I think this was the Shattered Memories thread? Further back than I thought it was.

Hey Yakuza/Ryu ga Gotoku 3 was officially official for US announced, this is some serious business everybody better be in line for this one D:

http://kotaku.com/5421586/yakuza-3-heading-westward-next-year

I am really excited. Pretty glad the gamenetosphere has actually been pushing for this one, probably sites like Kotaku have been instrumental in getting it localized. Justice is done. Let's all buy it please

mega man 10.

http://kotaku.com/5422828/mega-man-10-revisits-retro-or-the-rise-of-sheep-man

keeps the 8-bit retro look, which is a little bit of a shame considering i thought they were just doing that for 9 for the fuck of it. was hoping for a newer 2D HD flavor, but eh, no matter. i still enjoy the old style.

that cover artwork is nothing short of spectacular, though.

maybe it will tie directly into mega man x?

Murakami's sheepman has finally joined Wily's robot army.

Animal bosses is Megaman X's thing, combined with the overall direction of that cover I think Capcom is hinting something here. :)

[Deets]

The "cover" is from the Nintendo Power story, and looks like a contract job. That is to say, not Capcom's work.

Probably stating the obvious, sorry :<

I like Mega Man 9 a lot. Looking forward to this!

[chevluh]

Dunno, I don't read Nintendo Power outside of a few scans but the shantae stories always have Wayforward artwork, for example. Plus looking at the sig it's made by the same guy who made the MM9 cover.

Manhole: Masterpiece Edition is out on GOG!

Could you tell us why you hold it in high regard?

this is certainly the weirdest news I've heard in a while

[ionustron]

I remember when that was released, made me real sad. Here's to hoping...

A metrovania remake would be....bizarre, but I almost wanna see it. Just don't end up like Order of Ecclesia or something...

Or perhaps a remake/tightening of that weird NES Valis port.

[Dark Age Iron Savior]

[ionustron]

yeah that press release is really unfortunate

[Marshmallow]

[Dark Age Iron Savior]

Manhole was basically a circa 2002/2003 "click on things to see what weird shit they do" Flash game - that sounds like a belittling description now, but it's actually an attempt to tap into any distant memories you might have of a time when such flash "storybooks" were actually new and fascinating instead of predictable and tiresome.

There were things like it over the years (like Panic! and various other exploration-heavy adventure games), but in the sheer sense of "this leads to this, then that, and over here...." discovery, it was over a decade ahead of it's time. In the proper context, it recalls a lot of the wonder of the first few Disney World-like rides you experience as a child - things that you only dimly recognize as commercial endeavors and at the immediate moment feel like adventures you are personally taking part in. It also evokes the same general concept we have of fantasy worlds as a child - places which are strange in that they contain unreal and amazing things we can't experience in the real world, but also safe because they are related to us in comfort and we are not old enough to conceive of wonder and danger co-existing.

(or basically the age of "I want to go be a knight and slay dragons", not the age of "now that I think about it, a dragon would totally fuck my shit up")

I hope I'm explaining this well.

[Marshmallow]

OH OK APPARENTLY MY DESCRIPTION WASN'T GOOD ENOUGH FOR DAIS

SCREW YOU DAIS

Pixeljunk Shooter is out now on PSN. I literally gasped with delight when I found out.

Edit: Also, there's a demo out for Dante's Inferno. Get ready to cringe, everyone.

Man, Valve really knows where it's at when it comes to keeping old games fresh.

[Dark Age Iron Savior]

[CubaLibre]

[negativedge]

well, considering most teams have like 6 snipers these days, yeah, I'd say an incentive to not play a sniper or a spy is pretty ok

Diablo 2 getting patched again

They put in skill respec and the ability to create hardcore characters without having to beat the game.

Forget everything else, the news of the decade is Road Avenger is getting a novelisation.

They're hoping to create a market for my Defender novelization.

The protagonist's suit looks a lot less bulky this time, so in turn, I'm expecting the controls to be smoother. Unlike Silent Hill, this is one series that would lose absolutely nothing by getting rid of its sluggish controls.

[Rud31]

I can't wait for them to tell me to aim for the limbs.

I'm a sucker for apocalyptic and monolithic imagery, so this thing has my interest.

Unless one skied, in which case they were like linebackers who could leap a canyon at high-speed. And in Tribes, if you weren't skiing, you weren't playing the game right.
