Look for NBA's 2k16 mode to be about "struggle", yo.

Yeah, the struggle of losing your career mode progress when 2k shut off the servers.
The struggle of not having enough "VC coins" to become a good player in the NBA |

The collection is set to arrive later this summer for the PC, Xbox One, and the PS4 while a 3DS version arrives this winter. http://www.giantbomb.com/articles/me...umm/1100-5213/ 2) Capcom released a new trailer for Resident Evil 0 HD. http://www.destructoid.com/here-s-wh...e-293551.phtml 3) Amazon is currently in the process of hiring developers to work on PC games for the company with the bulk of their current dev team being mostly ex-Valve employees. http://www.destructoid.com/amazon-lo...e-293522.phtml 4) Update to Steam's new refund policy news as one developer is already upset with the feature stating since its launch, sales for Beyond Gravity have tanked due to the game taking less than 2 hours to beat. http://www.destructoid.com/indie-dev...y-293470.phtml |
3DS version of first 6 MegaMans sounds fucking AWESOME!!! Do the same with X plz
|
Aren't they all available on the virtual console anyway?
I dunno, I've played all 6 so many times already that I can't justify paying for them again. Only played X1-3 though, so I'd get an X collection. The Zero games are vastly underappreciated as well. |
Or maybe even Megaman Legends 3, fucking Capcom.
|
Halo 5 or Guardians or whatever the fuck it is has just announced it has no split-screen co-op.
Fucking 343. |
The final VGCW ever is being streamed

Good job co-op isn't a focus on this one. Not like you have 3 AI characters if you're playing single player.
Wait, fuck, you totally do. They've tried to offset it by saying that you don't need XBox Live Gold for co-op online, but that's like saying "We have a product for those people who want to play co-op in the same room, it's called buying a second XBox One". |
I now wanna know the full extent or lack thereof in regard to splitscreen. Splitscreen Halo is first and final for me and my boys and if this game pulls the same 1plyr per screen bullshit others do it may be a deal breaker. Destiny and Battlefield is one thing, Halo must allow me to play with four guys in offline and online games. All of us.
What the fuck is up with this generation? |
Quote:
http://i.imgur.com/3s6Gvz4.jpg However, GameInformer is saying that there is 0 split-screen for the campaign, so that's just standard MP. On the plus side, Call of Duty Black Ops 3 IS having 2 player split screen campaign at least. |
Good for CoD players.
This is almost a deal breaker for me. Sadly, the pathetic limitation of modern couch multiplayer the last two generations has prepared me for this. I demand answers, though. Why is Halo 5 not able to do something every other Halo did with one hand behind it's back. Was it a weakness of the devs? The Xbox One? Who's to blame for this? |
Today's News:
1) Insomniac Games announced a new Ratchet & Clank game is currently in development for the PS4 and will be a "retelling" or reboot of the original game. http://www.screwattack.com/video/Rat...-2016-12874957 2) New trailer for Hellblade for PC and PS4 was recently released by developer Ninja Theory. http://www.giantbomb.com/videos/ninj...me/2300-10257/ 3) Capcom revealed some new details for Mega Man Legacy Collection with the set to cost $15, supports 3 types of filters for games, and each game contains its own save slot. http://www.destructoid.com/producer-...n-293671.phtml 4) Newest bundle at the Humble Bundle Store was revealed to be a classic Indie game themed bundle with World of Goo, Super Meat Boy, and Dustforce DX as part of the 1st tier of games. http://www.destructoid.com/old-favor...s-293638.phtml 5) CD Projekt Red revealed The Witcher managed to sell around 4 million copies since its launch.

Late Night News Edition:
Armature Studio which is handling the Wii U and Vita ports of Bloodstained stated they are working on getting the Unreal Engine 4 to run on both platforms. The plan is to get the customized engine to work on those platforms and then release the source code for free so that other developers can port their UE4 games to both platforms.
Only downside is the source code won't get released until some time after the game's release (early 2017). Quote:

I dunno, man. It's just insane that Halo of all things went this route. Surely 343 knew the appeal of a splitscreen Halo. Or maybe they don't have buddies for couch play.

So is this going to be a new "thing" now, people making giant announcements a week or two before E3?

Occulus had an event today. Will be out early 2016 with an XBox controller and some hand tracking controllers coming later. Can also play XB1 games, but in a stupid virtual living room.
Worst news is that some PC games are Occulus exclusive for VR, so you have to buy into their bullshit instead of something like the HTC Vive. Split the user base before it begins. |
Ultra SF4 for PS4 is fixed. Input lag is about the same as the 360 now. Thank the fucking lord.

I must admit the Oculus 'hand controllers' is pretty slick. Would try once. Or twice.

In terms of historical stuff, Sonic Boom managed to be the worst selling spin-off game in Sonic series history. http://www.destructoid.com/sega-we-w...m-293721.phtml 3) Telltale announces Episode 3 for Tales from the Borderlands will arrive on June 23rd. http://www.destructoid.com/tales-fro...3-293757.phtml 4) Comcept studio made a few announcements regarding Mighty No. 9 with the PSN versions to support cross-buy, the 3DS version supports 3D features, Wii U version supports the Gamepad but no Miiverse feature, and released the specs for the PC version. http://www.destructoid.com/mighty-no...s-293747.phtml |
Yeah, Wii U and lack of a cartoon is why Sonic Boom failed. Nothing to do with the game at all.

Castle Crashers Remastered announced.
Kinda makes you wonder though, now that the X1 is rolling out backwards compatibility, what the point is in some of these remasters. Some games just age perfectly fine, particularly cartoonish/cel-shaded ones (Wind Waker, Castle Crashers, etc) |
The answer is some (a lot) of games will be cock blocked by publishers.
You think Sony will let Capcom let Microsoft add SF4 after all the hoopla about Ultra SF4 being PS4 exclusive? Some games are still never going to happen. |
FF VII Being re-made.
Speechless right now. |

If anyone was interested in playing Shenmue I and/or II because of Shenmue III's announcement, now is not a good time to do so. Prices for both at least on Amazon spiked big since III's announcement.
Shenmue I spiked by around 200-250% ($90-$100 average right now) while II spiked by around $60-$70 on average. On the flip side, best time to sell either game and make some good money. Likely the same on eBay and other online retailers/auction places. http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=1065332 http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_no...iglink20241-20 |

Also stated the reason for no Zelda U stuff in the E3 Direct show was because Nintendo wanted to focus more on Star Fox. http://www.destructoid.com/zelda-is-...o-294412.phtml 3) According to an interview with Kotaku, Legend of Zelda: Tri Force Heroes requires 3 players if online mode is used while the game itself will automatically trigger the Game Over screen if someone quits online. http://gonintendo.com/stories/236581...game-over-if-a 4) Koji Igarashi teased rumors of Deep Silver being the publisher for Bloodstained are likely true although he doesn't want to make an official announcement until the publisher approves it. http://www.siliconera.com/2015/06/19...-of-the-night/ |

The MEGATON announcement? Smash Bros? Shovel Knights the most fan requested character, Wii U got the game almost a year early, it's a MEGATON announcement and it's not what we think, meaning it's not just a Nintendo themed boss. |
all awesome news... shovel knight so good
would buy the shit out of a shovel knight amiibo :'( |
So would I.
Worth mentioning, in regards to Shovel Knight and Smash. Lucas, Roy, Mewtwo and Ryu were NOT added as a result of the fan poll. The fan characters are still to come. The only reason I can imagine Shovel Knight not getting in Smash, as it seems like almost anything can happen these days,is the fact he isn't a huge deal in Japan, as far as I'm aware. I feel if a character is huge in Japan but unknown in the west, they are still viable but if a character is huge in the west but virtually unknown in Japan, they are automatically extremely unlikely to make it. |
I always pictured Nintendo as a company that was all JAPAN #1 first but also saw America as a place where a bunch of really stupid people are incredibly eager to part with their money, so if something were popular over here they would milk it because they know dumb Americans would eat it right up
based on nothing really |
When Nintendo puts out a Nintendo Direct and someone speaks Japanese, Europe gets it in Japanese with subtitles while America gets it dubbed over with an American voice.
Refrences to Japan, like rice balls, become western things like sandwiches in the US. Kirby is always tough and angry on American box art because they don't think you'll buy it if he looks cute and happy. The SNES got a makeover in the US, becoming blocky and dull because they thought you'd not want it if it was curvy and colourful. Nintendo seems to think very little of Americans, in my opinion. Everything has to be "cool" and as American as possible as if anything that isn't will terrify you. |
Nintendo of Europe doesn't have its own Treehouse crew?
That's the group who does the Direct episodes and translation stuff here. Got promoted in recent years to handle their E3 shows. |
Not really. In Directs, we get Iwata and some other Japanese guys I can't recall the name of.
We have a localisation team but that seems to be more for translation. We get a mix of Japanese stuff (The Japanese SNES model) and American stuff (American spelling in a lot of games, the Kirby boxart thing) |
but do you get REGGIE
|
"duuuuhhh what's a riceball"
- An American |
Of course. Reggie crosses oceans.
