God, I'll grab a plane and just fly around and do nothing else because it all looks so fucking glorious. Screw map objectives.

on that, I really don't see how this looks better than Bad Company 2. I mean, BC2 already looked great so it isn't really a complaint, but right now Frostbite 2 looks pretty much like Frostbite 1 (or whatever variant of it BC2 used). Though the maps in this game are obviously bigger. And the environmental destruction in the single player stuff looks more advanced, but I also wouldn't be surprised if it was scaled back a bit for multiplayer anyway.

A horribly produced trailer for the Vita's Gravity Daze, with its final Western title revealed as Gravity Rush. So glad that music won't be in the game.

How ironic is the existence of a "Playstation Official App" for iOS/Android?

why do trailers for psp games always do the thing where they show the psp or the psp screen

that game does still look pretty cool though

Really disappointed this is not a Game.com thread.

Yeah, if all of these are confirmed and not canceled, I am definitely getting a Vitae.

I don't buy it solely because of "XCOM: Enemy Unknown"

Dishonored looks like it might be something that isn't a sequel. Now if it can live up to its promises, that'd be something.

Man, you guys are wandering way off topic.

I came into this thread hoping to find some good review sites for Game.com games. I'm sure we all know that most Game.com carts are more or less available if you're patient enough to watch eBay and Yahoo Auctions, but I still like to know what I'm getting into before I lay down my dough. What sites or message boards do you guys use?

Right now I'm wondering if Resident Evil 2 is worth the investment. Having already played the PSX version, my main concern is that the Game.com might not have the graphical ability to support a similar play experience, but it would be really cool if the game had any sort of stylus support.

Unfortunately information is hard to come by. If any of you guys have any first-hand knowledge I'd really appreciate it!

TMKF you obviously must be the man to build the game.com webshrine with reviews of every game.com game.

TMKF, I would get RE2, I've heard it's going to be revolutionary! Also, I've been getting into this really new game called Duke Nukem 3d! It's pretty interesting. You fight aliens but you have one heck of a vibrant personality (which is pretty stunning noting the monochromatic screen). I have that fantastic game and Batman & Robin. If you want to trade, I'll send you a PM.

man, it is too bad there couldn't have been a portable system at some point with graphics like that, that was as generally smooth to play as a most gameboy games.

tmkf, post on sb via your game.com

Man, yeah, I didn't even notice that. Those guys were like "lololol never" when I asked if they'd ever port it to anything else. Kinda made me not want to pay anything for it, if I ever do play it.

I appreciate the thought, Blueberry Hill, but my Power Mac 7300 can't display flash (^_^);

I hate to break it to you, TMKF, but I did eventually acquire a prototype of A Bug's Life. Let's just say, that's the first time I've ever described level design like that as pretentious. Now, The Symphony of the Night prototype is fantastic! It runs at a very smooth 15 FPS and the graphics are astounding!

This is timely.

The Game.com version of Resident Evil always looked like Nguyen Ngoc Loan: the Game.

re Sword and Sworcery, Android is hard to port to because Java is very different from Objective-C, there's a much wider variety of resolutions and specs to worry about, and SaS's resolution and interface are unusually specific to current iOS devices. so i don't blame them for just writing it off. they probably didn't have to go "lololol" though.

Did anyone watch the streaming games of League of Legends Dominion map? I'm curious what you guys think.

is there a game.com emulator? maybe the games are more playable without the blur.

I can understand why they don't want it to be mouse-controlled. When you control a game with a mouse, you're touching your mouse; you're not touching the game. For many games this is a pretty meaningless distinction, but it's not when the game is designed to make use of the metaphor of touching.

I agree with you that developers should generally avoid those kinds of flip, dismissive responses, but I mean how would you respond if someone asked you to ingest your own post-nutritive byproduct?

That's true. About the metaphor of touch, I mean. Still, though, I think I'd have to play it on a bigger screen (and bugging my gf to let me play a game on her iPhone seems obnoxious). Maybe if I get an old iPad some day...
