3 Dicks Out For Trips

Ive actually never played suikoden but have been thinking of trying them out. I've only heard good things for the most part.
Right now I'm actually finishing up Chrono Cross. Can't believe I never played it until now considering Trigger is one of my 2 favorite games ever. |

Open world, proper RPG style.
5 was open world map too. McDohl would show up, as would Yuber and Persmerga. I think most of the true Runes make you immortal. I could be wrong though (I think that was mentioned in three, because Geddoe was supposed to be older than he appeared, wasn't he?) Star Dragon Sword would still be around. Not to mention you could easily have some other characters who up because of Vicki. Hell, part of the story could be an older Vicki, having mastered her powers, able to take you back in time at certain points and collect some people... Which would be a great way to finish the Victor and Flik saga, and explain why they were absent in 3. |

5 does some things amazingly well. For example, all characters have a pre-fight pose and a post fight pose, some of which are more awesome than others. For example, one character has his sword sheathed at his side prior to the fight, and his pre-fight pose, instead of pulling the sword out, is yanking the sheath backwards and throwing it off to the side.
There's just a lot of little details that made the game great. BUT, the main character is REALLY effeminate. |

I respect your input on that, OssMan, I'm just a diehard Suikoden fan and would love to recreate the fun factor I had playing these games from years ago.

According to a recent leak from the official Ubisoft forums, Ubisoft is considering another reboot for their Prince of Persia franchise with this time being potentially influenced by the Assassin's Creed series.
Years ago Ubisoft was rumored to be considering rebooting the franchise under the codename of "Prince of Persia Zero" before it was cancelled and replaced with the cell-shaded 2008 Prince of Persia game. The new leak suggests another attempt at PoP Zero, this time nicknamed "Prince of Persia Zero 2", is currently in the making with the leaked screen showing off the code name. People are already suggesting the new Prince of Persia game will be heavily influenced by the Assassin's Creed series based on the screen shots leaked with a lot of concern coming from the official forums over the potentially new direction. Ubisoft has yet to respond to the leak at the moment. http://www.screwattack.com/news/rumo...e-persa-reboot http://www.egmnow.com/articles/news/...-2-screenshot/ _____________________________________________________________ Daily Recap: 1) Update to EA suing Zynga as Zynga claims EA themselves are also copycats with claims of The Sims Social being a copy of Zynga's own CityVille. http://www.destructoid.com/ea-vs-zyn...o-232634.phtml http://www.egmnow.com/articles/news/...ginal-pokemon/ (Ignore the link name since EGMNow goofed up a bit) 2) Similar to the idea behind Nintendo Selects, Sony announces they have started a new series for their first party games called "Playstaion Collections" with the God of War Saga and Infamous Collection as the first two sets available and a $30 price tag for each. http://www.screwattack.com/news/play...tles-necessity http://www.egmnow.com/articles/news/...s-collections/ 3) New screens and details were revealed for Darksiders II with a Horde-like Arena mode consisting of 100 waves with rewards carrying over to single player and a full New Game+ mode which allows all equipment and items to be carried over for a new playthrough. http://www.egmnow.com/articles/news/...plus-features/ http://www.siliconera.com/2012/08/06...es-of-enemies/ |

Well considering the original Assassins Creed was planned to be a P.o.P game originally but slowly took out the prince element. I can definitely see them using the same sort of gameplay.

Ubisoft should have had a sequel to the reboot that had the beautiful graphics out already.

""
said Kalyx to himself one lonely night while staring at his ex girlfriend's longerie he bought for their anniversary. Later that night, Kalyx took a step outside, a deep breath, and exhaled...finally feeling the weight slide off his shoulders from years a fire inside just waiting to come out. But what to do with his new found freedom? Kalyx thought long and hard, but then a slight smile crept onto his face... (next poster continues) |

Indeed. I'm not saying the PoP game after that (the one based off sands of time or whatever) was bad, but that cell-shaded reboot made my day. One of my favorite action games of this console generation, if not ever.

Based on recent job postings, the next Xbox console will arrive within the next 18 months and would include Skype.
Microsoft has been rumored to now be looking at a late 2013 release date after earlier rumors of a late 2012 to early 2013 release won't be occurring. Quote:
Microsoft bought Skype mid-2011 for around $8.5 billion and have been rumored ever since to be expanding the service to every platform with the next Xbox console being included. Quote:

According to a recent announcement by Game Informer and a few rumors, a huge announcement will occur during the upcoming Gamescom expo.
The announcement might be the official debut of Half-Life 3 after Game Informer reveals they are not allowed to show a preview of their upcoming issue's cover since it would spoil the "world premeier" announcement. Also contributing to the rumors of the announcement being Half Life 3 is due to Game Trailers who stated they have a special trailer video dedicated to just Valve which will occur on September 16 or 17. The announcement is expected to occur during the EA press conference which also is a publisher for Valve games on consoles. Quote:

Thats also the same day as the Sony press conference if I'm not mistaken. Could be next-gen console related, perhaps.
I'm hoping it's HL3 though....finally. |

The Last Guardian Trademark wasn't dropped per se. Its status as "abandoned" comes from a failure to demonstrate use or file for an extension. It doesn't strike me as unlikely it slipped through the cracks. Though neither will I hold my breath for its release.
