Games: News & Releases

Just like the last one, I think it should be a thread solely related with news regarding gaming in general so we avoid opening threads with few replies.

New Fallout Teased

Hope its true!

So apparently after months of endless noise made by MvC fans. Capcom is starting to pay a little bit more attention to us. They've told us who to contact at Marvel to show our interest. So if for whatever reason, your favorite Marvel/Capcom character didn't make it to UMvC3, please go ahead and give a shout to AgentM and TQ Jefferson stating that you'd like to see some UMvC3 updates.

Even if you don't care, please do it anyway. I'm a big fan and really wanna see some updates to this game.

PC port of Spider-Man was apparently a frustrating process

Poor Matt.

sounds like it turned out much better than expected. Anyone picking this up?

Anarchy Reigns is awesome, that is all.

Not supporting that asshole Tameem or any "reboot" that trashes the original series, regardless of how good reviewers think it is.

Double Post for Injustice! (pun intended)

To tell you the truth, when the script arrived, I rolled my eyes, gritted my teeth and prepared to read through what I assumed would be a standard script to a fighting game; some ham-fisted dialogue, followed by some flaky reason to want to take out the opponents ribs one at a time.

And then I started reading it – and I read the entire thing in one sitting – and then I grinned. This really is the most ambitious script I’ve ever seen from a fighting game, and the NetherRealm guys have pulled it off.

I'm pretty hyped. MK v DC had a good story, and MK9 had a great story. If this game trumps that, consider me amazed. Even though I'm a much bigger fan of Marvel, if anybody can make DC more appealing, Netherrealm can.

This will be a tricky one to pick out.

Almost always official reviewers opinions seem to be crap and a lot of the times they are getting paid to say good things about the game. And even back in 2011, Capcom stated they wanted the game to be really loved and was shooting for 90s on Metacritic. That's always raises some concern.

BUT, on the other hand, what if it really is a good game? Let's be honest, this game's reputation will be tarnished whether it is the best game ever or not. The fanbase has never liked the new direction this game is going and has been VERY vocal about it. They are determined to make sure this game fails. This game was doomed to have a shitty reputation from the start and the general opinion of the game is going to be pretty bad thanks to this.

You have official reviewers who seem suspect a lot of the time, and you also have a pissed off fanbase that won't ever accept it regardless and will try to tarnish any good this game has. So it's kinda hard to know whether this game will be good or not.

But I'm not going to buy it for one reason. And that is I have never been a Devil May Cry fan so I don't really care regardless.

Yeah, I'm actually looking forward to it. It seems good, but the animation is a tad wonky which is worrisome.

Lightning Returns: FFXIII Part 13 comes this Fall

The last one was released last year (which also wasn't very well received like FFXIII) and they are already pushing one out by the end of the year? Has rushed written all over it.

What happened to the both of you Square and Enix?

THQ auction was today.

Sega bought Relic, and they mostly make RTS games so expect to see Sonic RTS here soon.

And they also made the Warhammer games I think, so don't ever expect to see any new games from that IP ever again.

Metal Gear Solid: Ground Zeroes for current and next gen?

Kojima Interview

Also, Kojima laughs when asked about Phantom Pain and on the subject of the character looking like Snake he says, "Snake must have been an inspiration".

Interesting.

Another thing is if this is true, chances are MGS5 is going to be next gen console bait like MGS4 was. If the PS4 rumors about not having the ability to play used games are true, then the decision to buy a PS4 is going to be very painful indeed for me.

Oh don't. All those that love all inclusions to the Sonic franchise circa dreamcast would be in heaven directing an army of chao.

I have the Wii version of this emulator and it's awesome.

Gaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay

(GTAV related news in case you are wondering)

Yeah, fucking frustrating.

Oh well... better if they polish the game to perfection. Alright gird your loins and man it up till September.

Oh well, at least it wasn't delayed like GTA:SA was for one week for whatever reason, or SH:HD Collection was delayed two weeks a few days before release. This few month delay does show me that they are polishing the game a bit so hopefully it won't disappoint.

ANYWAYS,

Still not looking forward to seeing how Sony will try to scam me out of my money.

I am interested to see the games, but usually it takes about 2 years into a new gen lifecycle to have any decent games as devs are still struggling with the hardware and development tools. I wonder what Rocksteady is cooking up, it's been almost 18 months since Arkham City was released.
