So xbox 360 versions of
Dirt 2
Grid

do either of these games have split-screen?

[Drem]

According to some google searches, it appears that no, they do not!

[eskaibo]

Hey so do one or two of y'all want Left 4 Dead?

It's like US$5.60 each for a 4-pack right now!

Does anyone know how/what I might need in order to use the wireless Tekken 6 Hori stick with my computer...to use MAME and stuff...that is...if such a thing is possible?

Also: Sorry I always accidentally put news in the quick questions thread.

Edit: 1. Is that new Cave shooter twin-stick, or could I use my arcade stick for it?
.
2. What should I get from XBLA or XBLIG to play with my arcade stick (besides fighting games, I've already got those taken care of). I was having fun playing the Gunstar Heroes demo on the stick...

With the MAME availability of Cave's arcade catalog up through 2001, I figured you would have at least played Dodonpachi somewhere along the line. Sorry if I came across as belligerent.

[GrouchoClub]

Well, to be honest, I hadn't really heard of Gave until this new game came out. I'm not really a seasoned shmup player but it's a genre I'm interested in exploring further...plus...it's very compelling to shell out the cash in support of Cave's decision to go region free. I want stuff like that to keep happening.

since the steam sale is about to end and it's very likely everyone else has better taste than myself, i was wondering if i could get opinions on The Witcher and Dawn of War II. buy or pass?

What good alternatives to the "mainstream" sites for videogame reviews (other than Action Button) are out there?

How much did Suda51 have to do with contact, and is it worth playing? I enjoyed Flower, sun and rain.

What other DS games are odd/interesting in a similar way?

Are there any good 3d exploration titles on ds? Tony hawk titles are as close as i've found.

[secret character]

As I understand it, Contact was mostly Akira Ueda's baby, and Suda51 had little to do with its creation. It's not a very good game, which is very unfortunate because it is gorgeous otherwise.

It's also not really a game you play. The ending is uh..too late. Someone on here says it actually takes more effort to turn the game off than it does to keep playing it. That's kind of true.

first, as MOAI said, Contact was mainly the child of Akira Ueda. (man, I need to get around to catching up on the media of Sakura Note)

having only played the two Shining Soul games (2x Ueda, 1x Suda), I'd make the casual and completely uninformed observation that the main difference between the two is that Suda is generally interested in shaping the narrative via passive presentation (such as cutscenes) while reinforcing it's structure through gameplay, while Ueda is more interested in allowing the player to form their own idea of the narrative through exploration with gameplay as the means of nudging you forward

or
Suda: "This is what I have to show you, but it is up to you what to make of it"
Ueda: "I have much I can show you, but it is up to you whether to consider it all important to your story"

but as indicated, I haven't really played most of their games

also, I didn't realize it until now, but Ueda worked on map design for Flower/Sun/Rain's original PS2 version. I wonder how that translated on the DS release.

[Lynchburg]

After wading through broken links and snotty ripostes from unhelpful "authorities" on the subject, can anyone direct me to the drivers required to use the Hori Ex2 (360) on Mame with instructions?

Most appreciated!

it's been a while since I last set up my EX2 for Mame, but I think these are the ones

http://www.redcl0ud.com/xbcd.html

if you search on srk, there should be a thread about it too (unless you already tried there)

[BotageL]

If you just want to use the EX2 on MAME, you shouldn't need any drivers at all. (MAME can detect and use the "hat switch" input, which 360 controllers map the D-Pad to.) It's only if you want to use the controller with games that won't use the hat switch (like a lot of poorly-coded Japanese amateur PC games) that you need the custom drivers, or liberal use of JoyToKey.

My buddy just got a monitor for his computer, and along w/ his HDTV we're going to have a mini-LAN party at his house tonight. We were going to play Killzone 2, but I'm looking for a couple cheap PSN games to either gameshare with him or to buy for a LAN night just in case. I'd probably only buy games I own for him ('cuz 2 copies of PS3 games is a bit expensive), so here's my list:

Army of Two
Kane & Lynch
Unreal Tournament III
Armored Core 4 Answer (does this have co-op?)
Dark Sector

I might just convince him to buy Metal Gear Online, too. Dunno. We're looking for good 2 console games, so, any ideas = awesome. Maybe Cellfactor: Psycho Wars? That shitty Punisher game?

How come in Triggerheart Exelica, sometimes projectiles seem to pass over me without causing harm and then other times make me lose a life? What am I missing about how the game works?

[luvcraft]

[Lynchburg]

[notbov]

mine was plug and play with a then-current version of MameUI(32) over the summer, but that was on my laptop that runs Vista, which then points to it being a driver thing, which brings us back to where we started. if you're using an older version of Mame, I would try a newer one though, couldn't hurt.

I completed Triggerheart on normal and really really liked it (will play through many more times and on higher difficulties) How do I go about playing more bullet-hell shooters of this kind? I have Xbox 360 w/ wireless arcade stick, PS3, PS2, Wii, Laptop...I'm aware of MAME, but is that worth using with the madcatz street fighter IV pad (which is all I have for a pc controller)? I know about that new Cave game, but the price is too steep.
