As for Edgecrushers list the only games I'm interested in are De Blob and Wario. Pandemic making a PS2 version of Mercs 2 and no Wii version is a big old WTF from me. Still, I'm not that interested in the game anyway.
I don't like the main characters look at all. I'm actually getting a real bad vibe from Disaster because I really think the concept is lame.
That saying 2009 really seems great for the Wii: Tenchu IV, Oboro Muramasa Youtoden, Sky Crawlers, Madworld, Kizuna, House of the Dead Overkill, Rune Factory, Arc Rise Fantasia, Kore, Capcom vs. Tatsunoko (rumored), SPray, and The Conduit. Now to me this is the same problem 2008 so far has been for the Wii. This is the type of line-up the Wii should've had THIS year not the NEXT. By now we should have seen plenty of new announcements for big AAA production games while the little guys who took the Wii's spotlight early release their games for it.
Anyway I have a question for all the Resident Evil fans here. I hear from a lot of people that Resident Evil 4 is the bastard child in the series and isn't a "real" Resident Evil game. I have heard their points but what do you people think of them *cough* Edge and Dvader *cough*?
Hey I played all the games in the main series too.
For me, RE4 was absolutely needed. The classic Alone in the Dark perspective and tank controls were horribly outdated by the time that RE0 arrived and most people shunned it because of that. The REmake on cube looked stunning, but in this age the controls and perspective were far too cumbersome and unfriendly. For my money RE4 kept the feeling of RE while enhancing the gameplay considerably. RE5 to me seems to have lost that RE feeling.
As for Wii, November 2009 is going to be Wii's third year, the traditional console lifecycle is five years. I'm afraid that by the time publishers have finally decided that it might be a good idea to make major wii games, it's going to be time for them to start gearing up for the next round of consoles. It depends on MS and Sony and if they are sticking to this 10 year plan nonsense, or if one of them decides to kick start the next round early like MS did.
I bet you microsoft is well underway with thinking about their next console ... and you know it will be not too much more powerful than the 360 but it will feature motion controls and it will ship at an affordable price and with a family friendly image!
i don't know how they thought of it but it's genius really. World domination at hand!!

I think that nintendo has given everyone the perfect excuse to do that. Wii has already shown that the mass market doesn't neccessarily mind about hyper graphics. The PS3 cost so much that I think Sony will want to bleed it out cashwise and go for the long term. But MS came out first with 360 and now its tailing off in sales. Changing the shell of 360 and adding a motion controller is a cheap and easy way to kick start another console war. And if the specs stay relatively similar everyone will have the benefit of experience from the 360.

The "hardcore" will suddenly think it's the right thing to do. :X
Give G-dorf some love, too, or he'll continually stomp your face in until you fly up, then he'll magically hump you before flinging you away, drenched in his purple residue.

I can just imagine if it did happen. You'd get motion haters suddenly saying "I'm personally happy with the visuals we currently have. If Xbox 720 can do Gears of War 2 visuals and better than games will look great. That 3-D motion controller will open up all sorts of gameplay possibilities and they can keep the price down and have reliable 100% backwards compatibility too."
So basically, the Wii response only delayed by a few years. Then you'd get the other half saying that they are abandoning the console and shifting to PS4.

Have you guys unlocked everything? Did you use a guide to find all the secrets? Should I just refer to the website?
Tenchu, is it my imagination or is this game visually improving?
Did some more updates. 45 in total today between us IGA. Not bad.
EDIT: Oh I forgot, I have watched the first 6 episodes of Blood +. The first episode was good, then you're right IGA, it gets really slow. They have set it in the modern day and not in the past like the movie. I preferred the old Saya character model and I miss the english voice acting. This weird bloke with the Cello is... well weird. And this Kai kid is getting on the old nerves.
If Yodariquo is around I would just like to refer to the contention over english voice acting vs subtitles debate we were sort of having. Pete Doctor who oversaw the Howl's Moving castle english dub, said in the documentary that in Japanese they take fewer words to say the same thing. So for english voice acting to match the on screen animation they have to contract and re-tool the english dialogue to fit.

Yes we are awesome!!
About Blood+ keep watching it get's better, plus some totally unexpected things will hapen.
Hey guys, been busy. Checking updates now... RE5 what?!?!?!?!
EDIT: Oh its nothing, still no solid info.
Does this not scare you? I thought that Gears had worse control than RE4. Now they are trying to ape that? I might even prefer Mass effect style control. Ideally though they should be doing something more innovative (groan - buzzword) with the design other than changing or introducing a cover system.
I'm still thinking about how a RE4 game could be done on wii if it incorporated Elebits physics. Do you remember when I posted all those ideas back on GGD for how Umbrella Chronicles could have used it?
I posted this on the capcom boards:
You could given the lead character a P-Virus or whatever that would give them a special power. Using that power you could for instance click on a zombie's leg, up-end him and throw him into the crowd, or smash him against a wall etc. Or pick up a chair and smash it into him. Or throw him crashing through a window. Imagine the possibilties for solving environmental puzzles?
In RE4 you have to walk up to a bookshelf, push A and rigidly push said shelf to block a door. With elebits style control you can point, click and drag said object where you want it in an instant.
This is an area where the Wii has an obvious, instant and definite advantage. Having this kind of tech in your game is something that will push the game into good favour with journalists and gamers alike.
I don't like the main characters look at all. I'm actually getting a real bad vibe from Disaster because I really think the concept is lame.

Let them be fools, thats what I say. Anyone who followed RE for any good piece of time knew it was dragging itself like a zombie by RE0, it was going nowhere. RE4 SAVED the franchise, plus its better than any RE game before it, different or not, its BETTER. I know some adventure elements are missing, but it still felt RE enough for me to make it feel right.
But some people have some stupid notion that a game has to stay a certain way or its not a true game in the series. In RE's case it gets tied back to some stupid wrong notion of this made up genre called "survival horror". There is no such thing as survival horror, it was an advertising phrase used to describe RE, then that word got attached to all RE clones. There are no rules for that genre, all people really want are more old RE clones, let them life in the past. If it was up to them then MGS4 is not really an MGS game cause its so different.

Crap. I thought it was sooner. At least we should get a ton of japanese reveals. Monster Hunter 3 hopefully and FFCC.
They are making Dark Void for next gen systems, for capcom.
Me too. The screens are bad quality and you know it's not going to look like that. The only footage we have seen has been pretty good.

I like the whole concept and random aspect of it.

STALKER Clear Sky reviews are quite positive:
http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=331840
Why is this encouraging? Because the same developers are making Cursed Mountain.
I did some too. I wonder if anyone but the regulars have updated the news yet? In fact, I wonder if anyone but you and me are doing it?

Good Question, maybe Yoda should put the names of the newsposter behind each posted news. That way we know who posts when!
Done playing Brawl and I came to this conclusion. Ike = Fedor, all his attacks have huge power behind it.

Listen to Wu-Tang and watch Kung-Fu
Maybe he could put a tiny pic of our avatar up there? As we have limited space already.
Ike is a power player. I still haven't had time to actually play this game yet.

See Ike is like Fedor!

I can't believe that people would want the old RE control scheme back?
GG, RE controls haven't really changed (well until now, wonder how that will work), just the view point.
