Black Sabbath Posted January 8, 2013 Share Posted January 8, 2013 Yeah the grass stater looks like ass. The direction thing will be interesting but either way, it's a big step into a new direction for the series. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tater Totts Posted January 8, 2013 Share Posted January 8, 2013 Very true, interested to see what else they do to change it up. If its still the same old game but with those graphics I will be a little disappointed, its time to shake things up a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black Sabbath Posted January 13, 2013 Share Posted January 13, 2013 The battle scenes look like everything I've always dreamed about though. Can't wait.Also, multiplayer Beta for God of War Ascension is fun as hell. Can't wait for the whole game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LightningBolt Posted January 23, 2013 Share Posted January 23, 2013 Nintendo thought today was E3 for some reason and revealed a ton of Wii U shit.They revealed a game called Yarn Yoshi. The team developing the game is the same one that did Kirby's Epic Yarn, and the director of the group is the same person who directed the development of Yoshi's Island and Yoshi's Story. I personally love both of those games so I'm looking forward to this.Then then revealed a full HD remake of Wind Waker.The Wonderful 101, one of Platinum Games' upcoming Wii U games, also got a new trailer. There was also a bit of information spilled about the next Zelda Wii U game (not Wind Waker, a brand new title).Nintendo’s brand new Zelda game for Wii U seeks to do away with the series’ conventions and surprise players, says Zelda series producer, Eiji Aonuma.What conventions? Things like completing dungeons in a set order or playing all by yourself. Effort was made into implementing some of these changes in The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword, but Nintendo were unable to do so.In the video above, Aonuma discusses the development philosophy behind the new Wii U Zelda, and also provides a glimpse at the Wii U remake of The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker.What does Aonuma mean when he says you won’t have to play by yourself? Are Nintendo planning to add a multiplayer element to the game? That could be interesting. Alternatively, perhaps it will be some sort of asynchronous multiplayer.Read more at http://www.siliconera.com/2013/01/23/zelda-wii-u-will-be-less-linear-may-have-multiplayer-aspect/#6praHlaupHiI6mGZ.99And then, Iwata announced that a new 3D Mario, Super Smash Bros. 4, and Mario Kart Wii U will all see official reveals at E3. We all knew these games were coming, obviously, but confirmation that they're coming this soon is a very nice surprise. I wasn't expecting to see anything concrete about Mario Kart or the 3D Mario until next year or something.There was also a developer video for Bayonetta 2, Platinum Games' other Wii U title.Monolith Soft, the developer of Xenoblade, also revealed their new game. And it looks fucking AMAZING. There's a video in the link.And then in news that came out of absolutely NOWHERE, a collaboration between Atlus and Nintendo was announced with a Shin Megami Tensei x Fire Emblem crossover. These are pretty niche series in the west, but I'm pumped. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black Sabbath Posted January 23, 2013 Share Posted January 23, 2013 Is Fire Emblem worth be selling my current 3DS to get the special/limited edition 3DS with the game in February?Also, Ni no Kuni: Wrath of the White Witch is really good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've heard the 3DS XL is a lot better so I may be getting that one instead. Not sure. It's such a tough decision. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black Sabbath Posted January 23, 2013 Share Posted January 23, 2013 I wish the limited edition Charizard black 3DS XL came out in America The XL is nice, and I like how the placement of the stylus isn't idiodic, but overall it doesn't greatly appeal to me. I don't know, we'll see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black Sabbath Posted January 25, 2013 Share Posted January 25, 2013 Am I the only one here that gets bugged by the over-the-shoulder view in games? I. E. Dead Space, UnchartedToo many games use that nowadays instead of traditional third-person. Who the hell asked for over the shoulder? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LightningBolt Posted February 2, 2013 Share Posted February 2, 2013 ps4 announcement in new york on the 20thYeah, it'll be interesting to see how much they show.Again, I'm not getting excited for this until I hear a confirmation that you can play used games on it. And even then, I expect this to be well out of my price range for the first couple of years, which isn't really a bad thing because it'll allow it to build up a respectable library of games (the PS3 always seemed like it had a terrible library of games for like the first three years).So yeah, 3DS and Wii U are next on my list and in an ideal world I'd get both of those before the end of 2013. I'll set the PS4 aside until it becomes affordable in a few years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, it's just so blatant that they have no regard for their consumers at this stage. And then that used games issue... Ugh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Black Sabbath Posted February 6, 2013 Share Posted February 6, 2013 Hopefully the PS4 doesn't have that bullshit. The online doesn't bother me, though is sucks for other people and will lose a lot of customers, but the used game shit is just fucking dumb.

LightningBolt Posted February 6, 2013 Share Posted February 6, 2013 I also think piracy is going to get out of control if they go through with this. I don't pirate anything, but I'm already waiting for the person to crack these consoles (assuming these rumors are true). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PappyTron Posted February 22, 2013 Share Posted February 22, 2013 I had to rescue this thread from 6 pages back!I cannot believe that Football Manager 2013 hasn't been cracked yet, despite being out for months. Football Manager is one of the most popular games franchises about, so it has certainly been in the sites of the crackers - yet, they haven't managed to break its DRM protection.Do you think that we are finally starting to reach a stage where companies have the ability to make crack-proof games?

James Bond Posted February 22, 2013 Share Posted February 22, 2013 Kind of off the latest topic of the new system announcements, but I was bored the other night and whipped out Rocky on the Gamecube. One of the best button mashers of all time. Graphics are actually pretty good as far as Gamecube goes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ADPT Posted February 22, 2013 Share Posted February 22, 2013 I finished the new Hitman game recently. That was a real chore towards the end. Please ditch the damn disguise system for the next one or don't the fill the game with so many linear levels. Also found my copy of Far Cry 2, which was bundled with my Xbox when I first bought it. Decided to give it another chance and soon thought 'ah yes, the respawning murderous guards, now I remember why I stopped playing'. Until I turned the crosshairs off and ramped up the difficulty. What a difference. Hike around posts in the sprawling hills and plan my attacks. Gunfights are tersely brutal affairs and there's the tension of a malaria attack or a gun jamming or a stray RPG shot causing chaos. It's incredibly immersive. Wished I'd played it sooner.

KetchupNotMayo Posted February 22, 2013 Share Posted February 22, 2013 Got a stack of games and only finished roughly half of em.

They did it last year too but it was eventually cracked after a couple of weeks. The activation thing pissed a lot of people off but I can see why they did it... Football Manager is one of the most popular franchises but it's also far and away the most pirated. I've been playing it since the Championship Manager days and I think I only paid for it once Apparently those two weeks of piracy-free sales last year was enough to hire 18 more developers.
