let's wait for the fake excitement for the next ville game, lol!

Just played through The Walking Dead: 400 Days. ...Eh, I probably went in expecting too much or something (since it is DLC), because I felt that there was a lot to be left desired after this episode.

I don't want to give away too much, but I feel like the premise of an entire game taking place over a span of 400 days was waaay too big for a small DLC episode. I really wish we got to spend more time with each of these five characters and I barely don't even know them yet.

Spoiler:

Ryan Davis of GiantBomb passes away

What a shame. He always made their streams really entertaining and funny. This is after a week he got married too. Sad

First GTAV gameplay footage

God damn this looks so amazing.

badjab326 Tue Jul 09, 2013 6:17 pm

Holy shit GTAV looks overwhelmingly amazing. I don't even know how my life can handle that game. Wow. Even online looks freakin ridiculous.

**Charco** Tue Jul 09, 2013 7:38 pm

Ok that does look amazing.

Nintendo orders a C&D on streaming Super Smash Bros. Melee at EVO this year. Schedule will have some changes made

This is probably a good marketing move by Nintendo, since it will just expose Smash Bros. in front of real fighting games like TTT2 and KOFXIII. Laughing

Annnnd Nintendo pulls yet another bonehead move.

Nintendo of America has informed Shoryuken that the Evolution tournament series does not have permission to broadcast the game.

Great idea Nintendo, piss off all your fans who donated ridiculous amounts of money to get smash into EVO in the 1st place. And screw up your best opportunity to market the your new game to the FGC. Evil or Very Mad

Annnnnd looks like Nintendo pulled a 180 as well.

Companies can be stupid, but not THAT stupid...

MangoRyu28 Wed Jul 10, 2013 10:30 pm

Sweet, was looking forward to watching some smash during the EVO stream.

On a different note, GTA V is looking amazing. Have they said anything about if it would be coming to next gen? I would assume so, but I guess you never know.

iirc they debunked all rumors of it going to next gen. Which honestly I'm pretty happy about.

Every certain Thursday in the month of July, the Steam Summer Sale starts.

Just got an update from Steam after booting my computer up just now.

TONIGHT'S THE NIGHT!!!

Mr.Din Sat Jul 13, 2013 6:24 am

did anybody stream evo tonight? I was at the KI booth practically the whole day. Very Happy

badjab326 Sat Jul 13, 2013 7:51 am

I was watching the MK, and SSBM streams for a bit. But I worked most of the day Sad

Did they seriously announce a new version of Street Fighter IV? oO'

come on don't tell me you guys didn't see this coming. Razz

I'm just glad the xT SF characters got put in here where they belong, I guess I'll be picking this version up since I have bought a single SF4 yet.

badjab326 Sun Jul 14, 2013 9:57 am

Yeah, they actually announced it a few months ago. But they didn't mention new characters or stages until yesterday. Initially speculations were that it would just be a balance update.

I have mixed emotions on this one. On one hand, hooray now SFIV will be less boring at tournies, on the other hand, wow Capcom is being lazy as hell with the characters and stages being ripped directly from SFxT. Reminds me of SFA Ryu and DS Morrigan being in almost every 2D fighting game.

Buuut there's also gonna be another character for Injustice and KI announced tomorrow, so I guess I'm hype for that as well.

Oh I'm not surprised. I was expecting Capcom to do this since they are too lazy to move onto SF5, which they need to be doing. Laughing

Annnnd here's the trailer

**Saven** Mon Jul 15, 2013 3:54 pm

$39.99 for the full game again?

I can't wait for the inevitable Mega Street Fighter IV.

**Don Vecta** Mon Jul 15, 2013 4:16 pm

*yawn*

badjab326 Mon Jul 15, 2013 6:56 pm

The disc version DOES come with all the DLC costumes though, which is nice. And the update is only 15 bucks, which you can upgrade to directly from SSFIV even if you didn't purchase AE.

Xillatem Mon Jul 15, 2013 11:53 pm

My guess is that the unannounced character "new to the franchise" is Haggar, seeing as his assets already exist in MvC3.
