A PSP with two analogue sticks, please oh god please v_v then you can fill it with PS2 ports, it'd be perfect!

I mean seriously, that's all anyone wanted in the first place, a portable PS2 :P

Yeah true. If they truly had a portable ps2. I would go loopy loo with joy.

With UMD's and bigger memory sticks I see no reason why they couldn't :)

It'd piss off 3000 buyers, but most other PSP users would probably be happy to trade up for a new model like that.

It does interest me to think how powerful it would be. The psp aint really too far behind a ps2 anyway spec wise if at all, and thats been out awhile now. I'd be quite impressed with something between station 2 and 3.

No thanks, unless they make it so it supports proper memory cards like SD so I don't have to pay a crazy amount. Unless you really like buying games again.

UMD: buy everything you already own again, so you can use it on the bus!

But no one else will and I doubt devs want to port all their PS2 games to UMD and most of the brilliant games (Persona 3, GOD HAND and so on) would never be ported.

No no, many other people will!
Hell, sitting in a car, the chance to play something like MGS2? Jak & Daxter? the Mainstream PS2 titles were great anyway, I'd like to see more obscure ones but wouldn't hold my breath....

And with the two sticks, games would finally function properly, it'd be the best handheld system for FPS games, that'd bring a huge market.

Anyway, in other news to all you 360 owners out there be on the lookout for the free XBLA arcade game this Wednesday ;) Chasing a Dorito's Delivery an with a T-Rex? Free? Yes please

MGS2? You are joking right? That is the least portable friendly game ever. The whole thing would just be a waste of everyones time and money, unless they did it all Ipod like and stuck a massive hard drive in there and packaged it with a way to install your PS2 games onto it.

Two sticks I can agree with, but knowing Sony they'll stick the left analog stick in the middle of the console.

Oh yea, I'd love to play most of my PS2 games out and about but only if it was handled well.

That MGS on the Iphone looks like some sort of target practice game... Snake's T. Gun Training? Still, was thinking about getting an Iphone and that could be fun.

Im worried it'll be the same thing. Some sort of on rails shooter thing. I hope not but I don't see how you'd be able to pull off all of snakes moves entirely on a touch screen.

The games don't seem to advanced generally...maybe the twistyturny mostion controls to aim and touch to shoot? Even then....well we'll see :D Quake should be coming out for it sometime I think..

So MGS aside Konami's much better franchise is also coming to Iphone, Silent Hill!

whereas Silent Hill is a 3D shooter. In it, you'll control someone by "sliding a finger across the touch panel screen and changing alignment to target enemies using the built-in altimeter".

Interesting.

richarddavies
18-12-2008, 09:42
I prefer silent hill myself. Read in a few places now that metal gear touch is just a shooting gallery game that uses pre-rendered graphics. Honestly don't know if thats confirmed news though or hearsay.

Kinda That is bad I suppose but to be fair there survival horror type games are probably the game type im personally best at. Im terrible at football games though. I just cannot get good at them.

I used to like the genre, but these days find it hard to play a game that's purposefully designed to be even more miserable than a trip to an old people's home. Staving off manic depression seems to be one of the most necessary virtues to playing Silent Hill.

Im the same way with Jrpg's. I think level grinding and dungeon crawling is like some weird form of japanese mental torture but I can't help but play them as I like the story's.

Killer French Bread
18-12-2008, 11:11
If a game isn't actually fun to play I don't have the patience any more and I never really pay attention to the stories in games either, so all I ever hear in the few JRPGs I've played is some annoying anime person, who always just happens to have a nauseating american accent, whining on about their duty to the mission/friends/memory of some dead person or somethng else I never really cared about. Now I think about it, it's not hard too see why I rarely get far in the games.

Exactly!

I used to adore JRPG's, now I vomit at the thought of having to play one. Stories are always re-hashed and recycled, nothing new or interesting, gameplay is the same as its been for years, the whole genre is totally stale....ugh!!!

Survival horror is also cool, but I never really have fun when I play it...

Having said all that, I am strangely tempted to buy Manhunt 2.

Here's an interview with hideo. It is just a touch screen shooter rather than a proper MGS game.

Killer French Bread
18-12-2008, 11:38
Kojima just can't let go can he? He said he was going to finish with the MGS games years ago. Boktai didn't sell as well as hoped I assume.

Rayne
18-12-2008, 12:17
Which is a shame as Botkai was awesome.

Hmm, I'm interested in it but slightly dissapointed that its just an on-the rails shooter...I don't like shooters that use the touchpad either...

To be fair, I don't like any game that uses the touchpad, that just means it'll get smudged and scratched....D:

Still :3 I'll be interested to see how it turns out

The problem with Boktai was you couldn't play the game properly unless you were outside in really sunny weather, and when in those conditions you couldn't see the screen of your GBA properly. A balls-balls situation.

ndependent UK studio Free Radical Design closed its doors this morning, our sister site GamesIndustry.biz reports (http://www.gamesindustry.biz/articles/free-radical-design-latest-to-face-financial-trouble), with multiple sources claiming that staff, including senior executives, have already left the company. It is also believed that the unnamed project for LucasArts - announced back in 2006 (http://www.gamesindustry.biz/articles/lucasarts-and-free-radical-team-up-for-next-gen-project) and thought to be Star Wars Battlefront III - has been shipped off to Rebellion, the developer behind PSP hit Star Wars Battlefront: Renegade Squadron.
One source claims staff turned up to work today to find doors locked, and instructions to meet at a nearby hotel for a final company meeting.
Last month, when contacted by GamesIndustry.biz, director Steve Ellis denied there were any changes at the company.
"Nothing unusual is happening here. Projects end. New projects start. That's how things have worked for nearly 10 years," he said then.
TimeSplitters 4 and the unnamed project were both still in development said Ellis, as were "other unannounced projects, which are in the process of being signed."
Days later, when more industry chatter questioned the future of the Nottingham studio, Ellis said that "we certainly won't be laying off any staff today. Or, for that matter, any time in 2008."
"If something happens in 2009 I'm sure we'll be prepared to comment - but from where I'm sitting, whatever happens is far more likely to be positive than negative," he added.
Calls to senior staff at Free Radical Design by GamesIndustry.biz yesterday and today have not been returned.


Well, fuck.

Perhaps we should stop and remember than Sonic is a game aimed at children.

A kid would sit down to unleashed, enjoy it and buy the next one. Why should Sonic team to a lot of work and try to improve it when they already have a strong garunteed sale?

If they remade it like the classics it would be too difficult, kids would get fed up with it.

No, its a realistic way of looking at it.

So long as they have a garunteed income there's no need for them to change Sonic.

Also back in the Mega Drive games yes, Sonic was astounding, but everyone bought it. It was before Gore and Violence was mainstream, these days even IF Sonic got back to his former glory, it still wouldn't sell.

richarddavies
08-01-2009, 14:43
There selling fine anyway, that's not the problem. The problem I have with Sonic is that they just release tat to make money rather than try nowadays. Its just a rant about there integrity basically. That blog aswell just makes it sound like a few of them know there making rubbish but the big boys on top are making them churn it out.

Broken Sword is coming to the Wii and DS I'M BUYING BOTH!!

I remember reading Cecil saying he wanted to make Broken Sword on the DS, OK I have to say I'm alittle dissapointed that it's Shadow of the Templars (again!) BUT THAT'S THE BEST ONE!

FYI Broken Sword is my favourite point and click adventure game bar none, yes I ever prefer it over all the Monkey Islands and Sam & Max. I can't even tell you how many times I completed Broken Sword: Shadow of the Templars.

Yea, it's a shame 3 sucked so hard.

Wish I still had my discs, very close to just downloading it ): I do like how the Broken Sword Double Pack (SoldOut) comes packaged with Scummvm, though it's not surprising since Cecil also let Scummvm distribute Beneat a Steel Sky for free on their site (which is also good and worth checking out, even has artwork from Dave Gibbons).

Edit: I remember when I first played Broken Sword, my mate lent me the 2nd one on PS1 and it was instant love, got stuck at the place where you meet Duane again.

Evidently you haven't played it.

The thing that made Dead Space was the astmosphere and high production values, along with fluid, perfect controlls. I don't mind saying it was better than Resident Evil.

Look at what happened to Dead rising on wii, this will just be....jeeesus....I can't begin to imagine.

No, no what I played had terrible controls and wasn't that atmospheric because I already played System Shock 2 hundreds of times.

The difference between Dead Space and Dead Rising is that Dead Rising uses the next gen hardware to its advantage to it can have a fuckload of zombies on screen at the same time, Dead Space doesn't.

Dead Space looks stunning - It won't on wii.
Dead Space had fantastic controls - It won't on wii.
Dead Space had atmospheric audio - It won't on wii.
Dead Space had high production values - It won't on wii.

I've never touched system shock 2, its a PC game, so bleh. Way old too ne? Its natural for games to use things for inspiration but I seriously doubt Dead Space took many (if any) cues from it.

Dead Space is a next gen game and one I really loved, I don't want to see it raped and compressed for Wii :( any Wii user that wanted it probably owns a 360 anyway.

Wow that post is condensed stupid.

Yes the the game wont look as good as the 360 version, it might not even sound as good. System Shock 2 must be over 10 years old and still be the scariest and most atmospheric game ever made so I bet the Wii could easily create something similar, only not because no one from Irrational is making this game.

Vain as it sounds the graphics and audio are critical with the game, they're the reason its so scary. The wii has yet to create an experience that doesn't get ruined when the controller spazzes out on me >_> I simply don't see it working

*puts on specs* The Spartan II project only ever had about 60 successful candidates and was the first successful Spartan Project. They didn't get MJOLNIR armour until there were only about 10 left.

The next generation were mass produced, again children and highly trained but the UNSC forces didn't have the funding to create MJOLNIR armour and so they were forced to use SPI armour (no shields or tech) they recieved a 100% fatality and never made it off the planet Onyx.

So having several units of Spartans is bullshit :/ also a lot of covenant tech in the game wasn't unveiled until the Fall of Reach, the Brutes were never seen, the Elites were very rare and the Scarab tanks didn't exist.

Spartans are super soldiers grown from the age of 5 and experts in all military aspects :3 then genetically altered when they reached their teens to have near super human reactions. That with the armour makes them practically indestructable, every time a Spartan dies they die whilst taking out the better part of an armada, plain awesome :P

Pretty sure RTS games have a bigger kill count than most FPS games. Halo was an obvious franchise to get an RTS game, and surprisingly its ok. If you don't like the genre fine, stay under your rock until ODST comes out.

'game'? sorry but RTS games are frantic games that always require you to stay on your toes. That's 90% more 'game' than MGS4.

Also why? Master Chief is barely a character at all, he's no different to Turok or any other FPS character with magic recharging health. Oh I guess he can hold less weapons than most FPS characters, so awesome.

'game'? sorry but RTS games are frantic games that always require you to stay on your toes. That's 90% more 'game' than MGS4.

Also why? Master Chief is barely a character at all, he's no different to Turok or any other FPS character with magic recharging health. Oh I guess he can hold less weapons than most FPS characters, so awesome.

Mate, you just have no idea about anything :P or rather, my generation. I mean a few years difference is massive, I grew up playing MGS and when I hit my teens Halo was released, it was a wordwide phenomenon and the best FPS of the entire generation.

Yeah? You've probably played games like that, ones that were big when you were at that point (lol XD not that you're old, just older than me, you know?) but I personally and many gamers my age haven't played them and didn't grow up with them...and don't care about them XD

Turok was a grumpy bugger that didn't talk due to technical limitations -_- the master chief is supposed to be silent and professional, the only 'friend' he has is Cartona. He's no Nathan Drake and he's not Nathan Hale (another example of a mute skin head hero)

What does MGS have to do with anything? :I Master Chief has a regenerating shield integrated into his armour, so its not magically regenerating. No soldier can hold 10 rifles, two at max is a good way to approach a game, Resistance 2 implimented that and was better because of it.

Age has nothing to do with it.

Weapon limitation is obviously to make up for the lack of number keys on a 360 pad, it doesn't make the game better since there's no strategic reason for it.

I would say Age has a lot to do with it, try getting a 7 year old to play some of the games we had on the Mega Drive, sheesh...

And no, I read this interview from the guys at Resistance 2 :) it was really interesting. In Resistance 1 they let you carry all weapons in the game, they found people didn't appriciate them as much, they stuck to the same two weapons and didn't bother exploring.

On Resistance 2 they put it to a two weapon limit and as such people carefully choose what to take and really enjoy each weapon :) it adds strategy, personally I find it more fun.

SEGA would be the first of the Big Four to go, should they go under, and it would be a loss to the industry purely because of the history behind them.

Yes, they are becoming a bit of a laughing stock because of the way they handle some of their franchises, but as a publisher they've got some cracking titles under their belts. They hold the licenses for Total War (one of the biggest modern day PC RTS games), and have had a couple of minor hits with the Condemned duo.

Couple this with the fact that Mario & Sonic was huge when it released over a year ago, and it proves that SEGA can still hold their own. They just need to show the same care and attention to their in-house titles.

Virtua Fighter 5 is out on PS3 & 360, from what I've read it got very positive reviews.

Updated Gunstar and the like would be best done through VC/XBLA/PSN, like the new R-Type. Lets face it, that's hardly going to go platinum, great games but just not a large enough fanbase :/

They really need a few IP's and they need to get some cashcow's, make a few brain training bollock games, or better yet, beat nintendo too it and do a decent casual game.

As for the whole SEGA thing I think what is need to be done is for SEGA to bring back some of its old games likes its old Model 2 or Naomi games and put them up on XBLA or PSN, heck even some of the newer stuff like Afterburner Climax etc. What they dont seem to see is that people want these games and yet SEGA wont do them for the fanbase, dont they see that they are sitting on a gold mine. From downloads they would be making some extra profit form the usual arcade and game sales.

RB: Unplugged is the first RB or Guitar Hero game on the PSP, and will have an in-game store to download DLC from, the first PSP game to have such a feature.

Metal Gear Touch looks disappointing :( I mean, it looks beautiful but really boring (shut up Reknoc, all MGS games are fantastically entertaining XD).

No change ther... oh shit.

Oh GOD YES!

Persona PSP remake isn't news but have a look. (http://kotaku.com/5159546/atlus-remakes-persona-for-the-psp) (I mentioned it aaaaaaaaaaaages ago)

Do you see it?

"completely redone localization and content never before seen in North America".

Some news you might care about:

Virtual On on 360 (http://kotaku.com/5159889/virtual-on-for-xbox-360-its-on) I'd be surprised if no one posted this yet, but I'm too lazy to look.

Something no one (outside of Japan) cares about but Capcom want you to so stop being dicks about it. (http://kotaku.com/5159893/capcom-want-people-outside-japan-to-love-monster-hunter-too)

It was mentioned yesterday in the SEGA General thread, but today is the first real news about it, as yesterday we were all placing guesses as to what format it was being released on.

As for a comment Rayne made RE: the MGS DGNs, the PSP only got the first one. The second one got cancelled and was released on DVD instead.

Anyway are the DGN the same as the paper comics? Cause you could probably find a PDF of it somewhere and I believe there's probably an app that can open them.

Gavvie
25-02-2009, 18:43
As far as I'm aware they are, yeah. They have music and sound effects though, which an app wouldn't have :p

The DVD version even has Japanese voice acting! SOLIDUH SNAKEUH!

It's starting to look likely that the what would be no doubt awesome Aliens RPG by Obsidian has been cancelled.
http://kotaku.com/5160177/ex+designer-says-obsidians-aliens-game-canceled

That being cancelled and the Gearbox game getting delayed means it might be a while till we get some Alien love. Though when we do it may very well be while fighting off Predators.

Had to put this on here too. They've watched the new street fighter movie on kotaku and they have blogged it while there watching it. MASSIVE spoilers but is quite funny to read. Sounds awful.

They are? You must be getting different UMD's than me, cause I get slow and noisy ones that are a poorly disguised attempt at making me buy a movie twice. That said they are pretty cheap, though maybe it's because stores are trying to get rid of them.

I am slightly interested in the PSP2, hopefully it'll have a massive redesign and actually be comfortable to hold.

Well now, here's an interesting rumour to be sure. (http://kotaku.com/5161000/rumor-silent-hill-wii+make-coming-from-climax)

Obviously I'm alittle worried since Climax didn't do an amazingly well job with Silent Hill to begin with but I guess it's easier to remake something. Bet it has a Pyramid Head or some variation of him.

Not like it's been confirmed or anything so hopefully it wont happen.

The story's in Silent hill are complete nonsense. They have never made any sense. There famous for it. They involve a random place being ingulfed by fog and monsters coming out even though the thing that caused it in the first place died in the first game.

Silent Hill 2 has nothing to do with the cult. I guess thinking about it Silent Hill 1 and 3 did have rather nonsense plots... Like aborting god.

2 and 4's was fantastic though.

I've never completed a Silent Hill game so always assumed it was ignorance that confused my understanding of the storylines. I got to the part where Pyramid head was chasing you round some cube in SH2 and never really knew what the hell I was doing or where I'd end up.

James killed his wife and all the shit going down in Silent Hill is all in James' head because he's batshit insane

I still haven't played Silent Hill 3 which I bought ages ago -_- though I know how it ends (hehe, wow....that's pretty disgusting)

From my perspective its always someone going to a town, being swallowed by fog and having to fight walking tubes and nurses :blink: keh?

Mind you Silent Hill: The Room (whatever its called) was pretty awesome from what I played, it seemed different too.

What's wrong with fighting nurses?

Well the combat is ankward but essentially there's nothing wrong with fighting nurses :P

My issue is that you fight them in every game, usually in a rusty hospital with a 2x4. If you gave screenshots of each game it would be tough to tell which was which (well...improved graphics may make it obvious but you get the idea)

Oh goodie, just got this on my email from SEGA (I'm registered on SEGA Pass):
Our second announcement of the month is for Let's Tap, arriving in summer 2009. This innovative yet simplistic gaming experience will appeal to young and old alike with its ease of play. Simply place the Wii remote on a flat surface or box and rhythmically tap to interact and immerse yourself in the game environment. With a selection of fun game modes and easy to pick up controls, this promises fun for everyone!

...Might get a Wii, dunno. XD

Oh man I just found out my favorite magazine EGM (Electronic Gaming Monthly) has closed there doors for good which is sad to me. I have been a fan of EGM since 1991. There were other magazines in the time like Gamepro, Nintendo Power & Gamefan (R.I.P.) which were good but I always like EGM better. They were very honest on their reviews on video games which I agreed over 90% of the time. I wouldn't known more information, previews, reviews you know everything about video games without EGM. Thank you EGM.

That would be unfortunate if it was true.

The biggest memory stick is what, 8GB, 16GB? That would need to store all my PSP games, my music, videos and pictures. Not only that but it would take forever for me to be able to download those games.

Even worse is that you then would have trouble putting them in GAME right? So how would they appeal to kids, or parents?

I'm hoping they ditch memory sticks completely tbh. Terrible overpriced things.

I don't think it'll be Digital Distribution only though, even if Sony do wise up and drop the UMD format they'd replace it with something else.
