the time is *never* right for Spawn. he's been expired milk from the second he crawled out of macfarlane's stinking asshole.

This is correct-thinking. Any other thinking is wrong-thinking. Spawn is a cultural blip, aside from the inexplicable number of toys.

What is the connection between Arkham City and the Zelda series?

I'm seeing posts on GAF's gaming side along the lines of "Arkham City is the best Zelda game", and I'm kind of confused.

Because GAF people are idiots.

The latest thing is to call games that feature semi open worlds where you then go into more contained levels Zelda-like. They said the same about Rage. It's dumb. Any game where you have a hub world and then off-shoot contained levels is now Zelda like.

If there's any connection like that, it's probably only AS related as the relationship of BACON or PANCAKES to THINGS ASSOCIATED WITH BREAKFAST.

What will be interesting is to see if it works. Can a GTA5 announcement two weeks before SR3's launch have any affect on its sales? I think if Rockstar chooses not to display a launch year in the teaser, it might. There are people out there, lots of them, who are stupid enough to think that GTA5 may be launching sometime soon. Especially with all the shiny lights and bright noises of everything else which is launching around the time of this teaser.

I think Rockstar always shows a launch teaser no more then 6 months prior to launch or something.

And LA Noire? It was announced by Rockstar in 2006, I think that first, all black-and-white trailer was about that time as well.

But this is an internal project, not Team Bondi's Flying Dutchman of a project.

I am happy if another GTA comes out this generation, no matter what.

Quote

Capcom had unexpectedly controversial news regarding Street Fighter X Tekken: a gem-based system of power-ups that change character abilities. Before a match, players can select up to five gems from five different classes. Red gems affect attack power, yellow affects defense, green affects speed, blue affects the cross gauge, and purple affects assist moves from a partner. The gems vary in their specific uses: some boost one attribute, while others enable specific moves such as auto-blocking. Whatever the effect, gems don't activate until the player meets certain requirements during the match—and those requirements vary as well.

It sounds like a fun little extra, and it certainly sets Street Fighter X Tekken apart from either of the two franchises it draws upon. The problem? Gems are reportedly not a mere extra. They're an integral part of the game, and Street Fighter head honcho Yoshinori Ono strongly suggested that gems can't be turned off. And this will play hell with those folks who take their fighting games seriously in any way. The game will apparently include many, many different gems, and the varying five-jewel combinations complicate everything in ways that fighters usually aren't complicated. Gems will also be available in packs, and only pre-orders can get a special bonus set of gems.

Capcom hasn't yet said if the gems will be paid downloads or not, but many are are worried that this will become a fighter where players essentially pay to be better instead of learning the game. It's evidently intended to make the game more accessible to casual players, but I think it misses the point. If anything, casual players (the ones who've never touched a fighter before) are put off by Street Fighter's special moves and controller motions; the learning curve in terms of overall difficulty really isn't that bad.

Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3 takes a similar route with its “Heroes vs Heralds” mode, in which players amass collections of cards featuring Capcom and Marvel characters (ranging from the Juggernaut and Mandarin to Cyberbots' Jin Saotome and Star Gladiator's June). Each card has a different effect on gameplay, and some of the more elaborate ones hide the players' life bars, grant immunity to projectiles, or enable Street Fighter III-style parrying. Capcom's promising over 100 cards in the game.

This has stirred up less fan ire, and for good reason: it's a bonus mode, available as a download not long after Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3 ships next month. It breaks the game in all sorts of ways, but in no way does it influence the central Ultiimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3 experience.

Aside from properly unveiling Iron Fist and Phoenix Wright, Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3 also showed off some new stages, and one is the game's most clever backdrop yet. It recreates the famous (in comic-book circles, anyway) cover from X-Men's Days of Future Past storyline, where a poster classified numerous X-Men as “Slain” or “Apprehended.” The in-game poster, however, has characters from Marvel vs. Capcom 2 who didn't make it into the sequel. It's an amusing touch, even if it's depressing to think of the adorable cactus-man Amingo meeting his end in some dark future. Also note that one character's mugshot isn't covered. I suppose it'd be a bit cruel to cross off Mega Man after Capcom canned two of his games.

apparently street fighter vs tekken feature power up gems a-la marvel super heroes,and if you pre-order you get a special set of gems!

and ultimate marvel vs capcom 3 is going to feature a bonus mode where you can modify your character using collectible cards (megaman and devilot are in those card) was any of this stuff know?

iconoclast · « **Reply #6994 on:** October 26, 2011, 12:34:59 PM »

Yeah, the UMvC3 dlc mode sounds pretty cool. Gem system sounds like it could kill SFxT entirely. Guess we'll have to wait and see how it all plays out.

Robo · « **Reply #6995 on:** October 26, 2011, 12:42:13 PM »

The gem system damn-near solidifies SFxT as a party fighter in its current state. It isn't at all conducive to the competitive scene. There are a few things that could be done to work around the issues (e.g. banning DLC gems altogether), but ultimately the best solution will probably be to just play a better game. They've still got a lot of time to iron it out, though.

tiesto · « **Reply #6996 on:** October 26, 2011, 03:59:32 PM »

Yeah, I was at Ono's presentation at NY Comic Con where he first revealed details of the gem system... my friend (a hardcore fighting game fan) and lots of others in the audience were questioning whether or not you will be able to turn the gems off... Kinda sucks you can't.

Robo · « **Reply #6997 on:** October 26, 2011, 04:15:59 PM »

I think Seth Killian mentioned in an interview that you can opt-out of choosing gems, but you can't turn the system off entirely. Either way, if the game was designed with the gems in mind and you need to turn them off to make it competitive, it's probably not worth it.

Smash Bros comes up a lot in the discussion due to the community-wide ban on items and most of the stages, but really, that game is so unique that turning off everything that makes it awful in order to keep it on the table is a viable option. I doubt SFxT will be worth the fuss.

Even if the gem system stays in and works out, you know as soon as someone finds the right combination of gems on the right characters in the right team, you're not gonna see anything else. There is a enormous number of possible gem/character/team combinations (talking billions here) that it's impossible for the developers to balance, and in spite of that astronomical number, someone will always discover the broken shit in no time at all. It's J.Wong's Law.

I played a monk to level 6. She's about the same as the barb, but she is more fragile and her skills are avoidance and heal based. I accessed a blind aura, heal and a quick dash. Of course I really can't judge classes since everything below inferno difficulty is practice.
