Since I don't remember anybody else talking about here , what does everyone think about the rumor that Resident Evil 5 is going to be the "last" resident evil game in the current form , and that Resident Evil 6 is going to be a reboot?

I think it sucks balls that the last RE of its kind is going to be a mandatory co-op game. I was hoping for at least one more RE4 but I guess that won't happen.

Considering that most of the Resident Evil games have followed a buddy system of sorts , its kinda surprising that its taken this long to have a true co-op Resident Evil. As for one more like RE4 , who's to say that the reboot game(s) won't play like that?
What bothers me a bit about the thought of RE5 being the last , is that is it possible to RE5 to resolve everything left in the series? I mean , I'm kinda off on where the story is at , since I haven't played through RE4 yet , but it seemed like they still had a lot of story to resolve/expand upon.
It leaves me to wonder , when they say RE6 will reboot the series , are they going to reboot it the same as before and just clean up and improve the story , or is the series going to go somewhere totally different? I assume the later , since if they were going to do the former , they probably would've just kept remaking the older games after the first.

When I read 'reboot' I got the impression that they're going to revamp the gameplay like RE3 to RE4. I didn't even consider the story.

When I read 'reboot' I got the impression that they're going to revamp the gameplay like RE3 to RE4. I didn't even consider the story.
Since they've only really had two games in the series to follow the new control style , it seems kinda strange to make a big deal about "rebooting" it if that's all they meant. Then again it's kinda hard to know what to go on based off of a vague quote such as this:
Capcom's producer Jun Takeuchi mentioned that Biohazard 5 [Resident Evil 5] will be the last game of its kind in the series. Biohazard 6 [Resident Evil 6] will be a reboot of the series, although this does not suggest anything wrong with the current direction.It could certainly go either way. The changing the gameplay thing does make a bit more sense though , following that they plan to keep the numbering for the games and not restart at 1.

So I just bought Braid this morning and I've just now finished it. And I've come to the conclusion that is completely okay. Definitely not worth $15, and at $10...just might be worth it. It doesn't have a lot of replay value, and I probably won't play it again. It's somewhat enjoyable, if not a little frustrating at times due to the precise nature of some of the puzzles. Overall...I'd give it a 7/10.

I'll eventually buy the SF and MGS Sackboy costumes. Just not in the "near" future. Meanwhile, I'm going to start Final Fantasy 9 for like the 100th time. Though I may be able to handle it this time around. Create Fighting Warriors and putting my copy of FF9 on my psp. There's a message in the capital letters on the first three words I just don't know how "legal" talking about putting my own games on it is looked upon.
And I'm very eager to try out the KZ2 demo tomorrow.

Holy shit, you're right, I completely forgot about it.
Yah, for LP2, 360 is just the dev platform. PS3 will be a port.
My KZ2 pre-order is from amazon and they haven't even put it into process yet, so I guess I won't be playing it until next weekend at least.

Hmm... well I dunno if the 360 is the dev platform... if that shit's still using MT Framework, then it's being made on the PC just like the others. Probably just MS trying to drum up hype for LP2 as a 360 game. The bastards.

My understanding (such that it is of course) is that 360 and PC tools are more or less the same--at least the code is portable between the two. PS3 is the odd man out with Cell and it's own libraries.

PS3 is a computer too. All the systems are.
The difference as far as the software goes is the processing engine/language/libraries/tools behind it.
PC and 360 tools are, for my lack of better terminology, portable while PS3 is its own animal. I dunno if Sony's libraries have bridged the gap yet or not, just that it was more limited earlier in the system's life.

Small world, uh? Why do people keep calling Seth cheap? He's such a bitch once you know how to beat him. Once I unlocked him, I tried him out once and never wanna play as him again. Also... Capcom didn't make it that damned hard to unlock Gouken, they even gave you three easy settings and round options.
Seth is cheap, but not as cheap as bosses from some other fighting games. He combos and transitions into specials in a way that is not possible by a player. He also takes and does damage differently.
Of course, when he becomes player-controlled, these AI advantages are lost.
I agree that Capcom cut everyone a break by allowing the unlockables regardless of difficulty or other settings.

Heh, I found this interesting. A quote from a Midway dev:
The politically incorrect answer is that the PS3 is a huge pain in the ass. Anyone making a game, if you're going to make it for both [360 and PS3], just lead on the PS3 because if it works on the PS3 it'll work on 360.
The easiest way to look at it is, the 360 has one big chunk of memory, but the PS3 has two chunks of memory that in total are the same size as the Xbox, but because they're split you can't share memory the same way. That will bite you in the ass, and it bit us in the ass bad.
We had to play catch up on the PS3 because of the memory constraints and how it renders, how it processes is just different. And it's harder on the PS3. The Xbox is just like a dumb PC, which is great because it's easier to build a game on a PC.

Seth is cheap, but not as cheap as bosses from some other fighting games. He combos and transitions into specials in a way that is not possible by a player. He also takes and does damage differently.
Of course, when he becomes player-controlled, these AI advantages are lost.
I agree that Capcom cut everyone a break by allowing the unlockables regardless of difficulty or other settings.
Anybody remember goro (sp?) from the original Mortal Kombat. That guy was a bitch. But then again, I haven't really played a fighting game since Mortal Kombat 3 (if those even count as "fighting" games) so take my opinion with a grain of salt.

The wii has some decent titles.
New Guilty Gear, Pikmin re-release, and the Indiana Jones game which has the Fate of Atlantis as a bonus.
The DS has a rocking line up.
Devil Survivor, Knights in the Knightmare, Tokyo Beatdown, Super Robot Wars, Rythmn Heaven, and Pokemon Platnium.
I would say the DS has the best line up for the next 6 months.
The only other two games I am interested in the next six months are RE5, and Madworld.

You don't need the costumes to complete the game. Not one of the costumes will give you a more powerful ultra. Not one of them will unlock some secret groove. Not one of them will make your character faster or stronger.
Here's another point I have. You just said that you're a whore. Capcom is catering to you like horny frat boys pump alcohol into a different type of whore. They know you'll put out. You can't help it. Does it make them bad people. No it makes them smart for knowing what it takes to get what they want. It's your bad for not being strong willed enough to say no.
EDIT -- For people bitching about content on the disc already, get over it. Would you rather have them make it a bigger download that takes up more space on your hard drive?

Yes I do, the game's incomplete upon release, they're already withholding content made for it.
I never denied that I was their target audience. ;)
@EDIT - No, I'd prefer they let us use the content they made for the game rather than withholding it from us and selling us an incomplete product.

Truth.
If I'm ever tempted to buy DLC, which is unlikely cos I'm so tight, I'll certainly be saying NO to any that's an 108Kb unlock code.
Yes I do, the game's incomplete upon release, they're already withholding content made for it.
So Mass Effect, Fallout 3, GTAIV, and the like...all "incomplete"?
I know you're not dismissing all DLC (are you?), but seems strange to pick and choose what kind of DLC qualifies for this whole "incomplete" assessment.
Anyway, I can't write off Street Fighter IV as "incomplete" or "broken", because it does pretty much everything I expected it to. And the Quick Match stuff is supposedly going to be a [free] patch later on. It might matter to some folks that it's not ready on release, but me personally, I can wait.

Ok, I'll state my opinion. ANY game that has DLC made for it the moment it releases, it is incomplete. However, DLC for Mass Effect, Fallout 3 and GTAIV are perfectly fine because they were made afterwards.

Well a big clue is when the "content" is a tiny file < 1 Mb, but admittedly for anything else you can't be sure when they started development.
As willard said, paying for cheat codes is not acceptable, at least not to me.

They did it because people will buy it. Like it or not, SF will more than likely be a hardcore thing in just a few months.
Capcom has a responsibility to it's shareholders to maxmize profit. With fighting games, that's within a few weeks of release if not day one. Killzone 2 comes out tomorrow. Resident Evil 5 comes out next month. The ADD-addled gamers of the world are playing and buying DLC for SF right now. Those same costume packs wouldn't make as much money next month or maybe even next week.
EDIT -- They're not "cheat codes". Not one of them offers you extra strength, more life bar, or some sort of advantage to be had on the playing field. These are Barbie outfits that offer zero extra replayability or add anything to the real gaming experience. Should they have been left in. Sure. But it's not like we have to buy them. They didn't say Ryu's free but you gotta pay for Ken. They're asking extra for some costumes.
You make a good point, but some companies make it blatantly obvious. I mean, cmon, first day DLC?
I understand. I don't necessarily see that as a problem, though, unless it really impairs the playability or replayability of a game. There is a fine line though as far as what exactly is going too far in making customers pay for extra stuff, regardless of when they release it.
Stuff like cheat codes is kinda dumb though because of the Interwebz. Couldn't someone just leak it out?
Really, the only thing we can do as consumers is not buy it if it really bothers us. So clearly, the right thing for you to do is not give in to your self-professed desire to pick it up. Be strong, mayng!! ;)

Ok, so long story.
Short version my boss decided he was done with gaming and said I could have his XBL account (on a 512MB memory card he gave me) that has 45,000+ achievements, tons and tons of XBLA games, download content and 3600+ of MS points
Long story I have an XBL account under the same name as my CAG name (xSL4INx). My boss decided that he was done with gaming today after his 60 something hour save file of SFIV corrupted on him (this isn't the first time, it also happened on his 60 something hour file of SCIV and one other game). He stormed into work with a tub full of video game stuff and I asked him "what is that stuff?" and he exclaimed "put it all away and out for sell" (I work in a retail game store). As I was doing this, I noticed it was all his 360 stuff (system, tons of accesories, 80+ games, etc) and asked what was up. He told me that his file on SFIV corrupted and that this was the last straw. He is done with Xbox 360 and gaming because this has happened multiple times before and upon leaving he told me I could have his XBL account (which has tons of arcade games, 45000+ achievements and 3600+ MS points on it). The dilemma here is what do I do with both accounts? My own personal account has some things that I would not like to lose (a few arcade games that my boss didn't have, 80+ hours invested into Burnout Paradise, Fable 2 LE content are the main things) but on the other side, he has tons of arcade games I don't have, XBL sub until the end of the year and such.
So GGT, what do I do?

I have an urge to sell my TV and get a Kuro Elite before they're gone.
I wonder if prices for them will go up in the future.
It'll be 5 years before a comparable TV comes out again now that SXRD and now Kuro are gone.

Can't you put both accounts on your harddrive, giving you access to all of the XBLA games no matter who is signed in, or doesn't it work that way?

Use both. Who cares if he has a lot of achievements? Spend his points and use his sub until it runs out. Then go back to your account.
Can't you put both accounts on your harddrive, giving you access to all of the XBLA games no matter who is signed in, or doesn't it work that way?
Yes, it does work that way.

Thats exactly what I did. I registered a US account accidentally so I wasn't able to use Canadian points cards. Just made a new Canadian account to use my points. Everything works on both accounts, minus saves of course.

dallow
02-27-2009, 11:41 AM
They're pretty much still at least $2500+ for the 50" models.
Regular Kuros are less and I'm considering them as well.
If I did get an Elite, first thing I do is hire someone to do I.S.F calibration, so overall cost is even more.
Actually, I still need to get someone to do that on my current TV.
FloodsAreUponUS
02-27-2009, 11:48 AM
I dont think the elites are worth the 800+ premium.
You can get a 5020 from abes of maine for 1850 before live cash back, and it comes with a free wallmount.
dallow
02-27-2009, 11:51 AM
That's a pretty good price... just a little more than what I paid for my TV and I'd rather have the Kuro than my SXRD.
Yeah, the premium is too high for the more subtle color enchancments you can make to the Elite.
I really wonder what the cost for second-hand Kuros will be a year from now.
