Talking to ONM about the making of House Of The Dead Overkill, Neil McEwan admitted "There was a time when my scriptwriter was very nervous about the amount of swearing we had in the game and we even considered cutting a lot of it or bleeping it out. But in the end we're pleased that we stuck with it."

McEwan also said that they've already got ideas for where there characters could go next. Yet, when asked, he wouldn't be drawn on a sequel:-

"I can't really say but when we were working on our characterisation for Agent G and Washington we gave them a backstory and because we feel a lot of love for these characters we worked out where they went after Overkill. So there's definitely still scope in the Overkill universe."

Daniel Wilks is rolling in his grave. (I wish he was dead.)

Hyper basically spent the whole review whinging about the swearing it, then a whole editorial whinging all over again.

I have never played a Zone of the Enders game, why would I care if a third one came out?

Because Kojima's penis will be drawn inside the booklet.

Don't you love Kojima? ZoE>MGS4.

Never played that either. Why does everyone seem to get a raging boner everytime ZoE gets mentioned?

I feel like Rockstars estimates were right on, I felt GTACW should be a 2 million seller easy this year. Oops.

I think it will continue to sell, I think that maybe one day it will reach 2 million, its just not that breakout success I thought it would be. I swear I expected around 300k -400k units to be sold easy.

You do realize that Vice City Stories for the PSP sold about as much as ChinaTown Wars in the same time frame correct?

Don't know. Probably because it's an above average game with Kojima's name on it?

VCS was on the PSP and not as good as CW.

Actually I don't know either. I only played the original and it was kinda fun but nothing amazing. It was just your average mech game, but a fast version of it.

What's been announced so far at MS conference? I have liveblogging sites blocked, and GAF thread is just too hectic to keep up with.

 Nothing new as far as I can gather. They are showing the new RPG End of Eternity, Lost Planet 2 and Bayonetta.

I just noticed. I have known about the games announced for a while now. Hanging out here at the VG press has its perks.

 Well just came back from Neogaf, they are annoucing new games, but it's all over the thread. Will wait untill someone makes a summary before I post it here!

I dont understand because you love GTA + it has great reviews.

Well I enjoy lots of games but I only have so much money and so much time to spend. There are simply other games I enjoy more so naturally those are going to be the ones I get first. It's really just common sense, at least to me.

Otherwise known as Ravensense, where black is white, up is down etc?

I didn't buy GTACW right away because I had never played the top down versions and had no idea it could be as fun as the 3D ones.  I wouldnt have bought it if it wasn't for GG's recommmendations.

Really? You came so late to the thread I thought you already had it. I guess this is why forums are useful. There was no Chinatown Wars hype thread on gamespot so i guess people didn't understand how good it was. There was no usual watching as the reviews roll in for big games.

I think it should be noted though that I'm not really one of these big GTA fans that you guys speak of, I loved GTAIV and really enjoyed Vice City but outside of those I really didn't play much of the other ones and never played any of the handheld ones. Also while I really do enjoy some of the games on handhelds I've always been much more into home console games so that definately affects my purchasing habits. Hell you guys should know how much I love Ninja Gaiden games and I still haven't gotten around to picking up NG: Dragon Sword yet.

I see. Such a shame, you can get that game really cheaply now from amazon. Check out the Hot Gaming Deal thread.

But it didn't, in Europe at least. Current estimates are that it is selling at half the rate the PSP GTAs did. But back then, those games didn't have any competition, sort of like how Mario 64 DS is one of the top selling DS games.
