Enix was a remake machine well before the Square acquisition. DQ1&2 and 3 got SFC remakes, which were then remade for GBC, and I THINK the 4/5 remakes using the 7 engine first appeared on PS1 (otherwise it wouldn't make much sense to use the 7 engine). But yeah, we only got the NES originals and the GBC and DS remakes.

Enix is like the Disney Vault. You know they could release those movies forever, but they stagger them so people will go into buying frenzies when the one they're waiting for finally does come out. Of course, that's not what happens anymore when someone doesn't want to wait for something.

Yeah. I read Disney was going to try the "vault" gimmick with Marvel's digital comics.

Good luck with that, Disney.

On the Obsidian forums, Chris Avellone is asking hypothetically, if Obsidian did Kickstart a game, what would people like to see?

Seems like this might start taking off.

I guess this is to make me feel better about having to give up the stuff for health reasons.

This is clearly a move to get WoW players to switch to Coke from Mountain Dew.

He's just a director (i.e. a member of the board) and not an officer or chairman. Rich guys serving on the boards of random various companies happens all the time.

I don't know if you guys have heard of Binary Domain or not, but it is supposedly coming out soon. It's being made by the Yakuza team, so it should be interesting. Unfortunately, it is a cover shooter. To balance that out, you are fighting crazy snatcher like robots that you can blow specific limbs off of. There is also a system where depending on how you do and how you interact with your squad throughout the game, they can kick the bucket. So you can in theory yell your coworkers to death.

I'll probably try the demo sometime this weekend, but I think it will be neat. Not 60 dollars neat for me right now, but maybe 40 dollars neat.

Edit: "Haha, I was called out for picking the two female members for my squad. I'm already liking this game."

Binary Domain 'Bigger than you Think'

"Binary Domain" sounds like a coding help website from 1995, or an independent computer repair shop circa 1988.

as for the game I've gone from disinterest to curiosity the more I see of it,

Black ops 2? couldn't they think of some other covert military names like COD: NSA, COD: Homeland security, or COD: IRS, but assuming it's still the cold war I guess we can look forward to a COD: Generations where every character from all 53 game travels in time to stop some terrorists from starting the Big Bang 2 eventually.

Didn't even the Cod fans hate Black Ops?

Bongo Bill · « **Reply #3373 on:** February 17, 2012, 04:37:23 PM »

Fans of cod hate cardiovascular disease, but I don't know if that implies anything about their taste in video games.
