[spoiler] We need one to discuss E3 things. For Microsoft's conference, we learned about Fallout 3, Gears of War 2, Final Fantasy XIII and Mi- I mean, Avatars. (http://wii.ign.com/articles/889/889275p1.html) Man, that Avatar idea is sweet! I've never seen anything like it! Other than that, Microsoft isn't important. Now Nintendo's conference doesn't start until tomorrow, but we already learned about the Wii Motion Plus (http://kotaku.com/5024907/nintendo-introduces-wii-motion-plus) which will enhance motion controls to feel very close to 1:1 gameplay. --- TODAY IS THE DAY.

This is a breakthrough in technology. I wish Nintendo did something like it.
Title: Re: E3 2008 Topic Post by: preventerWIND on 15 July 2008, 05:21:13 ... Dumbasses...
haha "when did I eat a space alien?.." Title: Re: E3 2008 Topic Post by: ASR on 15 July 2008, 05:27:35 I really just don't care.
I guess I'm interested in Banjo-Threeie (I refuse to call it otherwise), MegaMan 9, and the new F-Zero. Title: Re: E3 2008 Topic Post by: ChaosVortex on 15 July 2008, 06:12:57 I really just don't care. I'm the same exact way. F-Zero? What? Title: Re: E3 2008 Topic Post by: Vinchenz Rock on 15 July 2008, 06:16:50 Capcom's apparently making the next F-Zero.
Title: Re: E3 2008 Topic Post by: ChaosVortex on 15 July 2008, 06:19:45 Any source to this information?
Title: Re: E3 2008 Topic Post by: ASR on 15 July 2008, 06:45:46 I hear there's weapons in it. That is bad.
Title: Re: E3 2008 Topic Post by: Kamon on 15 July 2008, 09:05:02 Sounds like F-Zero's becoming a Wipeout clone now.
Title: Re: E3 2008 Topic Post by: Chron on 15 July 2008, 15:32:14 I have a this vendetta against the XBox.
To me, it represents everything that is wrong with the games industry these days. I also hate Microsoft to no end (to the point that I'm about to switch to Linux completely and just run Wine to play my games and crap). They steal everything, they never come up with their own ideas, they steal developers and exclusive games, and they just generally try to monopolize the industry. You don't want that to happen because creativity will be dead and you'll be playing games on the #####tiest console this generation. Title: Re: E3 2008 Topic Post by: Vinchenz Rock on 15 July 2008, 16:33:52 Nintendo's conference is starting in 25 minutes... I'll update the first post with new info.
Title: Re: E3 2008 Topic Post by: preventerWIND on 15 July 2008, 16:40:36 I heard they might be planning a new DS model...
Title: Re: E3 2008 Topic Post by: Vinchenz Rock on 15 July 2008, 16:44:14 I heard that too. We'll see in 15~ minutes.
I'll keep the info constantly updated for those are interested. Title: Re: E3 2008 Topic Post by: preventerWIND on 15 July 2008, 16:45:02 How do you know all this?
Nevermind, I'm checkin the live thingy Title: Re: E3 2008 Topic Post by: Vinchenz Rock on 15 July 2008, 16:50:09 I go to a GOOD GameFAQs board where there's only one dumb user at there.
Title: Re: E3 2008 Topic Post by: preventerWIND on 15 July 2008, 17:03:56 So, wait, isn't there a live broadcast video I can watch? Like right now?
Title: Re: E3 2008 Topic Post by: ASR on 15 July 2008, 17:05:44 There is no such thing.
Also, WHAT. I JUST GOT MY LITE WITHIN THE LAST YEAR. I COULD'VE WAITED. Title: Re: E3 2008 Topic Post by: preventerWIND on 15 July 2008, 17:06:17 Oh, again, under a rock.
Title: Re: E3 2008 Topic Post by: ASR on 15 July 2008, 17:08:21 No, I meant there's no such thing as a GOOD GameFAQs board. I'm pretty sure there's a live feed.
But I'm working for my dad today, and I'm on my lunch break, so I personally don't care about any live feeds. I think the channel G4 is airing stuff. Title: Re: E3 2008 Topic Post by: Vinchenz Rock on 15 July 2008, 17:13:06 So, wait, isn't there a live broadcast video I can watch? Like right now? I'm watching it right now on GameSpot. Updated first post already. Title: Re: E3 2008 Topic Post by: ASR on 15 July 2008, 17:14:20 You can definitely calm down about the news, but I at least appreciate that you're making it all nice and tidy for us to read later.
Title: Re: E3 2008 Topic Post by: preventerWIND on 15 July 2008, 17:16:18 Yeah, I'm watching it to-OMG HE ANNOUNCED MEGAMAN X9!!!!!1
Title: Re: E3 2008 Topic Post by: ASR on 15 July 2008, 17:17:36 ...wha...?
Title: Re: E3 2008 Topic Post by: preventerWIND on 15 July 2008, 17:18:32 They announced X9 on the Wii in the live video conference.
Title: Re: E3 2008 Topic Post by: ASR on 15 July 2008, 17:20:07 ...details. DETAILS.
Title: Re: E3 2008 Topic Post by: Vinchenz Rock on 15 July 2008, 17:21:37 No he didn't.
Title: Re: E3 2008 Topic Post by: preventerWIND on 15 July 2008, 17:22:23 V, you're an aaaaaaaassssssss....
Animal Crossing for Wii announced. Title: Re: E3 2008 Topic Post by: ASR on 15 July 2008, 17:24:03 I HATE YOUR FACE, WIND

Wait, Animal Crossing: City folk for the Wii is going to have microphone capabilities. Now they're talking about DS. And Pokemon too. Title: Re: E3 2008 Topic Post by: ASR on 15 July 2008, 17:31:24 That's actually pretty groundbreaking. For Nintendo.
Title: Re: E3 2008 Topic Post by: Vinchenz Rock on 15 July 2008, 17:32:05 I'M UPDATINF HERE, WIND. OUTTA MY TERRITORY.
Title: Re: E3 2008 Topic Post by: preventerWIND on 15 July 2008, 17:33:22 I DUN THINK SOOOOOOOO.
I expect them to talk about the new DS and maybe Pokemon Platinum.. If theres anything ##### brickingly awesome I'll have pics. Title: Re: E3 2008 Topic Post by: ASR on 15 July 2008, 17:34:27 We're still in a fight.
Title: Re: E3 2008 Topic Post by: preventerWIND on 15 July 2008, 17:35:26 Dick butt.
Title: Re: E3 2008 Topic Post by: ASR on 15 July 2008, 17:36:15 HAHA LIKE WHAT YOU ARE
RIGHT? Title: Re: E3 2008 Topic Post by: preventerWIND on 15 July 2008, 17:42:55 NO U
Star Wars: Clone Wars was anounced, using the Wii lightsaber attatchment-majig.. Raving Rabbits and Call of Duty too. Posted on: 15 July 2008, 17:39:48 Another Guitar Hero game for the DS, Guitar Hero: On tour Decades.. Meh.. Spore creatures on DS! Title: Re: E3 2008 Topic Post by: ASR on 15 July 2008, 17:44:05 Huh. Spore.
Title: Re: E3 2008 Topic Post by: preventerWIND on 15 July 2008, 17:44:43 GTA ON DS!? CHINA TOWN WARS?
Title: Re: E3 2008 Topic Post by: ASR on 15 July 2008, 17:46:42 It's not that amazing. There was a GTA for GBA. I owned it.
Title: Re: E3 2008 Topic Post by: preventerWIND on 15 July 2008, 17:49:20 I didn't know GTA was on any Nintendo console.. This is a first for me.
Wii motion plus shown. A new Wii sport game too. Title: Re: E3 2008 Topic Post by: ASR on 15 July 2008, 17:53:04 Yeah, I'm pretty sure there was a GTA for GBC, too. I think they were both ports/remakes of the original GTA.
Title: Re: E3 2008 Topic Post by: preventerWIND on 15 July 2008, 18:11:01 I think I remember now.
Wii Music for the Wii announced, some douche was playing on the drums really badly. Miyamoto's playing Wii Music now too, Jazzin' it up with a sax. You can play a whole bunch of instruments. And you don't have to be able to read music to play it. Heheh, a whole bunch of Nintendo employees including Miyamoto are playing the SMB theme. Posted on: 15 July 2008, 17:57:20 K, it's finished. Thats all. No new DS : ( Title: Re: E3 2008 Topic Post by: Vinchenz Rock on 15 July 2008, 18:12:15 Done.
I'm not wowed, but I'm happy that Animal Crossing is coming. Wii Music looks a little interesting... Title: Re: E3 2008 Topic Post by: ASR on 15 July 2008, 18:13:16 Oh, that Wii Music thing caught my interest ages ago. They've been talking about that for over a year now. Glad it's finally on the way. Hope it's cheap, too.
I also hope that MotionPlus peripheral means a new WarioWare with more precise controls is on the way. Title: Re: E3 2008 Topic Post by: preventerWIND on 15 July 2008, 18:13:40 Animal Crossing looks kickin'. And some of the stuff on the new Wii Sports looks fun.
Title: Re: E3 2008 Topic Post by: ChaosVortex on 15 July 2008, 20:26:33 Animal Crossing for the Wii sounds good. Everything else sounds meh.
I thought a week ago that a Wii Radio channel would be nice. Title: Re: E3 2008 Topic Post by: ASR on 15 July 2008, 20:39:45 I see no point in that.
Title: Re: E3 2008 Topic Post by: Vinchenz Rock on 15 July 2008, 21:28:20 Updated the first post to include Liveblogs of Sony's and Microsoft's conferences.
Also added a "Videos" section, with Sonic UNLEASED. Hid my Liveblog because... well it was pretty big. I watched Sony's conference... and honestly, it was better than Nintendo's. There a much bigger reason for me to buy a PS3 now. Posted on: 15 July 2008, 16:22:13 Just added Final Fantasy XIII to the videos list. Title: Re: E3 2008 Topic Post by: MOX on 15 July 2008, 21:32:39 ..Are those yellow Stormtroopers?
Title: Re: E3 2008 Topic Post by: Johncarllos on 15 July 2008, 21:36:06 I watched the new Sonic Unleashed thing.
WHY THE HELL would they put IN THE TRAILER a part where you pick up and put down a stone to open a door. I thought we were done with that! Everything else looked okay-ish about it. Title: Re: E3 2008 Topic Post by: Vinchenz Rock on 15 July 2008, 21:40:12 ..Are those yellow Stormtroopers? ? Also, I updated the videos again with a new Animal Crossing video (but its not the same as the conference video). Posted on: 15 July 2008, 16:37:38 Found the original conference video for Animal Crossing. Title: Re: E3 2008 Topic Post by: ChaosVortex on 15 July 2008, 21:41:52 I see no point in that. That's what I thought, but my computer was down so it would've been useful at the time. You could browse other people's tastes in music and have a list of favorites and stuff. I don't know. It's just an idea. Bite me. Title: Re: E3 2008 Topic Post by: MOX on 15 July 2008, 21:48:38 ..Are those yellow Stormtroopers?? I meant for the FFXIII video. Title: Re: E3 2008 Topic Post by: Vinchenz Rock on 15 July 2008, 21:49:21 Oh.
yes Title: Re: E3 2008 Topic Post by: ASR on 15 July 2008, 21:51:30 Sonic Unleashed looks terrible.
Title: Re: E3 2008 Topic Post by: Vinchenz Rock on 15 July 2008, 21:59:28 Chrono Trigger DS video added to the list.
It's the same as the Japanese one except with English names and writing. It confirms that the characters will keep their names given to them from the Ted Woolsey SNES translation. Title: Re: E3 2008 Topic Post by: NovaMan XP on 15 July 2008, 22:06:57 I like how Animal Crossing Wii looks. Although the Mii Face ( I assume its a Mii face ) they show during the trailer looked really out of place in the game...
Title: Re: E3 2008 Topic Post by: Vinchenz Rock on 15 July 2008, 22:58:17 Dragon Quest IV: Chapters of the Chosen video put up.
Posted on: 15 July 2008, 17:19:12 Kirby's Super Star: Ultra video was put on the first post. Posted on: 15 July 2008, 17:54:10 MadWorld (a game made by the same guys who made Viewtiful Joe but under a different name and with Sega) has been added to the videos list. Title: Re: E3 2008 Topic Post by: Abominator on 15 July 2008, 23:04:43 Animal Crossing doesn't look new enough....................... .....
Title: Re: E3 2008 Topic Post by: Chron on 15 July 2008, 23:45:44 That Kirby's Superstar is pretty much the same. Looks like they added some cut scenes, but didn't put any effort into redoing the game.
Which is okay, I guess, but both of the SNES Kirby games had crappy art. Title: Re: E3 2008 Topic Post by: Vinchenz Rock on 15 July 2008, 23:47:20 There's new modes, apparently, called Revenge of the King and Metaknight Ultra.
Title: Re: E3 2008 Topic Post by: Chron on 15 July 2008, 23:51:54 Oh, how I hate Metaknight.
The Axl of the Kirby series. He's even cheap as a boss. Title: Re: E3 2008 Topic Post by: Vinchenz Rock on 16 July 2008, 00:12:11 Heheh. I just gained access to Nintendo's E3 Press Site. :P
More info if I find any... Posted on: 15 July 2008, 19:08:16 Well now, theres tons of high resolution pictures here, none of those crappy JPEG files (they're all in BMP... why didn't they make them PNG?). Anyway, it seems like Animal Crossing will have widescreen support, for those who are into that stuff. All of the images are... wide. Title: Re: E3 2008 Topic Post by: Chron on 16 July 2008, 00:13:18 BMP is the raw format without any compression. It's what professionals save source pictures as when they want to compress and edit them later.
Title: Re: E3 2008 Topic Post by: Vinchenz Rock on 16 July 2008, 00:16:00 oh
Title: Re: E3 2008 Topic Post by: Fatso on 16 July 2008, 00:37:19 Wii Music fails to impress me. I'd rather have either an actual sequencer or a recording studio of some sort.
Barring that, some fake instruments that actually work like the real ones. I could rock that Wii Trumpet for ages. Title: Re: E3 2008 Topic Post by: Mikero on 16 July 2008, 01:09:12 GTA on DS? And possibly not a remake? I'm down for that.
So did they say anything about a new DS model? Title: Re: E3 2008 Topic Post by: Snare on 16 July 2008, 01:59:39 ...! Wii Music better have a harp!
But as a music nut, I'll be buying it no matter what. Title: Re: E3 2008 Topic Post by: Vinchenz Rock on 16 July 2008, 02:13:00 GTA on DS? And possibly not a remake? I'm down for that. Probably not a remake, seeing the game takes place in China Town. So did they say anything about a new DS model? Nothing, as I've said, everything is in my first post in this topic. If its not there, it doesn't exist. Title: Re: E3 2008 Topic Post by: ASR on 16 July 2008, 02:23:22 MEGAMAN X9 WIND
WIND YOU ARE DEAD Title: Re: E3 2008 Topic Post by: Mikero on 16 July 2008, 02:24:39 There's a Chinatown in every decent sized city... Meaning that this game COULD actually take place during Vice City, San Andreas, or anything in Liberty City. They made the Vice City PSP game a sort-of remake as Vice City Stories, since you're a different character and it's a prequel. So they do weirdness like that. Either way, if it's 3D sandbox GTA like the latest ones, I'll probably get it.
I mean... PORTABLE GTA! And not portable top-down GTA-GTA2 style (those games are good, but... Yeah.)!! GTA on DS? And possibly not a remake? I'm down for that. When I checked you had nothing about the GTA game which exists, SO THERE! Title: Re: E3 2008 Topic Post by: ASR on 16 July 2008, 02:26:15 I'm assuming it's an all-new game, or at least a companion-game to GTA4 in some way.
Title: Re: E3 2008 Topic Post by: Mikero on 16 July 2008, 02:27:26 I kind of hope it has to do with The Triads and Wu Zi Mu from San Andreas. Even if it's GTA4 related. I just love Wu Zi. 'Course I haven't finished San Andreas yet (almost, no time to play what with jobs).
Title: Re: E3 2008 Topic Post by: ASR on 16 July 2008, 02:29:08 I've never fully completed a GTA game. I once borrowed a PS2 to play San Andreas, but I didn't play it too much. I got really far in the first PSP one, though. I actually think I might've beaten it, just doing the bare minimum, though.
Title: Re: E3 2008 Topic Post by: Vinchenz Rock on 16 July 2008, 02:48:44 When I checked you had nothing about the GTA game which exists, SO THERE! Under the Hide text option. -12:44: Grand Theft Auto: China Town Wars for DS announced. Posted on: 15 July 2008, 21:30:17 Added a News Stories section. BTW, Capcom's conference is going on as I type this message. Title: Re: E3 2008 Topic Post by: Mikero on 16 July 2008, 02:52:01 I just looked at the list of links, that's why.
I've never fully completed a GTA game. I once borrowed a PS2 to play San Andreas, but I didn't play it too much. I got really far in the first PSP one, though. I actually think I might've beaten it, just doing the bare minimum, though. I still like San Andreas the best of all of them. The story was/is great and it's so much more customizeable than the other games. You can mod cars and everything. GTA4 is cool, but... I don't know. There's things about it that BLAH me right out. Driving anything anywhere is total ass in it, I generally just cab everywhere I can. I just dislike basically every car (they all drive almost the same anyway) when in the other games I like trying out the cars. The only car I've tried that's a decent drive in GTA4 is the police cars. And motorcycles are total ##### in it. No trip skip. That's a big one when you're doing the more pesky missions that have you die/fail in cheapo weird ways. But the restart mission thing is great. Niko... Has basically no character. I realize YOU'RE supposed to be the character, but... Even his reactions to what people say or do. He almost always has the same expression. It's not really an "I don't give a #####" thing, it's more like he doesn't even notice that stuff is happening around him. He looks like a dorkwad in pretty much everything except the suits. Musically, meh. The benefit of Vice City and San Andreas being set in the past is that all the songs are chosen in hindsight. Hindsight IS 20/20 and it applies to music easily. When you're choosing songs from the 80's or 90's, you have to benefit of most songs being universally received as either good or bad without the difference of opinion that may have happened when the songs came out initially. In GTA4, you get songs from THIS year, which in the future may or may not (more than like not for most of them) be seen as classics from this decade. Like really... "Flashing Lights"? Right. The whole game is dark, which I guess is actually pretty indicative of what a corrupt place Liberty City is. I guess Liberty City is a take on what the darkside of New York City is supposed to be like. But the environments aren't all just dark, but... Kind of bland. Colour-wise only, because in terms of detail the game is nuts. And I find movement a bit weird. And the way doors just push open like they're made of DVD-Case plastic or a light fiberglass. That said, all the new innovations (or just new stuff, rather) are pretty sweet. I just find San Andreas and even Vice City (which I did not initially care for, but plan to borrow and try) have an overall feel that GTA4 has abandoned. It's like a whole new GTAniverse, and it not having connections to the previous games doesn't really help. Title: Re: E3 2008 Topic Post by: ASR on 16 July 2008, 03:13:29 I really want to try GTA4 but I haven't had the chance. From the way you put it I feel I can wait a little longer anyway.
Title: Re: E3 2008 Topic Post by: Lunchebox on 16 July 2008, 03:46:25 During Nintendo's press conference, both me and Teisel kept asking:
"Where's Reggie? Or at least, someone important!" "Yay, it's Iwata/Reggie/Miyamoto" "Oh Jesus, not her again, bring back Reggie!" "Okay... That's kinda neat but..." Overall: Nintendo showed us some neat things, but nothing too impressive. Title: Re: E3 2008 Topic Post by: ASR on 16 July 2008, 03:51:11 Everything I've read just sounds bleh. All standard fare, enough new stuff to satisfy but not blow us away.
Vinch, what's up with the Capcom conference? I'm curious about Bionic Commando and MegaMan 9, obviously. Title: Re: E3 2008 Topic Post by: preventerWIND on 16 July 2008, 03:58:09 All this ##### is about lost planet.
Title: Re: E3 2008 Topic Post by: ASR on 16 July 2008, 04:00:37 I'd at least expect some major coverage on both new Street Fighters and Bionic Commando.
Title: Re: E3 2008 Topic Post by: NovaMan XP on 16 July 2008, 04:04:38 On Thursday I heard they'll be covering MegaMan 9 ... unless that was a lie.
Title: Re: E3 2008 Topic Post by: ASR on 16 July 2008, 04:05:18 I just want a release date less than a week past Japan's.
Title: Re: E3 2008 Topic Post by: Dizzy on 16 July 2008, 11:10:22 http://www.gametrailers.com/game/9142.html
There's Megaman 9 stuff Alec. Dunno if it's been posted anywhere else on the board though. Title: Re: E3 2008 Topic Post by: Xero on 16 July 2008, 11:24:02 Watching the game intro.
Calling it right now....Dr.Light's a robot double built by Wily ala MM3. Title: Re: E3 2008 Topic Post by: preventerWIND on 16 July 2008, 12:04:13 MAYBE LIGHT IS THE BAD GUY AND MAYBE HES MODEL A AS WELL
Looks like we've seen Plug man and Magma man, they look pretty cool. And Dr.Wily said something about his robots, hopefully he'll make his own set of robot masters we have to deal with after the first 8. MOAR FUN Title: Re: E3 2008 Topic Post by: NovaMan XP on 16 July 2008, 15:04:07 It might just turn out his robots become the fortress bosses. But I hope it means more robot masters to fight.
Title: Re: E3 2008 Topic Post by: ASR on 16 July 2008, 16:08:07 Thanks for the link, Dizzy. Good stuff, good stuff. I like how the they ended that one gameplay video in PlugMan's stage RIGHT before he was gonna' die.
ALSO, HARD MAN :-p Title: Re: E3 2008 Topic Post by: Chron on 16 July 2008, 16:16:14 OFF THE HOOK!
The opening... looks interesting. Apparently it's been some time since Rock last did anything, from Dr. Light's words. Maybe the slide and charge were removed because he didn't think he'd have to fight again? Title: Re: E3 2008 Topic Post by: Lunchebox on 16 July 2008, 16:46:37 Megaman is a lazy dick. All he does is sit around the house all day and watch TV.
I know he saved the world a few times, but he needs to get a mother #####ing job! Title: Re: E3 2008 Topic Post by: preventerWIND on 16 July 2008, 16:48:50 He's probably let himself go, and too fat to slide or do anything cool anymore..
I love how the cutscene sprites have really changed. I still haven't given up hope for the charge shot yet.. Title: Re: E3 2008 Topic Post by: ASR on 16 July 2008, 17:14:55 I want the slide, not the charge shot.
Title: Re: E3 2008 Topic Post by: preventerWIND on 16 July 2008, 17:16:56 Charge shot would be a bonus.. But I want the slide too. Makes boss battles more fun, if you can do more, they can do more too!
Title: Re: E3 2008 Topic Post by: Vinchenz Rock on 16 July 2008, 17:28:36 I have a feeling that sliding and the charge shot won't be missing from the game.
Title: Re: E3 2008 Topic Post by: SB on 16 July 2008, 17:32:47 The demo where the guy sucks hardcore at it and doesn't have a clue about the series shows that one platform where that Bolt is under that ledge in a slide fashion, so it's definetely going to be in there somehow.
Now it means we either have to farm bolts until the game is as boring and unfun as R&F, just to get standard gameplay features, or else there's still the big chance that it's downloadable content, since Capcom knows they have the fans by their balls and can squeeze as hard as they want until we pay the money that makes them happy. Title: Re: E3 2008 Topic Post by: Vinchenz Rock on 16 July 2008, 17:35:44 I just watched that video.
"What level is this?" "I believe this is HardMan's." ... I believe this is HardMan's. believe this is HardMan's. this is HardMan's. is HardMan's. HardMan's. HARDMAN ... Title: Re: E3 2008 Topic Post by: ASR on 16 July 2008, 17:43:46 It's worse when he's like "So in this game, Dr. Light has actually gone evil and it's Dr. Wily who's trying to help everybody!"
Title: Re: E3 2008 Topic Post by: Vinchenz Rock on 16 July 2008, 17:46:37 Yeah, it sounds as if Capcom hired him just to sit there and to try to figure out the game on his own.
Title: Re: E3 2008 Topic Post by: preventerWIND on 16 July 2008, 17:48:43 He's lucky we don't know what he looks like. We'd mess him up we would.
You lucked out MegaMan 9 voice guy.. Title: Re: E3 2008 Topic Post by: Vinchenz Rock on 16 July 2008, 18:00:15 Dead Rising confirmed for Wii (news posted on the first post).
I think I'll keep this thread for new games that have been announced and stuff after E3's done. Title: Re: E3 2008 Topic Post by: NovaMan XP on 16 July 2008, 18:01:00 I really can't believe he said HardMan though.
That Dr. Light is obviously a fake. Title: Re: E3 2008 Topic Post by: preventerWIND on 16 July 2008, 18:10:40 We need some Phoenix Wright up in here.
Title: Re: E3 2008 Topic Post by: Chron on 16 July 2008, 18:37:40 Protip: He's never played Megaman.
Why am I the only one here who LIKES the charge shot? It looks cool and it's tactically advantageous. Why the hate? Title: Re: E3 2008 Topic Post by: ASR on 16 July 2008, 19:19:48 I never liked the charge shot in the Classic series. In X and so on, it's great.
But I loved the slide and I don't want to have to unlock that. Title: Re: E3 2008 Topic Post by: Xero on 16 July 2008, 19:20:19 The charge shot makes it too easy.
It's good for the X series and beyond but uneeded in the classic games. Title: Re: E3 2008 Topic Post by: ASR on 16 July 2008, 19:21:22 Jynx, you owe me a soda!
Title: Re: E3 2008 Topic Post by: Chron on 16 July 2008, 19:24:43 Too easy?
It gives you the tool you need to survive in the games you have it in. Oh, well. You can have your opinion. (I'll agree that it works better in MMX) Title: Re: E3 2008 Topic Post by: Xero on 16 July 2008, 20:02:02 I think rapid fire makes it even easier than charged shot.
Title: Re: E3 2008 Topic Post by: Captain Sanoguchi on 16 July 2008, 20:09:01 My thoughts on E3 so far.
FF13 on 360: Uh... Who cares? Animal Crossing on the Wii: Yay! ^_^ GTA on the DS: WTF? New Wii Sports: Meh... I'll probably get it if not just for that little add on. Miyamoto on cowbell: E3 needs more of that. Dead Rising on the Wii: Excellent. LoZ: Yay. Kid Icarus: Yay. MadWorld: Yay! ^_^ Kirby: Yay! ^_^ Sony's Press Conference: LIES AND FALSE PROMISES! Title: Re: E3 2008 Topic Post by: Chron on 16 July 2008, 20:48:37 I think rapid fire makes it even easier than charged shot. But it looks nowhere NEAR as cool. Title: Re: E3 2008 Topic Post by: ASR on 16 July 2008, 21:25:33 Is Dead Rising for Wii just a direct port? I'm sure they're adding some motion-control nonsense. Anyway, that was a great game, but even though I don't really care for Achievements on XBOX360, those were a very important part of the game. I don't know how it'll work on the Wii.
Title: Re: E3 2008 Topic Post by: Chron on 16 July 2008, 23:39:53 ... why do people struggle to unlock achievements when they don't DO anything?
Title: Re: E3 2008 Topic Post by: NovaMan XP on 17 July 2008, 00:12:24 I couldn't care less about achievements myself... unless you unlocked stuff in-game for getting them of course. But I think I've seen only one game that's done that.
Title: Re: E3 2008 Topic Post by: ASR on 17 July 2008, 00:13:54 Like I said, I don't care for Achievements, but for Dead Rising, they were literally part of the game. All the stuff you could unlock in-game had to do with Achievements, like the Mega Buster.
It just seemed to be a part of the game. I think it's the only 360 game where I ever opened up the Achievements menu. Title: Re: E3 2008 Topic Post by: Abominator on 17 July 2008, 00:17:05 But it could work just with a checklist rather than actually being part of one's gaming account, so to speak.
Title: Re: E3 2008 Topic Post by: SB on 17 July 2008, 00:21:09 Wait, where's this LoZ and Kid Icarus stuff that Sano speaks of?
Also, HURRAY! New Red Faction game! BOOYAH! Title: Re: E3 2008 Topic Post by: Speed Racer on 17 July 2008, 00:34:05 Holy ##### the Too Human demo rocks! IT'S SO AWESOME!
My prediction of "Advent Rising on steroids" was pretty spot-on...I LOVE THIS GAME! *fapfapfapfapfapfapfap* Title: Re: E3 2008 Topic Post by: ASR on 17 July 2008, 02:10:18 But it could work just with a checklist rather than actually being part of one's gaming account, so to speak. True. They might take that approach, they might not. Either way, it's cool that people who didn't get to play it before will have the chance to do so on the Wii, it was a fun game. Also, yeah, what's this about Kid Icarus? Title: Re: E3 2008 Topic Post by: Chron on 17 July 2008, 03:26:07 I HOPE it's not a remake of the first.
Holy ##### the Too Human demo rocks! IT'S SO AWESOME! I... I wanted to work with those guys ): They never responded. Title: Re: E3 2008 Topic Post by: Vinchenz Rock on 17 July 2008, 06:15:12 Also, yeah, what's this about Kid Icarus? Miyamoto pretty much confirmed it when IGN asked about it. It's in the first post, under "News Stories." Anyways, there was a secret conference hosted by Nintendo. It was pretty much just more detailed information about Animal Crossing, Wii Sports Resort, and Wii Music. Animal Crossing sounds even more awesome now, and you can visit your town from Wild World and vise versa, by the sounds of it. Not sure if you can port items, though because Kodam said "No", Joystik said, "Yes", and IGN didn't even say anything about it. Wii Sports Resort looks pretty good with the Wii MotionPlus, and the Jet Skiing game is said to surpass the Wave Race games. Wii Music... is pretty much one of those toys were you press the button and it plays the note of that song until the song is done... except with 60+ instruments. Only the drum set is a real instrument simulation, but you need the Wii Board for that... I posted the link with this information in the first post if anyone's interested. Also, Pikmin 3 was announced there, right before it finished. No other information, though. Posted on: 16 July 2008, 22:56:19 Updated first post with CastleVania: Judgement videos and Guitar Hero 4 videos. For Guitar Hero 4, the videos play one by one. Just let it play until the last video is played. Title: Re: E3 2008 Topic Post by: Chron on 17 July 2008, 13:44:52 That Castlevania thing?
It looks awful in play. Horribly awful. Just as I suspected. Title: Re: E3 2008 Topic Post by: Vinchenz Rock on 17 July 2008, 19:18:11 But-But... 99 HIT COMBO!
Title: Re: E3 2008 Topic Post by: XJ on 17 July 2008, 19:27:41 I'm sorry, but that's failure.
Because it's not OVER 9000!!!!!! Title: Re: E3 2008 Topic Post by: Lunchebox on 18 July 2008, 01:50:00 ... why do people struggle to unlock achievements when they don't DO anything? It's more that the game is setting goals, that's all. Like how in olden days people would brag about getting through a game without dying, or getting every item, or beating it in X amount of time. Basically, stuff like that. Title: Re: E3 2008 Topic Post by: Chron on 18 July 2008, 02:07:15 But you don't get anything.
Title: Re: E3 2008 Topic Post by: XJ on 18 July 2008, 02:46:47 You get bragging rights. But meh, that's overlooked in society today. No one believes you unless you have proof, most notably a vid on YouTube of you doing it.
Title: Re: E3 2008 Topic Post by: Mikero on 18 July 2008, 06:17:35 I find achievements to be completely... Not "dumb" but... Like.. Well you get it.
I understand them, but it's not for me. It makes playing GTA4 with my friend annoying, because he's JUST dork enough to have a facebook app that shows when he gets new achievements and stupid BS like that. Gaytown. Protip: He's never played Megaman. It's my favourite kind of shot. Better than liquid cocaine. Title: Re: E3 2008 Topic Post by: Chron on 18 July 2008, 14:17:13 ... now I have the origin story for the charge shot.
Light: "Oh, hey Cossack ol' buddy ol' pal. Wanna help me throw back a few shots?" Cossack: "Why sure, comrade. We shall throw shots. Lots of shots! Big Russian shots!" Light: "Hahahaha... ha... hmm." Cossack: "... hmm." And then they got drunk and created the charge shot, and after drinking that then they created the one they jammed on Megaman. Title: Re: E3 2008 Topic Post by: Vinchenz Rock on 20 July 2008, 01:03:07 So, um, er... Wii gets an exclusive Sonic game?

Guumm? You don't know a good Duke Nukem impression when you read it, nerdogram. Title: Re: Upcomming Games Topic Post by: Vinchenz Rock on 26 July 2008, 01:25:27 Since E3's over, I changed the topc title to "Upcomming Games Topic."
I request everyone to post new games (unless they're HUGE new games) in this topic. I've also updated the first post, hid the E3 stuff, and made a list. When a game from that list comes out, I'll make a new hide thing about released games. I also added Captain Rainbow to the mix. Captain Rainbow is a new Nintendo IP. Title: Re: Upcomming Games Topic Post by: ASR on 26 July 2008, 02:12:54 Change it to "Upcoming Games Topic", since there's only one "M" in that word.
I think it's good to have certain games get their own threads, but this general one is an okay idea. Title: Re: Upcomming Games Topic Post by: NovaMan XP on 26 July 2008, 02:16:26 lol comming
And I remember there used to be threads for each system and then everyone posted new game info in the right thread and such, but this alright too I guess. Title: Re: Upcomming Games Topic Post by: Mikero on 26 July 2008, 02:54:27 Your signature makes me think you DON'T think this is alright too.
Title: Re: Upcomming Games Topic Post by: NovaMan XP on 26 July 2008, 02:56:03 Should I change it to "Yes" then?
Title: Re: Upcomming Games Topic Post by: Mikero on 26 July 2008, 03:05:16 I think your signature just answered that question.
Title: Re: Upcomming Games Topic Post by: Vinchenz Rock on 26 July 2008, 03:23:03 Change it to "Upcoming Games Topic", since there's only one "M" in that word. Grah. Damn it, I was taught as a kid that a consonant between two vowels has to be doubled and now I'm screwed up at this point because I keep forgetting which words don't get double consonants. Like, look, forgetting, the "T" is doubled there. x_x I think it's good to have certain games get their own threads, but this general one is an okay idea. Yeah, that's what I was going for. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Mikero on 26 July 2008, 04:23:17 Uhm, I've never heard that "a consonant between two vowels has to be doubled" in my life. Do you know how many words that would mess with in this post (so far) alone?
I'vve, nevver, consonnant, vowwels, liffe, manny (sometimes?), and here's the kicker; allonne. Wowzers. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: ASR on 26 July 2008, 04:34:22 Is that not how you spell "allonne"?
Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Vinchenz Rock on 26 July 2008, 04:36:44 Uhm, I've never heard that "a consonant between two vowels has to be doubled" in my life. Do you know how many words that would mess with in this post (so far) alone? Well, I never thought of it that way... but yeah, I was taught something like that, anyway. It still screws me up from time to time and I probably will never learn. Believe me, I've tried. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: ASR on 26 July 2008, 04:37:25 Whoevver taught you was an iddiot.

Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: ASR on 26 July 2008, 05:11:59 Anyway, the only upcoming game I'm really interested in aside from MegaMan 9 right now is Wario Land: Shake It.
I think it could be really fun, and I loved the old games. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Majikn on 26 July 2008, 05:27:22 HAHHAHHAHHAHHAHHAHHA you guys arre funny.
I like what it does to sommettimmes. But enough of that... I think they're making a... Megaman 9? It's weird, I know. And it's news. And I mean new news. No one's posted ANYTHING about this yet. Not a thing. And no, that bat-thing has not been flapping beside MMM General Forum on my screen for several weeks. It hasn't. And ASR didn't just mention it. This is not a joke. So whoever the ##### (CAPS) decided to post questions about MM9 and whether or not it exists, get your UNWIPED #####-ENCRUSTED ASS OVER TO MMM GENERAL FORUM AND USE AT LEAST ONE OF YOUR GODDAMN EYES. THIS IS A SERIOUS #####ING POST. ... I had some M&Ms... *cough* SO. New gaaaames. :):):):D There was that Wario one that ASR also mentioned where the guy was picking his nose in the intro video on YouTube and I was like "Ew" And then I went to get FFIV (which was released recently) almost purely because Rez was like "Get this game" and they were like "I can't sell this yet" and they were almost extremely apologetic about it; I must have looked like I was going to kill them over it but I didn't... really... care. I'll just get it another day. The guy was just like "Look, man, see? I can't sell it. Look what it says on the screen. I can't do anything about it. I'm sorry. It's not me, man, it's the rules. I don't even know what the price is. I can't sell it." I hadn't even said anything before the excuses started foaming out of his mouth and it was oh so delicious. I like foam. I say "I like foam" because I think it will make you laugh but I secretly realize I am going to be severely disappointed (to the point of tears) the next time I check out the topic because I'm just not funny and it hurts my self-esteem and I question why I bother living and spilling blood no longer feels satisfying. Anyway I was like "Okay, thanks." and walked away. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Mikero on 26 July 2008, 06:10:35 I vote this thread should be renamed to "Upcomming Gammes Toppic".
Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Voulnet on 26 July 2008, 09:37:28 So I was playing Soul Cailbur 4 yesterday, the shops in Kuwait don't care about release date, they just take the game from the port to the shelves, haha.
You losers wait until the release date. The game is #####ing smoooth, man. Oh, but I didn't buy it, I got it for free, haha. Title: Re: Upcomming Games Topic Post by: Abominator on 26 July 2008, 10:41:42 Captain Rainbow is a new Nintendo IP. How much do I hate phrases like "DLC" and when IGN talks about "a new IP". UuuUUUuuuUUuGH. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Voulnet on 26 July 2008, 15:02:43 Why put up with this #####? Ban him.
Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: ASR on 26 July 2008, 16:11:20 I vote this thread should be renamed to "Upcomming Gammes Toppic". Seconded. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Mikero on 26 July 2008, 16:42:59 So I was playing Soul Cailbur 4 yesterday, the shops in Kuwait don't care about release date, they just take the game from the port to the shelves, haha. MEH. I'm still exploring SC3, and I'm OK with that. Captain Rainbow is a new Nintendo IP.How much do I hate phrases like "DLC" and when IGN talks about "a new IP". What is the "new IP" thing supposed to mean, anyway? Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: ASR on 26 July 2008, 16:53:35 It means like a new 1st-party franchise to tote around like Animal Crossing and Pikmin each were.
Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Chron on 26 July 2008, 20:30:53 Intellectual property.
It's a stupid legalese term. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Mikero on 26 July 2008, 20:55:48 OK I get the meaning, that's fine. Nothing really wrong with calling it "a new intellectual property" I guess, but "a new IP"? That is incredibly lame.
Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Fatso on 26 July 2008, 21:09:16 They were IP-banned, so they had to refresh it. That's all.
Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: ASR on 26 July 2008, 21:13:16 Do dogs count as IP?
Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Chron on 26 July 2008, 21:14:32 Incontinent Property?
Yes. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Mikero on 26 July 2008, 21:29:55 I'd prefer Ionic Propulsion.
That sentence was just IPIP. And you just said "I pee" twice in your head. Title: Re: Upcomming Games Topic Post by: Vinchenz Rock on 28 July 2008, 00:18:35 How much do I hate phrases like "DLC" and when IGN talks about "a new IP". Ehh, sorry, I'll just stick to calling it a new series. Title: Re: Upcomming Gammes Toppic Post by: ASR on 28 July 2008, 01:48:13 But then you don't sound smart!
Title: Re: Upcomming Gammes Toppic Post by: Johncarllos on 28 July 2008, 02:45:20 Topic title= win right now.
Title: Re: Upcomming Gammes Toppic Post by: ASR on 28 July 2008, 02:50:28 Agreed.
Title: Re: Upcomming Gammes Toppic Post by: Vinchenz Rock on 28 July 2008, 02:53:18 STOP MAKKING FUN OF THE THINGS I WRONGFULLY LEARNED
Title: Re: Upcomming Gammes Toppic Post by: ChaosVortex on 28 July 2008, 19:23:21 WELLCOME TO MMMM.
Title: Re: Upcomming Gammes Toppic Post by: Slugkid on 28 July 2008, 19:53:32 Heh, the MegaMManMatrix.
Title: Re: Upcomming Gammes Toppic Post by: ASR on 28 July 2008, 20:17:35 Both you and Chaos failed completely.
And for the record, it would be MeggaMman Matrix If that's how you choose to format the title, at least. It could alternatively be Megga Man Matrix Anyway, the joke's getting played out, so shush and quit it. Title: Re: Upcomming Gammes Toppic Post by: Mikero on 28 July 2008, 23:52:54 It's formatted as MegaMan Matrix by Abe, if you just look at your browser window, so I think there is no choice on how you want to format the name.
Title: Re: Upcomming Gammes Toppic Post by: ASR on 28 July 2008, 23:54:39 Alright, but dogs can look up!
Title: Re: Upcomming Gammes Toppic Post by: Mikero on 28 July 2008, 23:55:22 Top left.
Title: Re: Upcomming Gammes Toppic Post by: ChaosVortex on 29 July 2008, 00:30:43 Both you and Chaos failed completely. Figured I would've. Told you I suck. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Slugkid on 29 July 2008, 00:56:28 But it makes us both suck less because we are two, right?
... Right? Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Mikero on 29 July 2008, 04:32:27 No, this is addition, not multiplication. You just make more suck together.
Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Slugkid on 29 July 2008, 05:29:41 MEANIE :'(!
Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Mikero on 29 July 2008, 05:31:44 That's Professor Meanie, to you.
Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: The Otaku on 29 July 2008, 06:38:52 I'm looking forward to Tom Clancy's End War. Though I don't have a 360, my cousin always brings his over so we can shoot it up on Halo or rock it out on Rock Band, and I think TCEW would be a great addition to out afternoon/evening/midnight activities. The online play is supposed to be good; an ongoing World War III among the US, Europe, and Russia. Once the side you've supported wins or loses, a new war is started up. The voice command is said to be better and more efficient than Halo's. Plus the whole concept is great itself. I'm a huge war junkie. Hence all the Heil Hitler crap.
Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Captain Sanoguchi on 29 July 2008, 06:43:40 That's Professor Meanie, to you. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Johncarllos on 29 July 2008, 14:17:18 Great file name.
Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Mikero on 29 July 2008, 22:32:01 Yeah I don't watch Youtube poop because I have a working brain, so anytime someone makes Mama Luigi or whatever reference, I don't care or get it or care to get it.
Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Majikn on 29 July 2008, 23:27:58 There's nothing to get, anyway. It's just a reference to the lame show.
Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: ChaosVortex on 1 August 2008, 04:28:06 The Mama Luigi fad isn't even funny.
But "Mama Lugi" was hilarious. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Johncarllos on 1 August 2008, 04:56:45 I looked up Mama Lugi and got a youtube video of naked anime man dancing.
You are not family friendly. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Mikero on 1 August 2008, 04:58:09 Mama Lugi was how it was spelled in some arse's sig here. The person was very very stupid and even though I showed them the correct spelling of Luigi they still failed to GRASP what was wrong with their signature.
Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Johncarllos on 1 August 2008, 05:03:26 Oh.
Okay. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: preventerWIND on 1 August 2008, 05:15:58 Mama Lugi was how it was spelled in some arse's sig here. The person was very very stupid and even though I showed them the correct spelling of Luigi they still failed to GRASP what was wrong with their signature. Thats because she was one of them. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: ChaosVortex on 1 August 2008, 05:56:50 I looked up Mama Lugi and got a youtube video of naked anime man dancing. Yeah. I wasn't talking about Youtube. I was talking about what Mike said. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Vinchenz Rock on 15 August 2008, 20:17:44 TIME FOR A TOPIC REVIVAL
New game from Suda 51 and that guy who made the Resident Evil games (Sano will be happy about this). Interview here. (http://www.1up.com/do/newsStory?cId=3169360) Not sure what system its for yet, and theres no title. Posted on: 15 August 2008, 15:14:37 Also, Kore (http://www.destructoid.com/kore-a-six-year-old-unreleased-xbox-game-revived-for-the-wii-99716.phtml), a six year old Xbox game revived for the Wii- said to have a Psychonauts feel and look. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Captain Sanoguchi on 15 August 2008, 21:59:39 Wait, Suda and Mikami?
What about Suda and Hideo doing Project S together? EA'd better just be providing money. But it sounds like EA is going to water down Suda's artistic visions, this makes me sad. Travis? Travis!? Traaaaaaaaaaavis!! Yeah, it'd be neat to have another Travis. Yeah, anyway I have mixed feeling about this. It sounds like Suda is going to stay true to his moral of 'Punk's Not Dead' and I guess it'll be dramatic like always. Sadly, I fear that Suda is going to try and do things his way but EA and Mikami are going to weigh him down. I mean, after what Mikami's cool and all, but sometimes he's just kind of... Bleh. My biggest fear is the EA is going to ruin everything and gobble up GHM. Seriously, EA's becoming too powerful. They're trying to take over the videogame world. Now it seems Suda is going to join the victims of EA's power hungry Pac-attack. I guess I'm a tad excited that Suda is doing stuff, but I'm still a tad worried. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Someguy on 16 August 2008, 01:19:25 Not sure what system its for yet, and theres no title. I've been reading that it's going to go on all 3 current gen systems, I unno if it's true or not though. Sounds like something EA would do though Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Abominator on 17 August 2008, 14:33:11 New Batman that doesn't look rubbish:
http://www.the-magicbox.com/0808/game080814d4.shtml Although it's being made by British people... Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: ASR on 19 August 2008, 21:38:21 http://www.destructoid.com/pre-order-banjo-kazooie-nuts-bolts-get-banjo-kazooie-on-xbla-for-free-100283.phtml
This could be the first time I pre-order a game in a long time. As much as I'd rather play Banjo-Kazooie on the Wii's VC, that's never going to happen, so this is instead the best news that can be given to me concerning that N64 gem and it's upcoming threequel. For those who don't want to click: if you pre-order the new Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts, you get a redeemable XBOX Live Arcade code to download the original Banjo-Kazooie for FREE weeks before it's even available on XBLA for purchase. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Abominator on 19 August 2008, 21:40:59 Banjo Kazooie reeks of old egg.
Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: ASR on 19 August 2008, 21:43:39 Oh, shush. BK and BT were fantastic and wonderful additions to the N64 library. They're both among my favorite games.
Though I can't say I'm too excited for the new game. I have plenty of doubts. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Mikero on 19 August 2008, 22:36:17 I really liked the first one. It's one of the few "Adventure" games I actually own AND have completed (::looks at Luigi's Mansion::). I only played Tooie a bit, and wasn't much of a fan. Ditching Banjo and being Kazooie was OK, I guess.
Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: saldite on 19 August 2008, 22:58:08 Since we're talking about it, here's a gameplay video of BK: Nuts and Bolts.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3hJfTQ2dBZA&fmt=18 (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3hJfTQ2dBZA&fmt=18) Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: ASR on 21 August 2008, 05:43:41 The problem with BK3 is that it's focusing on the one thing that's been turning me away from games lately: too much complexity and customization.
Don't get me wrong, I love customization. I ate MM:PU's Construction Mode up. It's just, the menus all look so complicated and annoying and there's too MANY possibilities and it's TOO open and stuff like that. I like simplicity in my video games. Pick up and play, but not shallow. Super Mario Galaxy was a good example of a recent-ish game that worked perfectly for me. Although it's really not that recent anymore. The original Banjo-Kazooie was open just enough, and straightforward enough to keep me well-paced and interested. Nuts & Bolts just looks like way too much, but I'll give it a try. Posted on: 19 August 2008, 23:50:58 Also, this game called Mirror's Edge looks pretty awesome. http://www.destructoid.com/mirror-s-edge-gameplay-footage-now-in-glorious-color--100486.phtml Watching that video, it feels like a true FPS platformer. Very linear and fast-paced, perfect for me. I hate slowing down in games that have like a million branches and pathways because I feel like it's necessary to try them ALL. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Slugkid on 21 August 2008, 14:45:19 I do exactly the same. I always feel like I can't beat the last boss without having a 99,9% of the map(1% being the boss) and getting all powerups and stuff...
Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: ASR on 21 August 2008, 15:38:47 I love linear games because I can just play them. That's it. Super Metroid is about the furthest I'll go from linear, and that's still pretty linear compared to some games today.
Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Vinchenz Rock on 22 August 2008, 02:17:49 Couldn't find the VC topic...
http://gonintendo.com/?p=53441 Europe and Australia is getting Super Mario Bros. 2: The Lost Coins (J) again... AND Super Mario RPG. Rejoice. I don't think Super Mario RPG ever came out officially in Europe/Australia. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: ChaosVortex on 22 August 2008, 02:47:22 Both of those sound good.
I never got far in Super Mario RPG. I want it over here nao. EDIT: Wait, that's just Lost Levels again. I already have that. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: ASR on 22 August 2008, 08:09:55 Haha, The Lost Coins.
Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Vinchenz Rock on 22 August 2008, 08:13:04 Haha, The SHUTURFACEASR Coins.
Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: ASR on 22 August 2008, 08:22:23 It's funny because the coins are never hidden!
Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: NovaMan XP on 22 August 2008, 22:02:56 I'm still waiting on EarthBound... *sigh*
Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Mikero on 24 August 2008, 00:07:04 EarthBound would be one of few games I might theoretically possibly kind of buy on VC. But buying a game on VC means I only might theoretically possibly kind of own the game.
It's funny because the coins are never hidden! Or lost. Mario's wallet must be a gateway to a pocket dimension or something. How can he hold so many coins without dropping any? What does he do with them? Why doesn't he roll them? Why doesn't he use bills like normal humans? Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: preventerWIND on 24 August 2008, 00:10:09 Because he's Canadian, Mike.
Coins = Loonies wait.. I'm Canadian.. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Mikero on 24 August 2008, 00:18:17 Coins do not EQUAL Loonies. Loonies are coins, but coins aren't necessarily Loonies you poobum.
I like to think that they actually all just pennies in Mario games, and everything costs very little because everything you can buy in any given Mario game is pretty much just junk you can find outside like turtle shells, non-hallucinogenic mushrooms, feathers, and leaves. I like to think the Mushroom Kingdom lives in devastating poverty. I mean, Bowser kidnapped the Princess in Mario 64 so he could get the cake she was baking for Mario. Because he's starving. Because the country is dirt poor. I blame the schools. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: ASR on 24 August 2008, 05:06:52 I like that view on it. And Mario's pocket is the TARDIS!
Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Mikero on 24 August 2008, 06:33:23 He wishes.
Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Snare on 2 September 2008, 15:15:11 The princess' castle is really made out of lincoln logs.
Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: ASR on 2 September 2008, 15:52:49 Also the occasional LEGO brick.
Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Mikero on 2 September 2008, 22:09:48 They wishes.
(Yes wishes!) Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Edgecrusher on 5 September 2008, 03:02:13 Games I've got Pre-ordered:
Bioshock Castlevania: Order of Ecclesia Chrono Trigger Dead Space Eternal Sonata Fallout 3 God of War (3) LEGO Batman Mirror's Edge Prince of Persia Prototype Resident Evil 5 Resistance 2 Shin Megami Tensei: Persona 4 Silent Hill Homecoming Star Wars: The Force Unleashed Tales of Symphonia: Dawn of the New World Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Johncarllos on 5 September 2008, 03:06:59 Did you win a pile of money or something?
Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Edgecrusher on 5 September 2008, 03:14:34 I work for Gamestop. That has a lot to do with it.
Also, I stopped drinking, so there's a fairly sizable sum of money that can go elsewhere. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: ASR on 5 September 2008, 03:17:02 I dare say excessive gaming is another affliction you may be suffering from.
Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Edgecrusher on 5 September 2008, 03:23:59 I wish that were true. I rarely have the time to play games anymore.
Of course, that makes my list even more unreasonable. Fun Fact: I'm extremely picky about my game collection. There isn't a single "Players Choice" or "Best Seller" title on my shelves. The different case colors ##### up the aesthetic uniformity that I have going. I also don't buy used games, since I like my cases/sleeves/inserts/discs to be pristine. As a result, I buy games that I know I'll eventually want to play, that way I can avoid the second pressing cases. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: ASR on 5 September 2008, 03:28:56 I'm the same way with some things, so I have to shut up now.
Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Mikero on 5 September 2008, 04:05:07 I've too many games to CATCH UP on before I get upcoming #####. And I won't be able to start catching up until like next weekend.
Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: ASR on 5 September 2008, 05:03:32 There's so many games I've wanted to play that I haven't played that I effectively just gave up on playing new games.
Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: TheRedPriest on 5 September 2008, 15:24:25 I wish that were true. I rarely have the time to play games anymore. Oh, I'm there with you. I have none of that greatest hits #####. Though I will buy used, the packaging itself must at least be in good shape. I've pulled many a used game out of the shot case and put it into a new/newer one before. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Xzeemo on 5 September 2008, 15:46:51 I usually am not too picky about the cases, the 360's "best of" cases suck, they shrink the games cover image and then place a grey window around it. It's terrible. But otherwise, I really don't care if its like a PS2 game that is a bestseller, they just add that little tab at the top. Do the DS or Wii have any best sellers games? I don't think I've ever seen one.
Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Fatso on 5 September 2008, 16:04:20 Konami released a Bestseller cart for Dawn of Sorrow.
Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: NovaMan XP on 5 September 2008, 22:55:28 Yeah, the Dead Rising I bought has the retarded "Platinum Hits" thing covering it. I hate it.
I actually have no "Greatest Hits" games for the PS2, but I do have MMX4 on the PSX with the greatest hits label. They change the #####ing disc from shiny blue to a dull white. Ugh. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: ASR on 6 September 2008, 06:47:23 My Dead Rising case is the original one.
I really liked that game the first time I played it, but I never beat it. I might go back and finish it sometime. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Mikero on 6 September 2008, 06:49:30 I don't buy any of that #####, whether you call it "Greatest Hits", "Players' Choice", or whatever. They just look stupid. I buy used if I HAVE to, though.
Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Vinchenz Rock on 6 September 2008, 06:53:33 I never cared if it said Greatest Hits or Players Choice on my cases.
Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Mikero on 6 September 2008, 06:57:45 WELL YOU'RE WRONG.
Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Vinchenz Rock on 6 September 2008, 07:20:18 My life is a meaningless ruin.
Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Johncarllos on 6 September 2008, 13:18:21 I never cared if it said Greatest Hits or Players Choice on my cases. It makes you look like you jump on the bandwagon AFTER everyone else has determined that it's a good game. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Majikn on 6 September 2008, 16:01:43 So what? If people are going to judge you for wanting to play a game and it happens to have a certain label on it, ##### them.
And even if you do jump on the bandwagon and only buy games with a certain special label, whatever. Video games are for your personal enjoyment and most people are smart enough to recognize that, mauling tent aside. It's not like any intelligent person would look at your collection, see the labels on the video games and automatically assume you parade them around like a poseur, being all "Yeah, I'm a hardcore gamer. I'm good at videogames. Look at all the awesome Player's Choice games that I have." You know what I mean? No one's going to care enough to make that assumption, and if they do, they're probably stupid. One guy was trying to call me out as a Nintendo fanboy once and I was like "He really wants to start this out of the blue? Honestly." And I just told him I'm not biased for or against Nintendo, and he didn't know what bias meant so that ended the conversation really quickly. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: ChaosVortex on 6 September 2008, 16:12:29 One of the many things that peeve me, and I know it peeves others.
So what? If people are going to judge you for wanting to play a game and it happens to have a certain label on it, ##### them. *cough*MegaMan*cough*Yu-Gi-Oh!*cough* Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Mikero on 6 September 2008, 17:31:10 No one is talking about titles, CV. No one is even talking about judging someone for HAVING Player's Choice games. Most of us are just saying we don't like them because they aren't aesthetically pleasing at all. I doubt anyone gives two #####s if someone ELSE buys games with Player's Choice labels on them, they just don't but them for their own collections.
But, if YOU want to talk about judging based on what games you like to play, I could say some stuff about Yu-Gi-Oh if you really want me to. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: ASR on 6 September 2008, 18:40:27 It's stupid! And stuff!
Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Edgecrusher on 6 September 2008, 19:58:51 I'm guilty of judging people based on what games they play.
For example, if you think Halo is the greatest game ever and it's all you play, I assume you don't know what the ##### you're talking about, and I'll likely blame you for how completely bland games have become. However, if you think Halo is the greatest game ever and you have a broad range of titles in your library, I'm more likely to take you seriously. ...though I'll still weep on the inside. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Mikero on 6 September 2008, 23:19:58 For example, if you think Halo is the greatest game ever and it's all you play, I assume you don't know what the ##### you're talking about, and I'll likely blame you for how completely bland games have become. Same. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Majikn on 7 September 2008, 01:27:42 That's a tiny bit unfortunate. I was actually going to add a part mentioning people who go around SAYING "Such and such game is the best game ever" because what I actually said in my post wasn't meant to apply to those people. Naturally if someone says "Halo was the best game ever" they probably don't know what they're talking about so feel free to call them out.
Mike, I was only responding to JC's post, basically saying why I thought that someone shouldn't be refusing to buy "Player's Choice" or whatever games for fear of how it makes you look. If I had a problem with you preferring the look of normal games over "specially" labelled games, I'd have said something regarding that, but I really don't, so I said nothing. Even though I don't feel the same way as you, but that's okay. Edge: I'm sure there are problems regarding the quality of games these days, true. I don't just blame the average gamer—I blame things that shouldn't be mentioned here as well—but I see where you're coming from. What I mean is just if I want to PLAY a game, no matter what it is, I don't have to advocate it. Sometimes I find enjoyment out of things that are... okay. For example I liked playing FF7. I paid a small sum of money for it a long while back (naturally when I was much younger) and I recognize that it has flaws, but if I enjoy it, I enjoy it. I suppose you could call me selfish in a way for contributing to its success, but that's about the only judgement I can reasonably accept. (I bought FF7 used so I don't think I actually made much of a contribution if any, but it's an example.) If it's any consolation though I've been MUCH more selective about games I buy these days. I'd like to think my "taste" is improving. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Mikero on 7 September 2008, 03:17:48 Mike, I was only responding to JC's post, basically saying why I thought that someone shouldn't be refusing to buy "Player's Choice" or whatever games for fear of how it makes you look.

Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Majikn on 7 September 2008, 03:46:09 Oh okay, I thought part of it was directed at me.
Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: ChaosVortex on 7 September 2008, 03:46:53 I don't recall me every mentioning anything about Player's choice.
When Majikn mentioned that, all it did was just make me remember all the junk people tell me about games like Mega Man, Yu-Gi-Oh!, and maybe Mario and other "child-themed" games. Stuff like "You should play Halo! Gears of War! Some other random bloody FPS." You can diss Yu-Gi-Oh! if you want. I like the game, half-way like the anime. I'm a fan of it no doubt. I won't deny it, but just like how I don't like certain things about Mega Man, I don't like certain things in Yu-Gi-Oh! If you want to bash something that's actually worthwhile to hear than just say "You play Yu-Gay-Ho!" and make some idiotic comment, then I assume you don't know what you're talking about. Otherwise, bash away. Chances are, I might just nod my head and agree. And also, I'm guilty with Edge a tiny bit with Halo. I knew it was popular, so I tried it out. I hated it. I don't get why people like it. I just... don't. I can't comprehend it. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Edgecrusher on 7 September 2008, 03:49:37 My point was only that I don't have respect for people who endorse mediocrity as anything OTHER than mediocrity.
I also blame the propaganda/hype monster that is Microsoft. Granted, hype has always been a part of video games. Mario Bros. 3 had it's own movie to hype it. Difference being, back then, the games usually lived up to what they promised. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Johncarllos on 7 September 2008, 03:50:02 I enjoy the game Halo because it has tight controls.
I used to play with my buddy Joe all the time, that's how I got to like it. Fun multiplayer. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Edgecrusher on 7 September 2008, 04:17:36 I got the PvP FPS thing out of my system playing Quake (and to a lesser extent, Goldeneye) when I was younger. Since then, it's been pure "meh"
Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Majikn on 7 September 2008, 05:03:55 I enjoyed Goldeneye, haha.
Anyway I understand your point, I guess I was just self-analyzing and directing it at you for some reason. The only FPS I've ever bought was Metroid Prime 3. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Mikero on 7 September 2008, 05:19:37 Goldeneye rules to this day.
Oh okay, I thought part of it was directed at me. I don't recall me every mentioning anything about Player's choice. Right, I was just clarifying the actual focus of what we were discussing. I wasn't out to bash anyone or anything or any game such as Yu-Gi-Oh. The end bit of my post was just a little quip to round out what I was saying. Yeesh. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: ChaosVortex on 7 September 2008, 05:21:47 I know, but you made made a sort of statement like I don't wanna hear anyone bashing what I like. I actually welcome it if it's intelligent. Naturally.
Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Vinchenz Rock on 7 September 2008, 05:25:58 Goldeneye rules to this day. Yes, and Perfect Dark. The best FPS games ever. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Fatso on 7 September 2008, 07:17:34 I disagree with you on that and cite Jedi Knight and Half-Life 2 as my examples, but yes, Perfect Dark does kick a fair amount of ass.
Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Majikn on 7 September 2008, 08:27:36 OKAY, SO YOU CLARIFIED. AND NOW IT'S GOOD. WE'RE GOOD. WE'RE ALL CALM AND CHILLING THE ##### OUT.
#####ING GOD. (kidding, but for the record I wasn't upset or anything before so it's all good) I feel some strange need to play Jet Force Gemini. I hope they put it on VC. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Mikero on 7 September 2008, 22:57:45 Now I want to play that too.
But not for long. I really didn't get into it as madly as others, of course I didn't own it so there's that. I never played Perfect Dark and never cared to. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: ASR on 7 September 2008, 23:14:08 Same as Mike. Like, that could've been my post.
Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: preventerWIND on 7 September 2008, 23:45:19 ITS LIKE YOUR KINDRED SPIRITS
Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Mikero on 8 September 2008, 04:29:50 'It's like we finish each other's--'
"Sandwiches?" 'Sentences. Why would I say--' "Sandwiches?" '... That time I was going to say sandwiches.' :-) Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Ikeoko on 12 September 2008, 13:52:58 I CAN'T WAIT FOR HARVEST MOON TO COME ON ON THE WII GAH!
But they keep setting back the release date and it's getting me mad. D:< Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Mikero on 15 September 2008, 03:31:42 I find newer harvest moon games suckier and suckier and it's best on handheld. But I still might rent this one to try it.
Posted on: 13 September 2008, 15:36:31 All the animation I've seen of the new Star Wars game, "Force Unleashed" is the subbest par. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Edgecrusher on 15 September 2008, 14:30:02 That actually sums the game up well.
Massively disappointed in it. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: ASR on 15 September 2008, 14:47:01 Not that I would have bought it, since I have about a million other games I'd rather buy first, but what little I saw of that game actually looked pretty cool.
Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Fatso on 15 September 2008, 16:02:51 As an old-school Jedi Knight fan I was disappointed from the very first time I saw any of it.
What happened to LucasArts to stop the flow of awesomeness anyway? Until five years ago or so they could do no wrong (Force Commander and Galactic Battlegrounds notwithstanding) and now I'm just not interested. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Edgecrusher on 15 September 2008, 18:10:55 As an old-school Jedi Knight fan I was disappointed from the very first time I saw any of it. Actually, if you take into account their entire history as a gaming company, their track record isn't nearly as good as you're making it sound. And yeah SWtFU looked neat, but it gets really old, really quickly. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Mikero on 15 September 2008, 22:37:36 The movement just makes me not want to play it alone. Like in the commercial, the kid's eyes go totally weird when he looks up at Vader and really everything else just moves like rusty tin.
Not having played the game or seen the movie I'm about to mention, I have to put the animation in Force Unleashed on par with that Clone Wars movie which reportedly (and obviously, if you've seen the trailer) is animated like ##### with nothing having decent texture. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: MOX on 16 September 2008, 03:25:05 I downloaded the demo for SWtFU last week. Played it just for about 5 minutes, it's okay.
TBH the only Star Wars game I've played and owned in my life was Podracer on the N64. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: ASR on 16 September 2008, 03:45:09 It's beyond me how that game got so popular. All my friends had it.
Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: MOX on 16 September 2008, 05:06:24 It was the first game I got for the N64, dad got it for me as a bundle with the N64 as a gift.
Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Mikero on 16 September 2008, 05:19:13 Rogue Squadron (the first one, N64), now THAT was a game.
Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Vinchenz Rock on 16 September 2008, 05:26:19 Rogue Squadron (the first one, N64), now THAT was a game. Yes. The Dragon Quest IV remake comes out today for the DS, for those who are interested (none of you, lol). Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Fatso on 16 September 2008, 05:26:49 If you played that and not X-Wing or TIE Fighter I feel sorry for you. I really do. Rogue Squadron was pretty good but either of those games could easily blow it out of the water.
Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Mikero on 17 September 2008, 02:47:51 I played them but never owned them. They were good and all too with that charming old polygonal new 3D of the early 90's and stuff but I couldn't get invested in them at all. Rogue Squadron was something else completely. It had the single best Death Star trench level I've ever played ever ever.
Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: ChaosVortex on 17 September 2008, 03:28:57 I don't play Star Wars games. They never really appealed to me.
Screw you George Lucas. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Abominator on 17 September 2008, 13:55:14 Phantasy Star Zero for DS looks PHANTASTY HA HA:
http://the-magicbox.com/0809/game080914c.shtml Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Vinchenz Rock on 17 September 2008, 14:13:22 I like how you can draw what you want to say.
I just hope that its better than PSU... Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Johncarllos on 17 September 2008, 15:02:55 Like anybody takes time during a game to draw like that.

Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: NovaMan XP on 18 September 2008, 02:22:21 I've haven't laughed this hard since I saw those CD-I games.
Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Johncarllos on 18 September 2008, 02:44:19 I wanna see the gameplay.
Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: preventerWIND on 18 September 2008, 02:59:54 Hallelujah...
Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: ChaosVortex on 18 September 2008, 03:49:19 Quoting a comment on that page...
"Thou shalt not steal from thy neighbor..." Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Edgecrusher on 18 September 2008, 15:23:33 Not trying to rag on anyone's religion or anything, but did you ever notice how Christian stuff like this tends to jump on bandwagons, rather than buying their own?
I mean, seriously, when was the last time Christianity started it's own trend, as opposed to taking someone else's idea and bloodily ripping it off? Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: ASR on 18 September 2008, 15:35:30 So, I'm kind of interested in that upcoming game Mirror's Edge. It's like a first-person running/jumping/acrobatic/platformer sort of game.
I might get it. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Edgecrusher on 18 September 2008, 15:45:26 Agreed. It at least looks like a fresh take on what I can only describe as a stale genre.
And there's no green in it. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Vinchenz Rock on 18 September 2008, 16:09:53 Metroid Prime?
Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: ASR on 18 September 2008, 16:39:11 This is NOTHING like Metroid Prime, my good sir.
And there's no green in it. As an avid supporter of green, this troubles me. Anyway, yeah, it's a big deal to say I want to buy it because there have been a large amount of games I've wanted to play lately but haven't gotten off my ass to get. This is dating back to when Bioshock first came out. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Mikero on 18 September 2008, 23:01:14 So, what, is it like a parkour game or something? 'Cause that sounds pretty cool.
I sometimes boot up Ultimate Spider-Man and use the "Parker Hoodie" costume and then just free roam around NY going onto buildings and all that by ONLY jumping and wall-jumping and such. No webbing and no sticking to walls, but I allow that running along the wall thing. It's kind of fun, just to kill time and it's kind of neat to see where I can get without using that other stuff. I got to the highest possible area to get to in the city (whether by use of wall crawling or not) I'm basically done with that now. I just like parkour stuff. Not trying to rag on anyone's religion or anything, but did you ever notice how Christian stuff like this tends to jump on bandwagons, rather than buying their own? YES. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Majikn on 18 September 2008, 23:23:06 SCENE IT JESUS
Yes it exists. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: NovaMan XP on 18 September 2008, 23:27:40 Scene it Jesus?
Seriously? Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: ASR on 19 September 2008, 00:14:30 So, what, is it like a parkour game or something? 'Cause that sounds pretty cool. Yeah, it's sort of based on free-running, but I'm sure there's a lot more to it than that. It's all first-person so people are worried it's going to be really disorienting, but it's gotten nothing but good hype so apparently it's not a big problem. The gameplay videos I've seen of it really have me interested, I've been sort-of following this game for a bit. This and the new Bionic Commando. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Edgecrusher on 19 September 2008, 00:24:57 The new Bionic Commando lost me when half of their game play trailer was multi-player.
Sometimes I feel like the only person who cares more about single player modes than online game play. If I wanted to interact with other people, I wouldn't be playing video games. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: ASR on 19 September 2008, 00:26:05 I feel the same way. I don't mind playing multiplayer, but it's not why I buy games.
All these new games with so much focus on multiplayer are just killing me. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Edgecrusher on 19 September 2008, 00:33:50 I just want one area of my life to not end up being a #####ing pissing contest.
As if leader board standing is a measurement of personal worth. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: ASR on 19 September 2008, 00:44:08 Hey, man, I'm top score on the pinball machine in my house's basement!
Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Mikero on 19 September 2008, 02:22:28 "My dick hat's bigger than your dick hat."
As far as I'm concerned the only multiplayer gaming is when my friends are in the same room as I am and we're having a good laugh, not strangers online being s### heels so they can increase their ridiculously unimportant online profile scores. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Edgecrusher on 19 September 2008, 03:05:36 And abandon matches just before they lose.
I love the internet because of how freely information is conveyed. I hate the internet because of how absolutely shameless it makes people. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Mikero on 19 September 2008, 03:09:34 I agree completely. Although, and I never noticed this before, but I have to say the same thing about alcohol...
Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Fatso on 19 September 2008, 03:15:03 Don't make that connection anywhere near government, I don't feel like being outlawed from the internet until I'm 19 thank you very much.
Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Edgecrusher on 19 September 2008, 03:58:24 If the government does anything to regulate the internet, it will be straight across the board, age being moot.
If you keep an eye on some of the bills that have been and are being proposed, you'd see they're already trying. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Xzeemo on 19 September 2008, 04:02:19 No thanks to 4chan x.x
Still funny as hell that they hacked Palin's e-mail though. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Vinchenz Rock on 19 September 2008, 04:04:59 HEY MAN DON'T ##### WITH MY NET NEUTRALITY
Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Fatso on 19 September 2008, 04:15:07 If the government does anything to regulate the internet, it will be straight across the board, age being moot.In a purely theoretical sense, wouldn't it be impossible for American governmental groups to regulate the internet without the support of the entire computerized world? Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Edgecrusher on 19 September 2008, 04:20:11 China seemed to manage.
Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Fatso on 19 September 2008, 05:00:40 That's why the sense is purely theoretical.
Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Mikero on 19 September 2008, 05:17:10 They've done that all over the place. Half the middle east has major cock blocks on the net. This isn't new. In some ways it's a good idea, but ultimately infringes on basic freedoms (well, the freedoms we have in other areas like North America and the UK, at least) and it sucks.
I don't think making a "legal internet use age" is a totally bad idea though. And I think it would be hilarious the first time someone gets caught for "under-age internetting." But not "SUI - Surfing under the influence", because I would get caught chatting up girls who are just friends online far too often... ... Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Vinchenz Rock on 19 September 2008, 05:21:27 The internet there is controlled by the government, though.
Phone and internet companies want to get rid of the idea of net neutrality, not the government. And that's worse. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Mikero on 19 September 2008, 05:25:05 You think the internet anywhere else isn't controlled by the government of that respective area?
I'm all for net neutrality, of course, but I really doubt the government of any nation just allows it's people to do whatever they like on the internet. They don't let that happen with ANY other media. They just make it look like freedom. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Edgecrusher on 20 September 2008, 00:50:53 Go back to sleep America, you're government is in control.
Now, here's American Gladiators. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Someguy on 20 September 2008, 12:45:12 Remember that Castlevania fighting game for the Wii? I sure wish I didn't. It's been delayed till early '09, and 2 more characters are in
(http://www.hsjp.net/upload/src/up43672.jpg) Eric Lacarde and Death. My god the designs for every character in this game has been raped Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Vinchenz Rock on 20 September 2008, 18:22:48 Child Kira and Death?
Edit: Oh, didn't see your post after the image. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: preventerWIND on 20 September 2008, 21:29:12 I thought Death Note too when I saw it. What the hells an Eric Lacarde? I think I remember him, but I certainly don't remember him looking like that!
This game is gonna be BAAAARF! Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Edgecrusher on 20 September 2008, 21:36:55 Castlevania has been suffering for awhile.
Except the DS/GBA games. Those are gold. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Fatso on 20 September 2008, 21:47:00 Those are the only ones I pay any attention to these days.
Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: preventerWIND on 20 September 2008, 21:48:54 Hopefully the new one won't be #####.
Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Edgecrusher on 20 September 2008, 23:23:59 They really don't stray much from the formula established in SotN, so I'd expect it to be decent.
Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Fatso on 20 September 2008, 23:26:43 Really what I want, though, is another Castlevania 3 or Castlevania 4.
Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: NovaMan XP on 20 September 2008, 23:47:03 GTA: Chinatown Wars screenshots (http://www.nintendoeverything.com/?p=3857)
Eh. I'm not sure what to think of it yet. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: preventerWIND on 21 September 2008, 01:15:08 Kinda looks like the old GTA to me.. meh, I'll try it out..
Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Edgecrusher on 21 September 2008, 02:19:06 Awesome. I loved GTA 1 and 2.
Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Abominator on 21 September 2008, 02:21:08 Looks quality.
I heard the GBA GTA was good, but never played it. GTA2 was ass, Hedge. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: ASR on 21 September 2008, 04:48:01 I think the GBA GTA was just a port of the first one.
I owned it and liked it a lot. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: NovaMan XP on 21 September 2008, 04:50:24 In some screens it looks 3D and some it looks like everything is sprites. Sorta.
Though it does look good so far, I just hope it's good. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Xero on 21 September 2008, 11:55:07 I've been playing the Strong Bad games on the Wii.
Good stuff. Good stuff. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Speed Racer on 21 September 2008, 14:00:08 Guitar Praise: Solid Rock God, not this ##### again. They did the same damn thing with Dance Dance Revolution. Stomping for Jesus, I suppose. Being the son of a preacher man, it's fun/embarassing that I know of or am pretty familiar with most of these bands. I'm kind of surprised that they didn't get their hands on early MXPX or P.O.D....P.O.D. seemingly being the most obvious choice for a guitar game. DC Talk's "Jesus Freak" might be pretty fun, although it would be more suited for a Rock Band game if they made one (which they probably will). I understand why they threw in Petra, despite them sucking large amounts of dick, because they have to have something vaguely like metal in there. Casting Crowns is an okay choice, but they went with "Lifesong" because its their biggest hit yet. Crap choice; stuff on their self-titled debut is way better. The idea of Jeremy Camp astounds me; he can't rock out to save his life. I get why they make these games, but their tracklists always suck. I can't fathom who the hell would want to "dance" on their DDR clone to Steven Curtis Chapman or Rebecca St. James, and who would want to rock out to...most of these people. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Edgecrusher on 22 September 2008, 02:03:36 Silent Hill: Homecoming will be out in a little more than a week.
I'm very excited. I'll have to fly through it though, because Dead Space comes out a few weeks after that. It's a good month(ish) for horror games. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: NovaMan XP on 22 September 2008, 02:24:49 Dead Space looks pretty good. I know I'll have to pick it up in time for Halloween... heh.
Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Mikero on 22 September 2008, 02:54:51 GTA: Chinatown Wars screenshots (http://www.nintendoeverything.com/?p=3857) What the hell? Why didn't just use the PS2 style? Not that that's necessarily better than original but this isn't original style either... I don't know. It looks OK but also like a 2D-3D mishmash and those can be awful sometimes. Should be worth a shot though. I'm worried about the DS gimickyness. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Speed Racer on 22 September 2008, 09:59:05 The cover story for this month's Game Informer is Star Trek Online, which looks and sounds very, very awesome. I know originally I was saving myself for a Firefly MMO, but if they make this thing for 360 (the article says that Microsoft and Sony have expressed interest)...I may have to jump in on this one.
Pretty much what happens is that you will always be the captain of your own ship, either someone from the Federation or the Klingon Empire. You'll start off with a little tiny-ass ship, but as you lev...*cough* get promoted, you'll get the chance to captain bigger ships. You'll beam down on away team missions, go to new planets, solve problems, and of course, have huge #####-off battles in the Neutral Zone. I'm not a big fan of Star Trek, but this is one game that I will be checking out. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: ASR on 22 September 2008, 14:56:40 That does actually sound pretty cool.
Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Mikero on 22 September 2008, 22:22:33 I don't know. I am an ST fan. Of every incarnation. But... It sounds kind of boring. Like once my friend wanted to do a Star Wars DND and made a facebook group for our friends for it and accidentally called it STDND. I told him "That would be 'Star Trek DND'" and he said "... Most boring DND ever."
He was right. Because while I love Star Trek, it is a lot of flying around and talking when compared to other flying around space type things. Still, it could be cool. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: ASR on 22 September 2008, 23:18:31 STDND would Sexually Transmitted Diseases n' Dragons.
Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Abominator on 22 September 2008, 23:21:34 There hasn't been a good Star Trek game in a long time.
Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Captain Sanoguchi on 23 September 2008, 02:15:22 Yeah, they're no fun at all. Especially that one on the Atari that was so complicated you had to put a little cover on the controller just so you could remember the controls!
Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Mikero on 23 September 2008, 04:10:21 You could get the controls tattooed like that guy in that hockey game commercial. Dhurrdumb.
STDND would Sexually Transmitted Diseases n' Dragons. No because that term is outdated. It's "Sexually Transmitted Infections" or "STI's" or even both, now. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Edgecrusher on 23 September 2008, 13:41:50 And Pluto is no longer a planet.
Seriously, who decides arbitrary ##### like that? Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Xzeemo on 23 September 2008, 15:36:48 I was disappointed when they dethroned Pluto as a planet. There has always been nine. Eight just doesn't sound right. What they should've done is named Pluto's moon a binary planet. That woulda been cool. Then we would've had 10. ^.^
Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Chron on 23 September 2008, 15:49:40 There haven't always been nine.
Pluto wasn't made a planet until 1930. The reclassification as a Kuiper Belt object is more accurate. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: ASR on 23 September 2008, 15:52:31 YEAH BECAUSE NOW MEGAMAN V GB DOESN'T MAKE SENSE
Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Chron on 23 September 2008, 16:14:07 Of course it does.
Pluto's still a Roman god. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: ChaosVortex on 23 September 2008, 17:05:51 And Pluto is no longer a planet. I mentioned something like that in my speech class, something about Pluto and someone quickly replied, "Pluto's not a planet anymore..." "I DON'T CARE I'M CALLING IT A PLANET DON'T SCREW WITH MY HEAD" Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Edgecrusher on 23 September 2008, 18:14:31 The reclassification as a Kuiper Belt object is more accurate. It's not accurate, it's a semantic upheaval. Some dickweeds just wanted to create a new classification of astral body, and they martyred Pluto to do it. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: TheRedPriest on 23 September 2008, 18:43:37 mmmm... astral bodies. Hot.
Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Chron on 23 September 2008, 18:44:44 That's the cartridge Roger Wilco needs to view to get the Star Generator codes.
It's not accurate, it's a semantic upheaval. Some dickweeds just wanted to create a new classification of astral body, and they martyred Pluto to do it. It's in the Kuiper Belt. It's an icy rock with more icy rocks around it. The orbit isn't in line with the plane of the planets, either. There's nothing special about it, even when compared to other Kuiper Belt objects, besides maybe Charon, and there are plenty of other rock systems like that, even in the asteroid belt. The classification is old, unless you mean "dwarf planet". Sometimes you have to throw out old ideas to make science more clear. That's how these things work. The only thing it really ruins is the fiction based around Pluto being a planet. Like Sailor Moon. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: ASR on 23 September 2008, 18:55:49 OR MEGAMAN V GB
Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Edgecrusher on 23 September 2008, 19:04:41 But there's the thing, it really isn't more clear.
Due to the new definition (and this is the point that #####s Pluto over), it can't be considered a planet unless it has "cleared it's orbit" of other objects (asteroids and the like). While there is a significant difference to the extent with which Pluto has cleared it's orbit in comparison to the other planets, several other planet fail to meet that specification as well. Namely Mars, Jupiter, Neptune, and Earth. It gets even muddier when you try and apply the definition outside of our solar system. I think what really bothers me though, is that language is supposed to be a shared thing. Words only have meaning when agreed upon by the majority, and ~450 out of ~9,000 astronomers doesn't seem like a very convincing ratio. I understand that many of them were absent, since the discussion occurred near the end of the conference, but isn't it a bit presumptuous for five percent of the committee to make a decision that effects the whole system? Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Chron on 23 September 2008, 20:17:23 The asteroids around Earth and the Jupiter-vicinity objects in the Themis belt are nothing in comparison to the soup of rocks Pluto is in.
But you are right; it's not fair for such a small percentage to decide these things. I'm not exactly sure where the definition of "planet" began before this, though. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Lunchebox on 23 September 2008, 20:35:50 Is that what really happened?
8550 astronomers basically went home, cause, well, they were tired, or whatever and the remaining 450 basically said: "You know what? ##### it, Pluto isn't a planet anymore!"? Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Chron on 23 September 2008, 20:46:09 I don't think all of them were present for the whole thing, actually.
If memory serves me properly. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Lunchebox on 23 September 2008, 20:48:52 So it was like, some of them came for a couple of days or so, then went home?
Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Edgecrusher on 23 September 2008, 20:57:55 For a discussion that involved something so arbitrary, it's not suprising that no one stuck around. Of course, I'm sure if they would have known what was going to come out of that meeting, it would have been a different story.
The whole thing really started off in an attempt to classify Eris. This quickly lead to the realization that if astral bodies of Pluto's size were considered planets, the list of them would grow to almost unreasonable size. God forbid we add planets. I mean, there's no way we could just consider proximity to the Earth when we teach them in school. That would be too complicated. The current 'consensus': "The IAU therefore resolves that planets and other bodies in our Solar System, except satellites, be defined into three distinct categories in the following way: (1) A "planet"1 is a celestial body that: (a) is in orbit around the Sun, (b) has sufficient mass for its self-gravity to overcome rigid body forces so that it assumes a hydrostatic equilibrium (nearly round) shape, and (c) has cleared the neighbourhood around its orbit. (2) A "dwarf planet" is a celestial body that: (a) is in orbit around the Sun, (b) has sufficient mass for its self-gravity to overcome rigid body forces so that it assumes a hydrostatic equilibrium (nearly round) shape2, (c) has not cleared the neighbourhood around its orbit, and (d) is not a satellite. (3) All other objects3 except satellites orbiting the Sun shall be referred to collectively as "Small Solar System Bodies"." On the plus side, they're reconvening on the subject next year, so we may see another definition change. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Chron on 23 September 2008, 21:02:45 Makes you wonder just how many Pluto-sized objects there are out there.
Eris would have been a cool addition though. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Edgecrusher on 23 September 2008, 21:37:01 Back on topic:

Kind of like the word "gay" will probably always (or at least for a long time) be acceptable as a way of saying something is stupid to me. Yes, I know it's not right. No, I don't like it. Yes, I do use it though. There haven't always been nine. And way before that nothing was a planet and everything was "Uggg ugh oog bapfh!" SO THERE XZEEMON! mmmm... astral bodies. Hot.

Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Vinchenz Rock on 29 September 2008, 21:37:46 New DS on the way, includes a camera, larger screen, music playability and an SD card slot. (http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20080928/bs_nm/us_nintendo)
This news was reported by the Japanese newspaper called Nikkei, which is the equivalent to the New York Times, so they don't publish rumours. Take it as you will. Edit: A screen of the new DS screens.

But seriously, no thanks. I already have a DS, a camera, iPod and a flashcart. I wouldn't need a Dual-Screen-Camera-whateverthehell. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Vinchenz Rock on 29 September 2008, 21:52:54 Apparently those screens are OLEDs.
Meaning they're paper thin. But you get tons of battery time saved from it. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Majikn on 29 September 2008, 21:54:03 It'd be nice if they showed how the new screen looks compared to the old screen.
But that's cool. And pretty "ownage" for me considering I didn't bother spending money on the second model. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: preventerWIND on 29 September 2008, 22:00:35 Apparently those screens are OLEDs. Meaning its easily breakable for a certain someone :[ Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Majikn on 29 September 2008, 22:08:42 MAYBE THAT MAKES THEM FLEXIBLE.
So I can go WOWM and make MegaMan fat! And then I can go WOWM and make him upside down! AHAHAHAHAHAHA wait that only works with mirrors... Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: NovaMan XP on 29 September 2008, 22:52:59 I won't get this, just like I didn't get the DS Lite. Nothing that actually contributes to GAMEPLAY... just extra crap.
Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Chron on 29 September 2008, 23:48:49 *high fives Nova*
Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Mikero on 29 September 2008, 23:49:46 This news was reported by the Japanese newspaper called Nikkei, which is the equivalent to the New York Times, so they don't publish rumours. Only the New York Times is equivalent to the New York Times. It'd be nice if they showed how the new screen looks compared to the old screen. Same here. I mean, I wanted to trade in my regular DS for a Lite but for whatever reasons it never happened. Anyway I don't really care about the extra ##### but I might as well wait for this instead of finally getting a DS Lite. It's mainly because my DS is getting crappier, not because of looks or anything. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: ASR on 29 September 2008, 23:52:14 Yeah, that's why I got my Lite. My DS was just wearing out, and there was that trade-in deal so the Lite was less money if I just traded it in anyway.
Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Majikn on 30 September 2008, 00:24:34 It might be neat to be able to back some VC games to SD card and play off the SD card on the new DS, if possible.
Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Vinchenz Rock on 2 October 2008, 06:44:29 The Nintendo DSi is announced! (http://bb.watch.impress.co.jp/cda/static/image/2008/10/02/ninten02.jpg)
Umm, no sources yet, this comes from a live blog on wired... but its real, because the Nintendo event is going on as I type this message! New features: - 12%, 2.6 millimeters lighter, no more GBA slot - bigger screens, better speakers, 300,000 pixels cam - screens are 3.25 inches - camera and audio functions - pictures taken should be able to be manipulated via touch screens - pitch and sound playback speed can be adjusted It might be neat to be able to back some VC games to SD card and play off the SD card on the new DS, if possible. :D 13:56: You can take games you've downloaded to the DSi with you. Also, Wii Points will be renamed to become Nintendo Points. 13:56: The Nintendo DSi will come with a browser included. 13:58: DS Ware will be able to be downloaded from the Nintendo DSi Shop. 13:59: Titles will be placed into Free, 200, 500, and Premium (800) categories. DSi systems that connect by March, 2010 will receive 1000 Points as a gift. Will be released next year for everywhere outside of Japan. This is a DS upgrade, not a DS2. But it sounds awesome. Apparently, it comes out in Japan next month. No GBA slot is a bit of a disappointment, but I already have my current DS to do that job. Posted on: 2 October 2008, 01:25:22 14:07: The DSi presentation has concluded, and now the games to be released by year's end are being shown in a video. 14:11: DS and Wii connectivity title FFCC is being introduced. Mario and Luigi 3 announced. Trailer of: FFCC: Echos of Time Trailer of: DQIX This one is for Abe: Phantasy Star 0 Trailer (http://gonintendo.com/?p=57912) Posted on: 2 October 2008, 01:34:21 For the Wii, they just announced a new service of games called "Tap Games." Games that came out on the GCN (like Pikmin) will be re-released to work on the Wii with the Wiimote. They just announced Sin & Punishment 2, Trace Memory, and, oh god, PUNCH OUT FOR THE WII MOTHER #####ING PUNCH OUT MOAR: Samurai Warriors 3 announced, Monster Hunter 3 announced, next flag-ship Tales of (not ToS2) game will be for Wii. It's over.

I can't wait to take out Glass Joe. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Chron on 2 October 2008, 13:01:41 No GBA slot?
Well finally they learn to keep the good system out of the bad one. ... hmm. Portable Gunstar Heroes... Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: TheRedPriest on 2 October 2008, 18:22:06 PUNCHOUT WII OMG YES! Looks like it's taking a que from the NES game too, not that piece of ##### SNES sequal.
Also... TRACE MEMORY WII?!?!@DLKF AOEIJF A;DLKJFAO EIJF EI ##### YEA!!!! And the new DSi is pimp. Can't wait to see the mp3 players they write for it to take advantage of that built in SD card slot. Oh man... good #####. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Xero on 2 October 2008, 19:01:18 King Hippo, Soda Popinkshi and Glass Joe FTW.
Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: NovaMan XP on 2 October 2008, 20:53:57 No GBA slot is kinda eh. But it looks nice! Also Punchout Wii... oh my God.
Nintendo Points, huh? Now there's Microsoft and Nintendo points. EDIT: Bigger screen, huh? I guess that means they'll be able to fit NES and SNES games now possibly... without things going off-screen. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Vinchenz Rock on 2 October 2008, 20:56:15 Punch-Out Trailer:

Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: preventerWIND on 2 October 2008, 21:00:20 DSiWare huh? Well, I have to say all that is making me envy the new DS, it kind of looks shmeh, and the camera isn't surprising at all.
I just want to know what there'll be for DSiWare.. And Punch Out looks crazy good. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Fatso on 2 October 2008, 21:09:58 EDIT: Bigger screen, huh? I guess that means they'll be able to fit NES and SNES games now possibly... without things going off-screen. I'm pretty sure the DS' display resolution a) won't change and b) is already more than 256x224 per screen. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: preventerWIND on 2 October 2008, 21:14:26 Actually, I think the size is 256x192
Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: NovaMan XP on 2 October 2008, 21:16:16 That'd be for DS games only, wouldn't it?
Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: preventerWIND on 2 October 2008, 21:19:01 Yeah, GBA games are different; smaller.
Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Lunchebox on 2 October 2008, 22:03:16 Punch-Out Trailer: Oh hell yes, Little Mac! I missed you!

OH MY #####ING GOD! Thank you Nintendo. If that's how the entire game is going to be, then this is the PERFECT next gen remake/sequal to Punch-Out! Gameplay looks spot on with none of the Super Punch-Out garbage. Now if it's 3 rounds, has Doc telling you to join the Nintendo Fan Club today and boss training montoges, this could be the single best Wii game EVER... Though we still need Bald Bull, Piston Honda and Don Flamingo. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Mikero on 2 October 2008, 22:29:58 UH, EXCUSE ME. No GBA is bull#####. Straight bull#####. But I can still trade in my DS since I have my GBASP still kicking around.
And the rest is good. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: preventerWIND on 2 October 2008, 22:35:21 The whole thing is useless to me, interesting but useless.
Except for the DSiWare, that may be nice. I was expecting a new slim DS like the GBA Micro. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Vinchenz Rock on 2 October 2008, 22:36:35 It's longer but a tiny bit thinner.
Also, Cave Story is coming out for WiiWare. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: NovaMan XP on 2 October 2008, 22:43:55 Except for the DSiWare, that may be nice. I was expecting a new slim DS like the GBA Micro. The GBA Micro was AWFUL. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Vinchenz Rock on 2 October 2008, 22:44:49 Oh, Tap Games is wrong, that's a game being made by Yuji Naka.
Now, the GCN Wii-makes, those are called "Wii de Asobu" which is French or something for "Play on the Wii Selection" or something. Games confirmed are: December 11th: Donkey Kong Jungle Beat December 25th (how does this work, Nintendo?): Pikmin 2009: Chibi Robo! Pikmin 2 Mario Tennis GC Metroid Prime Metroid Prime 2 Dark Echoes Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: ASR on 2 October 2008, 23:58:01 Punch-Out Trailer: OH DEAR GOD. YES. #####ING YES. THAT MUSIC BROUGHT ME SO MUCH EXCITEMENT THAT I CAN'T EVEN HOLD IT IN. Punch-Out was like, one of my earliest videogame memories, and I've been wanting this to come out for ages now. Like, I wasn't too excited until I saw the trailer. Wow. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: NovaMan XP on 3 October 2008, 00:13:33 Punch-Out was like, one of my earliest videogame memories, Same here! And yeah, the music is awesome, brings back alot of memories. Especially ones of getting owned by Mr. Sandman or Mike Tyson/Mr. Dream... Not that it matters in a game... but the graphics look really good. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: ASR on 3 October 2008, 00:17:28 Graphics most definitely DO matter in a game, and they matter quite a bit actually, but they don't MAKE the game, and they are ALWAYS second to gameplay.
Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Xero on 3 October 2008, 00:28:19 JUST LIKE MM9 RITE!?
Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: ASR on 3 October 2008, 00:36:03 I was going to add more, and say that by graphics, I don't mean "Make everything look ultra-realistic."
I mean, make everything look nice. Presentation, really. If 8-bit is the style of your game, then by all means, if it looks great then there's absolutely nothing wrong with that. But anyone who says graphics aren't important is kidding themselves, unless they mean it in the sense of "ultra-realistic super-mega-polygons craziness." Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Xero on 3 October 2008, 00:39:03 As long as the graphics don't affect the gameplay then it's all good.
Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Johncarllos on 3 October 2008, 00:59:31 What's worse is beautiful graphics and a crap camera.
It makes the game a waste. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: NovaMan XP on 3 October 2008, 01:07:55 You all know what I meant. Sorta.
Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Edgecrusher on 3 October 2008, 01:57:13 It will always be Mike Tyson's Punch-Out!, no matter who you fight at the end.

Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: TheRedPriest on 3 October 2008, 22:37:21 Nibbles is NEVER happy though.
Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Xero on 3 October 2008, 22:39:24 Just give him a n00b or lamer. That usually cheers him up.
Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Chron on 3 October 2008, 22:45:48 I dunno, I've seen Nibbles eat entire troll armies and still have an irritable appetite for wanton destruction and human flesh.
Maybe it makes him relatively happy. Compared to his normal. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: preventerWIND on 3 October 2008, 22:46:08 Give him a birthday n00b cake, made from the finest ingredients; made from the finest n00bs!
Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Xero on 3 October 2008, 22:54:07 Trolls don't do anything for Nibbles. Since Trolls are really intellegent.
Nibbles needs to feed off of stupid inept speds. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Mikero on 4 October 2008, 01:11:10 ChaosVortex is a local bridge-troll, so I don't know what you mean by all this "trolls are intelligent" crap.

Angry ones. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: ChaosVortex on 4 October 2008, 04:30:28 Who?
What happened? I don't know you. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: preventerWIND on 4 October 2008, 04:38:39 (http://img142.imageshack.us/img142/7084/39983142li8.png)
Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Captain Sanoguchi on 4 October 2008, 15:20:26 But... That's a goblin.
Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: TheRedPriest on 4 October 2008, 16:28:04 Nova Man is confused.
Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Vinchenz Rock on 5 October 2008, 03:55:52 Haha, I bet that's gonna bring back some memories for him. Strangely enough, I don't remember this. Posted on: 4 October 2008, 17:26:20 Any of you guys heard of LittleBigPlanet? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R_ETYyLuTSc That was created from scratch, from imagination. This is one of the reasons why I'm getting a PS3. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: NovaMan XP on 5 October 2008, 04:00:51 I thought you already had a PS3?!
Either way, looks nice... but I could never take the time to make something like in that video. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Vinchenz Rock on 5 October 2008, 04:10:54 No. I played Metal Gear Solid 4 at my cousin's.
I plan on getting a PS3 the moment I get my check. Anyway, here's an example of a user created level: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rkE4qIj7tfQ&fmt=18 This is based off of Shadow of the Colossus, apparently. I've never actually played that game, so I don't know myself. Regardless, this should show you what kind of things you can do with the game. Edit: Actually, this would be a better idea: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JgZm_bnG7_o&fmt=18 Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: NovaMan XP on 5 October 2008, 04:32:16 Damn, now I really want to try it out for myself.
Too bad I know I won't be getting a PS3 for a LONG time. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: ChaosVortex on 5 October 2008, 04:39:45 Likewise. I doubt I'll ever get one, realistically.
Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Orange Devil on 5 October 2008, 06:00:39 Have any of you junkies started wishing for Megaman 10 yet?
Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Chron on 5 October 2008, 14:20:09 Yeah, something like that.
Man, Little Big Planet looks cooler than I thought it could. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Mikero on 5 October 2008, 17:07:41 The Little Big Colossus video looks more like it's based off Ico than Shadow Of The Colossus. I say that having only played Shadow Of The Colossus and not Ico, but I remember Ico looking kind of sidescrolly.
Anyway Little Big Planet looks cool, although I don't know what the premise of it is at all. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Chron on 5 October 2008, 18:19:01 Ico is a far cry from it.
For one thing, you're not on an escort mission there. For another, Ico was mostly 3D, like SotC. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: ChaosVortex on 5 October 2008, 19:33:47 I've never even played Man Man 1.
Anyway, Hotel Dusk in hand. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Mikero on 6 October 2008, 00:50:53 Have any of you junkies started wishing for Megaman 10 yet? What makes you say that? Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: ASR on 6 October 2008, 01:13:58 They're not so much "ridiculous" as they are "blatant ripoffs."
Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: ASR on 6 October 2008, 01:33:07 Magma Man = Needle Man
Tornado Man = Harpuia Splash Woman = Leviathan Plug Man = Dynamo Man Jewel Man = Top Man Galaxy Man = Astro Man Morg made a list a while ago. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Xero on 6 October 2008, 01:38:00 But they didn't reuse robot masters like another game. (MM&B)
Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Mikero on 6 October 2008, 02:17:16 They're similar but they aren't close enough to call blatant ripoffs. I mean, is Freeze Man all that different from Ice Man then? Or Cold Man? Or Blizzard Man? Or Frost Man?
Jeez. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: ASR on 6 October 2008, 02:23:26 Yes. All of the ones you named are so very different from each other. They're actually completely different designs.
But yeah, I'm just playing the lookalike game. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Edgecrusher on 6 October 2008, 04:40:23 Robot Masters are not why I play Megaman games.
Besides, they've been pretty hashed since MM3 Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Chron on 6 October 2008, 13:29:50 As soon as they made Dust Man you know they've run out of ideas.
although that is MM4 Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Fatso on 6 October 2008, 15:49:13 Dust Man is whatever it is. On the other hand, though, that game also produced the most awesome Robot Master ever.
Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Chron on 6 October 2008, 15:53:07 Metal Man is in MM2, Fatso.
Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Fatso on 6 October 2008, 15:55:16 Pssh, Skull Man could beat Metal Man up any day.
Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Chron on 6 October 2008, 15:58:51 Pfft. Metal Man shoots bone saws out of his hands, man.
Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Fatso on 6 October 2008, 15:59:43 To which he is also mortally weak.
Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Chron on 6 October 2008, 16:40:48 He's a real risk taker.
Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Mikero on 6 October 2008, 23:20:43 Metal Man, Shadow Man, and Gyro Man are a triple entente of badassery.
Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: ASR on 7 October 2008, 00:14:40 My favorites have always been Quick Man and Snake Man.
Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: preventerWIND on 7 October 2008, 00:16:50 I imagine Heat Man being really fun to hang around with, he's a walking hot box after all! BWAHA!
Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Xero on 7 October 2008, 01:07:29 Zippo lighter.
Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: preventerWIND on 7 October 2008, 01:13:17 And a Zippo Lighter is a small box which emit's heat. What else did you think I meant?
Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Xero on 7 October 2008, 02:00:17 Sounds cooler.
Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: NovaMan XP on 7 October 2008, 03:19:11 Actually it sounds warmer.
HAH. ... *sigh* Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Edgecrusher on 7 October 2008, 03:23:50 I really want Little Big Planet to do well, but user-generated content rarely lives up to it's ideals.
Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Chron on 7 October 2008, 15:22:03 It's really all they have, though, and it's a great game for parents to get their kids and for kids to go "BUT I WANTED ULTRA DEATH FPS 7000".
We do still live in a world where parents are idiots and do the right thing. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Edgecrusher on 7 October 2008, 18:48:00 Not at my store.
Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Vinchenz Rock on 7 October 2008, 20:29:27 Someone makes a calculator in LBP...
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZiRgYBHoAoU Sure, sounds simple. But watch the video. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Majikn on 7 October 2008, 21:33:51 I don't even know what those lines are supposed to mean, and what exactly they're connecting to, but oooookay.
Maybe there's a simpler way to do it that the person just didn't see. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Edgecrusher on 7 October 2008, 21:51:56 That...
I... ...I have to buy this game. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Mikero on 7 October 2008, 22:23:50 Again,
Little Big Planet looks cool, although I don't know what the premise of it is at all. So like.. Do you make your own game, basically? Because I love that #####. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Vinchenz Rock on 7 October 2008, 22:25:04 You make your own levels, and you can share them.
Basically, your imagination is the only limitation. And the size of the PS3's hard drive. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Edgecrusher on 7 October 2008, 22:25:24 More or less.
People are cranking out some AMAZING ##### using the beta they're testing right now. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Mikero on 7 October 2008, 23:16:40 Yeah it looks really great. Do you make the character too? I ask because I watched a couple vids that had different dudes.
Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Edgecrusher on 7 October 2008, 23:20:50 That's part of it, yes.
Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Mikero on 7 October 2008, 23:23:04 That's good. First/only PS3 game I want. But I can't be getting a PS3 just for one game, of course.
Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Edgecrusher on 7 October 2008, 23:29:01 To be frank, when I bought mine it was for the foremost purpose of using it as a media center.
Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: ASR on 7 October 2008, 23:57:47 LittleBigPlanet looks amazing and totally up my alley, but I don't care enough to get a PS3 for it.
Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Edgecrusher on 8 October 2008, 00:22:48 I probably wouldn't either.
But as I have one, this is mandatory. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: preventerWIND on 8 October 2008, 00:25:57 LittleBigPlanet looks amazing and totally up my alley, but I don't care enough to get a PS3 for it. I'm in the same alley with ASR. I'd love to make little characters, and the previews all look real fun. Totally would get it if I had a PS3.. And we're not doing anything suspicious in that alley. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: ASR on 8 October 2008, 00:35:16 Yeah, if I had a PS3, I'd be counting down the days and hyping it and going to buy it the day it came out.
Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Edgecrusher on 8 October 2008, 00:45:13 Or smuggling it out early.
Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: ASR on 8 October 2008, 01:17:44 Smooth.
Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: MOX on 8 October 2008, 06:00:04 I've been really excited about LBP since I saw it at the last E3. My tablet can hook up to the PS3 so the drawing part of the game seems neat if it can work out that way; but besides that the creation seems way fun, and games with customization keep me playing nonstop.
Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Chron on 8 October 2008, 13:53:32 That computer...
... wow. This guy has to be an electrical/computer engineer or someone who's going to have a bright, bright future as one. If you can do that sort of thing, guys, you can make a Turing-class machine with LBP. Which is basically a computer. ... assuming the PS3 can handle it, which, if LBP makes correct use of the Cell, it should be able to handle easily. Save maybe memory restrictions. I... I want a PS3 now. And I never really cared to have one for any other reason than converting it into a Linux box before. man i need a job Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Vinchenz Rock on 8 October 2008, 18:44:05 So, I might be getting a Beta Key for LBP.
I probably won't get my PS3 before the game comes out, so it's up for grabs. Assuming I get one, though the chances are good on that. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: ASR on 8 October 2008, 18:49:42 You can just go to USA Today online or whatever.
Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Vinchenz Rock on 8 October 2008, 18:55:55 Yeah, but if its like the other websites that have "First Come, First Serve", it'll be gone in a couple days.
I'm pretty sure I got my e-mail in in time. Yes, those two "in"s are intentional. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Edgecrusher on 8 October 2008, 19:14:34 I believe the beta is almost over, but if no one else wants it, I'll use it.
Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Vinchenz Rock on 8 October 2008, 19:58:45 4 days, still enough time to get an impression.
Aaaaand... sent. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Mikero on 9 October 2008, 02:31:20 Before LBP (which every time you guys write I think it says "Lester B. Pearson") I'd only have used a PS3 as a big external hard drive.
Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Edgecrusher on 9 October 2008, 02:40:52 So, now having played the game, I can say:
If I didn't already have a PS3, I would indeed buy one for this game. It's going to win #####-loads of awards. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Someguy on 9 October 2008, 04:45:55 No More Heroes - Desperate Struggle (http://kotaku.com/5060871/no-more-heroes-2-+-desperate-struggle)
Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Majikn on 9 October 2008, 04:51:58 My eye always twitches when I see that kind of attempt at giving the screen an "old film through the projector" look. Just how fake it is.
Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Captain Sanoguchi on 9 October 2008, 05:05:30 Travis Strikes Again.
Awesome. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Vinchenz Rock on 9 October 2008, 08:07:09 So, um, remember Sonic and the Black Knight?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EMemZgkPEZ8 It's not looking too bad... AND CRUSH 40 IS BACK ##### YEAH Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Chron on 9 October 2008, 14:18:40 Sonic + Grinding = Horrible game, no exceptions.
Everybody go home, nothing to see here. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Edgecrusher on 9 October 2008, 16:21:48 Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: ASR on 9 October 2008, 16:28:07 Thanks, Edge.
Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: ChaosVortex on 9 October 2008, 16:35:39 I personally liked to grind, but only a few parts. It has to be done right.
Remember that stage in Sonic Heroes where you do nothing but grind? That was so dumb... Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Vinchenz Rock on 9 October 2008, 16:38:17 Oh, THAT kind of grinding.
Yeah, it ain't bad, but like Chaos said, I disliked it when it's the main part of the stage. But I think only Sonic Heroes did grinding that much. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Edgecrusher on 9 October 2008, 17:03:23 The later Sonic/Shadow stages in Sonic Adventure 2 had ##### loads of grinding with no floor what-so-ever.
Though I have to say, I DID enjoy those stages. They kept things tense. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: preventerWIND on 9 October 2008, 18:01:14 I liked grinding, and like edge said, some stages were annoying but way cool. Like Final Weapon or rush or whatever. Theres parts where you could make HUGE leaps and falls and manage to grab a rail, it was so fun!
Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: ASR on 9 October 2008, 18:38:02 I feel like those last levels of SA2 did grinding right. I didn't mind those at all, not one bit.
Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Vinchenz Rock on 9 October 2008, 19:00:41 Oh, right, SA2's last stages.
Yeah, they're so good, I forgot them. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Chron on 9 October 2008, 22:48:28 You guys can't be serious.
Those are some of the most poorly designed levels in Sonic History. Also, I stand by my original ideal. No exceptions. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Mikero on 9 October 2008, 23:03:08 I agree with Chron. They were pretty crud and grinding in that game felt really... gritty, slow, tough... Something like that. Like why was grinding not fast? It's a SONIC game...
Although, like Wind and Edge, I really thought the whole "no floor" and "managing to grab a rail in a big fall" stuff was fun in spite of the actual grinding being... grindy. You'd think Sonic would wax his Soap Shoes or something. In real life when kids had Soap Shoes they waxed the rails or their grind plates... My eye always twitches when I see that kind of attempt at giving the screen an "old film through the projector" look. Just how fake it is. What I find extra stupid about it is that the film grain is actually on the black bars, which aren't "projected" on since they aren't part of the "screen" at all. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Vinchenz Rock on 10 October 2008, 16:27:08 Hahah, the Miles Edgeworth: Perfect Prosecutor booth at TGS looks EXACTLY like his room from the first PW game!
http://kotaku.com/5061451/ace-attorney-booth-is-guilty-of-being-well-amazing Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: ChaosVortex on 10 October 2008, 16:29:02 HahahaHAHAHA.
That's niiice. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: NovaMan XP on 10 October 2008, 19:50:57 Someone should've stole his first trial clothes. >_>
Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Captain Sanoguchi on 11 October 2008, 00:58:09 Um... Hello?
Did you guys forget about NMH2? Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Johncarllos on 11 October 2008, 01:03:06 OMG YES IT SHALL BE GLORIOUS I CANNOT WAIT!!!!!
Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: ASR on 11 October 2008, 01:16:02 Uh, yeah. Whoohoo and all that.
Didn't even care enough to beat the first one. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Majikn on 11 October 2008, 04:04:03 Yeah, I had actually thought better of getting it, and then my brother got it for me and I was like "... Oh. Thanks."
And then I beat the first guy and stopped. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Vinchenz Rock on 11 October 2008, 07:12:52 Miles Edgeworth: Perfect Prosecutor TGS Trailer:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vj6RJj6Du_Q Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Xero on 12 October 2008, 12:01:06 Just got Kirby Super Star Ultra.
Wow it's fun and cute. I love Kirby games. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: ASR on 12 October 2008, 17:01:52 I used to LOVE Kirby games.
And then one day, something clicked. And I can't play them. I played Super Star Ultra and it only confirmed that, because not even the insane amount of nostalgia could salvage that game for me. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Mikero on 12 October 2008, 19:34:44 NMH2.
Uh, yeah. Whoohoo and all that. Didn't even care enough to play the first one. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: preventerWIND on 12 October 2008, 23:51:30 I did, but caring isn't enough. Sometimes you need money.
Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Edgecrusher on 13 October 2008, 06:18:02 I'll be picking up Dead Space this Wednesday.
Silent Hill, Dead Space, and another Saw movie in one month... I love October. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Mikero on 13 October 2008, 21:03:59 I did, but caring isn't enough. Sometimes you need money. At best, I'll just rent the first one to see if I like it. Which could happen this week. But probably not. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Speed Racer on 17 October 2008, 17:02:50 Fable 2: LE, Far Cry 2: LE, and Gears of War: LE are all paid off. Quantum of Solace: LE will be paid off Wednesday morning when I pick up Fable 2 and Far Cry 2. This leaves me with Mortal Kombat vs. DC Universe: LE and Call of Duty: World at War - LE to pay off before the Christmas shopping season.
And then it's off to buy Prince of Persia: LE and perhaps Damnation! Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: von Teelio on 17 October 2008, 17:53:11 I totally forgot about that new James Bond game. Hopefully it's as good as Everything or Nothing was.
Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: ASR on 17 October 2008, 18:18:05 I found a Bond game for Gamecube lying around my house this summer, along with some Harry Potter Quidditch World Cup game.
Apparently my brother got them, and I never knew about them. The Bond game has the single greatest intro movie ever. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Mikero on 18 October 2008, 02:33:08 Agent Under Fire?
I really liked that one. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: ASR on 18 October 2008, 02:38:11 Now I can't even remember if that was it.
But it starts off with forcing you to play the tutorial every time you don't have a memory card or saved data on it, and there's a level where you have to drive a car chasing a train, and eventually boarding it from underneath on the railroad tracks. It's a sweet game. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: von Teelio on 18 October 2008, 03:28:23 That would be Everything or Nothing.
Agent Under Fire was an ass kicker, but I let a friend borrow it for a bit, and he managed to scratch up the CD to the point to where it could only play the beginning movie. He still owes me another copy as of today. Nightfire was almost just as good. The controls were too whack for me to actually enjoy it. Otherwise, it would have been amazing. The sniping level with the warehouses was too damn great. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: ChaosVortex on 18 October 2008, 04:12:18 I saw a trailer for the new Bionic Commando game at Gamestop.
LOVE IT. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: ASR on 18 October 2008, 06:56:14 That would be Everything or Nothing. Yep, yep, that's it! Love that game. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Mikero on 19 October 2008, 00:52:24 It was no Agent Under Fire.
Nightfire was... Meh. Just OK. And yeah, the controls weren't so hot. I remember it looked nice though. Especially driving stuff. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Vinchenz Rock on 19 October 2008, 00:54:20 I heard it was very short.
I liked Agent Under Fire, but none of these new Bond games live up to GoldenEye. The good one, not the new one where Bond isn't even in the game. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: von Teelio on 19 October 2008, 00:56:22 The Good News (http://www.gametrailers.com/player/35953.html)
The Bad News: Nowhere near the gameplay that EoN was. Yes, ANOTHER first-person shooter. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: ASR on 19 October 2008, 05:49:40 Bond games have an odd history.
GoldenEye started them all off with a fantastic bang, and then from there they ranged from total crap to unexpectedly awesome. I've played ones that I can't stand and others that I loved to death, and I usually can't remember the names of them after the fact. EDIT: Watched that Quantum of Solace gameplay video. It actually looks really good. I probably will never play it, but it still looks top quality. Cool that they're using the CoD4 engine, too. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Vinchenz Rock on 19 October 2008, 06:22:34 Yeah, I'll be getting QoS for my shiny PS3 if the reviews turn up good. Haven't had a good Bond experience since Agent Under Fire.
Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Mikero on 19 October 2008, 07:21:42 Uhm. So... I saw a commercial for Saint's Row 2...
It looked better than GTAIV. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: von Teelio on 19 October 2008, 07:30:41 Uhm. So... I saw a commercial for Saint's Row 2... The first Saint's Row was sick enough to make me forget the GTA series ever existed. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Mikero on 19 October 2008, 07:46:02 What does that even mean?
Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: von Teelio on 19 October 2008, 08:28:58 Don't worry about it sweetheart.
Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Abominator on 19 October 2008, 13:06:32 Uhm. So... I saw a commercial for Saint's Row 2... I'll be getting it when I have the moneys. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Chron on 20 October 2008, 15:57:16 http://www.dqix.jp/
DRAGON QUEST IX YEEEEEEEEEEEAH. From that trailer it sort of looks like they're keeping the style from VIII, but going back more to the roots of the series in terms of overworld and stuff. Regardless, if it's as awesome as VIII was, I'm getting it. ... come to think of it, I still need to finish VIII. Not far from the end, but still. It's always a wonder to me why I like these games and hate FF. My main complaint about FF is the battle system being so boring, yet DQ's battle system is even less advanced (in every incarnation)... but it's also the same battle system every game, more or less. You always feel like you're playing DQ. I guess that if it isn't broken, you don't fix it. I hope they keep the whole world map as huge and explorable as the last game, myself. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Vinchenz Rock on 21 October 2008, 16:44:35 Wow, Chron, you've always shown disinterest in Dragon Quest games before.
Regardless, DQIX will be awesome. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Mikero on 21 October 2008, 22:57:01 http://www.dqix.jp/ Maybe you enjoy it's simplicity. It could be a bit more fun. I don't know because I've never played any of those Dairy Queen games. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Chron on 22 October 2008, 14:45:38 The soft serve is good, but the burgers are not edible.
Wow, Chron, you've always shown disinterest in Dragon Quest games before. VIII I like, and some of the previous ones aren't all too bad. I've never finished any of them, but I've also never felt like I hated any of them, either. ... Mikero's probably right. It's likely the simplicity I like. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Mikero on 23 October 2008, 03:14:01 Don't get the chicken finger basket thing more than once a month. My friend used to have it a lot and he noticed a dramatic increase in acne, he then promptly quit having that meal and it cleared up.
Anyway, I've heard tell that Breath Of Fire games got worse after they tried to make the system newer or something? I think it was BoF... I've not played that either so again I'm unsure. But it's probably that kind of thing with you and Dagron Quest. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Dr. on 23 October 2008, 03:28:12 The Multiplayer in Saint's Row 2 is not as advanced as the GTA series, yet the single player game play is also very good.
I'd only get GTA 4 for the online play. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: TheRedPriest on 23 October 2008, 15:22:47 Don't get the chicken finger basket thing more than once a month. My friend used to have it a lot and he noticed a dramatic increase in acne, he then promptly quit having that meal and it cleared up. Never got into BoF1, I love 2, 3 is great and 4 isn't too bad either. 5 is the X7 of BoF, and successfully killed the franchise. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Edgecrusher on 23 October 2008, 15:41:26 I weep for the Breath of Fire franchise.
Also, BoF 1 was decent, but the story line wasn't quite as epic as 2 or 3. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Chron on 25 October 2008, 01:22:53 IV is my favorite there, but then I love the whole Fou-Lou thing.
And the music is wonderful. V is an atrocity to RPGs and the ideas contained within should never see the light of day again. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Edgecrusher on 25 October 2008, 01:24:47 I haz Fallout 3.
Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Johncarllos on 25 October 2008, 04:02:29 OMG GUITAR HERO WORLD TOOOOUR!!!!!!
I want it, but I don't wanna shell out $50 right now, considering how little money I have in general. I'm doing online surveys to win a $50 gift card to Gamestop. Worth the time. I opted against the full band kit, as the drums need their own Wii Remote to work wirelessly, and I can get any ol' USB mic for the vocals. I'll miss the nice new guitar though...... Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: ASR on 25 October 2008, 04:12:02 ...but don't you need the drum set?
Well, anyway, is it out now? And does is it interchangeable with Rock Band instruments at all? Basically, I can't decide if I want to get Rock Band 2 or Guitar Hero World Tour. I'm leaning more towards Rock Band 2 only because I already own all the instruments, but then again, they updated their drum set, too, so, well, #####. At first I wasn't gonna' get either but now I really want one. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Johncarllos on 25 October 2008, 04:36:37 All rock band 1 and 2 instruments work with Guitar Hero World tour.
Pretty much, everything works with these new games now. Also, it comes out in about 24 hours and 24 minutes. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: NovaMan XP on 25 October 2008, 04:40:31 Uh, doesn't Guitar Hero's drum set have an extra button or whatever (I heard that anyway)?
I don't care for either one though, I'm fine with GHII. Now, if someone were to give the game to me I'd be cool with that. And that might happen. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Johncarllos on 25 October 2008, 04:43:51 In Guitar Hero World Tour, if you connect the Rock Band drums, the note chart will change as it will KNOW that there are only 4 pads and a Bass pedal.
It a really neato feature. ALSO, you can connect Midi drum sets to the GH:WT drums and use that instead, if you wish. Pretty neat stuff. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: ASR on 25 October 2008, 04:51:50 I think what I'll end up doing is comparing songlists.
I heard the other day that Rock Band 2 has Linkin Park on it. That is interesting to me, since I never really thought of them ever being included in these games. I'm too lazy to check, but any confirmation on that? I figure it's probably like "In The End" or something new from Minutes to Midnight like "What I've Done." Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Mikero on 28 October 2008, 22:54:46 I haz Fallout 3. Is it as good as it looks? It looks really cool. I haven't played the first two or anything but I just saw a bit about it on TV. I've been thinking about getting a 360, this would be something I'd want to try. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: von Teelio on 29 October 2008, 01:45:25 Resistance 2 looks #####in spectacular. But godammit, you stupid piece of ass##### PS3...
Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: MOX on 29 October 2008, 02:54:58 I'm currently playing the beta for Resistance 2, once it closes on the 30th I'll be sad because I'm only saving up enough money for Little Big Planet =(. The 8 player Co-Op is my favorite part of the beta, fighting thousands of monsters.
I was impressed by Fallout 3 from the E3 trailer but I haven't played the past games. I'd want to play it as an RPG though it looks too easy if you can just automatically select the head when attacking, then again I'm not exactly sure how the RPG elements work in the game. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Chron on 29 October 2008, 03:04:17 Select head, chance to miss, generates a chance to hit other body parts near the head or air. That's how it works from what I understand of it.
Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: MOX on 29 October 2008, 03:05:58 Oh, that clarifies things more for me.
Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Mikero on 29 October 2008, 03:33:45 But I'm sure constantly aiming for the head and killing would make your character turn into a bad guy. Which is naturally what 99% of players will do, but I'd opt for disabling weapons or enemy locomotion instead.
Yes, it's one of those new games where you can "do anything and go anywhere" but probably really can't and also one of those new games where "every choice you make effects everything" but there's probably only a small amount of end results. But that kind of stuff is very interesting to me. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Chron on 29 October 2008, 03:41:03 Just like Oblivion.
And from what I remember it's the same guys. I'd still like to work for them though. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Edgecrusher on 29 October 2008, 22:58:53 From what I've played so far of Fallout 3, I like it. If you're a fan of the last two Elder Scrolls games, then this should be right up your alley.
Yes, you can go almost anywhere you want within the first 45 minutes of the game. The enemies are scaled to you, but there's a good bit of range to that scale, so there are certain areas that if you wander into, be prepared to get decimated. It's almost suffocating in it's size. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Mikero on 30 October 2008, 03:09:03 Nice.
Chron, let's get this and go around looking at rocks! Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Edgecrusher on 30 October 2008, 07:05:34 I find it humorous how the game is grey and bland, exactly what you would expect after a nuclear holocaust, and yet the dirty reality of it all seems trite, since it's the same visual color palette that most games of this generation have been using.
Not that Fallout wasn't grandfathered into the look, I just find it funny how it seems to have less impact than it probably should. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Mikero on 31 October 2008, 02:42:19 Is there lots of bloom too? New games love to jack the bloom.
(See: Twilight Princess) Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Vinchenz Rock on 31 October 2008, 06:28:18 Yeah, the bloom is jacked from what I saw.
Quick story that's kind-of related to Fallout 3... We all have experiences where the employees are just plain asses to us. And I have a story to tell, which happened today. While some of my friends were at Wal-Mart doing their Halloween business, me and another guy went to EBGames because I needed to exchange some games for another friend and he (the guy with me) wanted to buy Fallout 3 and Far-Cry 2. The employee asked if I had ID. I don't have ID on me, and he tells me I can't sell the games because I needed to be 18 (which I am) to do so. So, as a last ditch effort, I showed him my birth certificate and he accepted it. He let me sell the games and I put it on a gift card. Next, my friend went to buy his games. The worker didn't think he was 17 so he showed his Status Card to prove he's 17. Now, a status card is, for the uneducated, a card showing that you're Native. It also has a mugshot of you with your birthday. And this is a Government issued piece of identification. The guy, who is an Assistant Manager according to his name tag, did not accept the status card. And yet, he accepted my birth certificate which was not only laminated thus voiding it, and while it is Government issued, it doesn't have my mugshot on it. Just a bunch of text that I could have easily printed out myself. In the end, I bought the games for him because there wasn't much else we could do (didn't want to go through the trouble of calling the manager and we were in a hurry anyway). So yep. Another case of dumb EBGames/GameStop employees. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: ASR on 31 October 2008, 07:34:59 ...so you weren't carrying your ID, but your birth certificate happened to be handy?
Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Johncarllos on 31 October 2008, 13:09:49 That's all I use.....
Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Vinchenz Rock on 31 October 2008, 14:46:38 ...so you weren't carrying your ID, but your birth certificate happened to be handy? I don't have any other form of ID. I knew it wouldn't work much as ID because it doesn't my my mugshot on it. But I thought it would become handy someday. That's all I use..... WE ARE BROTHERBAND NOW. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: ASR on 31 October 2008, 14:47:15 Don't you get a school ID or something?
I literally can't go anywhere without my school ID because so many things on campus require it. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Vinchenz Rock on 31 October 2008, 15:00:44 Don't you get a school ID or something? Kind of, but it doesn't have my birthday on it. And I only need to use my ID when I buy food and when I want to open my room door. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Johncarllos on 31 October 2008, 15:05:31 I use my ID to get food.
That's about it. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: ASR on 31 October 2008, 15:16:21 Same, but I use it often. And every once in a while, like after an exam, they require you to show it.
Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Fatso on 31 October 2008, 15:40:14 My ID doesn't get pulled out much, but tuition came with a bus pass included, which I use daily. In fact, I think it paid itself off in about ten days.
Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Mikero on 1 November 2008, 21:28:09 School IDs and bus passes...
... do not have your birthdate. ... are not government issued, thus inadmissible as a valid form of Photo ID. However, I've used it to back up my Driver's License when people think I'm underage at bars. I'm 22, not 18. The only things you can use here are basically; -A driver's license. -A health card (but only the new kind that have photos, which is not the kind I have, and people can't ask you to show your health card, but you are allowed to show it). -A First Nations satus card ("Native" card), a birth certificate (no photo, though). -Or a government security clearance (like I have for work, no birthdate however but proves your identity at banks and stuff). Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Edgecrusher on 2 November 2008, 04:35:05 That guy can be seriously repramanded for not selling your friend a game. We're supposed to accept any government issued ID, including (but not limited to) ID Cards, Drivers Licenses, Military ID's, and birth certificates (which happens more often than you might think).
If he was my employee, he would at least be written up. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Mikero on 2 November 2008, 04:48:50 I'd like to know which EB that was too. I know some employees at a few around the city.
Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Vinchenz Rock on 2 November 2008, 16:08:20 I'm not sure exactly where we were. We took one of the 95 Buses to this place with a bunch of shops and there was that Wal-Mart I was talking about and the Indigo book store near-by too.
Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Mikero on 2 November 2008, 23:41:40 The 95 cuts the city in half east to west, and the 2 cuts it in half north to south. So you're dealing with a big area. I know the 95's route like the back of my hand but I've no idea where you went, so I guess you walked somewhere from the bus stop.
I'm trying to think of where there's a Wal-Mart on the route. I guess if you walked from Lincoln Fields or the train station... Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Vinchenz Rock on 3 November 2008, 00:36:53 Yeah, it didn't stop us directly to the shops, we had like a five minute walk to get there. And we didn't get off at the last stop.
We were heading west from Baseline, anyway. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Mikero on 3 November 2008, 01:12:16 I think you mean East 'cause West from Baseline would take you to Fallowfield, and I don't remember ever seeing a Wal-Mart anywhere around that direction. Plus, from Baseline, Fallowfield is only a few stops since it's the end of the 95's extended westbound route (which usually ENDS with Baseline). But I'm not from Fallowfield/Barrhaven because it's stupid, so I don't know for sure.
I think there's a #####tly Wal-Mart near an EB on Merivale, but the 95 wouldn't bring you anywhere near there. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Vinchenz Rock on 3 November 2008, 06:06:08 No, we really went west. And we drove for about 25 minutes.
If it's bugging you on where we went, I also remember seeing a Wendy's near by (not in the same street as the shops) and we stopped at a TD Canadian Trust bank. Beside the Wal-Mart is an Indigo book store and across both of those stores are the small shops, with EBGames being near the end. And that's all I can really tell you. If I ever head back there I can confirm where we went. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Mikero on 3 November 2008, 22:49:28 That sounds more like Merivale than anywhere west on the 95 from Baseline.
I don't really care, it's just weird because I know the 95 route like the back of my hand. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: ASR on 3 November 2008, 23:33:44 APPARENTLY NOT.
Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Mikero on 3 November 2008, 23:38:05 I definitely do. I've been taking it from it's start to it's end for years.
Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: ASR on 3 November 2008, 23:44:37 ...objection...
Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Mikero on 3 November 2008, 23:45:18 ...goeatadick...
Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Vinchenz Rock on 10 November 2008, 13:53:49 Megaman 3 has been released on Virtual Console today.
Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: ASR on 10 November 2008, 14:19:23 Huh. That is cool. And unexpected.
Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: preventerWIND on 10 November 2008, 14:23:19 Thats quick, I thought it'd be a bit longer before it came to VC.
I can't wait for my own Wii, I'm gonna load it up with Mega Man! : U Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Fatso on 10 November 2008, 16:50:24 #####, now I have to go get that.
Good thing I saved up 500 Wii Points. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: NovaMan XP on 10 November 2008, 21:18:32 #####, I only have #####ing 400 Wii points.
##### you Nintendo, ##### you and your damn point system. I can't buy 100 points, no I have to #####ING BUY ANOTHER 1000 AND I DON'T WANT TO... Eh. I'll try to get it though. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: preventerWIND on 10 November 2008, 21:19:47 Could be worse, you could be me and have to buy 2000 points every time. Once I get my own I'm gonna load up on points, I'll be on the VC more than I'll be on actual Wii games.
Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: NovaMan XP on 10 November 2008, 21:21:22 Just use a credit card/debit card. I've found it to be MUCH easier than going to the store to buy only 2000 point cards.
Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: preventerWIND on 10 November 2008, 21:24:49 My family doesn't believe in credit cards >.>
Debit'll do just fine though. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Fatso on 10 November 2008, 21:29:08 That's a good policy. I intend to go as long as I can without credit.
Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: ChaosVortex on 10 November 2008, 21:42:56 I gifted the game to Annie (again).
I have 100 points left. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: ASR on 10 November 2008, 21:56:37 What I'm thinking of doing is getting another Points Card and downloading this and World of Goo, which really has my attention.
Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Vinchenz Rock on 10 November 2008, 23:43:33 Debit'll do just fine though. You can't, you Canadian dolt! Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Johncarllos on 10 November 2008, 23:46:51 SHUT UP DEBIT CARDS WORK FINE JACKASS.
I've used mine like 3-4 times. A mastercard based debit card. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: ASR on 10 November 2008, 23:48:15 I use my Via one all the time.
EDIT: Eh, Visa. VISA. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Majikn on 11 November 2008, 00:12:52 I have 400 points!
How many times are we going to have this discussion of debit cards on the Wii system? Your debit card needs to have the Mastercard or Visa symbol on it to work. Otherwise, if you don't have a credit card, you're stuck buying whatever cards are offered in nearby stores. And whatever, use the extra and buy something else you like, because you're not going to refund it. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Fatso on 11 November 2008, 00:16:40 In Canada we actually get our debit cards from the bank, not the company that controls the bank.
Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: ASR on 11 November 2008, 00:18:09 Well, mine SAYS National City on it but it ALSO says Visa.
Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: preventerWIND on 11 November 2008, 00:22:57 Debit'll do just fine though. I've never used it before, nor do I know about buying Wii points at other than stores, you Canadian chump. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Johncarllos on 11 November 2008, 00:46:03 Maine says KENNEBEC SAVING BANK with a little mastercard symbol in the corner.
Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Mikero on 11 November 2008, 02:17:37 I don't want to download MM3.
Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: preventerWIND on 11 November 2008, 03:18:44 It's okay Mike, it's not illegal this way!
Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Mikero on 11 November 2008, 03:20:02 I want other games more right now. Like MM2. And MARIO RPG!
But I'm saving what I've got for MM9 content first. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Vinchenz Rock on 11 November 2008, 03:23:50 Oh, Mike, when you get your credit card, make sure you get it a few weeks before your trip because it took my card to be mailed to me in 2 weeks.
Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Mikero on 11 November 2008, 03:29:07 That's IF I end up finding out when I'm going, and that's IF I'm going too.
GREAT PLANNING. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: ASR on 11 November 2008, 03:54:05 Maine says KENNEBEC SAVING BANK with a little mastercard symbol in the corner. I didn't know states could talk! Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Johncarllos on 11 November 2008, 05:00:00 WHERE THE ##### DID THAT A IN "MINE" COME FROM?!?!?!
Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Mikero on 11 November 2008, 06:15:19 Maine would eat the Dakota twins if it would impress Minnesota. But she's a cheerleader and Maine is a mathlete, so... Yeah.
Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: von Teelio on 11 November 2008, 16:58:08 So I borrowed that new Quantum of Solace video game from a friend, and played through the first few missions.
Holy #####. This game is beautiful. The controls are so better to handle compared to Nightfire, and everything just goes smoothly. It makes that Goldeneye sequel look like #####, pretty much. It now takes the spot of one of my top favorite Bond games. Goldeneye > Quantum > Everything or Nothing > Agent Under Fire > Tomorrow Never Dies > Rogue Agent Nightfire and World is Not Enough are somewhere in last place. I have yet to play From Russia with Love, but I'm planning to purchase it real soon. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: TheRedPriest on 11 November 2008, 18:46:19 I don't see Diamonds are Forever for the C64 on your little list. It's a well known fact that was the best Bond game ever made.
Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: von Teelio on 11 November 2008, 18:49:57 That's another one I haven't played.
Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Edgecrusher on 11 November 2008, 18:52:05 Mirrors Edge was pretty good. Short, and occasionally frustrating, but it does a pretty good job of conveying the rush that must be associated with parkour.
Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Mikero on 11 November 2008, 22:01:52 I really need to play that game.
Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: ASR on 11 November 2008, 23:14:41 I was about to ask how you have it already, but I remembered you work at a Gamestop.
I would be getting that if BK3 wasn't $20 cheaper and looked like I'd get a lot more replay value out of it. It was one or the other. Edge, since you'd probably know, can I expect BK:N&B in stores tomorrow? Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Edgecrusher on 12 November 2008, 00:57:30 They shipped it to stores just today, so unless you live in the middle of nowhere; yes.
Also, I'm extremely fortunate in my pre-releases. My store managers score free ##### for different systems, and I'm the only one there who actually owns a PS3 (irony). I'm sure it isn't very common in most stores, but I'm also sure our building manager is sucking the CEO's dick. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Mikero on 12 November 2008, 01:15:17 Nice... ?
Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: ASR on 12 November 2008, 01:20:08 Alright, good, 'cause the demo for Mirror's Edge said "In Stores November 13th" but the release date is the 11th, and that's the same as BK.
And I know the whole dealio with ship dates having the game actually arrive in stores a day or two after the release date and whatever, and it's hard to get rides out to the stores around here so I don't want to drive out for nothing. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Edgecrusher on 12 November 2008, 02:23:25 Completely understandable.
It sucks to be the guy who has to tell people that we don't have it yet as well. I don't know why the release date isn't the day it's available in stores. What's the point in announcing it's shipping? Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Vinchenz Rock on 12 November 2008, 06:20:02 (http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k213/Sailor2003UB313/Games/1226423757981-1.png)
Want. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Majikn on 12 November 2008, 06:46:41 Wait... they're all adapted to Wii? I am amazed.
EDIT: I mean the first two, obviously. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Vinchenz Rock on 12 November 2008, 06:54:57 Yes.
Pikmin and Pikmin 2 are getting the same treatment. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: ChaosVortex on 12 November 2008, 11:40:56 u go get ur dum Prime
I'll be thinkin about Pikmins. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: ASR on 12 November 2008, 15:23:12 I actually DO want that. It would be a lot of fun to replay the first one with the Wiimote, and I've still never played the second.
And I sold the third a while ago but I want to replay it. As for Pikmin, I hated the first one. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: von Teelio on 12 November 2008, 17:26:08 Want. Oh how godly. I'm assuming they fixed the first two around to where you could play them with the Wiimote? Or what's the situation with that? Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Johncarllos on 12 November 2008, 18:35:13 I think all they did was make the Wii Remote function as the right analog stick.
Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: ASR on 12 November 2008, 18:39:16 The collector's set looks really nice. I wonder how much it would cost though. I also see Japanese writing on there, so who knows if it's even being released in that package outside of Japan. Because, yeah, I know they're re-releasing the first two with Wii controls like Pikmin and other games, but I wouldn't be surprised if only Japan got that nice little trilogy thing.
In other news, I might be getting Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts and Bolts today. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Mikero on 12 November 2008, 22:45:39 The second one sucks. I'm pretty sure the rest are only slightly less mind-numbingly boring.
I like the looks of the set more than what it actually is. Also, please stop saying "Wiimote", planet Earth. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: ASR on 12 November 2008, 23:15:41 I love that word. You'll never stop us!
Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: von Teelio on 12 November 2008, 23:17:34 Wiimote.
Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: preventerWIND on 12 November 2008, 23:18:15 WEE-MOAT : U
Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: NovaMan XP on 12 November 2008, 23:39:38 I always call it the Wii Remote. Wiimote sounds strange.
Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Vinchenz Rock on 12 November 2008, 23:52:15 I've been calling it the Wiimote ever since a remote was announced to be the controller and I will never stop calling it the Wiimote.
Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Majikn on 13 November 2008, 00:47:55 I can live with Wiimote despite how dumb it sounds. Well, I'm sure anyone can, but I'm just saying.
Adding "Wii" to everything, though, is silly. Like referring to the Wii editions of GC games as "Wii-makes." It's not funny, or clever, or even a decent fad. It's like pasting that weird face on everything with the caption "I'M CHARGIN' MY LASER" or whatever, and even that has the advantage of not being a horrible pun. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Edgecrusher on 13 November 2008, 00:49:46 I still have my GC versions of the first two Metroid Prime games, but will happily forsake them if this box set ever makes it to the US.
Metroid Prime + Wiimote = Win The second one gets a bad rap. Sure, it's the weakest of the three, but it's still a relatively good game. Especially considering all the other ##### out there these days. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Johncarllos on 13 November 2008, 02:36:09 I say Wii Remote.
It's the official name for it. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Mikero on 13 November 2008, 02:52:40 Exactly, and it sounds less silly.
I still have my GC versions of the first two Metroid Prime games, but will happily forsake them if this box set ever makes it to the US. Allz I know is that I was having an OK time, it wasn't really compelling or intriguing or exiciting enough that I'd be somewhere else wanting to be at home playing it like past Metroid games. But still I was having enough fun to keep playing. But then, it ust dropped and I lost all interest. It got REALLY "blah" (I wish I could described what I mean better, but I don't feel particularly articulate today so ##### off) out of nowhere. I love that word. You'll never stop us! But I asked politely! It's fine, you can all realize how stupid you sound later. I've been calling it the Wiimote ever since a remote was announced to be the controller and I will never stop calling it the Wiimote. You lie you #####in' guy. I think. Wasn't the controller announced as being a remote before they revealed the name change from the codename Revolution to Wii? Edit: Wait. No. Now I'm thinking you're right. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: von Teelio on 13 November 2008, 03:34:01 The second one gets a bad rap. Sure, it's the weakest of the three, but it's still a relatively good game. Especially considering all the other ##### out there these days. That's because Echoes had an unoriginal plot. Somebody on this forum told me that the intro was a rip off of Halo, and the intro in Corruption was a rip of Halo 2, what with the USS ship exploding and the Space Pirate attack. Regardless, both of those were amazing games. I'm still a diehard fan of the first game. T'was the best out of the 3, and still is. Next comes Corruption, then Echoes. The only thing I didn't like about Prime 1 was how lame the scan HUD was. Prime 2 could have had a way better storyline, but I did like the whole deal with going from light-dimension to dark. Space Pirates could have had a better role, and the creators should have stayed with the first design of the Space Pirates. Corruption was rather easy to get used to, and I loved the interaction. The grapple ability was to die for (tossing the nunchuck and pulling it back). The storyline and gameplay was real sweet. The Space Pirates looked like complete panseys. I got the most sucked into Corruption than any other game just because of the interaction and additional features and #####. Overall, the oldest Prime was great to me due to how dark it was. This trilogy set makes me want to buy my Wii back. =[ Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Mikero on 13 November 2008, 03:39:57 For the record, I'm very tired of games that focus on a light and dark version of the same world. It was cool in Zelda (the first time they did it. But for whatever reason, Twilight Princess' "twilight" world didn't really bother me) but since then it's been used enough that rarely does a game actually do anything unique with the concept.
Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Majikn on 13 November 2008, 03:42:41 Saying that being on a ship that gets attacked is a ripoff is like saying the word "hippopotamus" is plagiarized from the dictionary.
Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: von Teelio on 13 November 2008, 04:18:04 Saying that being on a ship that gets attacked is a ripoff is like saying the word "hippopotamus" is plagiarized from the dictionary. Have you even played Prime 3? You sure as hell don't know what I'm talking about. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Majikn on 13 November 2008, 04:49:54 I played Prime 3, and I was even so bored at one point that I have played Halo 2. Not all the way through mind you, but I have seen the part you're describing, and I stand by my statement.
... But I'll humour you and see if I can watch them through again. EDIT: No dice. To me, they're both shooters with an outer space theme, and I imagine ships get attacked a lot in stories like those. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Edgecrusher on 13 November 2008, 05:07:36 And Halo rips off Half-Life, and Half-Life rips off Doom, and Doom rips off Duke Nukem, and Duke Nukem Rips off Bruce Campbell.
Transitive property, then, says Metroid Prime ripped off Bruce Campbell Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Mikero on 13 November 2008, 05:17:47 You're the first person who isn't me (or ARE you....?) that I know that's said Doom rips off Duke Nukem.
Bolly! Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: ASR on 5 December 2008, 18:12:24 I might have to get this only because it's the closest thing to another movie we're ever going to get:
Ghostbusters Game Trailer (http://www.gametrailers.com/player/43329.html?ref=playerfeat) I can't tell what the gameplay is like at all, but it's definitely got the charm of a Ghostbusters movie. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Edgecrusher on 5 December 2008, 18:38:13 I love that Akroyd and Ramis wrote it, but so far that's the only thing I love.
Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: ASR on 5 December 2008, 18:53:11 Sadly I'm pretty sure that's the same way I feel. Just that they're involved, really.
Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Edgecrusher on 5 December 2008, 19:29:27 I'm mostly just skeptical because of the developer.
Bloodrayne sucked. Bloodrayne 2 sucked. Æon Flux sucked. Spy Hunter 3 sucked. The only things they've done well have been collections (Metal Slug, SNK, King of Fighters). This is not terribly reassuring. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: ASR on 5 December 2008, 19:31:47 Ugh. Well, then.
At least the cinematics and storyline will be nice. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Abominator on 5 December 2008, 22:45:51 I just don't understand why "they" continually give great licenses to #####ty companies.
Anyone looking forward to the SAW game? Me neither! Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: ASR on 5 December 2008, 23:33:16 Ugh. A Saw game?
Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Edgecrusher on 6 December 2008, 00:01:41 ROFL
Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: ASR on 6 December 2008, 00:11:38 Saw is actually appealing to me as a point-and-click adventure game, now that I think about it.
Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Abominator on 6 December 2008, 00:57:40 Nothing from "Brash Entertainment" is appealing:
http://www.gamerankings.com/htmlpages2/944718.asp http://www.gamerankings.com/htmlpages2/942807.asp http://www.gamerankings.com/htmlpages2/943993.asp Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Mikero on 6 December 2008, 01:07:29 I hope they have ALL the Ghostbusters in this game.
Saw is actually appealing to me as a point-and-click adventure game, now that I think about it. Yeah, it's probably just choices. But as I dislike the Saw movie series, there's no way I'm bringing it into my HOME with a game. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Edgecrusher on 6 December 2008, 03:47:22 I liked the first Saw. Everything after has been weak. Kind of like the Nightmare on Elm Street movies.
Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Mikero on 6 December 2008, 04:00:32 My big issue with Saw is the idea that these are horror films. They're not scary, just gross, it's a whole other thing.
Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Majikn on 6 December 2008, 04:14:46 And yet most horror films fail at being scary anyway. They keep doing ##### that's already been done.
I hate the genre. Really. Saw was a breath of fresh air (bearing in mind I know that this is coming from someone underexposed to the genre). It didn't need to be scary; I actually thought of Jigsaw as a hero in his own way and that appealed to me. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Mikero on 6 December 2008, 04:22:10 Yeah the only horror movies I like are legitimately scary, without being completely stupid. Which limits me to old stuff I can't bring myself to watch. At least if it's not scary I like a psychological thing. I guess saw is a psychological thriller? I don't know, I think it's just an excuse for gore, at least after the first one anyway.
It's no Silence Of The Lambs AKA Mike's favourite movie. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: ASR on 6 December 2008, 07:13:42 The first Saw was GREAT. I will stand by that.
The second one was... enticing... and it held me interest, but by 3 things were flat and remain so. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Edgecrusher on 6 December 2008, 21:35:06 I never really considered Saw a horror film.
It seemed like more of a Psychological Thriller than anything else. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: ASR on 6 December 2008, 21:53:22 Or death porn.
Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: NovaMan XP on 7 December 2008, 20:26:09 MGS4 for the 360? ##### yes. (http://www.konami.jp/kojima_pro/mgst/?ref=kjp_jp)
Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: ASR on 7 December 2008, 20:39:40 I only kind of hope that's true because that's one less excuse for me not to have played the MGS games.
Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Edgecrusher on 7 December 2008, 21:31:33 I don't know why everyone keeps jumping to this conclusion.
OMG LOOK! A UNIVERSAL POWER SYMBOL! The only thing about that that's even remotely 360 is the color, but even that has been used in all sorts of things. Monochrome communicator font comes to mind. Add to that the fact that a 360 port would require roughly 5-6 dual layer DVDs, and the fact that Kojima has repeatedly said that it wasn't something he was going to do. If it's anything, it's an advert for another Metal Gear Ac!d. I'm not saying that the 360 won't see a Metal Gear game, but I AM saying it won't be MGS4. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Captain Sanoguchi on 7 December 2008, 22:01:23 Bah! Hideo's fooled all of you!
It's going to be a game for the Wii! An awesome one! I just know it is! It has to be! Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: NovaMan XP on 7 December 2008, 22:23:56 I won't be surprised if it isn't MGS4 for the 360. But I like thinking it will be. >_>
Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Edgecrusher on 7 December 2008, 22:42:12 *sighs and shakes head*
I've been spending too much time on the GameTrailers forums arguing with fanboys lately. I swear, other gamers are making me dislike my choice in hobby. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Mikero on 7 December 2008, 22:51:55 I agree. I know people that think "gamerscores" are worth paying attention to. Uhf.
Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Edgecrusher on 8 December 2008, 02:07:07 It goes so far beyond gamerscore though.
The average gamer these days is guilty of two primary sins: 1.) Taking themselves too seriously. This is why games that aren't hyper-realistic or shooters are seen as being "too kiddie" If you aren't killing something or humiliating someone, there's "no point". 2.) Having no imagination. If they don't thirst for variety, developers stop trying. This is how we ended up with so many essentially identical first-person shooters. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Captain Sanoguchi on 8 December 2008, 02:23:23 .
Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Fatso on 8 December 2008, 03:58:53 It goes so far beyond gamerscore though. YES. I'm still a shooter fan, but I want my Battlezone and Tribes back. And my TIE Fighter, for that matter. Think another X-Wing game wouldn't sell out in a day? Think again. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Edgecrusher on 8 December 2008, 17:54:18 The irony here is that developers were far more creative when they where far more restricted by what a console could do.
Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Someguy on 8 December 2008, 20:13:27 http://kotaku.com/5104351/oh-snaps-soulja-boy-getting-his-own-game
I think the link explains it all Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Edgecrusher on 8 December 2008, 20:42:31 Did you see his video about Braid? "Ther ain't no point to tha game."
He embodies what I hate about the new wave of gamers, Hollywood and rappers all at once. I'm not racist, but I can certainly see why some people are. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: NovaMan XP on 8 December 2008, 20:46:15 Soulja Boy should stop existing.
Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: ASR on 8 December 2008, 21:10:46 His video about Braid was hilarious to me even though I knew deep down that it was painful for me to watch.
Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Captain Sanoguchi on 9 December 2008, 05:36:01 Whatever happened to Anonymous campaigning to end Soulja Boy's reign of ignorance and #####ty music?
Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Edgecrusher on 9 December 2008, 13:16:44 I understand why people dislike him so much, but he's really not THAT much worse than a lot of other rappers out there.
Maybe we should just have a campaign against all that ignorant bull##### in general? Or at the very least a campaign against the "artists" that are clearly doing nothing but reinforcing the stereotype that black people only care about spinning rims, crack and shooting each other. READ A BOOK! (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GlKL_EpnSp8) BET is the worst thing to ever happen to black people. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: ASR on 9 December 2008, 17:41:39 I liked that video.
Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Edgecrusher on 9 December 2008, 19:34:52 Also worth watching is when D'Mite was interviewed on CNN for that song.
The news anchor couldn't have missed the point any more if he tried. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: ASR on 9 December 2008, 19:39:43 Yeah, I watched that via the related videos. It pissed me off.
"You don't understand satire." I'll never understand people who get all angry over pieces of art that they deem offensive for some reason, from rap music to Grand Theft Auto to violent movies... and so much more. Maybe I just don't know what it's like to be truly offended by something, since I've yet to really find something so horribly distasteful that it actually really offended me. Everyone just needs to chill the ##### out and stop getting so worked up over everything with their false or irrelevant values because if it clouds your vision so much that you can't even recognize satire (not even harmless satire, but HELPFUL satire), there is seriously something wrong. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: ChaosVortex on 9 December 2008, 19:48:55 I could see why that would be offensive, but when that one guy said, "Kids don't understand satire", that's a load of crap.
This especially isn't hard to figure out. Now they're just calling the younger generation stupid. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Edgecrusher on 9 December 2008, 20:43:12 That depends on how he defines a "kid"
If he's talking about (as their conversation would imply) kids of a "Sesame Street" age, then he's absolutely correct. A true understanding of satire requires a level of mental processing that children rarely possess before the age of 11 or so. This holds particularly true in the arena of purely abstract and immaterial concepts like race. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: ASR on 9 December 2008, 21:03:16 I still know people who don't understand satire.
Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Vinchenz Rock on 9 December 2008, 21:09:29 Nothing ever offends me. :/
Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Mikero on 10 December 2008, 01:40:16 I hope they have ALL the Ghostbusters in this game. Bana na na nana!

Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: NovaMan XP on 10 December 2008, 01:59:16 It will.
The Wii version already looks pretty crap. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Mikero on 10 December 2008, 02:12:02 I think the style is good, but yes the actual graphics could be much better.
Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Fatso on 10 December 2008, 02:16:56 They seem to habitually forget that the Wii is actually a modern gaming platform capable of better than circa-1999 3D rendering.
Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Mikero on 10 December 2008, 02:18:31 Whatever, I'm hoping for a Ghostbusters game that's actually good.
Unlikely, but it's a dream. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Vinchenz Rock on 10 December 2008, 07:06:34 I just orgasm'd.
Dragon Quest X is announced for the Wii! (not that any of you guys care...) Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Johncarllos on 10 December 2008, 15:04:03 THE TALES OF SYMPHONIA GAME IS OUT FOR THE WIIIII
I want. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Edgecrusher on 10 December 2008, 15:34:33 So do I.
My brother has my Wii right now though, so I'm spending my money elsewhere for now. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Vinchenz Rock on 10 December 2008, 16:10:47 Its been out for a while.
It's pretty short, but still fun. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Johncarllos on 10 December 2008, 18:30:58 It's only $40 too.
Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Someguy on 16 December 2008, 20:16:18 The crap keeps coming

Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: NovaMan XP on 16 December 2008, 23:09:56 ...
Why? Unless it uses the ACTUAL characters and not base their looks on their movie versions... its gonna look #####ing retarded. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Mikero on 17 December 2008, 05:19:10 It's called Dragonball:The Movie. Count on it being based on the movie.
Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Captain Sanoguchi on 17 December 2008, 05:26:09 Who cares?
It's a PSP game. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Johncarllos on 17 December 2008, 05:40:15 Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: NovaMan XP on 17 December 2008, 16:57:06 More good news!
Remember that teaser for a new MGS game? Turns out its coming out not for the 360... no, not even on a real console! It's coming out on the iPhone! (http://www.gamespot.com/news/6202410.html?tag=recent_news;img;1) What a great idea! Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Edgecrusher on 17 December 2008, 17:33:35 I guess I don't really get the fuss over iPhones.
It's a phone with a touch screen that does some other things too. I had a PDA once and I never used it. I have a cell phone that does a bunch of extra #####, but I only ever use it as a phone. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: ASR on 17 December 2008, 18:55:15 I actually kind of like the iPhones, and I feel like I might actually use a handful of the applications or games. When I had a PDA, I never touched it after the first week I got it. And like Edge, my phone can do a lot, but I only use it for calling and texting, really.
Still, there's something about iPhones. Maybe the fact that it's also an iPod, so I would use it pretty much non-stop anyway. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Edgecrusher on 17 December 2008, 20:01:27 My Motorola does the mp3 thing too, but I never end up using it.
I think the iPhone thing is more about allure than it is practicality. Although, what isn't? Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: ASR on 17 December 2008, 20:25:51 Just socks, really.
Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: NovaMan XP on 15 January 2009, 21:24:25 So, Resident Evil 5 demo will be available (officially) for everyone outside of Japan tomorrow.
I've already played the Japanese version, but I hope the English demo has some actual gore in it. I want to see some severed Chris and Sheva heads when the Chainsaw guy hits me! And some smarter AI. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Abominator on 15 January 2009, 23:42:55 I hope it's good, but I'd prefer Wii Controls after 4.
Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Mikero on 16 January 2009, 00:14:34 Just socks, really. I have green soccer socks that would melt your heart, bud. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: NovaMan XP on 16 January 2009, 00:26:47 I hope it's good, but I'd prefer Wii Controls after 4. Same here. RE4 Wii edition was damn good. Even though it may not happen, I do hope for RE5 to be ported to the Wii sorta like Dead Rising did... except not have the graphics look like something on the early PS2. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: ASR on 16 January 2009, 00:31:45 Just socks, really. I don't think I'd wear green socks. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Mikero on 16 January 2009, 02:55:34 They're soccer socks. They're for playing soccer in, from when I was on a green team. Although since such socks are super long and thick, I sometimes wear them indoors or out if I have to do something in the snow. Or if I decide to get all decked out to watch a Celtics game.
They are great socks. I was on an orange team once, and my dad stole my orange socks that are exactly the same (but orange). Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: ASR on 16 January 2009, 06:07:28 I have a handful of pairs of white socks with a green stripe on them around the toes, and that's good enough for me.
Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Mikero on 18 January 2009, 19:17:01 That's stupid. You're stupid. First of all you don't put the stripe at the toes, and second of all reverse those colours and you have no idea how much fun you're having. (Clue: A lot.)
Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: ASR on 18 January 2009, 20:00:21 I do not possess sock-color-reversal technology, otherwise I'd get right on that.
Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Mikero on 19 January 2009, 00:53:44 #####ing right you would.
Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: ASR on 19 January 2009, 01:14:16 WHO'S THE ONE WITH 20+ GREEN SHIRTS
Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Mikero on 19 January 2009, 19:11:02 I'm guessing you. Because I have many for a normal person, but nowhere near par for an abnormal person who is Alec Robbinsface.
Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: ASR on 19 January 2009, 23:17:06 Actually, it's NOT me! I just counted and I only have 19 green shirts. "Only."
Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Mikero on 20 January 2009, 02:03:20 I can see that in the future you'll have 30+.
Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: ASR on 20 January 2009, 02:28:42 But how far in the future? Like, I hope not right-before-I-die future, because by then I hope to have 40+.
Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Mikero on 20 January 2009, 03:10:01 Can't tell you that. Temporal Prime Directive.
Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: ASR on 20 January 2009, 04:32:24 Well, can you tell me how rich, popular, and famous I become in the future?
Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Mikero on 20 January 2009, 07:18:04 No, I can't exactly say that.
Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: ASR on 20 January 2009, 13:58:02 Well, you just get less rich and popular and famous as time goes on.
Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Mikero on 21 January 2009, 00:11:04 You wish.

Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Johncarllos on 21 January 2009, 23:51:35 I won't play it.
The next game I intend to purchase is No More Heroes 2. Slated for release in a year. That'll be pretty much the only reason I'll keep my Wii. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: NovaMan XP on 22 January 2009, 00:33:39 And it's 8-bit. I'm sure Mega Man 9 was the inspiration for that...
Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Mikero on 23 January 2009, 00:36:56 I think it looks like a bad you-know-what hack.
Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: NovaMan XP on 26 January 2009, 20:58:42 Downloading RE5 demo now.
Anyone wanna play Co-op on Live at all? Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Vinchenz Rock on 26 January 2009, 21:20:58 Screw you Xbox guys.

Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: saldite on 12 February 2009, 21:54:30 I've never had a problem with RE4, and I've liked what I've played of RE5.
I only liked the first of the originals, though. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Mikero on 12 February 2009, 22:01:17 You're nuts.
RE2 ruled. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: ChaosVortex on 13 February 2009, 03:33:46 I've only played RE4.
But ask me if I care about any of the other games. Wait. I'll save you the trouble. "No." Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: NovaMan XP on 13 February 2009, 04:36:13 YOU'RE ALL DUM.
I liked RE4, and I like the rest of them too even if RE4 is the only one I can actually beat... <_< At least RE4 didn't remove the #####ing TYPEWRITERS, put the game in BRIGHT DAYLIGHT, and turn Resident Evil into Gears of War 3. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Mikero on 13 February 2009, 05:09:35 RE4 IS in bright daylight...
It's just bland undecipherable daylight on bland undecipherable structures and humanoids. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Vinchenz Rock on 13 February 2009, 05:11:29 If you played farther it would go into the night...
Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Mikero on 13 February 2009, 05:13:40 No thank you, it was blah in the day. And indoors.
I could keep playing it, but... Eh. I'd rather watch it, which means it's not for me. Like MGS3. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Vinchenz Rock on 13 February 2009, 05:17:50 That's fine, I didn't actually play too much of it either.
Though I've never really played any of the games. I just think the idea of playing Resident Evil with a friend fun. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: NovaMan XP on 13 February 2009, 05:18:27 It is fun with a friend.
But it's a horrible Resident Evil game nonetheless. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Kamon on 13 February 2009, 16:30:59 I don't like that you have to stop moving in order to shoot or reload. It feels unneccesary, like they're trying to find cheap/lazy ways to increase the difficulty.
Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Chron on 13 February 2009, 17:41:25 Or they just didn't want to finish programming the game.
Not that I've played it, but I've been in many a situation like that before. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Mikero on 14 February 2009, 02:41:38 From the way you say that Chron, I imagine you feel the same way about some programmers as I do about some writers. Or many writers, actually.
Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Chron on 14 February 2009, 02:44:04 Curiously disappointed in the shortcuts taken to push something through a deadline and/or make a quick buck?
If yes, then yes. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Mikero on 14 February 2009, 09:33:44 Really I just meant that they are often assholes, but that's pretty much the same.

Release dates for several games including Punch-Out!! and a... Stafy game!? Although, they changed his name to Starfy. Also, Punch-Out!! box art: http://cache.gawker.com/assets/images/2009/02/custom_1235656389014_punch.jpg Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Abominator on 28 February 2009, 18:34:57 Punch Out better be great, it has massive potential...
I thought Starfy was always called that except by people who pretend they're Japanese. I want to know more about ExciteBots! Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Vinchenz Rock on 28 February 2009, 18:54:21 Well, considering his name is Stafy in Brawl...
I never cared for the Excite series. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: NovaMan XP on 28 February 2009, 21:35:35 omfg

Really badly. The Legendary Starfy - June 8 Is that Staffy? That star dude from Brawl? Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Vinchenz Rock on 28 February 2009, 22:56:40 Yes, it is.
There have been five games in the series released in Japan, three on the GBA and two on the DS. This is the fifth one, so it doesn't seem like we're getting the other ones. I heard the series is good, though. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Slugkid on 1 March 2009, 04:24:23 This is the first Stafy game released out of Japan, right?
Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: ChaosVortex on 1 March 2009, 04:25:51 Since I've never seen one, I'd say so.
Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Abominator on 1 March 2009, 13:45:44 They always looked fun.
I still want Crazy Taxi for Wii. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Mikero on 2 March 2009, 22:21:34 That post looks great with your rolling avatar settling on your Mini.
Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: ASR on 2 March 2009, 22:22:51 And then I sat here for 30 seconds refreshing the page until I realized what I was doing.
Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Vinchenz Rock on 23 March 2009, 19:19:57 New Punch-Out!! Trailer! (http://gonintendo.com/?p=76574)
Fat Albe- I mean, Doc is back! So are the training sequences too! Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: NovaMan XP on 23 March 2009, 19:44:34 That's by far the best looking Wii game I've seen since Super Mario Galaxy.
I can't wait for this. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: preventerWIND on 23 March 2009, 19:48:08 Indeedlies. I'd love to get that.
Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Abominator on 23 March 2009, 22:24:55 It does look a bit good.
Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Johncarllos on 23 March 2009, 22:27:06 That looks pretty sweet.
I doubt I'll get it though, as I'm getting ready to trade my Wii for a 360. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: preventerWIND on 23 March 2009, 22:30:10 I find that stupid, because if some super fantastical game comes out for a Wii, you're Wii-less. I'd just buy a 360 somehow, you can trade games, but systems are no no's.
Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Johncarllos on 23 March 2009, 22:37:55 Name 10 great Wii games.
Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: NovaMan XP on 23 March 2009, 22:59:29 1. Super Mario Galaxy
2. Super Smash Bros. Brawl 3. Legend of Ze-- Oh wait, that's really a GameCube game ported to the Wii! 4. Resident Evil 4 Wii Edi-- Whoops, that's also a port to the Wii! 5. ... Mega Man 9? 6. ... 7. ##### Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Vinchenz Rock on 23 March 2009, 23:03:55 You forgot Metroid Prime 3, but yeah, Wii sucks pretty bad right now.
Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: preventerWIND on 23 March 2009, 23:05:27 No. You're missing my point.
I don't want to trade something big, I'd probably regret it. Even if the 360 is better here and there, the Wii has some qualities over the 360. But if you completely dislike it then go nuts. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Vinchenz Rock on 23 March 2009, 23:10:13 Yeah, that's why I said "Right now".
Nintendo is bound to announce a Zelda game sometime, maybe even later this year. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Johncarllos on 23 March 2009, 23:30:53 Well, No More Heroes is great.
Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: NovaMan XP on 24 March 2009, 00:47:06 I forgot No More Heroes.
That makes 7. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Vinchenz Rock on 24 March 2009, 01:09:24 Madworld is apparently really good.
Also, guys, don't forget that No More Heroes 2 has been announced. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: ChaosVortex on 24 March 2009, 01:21:23 Yeah, that's why I said "Right now". I still haven't completed Twilight Princess. No comment necessary, I just get bored for some reason time to time. It's still fun to replay. As for a new Zelda, it's the same thing I want out of Twilight Princess. Preferably anything BUT Wind Waker. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Vinchenz Rock on 24 March 2009, 01:26:09 As for a new Zelda, it's the same thing I want out of Twilight Princess. Preferably anything BUT Wind Waker. Wind Waker was awesome and is better than Twilight Princess. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: ASR on 24 March 2009, 01:26:41 What? Are you CRAZY, Chaos? Wind Waker #####ing rocked. Arguably better than Ocarina of Time if I didn't have such a nostalgic connection to Ocarina. It's miles better than Twilight Princess.
I know a guy who says Madworld is awesome. Not my kind of game, but hey. I hated No More Heroes after a week with it (but I loved it for the first week.) I haven't bought a new game since... Wario Land Shake It. And before that it was MegaMan 9, and before that, it was Brawl. Oh, and Banjo Kazooie. I think that was the most recent purchase, actually. That kept me occupied for longer than any of those games except MM9. Oh, and wait, I got Rock Band 2, whenever that came out. But that hardly counts. It's more of a party thing. I haven't touched my DS in months. I'm really fading out of video games, ha. But yeah, even as a diehard Nintendo fan, I'll admit that 360 is the better system. The Wii's just not getting any big games, and that's odd to me. I don't know, it feels like they gave up on it. Punch-Out looks cool but from what I can tell, it's basically just an updated version of the original. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: NovaMan XP on 24 March 2009, 01:44:24 I believe Developers give up on it because they think either:
A) They HAVE to use motion controls in their games. B) The Wii has inferior graphics, therefore it isn't worth it. ... Although I have to say, I really wish Nintendo stepped up on the graphics a bit more for the Wii, because then we'd actually have stuff like RE5 on the Wii instead of crap like Dead Rising: Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: ChaosVortex on 24 March 2009, 01:47:06 What? Are you CRAZY, Chaos? Wind Waker #####ing rocked. Arguably better than Ocarina of Time if I didn't have such a nostalgic connection to Ocarina. It's miles better than Twilight Princess. I've heard this crap many times before. Wind Waker just never appealed to me, and I especially don't like sailing the seas. Also, on an not-so-important note, I felt back-stabbed by Nintendo when I saw the graphics. I like a much darker tone when playing 3D Zelda. Call me weird. In fact, I only like Phantom Hourglass just a little because it felt more like the old school Zelda. But to answer your question directly: Are you CRAZY? Yes. This should be established. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Majikn on 24 March 2009, 02:32:25 OH ##### HERE WE GO
Wind Waker is beautiful. I love the graphics and the scenery and the art style. It's stylistically—musically and visually—the most unique in the series in my view. And I DO love the game. But no, it's NOT better than Twilight Princess. Twilight Princess kicked its ass. And it had nothing to do with the art style, it was just better. Main issues: - HURRDURRR I'M SAILING THE SEAS I would get up and make a sandwich and eat it every time I had to go somewhere. - TRIFORCE PIECES REALLY cheap way to extend the game and make you explore everything. Whereas Twilight Princess doesn't have any headache parts, for me. It's actually fun ALL THE WAY through. If nothing else, that's what makes it better for me. Wind Waker was interesting, theoretically. Story-wise. Some of the new things in Wind Waker was groundwork for the good things in Twilight Princess. I liked learning different techniques based on the "parrying" movements from Wind Waker. I don't want them to make the same thing as Twilight Princess. Well, they will, but to follow up on that particular Link's next adventure. I'm talking about their new duet of games, they shouldn't just go back on the style in Twilight Princess (they wouldn't copy it directly, anyway). That's how these games continue to be fun, they keep reinventing it. And I'd think we only got a Twilight Princess because of the way kids like—well, kids—received the art style in Wind Waker. Twilight P' was a direct contrast to that to please the other dudes. To contast THAT, I'd like to see a return of the magic bar. For example. Before anyone says it, yeah. I admit I'm a Zelda fanboy. Makes me wonder how I ended up at a MegaMan site. Anyway I don't care if they go back to a cartoony Zelda. I just don't want the oceans, but I'm not particularly worried they'll go back to that. If they even made a game supposedly referencing Wind Waker in its PAST, I'm sure most of the ocean water would have cleared up, I could deal with a much smaller number of much larger islands. And Twilight Princess wasn't nearly as dark as people would like to think. EDIT: They gave the ReDeads a freaking sword! Just to make them less scary. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: ASR on 24 March 2009, 03:56:10 I'll admit the oceans were sometimes annoying but if you take those out, then you're missing a huge element of the crazily unique and engulfing atmosphere they created for that game.
Twilight Princess was constantly boring me and I haven't touched it since the second I beat it. I hated the wolf parts, too. I personally think that Twilight Princess is the worst out of all the 3D Zeldas (Ocarina, Majora, and Wind Waker being the other three... not things like Phantom Hourglass.) But yeah, I know, opinions are opinions. It's just that mine are generally better. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Vinchenz Rock on 24 March 2009, 04:04:16 ^And are right.
(in the case of Zelda) Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Majikn on 24 March 2009, 04:55:58 Well again, I don't think The Wind Waker was bad. It made up for the annoying parts I suppose. But Twilight Princess didn't have as much (if anything—feel free to argue that because I can't think of anything at the moment) to make up for. You didn't even have to play any of those dumb songs and then go into the stupid sequence every single time. You just had seven... SEVEN howling parts. Only seven. THANK YE GODS. And when you wanted to control a statue, you didn't whip out your ocarina, you just batted a glowing ball at it!
I forgot the "Song of Command" thing, too. Oh my #####. I can't say it enough. I enjoyed the game. But there was too much of this crap. I'm not in a game to exhaust my patience, I'm really in it to play the thing. I can't enjoy it when that's in the way. On the plus side, the negativity comes from all that crap being near the end of the game. It leaves you with a bitter taste. But I'm not outright ignoring the rest of the game. I love the game for its style and its music. I preferred when the music was more prominent in dungeons like it was in Ocarina of Time, but this game has some great tracks. I didn't enjoy it so much for how the gameplay was made to integrate with the story. I appreciate a good story as much as anyone, but if I'm playing a game, I'd prefer if the gameplay took the priority in quality. That means serious changes would need to be made. By the way, one or two of the bosses are a bit challenging when you have only three hearts and no bottles, in case you wanted to try it. I haven't tried this with Twilight Princess yet. I'm not dignifying the opinion bit; if you choose not to argue further you may by all means do so, but if you feel like educating me why your opinion is better I'd much rather you do that than just say that it's better. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Vinchenz Rock on 24 March 2009, 05:19:30 Hey, I thought the end where you went to Ganon's Tower was great, especially the fight with Ganondorf. And I actually enjoyed the sailing parts, more so than the parts with the wolf. The Triforce finding was the only real annoyance. That, and how easy the game was.
If anything, Twilight Princess felt bitter towards the end; it was dungeon after dungeon after dungeon after dungeon, with little exploration and character interaction. And all of it was easier than Wind Waker too! And when I found out that the final dungeon was Hyrule Castle, again, I just simply sighed. Twilight Princess tried too hard, IMO, and it just started to get stale. Don't get me wrong, I still liked the game and it was a refreshing experience, but I haven't touched it once since the second I beat it, and the only time I'm going to play it again is the Wii version, for the Zeldafest I'm participating in right now. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Majikn on 24 March 2009, 05:52:56 Is the final dungeon usually Hyrule Castle? Even in Ocarina of Time, it was Ganon's Tower, wasn't it? I mean in this particular instance I expected it to be Hyrule Castle, but I don't recall if I played any of the other Zeldas where that's actually the final dungeon.
I find that both would be improved if both had the good elements of the other game. I just like one more than the other because one had less to improve. Hehehe I couldn't possibly enjoy the sailing parts more than I enjoyed being a wolf, because being wolf was actually enjoyable for me. I was human whenever I could help it but it's not like it bothered me, whereas I didn't enjoy sailing period. Wind Waker seemed to me like it was dungeon after dungeon after dungeon too, anyway. Bear in mind I've played them back to back, TP first, and I was trying to fly through both... no, I don't see much of a difference there. Both had their own between-dungeon parts, and then WW had more off-dungeon stuff because they overkilled it with all the piece-hunting, if I recall correctly. And I didn't really care much about any of the characters in The Wind Waker except the few important ones. Namely Ganon's change of character. I wouldn't really talk about the difficulty level, because I don't think 3D Zelda's ever been difficult and difficulty is not what I expect from a Zelda game. It WOULD be pleasantly welcomed (at least an option to increase the difficulty—I think I'd eat that up) but I don't see it as necessary because I just do the "three heart challenge" afterwards. Man, I did that with Minish Cap. If I recall, that was pretty tough. But the non-3Ds/handhelds usually are. I'd like to try that with a tougher game like A Link to the Past or Link's Awakening, but it'd take me a bit of practice to get as good as I was, and then some because I wouldn't be able to do it even then. EDIT: So I checked, and there's one other game where Hyrule Castle is the final dungeon, and I'll hide it for those who would prefer: [spoiler]The Minish Cap.[/spoiler] I skipped the CDi and remakes and that weird satellite-Zelda-thing because in two cases I don't care and in the other cases I don't really think they count. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Vinchenz Rock on 24 March 2009, 06:21:42 There was Ganon's Tower that was where Hyrule once stood and Ganon's Pyramid where the location is the same in the Light world, but yeah, I didn't enjoy Hyrule Castle as the last dungeon.
Also, you can't do the 3-Heart challenge in ALttP. It's impossible because the dungeons don't end until you pick up the heart after you defeat the boss. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Majikn on 24 March 2009, 06:26:07 Oh, haha, I didn't even realize because I haven't tried it yet.
Well, it can still be hacked. Ganon's pyramid can't really count as a dungeon, I think. His tower was up on the mountain and then you chase him over to the pyramid. And then his tower in Ocarina of Time was so not even a castle, so I can't agree that it was anything like the final dungeon in Twilight Princess. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Slugkid on 24 March 2009, 13:39:54 My opinion doesn't count much, I only played Ocarina of time(100%'d) a bit of Majora's Mask, and a bit of Twilight princess, plus some not 3d games
But on Twilight princess I so totally hate being a wolf. Ok, they have to add something new to each game, and all, but...being a wolf? I just don't like it. On Zelda games I try out all there is to be tried out, even if there's nothing to be tried out. Like "Hey, can I get to that tree branch over there?""No-You can't jump long enough" Then I try jumping twice, then rolling and jumping, then going to the village, picking up a cucco, going through the screen and watch it dissapear, going back to where I wanted to jump, and try other 5 times or so, including bombing myself to see if I can be moved by the explosion. But, I don't do that in wolf form, it's like all that was lost or something. I also don't like whistling grass. Ocarina playing was MUCH better. If you give me the game, I probably remember all the songs.(Not counting the Serenade of Water. I NEVER remember it.) Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Johncarllos on 24 March 2009, 13:54:29 Song of storms.
Such a fun song.... Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Slugkid on 24 March 2009, 14:09:18 I loved it, so much. Too bad it doesn't let you play it as a kid until you learn it as an adult.
Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: ASR on 24 March 2009, 14:55:51 I need to replay Ocarina of Time over the summer. It's been at least 7 years since I've touched it, and I have that Gamecube collector's version (never played it.)
Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Johncarllos on 24 March 2009, 18:06:14 End of the music game world.
http://www.djhero.com/ Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Mikero on 24 March 2009, 22:01:17 1. Super Mario Galaxy Brawl barely classifies as good, dude. But "de Blob" is actually really awesome and I can't wait to get back to it. If I had to say what Wii games I know are great; 1) Super Mario Galaxy. Yeah. 2) Legend Of Zelda: Twilight Princess. It's pretty different from GC in my opnion, and the Wii controls for it are a HNL (hole nutha level) so it's it's own thing and I loved it all. 3) de Blob. Seems weird, yes, and I'd never have tried it if it wasn't given to me but it is really #####ing fun. 4) Spider-Man Web Of Shadows. I love it, gotta finish it sometime. Might buy it, even. 5) Marvel Ultimate Alliance. With the right friends, hella addictive even it gets frustrating at parts and it's real fun. Can't wait to try the sequel. 6) MM9. That counts I think. And then I guess Brawl and that's it, but I've really only played a few Wii games other than those at any length and they are Super Paper Mario, GH3, and RE4 so ech. I've tried a couple others I think, but I can't remember what. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Fatso on 24 March 2009, 22:03:25 Oh, and the Wii has World of Goo, which is ten redeeming features to itself
Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Johncarllos on 25 March 2009, 03:07:51 It's easy to name a lot more fun games for the 360.
Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: ASR on 25 March 2009, 03:16:10 I just counted the 360 games I own and realized how much I've stopped playing video games in recent years.
In order of purchase: - Dead Rising - Guitar Hero 3 - Rock Band - The Orange Box - Rock Band 2 - Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts That's it. And here's for Wii, even crazier (in random order): - Wii Sports - Wii Play - Metroid Prime 3 - Wario Ware Smooth Moves - No More Heroes - Super Mario Galaxy - Super Smash Bros. Brawl Although, in the case of the Wii, there's a ton of games I've bought used and sold back, including stuff like Rayman Raving Rabbids (actually a gift), Resident Evil 4, that Donkey Kong racing game. And I have a TON of Gamecube games. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Johncarllos on 25 March 2009, 03:38:05 I don't have jack.
I think I'm actually getting tired of videogames in general. Evolving more to computer games. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: ASR on 25 March 2009, 03:42:07 For me it's more surprising because I used to be extremely spoiled and had an obscene amount of games for SNES, N64, GBA, DS, and Gamecube back in the days.
You COULD attribute this drought to me suddenly having to pay for everything myself AND switching to the more expensive hobby of collecting DVD's, but really, I'm just not a gamer anymore. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: ChaosVortex on 25 March 2009, 03:45:54 Let me just twist this around a little into something I'd say...
I still have quite a bit, but nothing all too recent. There ya go. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Vinchenz Rock on 25 March 2009, 05:19:24 Eh, I'm not much of a console gamer anymore. But I love dem DS and PSP games.
Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: ASR on 25 March 2009, 22:21:07 SPEAKING OF ZELDA (was that this topic?):

New game looks good. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Captain Sanoguchi on 25 March 2009, 22:53:43 ...Why is there a train?
I'm going to assume that that isn't a direct sequel to Phantom Hourglass. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: ChaosVortex on 25 March 2009, 23:23:50 Good enough for me.
Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Captain Sanoguchi on 25 March 2009, 23:26:26 Miyamoto's gone off the rail on a crazy train this time.
Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: ChaosVortex on 25 March 2009, 23:33:39 Good enough for me.
Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Chron on 26 March 2009, 00:20:36 I liked Wind Waker, but I never have felt compelled to play Phantom Hourglass.
I feel the same about this one. It's not the graphics; I like those... it's just something about portable Zelda games has always irked me. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Speed Racer on 26 March 2009, 01:52:32 I'll be getting Chronicles of Riddick: Assault on Dark Athena and Godfather II. I'm looking at getting Ninja Blade, but I'm not sure if I'll get it yet.
Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Vinchenz Rock on 26 March 2009, 04:30:06 ...Why is there a train? *Sigh* It's a steam train. A #####ing steam train. The boat in PH is a #####ing steam boat. Yes, it's a #####ing sequel. Also, everyone go download #####ing Wii System Menu 4.0. It's #####ing worth it. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: preventerWIND on 26 March 2009, 04:33:36 Looks like someone discovered how to curse. And not well I might add.
Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: ASR on 26 March 2009, 04:38:21 it's just something about portable Zelda games has always irked me. Ever played Link's Awakening? My favorite Zelda game. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Majikn on 26 March 2009, 04:58:41 No way in hell is it a sequel. Remember Wind Waker? Remember Phantom Hourglass?
Oceans. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Vinchenz Rock on 26 March 2009, 06:36:56 Looks like someone discovered how to curse. And not well I might add. #####ing you. No way in hell is it a sequel. Remember Wind Waker? Remember Phantom Hourglass? Eh, yeah, you're right. I was just being a butt to Sano. However, it's obvious that they've taken a lot of resources from PH. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: ASR on 26 March 2009, 07:01:29 No way in hell is it a sequel. Remember Wind Waker? Remember Phantom Hourglass? Oddly enough, I can't argue this. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Chron on 26 March 2009, 16:02:13 it's just something about portable Zelda games has always irked me. Yes. I hate it. Great music, though. The only one of them I like much is Minish Cap, which is odd because I seem to remember not many people like it. ... I guess I should mumble something about waiting for the Metroid Prime Wii remake to come out, but honestly I'm still not sure if I even want to buy that. I have like $50 of Best Buy gift cards, and there's nothing I want to buy when I walk through that place. Posted on: 26 March 2009, 12:25:23 Also, everyone go download #####ing Wii System Menu 4.0. It's #####ing worth it. Only since you now have more space for your VC games. You can not move the card to another Wii and play your games from there. I paid for the things, and I should be able to play them wherever I want to, so until they fix that it's merely a space-saving device. Oh, and don't even think about trying to mess with the files; if you read they suggest that they just delete anything you've tampered with. I know what they've done; they've put some big horrible checksums around various bits of data and then entire thing just to make it nigh impossible to pirate (which I respect, but if they've gone to this trouble then IT SHOULD BE SAFE TO PLAY THEM ON OTHER WIIS). I now hate Nintendo so much I may never buy another of their games again. I realize that I'm not making a statement to them, and that I'm just one person. It's not my intention to make a statement. I'm just tired of being bamboozled out of my money time and time again. That stops now. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: ASR on 26 March 2009, 16:33:25 ...Minish Cap was awful from the hour or so I played.
...how could... how could you hate Link's Awakening?! Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Vinchenz Rock on 26 March 2009, 16:58:19 You can not move the card to another Wii and play your games from there. People can bring their VC games to my Wii and I can play them. Well, maybe not anymore but that should be fixed soon. I also have EarthBound as a VC game, lawlz. Although, I agree. You should be able to play them on other Wiis- just make it so that you can't copy them. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: preventerWIND on 26 March 2009, 17:39:46 Looks like someone discovered how to curse. And not well I might add. Uhm. Ew. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: NovaMan XP on 26 March 2009, 21:25:10 Looks like someone discovered how to curse. And not well I might add. You like it! Also, everyone go download #####ing Wii System Menu 4.0. It's #####ing worth it. What about it is worth it? I'm out of touch on Wii stuff now. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Fatso on 26 March 2009, 21:27:48 Seems it lets you play VC/WiiWare games from your SD card, at least that's what I could glean from context.
Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: NovaMan XP on 26 March 2009, 21:30:58 That's great. Since I'm sure 80-90% of my Wii space is wasted on Virtual Console games. Too bad even with all that freed up space there still isn't alot...
Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Chron on 26 March 2009, 23:35:55 Yes, but you can even moved saved data on to a card.
And even a measly 2GB card has a whole arseload of blocks. ...Minish Cap was awful from the hour or so I played. Because I'm not you? I dunno. Sufficiently explain why I don't like it and why you do, and you'll win a Nobel Prize. No joke. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Johncarllos on 26 March 2009, 23:40:23 I have like 7000 blocks of Guitar Hero DLC on my SD card.
Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Chron on 26 March 2009, 23:42:21 ... why?
No. Never mind. Don't answer that. I don't care. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Johncarllos on 26 March 2009, 23:44:50 90% of it was free.
That's why. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: ASR on 27 March 2009, 00:10:36 ...Minish Cap was awful from the hour or so I played. Sorry, but I'm right and you're wrong. Simple as that. But it's okay, we can still be friends. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Xero on 27 March 2009, 00:55:16 Trains? In my Zelda?
WHAT THE #####? Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Mikero on 27 March 2009, 01:56:12 Trains are the #####, what's your problem? Don't get mad at trains because they're cooler than you!
I liked Wind Waker, but I never have felt compelled to play Phantom Hourglass. Same here. I feel the same about this one. Not the same here. It's not the graphics; I like those... it's just something about portable Zelda games has always irked me. Really not the same here. I love portable Zelda games, but Minish Cap really turned me off for a while so I never bothered with Phantom Hourglass. Link's Awakening is one of my absolutamenté favourites though, so yeah that's kinda odd. Especially since at first glance, LA and MC have a kind of similar feel, with the whole "not so much Hyrule" kind of deal. But then, Majora's Mask had that and it's the 2nd worst Zelda game I've ever played. But I own and did finish Minish Cap anyway. I don't like it, but it's not that bad. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Chron on 27 March 2009, 02:12:44 Curious. I also dislike Majora's Mask.
There's also a possibility that I could simply be forcing myself not to want to play these games because I simply lack the money to buy anything. No idea though, and that has nothing to do with my dislike for the old Capcom Zelda games. ...Minish Cap was awful from the hour or so I played. No prize today, what a shame. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Vinchenz Rock on 27 March 2009, 03:13:48 My favourite portable Zelda games are the Oracle games, first Ages and Seasons second. Link's Awakening comes third, but I may have liked it first if I had more nostalgic feelings towards it, since I played it AFTER the Oracle games.
I never liked Minish Cap all too much either. Not sure why, it's not a bad Zelda game but it's not good either, I guess. Didn't have all that much fun playing through it. Also, i lovs majoras mask u guies suck stfu Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: ASR on 27 March 2009, 03:23:59 I think I talked about Minish Cap earlier:
Basically, it's just incredibly mediocre. It's got all the Zelda elements, but nothing stands out, and nothing's really bad. It's like a straight line, with no pros and no cons. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Mikero on 27 March 2009, 04:07:27 There's one con for me, the game often leaves you in the dark about what to actually go and do, so I spent some time wandering trying random #####. And Zelda games can get complicated with their puzzles, so if you don't even know where you're supposed to be headed that'll ##### you up because you keep trying to solve puzzles that aren't there (yet).
Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Vinchenz Rock on 27 March 2009, 04:10:28 I think I talked about Minish Cap earlier: All you said that you played it for an hour, but yeah. I think that's what made me not like the game all that much. There's one con for me, the game often leaves you in the dark about what to actually go and do, so I spent some time wandering trying random #####. And Zelda games can get complicated with their puzzles, so if you don't even know where you're supposed to be headed that'll ##### you up because you keep trying to solve puzzles that aren't there (yet). This too. I ran around in that swamp for two hours before I finally found that dungeon. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: ASR on 27 March 2009, 04:33:43 I think I talked about Minish Cap earlier: I played it for more than an hour, but I never beat it. I borrowed it from a friend and got bored not too far into the game. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Chron on 27 March 2009, 13:38:13 Strangely, I managed to beat the whole thing without much difficulty and find most of the secret bits, too. Missing some heart pieces but I've never cared to collect them all.
Most people don't like Minish Cap, though, but sometimes I have inverted mainstream tastes. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Abominator on 3 April 2009, 18:07:52 Witness a ripoff:
http://uk.wii.ign.com/articles/969/969244p1.html Looks alright though! Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: ASR on 3 April 2009, 18:17:24 Yeah, I watched the video and it looks fun. Don't know what to expect for sure, but I'm interested.
Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Johncarllos on 3 April 2009, 18:31:32 Looks okay....
Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Majikn on 3 April 2009, 18:36:19 Please be bringing it on!
Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Chron on 3 April 2009, 22:16:12 His main attack is explosions.
Generated from his body. ... why the hell is there a life bar? Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: NovaMan XP on 3 April 2009, 23:12:21 I think its kinda weird that he explodes... (I WANT A MEGA BUSTER)
But it looks fun, although if the Wii version looks like crap, I'll be wanting a 360 port... >_> Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Mikero on 7 April 2009, 22:43:03 It looks like the fun version of a SSB Brawl stage.
Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Captain Sanoguchi on 18 April 2009, 08:56:38 So...
Anyone else think Wario Ware Myself looks like the best thing ever? Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: ASR on 18 April 2009, 09:13:30 Link me. I love WarioWare.
Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Vinchenz Rock on 18 April 2009, 10:06:54 Y'know, ASR? I think you'd like Rhythm Heaven for the DS. Made by the same guys who made WW, but the game is centered around rhythm and music for its insanity.
Also, I think WarioWare Myself is a WW game where you can create and share your own micro-games... which sounds like your type of game, ASR. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Captain Sanoguchi on 18 April 2009, 17:48:54 Link me. I love WarioWare. Uh... Some videos. From what I gather you can make your own micro-games in this one. http://www.screwattack.com/trailers/041709/wariowaremyself (http://www.screwattack.com/trailers/041709/wariowaremyself) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mTcTEwkZUXE (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mTcTEwkZUXE) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eSbdtstmqcA (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eSbdtstmqcA) Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: ASR on 18 April 2009, 18:36:17 Looks... interesting.
Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Slugkid on 18 April 2009, 21:02:00 They are also going to release WarioWare: Snapped(Or Snap it, I don't remember) for DSiware, it involves taking photos and all.
Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: ASR on 18 April 2009, 21:12:45 Goddamn DSiWare.
I don't want a DSi. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Vinchenz Rock on 18 April 2009, 21:26:36 It's already out and it's not all that great.
Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: NovaMan XP on 18 April 2009, 21:36:08 Apparently DSiWare is crap at the moment. Nintendo probably wants to wait until they make a lot of money from the DSi being a new console before making alot of money because of a title being released on it exclusively.
I want a DSi, but I really don't want to spend $170 on the damn thing. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Vinchenz Rock on 19 April 2009, 00:06:04 The DSi first week sales have outsold the DS Lite's first week sales, so Nintendo is already racking in the cash.
The only game I downloaded for it so far is Aquios which isn't a bad puzzle game. Kind-of addicting, but I'm done with it now. I think it would be extremely awesome if Capcom ported MegaMan 9 to the DSi. I'd definitely re-buy it just to be able to play it on the go. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: NovaMan XP on 19 April 2009, 00:34:54 I think there would be screen size issues... but I would buy it for the portability also, despite probably getting bored of it after a week or month.
Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: ChaosVortex on 19 April 2009, 04:23:08 No...
Mega Man 9... POWERED UP!! ... Aw, who am I kidding. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Abominator on 22 April 2009, 00:25:41 Here (http://uk.wii.ign.com/dor/objects/14333979/icarian-kindred-spirits/videos/Icarian-trailer-HD.html;jsessionid=4m1dd9r9v4l5p)'s another awesome looking wiiware game.
Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Chron on 22 April 2009, 00:38:36 It's nice looking, but I walked in hoping against all logic that it might be Grandia-related and got depressed pretty quick.
It is a nice looking platformer... reminds me a bit of Kid Icarus, but I'm not sure if that's a good thing. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Mikero on 22 April 2009, 00:39:30 It looks OK I guess. Not really interesting but not badly made.
Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Fatso on 27 April 2009, 01:57:10 Achron: real-time strategy with time travel. (http://www.rockpapershotgun.com/2009/03/27/epochal-achron-meta-time-strategy/)
I'm sold on the idea, I just wonder how many machines will be able to run it when it sees release. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Majikn on 27 April 2009, 02:49:28 Ahahaha, chronoporter.
Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Chron on 27 April 2009, 23:49:06 As neat as that is, I'm not fond of the name.
... or strategy games. I hate them. It's still a cool idea. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Snare on 8 May 2009, 15:25:08 Well, they're at it again.
Two new pokemon games were announced today. They're remakes of Gold and Silver, titled Heart Gold and Soul Silver. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: ChaosVortex on 8 May 2009, 15:31:36 (http://www.pokemondiamondpearl.info/dp/fake_goldsilverds5yrhi07.jpg)
Would this be it? Or another one of those fake ones that roam EVERYWHERE on the net? Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Snare on 8 May 2009, 16:00:40 No. WUT U THNK IM STUPEH??? :@
http://www.pokemon.co.jp/info/game/g090508_01.html This would be it. SEE ITS THE OFFICIAL SITE Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: NovaMan XP on 8 May 2009, 16:12:48 ##### YES
HOLY #####ING YES Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: ChaosVortex on 8 May 2009, 16:33:07 No. WUT U THNK IM STUPEH??? :@ No, it's just I've heard of it's existence for what seems like AGES and now that you announce it, I can't find any official box arts. I just want confirmation. This warms my heart though. EDIT: I'll assume the box arts above are fake, since they seem to be missing the emblems on the side of the logos. Plus the art itself is stupid. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Snare on 8 May 2009, 16:53:44 No. WUT U THNK IM STUPEH??? :@No Yes...You do...Please! Don't say anymore! My fragile heart can't take this at the moment! Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: NovaMan XP on 8 May 2009, 17:03:26 Then get some Heart Gold and reinforce your heart.
Posted on: May 08, 2009, 12:00:32 PM EDIT: I'll assume the box arts above are fake, since they seem to be missing the emblems on the side of the logos. Plus the art itself is stupid. Yeah, those are years old now. I think those were made a bit after Diamond and Pearl were released. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: preventerWIND on 8 May 2009, 18:12:07 I JUST SHAT MYSELF YES PLEEEEEEASE!!!!
I don't know which to choose. Gold or Silver.. I got Gold for the GBC, but wanted Silver back then, now I think Gold is awesome.. Yeah, might get Gold. Yep, Gold. That ##### is so cash. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Johncarllos on 8 May 2009, 18:46:26 gold>silver
Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: NovaMan XP on 8 May 2009, 19:44:51 Silver was what I picked, but I ended up getting Gold anyway later.
And you can't say that one version is really better than the other, unless you really want to compare minor things... <_< Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Vinchenz Rock on 8 May 2009, 19:54:20 silver>gold
my truth is word Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Slugkid on 8 May 2009, 20:00:24 Ho-oh>Lugia, but I still want silver. I just prefer the name.
I'm assuming they are not making SOMETHINGcrystal, since they didn't do thunderyellow or whatever. Anyway, I always wanted a remake of this, and always thought it was the best trio of games. Good. I also thought they'd make another one for the DS, it's two set of games a handheld, plus spin-offs. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: preventerWIND on 8 May 2009, 20:16:37 Lugia>Ho-oh
But in Gold you get Lugia at the end at level 70. ##### yeahr. silver>gold FIX'D Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: ChaosVortex on 8 May 2009, 20:25:57 That's a shame. I would've considered buying a Thunder Yellow.
But Crystal is ew. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: preventerWIND on 8 May 2009, 20:26:49 Yellow would suck as a remake.
Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: NovaMan XP on 8 May 2009, 20:32:10 Yellow is fun, but isn't worth it after Red/Blue. Crystal is okay, it added the female trainer, added Pokémon animations (WHICH RUBY/SAPPHIRE DIDN'T HAVE FOR SOME REASON) and I think it had the Battle Tower, but other than that, it was also not really very worth it.
I won't even say anything about Emerald, I hated Ruby/Sapphire in general. Platinum was actually pretty good, and actually is worth it if you really wanted it. ... But yeah, Yellow remake would've blown. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: preventerWIND on 8 May 2009, 20:36:40 R/S was awesome, it kept things a lot fresher compared to Diamond and Pearl.
Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: NovaMan XP on 8 May 2009, 20:39:09 It took away Day/Night.
It started the "exclusive to one version" Legendaries bull#####. More then 95% of the Pokémon looked like garbage. (But so do alot of D/P's too) I'll admit, I liked it when it came out, and I did play it alot... but after playing D/P and replaying G/S and playing Fire Red, it just isn't good. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Slugkid on 8 May 2009, 20:41:42 You know what would be cool? If they released Thunderyellow after Soul Silver and Heart gold, and when/if they release a remake of ruby and saphire, they also release, uh, Mind Crystal. But I doubt they are remaking Ruby or Crystal.
Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: ChaosVortex on 8 May 2009, 20:45:55 Yellow would suck as a remake. I adored Yellow. It had a charm I really liked. Yeah, it's no Red or Blue, but it was flippin' Yellow man! And Crystal just turned me off in so many ways. Yeah, they added in some cool stuff and you could finally choose your gender, but I absolutely hated the Pokemon animations. Some of them looked like they were having a seizure. It just wasn't very appealing. I'll keep my Silver and Gold, thanks. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: preventerWIND on 8 May 2009, 20:51:39 Yellow would suck as a remake.I adored Yellow. It had a charm I really liked. Yeah, it's no Red or Blue, but it was flippin' Yellow man! That's fine. But it doesn't qualify for a remake; it being based on the TV show. And don't say flippin', I hate that. #####ty substitute for the REAL F-word. SAY #####. KEEP IT REAL. It took away Day/Night. True, Day and Night was awesome. The exclusive pokemans were annoying in Diamond and Pearl. For R/S it suited it. A lot of them were pretty awesome though, Duskull, Shroomish, Sableye, and FUTHER MUCKING METAGROSS. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: NovaMan XP on 8 May 2009, 21:06:42 That's another thing I hated about the games after 2nd gen, they started force-feeding the new Pokémon for the first 2 areas of the game, and the only "retro" Pokémon were the ones in the first cave you go to... with our lovely ZUBAT AND GEODUDE! AWRIGHT!
But D/P wasn't TOO bad with that one... okay it was. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: preventerWIND on 8 May 2009, 21:08:46 Dude, Zubat is the #####. I ALWAYS have a Crobat on my team.
Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: NovaMan XP on 8 May 2009, 21:10:02 But Geodude sucks. I love him but he sucks. And he's everywhere, also Graveler. ##### him.
Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: ChaosVortex on 8 May 2009, 21:16:07 I've never used Geodudes ever unless I was playing the PokéMon TCG.
There was some cool move with cards like Golem and Magnemite, where you could attach some trainer card, Self-Destruct, and still be alive. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: NovaMan XP on 8 May 2009, 21:22:57 Yeah, Defense Plus or whatever it was called. Then they started making Self-Destruct do way more than your HP...
Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Snare on 10 May 2009, 00:38:38 This image is five minutes old.
(http://hushi.x0.com/cap/Cap20090510-082433.jpg) It was revealed on a Pokemon variety show they have in Japan. Your starter will now follow you around a la Pokemon Yellow. Now, hopefully it won't just be your starter but rather, whoever is in your the party slot. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: ASR on 10 May 2009, 00:45:58 COOL BEANS
Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: preventerWIND on 10 May 2009, 01:03:41 ICE COLD BEANS!
CYNDAQUIL! <3 Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: NovaMan XP on 10 May 2009, 01:39:18 3D Johto... Yesss.
And we'll also get 3D Kanto also. Not a big fan of the Pokémon following you thing, but it's okay I guess. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: ChaosVortex on 10 May 2009, 01:55:06 Snare.
You're fighting against me Snare. I don't want to play Pokemon again Snare... and you're making me want this game... SNARE!! Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: NovaMan XP on 10 May 2009, 01:57:35 If it wasn't Snare it would've been me.
And you DO want it. You can't resist the temptation. Oh, and I have to ask: why the hell there's a staircase next to Elm's Lab now? >_> Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Snare on 10 May 2009, 02:08:03 It brings you to Bill's secret garden to catch a pikablu.
Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: preventerWIND on 10 May 2009, 07:01:13 It brings you to Bill's secret garden to catch a pikablu. lol'd who knows, they add a whole bunch of weird ##### to new games. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: fawfulmk-II on 10 May 2009, 14:59:59 damn....In betwen this, Mario &Luigi 3, Spirit Tracks, and Made in me, I have a hell of a choice for what DS game to get....
Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: preventerWIND on 10 May 2009, 19:22:21 The games you named all sound balls. Get Pokemans GS DS.
Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: saldite on 10 May 2009, 19:58:16 New Gold and Silver...
Nice...Nice... I'll probably end up nabbing Silver when it hits North America... Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Snare on 10 May 2009, 22:10:11 damn....In betwen this, Mario &Luigi 3, Spirit Tracks, and Made in me, I have a hell of a choice for what DS game to get.... Is Made-in-Me that new Wario Ware game? I'm so in love with that concept. At least I'm happy with the DS line up. If Endless Ocean 2 (LOLOL) is the only thing I have to look forward (I'm a big marine biology nutcase :@) for the Wii, I may give it to some orphans. Or trade my it FOR some orphans. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Johncarllos on 10 May 2009, 22:16:17 Ditch the Wii for a 360.
I have no regrets. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: ChaosVortex on 10 May 2009, 22:28:17 damn....In betwen this, Mario &Luigi 3, Spirit Tracks, and Made in me, I have a hell of a choice for what DS game to get.... M&L3 sounds like either a rental or what I did to the prevous 2: Buy them then sell them when finished. Spirit Tracks I might get, and WarioWare is a maybe, but I'm wantin' the PokeMon GS DS. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Mikero on 10 May 2009, 23:04:44 EDIT: I'll assume the box arts above are fake, since they seem to be missing the emblems on the side of the logos. Plus the art itself is stupid. ... The filename also says "fake" in it. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Snare on 10 May 2009, 23:37:20 And YOUR name says "ero"
Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: NovaMan XP on 11 May 2009, 01:33:45 And YOUR name says "a".

You see when I do something. It's CUTE. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: NovaMan XP on 11 May 2009, 02:31:23 You see when I do something. It's AWESOME
Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Mikero on 11 May 2009, 08:09:38 Yeah well at least my signature isn't still filled with only ASRs like some kind of funhouse mirror show. Some of them aren't even full people and that's really G-D-creepy.
Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Snare on 11 May 2009, 21:08:05 It's normal again so you look like a FOOL.
Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: ASR on 11 May 2009, 21:48:48 But now I'm sad!
Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: ChaosVortex on 11 May 2009, 21:52:20 World continues to spin.
Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: ASR on 11 May 2009, 21:53:38 Albeit a little sadder.
Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Mikero on 11 May 2009, 21:58:22 Yeah LITTLE is a pretty operative word there, huh?
Coincidentally I'm watching Little People Big World right now and waiting for the part where cousin Alec comes by. It's normal again so you look like a FOOL. You're D right it's normal again. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Snare on 12 May 2009, 22:38:55 HEY GUYS :@
Scans are coming in from a Japanese magazine regarding the new pokemon games. Male Character (http://pokebeach.com/news/0509/corocoro-2.jpg) Female Character (http://pokebeach.com/news/0509/corocoro-1.jpg) The rest are all here. (http://pokebeach.com/) Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: preventerWIND on 12 May 2009, 22:43:52 Goddamnit, the Poketch is coming back? ##### that I want the POKEE-GEER!
The girl looks weird, what happened to the Crystal girl? The guy doesn't look changed so that's cool.. Needs moar rival pix Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Snare on 12 May 2009, 22:45:29 Isn't that the pokegear?
Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: preventerWIND on 12 May 2009, 22:47:21 The Pokegear looks like a cellphone/sports watch.
That looks like some big fat PDA watch DS or some such bull#####. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Snare on 12 May 2009, 22:49:17 Oh.
Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: preventerWIND on 12 May 2009, 22:49:46 U.
Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Mikero on 12 May 2009, 23:23:17 I like the girl's design. Her hat has a big bow on it.
Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: preventerWIND on 12 May 2009, 23:41:18 My friend loves her hat too. They're both really decent designs, best I've seen so far.
Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Snare on 12 May 2009, 23:42:24 I'm naming her Gertrude-Agnes and the boy's name will be Skunch.
Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: ASR on 12 May 2009, 23:52:56 I miss Ash and Gary...
Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: preventerWIND on 13 May 2009, 00:07:44 WHAT'S THAT YA MISS ASS GRAVY? I preferred to name them Red and Blue, same goes for Gold and Silver. Ever since Ruby and Sapphire came along, naming them got weird.
I've ALWAYS loved Gold and Silver. It was the cream of the crop. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: ASR on 13 May 2009, 00:29:56 I like Red and Blue SOOOOO much more than Gold and Silver, but those are still awesome.
Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Xero on 13 May 2009, 00:34:52 You'll be fighting them again.
Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: ChaosVortex on 13 May 2009, 02:53:00 I always preferred Gold and Silver over Red and Blue personally.
Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Chron on 13 May 2009, 03:29:56 I love Red and Blue, and the old bastard in me would say it's better just to be contradictory...
... but hell, Gold and Silver have #####ing sentrets, and that just nullifies any arguments I could come up with. As if I could. G&S is the best set of games in the series; I only hope they don't ruin the remake by including any crap Pokemon that should not be in the game... or "dress up contests" or whatever the hell they are. It was the game that got everything right and never needed anything more. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: ChaosVortex on 13 May 2009, 03:36:54 Pretty much sums up my feelings about the game.
You got both Johto and Kanto in a game where you only expected one. I love it when games do that, it's very welcoming. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: preventerWIND on 13 May 2009, 04:22:30 They're probably gonna bring back the stupid dress up contests. Which sucks, but whatever, I'll just look past that and into the game I love.
Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Vinchenz Rock on 13 May 2009, 07:02:53 It's not like the contests are a mandatory thing to do.
And obviously the National Pokedex will include Pokemon from all generations. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: preventerWIND on 13 May 2009, 13:23:23 Yeah, but it's not like paying attention to the new pokemon is a mandatory thing to do. Hopefully.
MAAAAAN I'm gonna get a CyndaquilandaZubatandaMareepa ndandand-I WANT THIS GAAAME. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: NovaMan XP on 13 May 2009, 17:24:34 What the hell?
I like the girl character, but I thought they already had one made in Crystal Version... Oh well, I'm playing as the guy anyway, he's got the best design out of all the heroes after Red. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: ChaosVortex on 13 May 2009, 18:02:01 Same, but I'm mainly choosing the male character due to the fact I'm not from RPM. :x
Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Xero on 13 May 2009, 18:49:15 I always choose the male character as well.
Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Snare on 13 May 2009, 19:38:51 I'm usually the girl character on
Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Mikero on 13 May 2009, 22:17:31 I like Red and Blue SOOOOO much more than Gold and Silver, but those are still awesome. Agggggreeeeed. Gold and Silver might be more refined, gaming-wise, but there's no Pokémon feeling like that first playthrough of Red and Blue. Such discovery. If I'm talking which I like more it's definitely Red over all other Pokémon games, regardless of technical advancements and such since it's just based on sheer feeling. Besides, no starter Pokémon set has ever been better than Squirtle, Bulbasaur, and Charmander. That's a #####ing holy trinity. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: preventerWIND on 13 May 2009, 22:26:24 True on that, Mike. I loved playing through Red my first time and asking myself "Why do all the pokemon look retarded?". I never knew they made the games first. Ahh nostalgia..
But Gold and Silver were awesome, I was the first kid to know about it after reading it in a magazine. For me, it was like playing MegaMan 9, I never thought there would be a sequel, and they happened to be Gold and Silver, totally appropriate! Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Mikero on 13 May 2009, 22:33:32 I credit Gold and Silver as the last great Pokémon games. After 250 it got ridiculous with all the additions. One of my friends still plays them all (which sounds lame since he's a year older than me, but he's actually one of the coolest guys I know and a big partier so it makes me laugh) and he was giving me gripe 'cause I said my party from Silver could take anything he's got now (I'm sure they could).
But I might even get the Silver remake. There's something about it, you know. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: preventerWIND on 13 May 2009, 22:37:46 I know the attraction, that's why I wanted to get it instead of Silver way back when. But I got Gold, was a bit ticked, but now Gold is awesome.
LEVEL 70 LUGIA ##### Y'ALL Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: ASR on 13 May 2009, 22:58:09 Yeah, Gold and Silver's starters STILL piss me off to this day. I think they're all awful. Like, I really dislike all three of them. That actually really dampens Gold and Silver for me. But oh man, I was as excited for G/S as the next kid. I actually still have this giant poster my parents framed that I drew when I was excited for it. I'll take a picture sometime. It's got a giant Ho-Oh and Lugia on it with a bunch of other "new" Pokemon.
I was playing Platinum for a while earlier but got bored of it in less than a week. Maybe I'll pick it up again. But yeah, Red is the best. I'm with Mike. Sure, it's more sentimentality than anything, but that really was such a great game. In its heyday, when you KNEW all of your friends were ALSO playing it, and you could just link up and trade or battle... it's probably the most fun I've ever had playing a videogame. Nothing will ever beat that for me. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: preventerWIND on 13 May 2009, 23:08:00 I remember how EVERYONE had Red, and people who had Blue were made fun of, until we all asked them to trade with us and stuff.. haha.
But I loved the starters for G/S, excluding Chikorita. Totodile was awesome, and Cyndaquil was the next best fire starter next to Charmander. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: ASR on 13 May 2009, 23:18:04 Chimchar is WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY better than Cyndaquil. Cyndaquil is the epitome of awful. Totodile was ugly and annoying. Chikorita was the best of the G/S batch, and even THAT was terrible.
Anyway, for better or for worse, here's the poster I drew: Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: preventerWIND on 13 May 2009, 23:25:45 Dude, what? No. Chikorita was just bleh, had no attraction, Totodile was a crocodile, PERFECT starter! And Chimchar and all of the newer pokemans suck compared to the G/S ones.
Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Mikero on 13 May 2009, 23:46:55 I always pick water. And I don't mind Totodile at all, I hate his middle one, but Feraligatr or whatever kind of grew on me enough that I didn't hate him completely.
Level 70 Lugia? Please. Mine's at 100. My whole team is at 100. But that's not hard or special, everyone does that. Anyway around here, Red was the minority. But that made you cool, not an outcast. I had Red. When G/S came out, everyone and I had Silver. But people didn't like Gold, so having would have made you an outcast I guess. But I really don't think anyone made fun of you for it by that point. My favourite water type will always be Squirtle/Wartortle/Blastoise. Wartortle looks kind of weird with his wing head and stuff, but it grows on you and face it; Wartortle is BADASS name. My favourite fire type is Growlithe/Arcanine. That would have made an insane starter, if they'd added a middle evolution. I think I would have liked further Pokémon games more if they'd added less new monsters each time and instead of three new starters EVERY time they'd shuffle it with some older cool ones. How cool would it be to start with a Growlithe? So cool it's hot. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: ASR on 14 May 2009, 00:07:05 They should make, like, an alternate Red/Blue with completely different starters and a completely different storyline, but it's all the same Pokemon.
Like, it's just some other trainer's adventure at the same time. And he comes to the Elite Four directly after the first dude does and then claims the spot IMMEDIATELY after. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: preventerWIND on 14 May 2009, 00:07:45 Growlithe is always on my team in Red, along with my Venusaur and Poliwrath. But my favorite fire type is Typhlosion, cool name and cool look; it had fire COMING OUT OF IT'S NECK/BACK. Flame Wheel was a kick ass move too, I remember learning that against the gym leaders Steelix, thinking it was a rock type and not knowing fire>steel, I used it as some last resort/I don't care move. KO'd the bitch, I was hyped.
Lv. 70 Lugia, that's right. It makes for a wicked high pokemon to catch. No one cares that your team is level 100 anyway, that's kind of bogus since everyone will think you rare candied it. If you didn't that's cool too, but still no biggie. The wingy things on Wartortles head were pretty boss, it somehow reminded me of soldiers or something, I don't know. Air force maybe? Wouldn't make much sense so blehh. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: NovaMan XP on 14 May 2009, 00:13:42 I always pick the water starter, and I will do so again when I get Soul Silver.
Typhlosion is pretty cool though. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Mikero on 14 May 2009, 00:22:55 I don't like Typhlosion's look at all. His sprite looks like a flaming turd that became sentient. Moreover actual art of him looks like a ferret, and I'm not a fan of them.
The wings on Wartortle reminded you of soldiers, most likely because Captain America has wings in the same place. I rare cadied some Pokémon to 100 in Red with the item trick, but after that I just played them to death. So I'm sure Lugia is a legit 100. I hate Ho-Oh so he's lower still, in the 70's I think. My other 100's are like, the 3 legendary birds, Blastoise, and I think Mewtwo or something. I need to get an Arcanine up there :-O Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: ASR on 14 May 2009, 00:32:53 I love Wartortle's head-wings. I like Wartortle the best out of Squirtle, him, and Blastoise. Plus, as stated... that naaaaaame.
Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: preventerWIND on 14 May 2009, 00:33:41 I don't like Typhlosion's look at all. His sprite looks like a flaming turd that became sentient. Moreover actual art of him looks like a ferret, and I'm not a fan of them. I challenge you to a Pokemon BADDLE. One day. The wings on Wartortle reminded you of soldiers, most likely because Captain America has wings in the same place. Haha, of course.. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Mikero on 14 May 2009, 01:19:34 I equate Wartortle and Captain America as extreme badasses too, don't worry.
The part of Wartortle's design I don't like is his tailpiece. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Snare on 14 May 2009, 01:22:19 My favorite pokemon is Starmie. And he is one of the best Red/Blue battle wise.
Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: NovaMan XP on 14 May 2009, 01:25:15 My favorite from the Red/Blue games is Nidoking, and my favorite from the Gold/Silver games is Scizor.
Also, new scans and ##### from Famitsu... seeing Team Rocket again after all this time is really great. First page (http://pokebeach.com/news/0509/famitsu-1.jpg). Second page (http://pokebeach.com/news/0509/famitsu-2.jpg). Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Mikero on 14 May 2009, 01:25:52 I always liked Staryu better than Starmie. No good reason.
Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: NovaMan XP on 14 May 2009, 01:27:13 Might be because Staryu actually looked like a Starfish and Starmie looks like two of them got stuck together.
Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: preventerWIND on 14 May 2009, 01:30:39 Hah, first time I saw Team Rocket in G/S I was like SAY WHAAAAAAAAT.[/Ghandi]
Cyndaquil following you around in the first page.. :] ##### YOU ARCEUS WHAT A #####TY POKEMON Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Snare on 14 May 2009, 01:32:38 Staryu is cuuuuute. I love Staryu almost as much as 'Mie. When I first saw Staryu on the show, it was like I had an epiphany, like I saw the very face of God.
But not really. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Mikero on 14 May 2009, 01:34:05 Close, though.
Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Snare on 14 May 2009, 01:35:54 I'd be lying if I said I didn't like Jynx too.
Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: NovaMan XP on 14 May 2009, 01:36:42 The sound it makes when its sent out is so weird, that I actually like it.
Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Mikero on 14 May 2009, 01:48:13 Yeah same. Although I'm not certain if it's supposed to be in black face or something and that makes me uneasy.
Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: NovaMan XP on 14 May 2009, 01:52:02 (http://www.dragonflycave.com/dpsprites/124jynx.png)
Not anymore. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: preventerWIND on 14 May 2009, 01:56:40 (http://i160.photobucket.com/albums/t197/rarghgaafar/180px-Brock_with_his_eyes_open1.gif)
Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: NovaMan XP on 14 May 2009, 01:57:55 ...
Now you ruined Brock for me. I always thought he never opened his eyes... GEE THANKS WIND. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Mikero on 14 May 2009, 03:22:45 (http://www.dragonflycave.com/dpsprites/124jynx.png) I know and I wasn't serious and that changed nossing. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: NovaMan XP on 14 May 2009, 03:26:32 purple is teh new blak
But yeaaaaah, I couldn't tell if you were being serious or not, but I probably should've known you weren't. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: ChaosVortex on 14 May 2009, 04:15:08 About the conversation earlier, even though I like GS over Red and Blue, your head is twisted ASR. Yeah, the best starters were Squirtle, Charmander, and Bulbasaur... but c'mon.
Cyndaquil and Tododile were awesome. Mostly Tododile (if I'm spelling that right) but I love all their evolved forms. Chikorita was just meh, even when evolved. I'd prefer all the Red/Blue starters over the GS ones except for Squirtle and Tododile. That's just a hard choice personally. I mean, one's a huge gator, and one will be a turtle with GUNS. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: preventerWIND on 14 May 2009, 04:16:48 That's true. Gators are awesome, so are turtles. But turtle with GUNS. Well. That's pretty much it for gator.
Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Majikn on 14 May 2009, 04:24:20 Growlithe/Arcanine is definitely one of my favourites too, in terms of fire Pokemon. I can't think of one better, really.
Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Mikero on 14 May 2009, 04:35:13 Yeah I really can't either, even though I generally just use Moltres for that.
Mostly Tododile (if I'm spelling that right) You're not. Sorry, that didn't come of helpful. It's Totodile. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: ASR on 14 May 2009, 04:42:09 Haunter is, and always has been, my favorite Pokemon by far.
And I hate Gengar. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: NovaMan XP on 14 May 2009, 04:45:16 I remember I glitched Red version to get myself a level 250 Gengar...
I was trying to Rare Candy it to level 300 (and battling would make it go back to 100) and then it went "Gengar grew to level 0!" and I was shocked. And then I laughed. Level 0 Gengar. Seriously. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: preventerWIND on 14 May 2009, 04:47:06 I once caught a level 4 Gyarados in Ruby version. Legit.
Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: ChaosVortex on 14 May 2009, 04:51:07 I remember I glitched Red version to get myself a level 250 Gengar... Same, just switch "Gengar" with "Snorlax". But I like Gengar more than Haunter when choosing Pokemon, but in terms of design, Haunter > Gengar. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: ASR on 14 May 2009, 05:00:45 My favorite Pokemon memories are:
A) wasting my Master Ball on a Ponyta. I'm perpetually ashamed of this. I figured we'd get more Master Balls! And it was the first time I saw Ponyta, so I was all "HOLY CRAP CATCH IT GO" B) catching Mewtwo with a Great Ball. Since I didn't have the Master Ball, I had to resort to Ultra Balls... but for some reason, I ran out of those, and I'll never forget the triumph of catching him with a Great Ball. Most people don't believe me. Maybe I'm making up the memory. But it's still a good memory, false or not. C) using Gameshark to glitch the game so I could walk through walls... thus allowing me to go all the way to the Elite Four WITHOUT EVER CHOOSING A STARTER POKEMON IN THE BEGINNING. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Mikero on 14 May 2009, 05:03:39 Yeah I used a Master Ball on Articuno the first time for a similar reason. I thought I'd get more and I thought Articuno was this legendary Pokémon everyone was talking about.
I caught the red Gyarados in Silver. That was pretty cool. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: preventerWIND on 14 May 2009, 05:20:41 YOU CAUGHT A RED GYARADOS TOO?
Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: ChaosVortex on 14 May 2009, 05:22:27 My friend caught a red Sneasel.
No joke. I was totally jealous. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Mikero on 14 May 2009, 05:27:31 Sneasel is a turd.
And it's THE red Gyarados. There's only the one, causing trouble in a lake! Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: ChaosVortex on 14 May 2009, 05:30:12 I got FIVE.
PC cloning cheat FTW. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Mikero on 14 May 2009, 05:32:13 I'm too legit for you.
Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: ChaosVortex on 14 May 2009, 05:33:44 My seven Masterballs attached to my seven Lugias tell me I shouldn't care.
Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: preventerWIND on 14 May 2009, 05:38:49 Sure. But you have balls talking to you. You may not care, but we care.
I SHOULD GIVE YOU A MAGAZINE RACK MAN, YOU GOT WAAAAY TOO MANY ISSUES. *silence* Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: NovaMan XP on 14 May 2009, 05:46:29 My favorite Pokemon memories are: I actually did the same thing, but with an Arbok... I seriously also thought I'd get more Master Balls, and I was just all "GIANT SNAKE MUST CATCH IT'S RARE". Anyway, I can't wait to catch that red Gyarados again in the remakes... also on my Silver, a long while back I find a pink Mareep around that area with the Gyarados, I thought the game glitched, but it was the real deal. I raised it and evolved into Flaffy (which was also pink) and then into Ampharos, and I think it was purple. Any other shiny I've gotten after that were crap... Seaking in Diamond... Paras in Fire Red. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: ChaosVortex on 14 May 2009, 05:51:57 I've never done that with a Masterball. The game kinda implied that it was special and it didn't tell me how to get more, so I just assumed everyone knew it was THE ball. I've always been stingy on games and if I had only one of something and I had no way to back it up, I wouldn't rid it from my collection.
Of course, this means I never used a Masterball until I learned a cheat on how to duplicate them. >.>; And I tend not to duplicate Rare candies. It kinda spoils the challenge. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Mikero on 14 May 2009, 05:57:53 Excuse me but Gold and Silver didn't have this "shiny" Pokémon ##### and that's why it was cool to have a Gyarados that wasn't it's normal colour. This was before all that stupid crap.
The game implies every ball is special. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: ChaosVortex on 14 May 2009, 06:01:32 Yeah, okay, but it's the Master Ball.
MASTER BALL. It's not a Great Ball, or an Ultra Ball, it's THE MASTER OF YOUR BALLS. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Mikero on 14 May 2009, 06:05:39 I'm master of my domain.
Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Majikn on 14 May 2009, 06:07:05 I ended up sharking the hell out of that game, so much that if I go into my pack, with or without the gameshark, I have infinite master balls and rare candies.
I don't remember how I did that. I think I coded in a weird value for each. And it just doesn't subtract from whatever value I put in. I don't think I'd play another Pokemon anyway though. If I did I'd do it legitimately. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: preventerWIND on 14 May 2009, 06:07:12 Excuse me but Gold and Silver didn't have this "shiny" Pokémon ##### and that's why it was cool to have a Gyarados that wasn't it's normal colour. This was before all that stupid crap. If you're serious--...eh. I managed to get a shiny Ditto in Gold, I thought that breeding it with other pokemon would make them shiny. No go. The game implies every ball is special. The game implies every pokemon is special <3 :] Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: ChaosVortex on 14 May 2009, 06:11:06 I haven't witnessed shiny Pokemon in GS unless red ones count, then yeah I remember sleeping over at a friends house and we busted out our Gameboys. An hour later he's yelling, "DUDE, OMFG CHECK THIS OUT" and BAM, WILD RED SNEASEL.
He caught it. I wanted it. He said no. I said clone it. He said no. He's a jerk. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Mikero on 14 May 2009, 06:12:05 I thought Mareep was always pink...
Excuse me but Gold and Silver didn't have this "shiny" Pokémon ##### and that's why it was cool to have a Gyarados that wasn't it's normal colour. This was before all that stupid crap. They aren't. Just mine are special. And I really don't remember shiny anything in G/S but it doesn't matter, this Gyarados wasn't under that category so anyone who got it could only get it at that one point in the game, you wouldn't find another one. All my friends had just made it faint so I was hot ##### for a day. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: preventerWIND on 14 May 2009, 06:15:11 I thought Mareep was always pink... It's 2nd form is. All my friends had just made it faint so I was hot ##### for a day. HOLD B + DOWN The idea of a red Gyarados was always cool, made it look more fierce. Heck yeahs. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Majikn on 14 May 2009, 06:21:24 Not to mention (though I really do mention) the pattern of the "shines" was only made to follow the image of the Gyarados, so if you encountered another shiny enemy the shines were all wonky.
Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: ASR on 14 May 2009, 16:01:28 I got SURFING PIKACHU in Pokemon Yellow.
Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Johncarllos on 14 May 2009, 16:04:34 So did I.
Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: NovaMan XP on 14 May 2009, 19:41:25 So did I... in Platinum.
*walks away sadly* Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Snare on 14 May 2009, 20:57:32 I think pokemon should get its own topic and we can talk about pokemon there and stuff and hang out with other teens. :)
Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Mikero on 14 May 2009, 21:52:31 Pokémon Yellow is for trendy SQUARES.
Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Majikn on 14 May 2009, 22:11:05 Still funny when someone pulls out a Marowak to fight back against your electric mouse but SURF, BITCH
Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Captain Sanoguchi on 15 May 2009, 01:12:21 I stop paying attention for like a month and I come back to find you guys 'tarding out over Pokemon!?
. . . Uh... FIGHTING TYPE IS ALWAYS STRONGEST POKEMON EVER! . . . Also, Snare is smart, you always pick the girl. ALWAYS! 'Cept in Pokemon, that's the only exception. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Mikero on 15 May 2009, 01:28:11 Obviously YOU pick the girl.
Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Captain Sanoguchi on 15 May 2009, 01:51:39 What do you mean by that?
Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Snare on 15 May 2009, 02:35:02 HE MEANS YOU PICK THE GIRL YOU TWIT. :@
Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Majikn on 15 May 2009, 03:27:11 He means you're a closet pedophile who chooses not to seek help for the stigma of being seen as a pedophile and instead chooses to hide his pedophilia but still chooses to play as a little girl when I'm given the option.
Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Captain Sanoguchi on 15 May 2009, 04:26:54 He means you're a closet pedophile who chooses not to seek help for the stigma of being seen as a pedophile and instead chooses to hide his pedophilia but still chooses to play as a little girl when I'm given the option. When you're given the option!? Freudian slip, bitch! Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Majikn on 15 May 2009, 04:49:16 *sigh*
Thanks for finding the joke, Sano. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Vinchenz Rock on 15 May 2009, 08:21:11 I managed to get a shiny Ditto in Gold, I thought that breeding it with other pokemon would make them shiny. No go. It actually increases the chances by quite a bit. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: NovaMan XP on 17 May 2009, 22:06:34 From 1 in 8200 or something to 1 in 64.
Of course, that's only in Gold/Silver/Crystal. Posted on: May 15, 2009, 12:41:50 PM It happened. (http://gonintendo.com/wp-content/photos/051609_201200.jpg) Good job Capcom. Tatsunoko Vs. Capcom is coming to the US. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: ChaosVortex on 18 May 2009, 01:02:41 WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOoo
Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: ASR on 18 May 2009, 04:25:59 I still don't care about it.
Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: ChaosVortex on 18 May 2009, 05:21:23 I immediately care about any fighting game with Mega Man involved.
Of course, as much as I like this news, I'm probably not gonna own it or really get a chance to play it. I'm just happy for the opportunity. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Vinchenz Rock on 18 May 2009, 06:25:52 Capcom is also looking into putting more characters in it and maybe even online.
Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Mikero on 18 May 2009, 06:27:51 ㅎ_ㅎ
Too much could break it. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Majikn on 21 May 2009, 07:07:23 Project Trico:

A baby was born and it caused a little... cacauphony No blue buzzard, no three-eyed frog But a feline, vermin, mousecatbird. Mousecatbird! Mousecatbird! Alone in the world is a little mousecatbird! Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: ChaosVortex on 23 May 2009, 02:37:22 Hahahaha I haven't watched that show in forever.
MEMORY LANE Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Vinchenz Rock on 2 June 2009, 18:22:34 New Super Mario Bros.: Wii, a Mario Side-Scroller with 4-Player simultaneous action.
Mario & Luigi 3 finally announced for the Americas. Super Mario Galaxy 2, with Yoshi mount. 'nuff said. Golden Sun 3, FINALLY, looking beautiful on the DS. Wii Motion Plus might be a good thing. Oh, and Metroid: Project M. ... I creamed my pants when I saw it. A 3rd person Metroid game WITH STORY. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Fatso on 2 June 2009, 18:47:09 The Secret of Monkey Island.
IN HIGH DEFINITION. (http://www.lucasarts.com/games/monkeyisland/) And if that wasn't enough... Tales of Monkey Island (http://www.telltalegames.com/monkeyisland), a new Monkey Island game. The only worry I have about this is the episodic format. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Majikn on 2 June 2009, 20:26:33 Wow, Vinch, that's some good news to wake up to. Though I'm not sure what to think about Super Mario Galaxy 2 I suppose we'll just wait and see. I figured M&L3 would happen here, but I was iffy about that as well anyway. I'm looking forward to all of those games though.
Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: preventerWIND on 2 June 2009, 21:20:32
It's Other M. And apparently it's a combo of 3rd person and side scrolling. It better be good.. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: ASR on 2 June 2009, 21:37:04 Okay, wow, Nintendo just kicked it into HIGH GEAR.
Is it E3 or something? I keep hearing game announcements. But yeah, holy crap. It might be too late, but if it is, it's a case of "too MUCH, too late." And it's welcome. I think I'm most excited for Super Mario Galaxy 2. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Johncarllos on 2 June 2009, 21:40:16 It is E3, actually.
I'm still happy with my 360. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: ASR on 2 June 2009, 21:52:25 I'm not happy with my 360 and I'm also not happy with my Wii because I'm a spoiled brat.
Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Mikero on 2 June 2009, 21:55:19 Whoa whoa whoa Mario is getting 2 REAL Mario games within 10 years? And on the same console?
I'm happier with my 360 than I imagined I'd be. I'm more disappointed with my Wii than I thought I'd be. That pretty much made them equal out to the same, which I figured would happen. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: ASR on 2 June 2009, 22:04:33 Wii really just keeled over and died about a year in.
Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: preventerWIND on 2 June 2009, 22:08:42 So. New PSP design.
http://kotaku.com/5275971/psp-go-is-officially-249 Looks nice-ish. But I'll pass and buy an original. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: ASR on 2 June 2009, 22:26:16 ...how do you play that?
Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Mikero on 2 June 2009, 22:35:11 I'll pass and buy neither.
Also, redesigns are supposed to look BETTER. ...how do you play that? I think what they mean by "slide-out" is that, like with mobile phone keyboards, the control stuff would slide from under the screen. I'm not sure what I think about that. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: preventerWIND on 2 June 2009, 22:36:21 AAAAND new Castlevania (Lords of Shadow) announced. For 360 and PS3.
He has a whip. Good. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Vinchenz Rock on 2 June 2009, 23:28:57 I think the game is being made by Hideo Kojima instead of Iga.
Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Abominator on 3 June 2009, 00:17:09 Mario stuff, Metal Gear stuff and Monkey Island stuff are all that interests me so far.
I'm dismayed at all the BUMF that's being announced as if it's somehow good... Twitter and Facebook and all that ##### ##### that's already ruined the internet, now set to ruin games. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Slugkid on 3 June 2009, 00:57:21 I think the game is being made by Hideo Kojima instead of Iga.Which CVs were done by Iga? Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Johncarllos on 3 June 2009, 01:37:55 Mike, you wanted some plot for prototype?
http://www.gametrailers.com/video/e3-09-prototype/50024?type=flv Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Vinchenz Rock on 3 June 2009, 05:04:01 I think the game is being made by Hideo Kojima instead of Iga.Which CVs were done by Iga? ...All of them. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Captain Sanoguchi on 3 June 2009, 07:51:43 ...how do you play that? You don't. Anyboo, Sano is super excited about... New Super Mario Bros. Wii (Yoshi!) Super Mario Galaxy 2 (Yoshi!) No More Heroes 2 ("This isn't a battle anymore... It's a mother #####ing war!") Metal Gear Solid: Rising (I'd actually rather have just had a MGS4 port, but this is a step in the right direction.) Sin and Punishment 2 (Even though the trailer for it wasn't too exciting.) Left 4 Dead 2 ("...And if we run out of bullets... They're gonna wish we hadn't.") Seriously though, I can already hear my wallet whimpering. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Johncarllos on 3 June 2009, 14:32:50 No More Heroes 2 ("This isn't a battle anymore... It's a mother #####ing war!") Only thing out of that I'm interested in. Thank god for all my gamer friends at college having Wiis. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: ASR on 3 June 2009, 15:38:18 I figured out Nintendo's game: they leave out Yoshi or vaguely hint at him in one game, and then use his presence to boost sales of the next one.
Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Captain Sanoguchi on 3 June 2009, 16:52:34 No More Heroes 2 ("This isn't a battle anymore... It's a mother #####ing war!") Well, it is going to be totally awesome. You know some wicked ##### is about to go down when Suda pulls on his mask and his tights. How're you not excited about those other games? They're all so freakin' epic. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: ChaosVortex on 3 June 2009, 16:56:12 New PSP looks nice. Not gettin' it though.
New M&L? Hope it's not like the last one, that crap was waaaaay too easy. Make it like the first... Everything else sounds like it's good news or it could depend. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Captain Sanoguchi on 3 June 2009, 16:58:12 Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: ChaosVortex on 3 June 2009, 17:02:04 No, I honestly like it. I'd probably get it if I didn't already have a PSP.
But I'd imagine everyone has one already or never cared, so why bother putting this out on the market? Is Sony trying to compete with the DSi? Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Captain Sanoguchi on 3 June 2009, 17:03:06 Yes, they are, and they're stupid for even trying.
Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: ASR on 3 June 2009, 21:34:39 This is currently my most-anticipated game.
Aside from the two Mario games for Wii, this is probably the only other game that's been showcased at E3 that I'll be buying. Rock Band: The Beatles (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bpBDOolcs9g) Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: preventerWIND on 3 June 2009, 21:50:14 I don't listen to, nor will I ever have a reason to listen to The Beatles. I can't make an opinion on that game other than it's Rock Band, and I don't play Rock Band. So I'm passing.
Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: ASR on 3 June 2009, 22:00:28 No matter who you are, you listen to The Beatles.
Whether or not you like them is totally different, but you SHOULD like them. Which is why Abe is a loserface. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Slugkid on 3 June 2009, 22:15:14 I've known about it since last month or so. I won't have enough money for a DSi and it by august (A friend of a friend's father is going to the US then) AND THAT SUCKS.
We want it so much, my friend and me... Can somebody lend me a hundred bucks? I'll repay it, sometime... Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: ASR on 3 June 2009, 22:16:51 I've known about Beatles Rock Band for a long time but pushed it out of my memory like I try to do with anything I'm excited for.
It wasn't originally going to be branded under the Rock Band name because they didn't want that association despite being CREATED by them, but I'm glad they chose to label it such. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: preventerWIND on 3 June 2009, 22:26:03 No matter who you are, you listen to The Beatles. Not interested. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Captain Sanoguchi on 3 June 2009, 23:03:38 I also forgot to mention I'm super psyched about Brutal Legend.
Seriously, it's got Jack Black and it's made by Tim Schaefer! ...I loved Grim Fandango... Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Mikero on 3 June 2009, 23:49:58 Oh wow Jack Black.
ㅎ_ㅎ Mario stuff, Metal Gear stuff and Monkey Island stuff are all that interests me so far. I was wondering where you were. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: ASR on 4 June 2009, 00:08:14 Oh, Brutal Legend? I remember reading about that a LOOOOONG time ago. It looks interesting, especially since it's by the dude who did Psychonauts, which I liked, even though it wasn't as good as people say it is.
But I probably (definitely) won't play Brutal Legend. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Johncarllos on 4 June 2009, 00:27:11 I also forgot to mention I'm super psyched about Brutal Legend. This is currently my most-anticipated game. Both games I am also extremely excited for. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Captain Sanoguchi on 4 June 2009, 03:01:20 Oh, Brutal Legend? I remember reading about that a LOOOOONG time ago. It looks interesting, especially since it's by the dude who did Psychonauts, which I liked, even though it wasn't as good as people say it is. You forgot Grim Fandango. He made Grim Fandango too. Why does nobody ever mention Grim Fandango? Oh jeeze, I can't believe I forgot this one. Dude, Nintendo showed off the most awesome DS game ever that everyone seems to have overlooked or forgotten about. Man, Nintendo seriously has not forgotten about the hardcore gamers. This game is so #####ing epic. I know everyone will be playing it like a week after it comes out, it's going to be more infectious than Pokemon and the swine flu put together. ##### the new Halo, ##### Assassin's Creed 2, ##### all that other bull#####. This game is so much better than every other game announced at E3 put together. I am of course speaking of the epicness that is only known as Style Savvy. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: ASR on 4 June 2009, 17:29:41 The Beatles: Rock Band opening cinematic. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yjE9h_qKEuQ)
Awesome. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Edgecrusher on 4 June 2009, 18:15:33 Brutal Legend breaks my heart.
I was looking very forward to it when it was first announced. Then they announced that Jack Black would be doing the voice acting, because as we all know, there's NOTHING more metal than Jack Black *rolls eyes* But I figured, that's okay, I'll just turn off the voices and turn on the subtitles. Then I saw the character design... How am I supposed to ignore that it's Jack Black now? I would have bought it, but now I can't imagine doing so. If I didn't have a PSP, I'd get a PSP Go, assuming it's just as mod-able as the previous generations. I'm disappointed that Assassin's Creed 2 is rehashing the same time period. Feudal Japan would have been a better setting, as I can't help but feel as though I've already done this all before. Heavy Rain is looking good. Here's hoping it doesn't have the same issues as Indigo Prophecy. Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2 makes me happy. Now all they have to do is port Tales of Vesperia (in the US) and I will have officially lost any interest in getting a 360. Ratchet & Clank Future also makes me happy. It's good to know that game designers out there are still using more than two or three colors at a time. Uncharted 2 LOOKS good, but seems as generic as the first. Is it possible for Pixel Junk to put out a bad game? "Shooter" is a stupid name though; Never let your consumer base decide anything. I'm curious to see how Dante's Inferno will work out. I'd love to see a visual representation of all the circles of hell, especially if they stay as true to the imagery as they're claiming. That being said, the literature they're building off of had no conflict, it was pretty much just a poet walking through hell describing what he saw. I've seen their design for Dante, and I can't help but feel like, no matter how close they stick to the poem visually, they'll piss all over it in the long run. YAY for another Team ICO game! Took #####ing long enough. I'm anxiously looking forward to devouring the latest Metroid installment, though I'm not sure I understand how they're going to mix first person and side scrolling. Most games that try to tackle multiple perspectives fail at it. I'm apprehensive and yet hopeful about Bioshock 2. I loved the first, I just really hope this obvious attempt at creating a franchise to milk doesn't sully the name of the original. God of War III. Yup. It'd be hard to mess that one up, just stick to what works and finish the story. This game was the whole reason I bought a PS3 in the first place. A resounding "meh" goes to the majority of the rest of what I've seen come out of E3 though. That said, it isn't over yet. More opinionated rambling to come, I'm sure.

Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Johncarllos on 5 June 2009, 02:23:30 The Beatles: Rock Band opening cinematic. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yjE9h_qKEuQ) Dead link now. This works. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Oseosz-ntmQ AND HOLY COW. DO. WANT. THE END OF THAT IS INCREDIBLE. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: ASR on 5 June 2009, 02:57:28 Yeah. It's like... it's like... it's like just really cool and stuff!
Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Johncarllos on 5 June 2009, 03:06:34 It's pretty run-of-the-mill, until the ABSOLUTELY PSYCHEDELIC ENDING.
Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: ASR on 5 June 2009, 03:17:33 Agreed. Though the animation style in the beginning was cool enough for it to be above run-of-the-mill. Everything from when Here Comes The Sun starts playing is amazing, though.
Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Johncarllos on 5 June 2009, 03:24:39 Well, it's a typical start to game of that sort.
Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Vinchenz Rock on 5 June 2009, 08:26:16 I hope Live and Let Die is in it.
Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Mikero on 5 June 2009, 09:38:48 Not that I was going to get it, but "Saw Her Standing There" would be cool to have in it only because it's my favourite The Beatles song.
Yeah, "The". Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Edgecrusher on 5 June 2009, 18:01:14 Cool video. I like The Beatles pretty well, particularly their drugged out stuff.
That said, I don't care for Rock Band or Guitar Hero. More power to those of you who do though. It would be nice if the game actually featured tripped out visuals like that, but I'd almost think they'd be distracting, so I'd doubt it. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Abominator on 5 June 2009, 19:58:18 I was wondering where you were. Too sad for internetting lately. E3 was mediocre. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: ASR on 5 June 2009, 22:41:26 It would be nice if the game actually featured tripped out visuals like that, but I'd almost think they'd be distracting, so I'd doubt it. The trailer shows some trippy visuals for certain songs, like I Am The Walrus and Octopus's Garden. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Mikero on 6 June 2009, 01:41:18 I feel like the only person on the planet who actually prefers Meet The Beatles to their later albums...
Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Edgecrusher on 6 June 2009, 08:19:08 If I didn't do drugs, I'd agree with you.
On topic, having now soaked up pretty much everything E3 had to show us, and not wanting to sound like a fanboy, I think Sony really mopped the floor this year. Of the three press conferences, their line-up was easily the strongest. Everything anyone else had to show, they trumped. That glowing dildo motion controller bitchslapped Wii Motion + AND 360's camera at the same time, and their game lineup was second to none. Pure insanity. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: MOX on 6 June 2009, 09:04:49 Guitar Hero is fun but buying a new game with different songs but the same game mechanics isn't very appealing to me.
I dont really like how Microsoft and Sony are essentially giving a low blow the Wii, but it's probably what the market wants. I don't know how good the motion sensing for the 360 is, but the technology for the PS3's magic wand was incredible, it's definately a lot better than aiming at an IR sensor. Now that Microsoft and Sony will do essentially the same stuff as the Wii but with better hardware, it seems like the Wii will really be even more of a budget console in the future. (which is sad because it was really innovative when It first came out). I'm still relaly excited for the games that are comming out for the Wii so when the price drops down again later this year I'd like to get one. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Mikero on 6 June 2009, 09:12:15 I got my 360 for games that don't have that motion sensor stuff.
So I'm not a fan. But I haven't actually looked at any E3 stuff other than what I've heard here 'cause... Eh. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: NovaMan XP on 9 June 2009, 05:29:52 So I've been living under a rock and just now realized Super Mario Galaxy 2's existence.
I don't know how I missed Sano's post. EDIT: Oh, and Vinchenz's post too. ...sometimes clicking the "new" button in the topic list doesn't really put you to the first unread post I guess... I'm a little surprised they're making a SEQUEL to a main Mario game... that hasn't happened since... the NES games? Oh right, and New Super Mario Bros. Wii. I don't want to play as either of the toads in that, ever. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Majikn on 9 June 2009, 05:49:10 Super Mario World 2, I cite.
It's not unheard of, it's just completely unexpected due to it not happening for two consoles straight. And I WELCOME it, kind of... I really just hope it's a GOOD sequel, that's all I can ask for. I don't mind so much that they're reusing the space theme for their next 3D platformer, given that it's also coming SOONER than expected. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Mikero on 9 June 2009, 09:58:45 Mario and Luigi 2.
Mario and Luigi 3. And a plethora of Paper Mario games that all suck compared to the original which was just OK and really a worse version of Mario RPG which for Bob's sakes actually deserves the attention these other Mario games are getting which is in a way getting annoying which is an adjective right now which is the only moment in time that actually exists which is where it gets complicated which is complicated. Don't count Mario's need to party and play sports only once a year each MAXIMUM. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Vinchenz Rock on 9 June 2009, 11:29:56 Mario and Luigi: Super Star Saga is an amazing game, however, and is almost as good as SMRPG. Almost.
The others are still good, IMO. Except for M&L2. What a disappointment that game was. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Majikn on 9 June 2009, 19:15:30 Mike, we're thinking in terms of platforming Mario games. Games like Paper Mario were always like... on-the-side stuff. Other than that I don't really know what you're talking about because while Super Mario RPG is a good game it's also not a new release. So... it wouldn't be getting any attention compared to upcoming Mario games. And I don't really think anyone OR their dog thinks the newer Mario RPGs are better than the original Super Mario RPG, but I for one have played them all and enjoyed them and I don't know why everyone's so on about how they suck.
Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Mikero on 9 June 2009, 22:38:25 Mario and Luigi: Super Star Saga is an amazing game, however, and is almost as good as SMRPG. Almost. Uh, yes it is a great game. Uh, no it's not almost as good as Super Mario RPG. Mike, we're thinking in terms of platforming Mario games. Games like Paper Mario were always like... on-the-side stuff. I didn't notice the word "main" in "main Mario games". Other than that I don't really know what you're talking about because while Super Mario RPG is a good game it's also not a new release. So... it wouldn't be getting any attention compared to upcoming Mario games. That's not at all what I meant. I meant that game, being arguably the best side-Mario game of all, actually deserves a sequel more than the others. It has nothing to do with whether or not it's a new release. And for the record the only Paper Mario I've really liked was the first one, and the one on Wii really sucked. Like.. A lot. It was fun for about the first level. I only played the first Mario & Luigi and I really liked it, so I don't know where you got the idea that I think all the Mario RPG style games that aren't Super Mario RPG suck. I only said the sequels to Paper Mario suck, but that's in comparison to the original because it was great. And I don't really think anyone OR their dog thinks the newer Mario RPGs are better than the original Super Mario RPG Never said that. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Vinchenz Rock on 10 June 2009, 01:25:10 And I don't really think anyone OR their dog thinks the newer Mario RPGs are better than the original Super Mario RPG, but I for one have played them all and enjoyed them and I don't know why everyone's so on about how they suck. I know plenty of people who prefer the Paper Mario games to Super Mario RPG. And I agree that Square-Enix should get off their asses and ask Nintendo to make another Super Mario RPG. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: MOX on 10 June 2009, 01:57:34 I never finished SMRPG. I remember playing it during the sixth grade and enjoying it alot before my friend moved and took hes SNES with him. I believed I was at the part with the piano keys at some pond or something.
I need to play that game again. I really liked the graphics and music. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: NovaMan XP on 10 June 2009, 02:50:31 I loved Paper Mario. I hated Super Paper Mario. That game was so #####ing boring and easy it just killed it completely.
Never played Thousand Year Door, and I don't care enough to anymore. I should probably get SMRPG on the Wii's Virtual Console. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Johncarllos on 10 June 2009, 02:57:28 I liked Super Paper Mario.
It was charming. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: ASR on 10 June 2009, 03:23:48 Charming is too nice, but it was cute.
Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: ChaosVortex on 10 June 2009, 03:42:00 I loved Paper Mario. I hated Super Paper Mario. That game was so #####ing boring and easy it just killed it completely. That's a shame. TYD is the best of the bunch. And I honestly got bored with SMRPG, but I intend to pick it back up. You should give it a shot Nova. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: NovaMan XP on 10 June 2009, 03:49:29 I loved Paper Mario. I hated Super Paper Mario. That game was so #####ing boring and easy it just killed it completely. I hear otherwise. And even though I haven't played it, I don't think anything could be more awesome than my first (and at the moment only) playthrough of Paper Mario. Although maybe I'll give that one a shot, after SMRPG or something. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: ChaosVortex on 10 June 2009, 03:58:06 I think Edge also agrees it's the best out of the bunch... but I gave TYD my vote as best because it's slightly harder, more stuff to do, the battle system is better, and I like the storyline a bit more.
You definitely should try it out. As for SMRPG, I can't personally say if I really like it more because I haven't beaten it, but it's fun. Not addicting fun, but it's good for a time killer. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Mikero on 10 June 2009, 06:10:59 It's very possible that NOW you wouldn't rate it as high but at the time it kicked the ass of the planet Earth and the rest of ZZ9 Plural Z Alpha.
I never finished SMRPG. I remember playing it during the sixth grade and enjoying it alot before my friend moved and took hes SNES with him. I believed I was at the part with the piano keys at some pond or something. I think that's when you get Mallow, which isn't even half way! You missed out on a lot! Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Majikn on 10 June 2009, 06:41:08 Other than that I don't really know what you're talking about because while Super Mario RPG is a good game it's also not a new release. So... it wouldn't be getting any attention compared to upcoming Mario games. Thought you meant "attention" from the fans. And for the record the only Paper Mario I've really liked was the first one, and the one on Wii really sucked. Like.. A lot. It was fun for about the first level. I only played the first Mario & Luigi and I really liked it, so I don't know where you got the idea that I think all the Mario RPG style games that aren't Super Mario RPG suck. I only said the sequels to Paper Mario suck, but that's in comparison to the original because it was great. I got the idea when you said they suck compared to Super Mario RPG, which is good to me, but not great. So if something is bad compared to something that's decent, fun, replayable... I guess it's arguable from there but I was thinking negatively. I'm not sure I want a sequel to Super Mario RPG but I would have liked to see something in a similar vein to it. Actually more like somewhere in-between Super Mario RPG and Paper Mario/Mario and Luigi would be fine by me. And I don't really think anyone OR their dog thinks the newer Mario RPGs are better than the original Super Mario RPG Also a misunderstanding. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Vinchenz Rock on 10 June 2009, 22:02:45 So, (http://serebii.net/index2.shtml) you'll be able to catch Groudon in Soul Silver and Kyogre in Heart Gold after beating the Elite 4. Also, if you have both in your game, Rayquaza will be able to get caught.
And it looks like there's going to be an event surrounding Cynthia (champion from Pearl/Diamond/Platinum) and Arceus (Mr. Legendary Pokemon who is also God or something). Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: preventerWIND on 11 June 2009, 00:39:20 RAYQUAAAAAZA? Green flying dragon fella? Oh, snap.
I want Heart Goooold.. too bad I have to catch Kyogre, I prefer Groudon. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: TriggerUNIT on 11 June 2009, 01:11:41 I must say I'm looking forward to the next Metroid instalment... The name for the project, The Other M... Well it's stupid, yes, But what was presented looks sleek, and I actually think metroid has something to gain from a more brutal and barbaric fighting style, if combat is anything like the trailer.
If the trailer is anything to go by, I just hope they don't get happy with the melee and have that distract from the weapons Samus normally uses. Change is good, reconstruction this far in, not so much. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: NovaMan XP on 11 June 2009, 02:34:08 So, (http://serebii.net/index2.shtml) you'll be able to catch Groudon in Soul Silver and Kyogre in Heart Gold after beating the Elite 4. Also, if you have both in your game, Rayquaza will be able to get caught. Arceus is the worst Pokémon idea ever I think. Anyway, I guess that means we can expect Hoenn Pokémon to appear in those games in a new area or something like how Fire Red/Leaf Green had Johto Pokémon in those islands. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Vinchenz Rock on 11 June 2009, 10:25:41 A lot of people are hoping for the Orange Islands to show up. I'm not one of those people, though.
I want Heart Goooold.. too bad I have to catch Kyogre, I prefer Groudon. Online trading will definitely return, and they'll probably also add a Global Trading Center in the game somewhere, probably in Goldenrod. I wouldn't be surprised if it could interact with D/P/Pt's GTS either. You'll be able to do trades just as easily as before. So, it'll probably be very easy to get a Groudon. I'm glad I'm getting Soul Silver because I have Kyogre already in Pearl by getting it in Sapphire (that seems much more complicated than it should...). I don't like buying more than one version of the same game, so buying Ruby just to get Groudon was a no-go for me. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: ChaosVortex on 11 June 2009, 16:37:07 I never finished SMRPG. I remember playing it during the sixth grade and enjoying it alot before my friend moved and took hes SNES with him. I believed I was at the part with the piano keys at some pond or something. He went farther than I did years ago. I rented the game and I wasn't able to beat the first boss before returning it: The crocodile thief with the bombs. But now, last I played it, I'm in some pirate ship. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Mikero on 12 June 2009, 00:28:58 Same here. But then I borrowed it from a friend in high school and then the guy got expelled. We grew apart, and I still have the game. So I won.
Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: TheOnly on 12 June 2009, 00:47:17 This waaayyyy off tpoic. But the game that am excited for is Tekken 6. I've been a Tekken fan since Tekken 2 so yea. Coolness.
Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Mikero on 12 June 2009, 01:08:47 How is that at all off topic?
Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: TheOnly on 12 June 2009, 01:18:28 Talking about Pokemon and all that nice stuff.
Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: ASR on 12 June 2009, 02:05:30 Guys I know this is waaaaaay off topic but I found a quarter on the ground and it was in like perfect condition no scratches or nothin' it was just super shiny so yeeeeah. Coolness.
Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: preventerWIND on 12 June 2009, 02:27:55 I once found two bucks in my pants.
For real. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: NovaMan XP on 12 June 2009, 02:48:35 A few days ago I found 80. Then I remembered my birthday was last week.
Same here. But then I borrowed it from a friend in high school and then the guy got expelled. We grew apart, and I still have the game. So I won. That's great. I did something similar, although with a game not nearly as good apparently. I borrowed Onimusha 3 from a friend in 8th grade, and then we graduated and went to different schools and never saw each other again until two weeks ago. He probably doesn't even remember, but he probably doesn't care either since he didn't even like the game. Talking about Pokemon and all that nice stuff. There IS an upcoming Pokémon game, y'know? The remakes of Gold & Silver? Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: ASR on 12 June 2009, 03:07:01 I once found two bucks in my pants. I found a twenty in my jeans once and I have no idea why I was so excited and happy because obviously it's twenty dollars that I LOST and then FOUND. AStRivia: I used that event as the basis for a joke in my stand-up routine! The more you know! Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Mikero on 13 June 2009, 04:28:45 Wow that joke must have sucked.
;) Talking about Pokemon and all that nice stuff. But the TOPIC is literally called "Upcoming Games Topic"... Same here. But then I borrowed it from a friend in high school and then the guy got expelled. We grew apart, and I still have the game. So I won. It happened to me with most of my SNES games, the ones I LIKED like Mario Kart (I miss you MK!) and #####, so I didn't feel really bad about keeping the one game. Posted on: 12 June 2009, 01:50:49 The Last Guardian looks pretty bitchin', but it's the type of game I prefer to watch so hopefully someone I know gets a PS3 for it. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: ChaosVortex on 15 June 2009, 04:01:59 Anyone got the new PSP Go yet?
No? Good. (http://videogames.yahoo.com/events/plugged-in/analyst-psp-go-is-a-rip-off/1325445) Credit to Annie for linking me. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Mikero on 15 June 2009, 04:11:30 Since I thought the first one was ripoff anyway, this doesn't sway me. Also I have a question about this lack of UMD drive; How do you play games you already bought for your original PSP?
Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Captain Sanoguchi on 15 June 2009, 04:26:17 You needed an article to tell you it sucks?
Really? I thought you were smarter than that. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: ChaosVortex on 15 June 2009, 04:37:34 Only thing I thought was a rip was the price, and the whole UMD thing would work out somehow I guess, but no Sano. Don't even try to start.
Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: NovaMan XP on 15 June 2009, 05:38:00 Every PSP is a rip off.
I only have first one only because of When I saw the PSP Go, I laughed a LOT. The DSi was just released, at $170... and it has everything you liked about the other DS's.. except now it has downloadable DSiWare games, an SD Slot, and a useless camera among other things... now the PSP Go is what, $250? And are the new features? Nothing? Oh, no UMD drive? How is that GOOD? I think Sony made this so idiots will go "omg new psp!11!" and buy it without knowing it's just the latest PSP but smaller and with something MISSING. And 16GB of memory isn't going to help if they'll let you download the games you've bought, since a PSP game is usually 1-2GBs each. It's more pointless than installing 360 games into your 360. Unless you have the Elite Hard drive. You know, I thought Nintendo used to whore out its handhelds with multiple versions, but Sony has proven me wrong. In less than 2 years they released 3 new PSPs. Each more pointless than the last. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: ChaosVortex on 15 June 2009, 05:57:48 It's to boost sales to make up for
Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: ASR on 15 June 2009, 06:16:03 I have one thing to say, and then some other stuff following it:
SCRIBBLENAUTS. I am amazed by this game in the same way I'd be amazed if a transparent edible ghost riding a baby unicorn trotted into my room right now from out of the TARDIS. It's for the DS and, basically, you write words... and whatever you write appears on the screen to help your character solve a problem. It sounds simple and unassuming... ...but read this preview. (http://www.joystiq.com/2009/06/05/hands-on-scribblenauts/#continued) ...And this one. (http://www.joystiq.com/2009/06/05/scribblenauts-passes-our-ten-word-challenge-with-flying-colors/#continued) It's just... ...wow. I cannot wait to try this. DS, you have won again. EDIT: Videos! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RTEUbtgpIgo http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vB1Wnbhlzrs http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HrnsOx9Akcc&feature=related http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aBRwzSJy9vo&feature=fvw Okay, seriously, as I watch these, my mouth is dropping wide open in awe, as if this someone is serving me the secrets to the universe and the promise of immortality and a lifetime supply of mint-chocolate-chip ice cream. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Slugkid on 15 June 2009, 06:26:08 It's full of stuff, and they are going to keep adding stuff until it's release, it seems. There's even meme's there.
Does anyone have a link to the current dictionary, if any? Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Majikn on 15 June 2009, 06:45:55 I loved the end of the first video.
Well, you've given the game my interest. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Vinchenz Rock on 15 June 2009, 08:04:55 Rick Roll and Long Cat have been confirmed to be objects you can create.
Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Fatso on 15 June 2009, 08:53:36 I... just... I... wow.
Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: ChaosVortex on 15 June 2009, 12:31:17 Looks like one insane concept, but I'm assuming the game is shorter than what I'd be satisfied with. Only 100 puzzles.
Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: ASR on 15 June 2009, 16:58:00 220 levels, plus hard mode, plus a level editor that you can go online with to share with others.
...plus ANYTHING YOU CAN THINK OF. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: ChaosVortex on 15 June 2009, 17:12:29 I didn't see any of that in the videos. I skipped the articles, and one of the videos said, "100 puzzles".
Nevermind then. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Captain Sanoguchi on 15 June 2009, 19:56:27 Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Mikero on 16 June 2009, 00:21:53 The DSi was just released, at $170... and it has everything you liked about the other DS's.. I liked having a GBA slot. It's more pointless than installing 360 games into your 360. Unless you have the Elite Hard drive. Uhh no that's not pointless. 1) If I hadn't installed Fable 2 to my hard drive, it would crash a random intervals making the game unplayable. Installing it fixed that COMPLETELY. 2) Mass Effect is a big game, and sometimes textures and stuff take a bit to load around you, installing the game to my hard drive didn't fix that completely but it made EVERYTHING a lot faster. I agree with the rest. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Johncarllos on 16 June 2009, 03:34:03 Installing to hard drive also prevents RROD from overheat caused by constant use of the disc drive.
AND the games load a lot faster. And I have an elite so :-P Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: NovaMan XP on 16 June 2009, 05:13:40 The DSi was just released, at $170... and it has everything you liked about the other DS's.. ... I could've sworn I put something about that in my post, but I seem to have forgotten. Oh well. It's more pointless than installing 360 games into your 360. Unless you have the Elite Hard drive.Uhh no that's not pointless. Didn't know about that. But like I said, unless you got a big Hard Drive, you won't have enough space for anything eventually. If you add in those giant expansion add-ons, etc. that 6.7GBs of space (or more possibly) seems a bit excessive.... but of course, if the game stops freezing and works A LOT better, then it's the perfect thing to do. But now I think about it, I should install some of those games that seem to have disc problems... Installing to hard drive also prevents RROD from overheat caused by constant use of the disc drive. ... really? I hate my stupid 10GB (or is it 20GB?) Hard Drive. I can only install 2 games on it, and with the other downloads I have, it goes down to 1... And I don't want to spend over $100 (I think it was that much last time I checked) for a 120GB Hard Drive... Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Fatso on 16 June 2009, 05:19:58 $100 for only 120GB of storage is a travesty, console or not.
Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: NovaMan XP on 16 June 2009, 05:43:56 I got a 1TB external hard drive for $100, so yes, that's a MASSIVE ripoff.
Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Johncarllos on 16 June 2009, 16:01:15 It's a COMPLETE ripoff, though you can get a hard drive of that type off the internet for about 40 bucks and crack open a shell for the 360 HDD, throw it in, and buy the connector, connect it to your computer, and format for 360 use and it'll work great.
A had a friend that did that and resold them for $90 a piece. the 120 ones are 160 bucks though. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Edgecrusher on 16 June 2009, 17:26:40 You should not have to jump through that many hoops to upgrade a hard drive, nor should you have to pay as much as they want.
ESPECIALLY when hard drive space is becoming more important due to downloading games via online services or copying disc data for faster loading times. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: TheOnly on 22 June 2009, 18:37:49 And one day we won't even need discs to play games....
Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Johncarllos on 22 June 2009, 18:40:49 *coughPSPGOcough
Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: ASR on 22 June 2009, 19:25:26 People always tell me not to collect DVD's because in a few years, there'll just be a brand new format and my stuff'll be outdated.
I'm adamant that Blu-Ray is the final outing on physical video products and in 5-10 years it'll all be entirely digital. Music already has pretty much gone that way, and video isn't far behind at all. I can definitely see games going in the same direction - in fact, I expect it. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Edgecrusher on 22 June 2009, 19:44:46 Fiber-optic internet connections will have to be more common first though. There's no way that downloading a 50GB game will be practical until connection speeds improve significantly.
Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Johncarllos on 22 June 2009, 19:49:31 Well, most areas have the option of at LEAST 8Mb/s (read 1 Megabyte per second), so if people are willing to pay the money, that's entirely doable.
Of course, with satellite and cable internet, 56Mb/s is becoming quite common (for like 200 bucks a month). Who even NEEDS that fast of a connection besides a business? Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Edgecrusher on 22 June 2009, 19:55:26 People already bitch about five minute install/download times. Until they can get a new game in less time than that, I don't see it catching on.
That said, I'm sure it's ultimately inevitable. In a way it's kind of sad though. Digital media lacks the artistic presentation that was possible with it's physical counterparts. I've owned albums and movies where the case was just as cool as its contents. It will be sad to see that aspect die off. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Johncarllos on 22 June 2009, 19:58:17 I much prefer to have the CD, it's easy to share, can be played almost anywhere (without taking an MP3 player and adapter), and I always have a backup of it if my computer decides to crap itself.
Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: ASR on 22 June 2009, 20:04:01 In a way it's kind of sad though. Digital media lacks the artistic presentation that was possible with it's physical counterparts. I've owned albums and movies where the case was just as cool as its contents. It will be sad to see that aspect die off. I feel the exact same way, which is why I collect DVD's physically, and buy a CD if I like it enough, and why I paid $50 for a stupid cardboard box and an old stripped NES cartridge with a MegaMan 9 sticker on it. That said, I also own a terabyte which currently houses hundreds of digital copies of movies, almost 50 full TV shows, and over 50 gigs of music. I'm a huge fan of this all-digital thing, but I'm also a huge fan of physically owning a nice phyiscal package of something. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Edgecrusher on 22 June 2009, 20:11:28 I used to collect DVDs too. I had around 400 or so when I sold them all to buy Emili's engagement ring.
Since then, I've started collecting blu-rays. I'd say that I don't anticipate needing any higher fidelity than blu-ray offers, but I'm also pretty sure I said that when I started collecting DVDs. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: ASR on 22 June 2009, 22:15:03 Blu-Ray is GORGEOUS but I don't collect them for several reasons.
- I only have 1 HDTV in my house, and for most of my time I won't even be home - I don't own a Blu-Ray player at all - I watch a LOT of my DVD's on a portable DVD-player, which can't play Blu-Rays - I usually hook that same portable DVD-player up to a TV if I want to watch something on a regular TV - Aside from my portable DVD-player, I generally use my 360 to watch DVD's - They're really goddamn expensive But I do love watching Blu-Rays. It's just not practical for me. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Mikero on 22 June 2009, 23:13:53 I couldn't play or watch a Blu-Ray if I tried, I have none of the necessary components and while I think my friends' HDTVs look incredible for gaming I think it's a bit too much def when looking at real people. There's something I don't like about my TV looking MORE clear than real life. Maybe that's just me not wanting change, I don't know, but I'm willing to wait. I always do.
And yeah I agree with Edge about the packaging thing. It used to be awesome. Today it's not as common that something has great packaging, so it's kind of easy to see that going away completely. It reminds of me the sound lost between vinyl records and CDs. And yeah I still buy movies and music physically. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Johncarllos on 23 June 2009, 00:27:06 Take a look at the package for the new Spinal Tap CD and you will see a lot more effort put into that than MANY other things.
Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: ASR on 23 June 2009, 00:59:39 I think the most impressive things on HDTV are sports events.
Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Johncarllos on 23 June 2009, 02:00:19 I like videogames on HDTV.
But yeah, sports do look AMAZING. Seeing each blade of grass is really something. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Mikero on 23 June 2009, 04:30:29 I watch sports on a court so I won't benefit from this grass business.
But yeah, an HDTV is amazing connected to an XBox 360, PS3, or a computer with a decent graphics card. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Johncarllos on 28 June 2009, 21:22:19 No More Heroes 2: Desperate Struggle.
1. Shinobu, the teen assassin from the original game, will return in NMH2: Desperate Struggle as a playable character. Her fighting style will significantly differ from Travis’, as she moves faster and can even jump. You can’t play as her whenever you want, though. 2. Suda expects NMH2 to have around 50 boss battles. He comments, “… we didn’t just want you to be fighting them as the same character again and again. By allowing the player to use a different character we can change up the tempo and offer more surprises. “ 3. Travis’ primary reason for taking on the United Assassins Association again is to avenge the death of his best friend from the first game, Bishop.

So nyah! Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Johncarllos on 29 June 2009, 02:30:56 I have friends who have Wiis.
Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Captain Sanoguchi on 29 June 2009, 02:54:00 Whatever, I've been waiting for it since last year and it's going to be #####ing awesome!
Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: ChaosVortex on 29 June 2009, 03:05:55 John, you're not a man without a Wii and you know it!
Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Johncarllos on 3 July 2009, 04:08:06 Suda 51 says the No More Heroes franchise needs to leave the Wii if it's going to be successful.
http://www.edge-online.com/news/no-more-heroes-will-%E2%80%9Cneed-a-new-platform%E2%80%9D If it comes out for the 360, I really will have NO regrets. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: ChaosVortex on 3 July 2009, 05:17:13 Still Wiiless...
I don't care if this is 2009 and that joke is 3 years old, YOU STILL LACK A WII. (Although I do desire a 360 this time around...) Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Johncarllos on 3 July 2009, 05:26:47 The 360 is nice, but the entire generation lacks that certain kind of game.
That game that is genuinely fun. The game that doesn't get old. A game that is just truly FUN. I need to try Fallout 3 and Mass Effect. I also need to give some other games a try. I think I'm getting tired of videogames in general, although I can still have a lot of fun. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Edgecrusher on 3 July 2009, 06:18:59 While I considered it for awhile, I ultimately chose not to sell my Wii.
There may not be much on the system right now, but I think patience will pay off in the long run. Also, JC, I completely understand how you feel. There's a part of me that is very much afraid that I'm falling out of love with gaming, because it just doesn't pull me in like it used to. I really, really don't want that to be the case, so I'm currently telling myself that it has more to do with this generation of games than anything else. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Johncarllos on 3 July 2009, 06:25:50 I'm very sure it does.
Regardless, I'm going to hook up my old Gamecube in the living room and play through Windwaker again. Just because. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Majikn on 3 July 2009, 06:41:33 Suda 51 says the No More Heroes franchise needs to leave the Wii if it's going to be successful. ... Wow, so far it's just ONE game that's not even all that good. Someone get this guy off his ego trip. So far all I've heard from him is whinery about how it doesn't get enough attention, when so far all I see in this is a mediocre game that only has decent gameplay when you're not masturbating the controller or doing random boring crap for money. And the attempts at humour in the game aren't funny at all. They really just make me twitch. I almost feel embarassed to play the game, which is a huge turn off from playing it, even when I'm alone and even though that's usually the case. Could just be my personal taste I guess. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Johncarllos on 3 July 2009, 07:10:33 I loved that game.
I was thoroughly entertained by it. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: ASR on 3 July 2009, 13:32:01 No More Heroes was lame once you got past the crazy stylizations and absurd storyline.
It oozes style, but that causes you to forget that it's a pretty bad game otherwise. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Edgecrusher on 3 July 2009, 15:21:07 It's kind of like the movie Running Scared. If you just let the experience wash over you, it's pretty good.
The moment you start to think about things, however, it all goes to hell in a hand basket. I enjoyed No More Heroes simply due to the fact that I have a friend who, at least I'm pretty sure, sees himself this way. Not that it's even remotely true; with the possible exception of the insane fan-boy-ism, and general complete lack of social grace. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Mikero on 12 July 2009, 06:56:26 Also, JC, I completely understand how you feel. There's a part of me that is very much afraid that I'm falling out of love with gaming, because it just doesn't pull me in like it used to.I sort of have to play devil's advocate to you guys and say I'm kind of hoping I get more out of gaming. Right now it's fine, I'm playing one game at a time and then moving onto another straight away, but come August I have to cut that out completely. I'll have to not play games until around this time next year. OK, so it's not really something I want, I just have to do it that way. Anyway I never tried No More Heroes. I don't have a drive to, but I wouldn't mind checking it out if the planets so aligned. Posted on: 3 July 2009, 21:53:09 This game is out already, I think, but I'm not playing it so this seems like a better thread to ask; What's with the Goldeneye quality graphics in the backgrounds of The Conduit? I mean, I don't care about graphics really but this is still a 2009 Wii release. Granted I've only seen a screen or two but it looks pretty rrrough. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: MOX on 12 July 2009, 07:28:11 I think its the lack of anti-aliasing. Everything else looks rather good with all the gloss though.
Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Vinchenz Rock on 12 July 2009, 08:20:35 The Conduit's graphics could be better, but I never noticed anything bad about the backgrounds. The artstyle could have gone in a better direction though.
Online is hella fun and The Grinder (another game by the same company) looks like it'll be 1000x better. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Johncarllos on 12 July 2009, 16:23:09 The Conduit for the Wii has graphics that are no better than Halo 1 on the XBox.
8 years later and that is the Wii's graphical limit. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Abominator on 12 July 2009, 18:28:19 Conduit is good but so generic.
I don't understand why there arent more FPS games on Wii. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Johncarllos on 12 July 2009, 18:43:53 It's funny, all the shooting games are made for the 360 and PS3, but the Wii Remote is the best controller for shooting games.
Now the systems that have relied on their regular controllers for shooting games are going to try for controls more like the Wii, but they will be impossible for shooting games. (maybe) But if Project Natal can allow people to drive effectively in games like Burnout paradise, seeing the small hand movements of the 'wheel,' maybe you'll be able to use props depending on the game. That would be sweet. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Fatso on 12 July 2009, 23:11:10 Mouse and keyboard > wii remote, but beyond that yes.
Also why are we comparing the game to Halo? Is it that bland? Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: MOX on 13 July 2009, 02:23:23 He was comparing the graphics, but from what I've seen The Conduit does look pretty bland.
Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Mikero on 13 July 2009, 02:51:35 I'm not into the idea of using "props" to play games mainly because I don't think I should have to buy a different add on for every other game.
The Conduit for the Wii has graphics that are no better than Halo 1 on the XBox. Well duh. The Wii only went for a MINOR upgrade in graphics from Gamecube in favor of innovation. I'm not saying I expected it to look incredible, and I haven't played it to really see for myself, but the backgrounds I saw in screenshots in print (ads in comics) looked worse than Gamecube graphics. Seriously N64 territory. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Edgecrusher on 13 July 2009, 02:56:37 They aren't THAT bad, but they're not they're not very good either.
It's pretty obvious when you play it that things weren't meant to stand up to close scrutiny. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Fatso on 13 July 2009, 11:55:50 Got around to seeing a gameplay video and it looks bleh enough for me to take a pass completely. Maybe... just maybe... next time they'll put some more effort in.
Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Edgecrusher on 13 July 2009, 18:03:03 The multiplayer redeems it's half-assed single player campaign.
Those are rare words coming from me. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: NovaMan XP on 24 July 2009, 02:04:40 So uh...
Miles Edgeworth game releases in North America in February 2010 (I knew it). Bah. (http://www.gamespot.com/news/6213922.html) Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Majikn on 24 July 2009, 02:08:38 And Batman: Arkham Asylum is out August 25th this year.
Joker is only playable in the PS3 version. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Mikero on 24 July 2009, 02:13:05 The designs for that are so weird. Harley Quinn looks way different. There's parts I think are cool but overall it's too different and not knowing much about the game other than some designs I don't understand why they change it around like that.
Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Majikn on 24 July 2009, 03:05:44 Well with Harley Quinn at least she was like "How do you like my new uniform?" So there's at least an explanation for that.
They just wanted to sex it up. Is Poison Ivy a lot different too? 'Cause basically you've got this big green almost naked woman. I'm really excited for the game, but the most important part is I'm not sure how much I'm going to end up enjoying the gameplay. It looks like it could end up too much like Assassin's Creed. Do you know that a lot of the voice actors are from the Animated Series? Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: ASR on 24 July 2009, 03:15:27 Haha. Is Mark Hamill in?
Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Majikn on 24 July 2009, 03:16:04 Yes.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TYPc8UIq-V4 Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: ASR on 24 July 2009, 03:57:25 I just watched all the trailers. Game looks pretty cool. I like the premise, at least. Story-wise, I mean. I don't have any idea what kind of gameplay it is. Well, I'm assuming beat-em-up?
Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Majikn on 24 July 2009, 04:04:32 Batmanly.
You do detective work, you beat people up, and you sneak around when there's a lot of people with guns around. There's plenty of gadgets that apparently you... level up? There's skillpoints and stuff. You get more experience from higher combos and perhaps, I imagine, skilled stealth takedowns and such. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Mikero on 24 July 2009, 05:07:00 The Animated Series voice actors are the only ones who should be doing the voicework for the game.
They just wanted to sex it up. Is Poison Ivy a lot different too? 'Cause basically you've got this big green almost naked woman. She almost has MORE clothes in the game. I'll look into the story of the game tomorrow and try to figure it out. I'm worried Catwoman's gonna look bad, and she's like my favourite Batman character/favourite DC chick. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: ChaosVortex on 24 July 2009, 17:22:12 Batman game looks good.
And I haven't seen any videos of Edgeworth, so that new one is very promising. I'm liking it. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: NovaMan XP on 9 September 2009, 17:21:30 New 2D Sonic game? (http://www.gamespot.com/news/6216991.html) Whaaaaa?
Has Sega finally decided to stop making crap? Or will this SOMEHOW suck just as bad? Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Johncarllos on 9 September 2009, 17:49:44 Since he debuted just under years ago, Yeah, not impressed. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: NovaMan XP on 9 September 2009, 18:13:45 ...?
It says: Since he debuted nearly two decades ago, So I don't know whatchu talkin' bout boy. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Johncarllos on 9 September 2009, 18:16:33 They obviously fixed it.
I know what I read, I even copy-pasted the text! Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: NovaMan XP on 9 September 2009, 18:17:53 They did it pretty fast then.
Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Johncarllos on 9 September 2009, 18:18:32 Within half an hour, yeah.
Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: ChaosVortex on 10 September 2009, 02:45:45 That looks pretty interesting. I just looked for the trailer on Youtube, but then I realized it's at the bottom of the article.
Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Mikero on 10 September 2009, 03:18:55 They never stopped making 2D Sonic games, they just stopped making good ones.
Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: TheRedPriest on 10 September 2009, 14:43:05 Capcom never stopped making Mega Man games, they just stopped making GOOD ones.
Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: ASR on 10 September 2009, 17:31:08 And then they made MegaMan 9 and ignored all the praise and went straight back to making bad ones.
Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Abominator on 14 September 2009, 22:00:23 Zelda I + Zelda III + PS3 + Plagiarism = http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9UvYWMSRAVo
Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: TheRedPriest on 14 September 2009, 22:19:58 OH come on. They changed it JUST enough that they can't be sued. I'd hardly call that PLAGIARISM.
Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Johncarllos on 14 September 2009, 22:30:20 That's A Link to the Past 3D.
In every way possible. Even the friggin music. EVERYTHING made me think of ALTTP. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Vinchenz Rock on 14 September 2009, 23:26:35 i might get it
Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Captain Sanoguchi on 15 September 2009, 00:01:37 "Far a long time ago.
There was a small country called the Dotnia Kingdom in the world corner. The kingdom was watched by six sages who protected six Orbs and it which I hid the power of God in, and the people lived a peaceful life. However, the peace did not continue for a long time..." ...This is worse than H.A.V.E. and Wiki... Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: NovaMan XP on 15 September 2009, 04:41:08 That honestly looked like a Zelda Lego Game.
Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: TheRedPriest on 15 September 2009, 18:36:39 Lego Zelda > Wind Waker
Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Vinchenz Rock on 15 September 2009, 19:15:40 Scribblenauts came out today if anyone's interested.
It's that game where you write in a word and then the object is created and basically you got to get this item in every level (200+) using your imagination in anyway possible. There are 22,000+ objects to write in the game, according to some DS Hackers who looked into the game's coding. Should be fun for pretty much everyone. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: ASR on 15 September 2009, 21:07:04 --this part of the post was about how I do illegal stuff and sometimes play things early!--
But yeah, it's awesome but very disappointing. A lot of objects don't work the way you want them to, and a lot of things just aren't there or are entirely useless. It's still really cool, there's just no way it could have lived up the hype. It's still the greatest PREMISE for a game I've ever heard. It's also VERY hard. Surprisingly hard, even. Long, too. Tons of replay value, almost endless. There's a level editor, but I haven't tried it yet. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Mikero on 16 September 2009, 06:00:49 Wind Waker is not a bad game.
And I like the style, it's adorable. Sure, it's not as serious looking as other games in the series but it's got great appeal and they animated it better than a lot of games are done now. The game itself had good gameplay and the story was interesting enough to carry a Zelda game. Underwater Hyrule Castle? ##### off that was awesome. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: TheRedPriest on 16 September 2009, 14:24:36 The only reason Wind Waker isn't the worst Zelda Game ever is because Major's Mask exists and Spirit Tracks hasn't come out yet. The game was awful. The style was horrible.
On a more pleasant note though, A Boy and His Blob Wii is out soon... and I shall be getting it. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: ASR on 16 September 2009, 16:41:09 Rez you are a bully is what you are!
Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Majikn on 16 September 2009, 19:16:46 The Wind Waker style is fine. I just wish they wouldn't keep re-using it.
And what's bad about Wind Waker, as you know, is the triforce #####. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Edgecrusher on 16 September 2009, 19:19:31 And the sailing. Don't forget the sailing.
The art style would have been fine would it have been something other than a Zelda game. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: TheRedPriest on 16 September 2009, 22:44:34 Just like the MMZ style would be fine would it have been for something other than a Mega Man game.
Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: ASR on 16 September 2009, 23:07:33 I think the Wind Waker style is the perfect Zelda style. Ocarina of Time always bothered me graphics-wise, and I'd have much preferred another Wind Waker-style game over Twilight Princess.
Wind Waker's style seems like the perfect evolution from A Link to the Past. I don't see a parallel to MMZ's art style in relation to older MegaMan games. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Majikn on 17 September 2009, 01:47:44 ASR, we keep GETTING more and more Wind Waker style games. It's getting ridiculous. Twilight Princess was a refreshing change.
Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: ChaosVortex on 17 September 2009, 03:08:09 That trailer made me laugh.
And I agree Edge. When I look for a 3D Zelda game, I expect something like Twilight Princess. Phantom Hourglass only passed for me because it played like the old Zelda, where it's mainly overhead, like ALttP. Now it just needs less sailing, less "go into the same dungeon 54 times", and more "Zelda". EDIT: While I'm at it, I'm agreeing with Rez, but that's redundant, because we all know that's fact, and because Rez's word is law anyway. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: MOX on 17 September 2009, 03:32:24 Windwaker still looks sexy.
Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Vinchenz Rock on 17 September 2009, 05:05:15 Wind Waker > Twilight Princess.
Fact. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: ASR on 17 September 2009, 05:12:24 Twilight Princess was actually pretty bad.
Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: TheRedPriest on 17 September 2009, 15:18:27 I haven't liked ANY of the 3D Zeldas. The last good one made was Link's Awakening on GAME BOY. Granted I've not played the two Oracle games. I've heard they were good as well.
OoT was just... not good. I couldn't get into it. My friend told me he tried to replay it once, but just couldn't hold his intrest. We've played LoZ, LttP and LA several times. I don't know what the hell they were thinking when they made Major's Mask. It's truly an example of awful game design and presentation. I will give credit where credit is due though, Rape Moon is an awesome guy. He destroys the world and doesn't afraid of anything. Shame he was stuck in such an awful game. Wind Waker isn't much better though. The style is simply horrid and does not fit Zelda at all any more than MMZ/ZX style fits Mega Man. The game was horribly unbalanced with endless #####ing sailing, lack of dungeons and the horribly thought out TRIFORCE FISHIN'. Game is an abortion of a sequel to what was at one point in time a great series. Twilight Princess at least LOOKS about like what a Zelda game should, but falls into the trap of trying to do to much and be too epic. Focus on Dungeons and puzzles. And the "force you to play as a wolf for sections of the game" was a horrible gimmick. And let's face it, those TYPE of gimmicks are becoming more and more prevailant in games today to keep things "fresh". Well they don't. They make the game stink quite badly. I just want a good game with heavy dungeon/monster slaying/key finding/map getting/puzzle solving gameplay like the series started with. Lose the fixation on "epic" story and give us a nice "glue the gameplay together" story that's simple and enjoyable to see as we plow through dungeon after dungeon. And keep it top down view for gods sake. [/rant] Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Mikero on 17 September 2009, 20:32:29 And the sailing. Don't forget the sailing. Fair. The style is interesting and I guess it doesn't fit Zelda style considering the games that bookend it on consoles, but I didn't mind it. Thinking of the non console games however that came before Wind Waker (since after Wind Waker all the handheld Zelda games seem to use that style), it doesn't fit all that bad really. The sailing is the worst part of the game, though I never gave that much a ##### and kinda liked it at first during the day time segments. And once you get the right song it's no big deal, you barely have to sail at all after that. Triforce shards were fine, just a bit boring. I still like Ocarina Of Time the best, though. Not 'cause it's that great (it's not, the hype is all nostalgia and nostalgia is entirely subjective by nature) but because I had such a good time with it and talking about with everyone. You have to remember I was like ten when this game out and we all thought it was the #####ing limit. I quite liked Oracle of Ages and what I played of Seasons (the games and boy got stolen) but they were Link's Awakening. Pretty good though and I'd play them again if I had the carts. But I love Wind Waker and I love Twilight Princess too. I unexpectedly didn't totally mind the shoe-horned in wolf parts. So I don't get how TP is "pretty bad", though I agree it isn't at all humble. Still, it was fun and that's that. There's only a few Zelda games I think are pretty bad. The Adventure Of Link, Majora's Mask, Minish Cap, for instance. If someone likes those but doesn't like the ones I think are good then we just can't talk about Zelda anymore and that's it. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: ASR on 17 September 2009, 21:00:12 Link's Awakening was my first Zelda game and I think my favorite.
Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: TheRedPriest on 17 September 2009, 21:03:07 Given how The Adventure of Link (Zelda 2) was so different from Zelda 1 and Castlevania 2 was so different from Castlevania 1 we're lucky Mega Man 2 wasn't totally different from Mega Man 1 (in the Nintendo's "big 3").
While I loved Castlevania 2 and we ALL love Mega Man 2, I just never ever cared for Zelda 2. It was truly an awful game. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: ASR on 17 September 2009, 22:09:12 I kept trying to get into it. It's... not only awkward, but very hard. It was fun at times, but overall it left a bad taste in my mouth.
Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Vinchenz Rock on 17 September 2009, 22:23:11 Zelda II had an awesome concept but it failed in performance.
I wouldn't mind another Zelda game in the same style on the DS or something because it would be loads better due to being on an updated system alone. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Edgecrusher on 18 September 2009, 06:46:01 I like Zelda II, but that really wasn't the case till I played it on the Gamecube. Dunno why.
Brutal Legend demo is available to those who pre-order from GameStop. I am no longer worried about my money going to waste. I'm pumped for next month. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Abominator on 18 September 2009, 16:28:00 Zelda II is still one of my all time favorite games, #####ting all over the first.
Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: TheRedPriest on 18 September 2009, 17:17:16 You really should just go back to the Abomonster avatar...
Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: ASR on 18 September 2009, 20:32:17 Daft Punk + Queen + DJ Hero = Alec's probably going to end up buying this game now even though I totally was trying to find excuses not to up until watching this (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BxGH7ga1wgE)
Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Captain Sanoguchi on 18 September 2009, 21:23:01 Absolutely horrific.
On their own, Queen sounds just fine. By themselves, Daft Punk is godly. But together they form an unholy cacophony which I can only assume is what they have on infinite loop in Hell. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Fatso on 18 September 2009, 22:06:32 You got your descriptions of the two groups backwards.
And it doesn't sound all that bad, although the effect is definitely subtractive rather than additive. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Johncarllos on 18 September 2009, 22:20:18 Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Captain Sanoguchi on 18 September 2009, 23:08:48 You got your descriptions of the two groups spot on. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Mikero on 19 September 2009, 04:37:18 I just never ever cared for Zelda 2. It was truly an awful game. On this issue we can be best friends. Daft Punk + Queen + DJ Hero = Alec's probably going to end up buying this game now even though I totally was trying to find excuses not to up until watching this (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BxGH7ga1wgE) ##### you. I am NOT watching that. I really want to but you're going to make me get the game and I do NOT want to do that. Although, it could turn me off 'cause I'm learning to actually DJ from friends of mine so... Nah. I'm not gonna risk it. You got your descriptions of the two groups backwards. No he didn't. I like both, I might even say I love both, but I'd rather listen to Daft Punk over Queen almost anytime. There's only so many times I can hear either in a day but I'm pretty sure I hear Bohemian Rhapsody or another of their overplayed superhits daily. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Captain Sanoguchi on 19 September 2009, 06:03:06 Although, it could turn me off 'cause I'm learning to actually DJ from friends of mine so... Great job breakin' the mold there, Mikey. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: ASR on 19 September 2009, 06:08:55 Daft Punk + Queen + DJ Hero = Alec's probably going to end up buying this game now even though I totally was trying to find excuses not to up until watching this (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BxGH7ga1wgE) Ha, I REALLY wish I didn't watch the video. Up until now, I've been able to write it off like "it's probably stupid, I don't want it." You're basically in the exact same boat I'm in, even down to the learning to DJ - except my friend's been promising me that for years and has all this equipment in his basement that he never lets me touch "because he'll show me later." Although, it could turn me off 'cause I'm learning to actually DJ from friends of mine so... Oh my GOD. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Mikero on 19 September 2009, 06:18:40 Like Sano's parents and everyone else that's ever existed, I'm choosing to ignore him.

Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Mikero on 19 September 2009, 22:35:17 I don't even like watermelon.
Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: ASR on 19 September 2009, 22:40:58 Now who's the racist/fruitist?
Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Mikero on 19 September 2009, 22:54:23 I'm sorry, I said that incorrectly;
I don't even like to consume watermelon. We can be friends (and maybe more) though. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: ASR on 20 September 2009, 01:26:23 Some of my best friends are watermelon.
Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Mikero on 20 September 2009, 07:20:32 To be honest, I lock my door when watermelon come near my car.
Not because I'm fruitist! I just think watermelon will beg for change or food because watermelon are all poor! Also that last part of that last post was directed at you Alec. I'm giving you "the eyes" over the internet right now. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Jakey on 20 September 2009, 08:41:06 That video was freaking awesome.
Mike, just watch it. You can't deny it. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Edgecrusher on 20 September 2009, 14:27:33 I actually have to agree with Sano on this (or at least part of this), and say that while I like both bands (Queen>Daft Punk in terms of craft. I don't blame the band for being overplayed.) the fusion of the two is gross.
I want to reiterate that I like Daft Punk but, that said, I can think of so many other DJs who I'd rather see doing this game. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Mikero on 20 September 2009, 19:32:17 Honestly, I think Daft Punk is too obvious a choice for the game. There IS a ton of other electro acts I think would be more appropriate. On the flip side, it's cool Daft Punk is doing the score for TR2N, and that just seems right.
Queen is not so obvious, so it's cool. I don't blame Queen for being overplayed either, I'm just not in the mood for that these days. That video was freaking awesome. Nuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuooooooooooo oooooohhhhh! Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Captain Sanoguchi on 20 September 2009, 20:40:03 Well, here's ScrewAttack playing DJ Hero. (http://www.screwattack.com/OotB/DJ_Hero)
If you get bored while watching just skip to like the last few minutes, because it's silly. But I can safely say I'm definitely not interested in the actual game. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: ASR on 20 September 2009, 20:58:24 My favorite Queen song ("Don't Stop Me Now", and that has nothing to do with Shaun of the Dead... the fact that it was in SotD only made me love both more) doesn't get overplayed at all.
Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Captain Sanoguchi on 20 September 2009, 21:05:05 In my opinion, Don't Stop Me Now is their best song.
Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Johncarllos on 20 September 2009, 21:30:47 It is.
Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: White Shadow on 21 September 2009, 07:16:10 I actually have to agree with Sano on this (or at least part of this), and say that while I like both bands (Queen>Daft Punk in terms of craft. I don't blame the band for being overplayed.) the fusion of the two is gross. The sound gave me foot cancer. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Jakey on 21 September 2009, 20:57:31 I'm sure someone's talked about Brutal Legend already. I can't wait for that game to come out. I love the whole Battle of the Bands idea and I've watched a few videos about it and it seems like that concept was the original basis of the game, but that in production it took a backseat to the single player campaign stuff. But at least you know they've put some thought into it. Of course, anything Double Fine puts it out, I eat up anyway. And Jack Black fits like a glove in all the cutscenes I've cutseen, just like Richard Horowitz in Pschonauts. Woo!
Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Edgecrusher on 21 September 2009, 21:48:02 I hate Jack Black with the fire of one thousand suns, but having played the demo, I'm willing to forgive his previous transgressions.
The skill of Tim Schafer overpowers the suck of just about anything else. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Captain Sanoguchi on 21 September 2009, 23:19:58 The skill of Tim Schafer overpowers the suck of just about anything else. I agree whole heartedly, but I don't see the problem with Jack Black... Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Edgecrusher on 23 September 2009, 19:38:11 I find his general persona to be more irritating than amusing, and with his usually heavy handed delivery only compounds his sins.
He's like an intermediary step between Will Ferrel and Dane Cook; neither of whom I care for. Also, Brutal Legend is only perpetuating the myth that Jack Black is metal. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Mikero on 24 September 2009, 03:35:52 Not just that he's metal, but that he's SO metal.
I'm not so into him either. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Edgecrusher on 24 September 2009, 03:56:05 There's only one talented musician in Tenacious D.
Hint: It isn't Jack Black. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Johncarllos on 24 September 2009, 04:11:22 Dave Grohl!
Kyle Gass is where it's at. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: ASR on 24 September 2009, 05:13:34 Jack Black is fine - I enjoyed School of Rock, and I remember laughing with buddies at summer camp to the original Tenacious D album - but he definitely gets on my nerves sometimes. Not enough to make me dislike him or anything, but there's something there that irks me.
Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Vinchenz Rock on 27 September 2009, 00:23:33 Anyone excited for Pokemon HeartGold and SoulSilver?
Because it's everything you expect and much more... in a very awesome way. Like, there's an item in the game that will let you listen to the original GBC music instead of the DS remixes. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: ChaosVortex on 27 September 2009, 03:30:54 Even though I'm refusing to buy games to save money presently, I'm DEFINITELY going to grab this without hesitation.
Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Mikero on 27 September 2009, 18:07:22 I do want it.
But I don't want the distraction. It's the reason I don't own Scribblenauts right now (but I might cave on that). Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Speed Racer on 28 September 2009, 12:35:29 Apparently Alpha Protocol got delayed until June 2010. This makes October helluva lot more affordable.
Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: NovaMan XP on 29 September 2009, 01:57:38 Anyone excited for Pokemon HeartGold and SoulSilver? Yeah. It's very gooood. The GBC music is good, but I like the DS remixes better for the most part. The Battle theme remixes are amazing, mainly the Kanto Gym Leader theme. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Speed Racer on 1 October 2009, 03:28:10 I put down money for the Prestige edition of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2. Night-vision goggles w00t w00t.
Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Johncarllos on 1 October 2009, 03:51:52 I really want to play that game. I love the controls of COD:MW.
I hate loose/#####ty controls, I like tight controls for small movements and acceleration for larger movements. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: MOX on 1 October 2009, 05:02:42 COD4 was fun but I don't like getting killed by three bullets in the leg and then instant re-spawn to repeat the same thing. :( YES THIS IS A VALID COMPLAINT
Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Fatso on 1 October 2009, 05:51:25 CoD4 was fun but too easy. G3 one-hit kills made the game a sniping contest online (unless you were cool like me and went shotty/deag and NEVER STOPPED MOVING)
Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: NovaMan XP on 1 October 2009, 14:59:17 I played online at a friend's house once. It may have been CoD4 but I think it was World at War. The second I respawned I was sniped. Multiple times. :[
Although I think it's fun, I am absolute garbage at the game. I'm just not good at FPS's in general. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: KPL on 1 October 2009, 17:10:18 I just got Beaterator. For just 25 euro's it should be a nice thing to play around with during long trips. Also, I'm looking VERY forward to uncharted 2 and lost planet 2.
Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Mikero on 1 October 2009, 19:30:40 I'm not really into FPS games but I really liked the demo is of CoD: World At War.
Not that I've seen a lot of WWII games, but it was definitely the most immersive/realistic one I've seen. If only because the first time you play it you're just thrown in there and it's chaos all over the place. You know, like a war. Unfortunately that's completely lost the second time you replay the level. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: ASR on 1 October 2009, 21:22:11 The second time you replay something is the third time you play it!
The more you know! Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Mikero on 2 October 2009, 06:22:57 Yeah that's right.
You don't totally know what's happening the second time play it either. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Speed Racer on 2 October 2009, 18:41:13 I played online at a friend's house once. It may have been CoD4 but I think it was World at War. The second I respawned I was sniped. Multiple times. :[ That's why I don't play any of the COD games online. I've never seen a game with so many spawn campers in my life. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Fatso on 2 October 2009, 19:40:51 Search and Destroy quickly became the only gametype I really played, except for those deathmatches where I went shotty-only
Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Captain Sanoguchi on 4 October 2009, 00:41:34 I put down money for the Prestige edition of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2. Night-vision goggles w00t w00t. Are you kidding? You're actually going to get the night-vision goggles? Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: ChaosVortex on 4 October 2009, 02:12:35 I saw that. It looks like a pretty sweet bundle.
Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Captain Sanoguchi on 4 October 2009, 07:57:23 Are you guys #####ing kidding me?
Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: ASR on 4 October 2009, 08:09:08 Night.
Vision. Goggles. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Edgecrusher on 4 October 2009, 16:02:30 I hope your expectations are set pretty low.
A real pair of night vision goggles cost anywhere from $500 to $5,000. There's no way Activision loves you that much. At best this will end up being a charge-coupled device with a couple infrared LEDs. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Abominator on 4 October 2009, 22:18:30 How much is it?
A supermarket near me was selling nightvision for £99 last week. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: ChaosVortex on 5 October 2009, 03:06:00 Are you guys #####ing kidding me? No. I'm not. No, I'm no-t. It's better than that Halo helmet deal. You can actually WEAR this thing. Besides, I wish I had night vision. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: preventerWIND on 5 October 2009, 03:12:08 Pervert.
Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: ChaosVortex on 5 October 2009, 03:17:54 I only know about this thing because my friend's hyping about it on Facebook and it does look pretty good. You have three options (like Halo did). Regular game, the game in a collector's tin (with artwork), or you can get the collector's tin in this big box with artwork and such, plus the goggles.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FMSS12iY1X0 The prestige edition over here seems to be $149. EDIT: WIND, you're dumb. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Majikn on 5 October 2009, 04:00:56 Are you guys #####ing kidding me? Enough from the clown! Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: ChaosVortex on 5 October 2009, 05:06:48 Anyway, to back up what Edge was saying, I think I just read somewhere that these goggles are made from China.
But still. NIGHT VISION GOGGLES, MAN! Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Edgecrusher on 5 October 2009, 07:28:32 How do you make something from China?
Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Lunchebox on 5 October 2009, 18:54:06 Well, the make plates and tea cups and stuff from China.
I imagine this makes the goggles very fragile. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Abominator on 6 October 2009, 20:22:55 Sparkster returns!
http://www.the-magicbox.com/0910/game091005a.shtml Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Mikero on 7 October 2009, 15:23:19 I don't need to know what Sano plans to do with night vision goggles.
Anyway it would be hilarious if yes those goggles fit on that mock up of a human head, but that mock up of a human head is like 10cm tall. I hope your expectations are set pretty low. THANK you. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: ChaosVortex on 9 October 2009, 17:40:56 Well gee. Shatter my expectations for a game I'm not going to get. Thanks a lot.
Sparkster returns! Never heard of him in the first place. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Captain Sanoguchi on 9 October 2009, 22:19:10 I don't need to know what Sano plans to do with night vision goggles. Did I express that I wanted the night vision goggles? No, I've expressed that I'm disturbed by the ridiculousness of them being bundled with a video game. In other news; I pre-ordered Brutal Legend. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Mikero on 10 October 2009, 03:00:10 It was a joke. I really could not care less if I tried.
Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Johncarllos on 10 October 2009, 05:27:57 I want Brutal Legend.
Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Edgecrusher on 10 October 2009, 05:52:47 I've got Brutal Legend and Uncharted 2 sitting in a locked room directly behind me.
I can hear them mocking me. On a mildly related note, Sony changed their case design ever so slightly such that it better fits the slim model logo, as seen on Uncharted 2: (http://www.lensoftruth.com/wp-content/gallery/news_images/090809_uncharted2.jpg) This seems like a small deal, but it's seriously going to ##### with the uniformity of my collections. I've gone to great length to keep my collection free of greatest hits, players choice, and other case-type anomalies, but now it's going to be completely unavoidable if I want any new games. It's a small, stupid thing but it really, really bothers me. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: ChaosVortex on 10 October 2009, 05:57:30 If they decide to reprint games in the new cases, then there's your solution, as dumb as it is.
Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Edgecrusher on 10 October 2009, 06:02:00 Sadly, they likely won't. The only old titles that will see the new logo will be greatest hits editions, and those have all sorts of other bastardly markings on them that make them even more unacceptable.
Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Johncarllos on 10 October 2009, 06:56:13 Holy #####, someone else does that?
Every Gamecube game I ever owned had original casing. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Edgecrusher on 10 October 2009, 07:04:35 It took me forever to replace the sleeve of my copy of Tales of Symphonia, and that's working at a damn game store.
I assume you can understand my plight then. The spine PS3 logo is now ~27% longer, a different typeface, and a different color. This is going to look terrible. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: ASR on 10 October 2009, 08:11:52 I'm the same way with my DVD's. I've always hated how the Futurama box sets are all COMPLETELY different, like the first one clearly has a "Volume One" written on the side in a way that was meant for every season to follow, and they just changed the entire thing every season. Of course, they just re-released all of them in a slimmer case for like $12 each and it just really annoys me.
With DVD's I kind of had to give up the fight because most shows boxes just don't look anything alike, but when it comes to specific shows, it bugs me when the boxes aren't uniform in style. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Speed Racer on 10 October 2009, 13:48:43 It took me forever to replace the sleeve of my copy of Tales of Symphonia, and that's working at a damn game store. You work at a game store? If I'm having problems getting it on release day, any chance you could help a brother out with Dragon Age: Collector's Edition? Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Edgecrusher on 11 October 2009, 01:27:26 I won't get more special editions than I have pre-orders for, but if someone decides they don't want it once it comes, I'll see what we can do.
Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Speed Racer on 11 October 2009, 20:05:49 Thanks dude.
Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Mikero on 11 October 2009, 20:46:16 Holy #####, someone else does that? Most people here do that. I do it as much as I can but I'll let in a hit that was the greatest when I have to. Same with DVDs, where applicable. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Majikn on 13 October 2009, 22:51:31 Here's a so far visually interesting upcoming Wii game:
http://kotaku.com/5374850/epic-mickey-revealed-warren-spector-speaks Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: ASR on 13 October 2009, 23:54:58 Yeah, my friend linked me to that the other day. It looks really awesome. The plot is what's really got me over the visuals, though: Mickey is being attacked by jealous minor Disney stars who never got famous.
Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Mikero on 14 October 2009, 00:10:10 I hope Oswald The Lucky Rabbit takes his rightful seat on the Disney throne.
I need screenshots of this game. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: ASR on 14 October 2009, 00:14:08 I remember seeing a drawing of a zombie/robotic/wooden Goofy a while back, which I believe was concept art for this game and it was absolutely fantastic.
Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Mikero on 14 October 2009, 00:35:14 AnimFact: Goofy is the single hardest character to properly animate.
Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Majikn on 14 October 2009, 00:36:35 Is this out of a list of established characters?
Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Mikero on 14 October 2009, 00:43:58 I literally almost put "established characters" but I felt it would weaken my statement to qualify that, since clearly I could just invent a character right now that's impossible to animate.
But the short of is that "The Goof" was created during the rubber hose era and while it worked out to adapt other characters from that era to have actual structure once the craft had evolved, attempts at giving Goofy a full proper build actually destroyed the character. So his model sheet currently exists within bended and broken rules. Animating him can be a challenge since he's so messed up, so it's a good exercise for young animators to work with the character. Those projects were quite annoying. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Vinchenz Rock on 14 November 2009, 18:14:17 New Super Mario Bros. Wii comes out tomorrow!
According to several reviews, the game is just as good if not better than Super Mario World! Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: ASR on 14 November 2009, 18:55:39 I'm really excited for it. In fact, I spent the last two weeks replaying SMB1, 2, 3, and World intermittently in my free time. I finished my Luigi file on Galaxy yesterday afternoon (there were like 4 levels, left, though, so not really a big deal). I'm replaying NSMB today.
Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Fatso on 14 November 2009, 20:57:17 As good as the second-best Mario game ever? (Yoshi's Island can't be touched) Instant buy.
Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: ASR on 14 November 2009, 21:04:57 I looooooove Yoshi's Island but Super Mario World and SMB3 are both better.
Admittedly, though, no Mario game will ever top Yoshi's Island in terms of boss fights. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Vinchenz Rock on 14 November 2009, 23:37:25 I wouldn't compare Yoshi's Island to normal Mario platformers, the gameplay is just too different.
However, it is indeed an awesome game. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: ChaosVortex on 15 November 2009, 05:26:48 Yeah, same with Vinch. It's like a completely different game, but I love it just about as much as I love Donkey Kong Country 2.
Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Vinchenz Rock on 22 December 2009, 21:51:14 Anyone with a DSi will be able to download Capcom's Dark Void Zero (http://www.capcom-unity.com/jgonzo/blog/2009/12/21/introducing_dark_void_zero) soon for 500 NP. It was going to be a platformer to trump all platformers but then the SNES came out and it became outdated so they scrapped the project.
Looks really fun, I really like the exaggerated artwork they have for it too. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Johncarllos on 22 December 2009, 23:53:55 Awesome! MetalSlegaMan Metroid!

Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Winged Warrior on 19 January 2010, 20:38:46 Recently Pre-Ordered Golden Sun DS.
It's supposed to come out in June or something, according to the GameStop guy... However I do not have any internet references to prove it. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Fatso on 19 January 2010, 21:05:08 Achron (http://achrongame.com/) is up for preorder; preorders allow access to regularly updated alpha builds of the game. I don't have a credit card and I just finished using my dad's a ton, so I'll be waiting a little bit, but god I can't wait for this game.
Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: ChaosVortex on 20 January 2010, 18:07:57 If you have Pokemon Diamond, Pearl, or Platinum, this is for you. Starting January 30th until Valentine's Day, a "Pikachu-colored Pichu" is up for grabs.
Even further, if you plan to buy Pokemon HeartGold or SoulSilver, you can send this Pichu to the game and unlock an event. This event is ONLY accessible in this way.

Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Vinchenz Rock on 21 January 2010, 05:12:21 I'm trying out Knuckles Chaotix for the first time in my life. The music is funky, and its incredibly colourful, which freaks me out.
But I dig it. It's the classic Sonic formula with a Tag-Team kind-of thing, and without Sonic. But yeah, I like it. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: NovaMan XP on 21 January 2010, 05:18:27 I've always wanted to play that, but I never ever saw it anywhere when I was a kid.
Been playing Castle Crashers. It's alright. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Johncarllos on 21 January 2010, 05:36:27 Castle Crashers was much better when it first came out. it's kind of old hat now.
Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: MOX on 21 January 2010, 17:06:19 Okay just wanted to add one last thing about Mass Effect 2 (maybe lol) but in a review i read, it said that you do get some bonuses from the start of the game upon transfering your save, based on your paragon/renegade points, level, credits, and minerals you've collected from planets.
Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Majikn on 21 January 2010, 19:50:52 Minerals, huh? And signs of battle? I did enough to complete those quests but I definitely don't think I got ALL the minerals. I figured a lot of sidequests would carry over depending on what happened.
But credits? O Fortuna. I'm cashing in big if I get a credit bonus in ME2. I don't mind talking about Mass Effect 2 actually because I'm really psyched for it. I don't think I'll really even care what my actions influence in the end, for those who know the potential outcomes of the game. If I end up not liking what happens I can just replay it. I already beat the game and I didn't expect this but I found myself starting ANOTHER new character; this one a Renegade, and on a tougher difficulty. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: MOX on 22 January 2010, 00:41:29 You get a ridiculous amount of items to sell later on in ME1 as you do the sidequests, but yeah I have both my Paragon and Renegade saves ready for ME2. I'm also not sure what minerals did in ME1 (if they had any function besides being some pokedex fillers or something)
Even though I have a lot of games to play at the moment it's going to be hard not getting ME2 the day it comes out. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Majikn on 22 January 2010, 04:14:52 Surveying minerals was just another way to make money. I think the theoretical idea was that you were out there in dangerous territory claiming these minerals for the Human Alliance because surveying those minerals would either be too dangerous or illegal or not cost-effective enough for a non-Spectre who didn't have a ship like the Normandy under his command, and you got a chunk of profit from doing it.
Since I pre-ordered the Collector's Edition rather than the standard I may have a better chance at getting it the day of.

IT MIGHT ACTUALLY BE GOOD! Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: preventerWIND on 4 February 2010, 14:15:46 Wicked.
Too much hype though, they made it out to look like the second coming of Jesus or something. And what's with this "episode" bull? I'm being way to critical, but I'm actually pretty happy to see this. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Vinchenz Rock on 4 February 2010, 18:59:42 They're releasing a trilogy, similar to how Sonic 3 & Knuckles were kind of two separate episodes.
BUT, each game is it's own full length Sonic game, 7 Zones and 7 Emeralds in all. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Johncarllos on 4 February 2010, 19:30:05 I like this.
Posted on: February 04, 2010, 02:17:41 PM I just really really hope the controls are nice and tight. I hate remakes in 3D that have #####ty detection and stuff. Maverick Hunter X, for example. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: ChaosVortex on 4 February 2010, 20:30:44 That's a pleasant surprise.
Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: ASR on 4 February 2010, 23:45:13 I see this as Sega finally giving up.
B Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: ChaosVortex on 5 February 2010, 01:35:14 I see it as Sega looking over Capcom's shoulder.
Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: ASR on 5 February 2010, 03:33:36 There was more to my post but for some reason it is not there!
"But in a good way." It was supposed to say "But in a good way." Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: ChaosVortex on 5 February 2010, 03:43:04 Hahah. It looked like you were giving them a grade or something.
Which makes kinda sense. This is good news and will probably be a really great game, but this isn't really an original tactic. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: ASR on 5 February 2010, 04:43:48 Haha, if I had to grade it, I'd give it a D.
Because: - it's been done - it took them way too long to realize it - the 3D graphics look kind of iffy - Episodic games BUT HEY, BETTER LATE THAN NEVER. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: NovaMan XP on 5 February 2010, 06:48:57 I don't like the Episodes idea.
And to be honest, I'd rather it not be in 3D.. would much rather have high-res art instead, but I'll deal with it. But hey, anything that looks decent is fine by me. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Vinchenz Rock on 5 February 2010, 08:35:04 3D is a lot easier to do than HD sprites, and we all know Sega likes to go the easy way out.
One thing I hope the game has is a lot of water areas, but done the same was Sonic 3 did it; almost every zone had water in it but it felt natural. Every recent 2D Sonic game (Advance, Rush) had only one water area in it and you barely stayed in it. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: ChaosVortex on 5 February 2010, 18:59:23 It doesn't really look like 3D, but more like "3D sprites" so far. Kinda like what Donkey Kong Country had.
But I really can't tell yet. It's just a trailer. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Johncarllos on 5 February 2010, 19:03:44 Then there were those crappy 3D models just running around in the foreground. Those looked like crap!
Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: ChaosVortex on 5 February 2010, 19:40:41 I still assume they're 2D images, but apparently they're 3D visuals.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZOGeW4ss_BI Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Fatso on 5 February 2010, 20:10:11 It doesn't really look like 3D, but more like "3D sprites" so far. Kinda like what Donkey Kong Country had.Pre-rendering doesn't have much use any more now that home computers can render reasonably high-poly models in real time without too much difficulty. I'd say it's much more likely that they're just using full 3D models (less work). Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: DeMatador on 8 February 2010, 21:31:40 I might actually start playing the first Sonic games. This game's announcement really didn't shake me until I saw the WiiWare logo. KA-CHING.
The teaser's Sonic's running animation is weird. I dunno why, it just looks... choppy? Why did they have to change it, really? The good ol' "running so fast they look like a wheel" spinning legs looked better, IMO. OMG SONICS EYES R GREEN NOT BLAK WTF!!11! Seriously, 12 comments in the Sega Blog was all it took for that to be posted. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: NovaMan XP on 9 February 2010, 00:43:35 Apparently according to Sega Sonic's not running at full speed in the trailer.
... but why would they have him running SLOWER when they get to Sonic 4? Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: ChaosVortex on 9 February 2010, 01:19:09 Because for a couple of years, the key members of the Sonic Team have had way too many office parties. They don't know what they're doing anymore, I say.
I mean, the past few Sonic games, they've been boasting that Sonic is getting faster and faster after every title. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: DeMatador on 9 February 2010, 04:37:39 Damn straight he's not running at full speed, he's walking.
Isn't the point of a Sonic game (at least the clasic ones) speed? Why wouldn't they show Sonic running in a teaser? :| They don't really need the spinning legs, but Sonic's running animation in Brawl wasn't bad... Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Vinchenz Rock on 16 February 2010, 21:57:57 hey guys have some sonic 4 leaked video
http://www.1up.com/do/newsStory?cId=3177976 The physics are a little buggy but it is an alpha build of the game. Things to note out: -Three Acts per Zone + Boss Act -Four Zones per Episode (12 if there's 3 Episodes, which means 36 stages in all) -Classic SAAAY-GAAAH -Classic Title Screen too! -Sonic has spinny feet compared to the Genesis games (haven't seen that in awhile) -FFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUU ASTERON Mad Gear Zone confirmed to be the asshole zone of the game (like how Metropolis Zone is an asshole in Sonic 2) Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: ChaosVortex on 16 February 2010, 22:03:49 Yeah, that gameplay is a bit different.
Only four zones per episode? That's a bit short for my money... Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Johncarllos on 16 February 2010, 22:27:28 Eh. I like crisp games. When they make 2D games into 3D, the collision detection is totally balls.
Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: saldite on 17 February 2010, 02:37:57 His running looks awkward...
Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: ChaosVortex on 17 February 2010, 02:38:38 YOU look awkward.
Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: saldite on 17 February 2010, 02:42:14 oh jeez u sur got me gooYOUR FACE IS STUIP.
Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: DeMatador on 17 February 2010, 02:54:08 Well, that footage looks good for an aplha build. Except for the infamous running animation. It does look proportional to his speed, but it still does look weird. But then again, it's an alpha.
Vinchenz, you forgot to mention the Special Stage in the video. With that, counting boss stages, it makes for a total of 13 stages per game. If they are lengthy and entertaining enough, it just may be worth the 10 bucks they are going to charge (note: assuming it's around 1000 Wii Points. Don't know other money-points rates). Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: NovaMan XP on 17 February 2010, 03:10:20 #####, they took it down.
Eh. I like crisp games. When they make 2D games into 3D, the collision detection is totally balls. I agree. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: ChaosVortex on 17 February 2010, 06:11:55 You can still see it on Youtube. Unless they took that one down too.
Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: preventerWIND on 17 February 2010, 14:10:44 Not interested enough to go digging for the video. As long as they have a similar running animation, I'm happy, y'know the one, where his feet turn into some red spiral when he's going top speed.
Memoriiiiies~ Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: ChaosVortex on 24 February 2010, 18:12:00 You can barely see it, but it looks like it's there.
Posted on: 17 February 2010, 19:23:42 http://wii.ign.com/articles/107/1071620p1.html Things that caught my eye that you guys might also find interesting:
I didn't find release dates on Mario Galaxy 2 and Metroid: Other M. I may have missed it somewhere through the skimming if it exists. If not, just look elsewhere for information. And if you're curious, the VC library currently stands at 347 titles. On WiiWare, 189 titles. Altogether, more than 500 downloadable games. 127 games and applications on DSiWare. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Vinchenz Rock on 24 February 2010, 20:53:24 Super Mario Galaxy 2 comes out in late May.
Metroid: Other M comes out in late June. Two great Nintendo games within a month of each other! Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: preventerWIND on 24 February 2010, 21:35:41 I LOVE MARCH.
I GET TO SEE HENRY ROLLINS DO SPOKEN WORD, PLAY POKEMAN, PARTY, SPEND TIME WITH GIRLFRIEND, AND PLAY MEGAMAN 10 Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: NovaMan XP on 24 February 2010, 22:09:30 March 21st was a typo. It's still coming out next Monday.
Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: ASR on 24 February 2010, 22:15:07 I've been playing through a bunch of Metroid games recently and I don't know why. Just re-played Super Metroid and Metroid Prime. About to start MP2, which I've never played before. Then I might re-play MP3. So, I'm very excited for Other M now whereas a month ago I couldn't have cared less.
Mario Galaxy 2 is going to be great. But the real kicker is... NEW HANDHELD WARIOWARE? YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS SSSSSSSSSSS And thank god that March 21st thing for MegaMan 10 was a typo. When did I get back into videogames like this? Geez. It all happened so fast. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: ChaosVortex on 26 February 2010, 01:52:37 March 21st was a typo. It's still coming out next Monday. Really? Next Monday? ... huh. That was... pretty quick. This monday... I'm playing Mega Man 10? OH HECK YEAH I DIDN'T EVEN REALIZE Posted on: 25 February 2010, 01:57:51 When did I get back into videogames like this? Geez. It all happened so fast. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UPw-3e_pzqU Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: TheOnly on 26 February 2010, 19:32:50 Hello fellow MMM members, it would be nice if I can get some input with FFXIII weather I should get it for PS3 or the 360, I ask this because I go to other gamming sites and all they talk about is PS3 better than 360 or the other way around and it seems this is the only place were ppl don't go Dee Dee Dee when it comes to stuff like this-.-" .
Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Johncarllos on 26 February 2010, 19:35:17 The PS3 version will probably be only on one disc, and considering the 360 version is really just a port (from everything I've heard) and will be on 2-4 discs (only what I've heard) I'd recommend the PS3 version. It'll probably be much crisper.
Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: NovaMan XP on 26 February 2010, 20:56:13 I would say get it on the PS3 if you have it. For the reasons JC said.
Although I'd suggest not to get it at all but that's just me. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: TheOnly on 26 February 2010, 21:16:17 Am not a big fan of FF but FFXIII got my interists for some reason. Thanks ppl.
Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: ChaosVortex on 27 February 2010, 07:38:28 The words "Dee Dee" reminds me of great nostalgic memories of watching Dexter's Lab.
The words "Dee Dee Dee" reminds me why Carlos Mencia shouldn't exist. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: TheOnly on 27 February 2010, 18:58:59 Sounds like you don't find him funny.
Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: ASR on 27 February 2010, 20:11:18 It's not a matter of finding him funny. Carlos Mencia simply is NOT funny. Anything funny he has ever said in his entire life (which amounts two a total two seconds of funny) was stolen from the mouth of every "fun uncle" or crappy racist chain letter sent around the office just like everything else he says.
He doesn't have any REAL material, he isn't even actually Mexican, and his career was built by Comedy Central as a quick-fix replacement for Chappelle. He's scum. I don't like Dane Cook or Jeff Dunham, but I can sympathize with both of them. Dane Cook just succumbed to the easy comedy that attracts vacant-headed college kids to make money, and Jeff Dunham had been working for decades before he hit it big so I don't blame him for coasting along with empty and unfunny racist jokes. Carlos Mencia is just an idiot. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: ChaosVortex on 27 February 2010, 22:19:59 I've never liked Dane Cook, and I used to love Jeff Dunham until he got popular... which is about the time he was on youtube with Achmed the Dead Terrorist.
And I went through an idiotic phase where I was into Carlos Mencia. What I mean by "idiotic phase", I knew it was bad, but I pretended it was good just to keep watching to see if it got any better. Because of that, I die on the inside every time someone refers to him. Especially one of his terrible and racist jokes. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: ASR on 28 February 2010, 01:54:15 It's not your fault. It's not your fault. It's not your fault.
(http://www.zuguide.com/image/Robin-Williams-Good-Will-Hunting.2.jpg) But yeah, Dunham had been around for a VERY long time and didn't catapult to fame until he found a way to capitalize on post-9/11 terrorist fears with his Achmed character. Especially one of his terrible and racist jokes. This is funny because it implies he has jokes that don't fit that criteria. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: ChaosVortex on 28 February 2010, 04:28:28 Hey, I actually kinda liked him when he had Achmed. But seriously... his popularity with him just kills it. He has so much better material than that, and all I hear from people is, "SILENCE! I KILL YOU!"
... like, ALL THE TIME. It's ANNOYING. I can't even tell it to them back I'm so sick of it. He even had a promotional video with his fans in it blatantly going off about how great he is with Achmed. Nobody even knew about him until his skit with Achmed had so much views on Youtube. Oh, but enough of that rant. Carlos Mencia is worse anyway. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: MOX on 28 February 2010, 04:40:15 SILENCE >:(
I KILL YOUUUUUUUUUUUUU Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: ChaosVortex on 28 February 2010, 04:44:29 Oh yeah, I want to mention. The Pichu event thing is over now. Jirachi is available this time. It ends sometime in March.
With Jirachi, you unlock an exclusive route in your... Poke... Walker. ... That's stupid.

Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Vinchenz Rock on 5 March 2010, 21:50:06 The Achievement List has been posted for Sonic 4.
http://www.tssznews.com/2010/03/05/sonic-4-achievements-revealed-super-sonic-returns/ ...Some of them are quite interesting and there's one in there that'll make (and already has) a lot of people happy. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Johncarllos on 7 March 2010, 16:01:22 PORTAL 2
http://store.steampowered.com/news/3559/ http://videogamesrepublic.com/?p=14053 http://scrawlfx.com/2010/03/portal-2-gi-reveal-scanned-details Multiplayer! Full campaign! Awesome! Also: I'd rather have Half Life 3 :( Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Panda on 8 March 2010, 03:25:18 I always wondered why they went to all the trouble of creating an engine as innovative as Portal's and then wasting it on a 3 hour gameplay experience. Multiplayer will be great, especially if they get some co-op going; I don't see deathmatches working too well since it's such a puzzle-oriented gameplay experience. On the other hand, Capture the Flag (or Capture the Weighted Companion Cube) would be great. :P
Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: ASR on 8 March 2010, 05:40:08 Am I the only one who thought Portal being 3 hours long was one of the greatest things about it? It was such a breath of fresh air to have a short, concise game that explored everything it could, impressed the player thoroughly, and didn't overstay its welcome. I loved that it can be played through in such a short time to the point where that's one of the things I frequently cite as to why I love it so much.
I don't know if I'm happy with Portal 2 being "a full-fledged game." Does that mean it'll be as long as Half-Life 2? That was fine for Half-Life 2, which employed a crapload of different gameplay styles and mechanics throughout... but I think three hours of Portal gameplay is perfect and any longer will only hurt it. We'll see what they have in store for us. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: NovaMan XP on 9 April 2010, 19:40:42 New Pokemon games announced.
Pokemon Black and White... yeah. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Johncarllos on 9 April 2010, 19:51:37 wooo
Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: ASR on 9 April 2010, 21:22:58 Haha, seriously? Black and white?
That's actually really cool. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: TheOnly on 9 April 2010, 22:44:00 ........Niiice, wonder what this generation is gonna have.
Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Majikn on 10 April 2010, 08:28:11 Am I the only one who thought Portal being 3 hours long was one of the greatest things about it? It was such a breath of fresh air to have a short, concise game that explored everything it could, impressed the player thoroughly, and didn't overstay its welcome. I loved that it can be played through in such a short time to the point where that's one of the things I frequently cite as to why I love it so much. I have no idea why I would not want to see another game, even if I agreed with you that it explored all it could. It was great, and satisfying, don't get me wrong. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: ASR on 11 April 2010, 09:19:23 My roommate showed me the Game Informer article about Portal 2, and it has me COMPLETELY SOLD. It looks absolutely fantastic in every regard and I have no qualms about it at all anymore. It's not just an "extended stale version" of the original.
Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: TheOnly on 13 May 2010, 20:41:42 For those who are interested in the next generation of pokemon.
http://pokebeach.com/ Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: NovaMan XP on 13 May 2010, 21:09:41 Yeah...
I saw them yesterday, and all I have to say is... What the hell. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: TheOnly on 13 May 2010, 21:23:42 I like how they made the trianers look older this time around. But yea, a what the hell is what I said at 1st too. XD

Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Mikero on 14 May 2010, 09:05:16 I don't see how this is better or worse than the last 800 iterations of Pokemon.
I stopped after Silver and I still fell that I'm better for it. This (http://pokebeach.com/news/0510/corocoro-pokemon-black-white-starters-photo-e.jpg) one's cool though. And I have to admit, calling it "Black" and "White" actually intrigues me a bit. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: ChaosVortex on 14 May 2010, 18:46:04 Yeah, Zorua and Zoroark look really good when they were first revealed, but I'm not sure about the starters... although I'm happy to see a Sea Otter now. Why do we have a grass lizard again? We got one already, it's called Treecko.
I'm personally suspecting they're going to make an evolved form of Jynx, and then a baby form of Scyther. I wonder how bad they'll screw up Jynx like they did with Electabuzz. But I'm curious how everyone feels about the male/female trainers you get to choose from. They look better than DPPt's I think. (http://pokebeach.com/content/games/black-white/prerelease/0510/trainers.png) Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Johncarllos on 14 May 2010, 18:53:56 The dude is alright save for his wrinkly pants. Those look dumb.
The chick's hair is coming out of her hat, and her pockets are the stupidest things I've ever seen. Besides that they are decent. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: NovaMan XP on 14 May 2010, 19:48:04 Yeah, the male trainer looks alright, much better than the one in Diamond and Pearl for sure.
Female trainer's shorts look stupid. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Johncarllos on 14 May 2010, 19:50:57 She sho' got some sexy legs tho
Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: ChaosVortex on 14 May 2010, 20:20:58 She's probably 12 John... not even...
And I'm fine with all of them. Except for her pockets. It's just too strange. Although, at first glance, my first thought was, "What is Jayden Yuki doing dressed as the male trainer?" when I first saw him. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: MOX on 14 May 2010, 23:53:01 Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: TheOnly on 15 May 2010, 01:59:26 Maybe you should ask her how old she rly is. XD

Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Mikero on 16 May 2010, 23:53:22 Not only does she look like she's 11, and not only does she look like she's a drawing, but she does not have sexy legs drawing or not.

Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: NovaMan XP on 30 May 2010, 03:20:08 They look like Digimon or something.
Either way, they look even more silly than the legendaries in Diamond and Pearl. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: ChaosVortex on 31 May 2010, 01:49:35 I like the black one at least.
It confuses me that the BLACK one is in the WHITE version though, and vice versa. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Mikero on 31 May 2010, 04:49:24 What?
They always cross... At least, Ho-Oh was in Silver and Lugia was in Gold, just at different points than in their actual versions. I like the black one at least. This is where I'd say "That's what she said" if I wasn't funny. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Majikn on 31 May 2010, 05:25:53 You were channeling an alternate universe Mike who slipped up.
Wait, I got Ho-Oh in Gold. If Lugia was in Gold I don't think I got 'er first. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: TheOnly on 31 May 2010, 18:00:28 So now there are rumors running around that Zekrom might be a Dragon/Electirc type pokemon since Nakagawa Shoko, who's a hostess for Pokemon Sunday, said that she would love to voice Zekrom in a pokemon movie since her favorite type of pokemon ar electric types. Later on the day the post she put on her blog was then later removed.
Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: ChaosVortex on 31 May 2010, 19:01:08 What? No they don't. RBY, their mascots were the game's starters. Gold and Silver are a little different. The version mascots are obtained FIRST in those games. In the remakes (HeartGold and SoulSilver), the version mascot is actually added into the storyline. You cannot beat the game until you defeat or capture it. The other is just considered an "extra" I guess. Groudon was in Ruby, and Kyogre was in Sapphire. They are their own version mascots. Emerald has them both. Diamond has Dialga, and Pearl has Palkia. They are their own version mascots. Platinum has them both. They're following the same trend here, sorta. But it confuses me that you get the black one in the WHITE version (only), and vice versa. It should be the other way around. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Mikero on 5 June 2010, 00:12:39 What? Dude, it's pretty obvious I was only talking about G and S, REALLY. RB"Y" don't count at all because the covers are not legendaries. And it's well documented I don't know ish after Gold and Silver. But all that doesn't matter because it's my mistake for not writing "Don't they always cross?" instead. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: ChaosVortex on 7 June 2010, 20:09:56 I get it. I'm just saying, since GSC, the legendary (and it's specific color) was in the version for it's color. It's not the case here, thus I find it confusing.
Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Mikero on 8 June 2010, 00:17:20 I get it. I'm just saying something else, too.

LET'S CONVINCE THESE GUYS TO RELEASE IN NORTH AMERICA Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Chron on 22 October 2010, 13:44:46 The art styles are in such conflict. I mean this is a cool idea, and it's not that much of a visual disjoint.
But it is kind of funny looking. I've never played either game series so this has me going "meh". ... anybody else notice that the 3DS has nothing but ports, sequels and remakes to look forward to? I mean that's not a bad thing in my book, but you know, seems odd. Golden Sun Dark Dawn. Thankfully just DS. Must have this thing. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: TheRedPriest on 22 October 2010, 14:38:45 "nothing but"? It has a fair number of original games too if I recall the list, though a good chunk of the most notable stuff are some of the remakes. I don't think there were any ports per sey that weren't out and out remakes like Zelda or Star Fox.
Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Majikn on 22 October 2010, 22:34:37 Yeah but honestly, when I think of 3DS all I think about are the remakes, the Mario Kart sequel, the Kid Icarus sequel, the Paper Mario sequel...
Not that I mind that they're sequels, because they all interest me, but they're not "original" games either. I wonder what they'll get by releasing MegaMan for DSiWare with pop-out sprites and foreground and pop-in scenery. I wouldn't be surprised. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Abominator on 1 March 2011, 20:02:51 I played 5 3DS games at a Nintendo "seeing is believing" booth and was highly impressed.
SSFIV was exactly like it's console siblings, only with added 3D tomfoolery. Moves were nice and easy to do on the circle pad . Kid Icarus is a lot like Space Harrier, but controls were inverted which messed me up a bit but seemed great, airborne enemies really show off how DEEP the screen can go. You control with circle pad and L trigger to move and shoot, and stylus to aim... I think... Ridge Racer was exactly as you'd imagine, but the 3D looked great when in tunnels! Zelda was like returning to a favorite dream, only this time it's more luscious than ever, but the 3D wasn't all that noticeable, although I played it last so maybe it wasn't as surprising. The AR stuff I saw was really, REALLY awesome... trap doors opening on surfaces and huge enemies crawling out, flat ground bending into a canyon, having to move several feet to be "above" targets...! Fantastic. I'll buy SFIV and something else on day 1. My friend played Pro Evo Soccer and said it was great, but we all forgot to play Resident Evil! Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Johncarllos on 1 March 2011, 21:45:39 I'm jealous Abe!
Man, this makes me want a 3DS. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Abominator on 1 March 2011, 21:55:51 I always wanted one but since playing it I've got the fever for it.
Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: TheRedPriest on 1 March 2011, 22:10:11 Shame the Zelda on it is OoT, I never cared for it. Maybe we'll get a Link's Awakening remake or something.
Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Majikn on 1 March 2011, 22:41:29 This is probably the best you're gonna get for Link's Awakening (though I don't mind one bit):
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AvsJB9k9o8s Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Aresian on 2 March 2011, 02:21:10 Shame the Zelda on it is OoT, I never cared for it. Maybe we'll get a Link's Awakening remake or something. It'll happen, don't worry. I'm pretty sure Link's Awakening is well respected by most, even today. I know I do. At the very least though, the virtual console will suffice. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Chron on 2 March 2011, 04:06:42 I can see the charm to LA but the only handheld Zelda game I liked much was Minish Cap... but then that's why I have a working GBA.
And all of my GB/GBC games. For me, the 3DS still really has to prove itself with its own games. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Majikn on 2 March 2011, 05:51:22 I'm interested in getting like, all of the 1st party games without even trying them out first like certain people smarter than me have done.
But until then, maybe Res. Evil? Guess I'm not worried about the eye effect because I don't wear glasses... but then again I don't know if there are long-term side effects of playing 3D for long periods of time. I suspect there may be lawsuits in the future regarding harm for playing 3D stuff like 5 hours at a time. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: TheRedPriest on 3 March 2011, 14:41:28 I easily drop hours at a time on a good game. If it REQUIRES 3D to play and that #####s up your eyes, Nintendo made a bad move. It's wholey unreasonable to design something that requires you to play for short periods and then stop for long breaks when it runs things that make you want to play them for very long periods of time. It's also very disruptive to have to constantly stop playing. It destroys the flow of a game.
That said, I don't think it will really be a problem. I also have full faith the 3DS will be great in terms of games. Of course I ALSO thought that about the N64 coming off the SNES. Boy was I wrong! But Nintendo has yet to fail on the handheld front, so I'll give them a pass until they do. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Chron on 3 March 2011, 16:01:21 What I've heard just recently about the 3D for the 3DS is that the sweet spot for getting the effect is very small, and different for everyone. If you change the position of your head it seems like you have to move the slider to compensate for it.
To me that's bad... but then I take a look at the screenshots for the Ocarina of Time remake and they're amazing. Nothing is pre-rendered textures, it's all fairly high poly count objects. My usual opinion about OoT is that it was great once, but I never wanted to play it again... but I want to play this remake. On one hand the stereoscopic 3D is crap... on the other hand the 3D rendering is awesome for a handheld. I think it may be worth the price after a drop or two, and I'll just turn off the 3D most of the time. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Johncarllos on 3 March 2011, 16:34:12 The slider can also adjust the intensity of the 3D effect, actually. You can slide it off for any games you want to if it bothers you, and slide it back on and to it's most intense at any time.
If I get it, highest setting all the way, I've been an advocating 3D for a long time due to my ability to look at it for hours and hours without any headache or discomfort. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Majikn on 3 March 2011, 18:24:41 When have you tested that beyond movie-length, John? Do you have a 3D TV?
Still, prominent 3D crap is kind of a new thing. We don't exactly have a way to test that 20 years down the road something's gonna happen as a result of training your eyes to do this messed up thing. I'm not saying that any entertainment shouldn't be 3D. It just doesn't hurt to be cautious, is all. I care a LOT about my eyes. This isn't my criticism for the device itself, and if asked why I got it despite this I would say "It's NINTENDO, guys." I'm just saying I think I'll try to use the 3D effect not so much. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Snare on 3 March 2011, 18:52:59 You guys are amazing at over exaggerating. I mean really the worst that can happen is you go blind.
Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Johncarllos on 3 March 2011, 19:02:22 I have a friend with a fancy newfangled 3D monitor and the glasses. Played 4 hours, no problem.
Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Snare on 3 March 2011, 19:13:01 Yes but studies show that if you play 3D video games for more than 96 hours straight you might die.
So. Take that. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Chron on 3 March 2011, 19:16:22 Some people are immune to the ill effects.
I am. I can do crosseyed/divergent eyed 3D all day long... but that doesn't mean I want to hold my head in one position all day just to play a game. And yes, while the slider does change the intensity of the effect it really depends on where your head is and how close the screen is to your eyes... from what I've heard. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: TheRedPriest on 3 March 2011, 20:09:14 I've heard if your head is way up your ass it's really hard to see the 3D effect.
Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Snare on 3 March 2011, 20:14:26 Heard it smells like stank up in there.
Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Majikn on 3 March 2011, 20:31:19 I wasn't talking about the short-term side effects that we know about.
I meant more like possible long-term side effects of viewing 3D 4 or 5 hours a day for possibly more than one day per week. I don't think any person can say they've done anything like this to their eyes before 3DS. And some people play video games a lot more than I do. Why is "it doesn't hurt to be cautious" unreasonable? I didn't say, "Don't buy it because it'll make you go blind." I'm just saying, we don't really know. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Snare on 3 March 2011, 20:48:07 Majikn. Sweetpea, I know. I was 0% serious. :(
Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Majikn on 3 March 2011, 21:06:27 I wasn't speaking really at you but more at the general vibe I'm getting.
Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Alekta on 3 March 2011, 21:59:46 I think Majikn has a point. No one tests these things twenty years before they come out and how normal kids/gamers use them. While the warning always say only play for X amount of time, hardly anyone does that. It will be interesting to see any side effects to the 3d. Heck no one expected the Wii to break tvs, but low and behold sweaty hands = tossed wiimotes! Yay for wrist straps!
I mean, everything new has some effect on some number of the population for whatever reason. How many of us will/do have painful wrists/thumbs from playing too long despite the 'warning' they give? I know I do. Kids will be kids, and there is an unanswered question of long term use. Cause it is rather new technology to be used for the first time on a large scale as a handheld. I'm just glad the 3d can be turned off, to be honest. It seems nifty but personally I don't have any interest in it being a part of all my games all the time. Like the reason I was iffy about the wii was motion control seemed to be 'what every game would use'. Boy am I glad most of them actually can use the old GC controllers. I am interested in the games and the handheld itself, just not all the 3d stuff. The only games I know we'll get is Legends 3, but there are a whole heck of a lot more games to be out in the future I'm sure. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: MOX on 4 March 2011, 03:21:13 Im personally curious as to how well the 3D effect actually works. They haven't even created 30 inch 3DTVs yet as far as I know and those all would require glasses. Not to mention that for modern games on the current consoles they lower the resolution in order to run the 3D effect at a playable frame rate. (though the resolution on handhelds is smaller so thats understandable)
Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Abominator on 4 March 2011, 17:50:00 3D works brilliantly on it from what I've seen, although I do wonder how well people will use it in their games.
Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: MOX on 4 March 2011, 20:28:34 Are we going to see kids with images floating from their 3DS's in the future? lol
Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Mikero on 5 March 2011, 20:35:08 That's not how it works really, it's not a physical thing so you'd need to be directly behind the kid or with a comparable perspective to the user.
The 3DS has sort of... It's like two screens in one, so two planes, that show the same image except each shifted differently. This tricks your eyes into a 3D effect of some sort. Or at least that's how it was explained on TV. Anyhows, a guy I work with has a 3D TV and says it's awesome for gaming. CoD Black Ops seems amazing in 3D, not that I'm really interested in 3D or Call of Duty. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Fatso on 5 March 2011, 21:10:13 Although true holographic video games would be pretty cool, much cooler than any sort of real-time 3D display we're capable of right now
Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: MOX on 16 April 2011, 03:35:53 Oh OK that makes more sense. I could see 3D being cool especially first person games though I probably would only be able to play for an hour.
Posted on: 6 March 2011, 02:04:54 I think I might pre order Portal 2 PC on Amazon rather than Steam. Only thing is that I've never bought a physical copy of a Valve game before. Would it just give me a product code that I can enter in a pre-existing steam account? (so I could download Portal 2 on Steam if my disc ever dies) Since I'm a student I have one year of free Amazon Prime. Instead of paying for $44.99 on Steam I could pay $34.99 for a physical copy (good since my download speeds are slow) on Amazon AND get free release date shipping. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Majikn on 16 April 2011, 07:18:59 Barring certain information, I'd go with what's cheaper, and if I get screwed over, I'll figure out how to carve it out of the company when/if I intend to play it again later.
Or just make a backup disc. Sorry if that doesn't help, I just thought I'd point out more options. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Johncarllos on 16 April 2011, 13:05:44 It just gives you a product code, haha.
Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: ASR on 17 April 2011, 00:26:21 Definitely do Amazon. It's the same as buying it on Steam, because it'll be in your Steam library after entering the code. Plus it's cheaper, AND you get $20 Amazon credit*, plus that release-date shipping.
*Don't know if this is still going on, but it was when I pre-ordered for the XBOX360. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: MOX on 17 April 2011, 02:10:57 The $20 dollar credit thing is only for the PS3 and 360. I guess its a way for them to justify the $55 dollar price tag.
I went and placed my order on Amazon. $35 it is. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: NovaMan XP on 20 April 2011, 03:51:42 So... Sonic Generations (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tV1Osnkr5Nc).
And some more gameplay (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zmN0Z6GAfj0). Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Johncarllos on 20 April 2011, 04:38:15 Looks interesting.
Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Vinchenz Rock on 20 April 2011, 18:44:51 The game looks even better than Sonic Colors, which is a fantastic game. Much, much better than any Sonic game we've got since Adventure 2.
I have good faith in this game. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: NekoMaru on 20 April 2011, 19:28:19 Looks like sega is back on track...now it's capcoms turn.
Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: NovaMan XP on 20 April 2011, 20:06:25 I do have to say Sonic Colors was pretty good... of course, it's not as good as the Adventure games, but not bad nonetheless.
I find it funny that the Classic Sonic portions of this game I've seen so far look better than Sonic "4". Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Chron on 20 April 2011, 23:54:17 The classic Sonic portions look alright, but the modern stuff makes me cringe.
I've not liked any of the sonic games from Adventure and onwards though. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Majikn on 3 June 2011, 16:47:48 I think if I were to pick one of the newer Sonic games to get into, it would be Sonic Colors.
Did you play the DS and Wii versions? What's the difference? Also, Dark Souls: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9IbPrk-yuts Dark fantasy is the new Tolkien. (It has been for kind of a while, but I'm just saying.) Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: NovaMan XP on 4 June 2011, 04:27:04 DS version is more like Sonic Rush... I hated Sonic Rush, yet I thought Sonic Colors DS was pretty damn fun. Sonic Colors on the Wii is apparently like the Unleashed Day time stages... except not a giant piece of #####. Also Sonic doesn't say WOOO every two seconds.
Not to mention the wisp power ups are pretty fun to use. Only thing I'm not liking about Modern Sonic gameplay in Generation is how it's apparently more like Unleashed when it comes to the Boost system, which almost makes the game seem like a "Hold X/Square the hold time" thing. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: ASR on 5 June 2011, 07:17:24 DS version of Sonic Colors was terrible. I borrowed it from a friend when I was going on a trip - I was thinking "Hey, it's been damn near forever since I've played a Sonic game and the handheld ones are always fun. I liked Sonic Rush."
No. No no no. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Mikero on 6 June 2011, 22:41:50 Dark fantasy is the new Tolkien. Nah, it's not that overrated and played-out yet. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Majikn on 7 June 2011, 19:43:03 (I see your point...)
Yes, it's becoming popular, which I like because I like it more than Lord of the Rings-like stuff. I read Steven Erikson's first book and thought it was amazing. Anyway I'm especially interested in Luigi's Mansion 2 for 3DS, and of course Mario & Mario Kart 3D (which was orgasmic). Small rant: The WiiU (new Nintendo HD console) is gonna be shoving an iPad-like object into my hands when it comes out. I... don't know about that. I like the fact that it can play Wii games off of its little tablet in the centre of the controller, and I like some of the ideas, but I don't know that it's ergonomic. I prefer to play my HD games with a standard controller, and I don't care much about graphics when I play my Nintendo titles. That's how it's been. Nintendo doesn't NEED to be HD because that's why I have a PS3, and I just don't know if I want to be holding that tablet thing for long periods of time. The Zelda HD thing seemed like probably just a graphical demonstration with Skyward Sword models all detailed and textured. It probably has no bearing on what's coming to the WiiU anytime soon. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Slugkid on 7 June 2011, 23:44:59 I'm pretty sure you can use wiimotes to use the WiiU, from what I gathered from the videos. It seems it's just an extra interface for scopes and information and HUDs and whatnot. It looked pretty sweet.
The name sucks, though. It really does. If they wanted to keep Wii in it, they could have gone for "Super Wii", hah. Even that is better than WiiU Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: MOX on 8 June 2011, 02:31:29 weeyoo

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=szk2xYIVKrQ&t=75s ^ First thing I thought of when I heard WiiU Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: MOX on 8 June 2011, 07:42:56 Funny name aside, If I was a game developer I'd probably have a lot of fun figuring out what to do with the new controller. They probably make some neat alternate reality gimmick stuff like with the 3DS.
Though to be honest maybe cus I'm not a game developer I can only think of gimmicky implementations of the controller rather than actual new gameplay mechanics. It'd might be neat where an NPC hands you an item in first person and you see it show up on the controller like it got into your hand, lol. Not sure about having the buttons below the right analog stick rather than above like with the Dualshock and practically every other controller had dual analog sticks. That controller does not look very ergonomic; the DS lite was already painful for my hands with those sharp edges as opposed to the rounded fat DS.

Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Mikero on 8 June 2011, 22:50:35 Super Wii is a really good name, actually. Which means they won't use it...
I'm wondering why Majikn's example used Lunche (just 'cause he's never here anymore). (I see your point...) Disclaimer: I like dark fantasy enough, I'm just not a Tolkien dude I guess. Also that trailer did look good, in spite of my complete apathy towards Demon Souls. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Majikn on 9 June 2011, 18:31:16 Lunche was the first name to enter my head, and picturing him holding one of those things seemed absolutely silly.
I agree that Tolkien, and Tolkien-LIKE stuff are usually overrated. I also saw Skyrim gameplay! I wonder if the dragons actually mess up the landscape, like, if you see burned up trees and scars on the ground where you fought them. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ic6dKnv3WdU Anyway I'm really impressed. The Luigi's Mansion 2 trailer is pretty much what you'd expect. I was quite happy about the announce but don't expect anything really new coming from that game yet. Which is fine. Super Mario 3D and Mario Kart 3DS also made me happy, though. I'll just leave these here. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SYTcm5oH20M http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2G0Q58-C0ME Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: NovaMan XP on 22 June 2011, 23:35:55 Sonic Generations demo out tomorrow for 360/PS3!

"Sorry we couldn't put Strider and Ghost Rider in MvC3 cuz hurrdurr" Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Mikero on 8 November 2011, 23:38:33 I'm actually more excited about Dr. Strange, even though I don't own that game.
Posted on: 21 July 2011, 17:42:42 I'm so #####ing pumped for GTA V right now. I didn't dig on IV so much, but now I might end up playing it just because. Why? Because GTA V seems to be back in San Andreas, which was one of my favourite games of all time. Sounds like it's only going to be Los Santos, and nothing in San Fierro or other cities and counties but at least Los Santos will be much bigger. The green V in the logo makes me think we're gonna have some Grove Street Families business going on too, so I'm hoping for some cameos at least. The first GTA V trailer has completely overshadowed my excitement for Saints Row The Third coming soon. I've been chasing the high of San Andreas in sandbox games for years and nothing's really ever come close except Saints Row 2, but it had a lacking story. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Xero on 9 November 2011, 00:35:06 San Andreas IMO is the best GTA to date. If this brings back everything about San Andreas and expands upon it, then this one my trump it.
Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: NovaMan XP on 9 November 2011, 00:47:11 GTA V looks sweet.
To be honest, when I first saw the trailer and saw the beach I thought it was Vice City. Maybe I'll go and finally finish San Andreas. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Johncarllos on 9 November 2011, 16:17:19 I can't friggin wait for GTA V. Should awesome.
Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: MOX on 10 November 2011, 01:45:25 I've played GTA games before but the only one I've really finished was GTA IV (since thats the only one I actually own). I thought it was pretty fun, but that a lot of the game mechanics were clunky and clumsy (like the useless cover system and the character movement) and the checkpoint system.
However I have an honest question: GTA V trailer looks cool and I think the setting is cool, but what exactly makes it look any better besides a new setting? Was the bleak/realistic setting w/ the eastern European gangsters and all what made GTA IV worse than the previous GTA games? Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: NovaMan XP on 10 November 2011, 04:15:09 Some of the things you see in the trailer seem to show that they're bringing back a lot of the things that were absent in IV.
Though I guess the setting also helps too. Title: Re: Upcoming Games Topic Post by: Mikero on 11 November 2011, 01:08:00 San Andreas IMO is the best GTA to date. If this brings back everything about San Andreas and expands upon it, then this one my trump it. Agreed. But let's not get ahead of ourselves, they've stated that this game is just gonna be Los Santos and outskirts. BUT, if they do Los Santos to the level of detail they did for Liberty City in GTAIV, that will be insane. I'll miss cross country, but... Yeah. I've played GTA games before but the only one I've really finished was GTA IV (since thats the only one I actually own). I thought it was pretty fun, but that a lot of the game mechanics were clunky and clumsy (like the useless cover system and the character movement) and the checkpoint system. It's a combination of things. Setting; This represents a return to what many people consider either the best or second best (to Vice City) GTA game of all time. Personally, I've been hoping for a GTA game to harken back to those days for years, I thought the way San Andreas played was much more immersive than the games before it. It was much more expansive than the other games and that made it diverse and interesting. San Andreas holds up to this DAY as a ton of fun; Vice City is good but the controls were much tighter and better in San Andreas so VC feels a bit slow and clunky these days while SA plays fantastically. San Andreas also just had stuff that was FUN to do, whether related to the plot or not, and I've heard complaints that GTA IV didn't really have that. Elements; What Nova said about stuff missing from GTA IV. I'm not alone on this but GTA IV doesn't feel like any GTA game that came before it. The stuff you mentioned; Lousy cover and movement, are some of the main things that really made GTA IV feel out of place. I'm not saying they should keep them all the same but GTA IV went for realism where the GTA series had always been a hyperbolic take on the criminal underworld. GTA IV clunks down the format, and from what I played of it I just wasn't having FUN anymore. Luckily, I've found the Saints Row series gets pretty close to the GTA SA feeling. I wouldn't say it was the grey east coast atmosphere of GTA IV, as we had that in any GTA game set in Liberty City, particularly GTA III. And there's just the nostalgia factor of returning, years later in literal release dates and decades later in terms of timeline, to a place we had so much fun in... And potentially returning to it with a character we had fun with elsewhere (a lot of speculation that the main character is Vice City's protagonist, Tommy Vercetti). But more than that... It just looks like mad fun! So basically what it boils down to is people are excited about GTA V because it seems to have the potential to return to what we loved about GTA in the first place, but with new leaps in technology and form. Conventional added with new, it's at least going to be really interesting. I am very excited about GTA V, and I am very excited about Saints Row: The Third--I only realized the other day that it comes out this tuesday, and is getting insanely good reviews!

Title: Re: Upcomming Gammes Toppic Post by: Majikn on 17 April 2013, 20:32:41 New game, based on A Link to the Past.
Check here at 35:30 or so: http://www.nintendo.com/nintendo-direct/archive/04-17-2013/ That along with the announcement of a new Yoshi's Island for 3DS is pretty exciting, though I'm truly hoping that both titles will offer enough fresh content so as to be worthy of being entirely new games. There were other games shown in the video as well. The two I mentioned are the ones that interested me most (that haven't already been seen/visually displayed). Earthbound for virtual console on North America/Europe might be enticing to some of you, I imagine. But seriously, ever since Miyamoto mentioned that he wanted to do something like A Link to the Past for 3DS Zelda, I had my hopes high as hell that it would be a reality. Now there's only the matter of it being actually good and fresh. Title: Re: Upcomming Gammes Toppic Post by: NovaMan XP on 18 April 2013, 03:31:06 my 3ds is happy
Also, I'm somewhat surprised about EarthBound. Too bad I don't want to burn money on a Wii U anytime soon. Especially not for a Virtual Console release. Title: Re: Upcomming Gammes Toppic Post by: Mikero on 26 April 2013, 02:47:07 Can we talk about how #####ing great Shovel Knight looks for a second?
I've been fairly bored by what's new right now, safe a few games. So I've been on an old school kick, 'cause I'm just really about fundamentals right now over all this so-called storytelling. This game looks like it'll hit that spot and still be compeltely fresh. I might hold off and get the 3DS version (and a 3DS), just 'cause I want that real-feel. Honestly I'm not even sure if it still counts as upcoming, since the Kickstarter is finished, but I watched a Game Grumps of it (they got an early edition) and it's just goddamn sweet.

edit: also the soundtrack is so goddamn awesome Title: Re: Upcomming Gammes Toppic Post by: Majikn on 26 April 2013, 21:39:42 I'm a fan of Starbound. It seems like a perfect progression from Terraria. It'd be nice to chill out and play it with some other people.
I'm also liking that Shovel Knight game, but I haven't really been hyping it up. I expect it'll be good, and I'll probably play it when it happens, and I'm expecting it'll generate enough of a buzz when it comes out that I don't even have to pay attention. When people mention it to me, I'm like "Yeah, it looks pretty good," and I leave it at that. It's quite nice that developers like those have begun to fill a void left by this strange movement we've seen in modern gaming where kids who seem to hardly know what a book is are being impressed by crappily-written stories with powerful graphics. But given that I haven't been buying/playing such games, perhaps I'm not giving them enough credit. All I know is I don't want to idly press a button to watch a story when I can idly flip a page and read a story, and I can't imagine many stories to be all that powerful when the pacing is construed to an unbelievable degree in order for it to not be boring from a gameplay standpoint. Apparently the new Tomb Raider did a good job, though? But why play it when I can just watch it on YouTube? Oh well. I haven't heard Starbound's soundtrack but I was listening to it as I typed. Dang. Yeah, what I'm hearing so far is definitely some vegetable worthy stuff. Title: Re: Upcomming Gammes Toppic Post by: Mikero on 1 May 2013, 05:41:56 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=77elof_AZbk Game Grumps also did a video on it. My laptop nearly drowned.

Also, no physical release... which is really lame. Still buying it anyway though... Title: Re: Upcomming Gammes Toppic Post by: Speed Racer on 16 May 2013, 15:35:07 Ah. So that's what had Rez in a tizzy the other day.
Title: Re: Upcomming Gammes Toppic Post by: TheRedPriest on 16 May 2013, 20:55:41 Indeed.
I'm mostly ok with not getting to play AA5 now, though. It's a never ending stream of bull##### from Capcom on why they're doing it like that. But whatever. I highly encourage everyone to NOT BUY that game. If it kills the series in the West, so be it. If Capcom can't differentiate between poor sales being because no one likes it and the enormous negative backlash on the digital only release, they have no business making or selling games. Anyway, I posted all this much deeper detail over on the Capcom Unity forums. Capcom is truely one of the WORST publishers in gaming right now, up there with EA and Activision. It's a shame they have so many of my fav. IPs. It's too bad if a game doesn't make CoD size profits they have no interest in messing with it. Title: Re: Upcomming Gammes Toppic Post by: Majikn on 18 May 2013, 11:59:46 The announcement that New Super Luigi U would be available not just as DLC but with a unique physical box art and game copy for a discounted price piqued my interest earlier.
[spoiler](http://oyster.ignimgs.com/wordpress/stg.ign.com/2013/05/Luigi-610x872.jpg)[/spoiler] I was pretty dead set on NOT getting NSMBU, expecting it to be more of the same stuff I'd been seeing from the NSMB series over and over, this one looks to be more challenging and for the older players, so the fact that I don't have to buy the original game to play it is pretty awesome for me. Earlier video for reference: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IpwRmtncaLA Most recent: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fhxk7HzgBcY Title: Re: Upcomming Gammes Toppic Post by: Abominator on 25 May 2013, 17:52:44 I'd say NSMBU is by far the best of the NSMB games, even though it is samey, all the hidden stuff makes it work on multiple levels.
I don't know if I'll buy the box version of Luigi U or not, I probably should to support the greaseman's big anniversary. Title: Re: Upcomming Gammes Toppic Post by: TheOnly on 8 October 2013, 17:56:08 Did not feel like making a topic but it's an upcoming game. Take it with a small grain of salt.

Great. I see that the first picture is meant to be some Wily themed stage. I'm always surprised how many people make images like that instead of doing actual work. Title: Re: Upcomming Gammes Toppic Post by: TheOnly on 29 October 2013, 20:04:22 They say it images from from ''SSB4'' , but later on it was also said that it could be a SSBB modification as well, similar to "Project M".

Title: Re: Upcomming Gammes Toppic Post by: Majikn on 2 November 2013, 09:06:07 I'm hopelessly excited for this:
The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds - Choose Your Path Trailer (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yrsdHvEASG4) And there's now a demo for this: Mega Man 2.5D Beta launch trailer (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rNVrRyhoPjs) Title: Re: Upcomming Gammes Toppic Post by: NovaMan XP on 8 May 2014, 20:33:02 Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jxkaSldaHdo), despite what the trailer says these ARE remakes of R/S/E.
Even though the 2nd gen was my favorite, I still have a lot of good memories of Ruby and Sapphire so I'm pretty excited for this. And it's coming out pretty soon too... Title: Re: Upcomming Gammes Toppic Post by: TheRedPriest on 5 June 2014, 15:08:18 Weren't Sapphire and Ruby just remakes of Red and Blue to begin with? Not that I care, but even I know gen 1 pokemon were the best designed.
Title: Re: Upcomming Gammes Toppic Post by: Lunchebox on 21 June 2014, 23:02:04 You're thinking of Fire Red and Leaf Green, old man.
Title: Re: Upcomming Gammes Toppic Post by: TheRedPriest on 23 June 2014, 20:08:10 I don't think. EVER.
But I guess they're moving back generation by generation on the remakes. I guess it won't be too long before they get to the gen 1 remakes. Or a remake of the remake. Whatever. Title: Re: Upcomming Gammes Toppic Post by: Majikn on 24 June 2014, 11:40:31 Fire Red and Leaf Green were the first remakes, then Heartgold and Soulsilver.
Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire are the third remakes, and they're based on the third generation. Shovel Knight is out in a couple of days. I'd say I'm excited but I probably won't buy it right away. I definitely plan to, though. Gunman Clive 2 and Azure Striker don't have exact release dates but I look forward to those as well. I counted all of the games I most likely eventually want to buy and play and the amount, including games that have already been released, is 36. I doubt anyone wants to see that entire list. 7 of those are virtual console titles I anticipate. For example I lack definitive versions of MMX2 and MMX3 since Capcom's X collection is utter garbage. The former is already out. The latter, announced and coming soon. For Wii U that is. Of those that stood out at E3, there was of course that brief Zelda teaser. Though we didn't SEE much, Aonuma is saying all the right things to sell me on that game. It looks like it could be a true throwback to, like, what Zelda used to be in the 8 bit open world before graphical transitioning got in the way. Bloodborne, our new spiritual successor to Dark Souls, is also coming to PS4. I never adequately conveyed what I love about Dark Souls, but I actually felt that Dark Souls 2 was a disappointment to the series. Bloodborne rebrands and changes the style of the gameplay, but not so much that it isn't recognisable by the leaked footage. It's designed to be different in that it's supposed to have more fast-paced action than careful movement. This is enough for me to make the concept inviting again, and if there's a Dark Souls 3 I think I might actually skip it entirely for this instead. The happiest thing about Mario Maker, for me, is the nostalgia. I played Mario Paint for hours as a kid. Seeing references to that on this touchscreen-based level creation game really takes me back. I think Nintendo's biggest reveal was Splatoon, an online third person squad shooter game. Does anyone disagree? It looks like the perfect game to satisfy a lot of core Nintendo fans who wanted a new IP. I know I'd look forward to playing it with any who were interested. What else, what else... The only new PS4 exclusive game that really got my attention was a game called No Man's Sky. It looks like what Starbound is attempting to do (an open expansive exploration based 2D game with procedurally generated planets and characters and monsters), only in a full atmospheric 3D environment. Imagine if Spore wasn't a #####stain, basically. (EDIT: Ignore that comment. Don't taint your opinion with my terrible comparison. Just watch this video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nLtmEjqzg7M).) I have really high hopes for that game. Title: Re: Upcomming Gammes Toppic Post by: Fatso on 24 June 2014, 19:42:58 I booted up the first pre-alpha build of Star Citizen the other day and remain cautiously optimistic. My guess is still that I'm going to be at a permanent handicap for failing to give enough money at the start, though.
Other than that, I'm mostly looking forward to the new Smash Bros and Zelda. Have not seen a lot about Splatoon, but the idea seems fun and if Nintendo can pull it off with their signature flair I could imagine spending many hours with it... except that I hate playing F/TPS with anything but mouse and keyboard. So far I still don't see any reason to get a PS4 or Xbone. If one of them develops a significant, worthwhile game library that isn't available for my monster desktop PC I guess I might get it a couple years down the line. Title: Re: Upcomming Gammes Toppic Post by: Mikero on 10 July 2014, 23:24:42 All about No Man's Sky and Gunman Clive 2 right now.
As well as the given Smash Bros. and Zelda hype. Title: Re: Upcomming Gammes Toppic Post by: TheRedPriest on 17 July 2014, 14:29:33 All about No Man's Sky and Gunman Clive 2 right now. ... Gunman Clive got a sequel? Title: Re: Upcomming Gammes Toppic Post by: Mikero on 5 August 2014, 01:12:41 Yep, the first I saw of it was within a bunch of quick shots of new stuff coming to 3DS in the Nintendo E3 stream.

I'm expecting it will be but it affects my decision because I might get a WiiU for Smash. Title: Re: Upcomming Gammes Toppic Post by: TheRedPriest on 15 August 2014, 15:48:00 I might check it out. The first game was pretty rough in a lot of places.
Title: Re: Upcomming Gammes Toppic Post by: NovaMan XP on 16 August 2014, 03:06:53 I played the 3DS version of Smash, but only got to play one match and it was as Mega Man so I was way too hyped up playing it... but it seemed to play just fine if I remember right.
I think it's worth it. A portable Smash Bros. game is pretty neat and it comes out earlier than the Wii U version, so that's a plus. Title: Re: Upcomming Gammes Toppic Post by: Vinchenz Rock on 22 August 2014, 16:01:13 The game controls beautifully on 3DS. Its gonna be pretty great.
Title: Re: Upcomming Gammes Toppic Post by: Mikero on 27 August 2014, 00:52:46 Sounds good.
So followup question to those that played it that day, does this "leaked character select screen" look anything like the one from that day? Title: Re: Upcomming Gammes Toppic Post by: Vinchenz Rock on 31 August 2014, 04:36:16 It was very similar, the biggest difference was that the character names didn't show up.
