The rumors were really brief but it did lean on the game being just team-based PvP for gameplay. Clan support was also listed and previously Blizzard did state they were trying to make it as different as their other big MMO game, World of Warcraft.

If that's not a description that'll get you pumped, I don't know what is.

Hehe.

The remake of the first one wasn't bad, and II was my fav Double Dragon of them all. I'll get a demo and check it out

The end credits song of DD: Neon was amazing.

Oh boy, now I can die on crappy platform segments 100 times in gloriously remade he graphics.

It's quite different, really.

It is more fun than the originals, give the demo a spin ;)

The legal problems involving the Killer Instinct trademark have been settled recently with Fox and Microsoft agreeing to let each other use the trademark.

While it probably means no Killer Instinct 3 coming any time soon, it does clear the way for the possibility of the original game(s) arriving on XBLA in the future.

http://www.screwattack.com/news/fox-...inct-trademark

I don't see how it would stop KI3, as long as it was a game and not a tv show.

Microsoft and/or Rare haven't been interested in making one in years and that was before the legal issues. Think all the rumors about a potential KI game usually pointed at a XBLA version of the original showing up first.

I think it was poor wording.

Anyway, I wouldn't count on there being a new KI any time soon.

Yeah, I'm not expecting KI anytime soon.

The Double Dragon II Remix is just awful.

Daily Gaming News:

Good for Halo 4. Hated grinding for armor pieces.

Capcom asked a studio that contained some people to work on Metroid Prime to do the same for Megaman.

http://cdn1.sbnation.com/uploads/cho...ema_1920.0.jpg

Yup.

Any other company, I'd think this was a leftover April Fools joke.

Oh Capcom, you so wacky.

Hooray it's official now. The trailer was mostly interviews with a couple of the magazine's pics thrown in, I tried to post it but it didn't want to cooperate.

Awesome it's coming out this year.

However, I am kinda worried that another team is doing development. Played the first Prototype and I enjoyed it. So.......

This needs its own thread now.

Yes sir, coming right up.

That Batman game's gonna be meh, Eric Holmes is not a good match for Batman.

Stop being a Droford.

pfft

So they ended up dropping the idea for the 60s/retro style Batman?

Vintage Capcom.

Videos of the cancelled Megaman game which was going to be called Maverick Hunter. They are being taken down pretty fast so, watch it while you can:

This one is probably an unfinished level, which is why the look doesn't match the others.

Yeah looks pretty gay. Don't see the point of turning megaman into an FPS.

That's where the money is. It's as simple as that. I miss seeing things like Space Station Sillicon Valley, Skullmonkeys and Rakugakids. Now it's all FPS games and macho US marines either in the desert, in a post-apocolyptic world, in space or some combination of the three.
Even main characaters are the same bland repetiting formulas. White male between 25 and 35 with short black hair.

There is more brown and crap in modern games than in an overflowing sewage plant.

I was under the impression that even some of the big FPS IPs aren't doing anything special in sales. It's all a futile attempt to tap into that rabid COD fanbase, which typically "only" plays COD.

A Megaman FPS would go over even worse than that XCOM one.

Turning into a shooter predates the success of the current CoD sales deal. It's done in part because they're relatively cheap and easy to make compared to other genres. Especially since there's toolkits specifically built for making them.

AAA shooters have absolutely ridiculous budgets though, the latest Crysis, Halo, and Killzone are all up there as some of the most expensive games ever made and are heavily marketed. Do the shittier, extra brown shooters even have a chance to compete with that in the current market?

Poundland are selling Flight Simulator 98 for £1 and you get Motocross Madness 2 free. Any takers? :shifty:

Most of them haven't done that bad for themselves. They're not going to get CoD sales, but what is?


If Patcher says the sky is blue, it's probably caught fire and burning a bright orange.

Farming Simulator 2013 is coming to xbox.

Just thought everyone should know.

Is that a thing, like the hunting games?

I bought a 3DS XL last week and while browsing the eShop, was amazed to see it there too.
