Did the updates. What's this weird gap between stories now? And the shading on multiformat stuff confuses me with Sony news. Thumbs down.![Sad](http://thevgpress.com/tiny_mce/plugins/emotions/img/smiley-frown.gif)
I think it would work with a different colour and having no gaps like it was before. What color can you use though?
EDIT: I'm getting used to it now. Kinda of growing on me.![Happy](/tiny_mce/plugins/emotions/img/smiley-smile.gif)
Braindead chick? That's the perfect opportunity for you to make your move and ask her to play with your Wii at home. You know what I mean, Wii Play etc?
And GTA IV is on two, soon to be three platforms. If you look at the individual platform sales, Mario kart is king. Wii fit, prince. Rough estimates peg the system as having 41 individual million selling games. I posted the Battlefront footage, haven't watched it yet.
Pretty nice NPD numbers. The 360 put in a very solid performance which isn't surprising given it's now entering mass market friendly prices. Gears of War 2 pulled in some very good numbers as well as Left 4 Dead. I really need to pick up Mario Kart Wii soon. I've always loved the franchise. I'd like to get L4D real soon too, I loved the demo.
Full year sales for 2008:
Sales for December 2008:
"Deep down we all kind of knew it, but now it's official. Final Fantasy XIII won't be released anywhere outside Japan until 2010.
Yoichi Wada, president of Square Enix, confirmed the painful wait won't come to an end until at least April 2010 for western fans of the series. "
Anyone check out the cancelled Wii Red Faction BEAST game? I posted pics and a video.
Battlefront 3 looked crappy IMO. Surprisingly, the flight parts looked the best, kind of Rogue Squadron-ish. But on foot...wtf? the characters move 1 speed; 1 million miles an hour, and it looks lame. Looks worse than Force Unleashed.
I'm really not excited by any Star Wars games anymore, unless its a Kotor or a FPS like Republic Commando/Jedi Knight.
Final Fantasy 13 not until 2010? YES! I predicted this long ago, back when people actually had the nerve to think it may be a first year PS3 title. Its like huh? FF12 came out late 2006, and you honestly think FF13 will launch in 2007? Pffffft. They take forever on FF these days.
Riddick Dark Athena looks like just as much fun as the first game. Can't wait for that.
Red Faction on the Wii looked crappy. Looks like they were going for a 3rd-person version of the 2nd game, which was not even close to the original. But the Wii game actually looks cheesier.
I'm trying to watch the battlefront footage but my browser has slowed to a crawl while running a spyware scan. I'm interested in Star Wars games that are more arcade like in nature to suit the pace of the movies. Just, keep away the new star wars and keep to the original trilogy designs and music. FF XIII could be seeing a delay in west because of the choice to put it on 360 and have a simultaneous worldwide western release. Remember a few months back SE said that they hadn't even started on a 360 version, or touched a 360 dev kit because they were concentrating on the PS3 version first. That means once that is done you will have to wait for SE to port it and translated it, then it comes westwards. It's still on for a 09 Japanese PS3 release.
I think Red Faction looked okay, it's obvious that the game was very early on, but it was looking decent and with wii remote aiming and perhaps with a little psi ops type physics, it could have been fun. THQ though, they are throwing their weight behind their core gamer aspirations on wii with two really niche type games. An insect game and a giant ball of paint game. Seriously companies if they want success it doesn't take a brainiac to see what titles are destined for niche status.
EDIT: Saw the SW BF3 footage and I have to disagree with you Edge. It looks pretty epic to me, gets me wanting a new Rogue Squadron. I don't like the idea of running about at a million miles an hour, nor the idea of massive online battles though. How can Lucasarts pull funding for big projects like this or dissolve the Force Unleashed studion when the game was about to release? What is going on at Lucasarts for fraks sake? They used to be gaming gods back in the PC days, X-Wing, Monkey Island et al.
Did some more updates. I will post the new sonic pics in the the forum.
Fragile trailer, I haven't even played this and I already half love it because of the music and atmosphere and empty, haunting environments.
Hello? Anyone alive out there?
Visuals better than RE4?
Ok I just saw the Sonic trailer... what. I thought the game would play a bit differently, like GG says its like every 3D Sonic but with a stupid sword that you have to hit enemies which rather than simply jumping at them. I thought it would be more adventureish.
It is beautiful though.
Neogaf was not working, I had no link.
I cracked up when the raven appeared to the cheesy SEGA music. I love that classic Dreamcast style rock. "The night of the wiiind!" WTH?![LOL](/tiny_mce/plugins/emotions/img/smiley-laughing.gif)
This game seems like such a waste. They have a technically great engine, huge environments, an iconic character, an interesting looking game world. And instead of just creating some decent gameplay, they just have Sonic waste the whole medievil premise by rocketing him through the environments at a zillion miles an hour. It's a knights and magicians environment, why not at least try and do something like incorporate some RPG elements? Or slow things down and make it an action adventure? Why, just because its Sonic, do they have to just have a race into the screen? Argh SEGA, argh.
Check out these numbers I got from gaf:
Xbox 360 = Xbox + 18.75%
PS3 = GCN + 0.89%
Total Wii+360+PS3 = 33.45M
Total PS2+Xbox+GCN = 27.4
This gen = last gen + 22.08%
Exactly, if you are going to focus on combat than make it interesting, the video looks like the sword attack just replaced the jump attack. Its the same thing again, even worse cause now it seems you will have to fight the enemies as the main obstacle.
Was there ever a doubt on this game. EPIC.
No way. No way. I don't believe it.
I see no ass biting. I heard that there is a boss where you crawl over a huge human Shadow of the Collosuss style as a boss. Sounds cool.
What?!
PANDEMIC OPEN WORLD Wii game cancelled, yet still possible?
http://www.codenamerevolution.com/?p=8214
A lengthy feature on how the Dark Knight, the game based on the actual movie, helped bring about the fall of Pandemic Studios is available in the link below. However in regards to the Pandemic’s relation to the Wii the article stated the following:
“(back in 2006) Alpha (team, opposite to Bravo) began pre-production on a concept that would eventually become a project known internally as “The Next Big Thing”. It was to be an open world game for the Wii. (Our sources did not reveal any more details than this about the actual game design, except to say it still looks impressive today)…The end result is that Pandemic Brisbane was let go by EA. The Alpha team is apparently still together in some form and retains the rights to “The Next Big Thing”. They may be in a position to pitch this Wii title to other publishers.”
“It’s genuine. However, it’s my understanding that the game’s been passed to a new developer, but the tech that allowed you to fly from the ground, to air, to orbit, to space dies with Free Radical’s involvement. The new developer will be making it a cutscene every time you want to transition from ground to space.” - Inside source
So basically, that guy is saying what everyone already knew; PS3 and 360 are mostly equal, but the PS3 is a pain to develop for.
BTW, playing Gears of War 2 now. Its very similar to the original game, but better because the set pieces are much more interesting.
For example, in one area you ride on these gigantic tanks trying to reach a city, and your being attacked on all sides by these huge dudes. Stuff like that really blows the first game away.
Very pretty, but I don't think it looks THAT much better than Gears 1, there's slightly more color though.
Oh man Star Wars Battlefront 3 looks awesome. I want this game.
Are the huge dudes bare chested and oiled up?
I got screwed out of Fallout 3 BTW in a Christmas present mix up.![Sad](/tiny_mce/plugins/emotions/img/smiley-frown.gif)
