Not sure about Skies InuFaye, I guess asking around won't hurt.

I do know that Capcom has a big announcement coming soon. !
 
the "not technical reasons" is typical dyack BS. Nobody honestly believes they removed the feature just for gameplay's sake. Especially online where the camera and hectic excuses don't work.

F-Zero GX is so good. I've been playing it again while listening to podcasts. Beautiful game, great controls.

Sony First Party has no soul. Their games just feel cheap. Killzone 2 is going to fail.
 
Not Dead Rising related, unfortunately. But Dead Rising 2 is being worked on by Capcom, it just isn't scheduled for into/work anytime soon.
 
I forgot that jer has been apart of SK for the past 10 years and knows everything that happens there.

YAY! More Dead Rising.

Its the best, worst game ever.

But yea, maybe Rockstar can release state of emgergency again exclusive to PS3? It'll GAIN HYPE like crazy!

[/QUOTE]



haha, exactly. Time + obscure game + exclusive = hype. It doesn't even have to be sequel...if it's announced then ignored for a year, that works too. When Afrika pops up again, the CAG servers will melt. Omg it's that game we saw, then it disappeared, but now we're seeing it again...and it's exclusive!!!
 
Don't forget about Dead Space. Coming in October, its the big fall release I'm keeping an eye on. The hype hasn't really taken off on this game yet, but I'm hoping that by E3, there will be some gameplay vids to look at.

or anything with GTA, Halo, or COD.

Its all about Branding and Market Placement.


EA had an event yesterday and details should be out for it by now.

those are to be expected and with those 3 games you can expect a certain level of quality. it's the hype for the random games that's so weird.
 
[quote name='Apossum']
and the hype around Killzone 2 is like something out of the twilight zone. KZ1 sucked...everything about it sucked. badly. :lol:[/QUOTE]

I don't know. I liked KZ1 alot, but I do recognize how clunky and problematic it was. I think the universe was too strong for the PS2 to handle it. IMHO they should have waited for the PS3 anyway.

Mega Man S!

I'm running out of KEWL JAPANESE LETTERS for Mega Man titles. But I hope it's a high-res 2D, console Mega Man.

Though really big news would be a Capcom Classics Collection Vol. 3.
 
All they need to do is fix the save system for Dead Rising 2 and I'll give it a shot. I'm sure they can find other things to fix as well though.
 
[quote name='Krymner']Fixed that one for ya Chac.[/QUOTE]

Actually yeah, I forgot about that. I'd take that over a CCC Vol. 3, honestly.

Though I hope it's something really great like "Capcom is publishing Persona 2: IS and EP on the PSP for Atlus."

Naw, they really need to fix the controls and give Frank more agility (dodging and such.) Cool concept, but the gameplay just lacked the visceral-ness it needed.
 
i think i played a demo of killzone. was that one where you used cover?

i expect gow2 to be fun. i liked the original, co-op was fun, and i hope they tweak multiplayer so it's not a bunch of people rolling around shotgunning each other.

i also really, really, really, really, really, really like zewone's avatar.

Yeah that too, but being thrown back to the title screen after dying is just horrible game design. When you die you should be given the option to retry that mission (if you were doing one) instead of being back at the title screen forced to do it all over again.
 
Man, I could make some pretty solid moolah off of my LoZ: Collector's Edition and Street Fighter Anniversary Collection (Xbox). How much does eBay take from your sales nowadays? I've got TWO of the Guile SF Xbox controllers as well. That would bump up the final bid AND shipping. Woo! I wonder if I'll miss any of my expensive gaming crap? I really need some money right now (speeding tickets, keeping my car running, etc.), and my games are the only thing I have left. What to do, what to do...
 
This is why I say Dead Rising is the worst best game you will ever play.

I think the best news this week is the Platinum Games/ Sega Deal.
 
whoo~!! they approved my account at NeoGAF!

now I can post in the official markmayn thread of show off your sheeyit~~

I'm playing Paper Mario on Wii that I DL from the virtual console....

It should just be Sporsk and the other mods by now.
 
I donno.. wen I get bored I usually just browse the forum to read what ppl are talking about... I do it like everyday

so... maybe my account has sum kinda high activity that logs whenever I browse???

maybe that helped... who kno?
 
MGS2 just feels very different from 1. It's almost lost a little bit of the PS1 title's charm, I think. But, I'm like 1/2 an hour into it, so what do I know? ;)

Time to hit the gym!
 
All right, I was going to avoid the GGT until I realized I just had to post to clear things up.
[quote name='Krymner']
I took a look at Sony's 1st-party release list for the rest of '08 and early '09, and its kinda lackluster, IMO. No real "must-buy on day one" games there.[/QUOTE]


[quote name='daroga']Yeah, I was pretty shocked by how 'meh' that lineup is looking. Doesn't look like I'm destined to own any PS3 retail games for quite a while now.[/QUOTE]LittleBigPlanet is very big. ;) Unless someone isn't into FPS, R2 is pretty big because Insomniac is one of the best developers out there, Resistance 2 looks to improve the first in multiple ways (the first was pretty good too, just needed more impressive graphics and maybe a few other refinements). There's a decent number of stuff from the list I want.

As for PSN Games, I am telling everyone that the list ONLY goes up to Summer 08. Does not include any Fall 08 or Winter 08 games (which will be silently revealed at E3 mostly, like last year).

But to let everyone know, every single year, SCEA (not SCEJ or SCEE) will announce release dates (or time frames) for games they KNOW for sure will be out this year. Most every game is not surprising, or if it is something they haven't announced, it's normally another installment of a game they already made many installments on a particular platform (like during the PS2 era, they kept announcing a new SOCOM, R&C, Jak, and Sly during the same time). This does NOT include any possible surprise at E3 or any other game that has an embargo stuck on it. I know many are wondering about a Team ICO game, Afrika, White Knight Story, etc., but they will NOT be mentioned by SCEA themselves until they are released (or near release) in their respective territory (either Japan or Europe). SCEA kept quiet about Hot Shots Golf: OoB, Wipeout Pulse, Hot Shots Golf: Open Tee 2, and to an extent GT5P release date until they were released in their respective territories first. Once a game is finished there, the other regions will pick the game up and translate it (if they choose to bring it over. If not, other publishers can).

And anyway, what types of big/must-buy games were you expecting then?

-God of War 3 will not come until early 2009 at the earliest, because God of War 1 and 2 were spaced out about 2 years, and I highly doubt it will take them less than 2 years to make God of War 3.

-A new Syphon Filter (which is what I badly want) will not come out until at least later 2009, since the developers just finished Logan's Shadow back in October 2007.

-A PS3 Twisted Metal is a ways off, since Eat Play Sleep is only like a year old or so, and their first game was just a PSP port with a few extras.

-As for InFAMOUS, it has been said the developers took some time off after Sly 3 (I believe SCEA doesn't own Sucker Punch either, although I could be wrong), and then started development. Rumor is the development is in serious trouble and might be dropped by SCEA, but right now it is listed as 09 (but we really don't know what's going on.

-A new Naughty Dog game will not come out until next year. With Jak on PS2, they released it during the 2nd year of PS2, then released the next in the 4th year. Since Uncharted was just finished and it will be year 3 for PS3, I don't expect anything until next year.

-Insomniac is now pumping out a game a year it seems. Last year was Ratchet & Clank, this year is Resistance. Next year it is very likely they'll bring out a platformer.

-Zipper Interactive, we don't know. While Idol Minds, I have no idea whether they are still with SCEA. Incognito (originally Single Trac mostly) is pretty much dead, but I now refer to them as Eat Play Sleep basically

There are a bunch of games coming from Japan (we just heard Team Siren's game, but there's Team ICO's game, Team Saru, etc.), but like I said before, we will not know anything until SCEJ announces them themselves, and either releases it or gets near release (is when we know whether SCEA is bringing the game over and when). And there are definitely a lot of games in development at Europe (like in SCEE's Liverpool, Cambridge, more games from London, and other developers), but we will not have firm releases until SCEE makes the announcements (and possibly releases the games).

The only games that do not go this route, are the few (and I mean only a few, like maybe 4 a year) which are targeted for all regions about the same time (Part of an SCE Worldwide games).

Overall, there WILL be more games. SCEA is ONLY listing games they've already mentioned (or ones we already know about) for now, until E3 (so the judges know what to expect and such). If anyone though God of War 3 was being revealed today, is foolish.

Also, I noticed the release doesn't even mention PS2 SingStar games coming along with Volume 2 on PS3 (partially because a PS3 SingStar comes soon, and these are SCEE games), so it's not complete.

Although if anyone is curious about SCEA releases, check this out (although PoPoLoCrois II on PS1 never came stateside by them, or at all):

[quote name='MarkMan']Yea seriously, I don't understand the Killzone hype...

I played part 1, and I didn't like it at all, didn't even try to finish it.[/quote]I liked part 1, but will not deny it was far from perfect.

I don't get the hype formula / PS fanboys trying to reach for anything they can (here's looking at you TMK if you're reading this)... If you do reply, I'd expect the same 4 paragraph reply template you use to poorly illustrate your point, mixed in with a smiley face somewhere.
I enjoyed Killzone for what it was, felt Liberation was excellent, and that's why I want Killzone 2. Also, Guerilla has greatly expanded, got a new head producer, and has completely turned around since Killzone was released (especially after SCEA bought them out). Before being owned by SCEA, Naughty Dog use to not be really anything special, and now they are one of the best.


BTW, I can understand hype for Resistance 2. 8 player coop will be fun. (Assuming that it is done right...)

We can have GGT Squad Alpha ready and waiting to go into battle ;)

Sign me up.
Although Killzone 2 has the better graphics, I do feel R2 deserves more hype. The first was very good (especially for a launch game) and the sequel looks to be way better, which is why I'm excited.

Resistance 2(TM) — PS3 (Available Fall 2008 / Not Yet Rated) Badly want
Killzone(TM) 2 — PS3 (Available February 2009 / Not Yet Rated)

It's not listed, but coming out next week, I BADLY want SingStar on PS3. :D If SingStar Volume 2 comes out later this year, I will buy that too.

This is just 1st party stuff. Lots of third party stuff I want too. Valkyria Chronicles is one of the games I want most.
[quote name='MarkMan']Aw man TMK, u didnt use a smiley ;) welcome back

EDIT: O WAIT u did... lol[/QUOTE]I thought I did. ;)
 
Rest of this year:

Tales of Vesperia
Valkyria Chronicles
Tales of Symphonia 2
Too Human
Force Unleashed
Soul Calibur 4
MGS4
NG2

Thats enough money on ghamez.
 
lol zewone nailed it.

I knew the Mana PR spew wouldn't be too far behind the Sony first party is meh statements. Difference is I read everyone's post except that one. Mana's writing is physically tiring to read. He averages about 2-3 words before my head begins to hurt because It's embarassing to think someone actually talks like he does, and because everything he says is so backwards.

Boom Blox. It's awesome. Someone should make a 360 game where the entire world is created of blocks that react with full physics wherever you go. It could make for a fun, messy, physics filled shooter or platforming game. I don't care if the graphics are simple flat shading or whatever.

Oh and Secret Agent Clank is a Splinter Cell ripoff with terrible controls, it's going to be awful. Portable+one analog+restart if seen stealth gameplay makes me want to throw up.
 
Rest of the year (for sure) games/stuff for me:

MGS4 LE PS3 Bundle
Ninja Gaiden II
Lego Indiana Jones
Soul Calibur IV
Star Wars: Force Unleashed
Tekken 6*
Persona 4*
Initial D Extreme Stage

* tentatively scheduled for 2008.

I'm sure I'll buy a bunch of other games in between those, but those are ones I will get day 1 no matter what.

[quote name='The Mana Knight'][insert 1,000 word essay about bullshit nobody cares about][/quote]

Why must you respond to everyone's bullshit against Sony with some stupid shit tooting their horn? Its obvious they're bashing them for a reason, its a matter of preference and opinion. IMO, Home and Little Big Planet are by far the worst things I've ever seen next to WiiFit, but I don't shit my pants every time someone says they hate a game I like. I know you get tired of people bashing your preference, but really, nobody is talking to you directly. Its like your response is trying to convince somebody to think otherwise, which I know you'll say you're not trying to, but read your shit over again and tell me you're not. We know you love Sony because you mention it once, maybe twice a day, but just shut up when it comes to other peoples opinions because you're not changing shit. Only thing you're doing is having more and more people put you on block for it.

Its called an opinion, mothafucka, learn to respect one.
 
For me, I've tentatively pre-ordered:

MGSIV LE
NG2
Tales of Vesperia
Tales of Symphonia: Dawnofsomethingorother
Bangaio Spirits
Initial D
Sengoku Basara X LE
Summon Knight Twin Age
SCIV
Gears 2
Fable 2
RE:5

Sounds like a lot but most of these are from amazon, where I have credits (yay amazon visa) and/or took advantage of pre-order (gold box or other) deals.

MGSIV LE is reserved @ GS w/credits.

The import stuff I used Playsia/Strikebang coupons.

What's nice too about amazon is that it's easy to cancel stuff should I change my mind or find better deals.

There's other games I'm looking at for this year too but can hold off for price drops or specials or there's no preorder available yet.
 
I'll talk about it all I want- Like many others I was under the assumption that it was a R&C style platformer with some stealth elements or gadgets, not a heavily trial and error stealth focused title.

I don't like to plan things out for the whole year, purchasing wise. I know I'll be buying Ninja Gaiden 2 next. I might get some wii points cards today though and get some Wiiware stuff, if I've got room.

Little Big Planet and Home look stupid. Wii Fit is overpriced. Gears 2 is meh.

Equal opportunity hater.
 
all these games look nice. i'd be down for some SC4, T6, MGS4.

but my days of BSing in college are over, i actually have a backlog wtf. and i thought backlogs were silly. and mine is only like 4-5 games long. FES, Blue Dragon, MGS1, GTA4, MGS2?

i like playing games when they come out so i can talk to others about them
but damn. this is too much. gotta slow it down. -_-;

Lego Indiana Jones should be on more "excited this is coming out" lists. I'm looking forward to it, but looking forward to Lego Batman even more. Assuming they stick to what made Lego Star Wars fun (humor, decent platforming, attainable goals, etc.), those will be had by me.
 
It's getting ugly in here again. For what it's worth, you couldn't pay me to play any of those sony first party games. Played some DQ2 and some GTA today. Band practice and Pabst drinking the rest of the night. Friday's are my day off from the kids as the wife does not work on friday.

There is your problem.

Don't assume.
 
LBP kinda remains to be seen. Things that have home-made stuff as an option is cool. Games that rely on my or any other fool's creativity? Not so much. You'll have gems, sure, but not as much as a professional developer team would make. Unless I'm mistaken, will LBP be a full-fledged game with just a custom-level option? That would be better.

I'll probably get MGS4, but not anytime soon unless I somehow plow through MGS2, 3, GTA4, and NG2 before it hits. Doubtful on all counts there since I'll probably be moving around the time it hits. I'll find out where I'll be moving this Thursday!

Well, Persona 3, Mercury Meltdown, and Wipeout Pure are on their way out. Leaving just the MGS games in the backlog, with Crisis Core and GTA4 in-progress. Got all but one character unlocked today in MK: Wii. Not sure I have the stamina to try to 1 star every GP, but I've got a fair number done already. 50cc is sooooo slow after you've been playing Mirror. :p

My future purchases look like:
NG2
Lego Indiana Jones
Space Invaders: Extreme
MGS4

Time to hit the shower. Anyone up for Halo 3 in a bit?
