I think Catherine getting a US release is as safe a bet as anyone can make.

I hope you're right. And I hope you can play in Japanese with English subtitles.

I played the opening of the PS3 demo tonight; the difference in the CG cutscenes versus the CG-enhanced cel-shaded portions is a little strong.

It's free for everyone to watch and they cover Bionic Commando Rearmed 2 in the beginning. The more I see of this game the less I'm interested.

so now that the PSP Go is hacked and Tactics Ogre is coming out soon,

my question is, should i get a PSP-3000 or a PSP Go? Right now there are some good deals on CL for the latter. everything looks great about the Go except the awkward analog placement. how much of a problem is that?

Bebpo · « **Reply #4084 on:** January 29, 2011, 07:01:50 PM »

PSP Go has a slightly better screen, but it's small. Smaller screen, less handspace for controls. I tried it once and it was just too small for me. I like my 3000.

I'm not sure if anything can save Metroid at this point. The low initial sales of Other M imply that there was a lack of interest upon release, not just because the game was terribad. Now maybe, if they figured out a way to preserve the core metroid tenets without discouraging newcomers with the obtuseness the series usually carries, they could make it work. Prime 1 sold as well as it did due to a curiousity among new players but you can see that subsequent versions never hit the same mark in sales. I see these as folks who probably got frustrated and therefore ditched the franchise. I also think they should seriously consider some form of multiplayer at this point. Nintendo's co-op/multiplayer games are among the most lucrative for them, and it could draw in folks who normally wouldn't pay much mind to a labyrinth shooter adventure thing. I think it would have been smart for Retro to give their engine to NST and have them develop a companion multiplayer experience for Corruption. Hunters multiplayer had many interesting ideas even if it wasn't the best realised experience.

How did the Prime games do?
How did the GBA games do?

If either did well, they should just do more of that. Though personally I'd prefer more like the GBA ones. Prime games are not bad by any means, but they aren't amazing either.

Bebpo · « **Reply #4091 on:** January 29, 2011, 09:58:40 PM »

Does Nintendo invest heavily in any game they produce?

After playing stuff like Another Code R, Xenoblade and Last Story I can't help but feel Nintendo's budgets for big name titles are about half of what even PS2 game budgets were. Nintendo strikes me as an extremely conservative publisher. Even stuff like the Fire Emblem GC/Wii games aren't exactly high budget affairs. Mario & Zelda seem like the only games that get real $$$. And probably Smash Bros too.

cool breeze · « **Reply #4092 on:** January 29, 2011, 09:58:48 PM »

Ideally they'd make Metroid Pinball 2 for the 3DS

More likely they'll make Metroid Prime Hunters 2 :'(

EmCeeGrammar · « **Reply #4093 on:** January 29, 2011, 10:07:54 PM »

All things being hypothetical, I think the Metroid Fusion/Zero Mission team could pull off something super close to Super Metroid if Sakomoto stayed far far away from the project. Just dump Warioware wii2/rhythm tengoku wii2 in his lap, keep him busy, and don't tell him someone in the building is righting his wrongs.

Got pretty far in Last Story on my day off yesterday and this evening. If I wasn't playing in 2 hour timeslots during the week, I'd probably finish it tomorrow. But as is will probably have it done by the end of the week.

Looks like the game is about 20 hours for the main story with about 5-10 hours of optional stuff. I'm ~13 hours now and 80-90% done. Game is short because the story is short/small-scope and the world is tiny (1 town/island), but also because it's paced like an action game ala, ME2/Gears where you run run run and fight while you're doing it and watch cutscenes. It feels like you're playing a Michael Bay movie (and the story is just as dumb).

Definitely doesn't seem like the rpg-savior ff-killer that nfans want it to be. But it seems like a solid experimental rpg. Like RoF but a step below. But Wii still has Xenoblade so nfans can hold that up high (assuming it ever comes out in English).

I really hope Sakaguchi doesn't retire though. The genre is starved enough, and anyone trying to innovate is needed in the industry right now. Plus you can't discount that Sakaguchi charm

magus · « **Reply #4100 on:** January 31, 2011, 05:05:44 AM »

I hate how Brutal Legend 2 was cancelled.

How do ya mean? That it was canceled at all, or how it never sold so there is no way to rationalize another major title?

One of the things I like about the current smaller titles DoubleFine is working on is that, well, THEY DON'T TAKE FIVE YEARS TO COME OUT. Last gen we got the very darling but late and somewhat lost-dutchman-like Psychonauts. This generation, it felt like we were only going to see Brütal Legend, and maybe get a sequel on the Xbox 720 or PS4. Instead, we're getting a couple friendly titles to tide us over while they work on something else... and maybe it won't take 5 years to come out.

I would have liked more Brütal DLC than there is, but that's also got to be hard to rationalize. Just the cost to get it through QA is not going to be covered by the potential number of buyers... $:-\$

I doubt Dark Souls will end up anything like a Bethesda game. King's Field was open world and it was fucking awesome. Opening Demon's Souls up is a return to form, really.

Quote from: duckroll

From the way the director says it, it sounds like it will only be harder for a certain set of players though. What he said is that their approach to difficulty is the same as Demon's Souls, and that he wants players to feel a sense of accomplishment when they finally overcome something which they previously felt was really hard. But he says that to truly achieve that aim, there are now no options or choices that will specifically make the game less challenging. So the game is harder than Demon's Souls.

My interpretation here is that what he is indirectly referring too would be the various cheese tactics for certain bosses in the original game, as well as stuff like playing as Royal and using Soul Arrow to make the initial parts of the game much easier. By removing these options and forcing players to more carefully consider how they can overcome the odds with skill and preparation instead of just picking an easier play style, the overall game will probably be seen as harder.

I should have never doubted From.

Gaf is going back into fanboy hivemind again. Between the Nintendo fans going crazy in 3DS threads and becoming incredibly desperate in their attempt to make every remaining Wii game the "BEST GAME EVER" & Sony fans going nuts in denial at the Sony BS machine behind the PSP2 "demos" and Sony 2011 lineup...I feel like Xbox fans are the only sane ones left at the moment. Then again I don't read Kinect threads so maybe they are insane over there as well.

Like in the Resistance 3 thread, a few of us try to give some constructive criticism about the hud and the response is a flood of fanboys who strike down any criticism with personal attacks and claims that the footage is PERFECT and there cannot be a single flaw. Same bunch of people saying the same thing in The Last Story thread. It's becoming gamefaqs over there all over again. New gen shifts always bring out the worst in gaming forums that aren't EB. In the middle of the generation, the winners/losers are decided and everyone stops caring about totting the company line. Even Wollan had been tolerable over the previous year or so.

I kinda like that, to be honest. It's better than everyone pretending to be neutral and incredibly transparent in doing so. Ideally the people wouldn't be so dumb, but I admire the honest, as crass as it might be.

anyway, does anyone know a site that lets you download high quality trailers and stuff? gamersyde doesn't seem to have direct downloads anymore. Gametrailers is pretty bad quality and the other major sights make you pay.
