I think the fires were probably for the insurance money. Notice how they always had the money to expand their business after a major fire.

I guess the updates aren't working. What a waste of over an hour of my time. I guess I should have looked up top to see if they were actually taking before continuing.

Factor 5 interview:

"As for cancelled games, I don’t want to get into specifics for the ones that aren’t mentioned anywhere on the internet. For example, we pitched a RS game viewed from a different perspective to LucasArts before Lair. The game that was being developed during Lair was an interesting take on some of the strengths of RS2 and RS3 with a unique graphical look.


As for games I can comment on, there was Thornado which was supposed to be a spiritual successor to Turrican. That was worked on during RS2 but ultimately scrapped. I remember one of the designers making a really nice model of a damaged Golden Gate Bridge.


Of course, the last game that Factor 5 worked on was a Superman game for Brash Entertainment. You can find a video proof of concept on Youtube."

GG some in the last batch of updates look botched unfortunately.  Is it my computer or are they displaying incorrectly on others' too?

From IGN's Last Story review....(which also comes out today, what the fuck!)

The Last Story has no significant shortcomings apart from a slight lack of verve; it’s not the JRPG revolution that Xenoblade Chronicles was, and its setting and story remain within safe territory, but great characterisation and an excellent, innovative battle system keep it interesting from the very first chapter to the last minutes. The quality of the localisation is superb, and that great combat makes it more exciting to play on a minute-to-minute basis than any other game of its sort. It’s a game worthy of its pedigree, then, and sits comfortably alongside Lost Odyssey as Mistwalker’s best work.

If this game is as good as Lost Odyssey you guys are in for a treat. And 20 hours isn't too bad as long as they just cut out all the usual RPG fluff.

Capcom:

“There is a rumour that we are working on a Wii U game,” Capcom’s head of marketing for US and Europe Michael Pattison told MCV.




“It won’t be at this show. But we do have something waiting in the wings, and we will be talking about that very soon.”

Capcom held a press conference this afternoon at Gamescom, and it was very light on Nintendo properties. Instead, the company focused on its big core IPs including Resident Evil 6, Lost Planet 3, Street Fighter X Tekken, DmC: Devil May Cry and a brand new IP, Remember Me.

See what he's let slip there? A wii U game as in a single lonely one title.

^ I corrected them.  Stupid question, but did you enter titles?  I see that the validation is missing for checking if it's empty, but don't know why it wouldn't read it.

Yeah I entered titles, it had the green box saying it had been posted successfully but the title text remained in the box but the link and subtitle went away as normal.

Whoops! Wrong place!

IGN hates Darksiders 2, a 7.5.
