UPDATE

There are new permission restrictions so that news editors can only edit their own news items (and no, that's not why news isn't showing up -- it's a new week now since it's now Monday GMT or east).

What about me? I demand special treatment... from a naked woman. You guys are ALL paying for it too.

Copy/pasting this to the new week:

Just chiming in to tell you guys to see Hellboy 2, it kicks all sorts of ass.

I knew it would be good, I've never seen a bad Del Toro movie. You should check out the Devil's Backbone

I see Yoda. I only found it again due to google search!

Anyway GG how have you come to feel about this site?

It's great, everything is so much easier and faster. I like how the simpler design makes it more PC friendly than heavy sites like 1up or gamespot whose adverts and flash objects make my PC chug. This place is really made by all you guys and your presence.

I think the only thing that I feel is that, I have sort of a bunch of ideas and I can't do anything to implement them as again, I'm a useless technical turd. I like how we tend to veer off to movie talk at the weekend. I'm starting to think that we should have a Movie Geek Weekly page too and copy the format that we have here, only report on movie news/reviews.

Copied from yesterday

Downloading no I never download. And watching it on youtube. Come now, youtube is shit. Veoh and Dailymotion is a superior version of youtube without the attention seeking retards.

Episode 1

You can download veoh tv for free and see it on full screen.

The first episode explains it all. Death note was aired in Japan and now America. The only reason you are paying for it is because you are born in England.

Or you can visit the other forum I frequent, animecrazy, all the anime is on the side of the home page in alphabetical order. (Yes I jump on every chance I get to shamelessly plug it, only because its a great site)

Thanks to the both of you, I saw that last week and thought I posted a reply. I will try watching an episode.

BTW: I love how the MS conference falls just outside of my posting times. Ahhh, kick back and relax while Dvader has to update on it.

Not only that I'm not back on till Thursday So you guys are screwed.

Totally. Those guys WERE the gods at Capcom, which is why I can't believe Capcom didn't do all they could to make them happy. Those were the guys that came up with everything. Also Okamoto who I don't believe is there anymore....and I'm not sure about the guy that directed RE3, his name began with an A.

What surprises me, though, is that Capcom has been doing so well WITHOUT these guys. I mean, you can definitely tell that talent is missing, and they're not coming up with many truly INCREDIBLE games anymore. But they've done a very good job of at least making a high amount of really GOOD games without the A team around.

I still think RE5 would be so much more impressive if the real team was on it though.

Okomoto is at Game Republic making the Genji games and more. Some of the old streetfighter team moved on a long time ago to Arika: developers of Endless Ocean on Wii.

I got some replies to my post on the Ubisoft forums regarding their Wii support:

http://www.capcom-unity.com/ask_capcom/go/thread/view/7371/1007558/Secret_E3_Capcom_project_Flock?sdb=1&pg=last

From a few forumers, not Capcom official though.

I agree with you again, really I would be breaking my back to keep employees with that talent at the company. It makes no sense to me, but I guess these guys were veterens that wanted to move onto to making original, creative games even if they weren't commercially viable to capcom. Okami for instance was a fairly large budget game for the platform. Ironically for this style of game, for Mad World for instance a platform with lower developments costs like Wii is the best choice. Especially when coupled with their previous GC experience.

Have any of you seen that FPS coming to the DS called Moon? I was really impressed by the video I saw...looks like Doom meets Metroid.

I have heard about it, never actually seen it in motion. Matt C loves it.

Back from training!! GG when does E3 conference start England time or Holland time?

Anyone know if Microsoft is going to stream their press conference on XBL? Or do I have to watch it on Gamespot?

No idea. If anyone knows a reliable, fast and free place to watch this online other than XBL I would be grategul to watch it... while Dvader does the updates tonight

I did some surfing around, and it looks like Gamespot is the only one doing a live stream. The low-res stream is free, I think.

Introducing Wii MotionPlus, Nintendo's upcoming accessory for the revolutionary Wii Remote

"Nintendo's upcoming Wii MotionPlus accessory for the revolutionary Wii Remote controller again redefines game control, by more quickly and accurately reflecting motions in a 3-D space. The Wii MotionPlus accessory attaches to the end of the Wii Remote and, combined with the accelerometer and the sensor bar, allows for more comprehensive tracking of a player's arm position and orientation, providing players with an unmatched level of precision and immersion. Every slight movement players make with their wrist or arm is rendered identically in real time on the screen, providing a true 1:1 response in their game play. The Wii MotionPlus accessory reconfirms Nintendo's commitment to making games intuitive and accessible for everyone. Nintendo will reveal more details about the Wii MotionPlus accessory and other topics Tuesday morning at its E3 media briefing."

This is unexpected, but pretty damn cool, IMO!

Oh wow, that is actually pretty freaky because I thought about this idea a few weeks ago. The whole problem with the current wii remote being the lag and positioning relying on the sensor bar. Other companies for instance are using wireless radio signals to position. So I thought that a modular attachment could be put onto the wii remote with a through port. That's weird because that is basically exactly what I envisioned.

Wow how does this thing work actualy? I had a course about robotic and one about mechatronics, so I already know how the accelerometers and gyroscopes work! By the way the biggest problem with the old motion sensing is moving in and out of the screen. It is almost impossible to move in (z axis) without moving in x and y axes.

P.S. yesterday I watched Paprika on the interweb, Bwahahahahahahaha

Here is how the conferences work, you know the links, GS or IGN for feeds. We comment on the conferences here, I will watch it with the rest of you. When its over I will update the news with a sum up page.

Nintendo annouces WiiMotion PlusTrue 1:1 movement - FUCKING MEGATON!

Lulz they probably completely fucked over SONY and Microsoft who probably just ripped off the original Wii controller.

Rather big news there, I dont like the idea of it being an addon, that is somethibng major enough that it should be given to everyone, I dont know how but it should. Now some games will use it, others wont and it will be a mess.

No doubt it will be packed with a major game, probably something like Wii Sports 2.

Maybe all the new Wii's will have this technology integrated with the Wiimote. Say Wiimote version 2.0 and if they can make the attachment cheap enough and sell it with something like Wii-kendo than it might work.

I hope so, even then most developers probably won't make games with this in mind.
