So the mission mode that we got included in NGB is now an extra add-on (that costs $10?!), and for that $10 we get half the amount of missions?

Fuck you, Tecmo.

@L_K_M: They mean it's literally deeper. Like, they're in a deeper bed of water.

Count me in with the confused. If we have to start paying for user-generated content, my interest for this game just plummeted quite alot.

When has the DS' mic ever not been an annoying feature?

No, the delivery was more disappointing.

I wouldn't really say the SC series has been uniformly excellent. SC3 was awful. Its production quality was much worse than previous games and they totally fucked with the fighting engine in nonsensical ways. It just plain sucked.

YES! I was hoping the game had a character select screen!!

@Ryumeka: I'm really tired of "naming some", quite honestly. If you can't figure what games Nintendo released in the past 2 years, that's your problem.

This sounded real (because people on forums are the stupids) up until the FFX paragraph. Honestly, that's just too over the top to be true.

Seriously people. Again, I'm warning you folks who are interested in this simply because it "looks" kinda like Ouendan/EBA. The game experience will be nothing like those games. Waving your arm in some abstract, and completely random motion, that doesn't adhere in any way to the background music, at all, and requires no timing...will not play out anything like Ouendan/EBA. Seriously.

Number 1: Nintendo haven't "completely abandoned" "hardcore" gamers. They've produced more "hardcore" games since 2006 than any other company on the earth. Period.

Number 2: Low-res textures on the water doesn't necessarily mean the water "physics" suck.

Number 3: Obviously this thing won't be "deeper" than WaveRace64. This guy is just saying what anyone says about any game ever before it comes out. This'll probably be about as deep as Wii Sports Golf, which was about half as deep as a single course in any real golf game.

Rare are behind these ridiculously horrible "avatar" things? No fucking wonder.

Fri, 18 Jul 2008 23:51:25 MDT

I doubt this game is much like EBA. EBA was a rhythm game. This game...honestly doesn't look like it has much to do with rhythm.

Wasn't it Miyamoto's idea to make Metroid Prime first-person?

They just need to tighten up the graphics on level 3. They're doing it as fast as they can because they have lots of other video games to make!

Fri, 18 Jul 2008 00:19:07 MDT

It says on their website they were formed in 2006. Sure took them a long time to break away from DMA if they really are former Rockstar employees.

I don't think they've ever made a game, other than Flock!.

Thu, 17 Jul 2008 23:56:09 MDT

Half of what made KoTOR good was the dialog system. That would be kind of lame in an MMO setting though.

What did Proper Games have to do with Lemmings? DMA (aka Rockstar North) developed it and a bunch of other companies published it, I thought.

They should have just made the whole game sidescrolling with incredibly good graphics.

The first few screens of Mario 2 would be cool. You know where you fall down and then go through a door.

@NovaBlack: Sonic 2 was really really fast paced though. It was impossibly difficult to keep tails on screen with the screen moving that fast. LBP doesn't seem like it's possible to move all that fast. I don't think it'll be much of a problem. The "going off screen and dying" mechanic seems like the only logical way to do things.
