Holy shit! The trailer for the new Batman game looked freakin' amazing. Batman on PS4 and Xbox One made by Rocksteady? Shut up and take my money already! So glad to hear that Scarecrow is back as well.

Gunman Clive 3DS eShop sales besting Steam sales

This reminds me of the one "Nintendo is Doomed and Here's How to Fix it" article I read that I actually agreed with to some extent. The author referenced Gunman Clive Sales on the 3DS and how they were beating sales on Steam, iOS, and Android. It was suggested that if Nintendo offered a line of good games around the $2 level it would be in a much better position to compete with smart phones and tablets that have games at the same price or cheaper. It makes sense and Gunman Clive shows that it can be done.

The company that makes Wario Ware should be more than capable of getting out cheap $2 games that are fun for the 3DS. I know you are not suggesting this, but for everyone else, this obviosuly would not mean that they woudl stop making full retail games for the 3DS, it would be an augmentation to appease parents of kids (No adult who exclusively games on a smart phone/tablet would ever get a dedicated gaming device -- just as they wouldn't get a dedicated calculator,  dedicated camera or dedicated mp3 player.  All those things are for specialists.

Details

  • Last Batman game for Rocksteady, will work on something totally new next.
  • There will be a brand new villain, something made by Rocksteady that they say will be the ultimate test for Batman
  • Batmobile can be called at any moment with a button.
  • The city streets are much wider to allow for the batmobile. You will rocket jump off ramps and do all sorts of cool maneuvers.
  • You can eject jump out of the batmobile right into a super fast glide straight through the glass of a building to knock out enemies. They said glass breaking will be a big new thing.
  • New moves include being able to use all your gadgets during flight. You now have a counter throw where you counter a guy and throw him into another guy. A new quick ground takedown. A quick backflip where you then throw a batarang in an enemies face.
  • For the predator sections you can now chain takedowns of up to four enemies. For instance pop out of a grate and take one guy, jump to the next and so on. You can now enter grates from a distance, he will automatically do a jump or roll to enter them.
  • Riddler challenges seem to be car based. The first one has you enter a sort of Riddler race track where you have to activate walls and ramps, when you activate one another closes so as you drive you have to be constantly turning on and off these ramps as you navigate the course.
  • Batmobile fires missles and stun guns. It destroys anything it touches so if you bump into cars the cars go flying. It's basically unstoppable.
  • Story is that after Joker's death all the criminals decided to work together and their plan comes together this night where they plan to kill batman. The article talks mostly about Scarecrow, he scattered bombs throughout Gotham.
  • Oracle will play a larger role, you get to visit her base and talk to her, tons of batman easter eggs included.
  • Kevin Conroy is Batman, all the previous voice actors are back.
  • Gothom City is 5 times bigger than AC. Split into 3 areas. NO LOAD TIMES at all, entering buildings is seemless.
  • They spend a bunch of time talking about how detailed the models are, one character has more polygons than the environment of Asylum.

Thanks for all the details Vader. To answer your question from yesterday, I have no interest in the open world direction Arkham took with the second game. I preferred the tighter linerar levels with the hub world that was found in the first game.

I'm playing FarCry 3 just now, and there is open world and there is open world. Games like the second Arkham and FarCry 3 are so directionless I feel like I am reading two magazines simultaneously whlie suspended upside down.  GTAV did it right, as did Red Dead, but these truly directionless open-world games are too much for me when I am looking to gaming to relax.

This is not to say I am not enjoying FarCry 3, but I'll likely drop it today and start on RE6 instead and go back to it when I am not sick.

Few more things:

  • You can now use the linear launcher on anything to create ziplines. This is done in mid flight so you can quickly land where you want.
  • All enemies now have the ability to grapple Batman, not just big guys.
  • Roads wont have many vehicles, just some thug cars and cop cruisers
  • There can be enemy riots, up to 50 enemies on screen at once.
  • More Riddler type challenges than just racing.



Some more on the story and the demo GI played. Don't read if you dont want spoilers

  • Starts off with the evacuation of Gotham cause Scarecrow has put fear toxin bombs all over
  • Each villain is doing their own mission to cause chaos and spread Batman thin.
  • Two-Face and Pengiun are shooting cops in the streets.
  • Batman sees the batsignal and meets Gordon at the roof, fills him in on the scarecrow issue and Gordon gets a call from Barbara saying she is out of the city.
  • Batman goes off to find scarecrow thugs and contacts Barbara who is of course still in the city helping him out.
  • He helps some police when an armored vehicle comes through the streets blowing up police cars, batman hops into the batmobile and takes down the vehicle. Out of the wreckage a scarecrow thug tries to throw fear toxin at batman but he catches it and gets the info he wants.
  • He takes a detour to find a riddler thug, you know the drill, this leads him into an underground race track, lab thing where Riddler shows up and says he will be testing you all night long.
  • He beats the race track, Riddler says he will use the data he learned to make much harder tracks later.
  • He next visits the clock tower oracle is in, it has a statue head that you pull back like Adam West's switch, no red button, its a scanner instead. This reveals the hidden room. She is analyzing the toxin from the thug. It has a radiation she can track, Batman needs to reach an antennae in the Falcone shipping yard.
  • He beats up some goons and puts the tracker on the antennae. As he walks out he is being shot at buy a guy in a militaristic Batsuit flying through the air at him. The batsuit has a big A on it. He knocks down Batman, stomps on him and says "you aren't going anywhere". He points his gun at Batman's head and the screen fades to black and you hear a gunshot. End of demo.

Also Mutant Mudds sold best on 3DS, followed by Wii U, beat Steam too.

SteamWorld Dig has also outsold it's counterpart on Steam. Granted that situation is a little different since it launched on the 3DS first, but the developers said that after the initial launch on Steam their sales have flatlined on it while 3DS sales continue to roll steadily on. There's no question that those smaller games sell well on the 3DS.

That is actually kind of the direction I was going with it, though that's a better idea than the ones I had. Game & Wario is full of neat little games and things that I'd guess you call apps that would be perfectly at home being sold on mobile devices for $1 to $5. Hell I've said from the beginning that the Gamer game that they included needs to be a stand-alone game because it's one of the very best things I've ever played on the Wii U. Those guys could crank out plenty of games. And if Nintendo handled it right, it'd be a great way to give your kids something to do while you keep your phone to yourself.

Continuing my no alert no kill max difficulty MGS3 run, I got stuck on The Fear. Took me over an hour. The bastard refills his stamina meter. I had no rotten food to give him so I had to chase down poison frogs. When he goes for food I had to chase him around the level hitting him with the slow tranq gun which is slow to aim, he is jumping around and I ran out of bullets so many times. So many times he would refill his stamina right before i can finish him. Took forever...

and I LOVED IT!!! What other game is like this! I had to find poison food so that he would throw up and give me a moment to attack him. I was thinking of saving the game and starting the game up tomorrow so some of my food would be rotten. The Fear is such an easy fight if you just want to kill him, you just mow him down. But try to stun him and its totally different. This game!

Amy Henning kicked out of Naughty Dog! WOAH! She was directing Uncharted 4 and today she was "forced out" of Naughty Dog.

Numerous trusted sources close to Naughty Dog have verified Hennig’s departure from the studio. She was writing and leading development of Uncharted PS4. Her final day at the studio was Monday, March 3.

Sources claim Hennig was “forced out” by The Last of Us’ Neil Druckmann and Bruce Straley, and explained that Uncharted may now come under their control.

Update: Sony has verified Amy Hennig's departure. A representative told IGN, "We can confirm that Amy Hennig has left Naughty Dog. Amy has made significant contributions to the game industry and we appreciate all she has done for Naughty Dog. The development timeline of Uncharted will not be impacted."

WTF happened? She MADE Naughty Dog, before Uncharted they were just the Jak guys, no one cared about them.

Make a new Legacy of Kain!
