Does undecided mean the game might be canceled? Maybe Chromehounds really sold badly or something.

32 is "midcore" ? ...wtf is Midcore anyway :p


thats an awesome score, cant wait WOO !


that Sangokushi Taisen looks awesome too, some sort of card battle game, i guess? i love how you play holding the DS like a book though, i wish more games did that.


edit: looking more at the site, it looks like there is some Total War type battle stuff, mixed with cards, and some crazy ass movie attack things.... looks crazy

I hope Monkey Ball Wii is good. Touch & Roll was a mistake, and the E3 demo of BB looked like it was holding your hand FAR too much [Though that may just be for E3]

Any chance Star Fox will be voiced? Or will they go back to the goob goob gabu?

okay, so - when do those people who put a bet on about that Bandai Gundam game ending up looking better than the CG going to pay up ?

I saw some screens today, and i think it's time to pay the piper.

Does the magazine mention Rhythm Tengoku (GBA) anywhere? Or will we have to wait for next week, you think? :)

vulcanus-online-20041105000519867.jpg

I remember Vulcanus was introduced a LONG time ago way before PSP launched in Japan.

IGN has pics and videos of the early build...

http://psp.ign.com/articles/563/563844p1.html

In addition to a graphical change, Vulcanus for PSP is seeing a number of technical changes as well. The programming team has concentrated on packing in incredible numbers of enemy soldiers onto a battlefield, as is seen in money shot from the new trailer for the game. Network play is also still part of the game design, although the team has downplayed the original concept of an online game -- Vulcanus will support Wireless LAN networking for four players, although "online" still seems to still be part of the concept in some ways that are not fully clear yet. The game will be released with options for Korean, English and Japanese languages.

It was originally called Vulcanus Online, but it looks like the online has been cut...for shame

Well Summer 06 is pretty much... now, and I don't think the game is anywhere near being finished.

Hmm...31/40 for Melty Blood...eh, not bad. I suppose that's the most that a good, non-big name fighting game, at this point (especially if it doesn't necessarily push the "purty grafix" like others do).

Nevertheless, I'll definitely be picking this up. It'll technically be "Version B" of Act Cadenza with some fixes and upgrades, before MB:AC returns to the arcades with the PS2 ver./Version B's upgrades.

Cancelled would be nice, but From Software is the second friendliest Japanese developer for MS after Tecmo. :\

cancelled would be nice??... good lord.

is that music i hear!?
(backing vocals by Shane!)

Our land be in-va-ded
by the scum of the MS loving land
Take arms! my fellow country men,
take your DS2 in your hand hand,
For the evil scourge is on the march,
and your pure heart is saught,
to ensure that our fine games do remain
exclusive with neer a port

Sony! Oh Sony!
For the company we do sing
Sony! Oh Sony!
for salvation you do bring

Kutaragi is the masterhead
proud and saintly sure
his IQ is unmeasurable
and is more well hung than Moore
He will guide you on the battlefield
our problems he will fix
for the launch games will astound you
with AI and advanced physics!

Sony! Oh SOny!
we belong to you brotherhood!
Sony! Oh Sony!
'actually the delay works out quite good!"

etc....

Yes. It's been making money for From Software on the Playstation family of consoles for a decade now. I see no need for that to change.

Sorry if that doesn't fit with your Church of Sony Hate beliefs. :D

yeah, because releasing it on the X360 as well would mean those hoards of japanese gamers who would have bought the PS3 version would shun the game.

I wish microsoft had thought of this amazing tactic !

Sorry if that doesn't fit with your Church of Sony Hate beliefs.
Click to expand...

yes, i'm such a hater for wanting a game on two platforms rather than one so as many people can play it as possible. I'm such a wanker.

of course, wanting it to be cancelled on a different platform? that's the mark of a scholar and a gent with no issue or bais what so ever. I just i hope i grow up to be so refined and seasoned like your good self :(

Also factor in Armored Core only really sells well in Japan, and yeah - an Xbox release is completely superfluous. :D

The only benefit I can see here is shooting Xbots in the face w/ on-line play; but Microsoft's gated community would no doubt prevent that. But really, you want to play AC? Buy a Playstation.

chromehounds is actually doing so surpisingly well that sega cannot keep up with the server demands at peak hours, we have to wait in queues and whatnot to get scores reported when matches are over

So much misplaced fanboyism and hatred on both sides. The world/interweb is full of pathetically cynical and antagonistic 20 to 30-something year old males. Sorry, mates, just calling it as I see it.
