Bah! PSP sucks! Xbox 360 rulez!
I really don't care about the Sony console exclusive games. I just want more Capcom Arcade games like Strider and Darkstalkers on XBLA!
Oh, and that Dino Crisis 3 remark was a little uncalled for, Vader.
*wants to remove the big news colour from resident evil news
Wait someone beat me to it. Steel, GG?
RE news is bigger than the usual crap that gets the big news color. Wii bundles?... robotology wtf?... Monster Hunter online hub???
Huh? Marvelous is going to port Wii games to PS3/360?
It will work fine with Little Kings Story and Muramasa (both I rather get on the PS3 in nice HD with trophies) but how in the hell is NMH going to work. That is a game designed around the Wiimote, it wont translate right, it will be rather pointless.
Oh man I finally lived up to the "Hobo" moniker today, I purchased Dead or Alive Xtreme 2 for $10 from a bargin bin.
I'd rather have a Big Mac Combo meal instead.
One of the site's forefathers.
I wrote a fucking 120,000+ word novel inspired by Rule of Rosee trailers and gameplay footage. Never did actually buy the game, though (I think it may have been banned here, too).
Disgusting.And some people are incenssed by piracy.
Didn't the judge throw out the verdict and order a re-trial, though?
It does have very good visuals. I like the way the lighting especially. Some of the wall textures are bad up close, I think that in some environments they are using very basic shaders on the walls and when the camera goes too close it falls apart. I don't like Steve though and never have, his character model etc. He's like an annoying weedy Leon.
Forget about wii mote stuff. The visuals in NMH would need such a freaking upgrade to be barely acceptable on 360/PS3 that they might as well make a new game. How is the already N64-ish overworld going to look? Plus they can't even get the frame rate right in many areas. It just wont wash on more powerful systems. They can't even get it right on Wii.
HD on the other games is nice but fairly pointless, it will just use better scaling on the same game. It will look better for people who play their Wii through HDTVs I suppose. Otherwise it's fairly pointless and I wish people would just buy them on the system intended. A game like Rune Factory wouldn't wash on PS3/360 either, purely from a visual standpoint.
NMH overworld is not even acceptable on a N64 standard
EDIT, I was wrong:
Platform holder purchases Five’s new primetime quiz for £2 million with new Advertiser-Funded Programming deal
Nintendo is to bankroll its own TV show on UK channel Five – as games’ growing fiscal dominance of other media hits a new milestone.
The platform holder has struck an Advertiser-Funded Programming (AFP) deal with the channel for Britain’s Best Brain. MCV understands the partnership, which Nintendo will use to promote DS titles, cost the firm around £2 million.
The deal was brokered with Tiger Aspect Productions by Mediaedge:cia (MEC), and will result in eight one-hour programmes that will air from October. Britain’s Best Brain will challenge contestants to tackle five tasks governed by memory, co-ordination, numeracy, recognition and risk.
Nintendo will enjoy exclusive sponsorship credits around the programme – but faces barriers getting its consoles and games mentioned during the show. Unlike the US, commercial product placement is still illegal in
UK TV programmes.
Head of programming at MEC Chantal Rutherford Browne said: “This television concept is a fantastic opportunity for Nintendo to bring their games heritage to life. I had been on the lookout for Nintendo for some months and already had preliminary negotiations with Five when the idea of Britain’s Best Brain came along via Tiger Aspect.
And why are the Thursday Arkham Asylum updates in red? Is there a DS version?
God of Complaining, indeed!
Updates done
NP: We've heard from a lot of people who are under the impression that the next console Zelda game is going to be something radically different from what we've seen in the past. Is that the case?
Miyamoto: No, I don't think it's going to be that radically different. Accessible gameplay. Something that we're going to look at focusing within that 3-D realm is really highlighting the things that are important within the Zelda franchise--the actions that Link can take. I think it's easy to maybe overthink it because you're in that 3-D realm of all the different things you should be doing or try to be doing, and really what's important to understand is what's available to you, and just focus down on what's best suited for that rather than just trying to implement a whole bunch of different things.
NP: And, of course, everyone wants to know exactly who that female character is in the illustration.
Miyamoto: Yeah, that's probably the most important part of that artwork. I really can't talk too much about [it]; one thing that's important to note in that artwork, though, is that Link is carrying a shield, but that's all he's carrying.
NP: Now, before you showed the image, you talked about wanting everybody to have unique, personal memories of their adventures in Hyrule. Is that something you're actually trying to implement in the game--a personalized Zelda experience for every player?
Miyamoto: Every person's own individual experiences with the game should be unique and [be] their own sort of "My Zelda" experience, and I think that's super important, and we have to look at that when we're creating dungeons and how we can make that come true. So spending a lot of time concentrating our efforts in that area. But it's not going to become individual: "Hi, I'm this Zelda!" or "I'm this Zelda!" or "I'm this Link!" or whatever. The experience will be unique but within this world that we've defined.
“I don’t think it’s going to change dramatically. We are doing it on the Wii [console]. That being said, we can look at Twilight Princess - it was built to run on both GameCube and Wii, and this one will be running only on Wii, so I think there will be differences inherent to the fact that it’s only on this platform.” - Shigeru Miyamoto
MIYAMOTO ON NEW SUPER MARIO BROS Wii
Miyamoto: The same team that did Super Mario Advance and DS New Super Mario Bros.--the same team through all those. Mr. [Takashi] Tezuka and M. [Toshihiko] Nakago are part of that group. Mr. Nakago isn't one of those people that comes out to the front, but Mr. Tezuka is the main one.
Miyamoto: We really didn't think about designing the courses or levels for multiplayer. They're designed for that single-player experience. But it's just fun to have more people playing together. We really didn't go out of our way to build anything specifically for multiplayer. I think the thing that we really had to focus on was kind of the opposite--we had a single-player mode, and all we had to do was make sure that within this level that it could be played with more. So we couldn't create anything that wouldn't allow us to put more than one character in there, and that was kind of tough. We've got that [auto-scrolling moving platform]--if you make that the normal size, of course, you can't get all four players on it; if you make it too big it's too easy. So looking at that, that's one of those things that we had to work on specifically because we have introduced multiplayer.
Miyamoto: Well, you did see the penguin suit, but what you didn't see was how the penguin suit lets you move in water. That's something we haven't shown anybody yet. And one thing that I was going to show people at the roundtable but I completely forgot to do was that once you freeze an enemy you can actually pick that enemy up and throw that ice blook. There are a lot of things that you can pick up and throw around, link [in] Super Mario Bros. 2.

That Monster Hunter 3 video. So cool. Snow, beautiful villages, massive monsters to fight.
Mother****!
Airship battle?
Woah. Cliffy B. has five projects on the go currently? Well one is Shadow Complex and another is what I'll assume is Gears of War 3 so I wonder what the other three could be. Oh man I'm so curious. I wants to know. NAO!!!
Will they feature characters with hair though?
All that power and they can't do hair. Amazing.
