Before you get too hyped up, he also supervised the Prime trilogy.

Sounds good.  What's Feveron?

[iconoclast]

Dangun Feveron! It's a disco-themed vertical shooter. It's very fast paced, unlike most Cave games that have a lot of slowdown and such. It's one of their most under-appreciated games imo. You can try it out on MAME too. Works perfectly.

I'm most excited to play Muchi Muchi Pork though. Fuck yes.

HEY GUYS I HAVE THIS GREAT IDEA LET'S DO AN MMO!!!

And it's not even an MMO in the normal sense.

APB was an extremely terrible idea. They should have worked on other console games until MS was ready for Crackdown 2. Hopefully Ruffian will be around to knock a third game out of the park.

typing from an iphone so excuse any errors. I think apb is a great idea and concept as a game. not necessarily as an mmo however. and apparently they fucked it up just on the general execution. so they had the rough good germ of an idea that they fucked up completely.

[Bebpo]

I like the idea of Crackdown or GTA MMO if done right, but I'd never pay for it beyond an initial fee.

But then I wouldn't even pay for WoW, so maybe my opinion doesn't count on these things.

i think someone will have to prove the concept before anybody can even think of doing an mmo on the concept. the first time i played gta 4 online i thought here is a brilliant idea that isn't executed well. no one has executed on that idea yet.

[chronovore]

I keep going back to Red Dead Redemption online; it's not perfect, but its online implementation is the next evolutionary step from GTA IV's. I keep wishing they'd retrofit it into GTA IV, but am mainly anxious to see how RDR's use of the online space will influence GTA 5.

rdr is definitely the next evolutionary step and I hope gta 5 takes those advances and pushes even further. I couldn't really stick with rdr online but it was much closer to hitting the mark on that front than any other game has been for that genre.

Mame has become complicated.  I guess in the past few years a bunch of new rom dumps came out and the newer versions of mame support the more authentic, newer dumps.

If they're doing something original they'll probably get a one game grace period.

was the first one any good? (i guess not since i seems to understand these are the guys behind a boys and his blob wii which was just boring!)

[ferrarimanf355]

Hydro Thunder Hurricane is successful enough to get a DLC pack.

demi annihilated.

[chronovore]

Yeah, pretty sure they saw how successful it was a week ago, decided to capitalize on it, put some DLC together one day, wrote a title update to retrofit it for DLC usage the next day, spent a day testing, another day waiting for MS to clear it, and BINGO you have DLC coming for it! 

...or they had DLC planned from the beginning, and are launching it on schedule regardless of sell-through units.*

They also made Contra 4.

I have no idea if people bother to rip DSi games, but if they don't, guess I'm never going to try this.  I have a J-DSi.

You're such a fucking moron. That DLC was made before the game was even released. Go say hi to your sister for me.

Nope. I respect your views and hope you and your sister lead a great life together.

Can't believe I'm considering buying a DLC pack of palette swaps. A lot of them are pretty nice though...

animu Joker?

[iconoclast]

alternate color for Hazama in BlazBlue. it's actually pretty fitting since he acts a lot like the joker in the story. he's the best troll ever

[Bebpo]

I haven't play CS, but isn't Hazama just a ripoff of Gin from Bleach?

[iconoclast]

I haven't read Bleach in years but from what I know, no. The Joker is the best comparison I can come up with for him, but he's really just a troll.

[Bebpo]

I dunno.  I mean Gin is basically Joker-ish.  He's evil, cunning villain who always hides it with his no eyes and smile.  When I was playing CT, I thought the bits of Hazama I saw were straight out of Bleach.  But I didn't play a lot of CT's story mode.

[iconoclast]

Yeah the design is very similar, but I think that's where it ends. In CT Hazama is still trying to hide his true intentions and who he really is (by saying he doesn't like to fight, operating behind the scenes as the NOL intelligence captain or whatever, trying to manipulate people, etc) but in CS he is in full-on supervillain trolling mode.

This is typical Trollzama

where is the blazblue anime?  The dubbed cutscenes are highly enjoyable, but fighting the AI for it is kind annoying at times.

oh shit

Insomniac announces a new Ratchet and Clank game. Sony, shattering expectations

[iconoclast]

I thought A Crack in Time was supposed to be the final Ratchet game? Or was that just for the PS3 trilogy?

[cool breeze]

It's an online 4-player gauntlet looking game that isn't from the main studio or something.  Resistance 3 was also announced.

[MCD]

who asks for this shit.

[Purple Filth]

[youtube=560,345][/youtube]

Nope there is more actually

Has the "shows his eyes" thing when he's serious
Has the same English voice Actor
Supposedly has a color pallete with gin's hair color
Him being a different person and trolling comes more from Aizen who Gin works for.
Plus Gin was doing the "hide true intentions" stuff until the latest chapters.

Pioneering Dundee-based computer games company Realtime Worlds has gone into administration putting hundreds of jobs at risk.

The company, founded by the creator of Lemmings and Grand Theft Auto, is based at a former jute mill in the city.

It employs about 250 people and was seen as one of the biggest players in the global computer games market.

Its newest title, online role-playing game APB, launched a few weeks ago but has experienced "lacklustre" demand.

Joint administrators have been appointed and a consultation process on the future of the firm is under way.

APB was five years in development but is thought to have failed to attract sufficient numbers of subscribers following mediocre reviews.

Realtime Worlds made 60 staff redundant last week.

Paul Dounis, of administrators Begbies Traynor, said: "We are currently involved in a consultative process with the 200 staff employed in Dundee."

Administration is a UK law for Bankruptcy Protection

Tecmo Koei announced Sengoku Musou 3 [Samurai Warriors 3] will be coming to PS3 in Japan, the game is a port of the Wii version released in December 2009.

So much for Wii exclusivity.  I wonder what they are going to do with the Muramasa Castle mode (based on an old Famicom game)?
