* Zentilli⑨n looks at JT's new av, which gets him thinking...

...Pshaw, I wish. Then again, does Skies really NEED a sequel?

...Though, speaking of surprise sequels to older games with cultish followings, new info on Rocket Knight popping up would be nice. ...Or ir's already out. :|

I know I for one would kill to see a sequel or spiritual successor to Skies of Arcadia. I feel like there are way too many flowery, angst-ridden, FF7/Evangelion-inspired JRPGs. We need more hotblooded adventures like Skies.

Yes, that's very true. While I'm someone who can live with the trends, I do think more games like SoA should be around. Sadly, the chances of seeing a sequel, prequel, or spiritual sequel are slim pickings. But hey, we can dream, and if Skies taught you one thing, it's not to give up on your dreams, right? :3

It's a classic NFS tradition to put cops in ridiculously impractical cop cars :V

There's a police Reventon in there too.

I'm watching the Ubisoft conference right now.

Nitori's inventions are to be featured in the next Ghost Recon.

Yes, I'm talking about the Optical Camouflage suit.

Edit: Oh snap, TrackMania is branching out into RPGs and FPSes. I cannot wait.

LOL Ubisoft. I'm actually shocked at how bad they pulled that off.

Only a couple of good things, but mostly Wii-ripoffs and showing off stuff that was "innovative" in the mid-90s.

RRoD has been fixed for years.  Falcon fixed most of it and Jasper fixed the rest.  Only thing new to the table is built-in wifi and quieter design.

duds WTF, I remember researching this up the ass less than a year ago with no luck, when mushiness futari came out on xbox. Nobody seemed to know this. But thanks for the info! Also, I don't understand what merging garlyle is talking about with that quantem theory game. Looks like some kinda generic space marine tps game to me.

Sage for not video games.

No, but seriously, That's Sega's shtick, not yours, Ubisoft.

Also, as it turns out, I asked around and I'm the only one who was actually interested in the Mania games. Oh well. Ubisoft style dropped the ball for the most part.

In before Nintendo shows off a dozen or so 'core' titles, which turns out to be more than Sony and Microsoft combined. While Sony spends at least 60% of its conference talking about its crummy Wiimote knockoff and the crummy games that will be released for it.

Nintendo is likely to come out with The World before Microsoft and Sony catch up. :3

Or the Nintendo Holodeck.

Yeah, at first glance.  Then you realise the design of the characters is distinctly in that "Realistic Anime" format, that the plot and setting are shaping with JRPG traditions (Giant towers that are half-alive and randomly shifting)... it's just glossed over with western TPS gameplay and grit.  Like I said, it could be an awesome combo, because both sides of those have had some -really- good results from time to time - but they're also the chance of it taking nothing but the most generic elements of both sides in which case AUGH.

Ah well.  Rez 2 Seeds of Eden makes me happy on a matter of principle.  Only thing that could've made me happier would've been Space Channel 5 Part 3.... but then again, Space Michael is always a possibility, given BEAT IT JUST BEAT IT

Rayman makes me happy on a matter of principle.

Also, it looks like things are basically a repeat of last year.  Microsoft's got nothing new except Wii Sports Kinect to show off, Ubisoft is largely awkward and incoming failure pockmarked by a couple "HOLY SHIT DO WANT" moments, EA is clearly not aiming at the market I'm part of, and Activision is evil and useless.
...Which means we can expect Sony to show off a crapload of games but only have one actual announcement that will make any impact, and Nintendo to bring its fans to its knees with tears of shame - and then tears of pure joy.

Also Kojima trolling someone again.

More impressions from the new 360.

Quote
After unveiling the new slimmer 360 at the close of their press briefing, Microsoft offered me a chance to check one out more closely. My immediate question was just how "whisper quiet" is this thing? The answer is, pretty damn quiet. Much of the noise from the old 360 actually came from the DVD drive spinning. I popped Alan Wake into the new machine and waited to hear what happened. Not much. The new optical drive makes very little noise beyond a few confident clicks as the tray locks into place and it goes about its business.
Likewise, the switch to a larger diameter, slower RPM fan eliminates almost all noise from that either. It also seems to have helped with circulation. Holding my hand above the vented top (with the console stood up) I could easily feel the air being drawn into the case. Internal updates also appear to help the new smaller 360 stay cool. The new model gets 45nm chips and the resulting reduction in power draw has let them drop the new power brick to 135 watts.

Other changes, including the new aesthetic, are refinements aimed at making the 360 more at home in the entertainment center. The glossy piano black finish looks like the bezel material on many modern HDTVs. The new touch sensitive buttons responded quickly and predictably to my finger. There are now plenty of connections on the back including three USB ports and an optical S/PDIF port. And lest it go overlooked, they've finally included built-in Wi-Fi with support for 802.11n. It's a nice enough refresh of the system that more than a few existing owners are going to be tempted to get a new machine.

The biggest improvement for new owners is probably WiFi.  The 360 wireless adapter is a fucking ripoff, especially when you consider that the other two consoles had it standard.
Cheating? I cannot even wrap my head around the point of it. Wouldn't you know you had cheated? How on Earth could you maintain crisp certainty of your superiority to all others? And if you're unable to do that, what's the point of anything?

The chances of them having fixed the controls are slim to none.

Adjectives are a fantastic idea to an already fantastic game, though.
