In RE5 I believe you just go to the friend menu and send an invite. Or I could just ask to join. When someone joins it starts from the start of the last chapter.

I have two modes of play. I could be support where I let you take lead and make mistakes, I will just back you up. Or have me take the lead where I destroy everything in my path and we sort of fly through the game.

I prefer when both people are aggressive, run and gunning.  Sounds good though. I the meantime I'll play some Sonic or UC2.

Well I am talking more about whether or not you want to explore the game and figure out things. I assume this is your first time playing, I personally wouldnt want someone telling me where to go or how to beat a boss. So I can stay quiet and let you figure it on your own even if it kills you or I can be your strategy guide.

Oh, jeez, nah, just play as you play.  That's good.

Ok then, try to keep up.

EDIT: One crappy thing about RE5 online is that I bring my guns to your game. All my guns are fully upgraded and I have all weapons, even the super powered ones. I try to bring weapons appropraite to your level so that I don't easily dominate everything but even if I bring my basic pistol with it being maxed I can kill most things with one or two hits if you are playing on normal. I wish I could just start from scratch, I find that to be much more fun. Or maybe I go knife only.

Playing the 3DS while in bed before going to sleep, with the lights off and all that is a great experience. It feels more personal in a way. The 3D effects really come through, I was playing SF4 and every once and a while there would be a move where the something jumps out of the screen. It kind of felt magical, like a mini disney 3D movie in the palm of my hand.

Hey 3DS owners, I just witnessed a bit of magic. You can save your mii's as a barcode type thing. So GAF has a thread where they posted their codes and pics. All you have to do is go into Mii Maker and select QR scan. You point the 3DS at the computer screen and align it with the barcode. It reads it and a second later the mii you want pops up on your screen in 3D.

Pretty awesome tech there.

BTW Vader, how do I send you rude messages via 3DS?

I think there will be an update for that.

This is what I was talking about. You just point the 3DS cameras to the code onscreen.

Thread here with tons more.

I love that mii thing, added a bunch the other day.

RE Mercenaries trailer

Info:

The following comes from a Nintendo Power interview with Capcom's Masachika Kawata, series producer...


- decision to make The Mercenaries came after Revelations was underway, in order to provide a more conventional experience

- the experience the team had creating large multi-dimensional maps and displaying many characters on screen at once helped to positively influence Revelations

- characters chosen based on popularity with fans

- some old music from the series in addition to new stuff

- if Mercenaries establishes itself as a franchise, DLC is possible, though they'd have to consult Nintendo regarding the specifics

- didn't have to hold back on graphics, developed it as a full-calibur title as they would for an HD console (anti-aliasing in 2D mode)

- was a challenge to balance the level of 3D so that it wasn't too taxing on players over long periods of time

- feels Nintendo is more aware of third parties and each of their specialties with 3DS, which has led to a wider respresentation of genres

- skill system features progression - 3 grades per skill

- medal system

- hints at something else in the game to enhance replayability

- Revelations coming along nicely, game is 'huge,' will be full of new ideas and characters

I would prefer if they just ported RE5 but let you play alone, without Sheva.

I would prefer if they just ported Crysis.

No shit, that would be pretty cool.

Well, I'm back from my DC trip and I am worn out.  My ankles are killing me because we probably walked about 15 miles in a day and a half.  I'll probably be online with either Killzone or U2 tonight, but I'm so tired that I'm not sure for how long.
