That's actually very impressive... hopefully someone will use that technology on a more interesting game.
I miss shooting aliens and demons.. :(
The same? No, but it's still a rip-off.. after all, the code and how everything works doesn't matter to the players buying and playing the game.
I'm just using the term "steal" cause that's what's being used in the article... copying would be a better term.
""Can you imagine a world in which one could take legal recourse for game mechanics being stolen?" he writes. "That would mean no more platformers after Super Mario Bros., no more first-person shooters after Doom, no more real-time strategy games after Command & Conquer.""

There's no problem in stealing a game mechanic... the problem is when you steal the whole game. It's one thing to get the jumping and running mechanics from Mario and make a new game about a cat on a medieval setting getting fishes instead of coins, or something... it's a completely different thing to copy the mechanics and the aesthetics of a game like Zynga does a lot of times. Every good Doom and Mario "clones" out there added something to the formula and weren't just soulless copies.

Sure, a great job for a fan trailer..

But I wouldn't want a WW2 looking like that...

It actually looks uglier than the original WW to me. The animation is not as fluid and the black borders don't fit.
"Also, people, I know you love Sony exclusives, but the fact is that the market doesn't really care. It considers most of Sony's exclusives to be B-level games."

True, while stuff like Patapon and LocoRoco are great, Sony doesn't have any first-party handheld exclusive that are system sellers like Mario and Pokemon. What sold the PSP in Japan was Monster Hunter, and now the 3DS has it too... Sony needs a big first-party if they want the Vita to survive. They pulled of God of War and Uncharted for the PS2 and PS3, but Sony has the bad habit of leaving the portable versions to smaller teams, they need to do like Nintendo and threat their handheld games better. The team that worked on Super Mario 3D Land is the same that worked on Mario Galaxy, the DS Zelda's were made by the same guys working the Wii Zelda's. Sony needs to get Naughty Dog, Santa Monica Studio, etc to work on Vita titles instead of some random studio.

Yessss! Hopefully Shooter will follow!
THAT'S NOT A 6, IT'S A LAMBDA!

IT'S A RESIDENT EVIL X HALF-LIFE CROSSOVER!!

I remember when the Wii came out and Ed Boon made a video showing how the game was easier with Wii controls... it played like crap.

I don't expect anything better here...

So, they realized that the market was already flooded with cute mascot platform games and decided to make something different... oh, if only every company thought like that :/
It's an award for new developers. The developer behind Terraria had a good debut, the game is great and sold very well.
"Best Debut
Team Bondi (L.A. Noire)"

That's kinda sad :(

Came here to post this song...

My favorite in the game... got it stuck in my head like no other game music this year.

True, better items then TP.

But, the beetle was the only true new item, and it was very well used. The whip was already in Spirit Tracks and anyway it has the same use as the Grappling hook in The Wind Waker and Phantom Hourglass (though using it to get stuff behind bars was never done before and it's very clever). The gust blower was already in Minish Cap, and it could also suck air in that game, making it even more useful.

New items would be a good start.

After having played pretty much every Zelda game out there, Skyward Sword was pretty predictable to me. Every dungeon I walked into, after 5 minutes I already knew what item I would get just by looking at the room. Also, every time I saw an unreachable area I knew that I would have to go there in the second part of the game. So, think about some new items or at least new ways to use the traditional ones, SS found a lot of new ways to use the sword, thanks to motion controls.

OMG How did you found out!??? Dammit I was liking this planet, didn't want to kill everyone :/

Anyway, I don't think think Gamestop would call it's clients telling them the game was canceled just because they're feeling like it, something happened there. Of course, it could be just some misinformation.

Every rumor has a little of truth in it, something is going on here.

My bet is that the game was moved to PS4/Vita or is now a PSN only title.

It's also messing the events of the cartoon series!
