Reisdent Evil 7 lol! They need to retire this series bad, it has jumped the shark completely with part 6. It's time to let go fanboys.

You could have said the same thing after RE0. And we all know what came next.

Damn that is a good point! lol.

I liked RE0. I even had the preorder t-shirt bonus.

Vader, at the start of Y2 they give you a very detailed recount of the first game, complete with cinemas.  You'll be okay.

Yes! I will get to watch the conference live!

So WB just Call of dutied batman. One year rocksteady one year the other guys. Way to kill a good thing. Is yearly installments of everything the norm now?

This industry sure knows how to milk a product to death.

Basically find something people like, make two good games, then follow a formula where you know you will lose X% by dilution, but pick up more through exposure.  You will eventually kill the goose that laid the golden egg, but at least when it is dead you'll have a pile of golden eggs.

You I think training people to expect their yearly installment of a favorite series in one of the things that is hurting the industry. Let's say the average gamer buys 5 games a year (probably isn't even that many). If they have a couple series that they know will be available - let's say Assassin's Creed, COD, and a Madden game - now they're only going to buy 2 other games the rest of the year.  That leads to less interest in trying something new, and possibly fewer game sales overall because they're unwilling to try anything new. Anyway that's just a crackpot theory. Probably wrong.

Sweet mother the MS conference tommorow is 10.00 am PST. I am on Atlantic time, so apparently that is 6 am for me. trlolololololol, I havent seen 6 am in like five years. Maybe I will stay up all night?

Ooooh now gamespot is saying it is 9am pst. So 5 am for me. lol ok then I guess I will just stay up all night.

Atlantic time? Like in the Maritimes? Aren't you doing your math wrong? That should be either 1 PM or 2 PM for you.

Sly 2 is pretty damn cool.  It's exactly what I was hoping the first one would be, a cartoony Ocean's Eleven.

No..... that's reverse. Atlantic is ahead of Pacific. For me when it's 9 AM PST, then it's 12 PM for me in Eastern time, and you're one hour ahead of me.

Yeah and according to random google link I checked it is a 4 hour difference back, so 9am PT (when the conference starts) is 5am (atlantic) here.

It should be 2pm your time.

Foolz I need a summary of yakuza 1. I want to start yakuza 2 and don't remember much. Needs to be detailed, I want to know characters and what they did.

Didn't even remember (as Aspro pointed out) that there's a comprehensive recap at the beginning of Yakuza 2, so probably not the best person to ask.

I did the four hour time difference in the opposite direction lol! Such a moron. I hate when things are annouced that are not in my time zone i'm always like waaaaaaaat.

Now imagine trying to organise a podcast with multiple people from different timezones.
