Good luck, fellas. Itagaki will be watching.

The new Team Ninja (not to be confused with Ninja Theory, who are currently making Itagaki laugh his ass off).

Looks nice. Not like Devil Made Me Cry.

Going to end up being a weird but amazing game when its done since Suda is well known for crazy gameplay and storylines while Mikami is well known for horror style gameplay (RE series) and action (Devil May Cry series).

:lol: at Mikami response to why they are working with EA.

Better answer than some PR line about 'expanding audiences', 'unique opportunities', and other shit like that.

Agreed. His candor is kind of refreshing.

Potentially fucking awesome.

Not gonna lie, that has really great potential.

Microsoft have strict rules about what Avatars can and cannot do. I can't see us having exsplosive cage matches or jabbing forks in each others eyes. I can't see them allowing anything other than the basic one on one and tag matches.
Weapons and gimmick matches would be too violent for the Avatars. Not saying the game can't be fun but I can't see having as many options as other FPW games had. I only ever played one game in the series, in Japanese, so I didn't get far.

Source.

Would a steel chair count as cartoon violence?

Such a fucking tease. Best hope is that this is successful and leads to a real firepro game. After 6 years, I still play FPR a lot, but the lack of a lot of moves that have come out in the meantime, is starting to take it's toll.

Want to hit someone harder than I did after DmC.

It's not going to have the depth of moves or anything that makes Fire Pro good bar the grapple system and I have about 5 decent Fire Pro games for that.

They could maybe try and say "Pro wrestling is a sport" as a loophole to get around the "no violence/maiming" thing. Sports are the only time Avatars can act hurt, after all.

Anyone that didn't checked XBLA out yesterday, Sonic Adventure is up for download.

As well as a completely random King of Fighters game.

Which isn't as good as the Gamecube or PC version which you can pick up probably cheaper.

Much more content on those.

It's one fucking dollar. Geez

360 owners in the UK can get a years gold membership for £23.99 for a limited time. Considering it's getting jacked up to £50 in November, I think it's a good idea to take advantage of the sale. I did.

The offer should be on the dashboard somewhere. Seems to randomly appear.

It's also shit. One dollar or not.

Dynasty Warriors 7 announced as a PS3 exclusive.


FUCK

Actually announced? Because DW 6 was an "exclusive" as well. Not saying you're wrong, just wanting details.

Don't know how I feel about the Fire Pro game. On one hand, I nearly crapped myself in excitement when I saw "Fire Pro Wrestling". And while I do trust Spike to put out something good, I can't see it being anywhere on par with traditional Fire Pro games. It looks more like it's geared for a more casual audience and will likely have an arcade feel to it.

That said, I'll buy it if only for the chance of another true Fire Pro or KOC game being released in the states. It's a good sign that they're making this, since they did say they would never make another wrestling game. Though that can be taken two ways. Either they're testing the waters again or it's not a true wrestling game, like Fire Pro or KOC.

As long as they go back to the original movesets I'll be thrilled, can't stand the changes in the last 2-3 of them.

5 was probably the best of the series (If you don't count Warriors Orochi 2). 6 was utter shit.

Hate how the online games ruined the continuity of the Final Fantasy series. There are a million Final Fantasy spinoff series like Crystal Chronicles and Tactics, why couldn't they just call it "Final Fantasy Online" and "Final Fantasy Online 2" or something.

When did they change the movesets, 6? I know 6, 6:Empires and Strikeforce all had the retarded, 6 unique movesets.

Activision considering an experiment on making cutscenes in a game a pay to play feature. The idea is to treat cutscenes from a game like a movie and since you have to pay to watch a movie in theaters or on dvd, you would have to pay to access the media or else you get nothing.

The plan would be around $20 to $30 just for the cutscenes on top of the normal prices for a video game. Activision did hint that this plan wouldn't be a reality until at least another 4-5 years or next console generation.

If for some chance it becomes successful, it wouldn't take long for the other big companies to join on this new money making scheme.

Ok, we all laughed at Cliff Blezinski when he suggested paying extra for game endings, and we ended up paying for online in used games...

I want to laugh so hard at the idea of paying for cutscenes since it's the one part of the game lots of people skip over anyway, but you never know. Especially since they're suggesting it for the next generation, which means they'd doubtlessly be near movie levels.

The only reason it's coming out at all is because MS commissioned it. If it sells well, they'll probably pat themselves on the back and say it was due to avatars and commision a sequel.

That said, I wonder if it plays more like KOC than FPW just because it's 3D. They may have called it FPW because it's a better known brand than KOC but who knows.

It might not play like either of them and just be dumbed down crap, mind.

Fuck that. I disagree with making people pay 10 bucks to play used games online, I get why companies are doing it tho, but this is just utterly retarded.

Totally. But, if they can screw for $10 now, they'll just keep edging up the price over the next 5 years so you won't even notice the fact the game is $90 in total so they get rich and still find a way to cry about piracy or used games or the fucking pope.

3's still a hallmark.

The only game with a significant change is 6, and I'm afraid theyll keep up that shit. I have a PS3, so I'll get it if they don't, but the shitty movesets, renbu system, etc., really killed that game for me.

APB is already dead. Holy fuck.

Damn.

Was pretty close to buying that, lol.

They should just release the code under the GPL or something and let the community build it. No reason not to do that, really. Other than reusing the engine.

Damn who saw the trailer for The Last Guardian. From the same team that made Shadow of the Colossus/ICO. Same art style and everything. Looks amazing

Yeah, pretty psyched for that.
