I got to play Guitar Hero Arcade today.
That game is fucking EVIL.
It's essentially Guitar Hero III. Ok, not a bad idea, right? Well, it all goes downhill from here. There are less songs than GH3 (but includes some of the DLC songs) There's no whammy bar on the guitar, which takes a little getting used to. You get one song per credit (compared to the three you get on a Bemani game). It's also GH3, so the engine is quite unforgiving at times.
The most evil part? PREMIUM SONGS.
There are certain songs you can play, but only if you insert FOUR DOLLARS into the machine. That's right. To play specific songs, you have to pay more money. Which is fucking evil and wrong.
Though I also got to check out Namco's new lightgun shooter - Razing Storm. It's effectively Crisis Zone 2. No bad thing in the slighest.
Special place in Hell.
Right next to hamster
edit: Updates done
I can't believe you suckers aren't showing any interest in this game. You're hyped for BGE2 right? And yet you'll wait another 3 years for that. Yet a new adventure game made by the BGE2 team and in development for 3 years is coming out this year? Huh, nothing? Hello?
BGE2 is still in pre-production and isn't even being worked on until they've finished this game, so pull up your tighty whities and strap in.
Jacque Exertier from Ubisoft Montpellier:
“Core Nintendo gamers should enjoy the controls and gameplay variety as well as the open progressive structure.....We are working to make Rabbids Go Home easy to learn, hard to master, in the finest Nintendo tradition.”
Hey, I posted that news, so of course I am interested. Especially if they are really going to ape Galaxy!
You should know by now when I'm not talking about you.
You missed a few things in the updates and I'm feeling lazy today.
Maybe Steel will do some updates.
Sorry, I meant to thank you for the updates. Good reading there. Shame that Gametrailers F-ed up the conduit videos, part 3 is just part 2 repeated.
Unfortunately many people are going to assume that Rabbids is another minigame fest. So is it supposed to play like a Rayman game or what?
Any word on what that big Nintendo game is? I hope its something truly great and not a new Mario Party, which would just as likely get lots of shelf space. Probably moreso. What do you see more, Mario Party or Metroid? I rest my case.
Man I still have so many games i havent played yet, and so many I've been stuck on forever. I just don't blast through the games like I used to a few years ago. Unless its something totally awesome like MGS4 or whatnot. I'm still playing Persona 3, which feels like an eternity of gametime. Still Playing Witcher, and now RE5. I'm honestly thinking about just going nuts and getting a few hours time into every unplayed game I have, just to actually PLAY them finally.
Why?! It would probably sell a million if they think that!
Don't mention Metroid, that game never sold as much as it deserves
. Probably WiiFit plus or something.
Just force yourself to finish the games before moving on. Playing multiple ones at the same time is confusing.
Yeah me too, the only game I regularly play is Animal Crossing each day. And GTA DS on the bog. Even Madworld a suppossed 7 hr game has lasted weeks.
Rabbids is an action adventure game but has a weird play mechanic where you ride about with a shopping cart and trick people into stealing items. You use them to build a massive tower to the moon.
- action/adventure game
- Rabbids have decided they want to go home, but they don’t know where home is. For whatever reason, they decide that the Moon is their destination
- Rabbids goal is to collect enough junk to build a tower to reach the moon
- control two Rabbids at once: one sits inside a shopping cart, another pushes
- push cart into various junk to collect it
- some items require extra steps to collect
- use ‘BWAH!’ attack to scare clothing off of NPCs, then collect to add to your tower
- other items are used to give rabbids new abilities, power-ups for their cart
- Ubisoft Montpellier is developing
- Beyond Good and Evil team involved
- development started 3 years ago
- based on the same tech that powers Beyond Good and Evil 2
- Beyond Good and Evil 2 is on the back-burner until Rabbids Go Home is done
- 6 hub worlds, 20 environments, over 50 missions
- roughly 100 different humans, all based on various stereotypes
- main enemies are the Verminators and Vermi-dogs
- Verminators set traps to catch Rabbids, but they are actually scared of Rabbids
- levels hide various collectibles
- collect target items for new abilities: use a hospital patient’s oxygen bed to float
- new game mechanics added in roughly every 20 minutes
- target items can help you progress in other environments
- chase, battle, time attack, boss missions
- 15 hours of gameplay
- cutscenes explain missions
- crazy music and slapstick comedy…and fart jokes
- each mission ends with you flushing your goodies down a toilet
- multiplayer, but details not yet revealed
- locations: Airport, Builders’ Yard, Graveyard, Museum, Office, Pile, Supermarket (may be more)
- games of inspiration: Mario Kart and Super Mario Galaxy
- motion-control for opening doors and other context-sensitive events
- took almost a year to decide what direction to go with the game
wow, sounds pretty good.
so if its built on the beyond good and evil 2 engine, that means there's a good chance that game will have a wii version then.
- Rabbids have decided they want to go home, but they don’t know where home is. For whatever reason, they decide that the Moon is their destination -
sounds hilarious and could be a lot of fun.
Nintendo needs games like this one and like deBlob. Basically it has needed a company to step into Rare's shoes for some time now. 3rd parties should realise that it's not so much the nintendo name that sells on nintendo systems. guess it's something we could call the nintendo charm or something cringeworthy. anyway, rare understood it. they also used to made damn good games. i hope there will eventually be a stream of such games on the wii but i don't see how (or by whom) yet. but maybe rabbits go home will be one such game

ANyone check out the "Bruiser & Scratch: What Went Wrong?" article? It's one of the funniest things I've read in quite a while. The developer essentially blames Wii owners for his piece of crap game that scored a 5.0 on IGN and that's the highest score it got ANYWHERE. Wii gamers didn't like the art style, they don't know how to get online, it wasn't hardcore enough. . . blah blah blah.
These jackasses were part of Naughty Dog at one time, and so they must have assumed that because some other guys in their old company made some pretty good games that they'd naturally be able to do it too. Guess again douchebags. You made a bad game. No one bought it. Try and figure out the correlation there if you can. Just once I'd love to see a dev take some responsibility for a game's bad sales by saying, "yep we made a bad game. We'll do better next time."
I'm interested!
But I don't own a Wii.
Page is down, but I posted a different link, so check it out.
thanks bro
