Good updates Iga.

Again this is the kind of crap that pisses me off by Capcom:

"but the prospect of a WiiWare - or even Wii retail - version of Bionic Commando Re-armed was never truly discussed"

Never even discussed. Seriously it takes some "special" kind of bullshit thinking to do retarded things like this. It's like in boardrooms around the world executives have never even heard of the most popular platform in the world.  

Elebits DS trailer, it looks okay for a 2-D game. Elebits is such a unique game and they've basically taken the art and made your typical gba style top down game. It looks cool for a DS game but that's not elebits. This is elebits: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kZB-P0WAAME

Kore, just watched the new videos and gameplay footage, this looks better than spyborgs, has no one else checked it out?

Force unleashed wii screen

IGN: Nice. So when plotting out a game, do you have specific teams in specific areas, or do you have multiple teams spanning regions, or even multiple teams within one region? What's the breakdown?

Walsh: There are teams within each region, so for example the PS2 Force Unleashed was done in Brisbane, while the Wii version was done in Melbourne, and the PSP was done in Adelaide.

IGN: Ok wow! So anyone freaking out that the PS2 and Wii versions are just quick ports know the real story. Full teams for each, different regions of the world…

Interesting they are doing two more wii games after clone wars and force unleashed and using motion plus for next years titles. And talking with lucasarts about it. Very interesting.

How I wish I were a metroid right now.

Are they aware Brisbane, Melbourne and Adelaide are?

I know Australia is big, but still...

Oh, and Melbourne respresent.

Everything looks better than Spyborgs.

Variety in platformers come from level design and mini games, like for example the manta ray and rolling on Steels testicle level in Galaxy. Man, I hope they rip of the planetoid level design in some of these 3D platformers. Speaking of Galaxy GG you never did a review of that game, what would you have given it?

It seemed pointless reviewing it when everyone and his dog has done a review. I tend to review the niche games which other people may not have heard of or had the chance to play, hence my reviews of games like endless ocean, elebits or hotel dusk. Also, I was suspended from GSpot when galaxy hit and then left while my mario galaxy thread was still going.

I probably would have given the game a 9.8. It has frequent moments that illicit supreme squeals of gamer joy. Sometimes playing it is like having a sensitive part of your brain twanged that you never knew existed before.

The "top secret" video of the new Bionic Commando game you get access to when you get BCR looks pretty awesome so I'm really pumped for the game but now this guy Judd says that they have a "fucking ace" up their sleeve to show at TGS. Oh man now I'm super pumped. I can't wait to see what is. When is TGS anyway?

September right?

You should get a job there.

I saw the special ending of Hotel Dusk, on youtube just fine GG, thankd for the links anyway.  Review up later in the week, I am going to write a few on some games I have been playing.

So Bionic Commando, anyone have it, its EXCELLENT. Its pure old school gaming perfection. I never played the original so I am shocked at the adventure elements.  Buy it!!!

Just looked at the Kore video, it looks good its just that after Galaxy this game looks so generic 3D platformer like.  I don't know, I think I have been spoiled.

Yeah Bionic Commando: Rearmed is an excellent game in general and remake in particular. I loved the original so this game really brought back some fond memories as well as making a few new ones. I just finished my first playthrough and will get alot more game time from it as I try to improve my leaderboard scores for both the regular game and the many bonus challenge levels not to mention playing higher difficulties and going for more of the achievements. This game is easily worth the $10.

I've been thinking a little and now that the site is expanding at all we should really try and think of what drove us out of sites like Gamespot, 1up, and Neogaf in the first place and what we should do to be different and make a name for ourselves.

I mean if we are going to invite more people how's modding going to work?

Are we just going to go by community consensus? Should we be rough on the fanboys and morons? Should we be passive? Should we invite a lot of people or justa little to start some sort of "prime posters only" thing?

I'll design their webpage.

^^GG out of curiosity have you ever given a game a 10?

Nope, but I only started rating games one by one a few years into gamespot to keep track. If I were to give a game a 10 it would either be mario 64 or Ocarina of time. Even though I prefer Majora to Ocarina. For their time, those games were revolutionary but also considering the tech and this sort of pioneering age of 3-d games. Well most games were pretty shoddy. For a team to get a game so perfectly right and in Ocarina's case, so all encompassing and huge, it's just a massive acheivement of technical skill, coupled with an inherent and natural understanding of what makes a great and engaging game.

I can understand that. This game looks like a platformer in the vein of banjo or rayman. Not much can match galaxy but it still looks solid and fun to me. Platformers used to be my favourite genre so I'm all for them.

Without the binds of corporate regulation, it's rather simple.  Say what you want to them, whether it's harsh or not, and if someone's making trouble, we'll deal with them.  It's not hard to point out who's just trying to bother people.

I'm not sure it's as simple as that. Do we vote on who we want to kick out? Do we just leave it to someone with modding powers? What happens if there is argument between say one of our prime posters and someone new (who we perhaps also know) but it's between them. But they are both causing a bad atmosphere. I think there would need to be some form of modding or just 1 person with some sense. But then even trolls have friends and those friends are going to be pissed if their buddy is kicked out and then we turn into gamespot.

Exactly. What if a poster like Carnage comes in here?

Also Cap vs Tat on Wii? Holy Shit! Well I just wished that it was in HD, but ehh I'm kinda glad that's on the Wii because I LOVE the art-style. Hopefully a Western release?

What is a Tatsunoko?
