Yeah, pretty much the rep system here.

Drakul 07-06-2010 10:46 PM

Our rep system is actually better, I think.

If someone gets neg repped here, it eventually shows in the form of red boxes. XBL doesn't show it because the stars never go down. Why have a star rank if everyone shoots up to five stars after any feedback, good or bad?

Kalyx triaD 07-06-2010 11:03 PM

Both can be abused is what I mean.

I got weird reviews myself.

Emperor Smeat 07-06-2010 11:28 PM

Activision wants a a bigger share of PSN and XBLA revenues for the DLC and games they create. Not sure if they have ever released anything on WiiWare but even that would be affected for revenue shares.

If they were to get that demand it would only be a matter of time before the other big companies request personal shares and might rise prices of DLC or games.

How do you view your reviews?

Drakul 07-07-2010 07:36 AM

Press the Xbox button on the control pad, move to the last page on the menu, select "profile" and then "view rep".

My rep has taken a beating since playing SSFIV online. I'm almost at 50/50 good/bad rep with most people claiming I'm unsporting.
I had no idea it was against the rules to stay ontop of your opponent or not let them hit you. Or is it that hard to believe anyone can use Zangief so I must be cheating. :roll:

Funky Fly 07-07-2010 09:24 AM

You are a god damn monster with Zangief. Lesser men than you or me simply cannot handle such utter defeat. Take a moment to stroke your manly beard in observance of your general manliness. If you do not have a beard, then stroke what is most assuredly a Zangief-like patch of chest hair.

I assume this is just a rebalancing with some new minor mechanics thrown in? They're getting downright Street Fighter 2 with this.

Also, I will probably never play VF5. Worst $10 I ever spent. Seriously can't get past the inputs/floatiness.

Turned them all off and even turned Awakening off, still does it. Haven't looked to see if it's a problem with the DLC or just something on my end tho. It does make the game unplayable, atleast for me, as I'm one of the people that actually liked Leliana.

Funky Fly 07-10-2010 05:10 AM

Haven't heard anything. Mass Effect isn't bad tho. As long as the story is still top notch, I'm gonna keep playing because Bioware games tend to have good gameplay anyway.

#BROKEN Hasney 07-10-2010 05:22 AM

"More responsive action combat" and there's only one hero with a full story that's human that you can make male or female.

The focus on one guy has seemed to make the game sound more epic though, the story spans a decade.

Funky Fly 07-10-2010 05:33 AM

Yeah, not a big deal, as long as the party is hella rounded and you still get class options. I'm assuming racial benefits go the wayside for massive gameplay improvements and voicework during the narrative for your main character.

Daniel Craig takes the lead – bringing with him the gruff physicality introduced in Casino Royale – and he's joined by Judi Dench and Devon's own Joss Stone. Stone will also be providing the soundtrack, with an original song penned by her and the Eurythmics Dave Stewart called 'I'll Take it All'.

Multiplayer will also feature, with various modes supporting up to 16 players and pitching spies against mercenaries.

I'm guessing it's something for the 3DS. Using the camera

Drakul 07-17-2010 06:07 AM

It's a downloadable game for XBLA and PSN. It's probably just going to be some kind of Megaman based cross over game. The trailer shows Bionic Commandos arcade cabinet and it has Captain Commando painted on the kids wall.

It would be a cool novelty if you unlocked characters freely by using kinect or the PS3s motion camera to scan in Capcom products. Scan in SFIVs box and get Ryu, SSFIV for Ken, scan in RE5s box to get Chris etc. Scan in older games like the original Megaman box to get the guy off the boxart we see at the end of the trailer. I guess if you didn't have kinect or something you could buy them as cheap DLC.
It would be a cool novelty but impractical, I guess.

Edit: Just saw this over at Capcom Europe:

Mega Man Universe, the latest entry in Capcom’s long-running Mega Man™ series, will be a revolutionary take on the seminal classic, setting course for a new chapter in classic gaming.
Mega Man games are beloved by fans all over the world. Since their debut in 1987, Mega Man has remained a videogame icon, having starred in more than 140 titles over the last 22 years. The connection he’s made with pop culture at large has extended beyond games and into cartoons, toys, clothing, comics, kid’s meals, and more. Part of that popularity is driven by the series’ ability to evolve over time yet consistently retain the addictive gameplay experience that sets Mega Man games apart.

For the next chapter in this legacy of excellence, Capcom aims to deliver the most creative Mega Man experience yet. In Mega Man Universe, imagination is the star of the game.

“We are thrilled to finally be able to announce Mega Man Universe,” said Kenji Inafune, Head of Research and Development Management for Capcom Entertainment. “This game will break the mold and challenge the conventional wisdom of what a Mega Man game can be. When fans finally get to see it, I believe they’ll envision their most far-out Mega Man dreams coming true.”

Inafune is committed to helping craft a Mega Manexperience that meets the highest expectations of Capcom fans. Most recently Mega Man™ 10echoed this fact when its classic design and compelling gameplay made it one of the most sought after digital downloads of the year. Gamers can expect Mega Man Universeto bring the core experience fans want while delivering on the promise of innovation that Capcom is known for. Its official: classic gaming will never be same again.

Find out more about MMU and lots of other new announcements @ the Capcom Europe Blog next week when we send Fonix out to Comicon in San Diego….

Imagination? Maybe we have to mix and match different Capcom characters body parts or something.

Edit: Forgot the source.

The Ryu and Arthur characters is for the new Megaman game since Megaman appears to be a Mr Potato Head type in the new game with all the parts switching.

Drakul 07-18-2010 02:03 AM

Some people in the comments section at ScrewAttack suggested it might be sort of like Little Big Planet with Megaman. Design your own levels and customise Megaman to look like Ryu etc.

Halo 3 ODST shouldn't really count since the majority of multiplayer comes from the Halo 3 multiplayer disc.

Not shocked at CoD 4 on the list since there was a spike in playing ever since people started to dislike the changes in the sequel and went back to CoD 4.

Other than that the list is almost entirely of shooting games with a couple of sports games (included Forza as a sports game for racing).

ODST has a seperate disk for Multiplayer, just acts as halo 3

#BROKEN Hasney 07-19-2010 05:34 PM

It's not just multiplayer either, just games played while connected to Live. Hence Fallout 3.

That seems to explain the situation the best. Completely forgot about them counting games where you are only signed on and not just in terms of mulitplayer games only.

ODST also has Firefight. which is awesome.

Kojima Productions once asked how people would feel about a Zone of the Enders sequel. Their inbox literally collapsed under the weight of responses.

Hint-hint, Kojima, get to work.

Namco vs Capcom rumored to be in the making right now but with a catch in that its really 2 seperate games instead of one. Namco is making Namco vs Capcom with the Tekken style while Capcom is making Capcom vs Namco with the Street Fighter style. If done correctly it would end up how SNK vs Capcom was a 2 game series since each side made its own version.

Rumored Call of Duty Pay to Play idea rejected by both Infinity Ward and Treyarch for at least the upcoming Black Ops game and current Modern Warfare 2.

Sony investing in using 3D glasses as a way for 2 people to play a split-screen game in a way that each person gets to see the whole screen instead of the traditional bar to split the screen in a game. Only catch is 2 sets of 3D glasses with a 3Dtv is needed and doesn't work beyond 2 players.

I just posted the Capcom news 3 minutes before you did over in the SSFIV thread.

Is it possible to get some kind of news ticker in the game forum? Just have headlines scroll across the top of the VG forum page sort of like:

<!-- HTML codes by Quackit.com -->
<marquee behavior="scroll" direction="left">|Red Dead Redemption: 4 new DLC packs announced.|Game Informer claims upcoming Capcom "versus" Game to be revealed.|</</marquee>
<p><a href="http://www.quackit.com/html/codes/html_marquee_code.cfm"></a></p>

Didn't think it would have belonged in the SSFIV thread since it dealt with Namco although it took longer than I wanted to post the 3 new articles since the Sony one took the longest to understand correctly.

A news ticker for the VG board sounds like a great idea.

Drakul 07-20-2010 03:26 AM

I stuck it in the SSFIV thread because Ono, the guy that is in charge of Capcoms version, was saying it was "Bigger than SSFIV" and had posted an image of Ryus face so it looked like it would be another Street Fighter game.
The story was posted in the SSFIV thread so I thought it would be best to put this story there as well until it's officially revealed and then someone will give it is own thread.

It's not a big deal that it was posted in two places. Just means more people will know about it.

Kalyx triaD 07-20-2010 04:46 AM

A news ticker would be awesome.

Drakul 07-20-2010 11:22 AM

Even better if you could click the story and be taken to the relevent post for the full story.

Kalyx triaD 07-20-2010 11:25 AM

Can you post hotlinks in a marquee like normal?

All chick fighter Arcana Heart 3 is coming to PS3/XB360.

Drakul 07-22-2010 05:12 AM

Never heard of it. Is this a good thing for most people or just the really hardcore fighter fans?

Kalyx triaD 07-22-2010 05:26 AM

Fighting fans. General population may find it repulsive even.

Funky Fly 07-22-2010 05:33 AM

Creepy as fuck because it's an all school girl fighter, over the top Jap shit. But the first one's a pretty good game.

Why is, that? Pretty simple, really -- the console players just couldn't hang.

Voodoo PC found Rahul Sood revealed that the prospect was discussed "many many months ago" but that Microsoft killed off the idea due to tests that revealed PC gamers "destroyed" console gamers every single time. According to Sood, "It would be embarrassing to the Xbox team in general had Microsoft launched this initiative."

PC gamers often tout the accuracy of mouse-and-keyboard play as their ace in the hole. Having gotten into PC gaming over the past year, I certainly agree that the accuracy can't be beat, although it does seem that it's accurate to the point of coddling. When you can point and click your headshots, it just doesn't feel like you've earned it.

Sega officially announces that Thor's the next license they're going to embarrass. At least he's looking badass in Capcom's Marvel vs Capcom 3. Expect a Captain America announcement by Sega soon.

Noooooo. God, Marvel needs to get their act together with the licensing. Both for movies and for games.

#BROKEN Hasney 07-22-2010 05:50 PM

They got the C America, Iron Man and Thor licenses at the same time.
