If it is actually gonna teach people how to play guitar then I am not completely against it like I am with Guitar Hero.

I'd just like to point out that Nintendo did it first with the miracle piano btw

You can now replace PS3 blu-ray drives and re-marry them. Save yourself £200 from Sony.

Only if you never upgrade above 3.55 like some type of chump anyways.

Guitar Hero is just for fun. So sick of people bitching about not using real guitars. You don't play Call of Duty and expect to go rip shit up in Afghanistan right after, do you?

With Crytek’s Crysis 2 hitting store shelves next week, the company is ramping up hype for its next project, one that’s in development at its UK arm. Crytek co-founder Avni Yerli tells Develop that the unveil, which will likely make an E3 apperance, will make the gaming scene “very pleased.”

We come to mutual conclusions on projects, and I think at E3 this year – or just after – we are going to make a big announcement that I think people will be happy about.

The sentiment that “people will be happy” certainly seems to indicate that something is receiving the sequel treatment. Could it be a new TimeSplitters? One can hope.
Prior to being acquired by Crytek UK, Free Radical were working on TimeSplitters 4. Since then, the studio has expressed interest in reviving the franchise, though nothing concrete has come to light.

Yeah I know it is for fun, but that doesn't mean that I still don't think it is retarded. Call of Duty is pretty stupid too, but I don't feel as ridiculous holding a controller and pointing a gun around on screen than I do holding a plastic mini guitar with a little thing that you flick on it. Also, I barely know how to shoot a gun and I'm pretty sure I'm never going to get the chance to run around and kill people, so it's fun to simulate that. But I can play guitar. And it isn't that much fun to simulate something that I can already do. I understand that it is more fun for people who can't. But whatever.

There are lots of people who can play guitar, and still enjoy guitar hero.

Assman being an idiot as usual.

Diesel Mac, you're the one who always complains at people who tell you to "stop having fun" for playing the games you like. Maybe you should stop pretending that the things you like are the only things worth liking and that everything else is worthless. Go ahead and post a mindless response to this.

Recent survey sent by Sony to Ubisoft and other companies might have leaked out the official prices Sony is leaning towards for the NGP.

Based on the survey, the basic or Wifi NGP model will be priced at $250 and the premium or 3G NGP model will be priced at $350. The survey didn't have options for game prices but its assumed anywhere between $50 to $60 due to PSP games being $40 and NGP development costs being about 2-3 times higher.

If Sony sells the lower model for $250, they will lose out on a lot of money due to earlier reports rumored the NGP costing around $400-$500 to make. Also not announced was the pricing for the rumored subscription plan that was expected to subsidize some of the NGP production costs.

Did we ever figure out how many of Diesel Mac's posts were longer than two sentences?

Yes

When are they gonna learn that retardedly high processing power levels don't necessarily mean better consoles? Especially for handheld systems. Now they have to basically have the best launch line up ever to get everyone over the "PSP is shit" hump or they're gonna eat it hard.

Fatality

Ubisoft confirms Beyond Good & Evil HD will arrive on PSN at some point this May. Pricing for the game is expected to be $9.99 based on the XBLA price being $10 (800 MS points).

Bonus content for the PSN version will be 2 free avatar pictures for a customer' PSN account as long as the game is bought within the first two weeks of its release.

XBLA already received this game on March 2 as part of a small timed exclusive and the fact PSN still requires developers to pay for bandwidth or storage space.

River City Ransom 2 confirmed to be in development with a release in Japan this summer and potential news of a worldwide release at a later date.

The game is in early development but the studio behind the project, Miracle Kidz, hasn't announced which console(s) the game will arrive on. As of right now its not an exclusive or else it would have been confirmed in the initial press release.

Square-Enix announces that the Xbox 360 exclusive game has been officially halted and canclled. No actual reason by Square-Enix was given for the cause of the cancellation.

The game was set as a Third Person shooter and a mid to late 2011 release date before the cancellation was confirmed.

So will RCR2 be 3D or stay close to the original?

All for retro games. :y:

The website for the game showed off NES style sprites for characters.

Its safe to assume the sequel is going to follow the retro NES style for gameplay and not the modern "retro" or SNES/Cell-shaded like a few River City remakes were.

The world of Milo was shown off in a talk at GDC by Lionhead. It's a new engine they built, I believe. If Milo really is cancelled, they'll use this in other 360 games, I'm sure. Looks good.

Monday Night Combat is free on Steam this weekend...

The best version of Tetris was on the official site all along.

Sign up and send me a friend request (KalyxtriaD). The whole suite puts the last few console releases to shame, and it's all free and ready to stream. You have to watch ads between games but whatever.

No

Was playing Tekken 6 last night and started feeling it a bit.

Still not as good as VF5 and it's more pattern recognition on defines than anything special, but it's fun not playing at a high level.

Hacked PS3's can now use Kinnect as a controller.

Pointless, but kinda cool.

Got rid of like 90% of my videogame collection. Kept saying "oh I'll get to all those backlog games, and I'll go through the games I've beaten again, and play it a different way."

Was never gonna happen.

Instead of the usual announcement of the person or someone from the winning Super Bowl team for the cover of Madden, this year EA is holding a mini-tournament to find their next player for the cover.

Every team is represented by a player except if Seattle wins, then the fans (The 12th Man) would be on the cover. If the fans win, it would also be the only time non-players have been on the cover since the switch from John Madden to NFL players.

The fan voting takes place on ESPN Sportsnation website and ends April 27. EA is even holding bracket predictions that let you predict the whole bracket and join groups like the NCAA tournament on ESPN Fantasy games.

Concept art, videos, and other stuff related to a canceled Perfect Dark sequel game called Perfect Dark Core was released today. It turns out the project was in development once PD 1 was finished and only was canceled in 2009. The game would have let you pick between a male character or Joanna Dark but like Duke Nukem Forever, Rare had no clue on how what their final vision for the project would be.

The game was changed multiple times with the original change occurring when Rare canceled the Gamecube project, another when PD Zero was lackluster, and the final change somehow included a lot of mech-combat and scripted action scenes with no relation to anything in the Perfect Dark series.

Please let Jordan Gross win that Madden thing

I sure do hope The 12th Man from Seattle gets the cover...

A) Lie
B) Hat
C) Update for TF2
D) New type of special infected?

Hopefully the Internet would somehow purge those fucking meme faces and make the internet a more humorous and less morale draining.

it would come out of the desk

if you put it 1/3 of the way in, then that 1/3 will be coming out

once you put the whole thing in you're left with the single desk again

Didn't think it was possible but Activision found a way to be shittier in selecting a video game cover than EA when it announced its own Cover Tournament to find the character to be on the next Call of Duty game.

Most of the names are generic (ex. US Army Guy Backlit) and while Activision is allowing people to predict and "vote", its not a true fan voting system like EA's bracket using ESPN Sportsnation.

Activision's version of the fans spot in this bracket would be "asshole xbox live players".

Activision? In a good and hilarious marketing campaign?

I'm SHOCKED.

It doesn't make any sense. When you move the desk, the portal would vanish.

You realise this is just a kotaku joke right?

I did after noticing the Kotaku 2011 mark but not initially when posting the report. Kotaku's new layout makes it a bit tougher to view images than before.

Would not be surprised if Activision really did something like this for their next cover.

Capcom announces plans of bringing 2 past Resident Evil games to get the HD port/remake treatment. Resident Evil 4 HD and Code Veronica HD are expected to arrive on the PS3 and Xbox 360 in a single collection being called Resident Evil Revival Selection.

No new gameplay features or stuff will be added to the games but Resident Evil 4 is expected to get another Ada mission mode to go along with Assignment Aada and Seperate Ways.

If it does indeed occur, this would make Resident Evil 4 arrive for the first time on a Microsoft console (no Xbox version) and the 2nd time the game has been enhanced this generation (RE 4 Wii Edition).

It would also make it the 4th RE game in the series to have a remake/port this generation (RE 1, RE Zero, RE 4, and RE Code Veronica).

Things not looking good for Hudson after their buyout from Konami as Konami announces that three upcoming 3DS games from Hudson have been canceled to go along with a few others Hudson had hoped to release.

Included in the canceled games were Omega Five, Bonk, and Bomberman for the 3DS.

what're ya buyin

They might not be, according to Konami

http://www.destructoid.com/hudson-3d...d-197088.phtml

I played RE4 on the Wii and I can't imagine it being any better minus the Wii pointer. I never realy played Veronica so I'll like buy that at some point. I'd really like the first 3 up for download, though. I missed out on RE2 and 3.

How many RE games are there? Gunna look it up...

The only one of the main series I never finished was Zero. Probably still have the save file, but I never got very interested in finishing it.

Never touched any of the spinoffs. Had a roommate who had one of the Outbreaks, and it was fucking terrible to watch.

what're ya sellin

I'm hrnk frm rresrdnt evl

RE1
RE2
RE3
RECV
RE1 (Remake)
RE0
RE4
RE5

Should I not worry about the spinoffs and gun games?

I've heard the Wii gun games are ok, but everything else I'm not sure about. I think the Outbreak idea was cool in theory (co-op multiplayer on the PS2), but never worked well in execution.

The Wii gun are pretty decent, but story wise you're good with the core series. Also watch RE: Degeneration (CGI movie).

Actually... if you wanna get deep into the mythology perhaps the Wii games will do. They retread the first games with added elements and characters. Or you could wiki it.

Ranking time:

RE4
RE2
RECV
RE5
RE3
RE1
RE0?

I'll start playing these once I've finished all the X-Files games.

Haha I played the PS1 X-Files game in college. My girlfriend at the time was a huge X-Files nerd, and I did it just to appease her. It was god-awful; would have never completed it quickly without a walkthrough. I remember one part where there was a bullet I had to find that was like five pixels on the screen.

Can't remember if I played through the PS2 one or not. I think I did? I remember starting it for sure.

Ranking time:

RE4
RECV
RE2
RE3
RE1
RE0
RE5

Kinda surprised how close that is to mine. I really didn't like RE5 much at all, but gave it a better rating just on the merit of its co-op. Trying to forget how much it felt like a crazy expensive action-movie version of RE4.

Yeah I was unsure if it would be as 1 collection for NA like in Japan since it was only rumored to be made and just Japan getting it as a collection was confirmed before any news on a NA release.


RE 1 from Playstation 1 or the Gamecube's enhanced version?

Ranking Time:

RE: GC
RE: Deadly Shadows
RE: Directors Cut
RE (PS1)
RE (Sega Saturn)
RE (Game Boy Color)

SPEAKING OF RE!

Not liking the sound of this...

The survey for Forza 4 hints at a few new possible features the game will contain for the Kinect aspect of the game.

Choices from the survey include possible head tracking controls for viewing turns, a "casual" racing mode that lets players drive cars with their hands only, and voice controls for menu navigation.

Also hinted was the game to look about 10x better than Forza 3, a new campaign/challenge mode to increase the variety of races and challenges, and about 500 cars from 80 car companies to choose from.

A virtual tour mode also was hinted being voice controlled by Kinect for every car in the showroom.

Sony announces American PSN accounts are being switched over to a new branch in Sony to deal with the network aspect of the Playstation brand on April 1st of this year.

SCEA will no longer handle PSN accounts and instead everything is getting transferred to SNEA (Sony Network Entertainment America). The new transfer does mean new EULA's have to be accepted in order to continue using PSN online.

I don't have a PS3. Just a Wii and a 360. If they ever stick the games on XBLA, I'll be pleased.

I'll pass on RE:ORC, though.

Mortal Kombat vs DC Universe is $15 at eStarland if you buy it tomorrow

That is the new Mortal Kombat game right?

no, soz

ESRB leaked out info and details concerning Sega's upcoming Kinect game called Rise of Nightmares.

Similar to Splatterhouse and Bulletstorm, the game will be very gory and focused more on melee attacks in a horror theme/setting for story and gameplay.

The game is set for a late 2011 release date.

The developer working on the River City Ransom sequel confirms the game is set to arrive on Wiiware in Japan this summer. The game will also release on PC with a TBA 2012 release date which could also hint at when the game could be available outside of Japan.

The website for the game showed off NES-style sprites hinting the choice of system being the Wii due to XBLA mandating HD for all games (not sure if PSN has same requirement).

I didn't see that post there. I've just bumped the Kinect thread with the same story.

Ok something's up with my 360... Or LIVE account, either way.

So monday afternoon, I try to go on my 360, it shows all of the accounts on my HDD but my main account 'Funk Bro' isn't there, I then checked on the system's memory and found that the Gamer Profile was corrupt. So I then recovered the account and it all worked fine, started playing again.

Last night, I was just looking through my achievements to see which games I didn't really give a real chance. Then, WHAM! right between Dragon Age 2 and Fallout 3 is Fight Night Round 4, a game I have never played, it had 2 achievements in it too...

So Fallout was the main game I was playing before the release of, DA2. I had been playing DA2 before and after the recover.

I'm zoinked... Not sure if somebody has recovered my account somehow or something else...

sounds like someone got ahold of your account to me

Not quite sure why Turk is on the Sims Medieval ad, but I like it.

Even if there were no brothers back then.

BAM POISON UP IN YOUR BODY

Ok. I'm in a bit of a gaming dilemma. I want a 3DS but couldn't afford one at launch.
Now, I've done my "budgeting" from now until mid-June and I've worked out that I can either buy the LE of the new Mortal Kombat game (It's just a £10 extra) and then get the 3DS in mid-June or July or I can cancel Mortal Kombat and get a 3DS by the end of the second week in May.

I'm not totally sure which to do. Suggestions?

Having played the MK demo, I'd say 3DS with SF4 and the built in stuff all day long.

I enjoyed MK to a degree, but it's still like the 8th or 9th best fighting game on this generation of consoles.

I was leaning slightly towards the 3DS already but even more so now. I'll probably go for the 3DS and pick up MK later. I have plenty of console fighters anyway.

Yeah, the AR games rock. Gonna take a walk and get some play coins tomorrow and buy the sequel to the golf.

Love the end game of the AR fishing after going the shooting and golf :heart:

Monster Hunter for the 3DS confirmed to be in development after it was leaked of being rumored to be shown during this year's canceled Monster Hunter Festa. Capcom wanted to show off the game as the big announcement for the event but the recent earthquake forced them to cancel the event.

Since the next big convention is still months away and Nintendo's own conference planned with Capcom was also canceled, Capcom reports their big 3DS announcement will occur during April.

It is assumed this will be the official unveiling of Monster Hunter for 3DS due to everything else Capcom has planned was already announced before the event.

Namco could possibly be working on a set of new Katamari games based on recent searches of patent/copyright filings. The request by Namco was done on March 25 with Namco trying to lock rights to “Katamari Amore” and “Katamari Amore Rolling Whopper."

Time Crisis itself might be getting another game due to Namco filing a copyright request hinting at a new Time Crisis being developed as well.
