Well, I preordered DA2 last year, so I'm golden.

Playing Zone of the Enders: The Second Runner, pretty insane game. Don't know why they haven't put one out for PS3 yet, especially since the PS3 still "lacks exclusives" and Kojima said he wasn't doing another Metal Gear Solid.

Give it time...

New Suikoden game first, then a Z.O.E 3 imo.

Just played Suikoden for the first time last night

Yeah, bought suikoden as well, from psn. Only just started, but I like it. Classic 2-d jrpg goodness. Hope they eventually release the sequels, as I hear those are good as well.

I think the 2nd one is on the PSN store as well. Best of the series.

Need to try this out. The hunt for the best fighting game pad continues.

Fuck that, I wouldn't be able to do anything!

Noh I don't think Suikoden 2 is on there. Which sucks because it's one of the few games that I would actually buy off of it cause it's like $150.

Look in some mom and pop video game stores. Most of the times the ones around here have no idea how much a game is really worth and has it cheap. Friend of mine found Valkyrie Profile for 5 bucks at one when it was still selling used for 30-40 bucks in other stores.

Should come out with a suikoden collection. There's 5 right? I'd buy that.

Don't forget Suikoden Tactics

Aright well hook me up if you find one

Dunno, Homefront looks like a MW2 ripoff to me.

It is more of a Battlefield rip-off, actually.

I have no problem with games aping other games if they can do it better. No problem at all.

Agreed.

Kalyx, fuck your little message. You're out.

Activision having a 50% off sale on select games and DLC stuff until January 17 on Xbox Live Arcade. PSN and whatever Activision uses for PC games are not part of the discount promotion.

The sale is mainly on "old" XBLA games and CoD map packs older than Modern Warfare 2.

In other news, Hard Corps Uprising set for a February 16 release date on both XBLA and PSN with a $15 (PSN)/1200 MS points price tag.

Yeah. The hard corps thing has been mentioned. I know because it sent me into fiery rage that destroyed 2 city blocks.

And an oxygen bar. But that was unrelated.

LOL I'm glad I didn't buy Guitar Hero Warriors of Rock. The DLC since it came out has sucked balls. Save from shit we already have on RB.

Retro Studios revealed some concept art for Donkey Kong Country Returns with the majority of the art being unlockable in the game itself.

The art comes from around the time very early in the game's development and when the art style had already been decided upon. Some of the art shows off ideas of levels borrowed from the Virtual Boy or the Mario vs DK handheld series.

Just beat Zone of the Enders 2.

Sony's going legal against the hackers and it's gone a bit weird. If you've agreed to the EULA on a firmware update, you apparently agree to be sued in California no matter what country you're in.

Sony has also sent Geohot $1 to his email address via paypal to try and prove he was taking donations for his work. Shady as fuck.

Sony is telling reporters and other sources that the PSP2 should be as powerful as a PS3 but didn't explicitly say it would be a portable "PS3". It would confirm the early reaction of EA saying it was basically like a PS3.

They also hinted at both digital and disc copies of games while no earlier than a late 2011 release date. Also possible is some sort of phone function similar to Skype but nothing big or else they would be competing with the "Playstaion" Phone from Sony-Erickson.

It could hint at a very expensive price for the handheld and a potential increase to PS3-level for games. It took Sony until 2009/2010 to make a profit on PSPs and mid-2010 before making a profit on the PS3.

Last reports showed Sony very worried about excessive heat and a very horrible battery rate from prototype models.

Something that powerful makes me feel like I'm living in the future.

They'll have to make it really expensive and no one will buy it. If you make a console with fancy specs, you'll need to charge a lot for it which will turn people off. I can't understand why Sony can't seem to grasp that concept.

They did the same thing when the PS3 was first priced. "Five hundred and ninety nine US dollars!"
Doing the same technology with a handheld will surely cost even more so it would be around about the same price as the PS3 itself.

Dreamcast Collection has turned out to be the 4 games announced for PSN and XBLA, but on disc for 360 and PC.

To be fair, Sega Bass Fishing, Crazy Taxi, Sonic Adventure and Space Channel 5 Part 2 for $30 (which is what it appeared on Gamestop for) is a pretty good deal.

Still shit, though.

What's the fucking point, when a lot of people already own these games on Live/PSN?

Dunno why they couldn't have done the games through Steam anyway, only one I've not got on DC and would want would be Space Channel 5 P2 since it didn't come out in English.

But I'll probably still get the 360 collection for cheap anyway.

Would have been better if Sega somehow included a fishing controller like they did for the Dreamcast version of Bass fishing.

Knowing Sega, they probably lost the source code to a good amount of Dreamcast games and can't just make "quick" ports for the collection. To be fair, a lot of gaming companies don't have great archives for their stuff either.

Yeah, not entirely sure how I get laid myself.

Honestly don't know why Sega don't do an "Unrealeased Arcade Collection" and get games like SCUD Race and Daytona USA 2 onto home consoles before MAME gets them on PC.

Recent preview for Dead Space 2 shows the game changing a bit more than expected or from Dead Space 1.

It appears the 2nd game is getting a lot of influence from Bioshock 1 while also bringing more diverse settings and areas than the first game had. It also appears that the demo's choice for the game was pretty bad since the previewed parts of the game (1st set of levels) created a different feeling and gameplay.

For bad news, hackers found a way to exploit trophies similar to hacking achievements on the Xbox 360 but there is a problem synchronizing previous earned trophies with "cheated" trophies for certain games.

Source.

Should be good.
