The thing is I'd rather have music and art aesthetics that embrace that kind of music instead of ones that embrace "Jessie's Girl" by Rick Springfield.

Himu · « **Reply #8581 on:** April 04, 2012, 11:15:18 AM »

Well, it's called Rock Band, so that's the kinda music it'll have.

cool breeze · « **Reply #8582 on:** April 04, 2012, 11:17:40 AM »

It's Rock Band Unplugged (PSP game) for consoles. Unplugged was a good game, but couldn't compare to Frequency or Amplitude, and like Stoney said, music was part of it.

also, this looks awesome

So EA won that Consumerist "worst company" poll, and a lot of people are tweaking over some other worse corporation or bank not winning instead, because winning a facebook poll and a gold-colored poo statuette for being the worst company of the year surely would have caused any business to reflect on their practices and sparked a major turnaround benefitting consumers everywhere

So I guess niche retail Japanese games are now releasing through digital platforms in north america. Xseed announced Way of the Samurai 4 for PSN. Depending on the price I'll either just deal with it or import the Euro version.

Harmonix has fallen so far since making the Beatles game.

You're an idiot.

Harmonix are embracing their past.

No, they absolutely are fucking not. This game has nothing to do with freq or amp and looks like fucking garbage. it's like the stupid fucking hipster feggits who work there saw a screenshot of Amp and decided "DURP WE CAN MAKE THIS" but in the process missed the entire fucking point.

Fuck off Harmonix.

And fuck anyone who calls this like Freq or Amp. Mindless fucking stupid game journalists.

So we were going to get an awesome arcade style space game from Sidhe (Shatter, Gripshift), but every publisher said "EWWW SPACE, NO MONEY FOR YOU". Looks like they're either going to kickstarter it or do a Minecraft "pay for Alpha as it develops" thing.

Either way I hope they get a chance to do this. Sidhe makes really great gameplay and has nice presentation as well in their games. Would enjoy a space fighter from them.

StarWraith and Egosoft have done pretty well recently in this genre with Evochron and X, respectively.

You'd figured that when Wayforward got to make a new Double Dragon the one thing they would get right is the spritework, but this looks so very bland and slow even by Double Dragon standards. Guess I'll be sticking with Advance for my DD fix again.

in device manager it pops out as "xbox 360 wireless controller via play & charge kit"

but no i connected it via usb...

shouldn't this thing pops up in "game peripherics" too?

oh by the way,i'm on windows XP... maybe that's one of the reason?

Joe Molotov · « **Reply #8616 on:** April 06, 2012, 03:52:26 PM »

The charge and play kit doesn't work like that, all you can do with it is use it charge on your PC. To actually play with your wireless controller on a PC, you have to have a wireless PC adapter like this:

Get this bundle because most, if not all standalone receivers are not genuine. So this bundle is the safest way to get the one by MS.

Or just get a wired USB X360 controller.

this has been announced a while ago but this is the first time i have seen the trailer so here it is,it's a game for vita so maybe it should go in the vita thread?

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

I've wanted to see Rhythm+Fighting so Music+Strategy is a step in that direction.

However, Tokyo Jungle is about as wacky as Chou-Aniki, and I don't mean it as a compliment.

Found this on Reddit, a quick-like look into the compression format used in the script files used in the Tales games.

http://blog.lse.epita.fr/articles/8-static-analysis-of-an-unknown-compression-format.html

News to me: Usage of a full blown VM to facilitate cutscenes etc. ... always thought they'd just get one of the billion off the shelf scripting engines out there.

Neat.

Some asshole just had to coax me into listening to the Terranigma OST. So good.

I is now of playings Terranigma kthxbye

No ROM tomfoolery. I own the cartridge. One of the extremely rare situations where being a filthy EU swine actually has some advantages.

Now where did I hide my SNES?

But then, sudden realization: Family Easter gathering for the next three days starts in 2 hours.

Growing up is such a shitty thing sometimes. As a kid I'd just have brought that shit with me, with Super Mario Kart, and Super Mario World, and Micromachines, and my Multitap and Secret of Mana, and... :'(

I'm currently playing both Soul Blazer and Terranigma back to back right now. I've been jonesing to play an old school top down action adventure game for awhile now. Soul Blazer gives me a very nice Actraiser vibe and I love unlocking people and homes of the areas I'm in as I progress. Not a huge fan of the "kill enemies until gate disappears" as it gets a little repetitive, but the awards are usually nice. Terranigma is the shit though. I love the complete tonal and pacing shift after you get out of the underworld. Feels like you're playing a better and different adventure game.

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.

Looks like a buttery smooth, full-on olde skool space shooter. I'd buy it. Sidhe seems to do great work in retro-esque games.

This is an in-progress translation patch for Suikoden Card Stories, the card-based spinoff of the Suikoden series for Game Boy Advance.

There are currently many graphical errors; at times the translation lapses into gibberish, and occasionally it will just flat out crash, so a lot of save states are required. Furthermore, sections of the game like the Recipe system and New Game + aren’t fixed yet.

That said, it’s playable to the end, so I am making it available to the public. I don’t plan to publicize it until it’s done, and you’ll get a better experience if you wait, but anyone who wants to play it now is welcome.

I never owned a C64 (I was stuck with my dad's work IBM-compatible) but pretty much all of my friends had one and it was the official computer of my school so I grew up with them.
