Warner Bros lucking into Mortal Kombat 9 was probably the best piece of business this gen

the award for 'lucking into the best piece of business' goes to angry birds.

Poor Sega. How come they have to die over and over again and Nintendo keeps pooping shit.

God damnit, SEGA was probably my favorite publisher this gen... Resonance of Fate, Valkyria Chronicles and the Platinum games are the best games I've played all gen.

This means no more SEGA retail games in English except Sonic, Football Manager, Aliens, and Total War. Period. What's nearly finished should get released but that's it.

That's definitely the final nail in Bayonetta 2's coffin, sadly.

I don't get the point of almost shutting down SEGA USA. Unlike NamcoBandai, Sega doesn't have a strong lineup of JAPAN-ONLY brands besides RGG & Hatsune Miku. They depend on international appeal and international sales for their titles. Downsizing their localization staff seems illogical to me.

Mr. Gundam · « **Reply #8529 on:** March 31, 2012, 01:31:09 AM »

RGG5 stuck in Japan? Fine by me, I've been importing them all for years now.

archnemesis · « **Reply #8530 on:** March 31, 2012, 02:42:45 AM »

I hope they at least allow someone else to localize the Yakuza series. It would surprise me if Atlus could make it profitable enough.

I'll wait for a price drop. Might as well wait for a few patches before jumping in. Western RPGs are usually quite buggy near launch.

Patches? For Euro-RPGs? Surely you jest, sir!

A group of researchers at Drexel University have demonstrated a method of recovering credit card details and other sensitive information from used Xbox 360s, even after they have been "reset to factory defaults." The method is straightforward and uses readily available tools. Ashley Podhradsky, one of the Drexel researchers, says, "Microsoft does a great job of protecting their proprietary information. But they don't do a great job of protecting the user's data."

So I'm thinking of getting a new Wii since my old one is no longer of this world. I dont mind playing my games on PC as I have been, but I'd like real hardware just in case. I saw some dude selling a Wii for a stupidly low price, but it's hacked, would I be able to de-hack it safely?

naff · « **Reply #8541 on:** April 01, 2012, 05:00:49 AM »

Why would you de-hack it? iirc you can just update the wii through the regular method and voila you have vanilla firmware

Momo · « **Reply #8542 on:** April 01, 2012, 08:38:26 AM »

wont that brick it somehow?

magus · « **Reply #8543 on:** April 01, 2012, 08:48:30 AM »

no,you can only brick it if something fucks up during the firmware upgrade or if you install something like wiiware games using the hack

but as quietID said,there's no reason to de-hack it,an hacked wii makes for an awesome emu-box and you don't have to cry buhbuh over nintendo not bringing this game to the us

Momo · « **Reply #8544 on:** April 01, 2012, 09:22:20 AM »

So a hacked Wii isnt like the PS3/PSP situation where you lose online play/store access?

magus · « **Reply #8545 on:** April 01, 2012, 10:20:37 AM »

you can't access the store,because accessing the store requires you to update your firmware (which would kill the hack) but sure you can play online all much you want,i racked up like so many online hours playing monster hunter 3

not being able to access the store isn't a big deal anyway because you can use the hack to play virtual console/wiiware games,not that there is anything worth playing besides megaman 9

Not entirely virgin firmware, there will always be traces of shit, but for the most part it should be vanilla.

You can access Wii store, you just need ot update the shop channel by itself - which you can do with an app.

Quote from: http://www.strategyinformer.com/pc/cannonfodder3/1810/review.html

While there have been changes, the underlying game is still the same as it was in 1993 – which is no bad thing considering the simplicity of Cannon Fodder is at the heart of its appeal.

Quote from: http://www.strategyinformer.com/pc/cannonfodder3/1810/review.html

I was expecting nothing but bad things from this title, and the first few minutes with the game did nothing to convince me otherwise, but in the end CF3 far exceeded my expectations.

apparently it's done by a new studio called neilo which was created by an ex-sega employee called tak hirai

and this was announced about an eternity ago but it's nice to see it wasn't cancelled or anything

That is a PC/360 demo. There isnt any platforms associated with it yet, nor is there even funding

Quote

This video depicts a playable PC/360 demo that Sidhe created for a modern take on the classic space combat and exploration game Elite. The game took place in the distant future where displaced humans were exploring a strange new galaxy. With heavy customisation and expansive procedural content, the game also included social cross pollination of content inspired by the likes of Spore. We also really liked the cinematic depiction of combat as seen in the reimagined Battlestar Galactica which was a big inspiration for the prototype seen here.

The game was shelved indefinitely due to a lack of funding, but has always hung out there as something we would like to revisit. Perhaps a Kickstarter campaign is in order? Reimaginings of Elite and space combat seem to be all the rage this week.

Let us know what you think, what platforms you would like to see it onand any other ideas you might have.

archnemesis · « **Reply #8570 on:** April 04, 2012, 08:14:28 AM »
