale how do you have time for this on top of everything else? Or at least how do you have time for this and not for Sam and Max season 4?
Title: Re: gaming news that don't deserve their own thread
Post by: Seadragon77 on December 19, 2014, 05:54:17 am
I didn't know that Minecraft had a story mode, let alone getting one done by freaking Telltale.
Let's see... this, Game of Thrones, The Walking Dead, The Wolf Among Us (which I'd love to see a Season 2 of that), Tales from the Borderlands... they have a very full plate there. Sam and Max might be the single farthest thing on their minds right now.

I never had terrible experiences with XIII on Steam except for that one time I was playing machinaweapon, but that's it. With the beta, netcode feels about as good as 96 on PSN does, which is pretty on par with SF4.
