    Ah, Rick. My absolute favorite example of copyright-dodging. I really hope the remake does justice to nostalgia. #splatterhouse

    OMG! Splatterhouse, is that game still going on? It's been months since I heard a whisper about that game.

    Anyhoo, nice job on the figure Jin! #splatterhouse

    @Rachel Fogg: Then I would recommend checking out the interview done by Play Magazine.

    [playmagazine.com]

    Personally, I think the new team seems to be doing a much better job at recreating the original than what Bottlerocket was doing. #splatterhouse

    Really? Well then good...I loved the original Splatterhouse so I was happy to hear about the next version of it.

    Hope is now restored!! #splatterhouse

    @Rachel Fogg: Yeah, being a fan as well, it is hard to live up to all of the years of imagining what a revival would be like. Sure it's kinda sad what happened to Bottlerocket in the end, but they were kinda making a crap job out of it. I'm glad that higher-ups at Namco noticed and moved the more talented people from Bottlerocket into a new studio with someone else in charge to continue the game. #splatterhouse

    That's how it appeared...I feel bad for the people at Bottlerocket though, hopefully they found more work.

    But I NEED this game...my hope is that they include the original on the disc. #splatterhouse

    @Rachel Fogg: On that note, I heard that they might be including the original trilogy. Don't know if they will be the NA versions of the japanese. Also apparently in that interview, the new game will have side scrolling segments which play like the original! #splatterhouse

    no. The only way I'd reconsider is if we finally get m/kb support in Resistance 3. Otherwise...no. thank.you. I'd rather work for Epic. #ratchetclank

    I suspect they shaped Qwark like a gorilla from Disney's Tarzan after about 1000 regular looking Qwarks (if Qwark can ever be called "regular") ended up falling flat on their faces. Clever ... #ratchetclank

    @PixelPenumbra: I think that's what I said. In most media careers it's your showreel that matters. Your degree is just a piece of paper. You need a good portfolio, contacts and be able to present yourself. It's the basis of what I'd hired people in the past for and how I got jobs too. #ratchetclank
