View Full Version : Summer Releases
Le gasp?!
Having Pre-ordered Alone in the Dark I now read reviews telling me its god awful with a stupid control scheme...joy :unsure:"
So I'll rush it and trade it in, but my dilemma is for what? The 360 summer season seems to be frustratingly empty...Bad companay I wouldn't touch with a barge pole and Civilisation (which is already out I think) I've heard is repetitive..
Is there really nothing coming out? Its frustrating to see all the games aiming for christmas but nothing for summer..
Take last christmas, there were so many titles released a lot were totally forgotten (Timeshift was mediocre, if it had been released 3 months earlier it would have sold a few more I'm sure)
Unreal Tournament 3 perhaps???? out July 4th
There is always a Summer drought, always. Actually I welcome it, this means there's a chance for me to catch up on some titles I haven't had chance to get.
I've played UTIII on the PS3, I'm not really a fan, its so hectic running at light-speeds ;)
Though Civ Revolution actually looks fairly interesting..
T_T there's not many old titles for me to catch up on...maybe some of the RPG's =] it could finally give me the time to tackle Lost Odessy or Eternal Sonata
Yea there's not many 360 games I'm in any rush to get, so I'm mostly gonna focus on DS games.

Lucky..
I'm back in a castlevania phase T_T and apart from Dracula X there's no plans to release another, looks like they're focusing on DS
That's because the DS is totally awesome, I wouldn't mind them doing a real old style Castlevania though. Not that the Metroidvania games aren't awesome, it's just a change would be nice. Maybe pretty up 1 - 3 and release them as one game or something.

The DS totally sucks :P I've owned two and traded them both, the only thing they have are cool game licenses, which then get spoiled due to its terrible hardware and gimmicky touch screen
I've only played Aria of Sorrow and Symphony of the Night...Symphony is amazing, the inverted castle sure surprised me ^^"

I have had A ds and loved every game I played on it. Zelda,Castlevania, Phoenix wright,Hotel dusk, and more. Might get one again actually while I have no xbox. Fancy trying world ends.
I can't hope that much on summer releases (except for Brawl XD) but I can still see great games coming out like Ninja Gaiden II, but we can't wait for them much longer.

When you look at traditional 2D RPG's it was awesome, as were the Phoenix Wright games
My problems were when it attempted 3D...yuk...

It's true the 3D on the DS is rather crappy, though Mario 64 was good, Zelda looked alright and Metroid Prime looked fantastic. At any rate I'd rather have a handheld with a strong games library with shitty 3D than one that barely has anything.
Gonna try and get Contra 4 during the drought. :3

I thought metroid was awful!! XD I could hardly see where my gun was pointing, let alone what I was pointing at, horrid controls too!
Mario 64 & Mario kart turned out well =] as did Zelda. I'm not too keen on the third party games though, whenever I walked into a store it was "Dogz, Horsez, Catz, Penguinz, Brain Trainingz" Gah...
The PSP's games are awesome, they just don't have many -_- the RPG's are fun...but yes =[ I do miss thy DS now and then

Really? Only good RPG I've seen on the PSP is Tales of Eternia, and... Actually that's the only good game I've seen on the PSP at all.

Well the psp has about forty three thousand jrpg's out on it. Chances are a few of them have got to be good.

Only one Game im looking foward to this Summer: Samba De Amigo. also Soul Calibur 4 looks promising.

I would hope so considering they're nearly all ports.

Better to have a port of a classic than a rip off of a classic =]

Please explain, I don't get it.:blink:

I'd rather have a great game faithfully ported to the PSP, than a game stealing all the ideas of a classic and pulling it off badly

Sorry I meant was trying to think of some examples of rip offs on the ds. Now I like both of them but there is just an infinetly larger amount of originality on the ds than the psp will ever have. The psp might be better at porting old games but thats not really something to be proud of. I did like some games on the psp though. Got rid of mine about 18 months ago though so I can't really comment on any recently released games.

Can't think of anything interesting that's been recently released...I remember falling in love with Shin Budokai <3 that's why I got mine

Ferrari Challenge isn't coming out on 360. It got quietly cancelled, and is now pretty much a PlayStation exclusive, with versions coming out on PS3, PS2 and PSP.
I say pretty much, because there's also Wii and DS versions, but they don't seem to be coming out on the same day. No 360 version though.

That's just daft sales wise! Release it on the least popular console (sales wise), i'm worried about the Wii version.
I think it's a good plan actually. PS3 is starting to pick up sales after GTA IV (which admittedly did sell more on 360) and MGS4, so I think it's starting to turn the corner.
And if Ferrari Challenge is as good as everything claims it is, then that's another possible system seller.

I've got that be warned its bloody hard.
Another DS game I want is the new Space Invaders game. It got some really good reviews from the press.

I expect nothing less from a Contra game.

Would be nice to see System 3 back as a quality game producer like they where when they where king og the hill on the C64. So I hope this one is good!
