If you liked Cruis'n you'd probably like the new (Wii) game too, it's a renamed port of the arcade 'The Fast and the Furious' game, which was made by the same guy as the Cruis'n series was. Quite similar gameplay... GAF obviously just doesn't like Cruis'n. I think they're okay, if simple... the Wii game will probably be fine, graphics excepted.

In deed
What does it mean, the mixing pot will be huge?
Huge part of the game, or huge object doing the mixing?
GIANT frog cousin maybe? D:
The MMO part sounds interesting. I really hope after this is done, Lv5 gets to do a real MMORPG. They obviously wants to.

Never a score seemed more fitting.

Am I the only person whose finding FF:CC for WiiWare strikingly similar in concept to King's Story?!
Amir0x said:oh so basically it's as shitty as the first FFTA
Where is the real news, not the dumb scores or about crappy Soul Calibur spin-offs
I agree, scores is not what I look forward to every week, but isn't FFTA supposed to be much better than it's first incarnation? For example, didn't they remove the judge system bs?

Except more focus on the building, and less on the RPG, eploration and combat that KS has.

Actually, they just made it optional. Having a judge with your party and using the law system gives your party stat boosts.Kyoufu said:

I don't know, I really hope so. FFT: Lion War reminded me of two things. One, the original was really a pretty well refined game (just needed to eek out some balance issues, and some of the "cheap" teammates you get during the game... and the slowdown), and two this "SRPG for beginners" that was FFTA was an insult to the franchise and the genre in general.
My problem wasn't the judge system conceptually, I think that could be tweaked into something worthwhile, my problem was...
- Lack of permanent Death (except in JAGD or whatever, where they toned the difficulty done even beyond the simplicity of the rest of the game so that you could almost never die anyway)
- Half of the classes were redundant/useless/unbalanced
- Territory defending was lame, tedious and so ridiculously easy that it served only to waste your precious time, by boring you to death.
- Stupid learn abilities via weapons system.
- Worst storyline in any RPG, or SRPG, or basically any thing related to the role playing genre ever. Well, all the ones that try to take themselves seriously anyway. This shit was embarrassing. Hell, it'd be embarrassing even if you were the sub-ten year old age group the story was apparently aimed at.

Seems like Namco has found their Link. Stick Lloyd in a game and everyone will buy it.

SSM5/DW6 scans! YES!
*happy dance*
SIMA YI looks fuck-awesome. I'm not sure on his weapon change though he was actually really kickass in SSM4(then again if you want to get technical both him, Zhuge, and the Qiao sisters all fought with fans. If Sima is getting this treatment I will have to prostrate myself at Omega Force's offices if they ditch the fans for at least one of the Qiaos). Giving him claws oddly reminds me of No from Sengoku Musou. Though hers were concealed most of the time.
Hopefully his attacks don't just involve a bunch of scratching and such(if he fights like say...Iori from KoF I'm going to hate life). Last thing he needs is to look even weaker than Zhuge Liang. It would be really cool if his style was similar to the Ninja Woman from Sengoku Basara(Forgot her name but she fights with claws and wires, my most played character in SB2)
In the second shot it looks like there's some sort of sphere grid ala FFX. I guess you can gather points and then upgrade your characters however you wish. It'd be really sweet if you could share the points with other characters so you can build them up as well.
Also looks like you can level up your mounts again. This leads me to believe that special mounts like the Red Hare, Hex Mark, and the Elephant will require finding the special item like past DWs(And you'll probably have to fight LuBu, Liu Bei, and Meng Huo/Zhu Rong to get them).
I'm reading through Three Kingdoms a second time so I'm pretty much nuts for the series.
SB2 Heroes
Not really much to say. I'm hoping the multiplayer mode actually means a real coop campaign style mode and not just lame challenge or VS modes. Still hoping for a US release for the Wii version. There is this one mission with Nobunaga where he faces off against Nagamasa Azai and Oichi. Nobunaga tends to laugh often throughout his story mode and for some odd reason him, Azai, and Oichi are just laughing like crazy for parts of the battle. I had no idea what the hell was going on.

I imagine that the two games will play and feel much less alike than they sound, but right now, the similarity does seem pretty weird.

Looks at clan made up entirely of Viera assassins and human/moogle thieves who have stolen each and every one of their action abilities....Amir0x said:
Ok, you've got me on those two.
vicious_killer_squirrel said:
Wow, do not want.
Still looking forward to impressions on FFTA2 though.
Saying that, not really looking forward to a non-Matsuno Ivalice game. Normally I wouldn't care but the man made FFT and FFXII, two of my favourite FF games. I haven't played Vagrant Story (leave those pitchforks alone) yet but I really should dig deep and get it on ebay.

Great for GoW2. And finally some quality Wii title is coming !! FFTA2 score is a classic score for a good FF spinoff.

One would assume that Soul Calibur is enough to get people interested.
This raises a question, which is the more popular of Namco's series, Tales or SC?
