in a surprising breach of tradition, I'm starting this thread without any real news to post... so uh, here's some tacky 90's gif's of a police siren?



die, benren!

i dunno, it dates shit about as badly as numetal

i really hope this game is good though. We have the tech to do AMAZING extreme sports games these days and no one does it. My hands are too integral to my employment to put my wrists at risk bombing anything these days :/

Yeah, I am really hoping the new SSX is good, though I was one of the few people who liked the crammed mountain of On Tour, so who knows.

Really want the new news thread to be "This is the remix edition" but that is because I watched Trapped in the Closet a few weeks ago, so Kells is on the brain.

[Takashi]

Oh CES, you never dissapoint:

Loved the article on Kotaku talking about that being the future of portable PC gaming, lol.

[unlabored flawlessness]

Gunslinger Stratos is an eight-player versus light gun game for Japanese arcades, taking the concept introduced by 2Spicy to ridiculous levels.



Each player uses two guns. You can choose whether to wield both akimbo or physically connect the guns together in two different ways for a single stronger weapon. Sadly, this means a console port would be highly improbable...good luck marketing a game that requires two PS3 Move controllers per player.

In related news, I'm amazed that Gundam: Senjou no Kizuna is still getting updates.

Could this be the answer to DS-induced wrist fatigue I've always been waiting for?

[unlabored flawlessness]

As if further acknowledgement was needed that the 3DS and Vita are not truly portable systems (not that they really should be).

Kid Icarus is extraordinarily poorly-conceived given the hardware features. It is a game that you play with one hand on the analog stick, holding the system, and another hand using the stylus as a sort of half-assed "mouselook" to shoot things. This was awkward on the original DS; it's worse here since the 3D effect on the top screen breaks with even a relatively small adjustment of the viewing angle. Let's not get into using the Monster Hunter attachment so left-handed players can use the stylus with their dominant hand, which can't be combined with the stand.

That zombie apocalypse little-girl-hugging simulator AMY has been panned by a couple of sites. Not near the level of Big Rig racing; it's more the story being opaque, gameplay being repetitious and on the level of Silent Hill 1 for combat control.

Shame that. I thought it was an interesting premise when it was first announced.

[Gironika]

so AC5 has a EU and JP-shipping date, isn't there an american-one yet?

[Lasakon]

It also has pre-order DLC, which I guess we can blame Namco-Bandai for.

anymore details on the launch dlc?

From the story it kinda sounds like it just unlocks a bunch of parts you would have to play the campaign for, to make the dudes who just want it for multiplayer competitive straight away?

I can't find a lot of details but have they added like a weight limit or point/value limit to multiplayer games? it would be cool to be able to set up matches specifically for heavy slow dudes/ghetto cheap mechs or whatever

well. some development studio sure does like guardian heroes

[Drem]

I believe it actually has Guardian Heroes staff working on it.

About Gunslinger Statos, it's the new game by the Gundam Extreme VS guys. I've always wanted to play 2Spicy so I'm glad I have another 2Spicy I can always wish I could play.

The best part about the 3DS Icarus stand is that it's as close as we will ever get from Nintendo admitting having built and sold the Virtual Boy.

Wait, this is the trailer that got you interested? Not the previous one? I don't understand.

Anyway I am heavily interested in bro-oping this with all and sundry.

Is there co-op? Given the focus on the "managing your relationships with your AI squad mates" from other trailers I sort of thought they were keeping this one strictly single-player.

[CubaLibre]

I... I thought there was.

If there isn't, fucking forget about it.

The only co-op is in one of the separate multiplayer modes (based on the achievements, it looks to be called "Invasion"):

RIP some sb hype, I guess.

[Jigsaw]

Code of Princess looks neat and all, but it's a bit of a shame that the in-game sprites for the characters look like hot garbage instead of Kinu Nishimura's gorgeous art.
