Hmm I wonder what this 'bombshell' announcement from Capcom could be. I'd love to see a new Resident Evil, Devil May Cry, Dino Crisis, Breath of Fire, or Darkstalkers game. I doubt a western developer would be doing a Breath of Fire or Darkstalkers so I guess that leaves the other three as the most likely canidates.

A site speculated that it was DMC made by the Heavenly Sword guys.

I was playing GTA LATD last night. I'm also playing with Gay Tony at the same time.

Heh heh.

And I find it strange when I'm doing a mission where I'm going after characters like Roman Bellic or Gay Tony. Because I played as them or on their side in GTA IV and Gay Tony. Shooting at them or kidnapping them or going after them is slightly disconcerting.

I've been steadily progressing in LATD, did the mission where I chased down Gay Tony. Find it weird how I'm the chapter head of the Lost and yet seem to be a cheap lacky to Elizabetta.

Anyhow, on the whole I think I've enjoyed the Liberty City Stories more than GTA IV all things considered. Particularly the fairer checkpoint system.

I could see it either being Dino Crisis or Devil May Cry since both have gameplay that map well into what Western developers are doing.  Resident Evil is too valuable of a franchise though and after Bionic Commando bombing Capcom has said they were going to be very careful with what went out to Western devs.

And as much as I'd like to see it, I think BoF is a dead franchise now after Dragon Quarter. Even when they started to rerelease the games on the handheld systems they never bothered putting BoF4, which is arguably the best of the series.  

Personally I think it'll be a new Mega-man and done along the lines of a Metroid Prime.  That's my guess from wayyyyy the fuck out in left field.

No, not really for me. I'm getting RDR for the 360 for the full install and play directly off the HDD, I prefer the 360 controller, and a few other little preferences. In all likelyhood the Wii and PS3 will be for exclusive games and the 360 will be my everything else system for the remainder of this gen.

Interesting. Is there any price difference in Canada between brand new retails 360 games vs PS3?

Do PS3 games get discounted faster than 360 games in the long run or vice versa?

If RetroN 5 or 6 has PlayStation, Sega Saturn and maybe NeoGeo CD support added, I'm in

I want some sort of retro adaptor like this that I can plug into Wii and play my N64 cartridges on.

Some Ubisoft financial details

said:

During Q4, Ubisoft said that it had strong sales of Just Dance for Wii, which has seen 3 million units sold-in. The publisher also said that November's Assassin's Creed II has reached nearly 9 million units sold-in during the fiscal year.

Ubisoft noted the strong reviews of Red Steel 2 for Wii, and said the game's performance was in line with recently-revised forecasts. In addition, sales of Avatar exceeded forecasts, "notably on Wii," Ubisoft said.

Guillemot said during a conference call that Ubisoft will continue to support Nintendo's platform, but with a focus on family-friendly titles.

"Wii is a more mass market machine now," he said, with sports and movie games selling well on the platform. "There still be lots of casual games like [Just] Dance … that will sell very well because of the number of machines installed."

I've been calling for this for 5 years now...

Reading POP reviews, as ever combat seems to suck.

IGN review - HD version

Whereas the combat and acrobatic sequences of Forgotten Sands are, in many ways, like those in the fantastic Sands of Time, the story and visuals of the game are a far cry. The plot is utterly predictable, and the characters (outside of the Prince) are forgettable. Likewise the game's visuals, something I normally don't even really notice, are all over the place. At times the game looks pretty fantastic, with great dynamic lighting and a wide array of colors, and at other times the game looks dull and dated. It's too bad, really, because if the story and look of the game could have been as refined as it felt in Sands of Time, 2010's Prince of Persia could have been a game that people remembered as fondly as its predecessor.  

1up/Eurogamer says there is a non-existant story as well. 1up hate the wii controls.

Game seems like it was rushed a little to be there for the movie launch.

Looks like you might as well play the original trilogy and save your money.

EDIT:

1up review, Wii version

At first, I was anticipating the moment when The Forgotten Sands would take off the training wheels and let me decide the best path for the Prince; having just blazed through the 360 version of the game, I was more than ready for something a little more advanced. But once the wheels were off and the puzzles grew in difficulty, my biggest problem didn't come from untangling the logic of puzzle platforming; rather, my biggest issue stemmed from being unable to communicate what I wanted to do using the clunky Wiimote. Granted, the Wiimote has its uses, but The Forgotten Sands seems to be a little too demanding; creating platforms on prescribed areas is all well and good, but having to decide where to precisely place a platform on a 2D representation of a 3D world, often in the middle of a jump -- well, that's just a recipe for frustration. Having to convey information at the screen via pointing while in the middle of grappling with traditional controls feels like the gaming equivalent of patting your head and rubbing your stomach at the same time. .

Yikes.
