Look for NBA's 2k16 mode to be about "struggle", yo.

Yeah, the struggle of losing your career mode progress when 2k shut off the servers.

The struggle of not having enough "VC coins" to become a good player in the NBA

They should bring back Reggie Miller for the mode. Spike Lee hates (or hated) him pretty hard.

3DS version of first 6 MegaMans sounds fucking AWESOME!!! Do the same with X plz

Fignuts 06-09-2015 06:25 PM

Aren't they all available on the virtual console anyway?

I dunno, I've played all 6 so many times already that I can't justify paying for them again.

Only played X1-3 though, so I'd get an X collection.

The Zero games are vastly underappreciated as well.

#BROKEN Hasney 06-09-2015 06:31 PM

Or maybe even Megaman Legends 3, fucking Capcom.

#BROKEN Hasney 06-09-2015 07:07 PM

Halo 5 or Guardians or whatever the fuck it is has just announced it has no split-screen co-op.

SUCK A FUCKING DICK

#BROKEN Hasney 06-10-2015 05:28 AM

Good job co-op isn't a focus on this one. Not like you have 3 AI characters if you're playing single player.

Wait, fuck, you totally do.

They've tried to offset it by saying that you don't need XBox Live Gold for co-op online, but that's like saying "We have a product for those people who want to play co-op in the same room, it's called buying a second XBox One".

Kalyx triaD 06-10-2015 07:43 AM

I now wanna know the full extent or lack thereof in regard to splitscreen. Splitscreen Halo is first and final for me and my boys and if this game pulls the same 1plyr per screen bullshit others do it may be a deal breaker. Destiny and Battlefield is one thing, Halo must allow me to play with four guys in offline and online games. All of us.

What the fuck is up with this generation?

From December:

However, GameInformer is saying that there is 0 split-screen for the campaign, so that's just standard MP.

On the plus side, Call of Duty Black Ops 3 IS having 2 player split screen campaign at least.

Kalyx triaD 06-10-2015 08:18 AM

Good for CoD players.

This is almost a deal breaker for me. Sadly, the pathetic limitation of modern couch multiplayer the last two generations has prepared me for this.

I demand answers, though. Why is Halo 5 not able to do something every other Halo did with one hand behind it's back. Was it a weakness of the devs? The Xbox One? Who's to blame for this?

Late Night News Edition:
 
Armature Studio which is handling the Wii U and Vita ports of Bloodstained stated they are working on getting the Unreal Engine 4 to run on both platforms. The plan is to get the customized engine to work on those platforms and then release the source code for free so that other developers can port their UE4 games to both platforms.

Only downside is the source code won't get released until some time after the game's release (early 2017).

Quote:

“Hi Bloodstained backers - Armature here with another update. It turns out that a people have shown a ton of interest in our plan to port UE4 to the WiiU and PS Vita. Since they're not officially supported platforms, it's going to be a lot of work to get Bloodstained and UE4 on these platforms, but we are up to the challenge.

“Since the community got these platforms off the ground, we figure that it's best to let the community have them back when we're done. As a result, after the release of Bloodstained we will share, for free, the UE4 WiiU and Vita code with any developer authorized to develop on those platforms! Thank you all very much for this opportunity!”

Devs not having 3 friends in the world?

Kalyx triaD 06-11-2015 03:22 AM

I dunno, man. It's just insane that Halo of all things went this route. Surely 343 knew the appeal of a splitscreen Halo. Or maybe they don't have buddies for couch play.

A new Sonic Boom being announced is great just for this image.

Way to ruin Sonic even more. And people wonder why Sega shut their doors, more or less.

So is this going to be a new "thing" now, people making giant announcements a week or two before E3?

I think since everyone is having a conference this year, some people did their announcements to stand out as there's going to be a lot to take in over the few days.

Think Sony/MS/Nintendo will have saved some at least. Nintendo Store is teasing that there will be 2 unannounced games playable in store during E3.

road doggy dogg 06-11-2015 09:23 AM

I kind of like when companies just have their own deal and make their big announcements there... I'm a big fan of the Blizzcon model

#BROKEN Hasney 06-11-2015 09:24 AM

Yeah, think Sonys PSX is an annual thing now as well, so we'll get stuff from them in December.

Halo franchise development director Frank O’Connor briefly addressed the change on the NeoGAF message board, part of a thread in which people were complaining about the change.

“It’s a bummer but 60fps had to take precedence,” said O’Connor. “It’s not just aesthetics- the entire simulation is built on that framerate.”
60FPS - there ya go.

alvarado52 06-11-2015 03:47 PM

Anyone planning on picking up Payday 2 for next gen? I loved the game, but didnt have enough people on my friends list who adopted it, making it kinda hard to play without pals

#BROKEN Hasney 06-11-2015 04:58 PM

Occulus had an event today. Will be out early 2016 with an XBox controller and some hand tracking controllers coming later. Can also play XB1 games, but in a stupid virtual living room.

Worst news is that some PC games are Occulus exclusive for VR, so you have to buy into their bullshit instead of something like the HTC Vive. Split the user base before it begins.

#BROKEN Hasney 06-11-2015 05:13 PM

Ultra SF4 for PS4 is fixed. Input lag is about the same as the 360 now. Thank the fucking lord.

Kalyx triaD 06-11-2015 05:16 PM

I must admit the Oculus 'hand controllers' is pretty slick. Would try once. Or twice.
