Oh, wow! Did we not have this discussion before? Yeah, I remember it, I said Galaxy was better than TP, because TP did nothing new. You said that you did not care, TP is the better game overall.

So you should not care now either, Galaxy 2 is the better game overall and should score higher than Galaxy 1.

Just when you think you're safe the bitch bites back.

I started Red Steel 2 a few days ago....pretty cool game, definitely blows the first one away. However, I don't think its that great of a showcase for MOTIONPLUS as the controls don't seem any more precise to me than what Metroid and others do without it. In fact the game has a some annoying motion control stuff as well, like much of the sword fighting, and you have to do quite a bit of tweaking to get the controls to feel as good as Metroid just by selecting Metroid's ADVANCED setting.

That said, the game IS a major improvement over RS1, mostly because of the gameplay and mission structure. It took me an hour to get into the groove of it, but I dig its brand of open-world like gameplay. I really like the vibe of the game as well...it almost feels like something that would have been a typical DREAMCAST 2 game if the machine existed. Its got that experimental Japanese feel to it that SEGA's machine always had. I'm also surprised by the graphics.....easily one of the best looking Wii games and uses my full HDTV screen, and looks quite a bit better than it does in pics.

So far so good! Not AAA but definitely solid.

I just switched to the advanced default controls in RS2 and it was as good as, well actually better aiming than Metroid Prime 3.

Motionplus is doing ALOT for the controls in this game. Metroid Prime 3 used IR so it could always tell positionally where you were in the room and accurately represent it. In any game where your motion takes the end of the wii remote away from pointing at the screen/sensor bar, it would go frigging nuts without motionplus, which still manages to 1:1 represent your sword slashes (not your minute motions)

I don't know to me the controls feel more sluggish than Prime, or Medal of Honor. I honestly don't see any difference at all using the motionplus either. Doesn't seem like that big of a deal to me. It IS a fun game though.

Just one. Basically an enemy got stuck out of reach behind the bulldozer when you first get to the lower town, and the game wouldn't let me climb up the ladder to make my way around it, thus I had to restart to the last checkpoint. Was very annoying as I'd just died a couple of times before that.

You bought Red Steel 2 to do something other than exaggerated moves? What's next, buying Wii Sports Resort but then wanting classic controller support to be included? Maybe you should have bought No More Heroes 2 instead (if you haven't). You can decrease the motion plus'  sensitivity requirements to relaxed mode or whatever it calls it which means you can mostly just waggle to the directions you want and pull off any  powerful move you need but that sort of defeats the point of it all. Still, you can do that if you really want to. Anyway, keep playing, you get more and more specials and all are useful, neat, easy to pull off consistently, and make for a very robust take on the Zelda-type fighting system it has. The turning speed is faster than Prime 3 even with the presets for sure though, perhaps you don't remember well, or didn't notice it since you lock-on 90% of the combat time in that game, if not more. And don't play on anything less than the hardest difficulty, otherwise it's a short and easy game.

The more I see of those MvC3 scans the more I hate them.  Wolverine looks okay, but Hulk and Iron Man look just terrible. They look like some high-end 3-D polygon character models from around 1998.

HD Ico/SOTC?
Videos at the link.

Yesterday the rumour dropped that some of us had been waiting for since the PS3 launched. And when I say 'some of us' I mean anyone who's finished Ico and Shadow of the Colossus three and seven times respectively (stop judging me with those eyes!). That's right, it looks like two of the most beautiful, evocative games ever <sniff> could be hitting PS3 in shiny Blu-ray form in full HD some time next year.

Below, we've included some of original hi-res screens from Colossus and ludicrously sharp shots from NeoGAF that show Ico running on a PC emulator. We've also got HD footage of both games running on PC using a similar bit of kit. We call witchcraft on that shit. Seriously, though, we'd kill a man to play these in 1080p with trophy support. No, really. Actually kill him stone dead.

Shadow of the Colossus

Ico

Oh man I'm really loving the look of Marvel vs Capcom 3, it's looking awesome.

I really hope the Team Ico HD collection comes to fruition because I want it.
