I second that one :) I can't believe it either because World At War has only been out for like, what 5 or 7 months now?

I've already preordered my copy.

Call of Duty 6? Already? You know, if a game is released that quickly, it probably was rushed.
Hey, DW, that SWBF2? That game was rushed badly, but it didn't take up much space either.
Title: Re: New Video game releases!
Post by: Twilight Wolf on September 01, 2009, 08:17:41 PM
"World at War" and "Modern Warfare 2" are made by different developers, you know. They've had a good... what, two years? To work on a sequel.

I'm pumped for Lostwinds 2: Winter of the Melodias and the new Metroid, but they aren't coming soon. ='[

Then there's Spirit Tracks, which...well meh.

You, a PS3 owner, haven't heard of the "Uncharted" series?

I am speechless.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uncharted:_Drakes_Fortune

Yes, it's good. It's awesome, in fact. Very short (I finished it in less than nine hours; I hope the sequel will fix that), but very, very good.

Oh yeah, it's that Tomb Raider ripoff...

Now with the price cut I might even consider buying a PS3, who knows...
Title: Re: New Video game releases!
Post by: Twilight Wolf on September 01, 2009, 09:37:06 PM
As a fan of "Tomb Raider," I can tell you it's not a rip-off at all. Similar game style, yes, but not a rip-off. In fact, the similarity was one of the main reasons I wanted to get it, and I'm really glad I did.

Also, skip the PS3 Slim if you want a PS3 and go for a big one - they're the same price. With so many great games and more on the way, it's well-worth the price, especially now.

I know, also, the PS3 has no backwards compatibility, so no way I'm buying it now.
No matter how you put it, the PS3 is a win for me.
Title: Re: New Video game releases!
Post by: Twilight Wolf on September 01, 2009, 09:47:55 PM
If you buy either a 20, 60, or earlier 80GB PS3 (either the "Motorstorm" bundle one or the "MGS4" bundle one) they'll play PS2 games. They'll also have SD card/Memory Stick/MS Duo/Compact Flash card readers and extra USB ports. The 20 lacks built-in WiFi, though. Any PS3 will play PS1 games. Since the PS3's price has dropped, the used ones will be cheaper, too. It's a win/win.

Not much in the way of Mana, and I heard Seiken Densetsu 4 (Dawn of Mana) sucked.



Most of the World of Mana compilation have already been released I believe. There's a tactical RPG and some other stuff, but frankly not much interest from me.

You should go on and play the REAL golden thing from the series: Secret of Mana!
Title: Re: New Video game releases!

Secret of Mana was amazing. The only one I've played and I loved how unique it was. I hear most of the Mana games have been bad lately though.

I can't speak for the others, but Sword of Mana has long cutscenes with no way of skipping through them; replaying it wouldn't be so bad if I could skip the story.

I was trying to dig up a Pokemon topic, but this will do just as well.

I really need to start visiting Psypokes more, because GameFreak announced not too long ago that the fifth generation Pokemon games were coming to Japan this fall.  Which probably means we can expect Gen. V to hit U.S. shores in 2011.  Until then, HeartGold and SoulSilver are being released in America on March 14 (March 25 for Australia and March 26 for Europe).  And until Valentine's Day, you can bring in your copy of Diamond, Pearl, or Platinum to GameStop to receive a Pikachu-colored Pichu.  Details here (http://www.gamestop.com/gs/content/Pokemon_Pichu.pdf?affid=3000&WT.mc_id=012610nl) (opens to a PDF file, courtesy of Psypokes (http://www.psypokes.com)).

While I'm at it, Final Fantasy XIII is being released March 9.

Anywho, Dante's Inferno is looking pretty interesting. I might check that one out. I mean, how many games put you inside Hell itself?
Title: Re: New Video game releases!
Post by: Hi no Seijin on February 10, 2010, 06:13:20 AM
Disgaea.  Well, they call it the Netherworld, but I have no doubt that it's supposed to represent Hell, what with it being populated by demons and Celestia being populated by angels.

Also, Bioshock 2. It looks so good. I really need to finally play through Bioshock.

Also, there's a really cool special edition of Bioshock 2 (for the PC, at least) at Best Buy: It includes the game itself, a 180 gram vinyl record with the original Bioshock's soundtrack on it, a CD with the Bioshock 2 soundtrack, and three replica posters from Rapture, all in a big box. This is probably the first PC game ever to be bundled with a freakin' vinyl record. $40 more, but I'd totally buy it if I had the money.

I loved Bioshock but I think I am going to wait a bit before deciding whether to get Bioshock 2. From what I've heard so far they have toned down the parts I loved (i.e. the plot) and worked more on the shooter elements, and though that was kind of fun in Bioshock, it is not what I enjoyed about the game. I would like to try the multiplayer though, apparently it is better than most expected.

I got Mass Effect 2 CE when it came out and loved it. And since I realised I had enjoyed that, ME 1 and KOTOR I thought I would give Dragon Age a try (common link being Bioware). that game is just amazing. So now I am looking forward to ME 3 and DA 2. But I think both are scheduled for 2011 and later, so I'm waiting for the Awakening expansion of Dragon Age, March I think.

Not sure if this really qualifies, but there's a Jirachi event coming soon to Gamestop.  It'll have unique moves and items, and when traded from Diamond/Pearl/Platinum to HeartGold/SoulSilver, it'll reveal a secret.

Wikipedia tends to be my source of new games coming out when I bother to check.

Oh, hey, Ragnarok Online DS came out today/yesterday.  Finally, an MMO that made its way to a console so I don't have to deal with the MMO.

Sorry for the double post, but GameStop is holding the Jirachi event from today until March 13.  Receive it into Diamond/Pearl/Platinum and trade it over to HeartGold or SoulSilver to reveal a secret.

Volt tackle? Not any different? Okay, first it unlocks the notched eared pichu in Ilex forest in the next game, Also using that pichu you can breed almost any electric pokemon with volt tackle. So don't say it's no good.

But Jirachi isn't a very good pokemon. I'm only going to get it because I want the event it unlocks in the next game. I really don't need a third one.

Oh, yeah that's true.

Pokemon Heart Gold Soul Silver is out today, I will be getting it in a little while and I need some help trading a plethora of pokemon over to it so if anyone wants to help it will be...

Helpful.

Anyway I'll also tell you what I think of it when I get back with it.

Time to revive this topic.  Why?  Because when I was browsing through the Psydex over at Psypoke, I saw an ad for a new Final Fantasy spin-off game, and when I took a look at the site, I began to love it, and now I have to share my find with all of you.  While I'm at it, I'll take a look at the games that caught my interest at E3 and see if they have release dates yet.

The game I saw being advertised over at Psypoke?  Final Fantasy:  The 4 Heroes of Light.  From what I can tell, it's not a FFI remake, but it sounds like it could be.  Even so, it looks awesome, and it has a day and night system similar to Pokemon, and plenty of jobs.  It comes out for the DS on October 5 (October 8 for Europe).

While at Wikipedia, I looked at other upcoming FF spin-offs, and they're working on a Dissidia 012 (or Dissidia Duodecim).  The original cast will be returning, with the addition of Kain Highwind (FF IV), Tifa Lockhart (FF VII), and Lightning (FF XIII).  Dissidia 012 will be released sometime 2011.

Another upcoming FF spin-off is codenamed Fortress.  It's still in development, but assuming Wikipedia's information is accurate, it will be set in Ivalice.

Epic Mickey is set to be released on November 30.  Golden Sun: Dark Dawn will be released November 29.  Kirby's Epic Yarn will be released sooner, on October 17.  Finally, Kingdom Hearts Re:coded has a Japanese release date of October 7; I'm hoping a North American release is close behind it.

I give it a month before the release.

For the reason of "We think the fans deserve better than what we're putting out, so we're going to make it better."

Then it'll go into another 5 years of developement.

That is what I meant. Sorry for the misunderstanding.

Anyway LovePlus for the 3DS looks cool, maybe you can use the motion controls to look up the girls skirts. Since it certainly seems like the motion controls will be used that way.

Also HNS it's a dating sim... But's it's more of a "Virtual Girlfriend" game, rather than a straight out Dating Sim/Visual Novel Game.

Speaking of which, I wonder if UnisonSoft is going to release a new game anytime soon.

*Zips off to website*

Also, to quote Doujin work...

Tsuyuri: "We're going to go buy a game."

Najimi: "Knowing you guys, it's a perverted game, isn't it?"

Justice: "Yes."

Tsuyuri: "But it makes you cry too."

Goldeneye is the first Wii game I've been legitimately interested in for years.

Kirby looks cute, though.

Also, PORTAL 2, APRIL 11 2011.

YES

I disagree. While I felt the ending to be anticlimactic (the epilogue made up for it, though) and that the creators seem to have explicitly disregarded the Prime trilogy's place in canon, it was a good game.

Besides, you can't deny the hype that was building for the game before its release.

I actually didn't feel too much of the hype.

I went and got it for around $30 played throught it and just found it unsatisfying, it couldn't deliver the way the 2D games do with 3rd person and how the Prime games did with first.

It's like it was stuck in a sort of... Mediocre limbo.
Title: Re: New Video game releases!

The last Wii game I really looked forward to was SSBB, but it was rather... underwhelming, I guess. It's fun, but I think it's pretty overrated. :/

After that... nothing particularly struck my fancy. Other M looked interesting, sure, but Metroid is one of those several series that's kind of stuck in limbo to me -- I'm interested enough in them to consider trying them but never enough to follow through on it, and my money goes toward games I know I'll play. (Assassin's Creed and Call of Duty are two other such series.)

As for Super Mario Galaxy 2, I loved the original, but other games and systems took up my time and I never got around to finishing it, so I never checked out the sequel.

Now, Goldeneye... I love the N64 game. Now they've remade it for a semi-modern console with online play and a cool controller to go with it? Hell yeah I'm interested. But will I buy it? Hard to say...

Sure, I've considered it. But the main thing keeping me from it is... well, you're the only person I know who seems to do anything with it any more. All the other friends of mine who had the game, hacked or not, have moved on to better things. I did too, really.

Heck, I never updated our Wii's firmware because I planned to put the Homebrew Channel on it, but I never did. That was FOREVER ago, too. Just... never bothered...

Maybe.

Does it's concept art look like every other RPGs ever?

Yes.

Does it seem awesome? Yeah, since there seem to be two different main characters who don't interact much throughout the story. One of the Main characters seems to be a Medical Student!

It looks like the 3DS has a set release date of February 26, 2011 in Japan.  We can expect it March 2011.  Supposing, of course, there are no delays.

Kingdom Hearts Re:coded, however, will definitely hit stores January 11, just in time to miss it for Christmas.

Crysis 2....

oh my god.  Most amazing game I've ever played.   Crytek has really gone the extra mile on this one.

Intro Video (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xLKv2lVasoo)
Title: Re: New Video game releases!
Post by: Twilight Wolf on April 18, 2011, 06:31:48 AM
I don't mean to be a downer, but... honestly, I was altogether unimpressed by what I've tried of Crysis 2. The multiplayer demo runs just as poorly on my computer as Crysis 1 does. Good job, Crytek -- if I need someone to optimize my game for best performance I know who to call. Like, do you actually want your games known for being hard to run? Really? You think that's a good thing? Thumbs-down.

And what's with the video settings? "Gamer," "Advanced," or "Hardcore"? Talk about confusing. I mean, what the hell are any of them supposed to mean? They couldn't just offer "Low," "Medium," or "High," at the very least? For that matter, why can't I just adjust individual settings like I could in Crysis 1? In Crysis 1 I could adjust everything. Thumbs-down for that backwards move.

Actual gameplay? Heard from various people the multiplayer is basically just a Call of Duty clone. I have limited experience with Call of Duty, so I can't say for sure whether they're right or not, but it felt like... bland, I guess? It's also very difficult to tell enemies apart from friends as the teams are colored white and... light yellow? Seriously? From a distance, they look almost identical. Brilliant once again, Crytek. Multiplayer's actual gameplay gets a thumbs-down overall from me -- pity because the game mode the demo came with sounded promising.

Overall, I am not impress.

Also, Portal 2 in less than 18 hours. GameStop midnight launch again! :D

I'm not trying to take away from it if you enjoyed it, Tach. I apologize if it came across that way -- all I wanted to do was voice my view on it since you brought it up.

Also, PORTAL 2 IS AMAZING. The single-player story is super fun and very well-written. The dialogue is perfect, and it's hilarious at times, and I love seeing some of the behind-the-scenes parts of Aperture Science. I haven't even tried the co-op yet.

The Steamworks integration with the PS3 version is super neato, too. I love being able to talk to Steam friends from my PS3.

Time to drag this topic back out.

I tried out the Metal Gear Solid 3D demo, and I didn't like it.  It wasn't because I was failing at the stealth part (though I was failing at the stealth part); it's the camera that killed the experience for me.  Instead of staying centered behind Snake at all times, it was stationary and had to be moved manually with the A, B, X, and Y buttons, and it was frustrating to operate, especially when I failed at the stealth parts and had to fight my way out of the situation.  Instead of giving my full attention to my enemies, I had to run around them, trying to dodge their bullets, and at the same time I had to move the camera around so I could try to see where I was running and who I had to take out.  It was a bad sort of chaos that had me wishing for the Resident Evil controls.

With that said, I hope Nintendo has a Kid Icarus: Uprising demo available in the next couple of weeks.

That looks like a good game.

The Playstation Blog (http://blog.us.playstation.com/2012/02/09/how-to-download-psp-titles-to-ps-vita/) has a list of PSP titles available for download on the PS Vita.  Kingdom Hearts: Birth By Sleep isn't on the list, but more games will be added, and I would be surprised if KHBBS didn't make it on there.

This list has made me feel better about the Vita, which will not have a UMD drive.  Most of the games I wanted to get for the PSP is on the list, and the one game I was really worried about not being on there, Wild Arms XF, is on the list.

Oh, hey, let's not forget, Japan's getting Kingdom Hearts: Dream Drop Distance next month!  I really hope we get it in time for the holidays, because that's what I'm going to ask for Christmas this year.

Square's saying they're opting for a rapid development cycle in the localization department. It's probably wishful thinking on my part, but it probably won't be unreasonable to assume we'll get it before Christmas rolls around. Hey, we may get it in September, which are the months we got 358/2 Days and Birth by Sleep. Since the game celebrates the tenth anniversary of the series (man, every celebrated game series is having an anniversary these days), it's in their best interest to release it in the same year.

It's a port, yes.  But the HD re-release for PS3 and 360 used the improved version of the game and the camera system that came with it.

Seems lazy for them to revert back to the old camera now.

Hi no Seijin beat me to it, but here's a couple pictures to whet your appetites.  It appears to be Kyurem fused with Zekrom and Reshiram respectively.

Sequels?
Really? Wow.
I don't think they've ever really done that for the main games have they? And for the DS? What in the world XD

In any case, yeah. Most if not ALL of the fifth gen pokemon looked absolutely horrible. Nothing like pokemon should be. I really don't want to buy black OR white... But seeing as how the next official games are SEQUELS of the two... I don't know if I have much choice. Still really hoping for Pokemon Stadium 3DS. 

Also! 9 more days until Naruto Ninja Storm Generations hits shelves =D

<-- is excite.

Didn't know you were excited for that game.  I've got mine on preorder already.
Title: Re: New Video game releases!
Post by: Deku on March 04, 2012, 11:51:12 PM
Yeah, mine's pre-ordered with $45 down on it.

When I pre-ordered, the chick behind the counter said, "Wow, yet ANOTHER pre-order for this dorky little game." The other guy behind the counter with her asked what game, and when she told him, he was all like, "Uhh, that's gonna be an amazing game." She looked at him shocked, and he shrugged before continuing. "The Ninja Storm games sell out so fast that you pretty much have to pre-order them. I don't even like Naruto, but the Ninja Storm games are really fun."

I didn't know they were best-sellers, probably because mine is always pre-ordered and pre-payed. I didn't know they couldn't keep the game on shelves. I'm really excited for the new "substitution meter", which limits the amount of times you can substitute in a certain time span. Ninja Storm 2 was just sub after sub after sub. It appears that they've also sped up gameplay a lot, which is great news. It's the sole reason I prefer SSB Melee to Brawl. Really excited for it- what system are you buying it for? Maybe we could fight online.

Xenoblade isn't on your list, Gamefreak?

I wish they'd been making games like it all along. Definitely the next thing I play on the Wii after I...get around to finishing Skyward Sword...

Speaking of Xenoblade, I need to cancel my preorder on Nintendo.com. Because it was listed as a backorder.

And I'm pretty sure the GameStop by MSU's campus has it in stock.

Release date is in April! At least we have a release date, that's really all I wanted :D

Fire emblem Kakusei apparently also features double battles, where you can gang up on an enemy.
It'll certainly make it easier to train those frail units to become your BA's at the end of the game.

The sequel for The World Ends with You also sounds cool.
Title: Re: New Video game releases!
Post by: Deku on April 23, 2012, 02:16:05 PM
Apparently, there's more. I was at work the other day, and our bus-boy is a serious Fire Emblem fan. He's been keeping up with it more than I have, and there are a couple of rumors he passed on to me. His rumors usually turn out to be true- he gets his info from places like IGN and Kotaku.

Fire Emblem Rumors:

+ The game takes place a couple of years after Fire Emblem: Shadow Dragon.

+ The game will feature unlockable characters from other Fire Emblem games (even characters that don't fit in that part of the timeline). We're assuming that you can unlock them by beating the game on a certain difficulty level. Some of the unlocks include Clea, Lyn, Marth, Ira, and Roy.

+ He also said that the game is probably going to have DLC, including new maps and episodes.

I am excite.

Also, in case some of you don't visit the Games section of the forum, check this (http://m.ign.com/articles/2012/04/12/miyamoto-wants-new-link-to-the-past) out!

As we already knew, Miyamoto is interested in revisiting A Link to the Past. Well in this fairly recent article, they're speculating that Miyamoto might have something to say about it at the upcoming E3! Darn you IGN, for building hope up inside of my gut :P
Title: Re: New Video game releases!
Post by: MagmarFire on April 23, 2012, 06:34:21 PM
All I can say is that Skyward Sword delivered a very engaging and heartfelt story and has had me clamoring for more. If they satisfy my hunger for that in whatever they have in mind, I'll be happy.

Just keep doing what you're doing, Zelda team.

Really?  Lyn is a rumored unlockable character?  Awesome.  I heard that Innes, from The Sacred Stones, was going to be in there as well.  I think my source was either My Nintendo News or 3DS Buzz, over on Google+.

As for the DLC, I'm fairly certain that's not a rumor.  Fire Emblem: Awakening will be the first 3DS game to utilize paid DLC.

Also, 3DS owners, in case you haven't heard already, a system update will be available tomorrow (April 25).  Among other things, you will now be able to organize your Home menu with folders.

Innes!? I loved Innes! He was probably the second best sniper out of every FE game I've played.
Also, the folders will certainly be a welcome change. My desktop is full of folders :P
I'm a folder maniac as my friends say.

The gameplay didn't even look fluid. It doesn't look as finely tuned as a Smash Bros title, and because of that I think it's destined to fail.

Actually, if you don't count PCs, the Fable series is an Xbox exclusive, and with Rare being owned by Microsoft, they could throw in Banjo.  Of course, with Nintendo using third party characters in Brawl, Microsoft could do the same as well.
Title: Re: New Video game releases!

I did enjoy the Fable series... But the idea was that they don't have much else going for them.
Nintendo has more exclusively popular titles, Sony in second place, and then there's Microsoft. I can't call much to mind except for Gaylo :(

Ratchet
Jak
Sly
Murray
Cole McGrath
Nathan Drake
Nathan Hale

Still, they better put Zelda's SS look in and had better not make Link low tier, or else there will be pain. XD

Honestly, I think Ghirahim would be a good Smash character.  Have him doing his standard sword attacks, plus he'll have those range attack things.  Have his Final Smash be Demise, and you're good.
