So Midway had a game called "Hero" in development when the company shut down. It was an open world superhero game where you could create your own character complete with costumes and powers. Whoever uploaded them to YT talks at the start of the first video and at the end of the second.

One seems close to Hero and the other, not as much but still with a superhero theme. Both aren't out until 2012 so they are both still rough. <object width="640" height="385"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/YdHvw3nC2mw?fs=1&hl=en_GB"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/YdHvw3nC2mw?fs=1&hl=en_GB" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="640" height="385"></embed></object> <iframe src="http://player.vimeo.com/video/18737199" width="400" height="225" frameborder="0"></iframe><p><a href="http://vimeo.com/18737199">8BitDeath: Tech Demo Walkthrough</a> from <a href="http://vimeo.com/user5717319">Phosphor Games Studio</a> on <a href="http://vimeo.com">Vimeo</a>.</p> If Awakened has customisation, like Hero, I'd prefer that to 8-Bit Death. Would be cool to play online and form a Superhero team. |
Sorry, video does not exist.

Must have been removed for some reason.

Managed to find the first 2 videos on YouTube. Can't see the 3rd anywhere.

Awesome awesome awesome awesome
The MK thing, I mean. |
What's with the weird beeping thing during the battle music in Suikoden. Or is that my PS3.

Electronic Arts following what Activison did this week by holding their own 50% off Sale on select Xbox Live Arcade stuff starting January 18. Also just like Activision's sale, PSN, Steam or other PC providers, and WiiWare not part of the promotion.
Unlike Activision, EA hasn't released a compete list so its possible they could add more stuff but right now it is a pretty small list. Also hinted was nothing from Dead Space Ignition and Need For Speed Hot Pursuit DLC will be in this sale. Quote:

If they're putting Deathspank on sale, they should do me a favour and put Deathspank 2 on sale.
Who here has RISK: Factions? How is it compared to the board game? |
I got invited to the Battlefield 3 closed beta.

Found out it's not Battlefield 3 but something called Battlefield Play4Free.

FF XIII-2 is coming along with Final Fantasy Agito XIII.
Allow me to be the first to say: lol |
Now I gotta play FF13. Moving it up the queue.
|
I have a pretty slick queue right now, Dragon Age and Mass Effect I want 1000 in, started playing Street Fighter 4, don't really know how to do much, can only really use Ryu...

As for SF4, please tell me you got Super SF4. We can show you the ropes far better than playing against randoms online. |

I'm still not sure why they're doing a direct sequel to the worst received FF game of all time. Playing that would be like redocerig miraculously from AIDS and then thinking "I miss that AIDS, I wish I had more".

Squenix has been clear in the past that they wanna do sub-series of their FF games just as they did with FF7 and FFX to a degree. No point creating a new universe with each game but having one dip into it. I like that people who enjoy the universe can get new stories and gameplay from it.
Kinda wish they had this model for FF8 and FF9, myself. |
That's what I mean though. Ignoring the horrid gameplay, the universe sucked horribly. They should have just written off their loss and made FFVI-2 or XII-2.
Only reason I have hope for Versus is it's gritty real-world based trailer with crazy FF style monsters still, completely away from those awful FFXIII environments and characters. |
I like FF13's design. In fact I'm down with most of the designs. FFX's Caribbean vibe was stretching it but I dug it.
|
As crappy as FF13 was, I think the sequel will probably be better. I read a thing from someone who was on the main team who developed FF13 and it was him basically apologizing for how bad the overall quality was. Of all the games that need a sequel though, come on.
|
FF12 did get a sequel, right? On DS?
|
XII Revenant Wings was alright, but the battle system on PS2 is what really sold lemon that game. Need more of that.
|
Yeah Revenant Wings. And FF12 was good. My friend says Revenant Wings was really good also, and it actually explored the character of Penelo a little bit which was definitely needed since she is of no importance to the story of FF12 except for being Vaan's friend.

Sony and 7-Eleven holding a LittleBigPlanet 2 promotion where if you buy "collectible" Sackboy and Killzone 2 cups, you earn points to spend on rewards in PSN.

Never been big on the X-box avatar shenanigans, but I noticed today that you can now buy Dinosaur pets for your avatar. :eek:

Ars reckons the PS3 version of Mass Effect 2 loses some impact by not being able to play through ME1
http://arstechnica.com/gaming/2011/0...t-2-on-ps3.ars |
Of course it does. You've lot the emotional attachment to the characters and the general backstory is going to be watered down.

Yeah, I'm a HUGE FF fan, but I actually think Mass Effect 2 is better than them all.
All of them. Even the internet's precious 4,6, and 7. |

I want to milk the shit out of the first one before that. |
Yes.

2 is a gazillion times better than 1
