They actually slowed sonic down quite a bit.... I'll probably check this game out. Don't tell Himuro

I saw this video. It looked decent which shocked me.

Why the fuck does Sega insist on putting that homing attack in the 2D Sonic games? Might as well let the game play itself.

Kids like it.  Kids' money is worth more to SEGA than manbaby money.

Kids don't have money, manbabies have lots of disposable income.

All this handholding.... no wonder kdis are growing up to be pussies nowadays.

I just think the homing attack has become part of Sonic's moveset.  It makes sense in the 3D games since even in a game like Mario Galaxy, it is hard to exactly land on an enemy.  It's in the 2D games because it was a big part of the 3D games.  And again like Mario, NSMBWii had the spin move out of Galaxy, and the newer 2D Mario games have other moves from the 3D ones as well.

I do think it sucks for the 2D sonic games, though, but Colors (and Unleashed) would switch between the perspectives frequently, so they can't exactly have it work one second and not the other.

[EmCeeGrammar]

Mario has been spinning since World. Although, he did have a homing attack in Galaxy that doesn't get bought up much. Difference is in Galaxy when you use a homing attack there was sufficient cooldown for it to be a punishable act if used incorrectly.

[Bebpo]

I don't think the homing attack makes the games easier, half of your deaths in modern sonic games come from the homing attack being stupid and throwing you off a cliff.

The spinning attack in world isn't like the one in Galaxy and you knew that!

Look at it this way:  they take the homing attack out, manbabies buy the game, kids buy another game instead.  they leave the homing attack in, kids buy the game, manbabies buy official sonic merchandise to yiff their frustrations out on.  which one makes more money for SEGA?  think, man.

kids buy the game, manbabies buy the official merchandise. win,win SEGA

Easily the most realistic looking thief I have seen in a game.

yeah, I played the demo earlier and was surprised.  Didn't even know what it was before.

[Beezy]

Just played the demo too. It's pretty good. Better than Darksiders.

[Bebpo]

kind of surprised at the positive reactions here.  Over at GAF they were destroying the demo.

I don't like Game Republic.  I think they make boring ass games lacking good gameplay (Genji 2, Folk Souls).  The first Genji was sorta ok because they just ripped off Onimusha.  I'll try out the demo but like Enslaved, the developers history keeps me from caring.

[MyNameIsMethodis]

I like how the first game they make that isn't PS3 exclusive is all of a sudden loved by Xbots

on gaf I said it was pretty damn good too!

What got me was when I lured a bunch of enemies towards a wall, then had the beast knock it down smashing them all. 

[Bebpo]

Anyone compared the PS3/X360 versions?  As I said in the what are you playing thread, I found the majin demo ok but the image quality on PS3 was mehhh.  Totally pixelated and dirty like a PS2 game.  I wonder if the X360 version looks clean.

[demi]

360 version looks great. Stop playing shitty consoles

[Bebpo]

fix my X360 and we'll talk

[demi]

Get a job, lawyer

[magus]

the japanese versions of solarobo and golden sun DS are both out,is any japabore here going to give them a spin?

[Bebpo]

I'm getting solarobo aka, tail concerto 2 but not as a dirty pirate   Will start playing it on saturday or monday.

[Mr. Gundam]

I just remembered that I've got 900 moonbucks in my Japanese PSN account, so I'm considering getting Malicious when I get home from work. Anyone here played it yet? The GAF thread is just gushing and hype from people who typically hype everything that's Sony-exclusive, so I'm not sure what to believe.

[Raban]

If GAF is hyping it, it sucks.

[Mr. Gundam]

And there's no demo.

Getting more PSN moonbucks isn't a problem, but I'd love some more impressions before I spend 800 yen.

It looks like Nier with nothing but boss fights and better combat. I'd get it if I had a PS3.

[Mr. Gundam]

It looks really good. What the hell, it's only money.

Download get!

Poor poor Himu, the new Suikoden title is a pachislot machine.

This news, combined with Shenmue 3 being the equivalent of a Facebook game, I'm surprised Himu hasn't suicided yet.

The final blow will be when Richard Dawkins converts to Christianity and announces that atheism is a sham.

I feel for him though.  A lot of the best franchises from the PS1/DC/PS2 days have been brushed aside and lost this gen thanks to spiraling dev costs and western gamers waking up and deciding that Japanese games suck.  Shinobi is another casualty.  I bet we'll see Shinobi pinball soon enough

[Mr. Gundam]

I played Persona, Eureka Seven and Godannar pachislot when I was in Japan this past April...

[iconoclast]

God damn I want this theme. I think those Bing microsoft points work on profiles from any region, so I guess it's time to start up a new account.

What the fuck!!!?

[Mr. Gundam]

I tried out Malicious tonight... it's actually pretty cool!

[Himu]

hahahahha

AHAHAHAHAHA

this is a lie

THIS IS A LIE

but at least it's the best looking suikoden

SUIKO 6 WITH THEM THERE GRAPHICS

Yeah, he's lost it. De-icon, ban Methodis, icon PD and send demi some cock pics

Deadly Premonition PAL is out. Is this game really good, or are you guys just being sarcastic about its quality.

[demi]

It's awesome

Holy shit

[demi]

They need to do the following changes:

- Remove the hearts
- Add Kremlings
- Add K O N G cubes (didnt see any)
- Add 1up balloons

Otherwise looks ok

[EmCeeGrammar]

Kremlings are googly eyed abortions from the Rare school of character design. Fuck that noise. All the preview coverage says the game is pretty challenging, there are 1up balloons, and there are K O N G coins.

[demi]

mmmm googly eyed abortions

[Mr. Gundam]

That IGN preview looked great, but whoever did the narration bugged the shit out of me.

my extreme weaboiness force me to do it!

[Purple Filth]

Seems Kenji Inafune (Megaman dude) has resigned from Capcom.


Oscar must be thrilled.

[magus]

isn't he making both megaman universe and megaman legend 3? that would make no sense

[Purple Filth]

Confirmed and hes leaving his own Company also.

http://www.andriasang.com/e/blog/2010/10/29/inafune_leaving_capcom/

Keiji Inafune announced today via his blog that he will be leaving his position at both Capcom and Daletto at the end of the month.

As reason for his departure from Daletto, Inafune wrote, "Work as a CEO requires speaking about your dreams and evaluating your subordinates. If you can do these two things, anyone can be CEO. I've always thought that, and I still do. However, I can no longer do these two at Daletto. I've lost the authority to evaluate my subordinates and the qualification to speak about my dreams."

As for Capcom, Inafune said that he'd reached the highest point in software development at Capcom and there are no additional steps for him to climb. "It would probably be good for me to sit gracefully in this seat and become a leading figure in the industry. However, I cannot do this. Settling down means death for a creator. As long as you are a creator, you cannot settle down."

He mentioned Akira Kurosawa, saying that the film director continued to make movies until he died. "He was a true creator who was recognized throughout the world."

"Capcom is truly a good company," continued Inafune. "I love Capcom. Probably more than anyone in the world. However, it's not always the case that your hopes are realized. Just as it was with the girlfriend I loved long ago."

"There was a chance that I could continue to be Capcom's power. I bet on that chance until the end. The means of both Capcom and myself to be happy. That was surely possible. However, now that chance is completely closed off."

Inafune also added that there probably won't be a chance for him to work with Capcom in the future. "Capcom must, from here on out, walk without Inafune. I too can not depend on Capcom."

While the precise reasons of Inafune's departure aren't clear from the blog post, it looks like he came to the decision a while back. 4gamer posted an interview with Inafune today. In the interview, Inafune tells the site that he's leaving Capcom. The interview was originally conducted at the end of September, but the site held off on posting the interview until the timing of Inafune's announcement.

[magus]

so much for those megaman legend 3 video where he says he's so excited to be able to work on such a game

[iconoclast]

Good riddance. Thanks for Dead Rising though.

[Corporal]

Huh.

I wonder what was really going on behind the scenes. That hippie shit ain't foolin no one. 

[chronovore]

Blue Castle can build a Dead Rising game with or without him at this point.

And Mikami just jumped ship... from, er, independence to ZeniMax.
