Microsoft set to release updated version of the Xbox 360 controller on November 9 with a new color scheme for the buttons and a "customizable" d-pad to make fighting games easier to play than on the older controller.

The only catch is the new controller will only be available with Play & Charge kits and priced at $64.99.

Well said, even if its been said here before by Kalyx the hypocrite.

Glad it's final. Now you can shut up about it. Having the Penny Arcade guys agree with you, which is more on personal reasons than ethical doesn't make you any more correct.

I love PA, but they're missing a lot and justifying it. Like Kalyx the Hypocrite would.

One more point on this, that people with a brain might read, is that you and PA both took a very strict look at the term customer. Part of the problem is that the customer base for a media is larger than that. It includes people lost and people they wish to gain. This is an attempt to expand the customer base by the very literal auspie definition Kalyx Tarded and Gabe and Tycho use for the argument.

But trading in used games was never free cash. There's no such thing as a free lunch, and there's no such thing as free games. Since these games pump money back into the gaming "economy," even for the purposes of other games by the same company, you need to factor in those "customers."

I wonder if they buy all their cars and houses new, too. Same argument, different media. I know people try and justify that disconnect, but let's be honest: Knowing a contractor doesn't make you buy new houses instead of old ones. Knowing an engineer doesn't make you buy new cars.

Some damn fine games weigh in at under 4 gigs of used disc space. Doesn't mean any less work has gone into it.

I would gladly spend more on the under 4gb Burnout Paradise than the stupidly boring and large FF13, for instance.

I love BP enough I bought it and some of its content twice. Granted, the second time was at a reduced price, but neither time was it "used," so they saw my money.

Except there's a difference between not using the character and not using the likeness of the actor. You can use Marty McFly from Back to the Future, James Bond from James Bond, and Die Hard from Die Hard without the permission of the actors....You just can't make them look like the actors.

Which is hilarious, because he's entering a thread made by someone on ignore to post news posted by someone else on ignore, and most of the comments are from people he has on ignore.

It's been awhile since we've heard anything on the Devil May Cry front, and while Capcom isn't ready to announce anything just yet, Keiji Inafune is willing to drop a few hints.

In an interview with 3D Jeugos, Inafune admits that the series doesn't do particularly well in Western markets. With that in mind, it's likely that the games will be given a "Western touch" to make them more attractive to American and European players.

While it's not a confirmation that the game is in development, it's an interesting comment based on what we've previously heard. Rumors have been floating around for some time that Cambridge, England-based Ninja Theory has been working with Capcom on the upcoming sequel. The developer, who had worked on the PlayStation 3-exclusive Heavenly Sword, will ship Enslaved later this year.

Maybe Ninja Theory really is working on the game...

Faggot shit.

Turns out the Telltale game is just poker. Disappointed. $4.99 for PC and Mac.

So is it an Arcade game?

Poker with Strong Bad and Max > Halo Reach/CoD Black Ops.

Pre-Ordered.

How do poker games get full discs these days? Poker is a minigame at best in 432634568523 games and an arcade/psn title at worst.

Original Xbox game Oddworld: Stranger's Wrath is getting an HD remake set for Spring 2011 release date. The game is currently set just for the PS3 with no word on Xbox 360 version even though the Oddworld series was exclusive to the original Xbox.

The irony about the game is how the original Xbox game is not compatible with the Xbox 360.

Can't say I was ever really interested in Stranger's Wrath.

According to some reports, the original developers of the Xbox series of Oddworld were supposed to make 5 games in the series for the Xbox starting with . They decided to drop from the video game industry after a fallout with either Microsoft or EA over the direction of the series.

Microsoft bought the series to be exclusive to the Xbox but only published Abe's Odyssey and EA wanted their game to be heavy in 1st person shooter while the previous Oddworld games were more heavy in puzzles and action.

The remake that is being made is meant to either restart the series that never got finished or expand it beyond just the original Xbox. The remake will be the exact same game but in HD and some type of Move support and extras.

World Series of Poker games were pretty good. Dunno why they stopped making them.

There's more than 1? Like, what I'm saying is why would you make more than 1? Other than graphics, GUI and music, what exactly would be different about 1 game in the series compared to another? The rules of poker don't change and it's not a game dominated by action, so what gives?

Not being an ass, I seriously would like to know what changes because I never got into the whole poker thing.

So what does a sequel to WSoP look like? Roster updates? Create a Gambler? High Def tells?

Wii version of Star Wars Force Unleashed 2 multiplayer video shown at PAX 10. The multiplayer fighting mode is heavily influenced by Super Smash Bros in appearance and play style.

The mode is exclusive for the Wii and allows up to 4 players to play but only playable in offline and not online as well.

Looks more like that shitty Ninja Turtles game than Smash Bros.

Been playing XenoGears, lots of reading.

Yeah, getting sick of all the reading in Dragon Age. Shit is ridiculous.

K... O!

Lead designer and important person in the development behind the Company of Heroes series killed in a car crash last Friday. Last game developed by him was Company of Heroes Online which was released only a couple of days ago (US release date).

According to the people in the other car who caused the accident, the driver decided during the middle of driving to take off her sweater while the passenger side held onto the wheel. Either she bumped the person holding the wheel or the passenger lost grip of the wheel to cause the crash.

Wasn't long ago that Kalyx was bashing "M$" And was one of those folks that Tycho was talking about.

Funny how that works.

You do know it was a joke right.

To be fair, you probably shouldn't breed.

Next month marks the 25th year anniversary since Super Mario was released in the US. As part of the celebration, Nintendo releases the logo design and will use it for anything Mario related later this year.

Last time this logo was used was for the GBA Micro when Mario was celebrating 20 years.

(The logo looks like Dissidia [duodecim] 012: Final Fantasy, so just a touch awkward, but regardless of the full title, it'll be fun to say out loud.)

Fans of the original PSP game will likely be excited by the roster additions in Dissidia Duodecim. Lightning from Final Fantasy XIII and Kain from Final Fantasy IV appear to be confirmed, going by the new issue of Jump.

Dissidia Duodecim: Final Fantasy may be making an appearance at next week's Tokyo Game Show, so we'll see if the sequel to 2008's Dissidia: Final Fantasy is still like doing your taxes on the moon.

Still a PSP series, dammit!

So... is the latest VF5 revision finally coming to PS3/Xbox 360? i guess this is the most close hint (it can be a whole new game anyway)."

This is possibly great news for anyone waiting for Virtua Fighter 5 Final Showdown to come home.

Looks like the latest VF will be coming home after all. With talk of the majorly updated engine, I'll wanna enter the fray and see what the big deal is.

It's still VF. You know what that means.

Maybe I'll experience a breakthrough.

Only thing that'll break is your controller when you throw it in anger.

Killing what extremely little hype I had for this game. Bad omen.

Rent, don't buy. SSF4 was a game with major changes from SF4, and I'm pretty sure if a guy hated SF4 he won't like SSF4 any more. Same with this shit.

I almost did that with SSF4. So furiating that game.

Surely there's some value we're missing. I just need a week or two with it to be sure. Maybe my past conclusions were overly harsh due to playing Tekken so much. I'm much more open to alternate gameplay now.

I promise.

I'm still waiting to play you in VF5, Kalyx
