http://kotaku.com/5042341/gothic-lolita-shooter-death-smiles-getting-xbox-360-version

spring 2009 new shooter coming to XBLA. but not sure if it's Japan only, wouldn't make
sense to isolate its potential sales only in Japan marketplace. Im sure it will be available for
USA GTs too.

Castle Crashers is out, but it really don't hold a candle to Guardian Heroes.

oh ya and the Warriors Orochi 2 trailers is on marketplace! its so good on TV, I replayed it a bunch of times. :)

[Outrider]

So a company that cares all about production values and not about gameplay is going to take over a company that has no artistry but cares only about gameplay.

I'd say something about how maybe this could mean the best of both worlds, but we all know it's just going to mean we'll get five crappy DOA games a year instead of one.

[Saner]

Perverted insanity.

XD


well I don't think DOA games will turn RPG-like but I'm sure they'll continue the franchises
in some ways, while staying away from turn-based stuff.

[Saner]

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q2GdZXNfvz4

it seems pretty intense! The developers has stated they are aiming to make
a combat system that's on par with DMC and other stylish games. so between the blade combat,
beast combat, and magic, it looks like they have a potential champion in their hands. ^^

:burger:


edit: grrrr why can't we edit title typos. >_>

[Split]

castle crashers = PURE FIRE

[Darkly]

the thing is, golden axe beast rider looks good to me, but a lack of any multiplayer etc. may make it suffer the same fate as sega rally.

[Saner]

well I whined about DMC4, Ninja Gaiden Black and 2 not having more playable characters, or co-op, but they hold their own in what they offer. :)

Half-Life originally didnt have multiplayer either but it was a incredible adventure.

I dunno, it might be at least worth a rental.

[Darkly]

as long as it has a good bit of depth like dmc4 and gaidens, it will probably buy it, but if its too arcadey still i might just rent it aswell.

[Shadowpawn]

Castle Crashers = Guardian Heroes


It's true, it looks and plays almost like THE GREATEST GAME EVAR!!!? Seriously, compare the two:



http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pB_9wutDgi0


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LMCpw4-hI6g

[Kent]

I would say that, at the very least, Castle Crashers draws heavy, heavy influence from Guardian Heroes... But there are some aspects of gameplay that are fundamentally different.

Of course, it's still a fantastic game, despite that it freezes up all the time when you have more than two people playing.

[Saner]

http://www.the-magicbox.com/0809/game080903b.shtml

reminds me of the movie Cyborg, except the only similiarity is that a cyborg is somehow involved. :p

hmmmm. Sega needs to choose a better team to develop a true Shining Force game.
the last good ones were 1,2, CD. never played the SF3 series. but for US they should
just skip those an make a next-gen Shining Force IV :p

[SpikeOtacon]

hmmmm. Sega needs to choose a better team to develop a true Shining Force game.


i.e.: Not a SEGA team. They'll ruin it somehow.

[TalHex]

namco or tri-ace? they generally do a pretty good job

[Saner]

sigh, I'm not liking what Tri-Ace has been doing lately. I'm not even sure if Star Ocean 4
will be as great as SO2. (SO3 improved somethings but SO2 still is the grand master of them all.)

[Saner]

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w34F_ZUMpZ4

quite shocking, no battle samples yet of Kefka in action, though. but near the end, the fire screen, you can see
about 10 silouettes of the villains. the others are definitely Golbez (or Zemus?), and ExDeath


also it shows quick samples of what the chess-board like progression works (think super smash bros trophy characters, but on a gameboard.)

also this confirms alternate costumes.

Squall's SeeD uniform:

[Sord]

i tried playing shining force on the genesis as a kid, didn't like it. May have been what turned me off to turn based.

[Monochrome]

epic epic epic!

[Larian]

Ohhhhh...

[AlexCraig]

Heh, awesome. About time. Was wondering when Exdeath and Kefka would be seen. That big fiery thing reminds me of Chaos.

[Larian]

Woah hello!! WTF is my problem not knowing about this...Bet then again who can blame me after loosing all hope after Shining Force NEO and praying for the day Shining Wind become within my grasp! It looks like it might have some elements similar to that of Phantom Brave. The story sounds very old school as well...I approve! =D <3

[TalHex]

sigh, I'm not liking what Tri-Ace has been doing lately. I'm not even sure if Star Ocean 4
will be as great as SO2. (SO3 improved somethings but SO2 still is the grand master of them all.)

aye but tri-ace has done other good games then star ocean, like valkyrie profile

[Randomness]

Gilgamesh SO needs to be thrown in there, just because he's the only boss to show up in multiple titles.

[Shadowpawn]

Heh, awesome. About time. Was wondering when Exdeath and Kefka would be seen. That big fiery thing reminds me of Chaos.


It is Chaos.

[AlexCraig]

Well... good.

And yes, Gilgamesh needs to be thrown in. Not so much as a baddie, but as part comic relief, part baddie, part hero. And he must live in the end. (Possibly my favorite FF character of all)

[CelestialBlade]

On the Golbez vs. Zemus thing, they'll probably choose Golbez over Zemus. And I absolutely agree that we need some friggin Gilgamesh up in here.

And Vayne, because he's hot.

[Powder Keg]

Ultemecia + Squall, huh? Laguna and Seifer better be present...

Good to see Kefka, since he's my all time favorite villain.

*punches Zidane in the mouth* ...I'd take Blank over him.

[Zarode]

Er,

I guess this looks cool. Sorta. :disapprove: Looks like a giant FF Fan's wet dream, though...

[AlexCraig]

There had better be a good backstory to it, though. Not thrown together JUST to see FF characters/villians duke it out.

[Shadowpawn]

You don't want another smash bros? :disapprove:

[Ethateral]

I'm just glad I would be able to see Kuja again (And he has a voice!)~ <3 I was always a fan of him since I was a wee little lass and played FFIX religiously.

[Saner]

well they are going downhill with the VP series with what they're doing with the 3rd game being released to portable and the protagonist isn't even a Valkyrie...... they extremely
betray the roots of the franchise, but their little brains are too limited to realize there are
infinite good ways to make new Valkyrie Profile and still have the main characters as
one of the 3 Valkyries (especially Hrist, she needs her own game that's not butchered like VP2, well VP2 is sort of an exception but next time if Silmeria
is the central role, it shouldn't be some princess stealing the spotlight. :p )

[Saner]

the story will be deep and question the VERY FABRIC OF THEIR EXISTENCE!!!!!

I mean look at this dialogue!

Garland: Cosmos and Chaos are fated to continue their mutual war. If they continue their eternal battle, there will be no relief - no future.

Emperor: The Goddess governing order, Cosmos... do you believe there is merit in such a being?

Kuja: What a pity. After all, you are just pawns in the God's Game.

Ultimecia: And nevertheless, you put your faith in Cosmos. In the battle for the crystals, you will see. Cosmos' true form is a Goddess of Death who reveals in your struggle.

Warrior of Light Vs Garland

Garland: There can never be an understanding between us, so I accept my fate to fight forever!
Warrior: It is fate, that this ends here!
Garland: In that case, let's end it!

Squall Vs Ultimecia

Ultimecia: Everything is deception, even your life.
Squall: Your power may be manipulating time, but I will still crush you!

Onion Knight Vs The Cloud of Darkness

CoD: Since I have awakened I have been waiting, simply for dispair.
Onion: I won't let you destroy anything!
Onion: Because I found it, the power that will save everyone!

Discussion between Firion and Zidane

Firion: Slowly it dawned on me, I had found the treasure I was searching for.
Zidane: And was it a princess?
Firion: The Wild Rose. I dedicated everything to it.

Tidus talking with Squall

Tidus: And then I met up with you all and that was that.
Tidus So that is my story...
Squall: They left you behind.

The Cloud of Darkness and Kefka

CoD: Why can't I destroy it?
CoD: It's just a fragile living thing.
Kefka: Play carefully now...
Kefka: She is an important friend of mine.

Sephiroth before a fight

Sephiroth: The despair you desire, shall I give it to you?
Sephiroth: After all, you are a puppet.

Firion Vs The Emperor

Emperor: Cast off your delusions, and accept my rule.
Firion: (Rough) I won't give up my life's dream!
Firion: Believe in the future, transcend the present, that's all there is!

Zidane Vs Kuja

Zidane: What annoying music!
Kuja: It's only the first movement.
Zidane: I gotcha - 'cause this is the climax!

Squall Vs The Warrior of Light

Squall: We're supposed to be fighting to protect the crystals.
Squall: But if that's useless, then what is the truth!? Answer me!
Warrior: (rough) It would mean fighting against a new despair... do you still want to know?

Kuja Vs. Grland

Kuja: I'm drowning in the plan?
Kuja: When nothing affects you, you despise nothing.
Garland: It's the endless cycle!
(sorry, I really don't know what was going on in that scene)

Tidus Vs. Jecht

Jecht: Let's make this quick.
Tidus: You deceived me! If you don't cross over, then tomorrow will never come!
Jecht: So obstinate. Who does that remind me of?
Tidus: That settles it!

A meeting of the Warriors of Chaos

Ultimecia: The time has come, all will come to fruition... in the final battle to the death.　
Emperor: We will finally have the total destruction of that willful God.

[Ranmaru]

Also Bartz should be thrown in, maybe ceres, and others I can't seem to remember. :/ haha, this is so fucking awesome. :3

[Outrider]

Kefka?

Oh snap. Now THAT is worth taking notice.

PLUS:

Christ, I can't deal with the writing in Final Fantasy games. SQUARE-ENIX, HIRE SOME WRITERS WHO DIDN'T START OFF DOING FAN FICTION.

[Ranmaru]

Haha, what do you mean?

[Outrider]

Haha, what do you mean?

Look at the quotes posted above.

Look at most fan fiction.



IT IS THE SAME.


In a bad way.

http://kotaku.com/5045764/here-are-your-prinny-screens

This could be very interesting, for sure, dood. I mean like this stuff is looking great, imagine
if a Castlevania looked this sharp.

:burger:

[Saner]

so? lol. they are some of the deepest most meaningful thoughts in the universe~!!!! :)

it's BETTER than some dumb down dialogue like KH "there is light in darkness that never goes out. heartless. nobodies. EMOOO. birth by sleep. blah blah blah." :p


also Bartz is confirmed because they are adding the main hero from each FF.
Terra is confirmed too. as well as Cecil, Golbez and ExDeath.

^^

[Neith]

Terra's confirmed? Hell yes :lol:

I should probably take more notice of this game.

/me is Final Fantasy fanboy, I'm sorry everyone :disapprove:

Firionel - Emperor Paramecia

Seriously? That's better writing than Kingdom Hearts?

Saner, do me a favor.

Pick up a book. Not science fiction, not fantasy. It cannot be a genre book. It must be literature.

READ IT.

Then after that, make sure you look into the fact that not every story has to be targeted towards what teenagers think is cool.

Next you're going to start telling me how good God of War's story was.

I'm not saying Kingdom Hearts is Shakespeare, but considering they were going for something that would appeal to both Disney fans and Square fans, they did a pretty good job. (Though the second was quite a bit more nonsensical and melodramatic.)

[Mixfortune]

Camelot...

[TalHex]

nah camelot needs to get to work on GS3 and not mess around with another game

ya I'm not sure what this means, I heard rumors of an Arcana Heart SUGOI, but I'm
guessing it's a special or expanded version of Arcana Heart 2. but cause these two new
characters and two new Arcana (flower and phoenix) have never been seen before when
AH2 was released in arcades.

well Atlus really should bring this to USA! ^____^
I'm not sure how much AH1 sold on ps2 though. but I'm sure they'll manage. ^^

Since I also post on the Tekken boards, I'll post this here:

Tekken 6: Dark Rebellion Revealed! (http://sdtekken.com/2008/08/28/tekken-6-bloodline-rebellion-revealed/)

Just like Tekken 5's expansion, Dark Resurrection, Tekken 6 will be getting one too. While I knew there was going to be be one, I didn't expect it to happen this soon.

There's been many debates of the Playstation 3 version of T6, and there is a possibility of a huuuuuge delay because of this. T6:BR may be for the PS3 instead, with the original never being released. This is not confirmed, but is likely to happen

ALSO NEW Saints Row 2 news:

"These diversions include 35 'barnstorming' missions, 50 CDs to buy from music stores, 32 secret areas within the city to find, 80 stunt jumps, and 50 areas that you can tag up with paint cans. You can also drive an ambulance to save victims, put out fires as a fireman, pimp yourself out as a whore, tow vehicles for cash, and drive a taxicab. Not content to stop there, you can also perform drive-bys, flash people (trench coat and all), robbery, mugging, poker, racing, streaking, and even play a game called "Zombie Uprising" on your game console in your safe house."


http://www.incgamers.com/Games/1548/News/Saints-Row-2-Multiplayer-Details-Revealed/13749

Strong Arm MP mode

In Strong Arm mode, teams compete to earn money in one of several district-themed maps. Basic kills will earn you some cash, but the big money is made through performing activities (in the same way that you would in single player mode).

Strong Arm also features special "tag spots" which, when controlled, provide your team with special benfits like police support, unlimited sprint, increased damage etc.

"So teams will need to balance performing their own activities, disrupting the other team, and also fighting over tag spots", said Tsai. "There’s a lot of strategy and teamwork required for success in Strong Arm."

[ShinAnt]

So since this is an all purpose gaming thread. I guess their is no augment for discussion.

Played a a bit of The force Unleashed after work.

That game does a good job of covering up action with the not so next gen looks.
Unleashed plays like any other action game, though the "do anything" of force powers is kind of neat.
I've said this to myself since the demo, The game just.. doesn't look pretty. I guess (I'm) spoiled when it comes to looks.
I'm one to naysay at judging a game at its look.
It was cooky to play as ol' Vadar at the start of the game.

The game is nice, just not 60 bucks nice. Definitely a rent.

[ShinAnt]

Also I hear that the Wii version has some kind of Multi-play in it that the other versions miss out on.

Probably plays like a Updated version of Jedi Outcast or something...

[Sharkyland]

I'm looking forward to Compile Heart "Cross Edge" ^_^

Pretty damn sweet. Bryan's chaingun is badass.

Also, in other news. Sega isn't the only ones with a mystery game waiting to be announced, RPG developer, Level 5 ( that made Dark Cloud and DQVIII) also has a mystery game. Some people say Dark Cloud 3, and some think it's something completely new

[UnderscoreX]

The new guy looks like a Goku and Jin illegitimate love child. And that new Sega RPG is called 7th Dragon and it's for DS, but not much else is known about it other than the characters kinda look like Etrian Odyssey's.

this deserves it's own topic because this is major news!
For years no one thought it would come over here.

http://www.gamesarefun.com/news.php?newsid=9022

but what's messed up is that Final Mix+ is not coming.
but hey, at least CoM remake is coming. for a really long time, people who didn't
import only youtubed the videos and new improve cutscenes and everything.
so ya SE at least deserves credit for bringing this over here.
now if they only did the same for FFX-2 Last Mission. :p

especially for those who didn't want to waste money on a GBA to play CoM's inferior version.


on the downside though, CoM is known for it's lackluster card action system instead of
KH2's better battle system. but oh well, it sure beats fighting in 2-D like the gba version.
it's unlikely the USA version will pack any exclusive goodies, but who knows?
though since it's coming this December, there may be only time to translate it.

[Aisha379]

this deserves it's own topic because this is major news!

LOL, I don't get the fun of making countless topics, but whatever, cool thanks for the info Saner. :burger:

[Indica]

Ive always wanted to play the first 2 series. Kinda a bummer it's not designed for PS3

[Monochrome]

Hey! I knew they would eventually break down and release it! Bummer about Final Mix+ though. I mean, seems like a dream package right? They probably figure that at this point everyone who wants KH2 already has it and it might hurt sales of this release if packaged together, even with bonus materials in KH2.

Oh well. Guess I must pick up KH2 as is. I hope this is a budget release though.

edit: gosh, I never read the article first. It's $29.99... close enough.

[Rei-San]

Man, I'm glad that they decided to release the game in the US, but I think they missed the mark when they say they aren't releasing the original Final Mix. I'm not sure what to do here. I want Final Mix, so I might just buy that instead of the US version.... :-?


(Oh man, I don't know how to feel about this...) :(

[Nitro Vordex]

I'm so excited! The other KH were so awesome! I wish I had a PS2 though. :cry: *

*Note: I'm lying out my ass.

[Sord]

hmph hmph hmph, It's not like I'm posting a new topic everyday anyways. :p


ya'll wanna confine me to one thread each month. :p

make it every quarter year and we'll consider it

[Aisha379]

make it every quarter year and we'll consider it

I think what he meant to say was "every couplea years", not quarter year.

>_> <_<

[Sord]

I think what he meant to say was "every couplea years", not quarter year.

>_> <_<

on second thought maybe every couple of decades

tis like bidding backwards

[McLaughlin]

Well, as groundbreaking as this may be, I played this on my GBA many moons ago.

[Zekester]

Wow just the CoM? Lame.

Final Mix+ would deff get a good amount of money, if they made a US version.

Geez, all I want to do is fight the Organization members at there fullest. Is that too much to ask?

[Saner]

apparently, SE is being too cheap to bring FM+ as well.

[Saner]

oh >_> well you can check the weapon customization part where you upgrade um,
abilities or whatever it's called, and just go to the ability or whatever you wanna improve,
and it'll tell you if you have the treasure or not. Well I haven't tried choosing Tutorial yet

NEW RESIDENT EVIL 5 NEWS FROM EGM:::::


Section One: Chris Redfield(his section has
Japanese-->English info on him, several screens from REmake and CVX,
and one new image from RE5. His section takes up the whole page).

-Former STARS veteran. He disbanded S.T.A.R.S in 1998, and soon pursued a passion to bring down umbrella.
-You will learn what Chris has been doing these past 10 years
-You will learn who Chris really is. his character, his motives, etc
-You will learn of his relationships to characters spanning the series through/via flashbacks
-Chris
joined BSAA(Bioterrorism Security Assessment Alliance) , which was
created as a result of the Raccoon City incident, in 1998. Chris helped
establish BSAA, and the actual opening took place in 2000.

There
is total of 2 screens from REmake, and 3 from CVX. The one and only new
screen is from RE5 where he is on his one knee holding a green plant
extract, examining it carefully. The location is the Altar/Garden in
RE5 we have seen.

Page 2: BSAA(Bio-terrorism-Assessment-Alliance)
-Created as a result of raccon city incident
-Announced in 1998, officially opened in 2000
-Had
over 100 people that contributed to it's establishment, with Chris as
one of the leads, with many other corporation leaders.

-Regional
Biohazard Containment Unit was a branch of BSAA. That branch was
temporarily opened, run and closed by Redfield. It was only opened for
a project in 2003, which initiated to Russia (seen in Umbrella Chronicles).
RBCU is not effective anymore.

-BSAA has branches world-wide. The lead branch is in the United States, and top orders are executed from there.

On the top of the page is a picture of some kind of building in a modern city(US?). Maybe the BSAA HQ?)



Page 2: Characters:
-Chris Redfield, former STARS member, is given top priority orders to be sent into Africa and investigate.
-Sheva
Alomar, member of the West African branch of BSAA, Sheva gets held up
in the crisis in Africa, and soon unites with Chris to try to escape.

FireWorks
guy is NOT STEVE! His name is "Kralin". He had supported arms to an
agency in the area(BSAA?) before everything went into chaos. He now
co-ops with the BirdWoman to escape the city, but faces betrayal. At
the same time, he provides weapons to Chris and Sheva; similar to RE4's
merchant.

The Loudspeaker person is NOT the villager's leader.
He is just the richest guy in the village, and people tend to follow
him. He is the one paying for and leading the construction projects you
see around the village in the trailers. He doesn't have a deep
background, but is said to be related to the series most mysterious
character(Spencer?). He is power-hungry, and uses the man with the axe
as his personal bodyguard to spread fear.

-Wesker confirmed. He is said to kick in about 5 % into the game. He drives around in a black car
-Sherry Birkin confirmed. Her story will be deep and when the game finishes, we still will not be fully sure about her story.

No
other old characters will be returning(example: Jill, Barry, Claire,
Billy, Leon, etc). However, Jill and Barry will be heavily mentioned in
the game, and seen in flashbacks(?).

-Chris and Sheva will have relation problems throughout game, but it will be Sheva's fault.
-Many times Chris will literally shave Sheva's ass, thus, their relationships gets back again.


Game Development:

-The game is 15 hours gameplay, and 8 hours cut-scenes.
-The game will be like a MOVIE.
-Release date March 13th 2009.
-Capcom is willing to go to any lengths to pay whatever the cost to make sure Resident Evil 5 is best graphics game of 2009.
-Puzzles
are a huge factor of the game. One level is a FULL puzzle level, and
you must clear it to proceed. Co-op is EXTREME here. After that level,
you will see something beyond your imagination
-CE will have something that will intrigue everyone to buy the CE.
-The game is being/will be advertised in many many ways, worldwide, to spread promotion and sales of RE5.
-Co-op drop in/out CONFIRMED!
-Chris solo gameplay will be for about average ONE hour before Sheva kicks in.
-superb lighting
-NO SUCH THING AS THE MIRAGES FEATURE ANYMORE!
-NO HEAT/COLD feature!

Flashbacks NOT PLAYABLE! Dev team did not want to go too far with the game.

Weapons:
--There will be a total of 30 weapons. 20 will be found/used/owned by Chris, and 10 by Sheva
-Chainsaw
finally usable! But this will happen only after you defeat the Chainsaw
enemy the last time. Moreso, in a event, Chris will be forced to
discard the Chainsaw, and that's where it is no longer usable.

OVERALL: There is a total of 11 screenshots.
-2 from the REmake(Chris)
-3 from CVX(Chris)
-1 of the BSAA HQ
-4 from the RE5 trailers we already seen
and the last new screenshot is in the characters section, in Kralin's post.

It's
of Kralin and the Birdlady. They are in such a pose, that the BirdLady
seems as if she's weaked(Kralin's holding her up), and they are in a
semi-kissing hugging stance in a dark room with a concrete wall in the
back. This yet proves more they are together as one.


WESKER FINALLY REVEALED (spoilers) Excella Gionne to the left of Wesker.
said to be related to one of the founders of a pharmacy compant called TriCell.

Remember when people used to play the game if they wanted to know about it? That's long gone. :<

Anyway, I'll wait for other people to talk about the game before I pass judgements myself.

[Saner]

well ya impatience sometimes gets the best of us, but I didn't spoil myself of any
story details from Warriors Orochi 2, and it felt much better as a surprise. :)

but RE5...blah, I don't care how much I know about it. it's a long while before it comes in
March. :lol: but I'm surprised Claire won't even be mentioned in RE5 it seems, only
Jill and Barry but it's good we'll get to see Barry again at least in flashbacks. maybe we'll
even see the scene in the gunshop when Barry first meets Chris and recruited him for
S.T.A.R.S.

Yes. Same team.
Also made Gunstar Heroes, Sin and Punishment, Astro Boy for GBA, Bangai-O and Bangai-O Spirits, Advance Guardian Heroes, MIschief Makers, Ikaruga, and Radiant Silver Gun.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AF5aBeEBrR8

sure beats just sitting in a players list menu before launching the mode. :p

oh look interview

"PR Staff"
How long have you spent on development?
"Takeuchi"
From the time we got all the ideas down on paper until now has been about three-and-a-half years. It'll be some time before we're finished, but not too much longer.

"PR Staff"
With all the ambitious techniques employed in RE5, it makes it a landmark game in a way.
"Takeuchi"
We feel that everything came together extremely well for this game. Thanks to the next-gen consoles, customers are in for a real visual feast. We want to make a jaw-dropping game that will surpass all their expectations. RE5 will occupy a unique place in the world of gaming. Everyone is going to get a big surprise.

"PR Staff"
You're carrying out a very thorough global strategy.
"Takeuchi"
Well (laughs), we having meetings every week for the Resident Evil Project in the U.S., Japan, and Europe.

PR Staff"
Would you mind telling us about Resident Evil 5's more salient points?
"Takeuchi"
The most important thing about RE5 is that it has a movie-like story while still retaining the high level of interactivity of a game. It's like you are actually where the story is taking place. We are providing the ultimate gaming experience. In addition, I believe this game fully realizes the potential of next-gen systems. It's worth buying a next-gen system just to see how far games have really come.

"PR Staff"
Finally, what makes a game a Capcom game?
"Takeuchi"
It's remembering the things you were taught, while being willing to try new things. I mean that's part of it, but, surprisingly enough, it's really hard to say what makes a game a Capcom game. I know that preserving our corporate culture is part of it. It's hard to preserve something so abstract, but I think that the chairman and the president have been good at grasping it and changing direction [when necessary]. The president has set as his goals what the current chairman had laid out before. I don't think there are many CEOs out there who concern themselves with the daily operation like at Capcom. Capcom takes care of its people. It's a well-established company with a unique corporate culture.

[Sexy_Raine]

I don't want to make for new topic for this so I'll just talk about it here.

Don't hype the Nintendo conference that's taking place in a few hours(Oct. 2nd) After the pathetic E3 showing, I'm sure a lot people don't care anymore. This conference will most likely suck as well.

Now TGS is a diffrenet story, I'm actually hyped about it. Sony will be revealing 9 new titles at TGS. And the 3rd parties will have a lot to show as well.

Namco's TGS list (http://www.qj.net/Namco-Bandai-TGS-08-lineup-Nobi-Nobi-Boy-to-make-public-appearance/pg/49/aid/124490)

Can't wait to see what comes.

oh ya and I heard Warriors Orochi 2 got a auto-update patch that fixes the majority of the slowdown. If you found the slowdown unbearable (I didn't have a problem with it), then you'll find the patch most welcome. Plus I heard it removes the slowdown from splitscreen co-op also and more stable
like the other games, so that's a plus. ^^

:burger:

also, dozens of new Resident Evil 5 gameplay screenshots:

also there will be no typewriters (which is a good thing)
http://kotaku.com/5058432/no-more-typewriter-saves-for-resident-evil

"Actually, I really like typewriters; they're really typical of the Resident Evil series. But this time, the save system will be a combination of checkpoints and chapters."

also here is a SR2 video review from a pirate.
but I'm not watching it cause it showed a little too much and I wanna
avoid spoilers. :p besides I already know the pros are the single player,
co-op and customization and the cons are the multiplayer limitations, but
chances are it will still be great.

I'm baffled they pirated it so early. Maybe Volition shouldn't of made a
PC version. but they can pirate next-gen console games too huh? but it's
not as easy cause I heard Gears of War 2 chose to not make PC version
because of the extreme piracy. so they have better chance of not losing
sales sticking with consoles. PC gaming is the most corrupt part of this
industry anyway. it's probably best if gaming stays with consoles to be safe.

deep customization. so deep, it can drown the world. :D

I don't think this is really too topic worthy, so i'll just stick this here.

Grasshopper Manufacture and Suda51 license the Unreal Engine 3 (http://www.destructoid.com/grasshopper-licenses-unreal-engine-3-rainbows-no-longer-possible-106688.phtml) for their next game.

This is kind of interesting to see. Most of Grasshoppers/Suda51's recent titles have been heavily stylized. Seeing the group pick up one of the more detail-oriented engines out there for their next project is quite the twist already.

Hmmm. You don't see many Japanese developers using UE3 that often. Also, I hear all the instructions are in English, which makes it hard for them to make full use of it. I suppose EA can help Grasshopper with any UE3 support, but I still have my reservations.

[Monochrome]

Well, if it turns out clunky they can always say "we did that on purpose" and probably get away with it.

this is bizarre. Sakura is confirmed for Street Fighter IV and now Capcom is undecided about
Cammy, but Cammy won their poll/survey contest. yet Sakura has media earlier:

And another shotokan joins the SF4 roster. Not that I'm complaining, Ryu is my favorite character and Ken and Akuma are tied for 2nd place, it's just that I am still waiting for "NEW" character that help show that the SF series has evolved over the last 15 or so years. SF4 still looks and feels too much like SF2 for my liking.

As for Cammy, I hope she makes it into the console versions. Capcom already said that she ( and Fei Long ) will be in it and I see no reason for them to go back on thier word. They are probably spending alot of time making sure she balances with the new SF4 engine and the rest of the SF4 roster. We don't want her to be more powerful ( or less powerful ) then the other characters. Character tweaking takes time.

That was the point, in a way. Capcom doesn't want to experiment too much, since they haven't had a hit arcade fighter in almost a decade. If SF4 does well in the arcades (or consoles), you'll see more interesting characters and fighting systems.

Also, this game's story takes place around the time of SF2.
