Final Fantasy XIII-4 Snow's Haircut
Holy shit, that's Snow? Is that a photoshop?
I haven't played FFXIII-2 because of FFXIII. He looks so different there.

And then we wake up and realize our lives have only been a dream.

Ah yes i forgot about it. :/
Wait, you're completely forgetting about the new Tomb Raider game from SE, a new Castlevania game from Konami and the reinvented DMC game from Capcom!
I hope every year that SNKP would get back into.. talking about, and releasing stuff. At least in SOME way. But it takes so long to make the kinda games we want from them... oy.
At any rate, METAL SLUG you say?!?! I'd love to see something using the expanded character groundwork used in MSXX/7. I had a lot of fun getting to play Ralf, Clark, and Leona in a MS, and I rather like the way everyone has their best weapons, as well as unique abilities.
Hopefully, this means they could do something with WiiU, as well. I'd love a place to drop SNK fanart on Miiverse (already have a few pieces up there), and Dual Screen functionality could actually bring some interesting gameplay elements to the game.
At the same time, wouldn't mind seeing some Vita love from them, either. SNKP were oddly strong supporters of PSP, so some Vita releases might make a lot of sense.
At any rate, it's nice to see some conversation and updates from smaller, more niche JP companies.
The year already seems to be looking promising and bright, and we're still a few days away from it even starting!

well it's one of those years where everything should be coming together. every 3 years since 1998 is usually a big year for the industry- at least in the west
1998: oot, pokemon, metal gear solid, panzer dragoon saga, sonic adventure, banjo-kazooie, final fantasy tactics, half-life, starcraft
2001: final fantasy x, gta iii, halo, ssbm, paper mario, shenmue ii
2004: halo 2, san andreas, half-life 2, paper mario 2, pikmin 2
2007: super mario galaxy, halo 3, the orange box, mass effect, uncharted, bioshock, god of war 2
2010: super mario galaxy 2, bayonetta, red dead redemption, god of war iii, halo reach, starcraft 2, vanquish, 999
2013 (so far): next god of war, pikmin 3, gta v, mgs: ground zeroes and/or metal gear rising as far as returning franchises go.

Yeah, same here. I use Ralf a lot in KOF, so getting to play him in MS was awesome.
Giving characters unique abilities and attributes also adds diversity, other wise your only playing as Marco because he looks cooler than Clark.
Hope they don't go 3D though. MS's sprites are god like

*laughs* That's probably true, but I'll believe that it's a souped-up Metal Slug 8, and then my game of the year list can be wrapped up early. This can't be worse than 2012, anyway.

Don't worry, they already did that years ago. We just all conveniently forgot and that game wasn't released outside of Japan out of benevolent mercy on SNK's part. And that's before you consider a certain other example, too.
We were just discussing it a few post up...
A lot of stuff isn't as good as it was in the 90s, lol. Budgets for these kind of games have severly changed. The amount and ease of pumping out iterative releases also has. Talent has been seperated, and moved on, some by choice, others not...
... but even still, I really rather enjoyed MSXX! Some of the gameplay ideas they had were really quite great, and it was great to see that they could still show loads of personality and fun in the designs and animations, when called to do such.
If we could even get an SNK Metal Slug that did for it's series, what Hard Corps Uprising did with Contra, I think most of us would be pretty happy. Make that into a full HD 2D spritework, full retail game, the likes of which 2D (not 2.5!) run-and-gun haven't seen since the 90's, and I think the true successor to the original Slugs could finally emerge.
As long as there's a "Real Game", and not some Social Network or Cellphone game at the end of this "Charge", I'll be quite happy. Go Go HD Fio!
Maybe they'd even try to use some of the Metal Slug Pocket ideas in a new Slug... even more branching paths! Or take some ideas from the Mobile Phone games, such as playing Sgt. Allen, ha.
Would be too great... But who are we kidding? It won't come.
you had to do that, didn't you? How I wish there was a new dark cloud game....
That said SCEJ sounds excited. Let's hope that SSM dude changed things, it looks much better already with puppeteer, rain, soul sacrifice. I hope they are making Demon Souls 2 for PS4, that would be sick...
2009 >> 2010 imo

Oh I love these provoking and deep commentaries from Japanese developers. They basically just say "we are making a game. Please look forward to it!" Every.single.time.
I guess elaborating would be too much

Well, Japanese companies seem to love planning proper announcements in their own schedule. And nothing wrong with that. The big question is why magazines keep asking about future plans when replies are mainly useless.

iOS, Browser or 3D game?
but seriously, make those sprites. you'll need them for the next battle coliseum.

I like how most everyone was vague, except D3 and CC2, who were just like "fuck it, here's what we're releasing". :lol
Also, please let Onechanbara Z be getting a PS3 port!
Play Asia has a tentative listing for it. Just got an email update from them and there it was.

Sorry for the thread bump, but this didn't seem to be worthy of a new thread.
fuck that dude, hope for the sky
720p NESICA and CONSOLE and PC release with KOF XII QUALITY ART and MORE MOVES+CHARACTERS THAN 6/7/XX and LONGER THAN SLUG 3 but CONSISTENTLY PACED (unlike slug 3's second half) and DESIGNED TO ARCADE PHILOSOPHIES with NO STAGE SELECT BS but lots of HOME EXTRAS
I'd be happy with a downloadable game as good as XX, but who knows what we're getting.

Thanks for the heads up.
