I agree, that's why I said that it should be supplemented by being able to buy the game flat-out with no extra charges.

See Also: Demon's Souls.

Onlive is going free. I forget where the link was, but I'm sure someone will post it even if I don't.

Roms?

From what I've heard, it actually works great. No lag or anything, even on a pretty well outdated machine.

Now that it's free, I think more will try it.

Oh BTW... a new handheld console was recently revealed!:

It's designed for online MMOs and the like specifically. It has a full keyboard along with a dpad and buttons. Has Panasonic learned anything from their 3DO days that they wanna share? Maybe, but note this is from a new subcompany of Pan, not the same 3DO guys obviously.

On one hand pretentious, on the other hand... Well online browser MMOs banked hard last year - this Jungle console may be on to something.

Yeah I tried a demo of Batman Arkham Asylum and it was flawless. And my computer isn't the greatest.

Holy shit yeah, just played a demo of Borderlands, and same thing. Flawless. Definitely getting this.

Was getting stuttering while doing the Just Cause 2 demo, probably my old ass router tho.

Captain America: Super Soldier (XB360/PS3):

Badass.

Yeah, I saw that on the Escapist. The original show is dumb, but the video is great.

Bungie tease their next game might be a shooter type MMO or at least a new series that takes place over a set world/universe similar to World of Warcraft.

Only problem in the entire plan would be if the game come out for consoles, Bungie would need a separate studio to work on the PS3 version due to lack of experience and Activision might need to buy another studio since all their other studios are tied up in other game franchises.

http://kotaku.com/5657115/halo-creat...next-big-thing

Yes, let's compare a game not even in development to WoW. That hasn't led to disappointment in the past.

Conceptually, there's nothing wrong with that. Not like they're saying it'll be a '_____-killer' or anything.

I'm very excited to see Bungie do something non-Halo.

To be fair, I was only trying to compare their idea to a more well known MMO because Bungie wants to create the game or series to take place over a certain world or universe. Probably will be more similar to their older Marathon and pre-Halo games than just being a Halo-like MMO.

Very unlikely the game gets made for the PC since they would be competing against Blizard's MMO and I doubt Activision wants to kill sales of the new game that quickly.

Meh. Black one looks better.

The actual news being a new Wiimote with built in Motion+. lol

Source.

Might go ahead and buy this if I can afford it. If I can't, it's no big deal as I bought Mario 1, 2 (Japanese 2 and our 2) & 3 on the VC. As well as SMW.

Black one with motion+ is still better.

Wrong thread.

So...Five years to gewt the Wiimote to do what it promised?

Boss of Epic Games believes the studio can't make any games on the upcoming Nintendo 3DS since he believes the Unreal Engine won't work on it. His claim is the 3DS is below the minimum specs for the Engine even though Epic in the past has modified the engine to work on consoles and the iPhone.

This isn't the 1st time he refused to commit any development to a Nintendo system since he said Epic wouldn't make any games for the Wii since he didn't feel it was worth the time. Before the Xbox 360, the studio refused working on handheld and console games since they don't believe in the idea of a water-downed engine.

Other companies like Capcom, Rockstar, Treyarch, and a few others have been able to modify game engines to work on almost every handheld/console/phone possible when before it was thought of as "impossible" or a waste of time.

This is likely more their willingness to work, which may fall under "waste of time" or not depending on how you feel about it. I'm not sure I admire them for it, but they're capable of sticking to their guns.

Everyone is assuming Epic doesn't want to bother or knows it would be competing against Nintendo games. It is a bit odd though of the boss saying the specs and engine can't be done but at the same time they are working on the iPhone which needs a customized "watered-down" version of the engine.

To be fair, the iPhone does have a stronger processor than the 3DS but it shares the power and CPU with other applications whereas the 3DS isn't sharing processor power with other non-gaming applications.

No loss there, 'Dude Huge'.

Got to love that there's severe slowdown in a promo set to push the game.

While I'm certain this game will bomb as hard as the Thor game I can let slide slowdown in an early trailer. They have bigger problems than that.

God, I wish Marvel would pull the license from Sega. Give it to Sierra.

lol

Hasbro Family Game Night 3 is coming Oct. 26th and will have The Game of Life, Twister, some Yahtzee Card game, and


CLUE! WOOOO Clue

Cluedo (it's "proper" name) is awesome. I don't like the way it's been change to be more "modern" though. The actual board game has changed the setting and characters.

Instead of being a party at an old Mansion, it's some kind of Hollywood mansion. Instead of Colonel Mustard, Rev. Green, Prof. Plum, They are actors and dircetors and super models now.

I probably wonmt by any of the Hasbro videogames though. If I want to play a board game, I prefer to play the actual board game.

By Silicon Knights for Activision.

Yeah, the Too Human guys.

But also, the Eternal Darkness guys.

Let's see which version of themselves they're gonna present.
