AssMan, have you ever played any of the Tales Of series? I get the feeling you might like the storylines, but hate the actual gameplay.

OssMan 11-01-2010 01:24 AM

Have never played those. Is Skies of Arcadia part of that? Cause I want to play that one. Was going to eventually play Tales of Symphonia probably. What is the gameplay like

Funky Fly 11-01-2010 01:56 AM

Arcadia is its own IP. Every Tales of game is "Tales of _____". Most of the games are real time 3D 4 player 3rd person combat. A couple of the titles are 1 player real time side scrolling combat.

Most of the series is like this:

SPOILER: show

A few are like this:

OssMan 11-01-2010 11:40 AM

Sounds feasible. Looks kinda like Star Ocean or Final Fantasy 12. I liked both of those, would have liked Star Ocean a lot more if it wasn't for a few obnoxious flaws in the battle syste.

Kalyx triaD 11-01-2010 03:15 PM

XBL working again wooooooo

Fable 3 scratched to hell boooooooo

Funky Fly 11-01-2010 03:24 PM

Symphonia is glorious, def get it. Also, get Abyss and Legendia, the 2 released on PS2. The one on the Wii is a sequel to Symphonia, but it's kinda weak by comparison so you might just wanna bootleg the motherfucker.

Fuuuuck, Vesperia is sooooo good. Love that one. It's on 360 rn, but a suped up version is on PS3 in Japan. Their shit is region free, so I dunno. Dunno if it's ever going to come to American PS3s.

Emperor Smeat 11-01-2010 05:34 PM

Microsoft rumored to be considering bringing back the Project Gotham Racing series as a way to compliment their Forza series. Original studio behind the PGR series was bought by Activision in 2007 and helped create Blur in 2010.

One rumor is to have the Forza developers also work on PGR 5 but Microsoft is looking more for a European developer to take on the series on its own.

Next Resident Evil Game American?:

Following in the trail blazed by Dead Rising 2, the next Resident Evil game may come from the Great White North. SOCOM developer Slant Six Games could be the latest studio tapped by Capcom to create its games.

A document forwarded to Kotaku indicates that a new, team-based Resident Evil game is currently in development at Slant Six. The developer is responsible for SOCOM:U.S. Navy SEALs Confrontation for the PlayStation 3 as well as two iterations for the PSP, Tactical Strike and Fireteam Bravo 3. Named (or codenamed) in the document as Resident Evil: Raccoon City, Slant Six looks to be staffing up to bring even more zombie game development to Vancouver.

When contacted for comment, publisher reps said "Capcom does not respond to rumors and/or speculation."

Slant Six Games writes on its official web site that it is currently in development on "an amazing new project" that is unannounced. That project is being developed in conjunction with a "new publishing partner on a world class franchise." Several Slant Six current and former employees list an unannounced "multiplayer action game" for the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 on their LinkedIn profiles.

In March of this year, Slant Six solicited work for a "Japanese translator/interpreter."

Capcom has looked outside of Japan for help on some of its better known franchises, including GRIN (Bionic Commando), Ninja Theory (Devil May Cry) and Blue Castle Games (Dead Rising 2), another Vancouver based studio that had its zombie project leaked well in advance.

This really sounds cool. I like the dev team and RE5 paved the way for the tone (in both action and multiplayer). Since RE had several spin-offs, I trust this won't be in the official line anyway. This is much easier to swallow than DmC, and may prove to be a good move like Dead Rising 2.

Blitz 11-02-2010 12:11 AM

WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO Dynasty Warriors 7 is PS3 exclusive only in Japan. NA and Europe get Xbox360!

did you play confrontation? That shit blew...bad.

Kalyx triaD 11-02-2010 08:50 AM

I thought that was pretty decent. I didn't put hours into it because I don't have a PS3, but the little I played didn't turn me off. And I'm not too crazy about the SOCOM series at all, but Confrontation wasn't bad.

Under proper direction, these guys good do a decent kind of RE, especially if it's actually based on the Raccoon City era (I'd place it somewhere else but RC is the rumor).

Kalyx triaD 11-02-2010 11:55 AM

Glancing over my nephew playing GTA San Andreas and... there's some shit I would have liked to see in GTA4. Namely the occupation modes when you get in a firetruck, ambulance, or police car. Were they added in any of the expansions or what? I think you could hunt criminals in GTA4 using the police website, I think.

Drakul 11-02-2010 02:28 PM

Yeah you could hunt crimials from a "most wanted" list or just listen to the police radio for random crimes that are happening at that time.

I guess they took out the other jobs for the sake of realism? Though I'm not sure how it would be unrealistic to have an illegal immagrant being a taxi driver when it's ok to give him the ability to be a cop.

D Mac 11-02-2010 02:43 PM

LOL Power Gig: Rise of the Six String got a 4.0 from IGN. Another Rock Revolution I guess. This actually has some songs I want on Rock Band. Like The Night by Disturbed, and Awake by Godsmack.

Funky Fly 11-02-2010 02:54 PM

The game is actually called Power Gig: Rise of the Six String? The game deserves a 4 for the name alone. Sheesh.

Can't fault EA for the decision since they managed to lose over $200 million in the last 2 months alone and ate about 1/3 of their entire 2010 profits.

Kalyx triaD 11-02-2010 10:56 PM

Seems harsh. Development will head over to the Madden team.

Microsoft reviving the episodic "tv show" plan for a new gaming show revolving around online poker. Same studio and marketing that was behind "1 vs 100" is developing the new game show.

Beta invites and applications have already started with the initial batch being picked by e-mail.

Most likely Microsoft will support this new show better due to lower costs to maintain and easier to setup for shows and tournaments unlike 1v100 that became too expensive over time.

its all a matter of time. I hear the current LT firmware is fine to be online with, so long as youre using a retail AP25 game online.

A lot of RPGs are like that. 5 hours of "oh, ok this is the boring part" before you get to "holy shit, this game is sweet". Even Mass Effect suffers from this. Dragon Age worked around it by giving you 6 origin stories, so it's all mad different.
