While Dead Space 3 and Call of Duty 3736 exists? Fuck that. I want thirteen FF13s.

Pretty sure there are 3 FFXIII games out already.

FFXIII
FFXIII-2
FF Type-0 (used to be called FF XIII Agito)

You're counting the cell phone game that was rebranded? So when Versus 13 comes out under a different name (very likely) you'll count that too. Interesting. So what really bothers you is the title on game packages?

EA announces a new Army of Two game is in development called "Army of Two: The Devil's Cartel" with a release date planned for March 2013 and the game itself being a "gritty" reboot for the series.

Unlike previous rumors stating 4 player co-op would be possible, EA reveals the new game is sticking to the traditional 2 player co-op like the previous games.

Other details include the game using the Frostbite 2 engine to have “the ability to unleash the power of ultimate destruction” while Visceral Games are developing the game instead of EA Montreal who worked on the first two games.

In terms of story, the game and setting will revolve around the Drug Cartel war occurring in Mexico.

In terms of being a reboot, EA states the game is "more intense, mature, and grittier tone" than the previous two games.

EA did not reveal if the original Alpha and Bravo characters are returning for this game or are being replaced with a brand new set of playable characters.

Daily Recap:
1) Even though several rumors since last year teased at the potential of a WWE All-Stars 2 being made, THQ squashed all rumors by stating the WWE only considered the game as a "one off" and never had plans for a potential series regardless of the sales.

3) Sony recently released their fiscal report for 2012's first quarter (April to June) which reveals the company itself lost $312 million in revenues with the Playstation division contributing $45 million of the loss from the poor Vita sales and sluggish PS3 sales compared to last year.

Paul Dini ain't coming back?! Wooooooow, huge blow to the series.

I hope they get someone to fill his shoes.

Oh man, they are remaking ROTT(Rise of the Triad) so happy right now.

Played that a long time ago. Don't really see what the hoopla is about but the fans seem happy.

Um, FFXIII Type-0 is for PSP. Before you start getting an attitude you should stop being an idiot.

and before you start crying it was announced for mobiles in 2006, it was changed to PSP in 2008 because it wasn't possible to develop what they wanted on mobiles at the time. That change came 3 years before release.

So when Versus 13 comes out under a different name (very likely) you'll count that too. Interesting. So what really bothers you is the title on game packages?

FF Type-0 and Versus have no actual links to the world of FFXIII or FFXIII-2 though. They were only named the way they initially were due to the Fabula Nova Crystallis project and because they were all announced at the same time. FF Type-0 is a standalone title (well, as standalone as a Final Fantasy game gets).

More bad news for Zynga with this time EA suing the company over claims of copyright infringement concerning the Sims franchise EA owns.

The issue revolves around Zynga's The Ville game which EA and Maxis claim is a direct copy of their Sims franchise with Will Wright himself leading the push for the lawsuit.

EA also wants the lawsuit to carry severe penalties both to stop Zynga from copying other companies game ideas and as a symbolic way to "settle the score" from other developers who have been upset at Zynga's tactics for years (without actually giving them any money should EA win).

Since you are the only person on Earth assuming Versus 13 is going to change names, right? And if the names on the package bothered me, I wouldn't count Type-0 as a FFXIII game. It seems that the name on the package bothers YOU. You're the one claiming it isn't a FFXIII game and holding on to it being a mobile phone game. I'm counting it for what it is regardless of the name on the package.

The link to FFXIII is the Fabula Nova Crystallis arc. They use the same mythology as back story, which is why all of the games are considered to be part of that arc.

Quoted for future lulz.

13, Type-0, and Versus mostly have shit to do with each other aside from a very vague connection using crystals that god knows how many FF games had in their own mythology.

See above.

You say there's too many FF13 games. There was actually two FF13 games, the original and the sequel. And now there will be another game with Lightning as the lead again. That's three. Type-0 is not a FF13 game in the same sense that Final Fight or Rival Schools are not Street Fighter games - though all three take place in the same universe.

Unless you were like, "Why is there another SF game?" when Rival Schools came out.

It's not an arc, the games just share the concept that crystals play an important role of some sort in each game's universe, which in itself ties back to the first Final Fantasy and several others. The mythology / world / characters are all completely unrelated.

Did some light editing on my last post, some gaffs there. I really need to slow down when I type. It's not Dro-bad but still.

Suikoden
 

Was wondering if anyone had a way to get my hands on Suikoden 2? I played the shit out of the first one. One of the greatest RPGs for me on the PS1. Was hoping to finally bridge the gap between 1 and 3 and play it.

Emulator.

I'm going to enjoy this, thank you.

Are you confusing me with someone else? I don't seem to recall saying there are too many FF13 games. And quit changing your argument anyways.

After going back, it seems as though I must either be Assman or Fignuts. Or perhaps some mindbengingly awesome conglomeration of the two.

At least in the mind of Kalyx, anyways.

That would be awesome.

Oculus Rift is going to be incredible with horror games.

Um noh the fact that even a sequel to piece of shit FFXIII was made was enough to infuriate me. I know barely anything about the other two

People not understanding the concept of two Final Fantasy XIII games already being too many

Cool @ rise of the triad

Suikoden is seriously terrible, what did you like about it

I know it's not a great game, but I had a good time building a castle from a shit stone place, and adding characters to my stable added a bit more to the community of the castle. Turn based old school feel I'm trying to hold on to.

Suikoden 1-3 are all great games. Assman just get's overwhelmed to easy and thought you needed too recruit all 108 people to beat the game, when you don't even need to and you get half of them just by playing the game.

I will admit Suikoden 1 had some issues, like only being able to run with a certain person in your party, but Sukioden 2 fixed a lot of the problems from one and has one of the best villains ever in Luca Blight. The stories in 1&2 are both fucking fantastic too if you actually pay attention to the game.

Yeah, I just need to complete the story, because back in the day when they were out on PS1, Suikoden II was damn near impossible to obtain w/o shelling out a ridiculous amount of money.

Don't forget Suikoden 5, which is pretty fucking awesome too (possibly better than 1.)

DO NOT PLAY 4.

I'm sorry if there's someone on here who likes 4... It's just bad thoughl.

I've played those as well, PS2 era.

Think I attempted to play Suikoden Tactics as well, but I didn't quite get into it as much as I smashed on Final Fantasy Tactics.

FF Tactics is way better.

Suikoden Tactics would have been better if based around a game other than 4.

I really want a Suikoden 6, but it probably won't happen.

I wouldn't mind another Suikoden game, it would be weird to see how it would be integrated into the current gaming world. Nonetheless, I'd buy it.

They would probably just make it one long hallway to "modernize" it :'(

It'll never, ever, ever happen, but a "modern" Suikoden could be fucking amazing. Like a game that happens in the same universe, but a good several centuries after the third game. You'd still have a few characters who could show up, descendants too, etc.

They'd have to have McDohl show up if they did that, because unless I'm mistaken, the Soul Eater Rune made him immortal right?

And it would have to open world, like 1&2, fuck any other kind of "world map".
