If anyone still has one of the World Tour engine Guitar Heroes (WT, M, SH, VH), can you please verify whether tracks made and uploaded in GHTunes still exist (or if GHTunes itself still exist). And beyond that, if my tracks are still up (GT Kalyx triaD 360). Re-purchasing GH:M soon and I just wanna know if anything's still up. Thanks.

Rather than bump a Street Fighter thread, I thought I'd post this here:

Facts about Street Fighter.

There are a lot of them. I didn't know the WWF had such an impression on SF. I knew about Hugo being based on Andre etc but there are others, like suggested SFII characters looking like Kamala etc.

EVERYTHING is better in First Person. WTF is wrong with you?

Quick News Round-Up:

1) Konami announces the Metal Gear Solid HD collection will have its own collector's edition only available online at the price of $120. The CE edition is being titled as "Metal Gear Solid Ultimate HD Collection" and will only have 4000 copies made.

2) It turns out the celebration cake for Catherine on the PS3 was a bit of a lie as the reported 200,000 value shown on the cake wasn't confirmed by the NPD in the US. In reality the game only sold 78,000 copies in the first week while Atlus confirmed they only shipped 200,000 copies to retailers although it still broke best 1st week record in company history.

5) Microsoft preparing to drop the Xbox 360 from Japan and potenitally the Xbox brand itself after recent reports show the company is unhappy with the slow sales and recpeption of the brand. While the Xbox 360 outsold the original Xbox in Japan, Microsoft felt the money invested for Japan hasn't been worth the results in the long run.

MIGHT get that. Depends what else is on it.

Only real difference from the regular set might be a different case and the art cards.

no soundtrack?

Sony and Nintendo got Japan locked down. Surprised Gates waited this long to pull out.

It not really being Gates' call anymore aside, Americans never know when to pull out.

Was Catherine marketed like, at all? I saw a bit of hype on game sites, but no real ads. And since I don't get cable anymore, I'd obviously miss TV spots.

I think I might've seen one ad for it on adult swim.

Holy shit that looked fucking awesome.

Kept expecting the Terminator to pop up though.

Watching it is so depressing though, because you know that with much smaller player count, and maps, the action won't look anything like that on consoles.

Oh well, time to get a new PC I suppose.

That Battlefield 3 footage gives me PC envy.

While Battlefield 3 was the main focus from EA at Gamerscom, EA and Bioware revealed some info regarding its other games currently in development.

The FIFA Street series is returning with a new game currently in development by EA Canada having a stronger focus on tricks and a few gameplay features from the regular FIFA series. A modified version of the upcoming FIFA 12 engine is being used to improve the passing and dribbling for the game. Also revealed was at least 35 locations to choose from, a 5v5 mode, and a 6v6 mode.

Bioware revealed Dragon Age Legends is variable now for Google+ and the upcoming Warhammer Wrath of Heroes will be getting the Free-To-Play treatment on PC.

New info on SSX reveals the Xbox 360 version will have a heavy emphasis on online gameplay with Ridernet tied heavily into the mode similar to the recent Need For Speed Hot Pursiut using the autolog for friends lists and online modes.

FIFA Street was revealed to have an early 2012 release date for PS3 and Xbox 360, Wrath of Heroes is currently starting its beta testing phase, and SSX is still on track for an early 2012 release on Xbox 360 and PS3.

Quick News Round-Up:

1) Based on a new patent filing from Nintendo, the Wii U controller is having some new changes such as internal flash memory and a magnetic sensor.

2) Highlights from Sony's conference at Gamercom 2011 reveal a $50 price drop on all models of the PS3 will start immediately while a new PSP model for Europe will drop all Wifi abilities in return for a €99 price.

3) Based on a teaser picture and tweet from Hideo Koijma, a new Zone of the Enders game could be heading to the Nintendo 3DS. Rumors based on the picture tweeted by Kojima hint the game could be a potential sequel to the Japanese version of ZOE 2.

Even though Zone of the Enders on PS3 would be probably one of the greatest gaming experiences of all time, they are putting it on 3DS. Wonderful

I won't be getting it anyway, it just looked badass.

My sentiments exactly. ZOE 2 is still one of my favorite PS2 games.

ZOE 2 is one of my favorite games ever. Actually I like the first one more.

I beat both and don't remember anything about them except the mech's name was Jehuty. And Im pretty sure the main reason I bought the first one was for the Metal Gear Solid 2 demo that came with it.

not a real website btw. it's like the onion

Like 80% of the purchasers.

I'm glad companies don't bundle demo's with games, or rather, I'm glad that concept didn't take off. Because I think Capcom did the same thing once with the Devil May Cry demo, but I can't for the life of me remember what the game was that came with the demo.

And Before Assman comes in here with his panties in a bunch, I liked Zone of the Enders.

Notch has challenged Bethesda to a game of Quake 3.
If Mojang win they can keep the name 'Scrolls' if they lose they'll change it. :lol:

Quick News Round-Up:

1) Nintendo announces a new smaller and slimmer model of the Wii will be arriving later this year in Europe aimed at just the casual or Wii-only customers but will drop Gamecube compatibility due to the smaller size. The bundle is rumored to have a 99 Euros price tag and will come with all the games in the current regular model bundle.

2) The upcomming Warhammer Wrath of Heroes joins the upcoming Rage in locking out non-online multiplayer modes with the news of a 5-player co-op mode will be arriving for free for people who bought the game new and a fee for used owners. The mode will arrive about a month after retail release and isn't being considered as DLC by Bioware.

3) Based on box art leaks for Deus Ex: Human Revolution, the game will require a 3GB mandatory install for the PS3 while the Xbox 360 only requires 66MB of free space for non-installed games.

3G? Holy shit, I think that's bigger than the DC Universe install. Was going to get it on tuesday, but now, I don't know. I have an older PS3, and there is not much room on the HD.

He does that a lot, doesn't he?

Likewise, bundling demos is really annoying and I'm glad it didn't take off.

But since Bethesda are noobs, they will go for a court case.

Quick News Round-Up:

1) Namco semi-rebooting the Ridge Racer series after announcing the developers of the FlatOut series, Bugbear, are currently developing the next game in the series Ridge Racer Unbounded. The game is set to mesh the Ridge Racer style with the FlatOut and Burnout gameplay style although Namco also announced the reboot would only occur for this game as the next official Ridge Racer game will revert back to the traditional style.

2) At Gamescom, Blizzard explains their "Titan" project does not have anything to do with anything related to the Starcraft series and is not a Starcraft MMO as rumors have stated.

NFL Sunday Ticket is coming to the Playstation 3. No need to have DirectTV at all, but it will cost a whopping $340 bucks for the season.

Too rich for my blood.

Unless I can get on someone's account like with Netflix

People actually pay that? Fuck.

Ubisoft shows off new gameplay details and footage with the emphasis on the new changes in appearance resulting in a lack of clutter on the screen or HUD in comparison with recent games in the Ghost Recon series and the previous demo shown at E3 this year.

Ubisoft also made several changes to the game since E3 with the targeting halo giving out certain information to the player being removed or redone as a different aspect of the gameplay. The development team did state that most of the obvious changes were done for aesthetic reasons and not a complete reworking of the interface of the game.

Gameplay-wise, all the choices and decision-making shown at E3 and earlier announcements are still in the game but with less initial on-screen markers for both enemy targets and objectives except for those done specifically by the player.

All the text and the targeting halo shown in the image were removed based on the gameplay impressions from Kotaku.

Quick News Round-Up:

1) Sony announces it will never bring cross-chat to the PS3 regardless of how many times PS3 owners demand or request it as a new feature. Sony's official response was the feature never was implemented in the operaing system for the PS3 and the problems with how RAM works on the system but did announce the Vita will have some form of cross-chat.

2) Gamestop announces they are in the process of creating a streaming/digital service for console and PC games with the intial testing and beta occuring before the end of the year. The service would be cloud-based and is in co-development with their recently purchased Spawn Labs company.

3) EA and Bioware announce their MMO Star Wars Old Republic game will intentonally have low shipments and copies avaliable at release as a way to prevent the servers from overloading with too many people trying to access the game at once. The plan will also affect digital copies as both companies will restrict the amount of users who can activate the game regardless of when the game was bought until they are convinced the servers can handle full-loads.

I reserved my copy of Old Republic a couple weeks ago.

I BETTER GET ONE!!!!!

Just kidding.
