Late Night News Edition:
 

Doubt anyone here would get fooled but worth a small warning regarding WWE 2k15 and people sending messages to 2K Games for help.

2K Games is currently having problems with the servers for WWE 2k15 and as a result scammers have been using it as an excuse to start phishing for as many accounts as possible. At least one Twitter account so far has been revealed to be a fraud (https://twitter.com/2KSupport_17).

2K Games have been implying the problem is not on their end even though evidence points the other way. Also their quick fix is to just restart the console/game and hope the problem went away.

http://www.destructoid.com/the-witch...--296726.phtml

Who would have thought during the days of deception and armageddon that an mk game would top sales in 2015?

Seems like a slow year. An in between year.

Whatever, I'll take it. Good for the genre. This combined with SF5 will bring in a whole new batch of scrubs so for a moment I don't feel like one myself.

You know until they all go back to COD and I'm stuck playing guys with madcatz sponsorships again.

Fuck em. Rather play people who know what's going on.

Hey KOTF OPPONENT SMELLY MEATBALL, any hot news on Dragon Quest XI apparently being announced for the NX? Sounds like someone somewhere screwed the pooch on leaking that...

Nah, think they got the go ahead since it's known as a concept, but it's not really even been said if the NX version will be like the 3DS version (AKA handheld) or like the console version, or some sort of weird clone device like the rumours that say it's a portable and a home console.

I see Square Enix reads my posts. DQ11 for the win.

I finally beat the main story of Hardline, probably the biggest disappointment I've had, was all up for a good final boss fight and it's like, "here's a cut scene instead"

https://scontent-vie1-1.xx.fbcdn.net...15&oe=564446F2

Score

Did some quick reading and aparently that's been semi-debunked by Square. Only the PS4 and 3DS versions are confirmed while a NX version only being considered as a possible idea. Probably won't get fully confirmed or denied until Nintendo actually debuts the device.

Like Hasney mentioned, too much confusion right now on what the NX is suppossed to be.

Today's News:

4) Galaxy Trail studio announced the Wii U version of Freedom Planet will be arriving on August 3rd.
http://www.destructoid.com/freedom-p...3-296758.phtml

I'm pretty sure the covered the boss situations the second Mankind Divided got announced. Kill 'em, subdue 'em, go around 'em.

Hope those boss battles are done in house instead of being farmed out to another developer.

Hell yeah @ Ground Zeroes being free in August.

Also 2nd Clockshot's above comment. Have big hopes for this installment of Deus Ex.

They want feedback on a game the entire internet has said wanted an HD remake? They must be taking cues from Square.

Announce a cheap PS1 port at PSX. Big remake trailer at E3 to get people excited. Seems to be a good formula.

Final Fantasy XII currently rumored to be getting the remastered treatment according to the composer and director of the Final Fantasy concert series. Adding some possibilities of the rumor being true are Square Enix recently released remastered versions of FF X and FF X-2 while the composer for FF XII was in the audience when the announcement was made.

http://www.destructoid.com/rumor-fin...e-297047.phtml

I would most likely get a FFXII remaster. The gambit system was really fun and well thought out. You had to do some serious tinkering with that thing to beat Yiazmat.

Plus, we never got the international zodiac job system version, which has even more depth.

http://www.giantbomb.com/articles/re...con/1100-5251/

Always found the first gears game to be the best by a wide margin.

Fignuts you look so much crisper in HD. Are you running at 60fps as well!?

Fignuts in HD is only 30 fps :n:

But his narrative makes up for it.

Yeah, you're much better off waiting a few more years to buy Fignuts 4K Edition.

:rofl:

The slots division in Vegas must be scratching their heads at that one. Probably gonna geared/marketed to kids who just turned the legal gambling age.

Would laugh if I was walking through a casino and saw a few old folks playing it.

As a former slot tech, you'd be surprised how long Konami has been in the "gaming" biz, and how gimmicky some stuff can be...

I remember installing a Ghostbusters slot machine that rivaled anything I remember from the big, immersive arcade games I grew up with.

In Japan, pachinko and slot machines are huge business there. For some reference, Sega's parent company makes a lot more money from those machines than whatever Sega generates every year.

In Japan, those machines have brought in more than the games division for years.

Activision Exec #1: People are saying that THPS5 looks terrible.... Should we delay it to make sure it looks alright and nail the physics to give it a good return?

Activision Exec #2: Fuck that, we're a month and a half away... WAIT, I'VE GOT AN IDEA. Tell the development team to just use a cel-shading filter in Photoshop, that will work.

Activision Exec #1: THAT'S BRILLIANT, this is how we earn the big bucks! Shall we celebrate with hookers and cocaine?

Activision Exec #2: Sounds like a plan, let me just call my wife and tell her we're working late to finish off the game. She doesn't know what the fuck I do here.

SNK is dead.

No KOF 14

That is massively depressing

Fuck we were due for a huge roster all star game too.

Shermie :(

Why oh WHY didn't Capcom snatch them up when SNK's financial woes went public years ago, back when Capcom had money to it. FUCK.

Think SNK doesn't like Capcom ever since the aftermath of the Capcom vs SNK series deal and it sort of tying into their later financial woes.

They don't get to not like somebody.

Weekend News Edition:
 

During an interview with IGN at Gamescom, Square Enix revealed they are currently in talks with Avalanche Studios to use their Just Cause 3 engine for Final Fantasy XV.

It won't completely replace the Luminous Studio engine currently being used but will have parts of it added in to help enhance the game overall.

http://www.ign.com/articles/2015/08/...m-just-cause-3

I think that is bad news for FFXV. Seems really far off still or like inevitable delays if they are talking about those kind of changes.

Delays are not bad news.

After a decade or so of delays, they kind of are.

But it sounds like it's being used as a part of a mini game.

Today's News:
1) Some Final Fantasy related news includes:

• Final Fantasy XIV could end up getting a Xbox One and NX release in the future although the Xbox One version would be dropped if Microsoft rejects cross-play with the PC and PS4 versions.

Alpha is public now. Start sucking less.

Khuntry's comp can't run it well. And my comp barely does tetris online without overheating. Would love to try Rising Thunder.

Random thought I had last night, now that Xbox One with have backwards compatibility, do you think that will spell the end to shitty remasters?

Sadly, I think not.

It should, but it won't.

Shitty about Del Toro. The Silent Hills bit he was working on looked to be amazing.

Mother fucking publishers

I still have P.T. on my PS4. Will never delete it. Creepiest thing I have ever played and it's not even close.

I even had the book.

P.T. is phenomenal. Reminds me, got a friend coming over tonight and I must make her play it...

It seems "cool" to hate on the new Tony Hawk game due to its bad graphics, even though most people claim they "don't care about graphics as long as the game is good," so how do you know the game isn't good.

Mostly the developer Robomodo doing the last 3 Tony Hawk games. Even giving them a pass on the two that used the board, they managed to fuck up Tony Hawk HD. They had no other work to do other than re-create some levels that were already made, but in doing so managed to ruin the physics and pressing grind suddenly gave the world gravity like Jupiter and sucked you down.

The latest footage actually doesn't look too bad in motion graphically, but my god, the actually gameplay looks like HD2.

If they just made a game that played like Skate 3 or THPS2 looking like that, but with a new world for new consoles, I'd be all over it.

This sure as fuck doesn't look like a game made in 2015.

He even said the grind button also serves as a "slam button". In theory, it sounds somewhat useful I guess..... but I think it will lead to more of

Side-scrolling beat em up version of FFVII. Fun game.

Rainbow 6: Siege pushed back to December 1st.

Well, looks like more time with Mad Max and Taken King until then.

That Windows 10 anti-piracy feature only applies to MS licensed services, such as xbox live and the windows games, etc. Doesn't apply to anything that does not tie into one of their direct services.

Should be

But there are no guarantees.
