Gaming thoughts of the day

[Bluecast]

You know NaughtyDog is probably one of my favorite developers ever. That said, I'm a little disappointed that they decided against releasing Uncharted Racing. They had this excellent business model going: Three titles in a franchise and then close it with a racing game. Could this be the downfall of NaughtyDog?!

They need to make another Jak & Daxter. Then again after Sony let sly Cooper Thieve in time to die with no marketing they might do the same for jak

I posted this in the other thread about our PC Rigs but decided to post it here too as it was relevant.

I am extremely tempted by Virtua Fighter 5 for £4.49 on Xbox marketplace.

Now, I played VF3 tb for DC back in the day but was a long time ago. Would anyone recommend it?

[Sonikku]

Perhaps it is worth holding off until next week.

(NOTE: Virtual Fighter 5 Final Showdown is available on XBLA for 1200 points, but will be on sale for 400 points next week, starting March 5)

Oh right aye, I forgot about this. Thanks, I will definitely buy VF5 Final Showdown for 400 MS points then!

Is there much difference between VF5 and final showdown?

Lords of shadow is a great game based solely on the fact that every chapter opens with narration by Patrick Stewart.

I just creamed at the thought I just had but would sadly never happen. Platinum Games making Strider 3! SQUEE!

[OL]

I think Arc System Works would be a better match. Strider, in my eyes, should always be 2D side-scrolling action. Switch it into a 3D stylish action game (which I assume is what you're imagining, a la MGR, Bayonetta, etc; Platinum's strengths) and it'd become something totally different, just cashing in on a name. They may as well just make a new ninja IP. Or just put a Strider skin into MGR.
But Arc... for my money, they do some of the best traditional sprite work out there. A new 2D Strider with sprites on par with Blazblue, or Persona 4 Arena?
Gah, that'd be beautiful.
Throw in some Daisuke Ishiwatari music and I might pass out from dehydration.
Y'know, from jizzing so much.

Have you tried Hard Corps?

[OL]

Really want to. Very tempted to make that my first full-game digital download. Not sure if I actually will, but the temptation is certainly there.

PG would make it work. Or you could have had Grins take on it and almost was done. Grin for the famous Bionic Commando

amazing game, great co-op, I have it and all the characters on ps3 if you ever wanted to jump into co-op.

Well Grin got the idea right, they just fucked up the execution.

Just know that Showdown has no outfits or anything. All have to be bought as DLC which comes to around £50

I would actually say VF5 is the better deal as you get more content.

Despite what I said months ago and even few weeks ago. Agree now with WRC. Other topic is too large. Might just make one new one per year.

So that said I have no touched a game in days. Other than 20 Min with Sonic Gens yesterday. Not sure why just not felt like playing anything. Also been busy. Hoping someone buys the Darksiders license before April 2013 otherwise the series is gone for good.

BTW other topic might be locked soon per request
