Rumors

- Bizarre making the new James Bond game

- EA Chicago was making a Guitar Hero inspired action game

- Exclusive Front Mission heading to 360

- Nintendo cancelled 1st party game because developers wanted to let players customize their Mii's

- Need for Speed will fluctuate between realistic and arcade style

- Sony making action game based on Warhammer toy line

- FF:CC Crystal Bearers "appears to be in trouble"


SF IV Info:

-Producer is Yoshinori Ono, who worked on SF Alpha, SF III, and oversaw Capcom Fighting Revolution

-Ono wants it to be the "second coming" of SF II. Wants it to feel like "homecoming" fir SF II fans.

-Online play is planned with potential for microtransactions such as new characters and stages

-The look is not really similiar to the teaser trailer. A "cartoon-shaded style that manages to evoke SF II reimagined in 3d"

- runs in 60FPS

- Gameplay sticking with 2D- Ono wants to "preserve the strategic nature of SF II"

-camera doesn't budge

- Trying to get "as many SFII characters in as possible"

- Takes place after SFII Turbo and before SF III

-Controls are traditional- "in its current early state, the game feels remarkably close to Super SFII Turbo"

- Game is moree aggressive- more about attacking than defending. Many of the SF III and Alpha gameplay systems have been scrapped.

- Producer says they haven't decided what platforms or even if there will be an arcade version. Version Shane played was running on a P.C

- Ono suggests Capcom could make a PS2 or DS version if "they deem the market suitable"

-Ono not enthusiastic about making it an exclusive- wants to get it out on as many platforms as possible

I'd hoped for better scores for Nights, but I didn't really expect it. It is Sega, after all.

Also  :lol @ EA ripping off Guitar Hero. I'm surprised it took them this long. Edit: Wait, Guitar Hero inspired action game? What's that supposed to mean?

I've decided that no matter what is said of SF4, I will not hold any sort of expectation until I get personal hands-on time.  The only thing I have to say about the EGM stuff is that "more about attacking than defend" gives me flashes of shitty Project Justice and Guilty Gear and if it eventually turns out to be anything like PJ, I'm gonna double stuff himuro's ass with my cock and a broom handle.

th' fuck? a 4.5 for assassin's creed? come the fuck ON. COME THE FUCK ON. you can hate the game and feel it is repetitive, but NEVER is it a 4.5 game.

lol at mario galaxy getting a 9.5, gaf asplode

If Guitar Hero III got a 9, 8.5, 8, then Rock Band should have gotten straight 11.5's.

The assassin's creed review score is bogus. 4.5 should be reserved for low budget licensed titles.
Title: Re: Jan '08 EGM Scores & Rumors
Post by: MCD on December 10, 2007, 05:39:23 PM
7- Michael Donahoe, 6- Andrew (skip), 4.5- Crispin

that's all i could find about the AC review in that mess of a thread.
Title: Re: Jan '08 EGM Scores & Rumors
Post by: MrAngryFace on December 10, 2007, 05:40:01 PM
Even the 6 is extremely suspect, but I could even see where a 6 could come from, but a 4.5?!
Title: Re: Jan '08 EGM Scores & Rumors
Post by: MCD on December 10, 2007, 05:44:43 PM
I'd have cared if this say, BD/LO, as in a low profile game where reviews would really hurt sales/image of the game.

but AC marketing is big, and according to Ubi, they already sold (shipped?) 1 million copies.

Crispin is just too cool for school. I bet his review tells us that this isnt how assassins really are and he should know cuz blah blah blah

They're probably ripping off Fretnice or Ragnakrokk. 2D platformers using the Guitar Hero controller to play the game.

i don't care if you find AC repetitive it is NOT a 4.5 game

It's basically SF2 ultra turbo edition.

Capcom wants money.
