I'm not sure his discussion holds weight. In an era of relative economic prosperity,

BUT IT'S A FUCKING

What's that you say? Economic ~~Dep~~Recession!? Well blow me!

oh, ok

Well yes, that's not helping matters at-fucking-all. But even without the recession, the hardware bubble's gotta burst pretty soon.

I mean running certain games on a PC is basically something you do as a gag.

It's like selling fucking Maseratis and only making $5 on each one.

PC is the social platform. Unless you stop counting World of Warcraft and Steam.

What I meant to say was, there's still a substantial number of pre-teen and teen fans that will just get on the bandwagon if they see the wagon as being "hot" or "mature". See cynical Hollywood cash-ins actually working, or maybe you when you wanted to buy Sleep-with-then-rob-the-hooker. Things being or not being cool is a strange thing, but at least for me, my interests have bled into my younger siblings, cousins, etc. and by extension many of my interests were influenced by elder cousins, parents, and grandparents. I wouldn't be the game addict I am now if I didn't have losts of fond memories playing Dragon Warrior with my dad and Mario Bros. with my mom.

What? You say fewer and fewer children have siblings or close ties with their extended families? Well blow me.

EDIT:

Any of you guys want to fuck around in Mabinogi?

Is Mabinogi actually worth my time?

And then blaming pirates for your failure. It would be unsurprising if much of the piracy were due to some users running the game as a gag.

Brentai · « **Reply #605 on:** August 20, 2008, 03:12:12 PM »

It is, trust me.

oh hey i can probably run crysis now

i should pirate it

Oh my god. Stop 'N' Swop finally exists. (Well, as soon as it's released)

Word on the street is that the game will be $40 and you get the original for free if you preorder it.

Rare's still pretty dead to me after dumping a half-done shitshow like Perfect Dark Zero on the launch crowd after six years of waiting, forgoing the decency to even give us our gat dang counter-operative mode. The hell were these guys doing all that time?

Alex · « **Reply #609 on:** August 21, 2008, 11:27:07 AM »

In before Rare puts the goddamn Facility level in this too.

Niku · « **Reply #610 on:** August 25, 2008, 06:49:05 AM »

Mega Man Volnutt is playable in Tatsunoko vs. Capcom.

Now all we need is Radd Spencer and a PS3 release so that I can import it and I can die a happy man.

Also interestingly: Doronjo from Yatterman is playable, which is the first character from a series that already had another playable character. The three Street Fighter characters got around this by being labeled as being from SF, SF2, and SF3 individually.

McDohl · « **Reply #611 on:** August 25, 2008, 01:44:23 PM »

I pray that Tatsunoko vs. Capcom doesn't have horrible imbalances like Capcom Fighting Jam did. That game is proof of why Street Fighter III characters aren't allowed more than one super.

I mean, seriously.
EDIT: Watch for anything with Chun-Li, Yang, Urien (AEGIS REFLECTOR) and Alex.

custom combos AND supers at the same time?!

what is this madness?

Brentai · « **Reply #613 on:** August 27, 2008, 11:18:58 AM »

Guillermo del Toro really likes Ico and Shadow of the Colossus.

Not... really that much of a surprise, when you stop and think about it.

Ken goes on Survivor.

What, does he think he can just pick Marth and tip all the other challengers into oblivion?

Japanese developers think Western developers are better at video game music.

Well, admittedly, that's just the guy who does music for Resident Evil. And he's talking about overall sound production. Still, considering there's an entire sub-industry for that in Japan, and over here we use music sparingly if at all, I'm inclined to believe that they're not as, uh, far behind as that guy seems to think.

Also, Capcom announces Tatsunoko vs. Capcom isn't coming to the States... after holding some location tests here to get people's reactions. Given that, I'm inclined to say that we're probably not missing much.

Royal☭ · « **Reply #615 on:** August 28, 2008, 10:43:20 AM »

He says they're catching up, but the best sound production in the world is in the UK or the US.

Brentai · « **Reply #616 on:** August 28, 2008, 11:35:16 AM »

I guess he's talking about sound production for movies and albums.

I respect the guy's moxie, but honestly, bad time to be trying to cross the video game big-budget line.

Square-Enix plans to absorb Tecmo into the fold.

Wait, does this mean One Winged Hutt foretold the future?

In this thread, Lyrai jumps at the chance to link to shitty remixes anywhere she can.

I'm going to have to call bullshit seeing as how Virtua Fighter 5, Soul Calibur 4 and Dead or Alive 4 are fine. I think it's just a lot of whining about how they don't want to do any work.

I certainly hope that the inevitable consoles versions do make the jump to the States.

Catloaf · « **Reply #619 on:** August 29, 2008, 08:32:14 PM »

Alex, it sounds like the "problem" with lag in SF 4 is on the their side.

I think a better title for the article would be "Capcom working on lag compensation"
