Did they just call madden pretty? I don't think anyone has called a football game pretty since madden 2001.

 

[Oldschoolgamer]

So what about Bayonetta? What did they say?

 

[Jumpman23]

"Bungie making multiplatform and PS3 games"


If this happens some people around here may have an epic meltdown. :lol

On another note, why does everyone get their issue before me?

You're not the only one.

Darth Vader is lame? Didn't Shane preview it and say that Dark Vader was badass?

Please be Rocket Knight Adventure. Please. It simply makes no sense that we've had the GBA come and go and now entering the final years of the DS and not even a PORT of the damn games!

 

[Kafel]

The PS3 version is saddled with Darth Vader, but Yoda is the better character of the two, as he's sprightly and nimble, as opposed to the slow and lumbering Vader.

Can you really trust anything Shane says when it comes to PS3 specific content though?

- No load times when teleporting to a session marker
- Play as a girl
- Tiger Woods-like character editor
- Default camera tweaked. New 3rd person camera
- Using EA's site for uploading videos again

Damn nice!

As stated on Bungies weekly update

" "Microsoft remains our current publisher and partner. We’re not currently working with anyone else. "------ weekly update (today)

Now I know people will try and spin these words but you heard it straight from Bungie.
Partner and publisher kind of puts any other platform development rumors to rest.

Didn't Edge say something very similar about Vader?

Wait, is Mielke pro or anti 360 now? You guys seem to flip flip so much I can't keep up!

edit: misspelling

they might be? new nc studiooo

That's news to me, when did they open that up?

 

[Spirit of Jazz]

Are you confusing Milkey with Shoe or Che? He's always been one of the most objective members of the staff in regards to platform, stop grasping at strings fanboy.

Anywho, the interviews sucked but what was said about Bayonetta?

 

[twilitesparklemotion]

I want to know why Darth Vader is lame in SC4 dammit!?

I got the impression he's an overpowered whore.

- More Star Wars characters will come to SCIV as DLC

Let's get some Luke Skywalker, Mara Jade and Jacen Solo up in this thing.

 

[Xater]

Who the hell thinks Vader is lame in SC4? Lemme guess?

milky?

Yep Milky. His review is on 1up if you want to read it.

 

[MCD]

did anyone write the bayonetta and the itagaki/sakaguchi interview?

 

[Raein]

EGM has been digging their own grave for the last four years or so. I got a free subscription to them for a year several months ago, and every issue I've gotten has been steadily worse and worse.

The rumor mill this month is ridiculously stupid. "Q-Man" just pulls stuff out of his ass, so that something is BOUND to be true eventually.

The reviews were on par with the rest of the industry for the most part...woo.

 

[Kintaro]

Yep Milky. His review is on 1up if you want to read it.

He says Vader is lame, yet Yoda can't even be thrown. Okay...

 

[Spirit of Jazz]

Maybe it was in reference to the characters power?

Wat. Other than that-- sounds awesome.

 

[electric pony]

Wat. Other than that-- sounds awesome.

I agree. It all sounds incredible, except for that one line. I'll be really bummed if the cities share the same architecture, only with a couple of potholes and broken windows. :/

The sense of discovery I got from the first game was incredible. Let this be the same.

Reminds me of Rare statements back in 2002 ("Our relationship with Nintendo hasn't changed in any way" "Business as usual").

The Bungie rumor is unreasonable for now, but it's silly to think that they'll be a MS exclusive forever. I'm sure at some point they'll go multiplatform, and I hope they do.

I really don't understand this whole thing with fanboys crying about this and that going multiplatform... I'd think that anyone who's a real Bungie fan would want Bungie games reaching more people, not fewer. I know I want more people to be able to appreciate their terrific games.

Not really. Why else would MS basically cut off their balls at E3?

 

[TDG]

Why would MS be able to cut off their balls if Bungie was multiplatform? Wouldn't it be Bungie/their new publisher's call? Bungie has said that right now they're only working with MS, and we know that Bungie must remain exclusive for a while as part of their deal. So yes, the rumor is unreasonable right now.

 

[2DMention]

I remember when those EGM issues were BEEFY back in the Street Fighter II days.

 

[gillty]

awesome a FFXI article i may have to buy.

 

[Darth Tigris]

Who are you trying to convince here, us or yourself? It reads like the latter if I'm honest.

What would be the big deal if Bungie did decide to start developing multiplatform titles? While there are some technical limitations for developing across the HD consoles and PC I doubt a technically gifted developer like Bungie would really struggle that much in that regard.

I think it's pretty clear at this point that they aren't really interested in continuing with HALO titles beyond the one they have in development at the moment. So why not have them develop whatever for whomever they like?

Hmm. Looks like you read way more into my comments than was intended. I was just going by the current facts (which have been clarified by now in this very thread) that Bungie was working just with Microsoft.

Multiplatform Bungie wouldn't bother me. I've enjoyed the Halo titles, but if they were available on other platforms I wouldn't care. I just don't want to play soap opera speculation with the Bungie/MGS relationship. Its been highly beneficial in a financial sense for both, so those looking for a scandal are just fishing.

 

[jon bones]

i <3 skate 2 already

 

[SolidSnakex]

It looks like we're going to be getting some more skate.2 news soon

It's been a little quiet with the BB crew cranking on Skate 2. We should have something for you guys to look at before the end of the month.

The game is looking really hot right now, the team is once again proving they're one of the best in the biz. Wait 'til you see for yourself - the bar is gonna be raised once again.

Stay tuned - we're about to kick it all into gear again.

Bucky O'Hare was pretty good, had a lot of key Treasure people developing the game too. Awesome music. But what would make this the best... 2D Jackal, would pretty much be the best thing ever.
