What's the best MMA game out currently? UFC 3? Supremacy MMA?

What's the best MMA game out currently? UFC 3? Supremacy MMA?

Word has it that Supremacy MMA is a steaming pile. The EA Sports MMA title was very fun, but repetitive in the Career mode. I understand they have shut down the online servers or are just about to do that, so if online is your goal don't buy that one. I am personally biased toward UFC but, of the bunch, it will have the largest number of users, still has supported online, and a Career mode which has enjoyed two evolving iterations.

[Momo]

Hmm,I'd like online since I dont always have friends around. Thanks!

[Momo]

Just paid like $3 for X2 : The Threat - White Label Edition, noticed it's still $5 on steam.

Microsoft's conference is going to be a trainwreck, and it'll be awesome.

Microsoft's conference is going to be a trainwreck, and it'll be awesome.

What do they even have to promote for this year? A pile of sequels and... that's about it! Maybe a cursory mention of the 720/whatever it's called now.

DRAGON BALL Z FOR KINECT STAGE DEMO

AWWWWWWWWW YYYEEEEEEAAAAAAHHH

[Bebpo]

Isn't it just going to be HALO HALO HALO

[Momo]

KINECT KINECT halo KINECT KINECT HALO-KINECT KINECT EVERYTHING-KINECT

[Bebpo]

They're sticking with Kinect?  Thought it was just going to be a fad for a year or two and then they'd go back to focusing on their games.

Dude, they have Fable, Dragon Ball Z, and Forza Kinect exclusive games this year. I wouldn't be surprised to find out Halo 4 uses Kinect in some stupid way no one will ever use too.

[Trent Dole]

Halo 4 will def use Kinect. They declared last year that all 1st party shit going forward will use it in some form last E3 if memory serves.

Forza Horizon and a bunch of Kinect games that will probably result in a lot of developers embarassing themselves on stage in front of millions of people.

So good times with Jarosh are to be had in the near future then.

If I was working in Microsoft Studios and they insisted the game I was on use Kinect, I'd tell them that it used the microphone, and every time the player says, "No! No! No!" or "Fuck you!" it increased the difficulty level.

GENIUS  thats actually really innovative Kinect intergration. Like for Dark Souls or something "enable your Kinect for the ultimate challenge! Lose your cool, and the game starts kicking your ass harder!"

I would use that feature

[Joe Molotov]

Buy it and send it to Andrex.

Final Fantasy Versus XIII.

Apparently there are some 50$ sales + games going on at stores right now. Gamestop maybe.

Price drop incoming.

[Takao]

So it seems that every time you die in Battleship: The Video Game you get a sweet US Navy ad:

Bwahaha, there's no way the game shows a promo video for the Navy once you die right? Jeeze Activision.

[Takao]

Who wants to bet this is Super Ultimate Marvel Vs. Capcom 3?

[Owl-faced Wizard]

Announced in a Japanese mag?  Uh.

Can you play pirated 3DS games yet?

[Takao]

This shit makes me sad:

i'm willing to buy and re-sell second hand titles (that's what i did when it came to gamecube) i'm just not willing to spend 50-60$ on every fart the internet declares the best game ever
if anything the problem is that i'm not sure what the heck i should play on it... it's not like i give a damn about mario kart or super mario 3D land

[Takao]

Hey people in Japan, are Sour Patch Kids popular there? Maybe World Gone Sour is Unexpected Capcom Game (tm) ?

[Positive Touch]

Noitu Love 2 coming to Steam in a few days.  Buy this game, it is awesome.

What Brawl should have been. 

[Joe Molotov]

Man, Brawl was such shit. It's tempting to say that completely killed off all of my Nintendo fanboyism. Maybe it wasn't solely responsible, but I did sell my Wii not too long after it came out.

[MyNameIsMethodis]

i put in loads of hours in Melee and loved it. Playedo ne hour of Brawl and said "nope". and threw it away literally

What's the bigger no-no in this trailer, the cliched choice of music for the actions on screen, or the fact that here we are in 2012 and marketers still have to resort to live action to sell a game?

Forum dweller comments aside, it's nice to see Activision pushing Prototype 2. It's good to see them try not to rely on just CoD, licensed games, and Blizzard.

[demi]

Except after it bombs, Radical will shut its doors and be no more.

[Stoney Mason]

No one gives a crap about Prototype. They should have done a new ip.

[Takao]

Except after it bombs, Radical will shut its doors and be no more.

It seems that in 3 of the last 4 years Activision has canceled at least 1 of their games, which isn't a great sign. What other "big" games are coming? I know Diablo 3 is out this time next month, but otherwise it seems Prototype 2 could have an open field for a while.

[demi]

Call of Duty

[fistfulofmetal]

i've found this software called DXTory which is awesome. it's basically FRAPS but way better. i can set a FPS limiter for games that never quite reach 60 and tend to go up and down often so i limit them to ~50. also has a setting that offloads some GPU processes onto my CPU.

with this software running The Witcher 2 plays far more smoothly than it did before. no more micro-stuttering at all. thumbs up!

[Takao]

How Activision will eat Activsion's face?

Johnny Cash is rolling in his grave. 

[Trent Dole]

Sevendust (think it was them, might've been some other band) covered Hurt as an homage to Cash upon his passing AND credited him as having written it on the LP they released it on.

kids these days

[Stoney Mason]

Maybe. I just don't think the trajectory of that franchise is going anywhere. And I think they've done a terrible job of promoting the second one.

[Owl-faced Wizard]

Woah, I just found out La Mulana was released on wiiware in Japan.  Shows how much nobody gives a shit about wiiware/wii anymore that this went under my radar.  Anybody want to give some impressions?

I dunno, I've seen quite a few TV commercials. I think it will do pretty well

I'm really hoping it doesn't bomb. I'm sad when someone turns out a fabulous game and, due to forces beyond the quality of the game itself, it doesn't meet sales expectations (and those expectations themselves can be part of the problem) and VIOLA! la bomb, followed by layoffs. The environment is so volatile now, makes me think about going casual, or getting out of dev.

the freeware version is super obtuse,i got stuck at the beginning because it turns out that if you kill all the enemy in a room,you open another passage in a room that is in the completly opposite direction and totaly unrelated,there's some vague hint in another room but to read it you need a translator,which you can buy by grinding money,to make matter worse the enemies you need to kill fly all over the place and are hard to reach so the chance of killing them all by chance are close to 0

apparently the whole game was inspired by an old konami MSX game,the maze of gallious



actualy even better (this is pretty spoilerish so don't read if you care about the game)

spoiler (click to show/hide)

hidden in the game there is a parody that combine tokimeki memorial and snatcher

[close]

[Takao]

Hey Garbage Can Man if you're reading this can you tell me if Sly Cooper 4 will bomb so hard that Sanzaru will be forced to close? The game looks really cool, and it seems Sanzaru's heart is in the right spot so I don't want to see that happen. Basically, what I'm asking is if the Sly HD Collection did well.

[EmCeeGrammar]

What Brawl should have been. 

I somehow doubt its gonna be finished anytime soon.  With all the talk I thought maybe they were finally finished with the roster but it seems they still have along way to go.
