The official "RAmar" game until PSO ep 1 & II

[Spy]

OMG. Has anyone else played Time Splitters II with the GC controler.

*creams pants*

And the Tactical 12-guage pwnz.

OMG. Best game ever!

*creams pants again*

Eep. If my pants were on teh fire I r would have put them out by now.

[Dabra]

I own the game on ps2. I gotta admit i love it, the tactical gauge is sweet on the icey level (forgot name) with that cannon-equipped building in the middle.

And i love aztec, nothing beats it when you stick in 5 arrows in the ennemy's body and see him running around all alive. Priceless.

October will empty your wallet.

TS2, RF2, GTA:VC, PSO, countless others. I may have to rent this game. Me=poor.

November will empty my wallet for a week. $200 for Steel Battalion (http://www.ebgames.com/ebx/categories/products/product.asp?pf_id=227919) >=)

$200 for a videogame?

That's a little expensive.
I think that PSO and AC will be enough for me.

Some people don't know how to click links or read X_X

At this blatant plug which is also a link (http://www.ebgames.com/ebx/categories/products/product.asp?pf_id=227919), which also leads to a description of the game and what is included with it...you will read:

"Steel Battalion is an exciting battle-mech simulator that uses the most elaborate controller interface ever created. Take a seat inside the cockpit of a mechanized VT (Vertical Tank) and enter into futuristic military warfare, where you pilot 20 different mechs in a multinational task force operation in an effort to over throw the government. Included with the game is an exclusive 40-button controller to completely maximize the gaming experience, making your feel as if you are actually piloting a mechanized Vertical Tank!"

*EDIT*
..I had to make it blatantly obvious why the game is so expensive...just so I would'nt have to make another post to point it out. I'm so nice =)

Also coming out in November....

Resident Evil 0! (OOoohhhh, aaaaahh)
Metroid Prime...! (*claps*)
The fabulous Metroid Fusion! (*random chatter*)
And also... Cubivore, Shinobi, Suikoden III, Revenge of Shinobi, Phantasy Star Collection, DDR Max, X-box Live Starter Kit, Splinter Cell, Steel Battalion, MGS2: Substance, Contra for PS2/GBA. I bet.. all the gaming companies did this on purpose so that we have like, another Economic Depression! omfg, wallet apocalypse!

I can buy a damn ps2, xbox or gamecube with 200 dollars. It's way to expensive. In my opinion it's not going to sell well. Not saying the game sucks but not many people are ready to dish out 200 bucks for a game (yadda yadda big controlla). God knows if it has a lot of very little replay value.

*reads it again*

Where's the online play?

PS: Though i gotta admit i wanna play that game. It must be cool to flip a boxed button on the side of the controller and smash the red button for a big missile.

*drools*

STILL TOO EXPENSIVE!!11

[ABDUR101]

Steel Battalion has stuff that you can un-lock as you play. It's replayability comes from it's novelty and the skill needed to play it.

It's sequel is planned to have multiplayer.

Sure, this game isn't for everyone, but you better beleive those who can afford it are going to enjoy it. =)

And the covered button is an eject/self destruction button I beleive, it's covered for protection against misplaced fingers and passer-by idiots who'd think it funny to press the big red button.

Whatever it is, sure ought to be cool when in an intense fight, and you flip the cover in a stylish way and jam the button. Just when i think about it it looks cool. Probably not a game for me, i mainly like multiplayer or split screen games. If i had 2 of them babies then THAT would be another story.

And here (http://image.com.com/gamespot/images/2002/news/09/16/steelbox_screen001.jpg)'s a picture of the controller.

I'm going to try and get it, but I doubt I'll have the funding to afford it with PSO Episodes I & II, ToeJam & Earl 3, and MechAssault all coming out.

...is anyone else noticing the absurd amount of irony in that?

Your topic wasn't exactly high jacked, people just started posting what they'd be playing until PSO came out. You said Time Splitters, then D55 listed some games, then I listed Steel Battalion.

And I'll also add UT 2003 and Battlefield:1942 to my list.

I REALLY wanna play TS2. I have the first one for PS2. Sweet game. Personally, though, I think it'd be a little hard with a GC controller. TS1 is a fricken' hard game. PS2 controllers OWN for FPS games, IMO. Then again.. Give me a mouse and keyboard any dayt for an FPS. I grew up with Quake 2.

Actually I like the GC controller better. The PS2's analog sticks arent sensitive enough.

I haven't really had a problem with 'em. Even still, like I said... I'd take a mouse and keyboard over a controller any day. I need to slipce one for XBox or something... THEN my friends will know true fear in Halo... *Cackles insanely* Actually, I suck at FPS no matter what control setup I have. I'm best with a mouse/keyboard, though.
