Rival Schools 2 was amazing. I'd be down for a new one.


Funny - remember when the "traditional 2D" took a momentary back seat to "3D" fighters like Virtua Fighter, DoA, etc. and now most games are taking it back to traditional 2D.

Kalyx triaD 08-04-2016 08:33 PM

Rival Schools was mostly 2D in function. Fun game.

Actually starting to get really hyped for Final Fantasy XV. Read an interview a while back, where instead of the usual big corpporation non-answers, dude pretty much said "yeah final fantasy has been shit for a while".

I'm paraphrasing, but point is, what I've gotten from everything I've been reading and watching, is that they genuinely want to make a good ff and bring prestige back to the franchise.

On a somewhat unrelated note, I really want a console Dissidia. Vita is dead in the water, and ff isn't going to save it. Bring that shit to ps4 sony!

Why would you rename your company to a name that sounds like you're the subsidiary of a dead company?

Especially one that died due to bankruptcy caused by an insane amount of debt and years of financial struggles.

If they just renamed themselves as "THQ", it wouldn't be so bad.

Or even as "Nordic THQ".

But "THQ Nordic" is a strange one to me. :-\

They made good games but invested in bad tech/peripherals that didn't pan out. If they stuck with good games they would be in business today. So, good games will help this brand succeed and make people forget about Pictionary/UDraw.

I'm hugely bummed since I may have to delay getting it. Gravity Rush 2 is out the day after and playing remastered compared to the XV demos means I'm really going to have to make a tough decision.

Actually might depend on the price as I pre ordered FF before our currency shit the bed.

Final Fantasy XV, Square Enix’s upcoming console RPG, was set for a September 30, 2016 release date before it was recently delayed to November 29, 2016. Previously, the game would have been released during the same month as Persona 5 in Japan, which is set for a September 15th launch.

Seemingly as a result of FFXV‘s delay, Persona 5 has experienced a significant boost in terms of pre-orders fulfilled on Amazon Japan, making it the second most popular product in the video game “Best Sellers” rankings.

Self contained thing. There's some nods, like in 4 they go to the school in 3, but they're very separate.

it's mostly like FF where there's some overarching things like the Velvet Room and the use of tarot cards, but story wise it's new every time.

They announced a new Metal Gear set after V!

Well, V Ground Zeroes...

Quote:

IGN can exclusively reveal Metal Gear Survive, a four-player stealth co-op game set within the Metal Gear universe, due for release on Xbox One, PS4 and PC in 2017.

Set directly after the events of Metal Gear Solid V: Ground Zeroes, Survive sees the members of Militaires Sans Frontières not killed in that game’s finale transported through wormholes into an alternate universe, where they’re forced to battle a force of crystalline zombies and, it seems, at least one Metal Gear itself.

“Metal Gear Survive will offer a fresh take on the series’ famed stealth elements,” said Konami European president, Tomotada Tashiro in a press release, “but within a unique co-op setting that is designed for a truly engrossing multiplayer experience.”

Survive will be the first full Metal Gear game made after the departure of series creator Hideo Kojima, and Konami has been unclear as to how much, if any, of the original Kojima Productions team will be working on the game.

While Big Boss appears at the beginning of the game’s trailer, it remains unclear whether he, the Snake clones, or any recognisable characters from Kojima’s games will appear in the core game. However, Konami does make clear that this is “a new addition to the Metal Gear Solid V experience”.

Konami has revealed few concrete details about the game at this point, barring a teaser trailer (above), but it will be built for four-player co-op play, and will have players using brand new weaponry to fight off enemies. A Konami fact sheet refers to the game as “survival done the Metal Gear way”.

The zombie-like enemies shown are referred to by Konami as “biological threats”, and mention is also made of teaming up to take down “massive threats”, which could potentially be the Metal Gear heard at the end of the trailer.

Going by the trailer itself, the game appears to involve scavenging for resources from the destroyed Mother Base, parts of which have been sucked through and scattered out of the wormholes that transported the game’s central MSF characters.

Survive will use the same FOX Engine that powered both instalments of Metal Gear Solid V. Konami will release more information following Gamescom, and we’ll update you as soon as we find out more.
Trailer at the link. I'll embed a YT one when it pops up.

Yeah Duke Nukem Forever was easily THE worst purchase of a game that I have ever made. There's actually an achievement/trophy in the game for picking up a piece of waste out of a toilet with his bare hands that pretty appropriately sums up just how awful it is.

Worst of all I actually sprung for the Balls of Steel edition...whoops.

Battlefield 1 feels like a cross between Battlefield 4 and Battlefront. It's more accessible than BF4, but has enough depth to the gameplay where it's still challenging. They found a really good balance here.

On that note, I really hope battlefront adopts this gameplay.
