Ummm... you can go ahead and remove pixeljunk racers from the oct. 4th listing if its coming out this week, right?
Other than that, very well made list, as usual :)
Anyone else think Sony won't dare to release the skate and tony hawk demos on the same day? ;)
 
I'm pro evo through and through but I must say I am looking forward to checking out what EA has brought to the table with FIFA this year.

Looks great in vids, and if gameplay matches it will definately tide me over til pes2008 drops.

BTW When do we get our hands on Echochrome?

Europe dates on those. I will take it off once it gets released in the UK. Judging by the absence of Tekken 5 online on the list, I'm guessing that will be coming very soon as well.
 
Graphics:
Everything is crisp, but unfortunately the backgrounds are horribly bland and static.

Why would you animate the backgrounds?! That would distract the player from the race itself. Fuckin' dumb. :lol

Really, anything that costs under $20 at release should get a thumbs up or thumbs down. IGN is generally shit, anyways.
 
Maybe if they do a sale on it for $3 at some point like they did with Super Rub a Dub I'll check it out, but it's a definite pass at $7.

Agreed.

I liked the concept when I heard top down racer, but the whole on rails gameplay looks like it's boring. The vids Iv'e seen on IGN suck balls. Game looks bland.
 
Fifa, whoo! Seems to have come into it's own the last couple years. It might not be 100% comparable in game play to PES/W11, but the presentation has been great as of late.

And I'll take one copy of Vegas, please. Hopefully a try-before-you-buy with PixelJunk will be available; looks ace. Really like the clean, austere style. I've always had a soft spot for that Sprint game that's available; PixelJunk at least seems somewhat similar.

Skate demo FFS!

I second this. I really want to know which version of the game to buy. I generally prefer how the sixaxis controls in third person games, and I want to try it out before the 360 version is available.
 
Been looking to try out a new soccer game...

Now heres to hoping Tony Hawk isn't as boring as its been for the last 25 games in the series.

The 360 demo isn't the greatest thing I've ever played... as much as I'd love to defend THPS out of nostalgia, it just isn't as fun as the skate demo in my opinion.

Yeah it looks boring even by 1981 standards. They should do Rock n' Roll racing HD - online instead, that would be nice.

Edit: BTW I tried the HS Japanese demo and it's truly an "updated" build. The Ninja Theory logo is different, the opening FMV is washed out and now has small hiccups, you can't pick up a corpse and throw it BUT it's smoother, has less tearing, there are now "color confirmation" when pressing the right buttons (and probably when missing too) in QTEs. That's about it.

I still don't understand how you're supposed to see what's going on in pixeljunk racer if you have a screen smaller than 42". And/or incredible eyesight.
Click to expand...
Oh, I don't think you're supposed to see. You just laugh maniacally as little blotches of color appear and disappear.

It's ephemeral gaming with the joy of gaining an astigmatism. All for $6.99. I'm hoping to gain the ocular clarity of a feral cat with cataracts by playing this game. Never know, dreams sometimes come true; mostly for my optometrist and his yacht ; )
 
To those saying PixelJunk Racer looks boring from vids... it's actually the opposite when you play it. Give it a chance.
 
Others scheduled for 2007
-Super Street Fighter 2 Turbo HD

I think I saw october 28th for this on the capcom blog

corpse tossing was so fun though!

for the price of pixel racer I could rent heavenly sword though
 
This week is a meh to me. But at least since so much content is coming out, that will reduce the amount of bitching until next week. =P

That is what lack of sleep and the attendant intoxicated giddiness will give you.

Getting a workable schedule for school is loads of fun. I hope the professors I've been emailing at least find something intelligible. It's kinda like my signature; the hell if I know what I just wrote.
 
dallow_bg said:
So no one can really confirm that the HS Japanese demo is any different?
Click to expand...

it's just a newer build of the one we got. the sound issues in the first QTE are gone and now, when you press the button/direction in QTEs, if you do it right, it turns green, if not, it turns red. other than that and the japanese voice overs, there's little to no difference.

Oh please, Beatmania / Pop'n Music pattern swarms already ruined my eyes. I am going to play this one by sound only.
 
I'll probably buy the poker in a month or so when I go to visit my family. Racers I'll wait and see.

But I really want to see how bad THPG is.
 
Man this is old...and i hate to say it every week, but....

Sony! Where the ____ are the ps1 games for NA.

Is 1 game a week or atleast a month that much to ask for??
Could they atleast give us a reason as to why they are not pushing it at all in NA but they will in JP.

Your sitting on a goldmine sony, a goldmine.

Oh well..i think i seen copies of Chrono Cross and Legend of Dragoon at a store near here so maybe i will just pick them up. Plus i'm buying Persona 3 and NHL08 today so i guess i will be busy anyways.
 
The euro store has a lot to make up for with last weeks lackluster update. =(

Skate pleeease!

So Loco Roco the 20th confirmed ? Someone said it'll be there this tuesday on Euro PSN (eurogamer was the source IIRC)
Click to expand...

It's the 20th, they must've misinterpreted it...
 
Up on the JP PSN is the latest in Japanese Game Magazine Downloadable Folks, this time the Gemaga Folk, but unlike Dengeki PlayStation's Pedobear Version 2.0 or Weekly Famitsu's Editor who shoots exploding hardened nosebleed icicles out of his nose, this eccentric chap is only available for Ellen.

Yes I did download this (as I did with all the other Folks prior to this one), but I have yet to try him since my current save is still Keats' game.
