The SIREN series are games were you NEED to be able to read the archive items you pickup; does the Asian version just have English voice or English text also? If not then its download content for me.

A little off topic, but anyone experience this before? I got an email saying £5 funds added to my PSN wallet - but I never did anything. £5 added, £6.50 in wallet according to the email. However on the psn store, it says the normal £1.50 left in wallet and in the transaction history theres nothing of this mystery £5. any ideas?

@ElijahDProphet:

In UK a mature student is a student over a certain age (25 I believe).

Also, I get the feeling that only one of these guys, the one credited with "creating" the art and stuff, was in on this. The other two probably had no idea, and must have loved their partner's "Hey guys, check out this art I made!" skills. Poor bastards.

@ClementXVII:

Im not sure about the screen shot theory, as most of the images don't match up to their equivalents if they were merely screens. They look almost like poorly put together reconstructions.

First person view was in Siren 2 as well. All that stuff is, except the Hollywood one-liners and the finishing moves.

@SG79:

really? i noticed the same camera views as SIREN 2 and 2's "easier" fight "game play". About the only thing "overhauled" in Siren 3 is the addition of finishing moves and Hollywood one-liners.

I have that 75 minute unused score, and I just hope they get it to work right in the game, it really wouldn't work in the movie at all.

Thu, 24 Apr 2008 10:18:35 MDT

This isn't a "remake", its more along the lines of alternate reality takes on the story - kind of like Stephen King's "Desperation" compared to Richard Bachmans's "The Regulators". ie, same character names, but different personalities and roles within the story, taking place in a different time than the first did, and so on.

J.A. commented on Resident Evil Zero Dated For Japan (And Only Japan)

Fri, 18 Apr 2008 08:04:03 MDT

Zero, but not REmake. That's bothering, considering Zero was so lackluster it forced them to drop the old RE game play and go the way of RE4.

J.A. commented on Siren Trailer Creeps The Hell Out Of My PS3

Fri, 18 Apr 2008 08:02:04 MDT

Been waiting for this. First was very unforgiving, the second fixed most of the game play problems but the story was a bit pants...

Only problem I see with this one is the dumbing down of characters etc. to Americanos, which was probably the result of:

"American's won't buy our game with Japanese characters and situations - lets make them American!"

Anyhow, looking forward to it regardless. Also, the Silent Hill siren etc., most people don't seem to realise that the creator of Silent Hill moved on to create the Siren series when he was done with the first SH game.

J.A. commented on Capcom Porting Another GameCube Resident Evil to BC Wii

Wed, 27 Feb 2008 09:47:29 MST

Yeesh, what's worse than another port is the fact that they're porting probably one of the most lackluster entries in the RE series.

I'm a huge RE fan (fav. game series ever), but even this blind fanboyism can't allow me to accept the boring piece of crap that Zero is.

Mikami was right.

Vader's apprentice is really just a figment of Vader's imagination (probably to fill in that dead wife, no friends, no family chasm).

That or Vader managed to manipulate those chlorine pools to create life, and thusly created the apprentice with mega powers (only to evidently lose the ability).

Hmm, glad there is a sequel but the Western developer thing is troubling, considering that the original game is just one big satire on America by the Japanese.

Saw this coming hahahahahhahahahahah ... ha.

Anyhow, I'm sure this will suck. Though, I'd play this game if we had to drive that little clown on his little bicycle around a dingy dungeon full of dead and dying people, avoiding severed appendages and losing control on blood slicks.

Thing I didn't like was that the jungle graphics weren't the best, and I don't mean quality - just, the level design; whatever reason, it didn't feel like a jungle.
