What is Legendary what is Project Origin?

 

[Cirekiller]

This isn't the first time the transforming PS3-mote rumor has come up, is it? I distinctly remember hearing about this before, wasn't it a prior EGM or surfergirl?

I think I heard it on a podcast don't remember if it's 1Up yours or a IGN podcast.

 

[rakka]

What is Legendary what is Project Origin?

project origin = f.e.a.r sequel
legendary = no idea

 

[GoldandBlue]

This is exactly what I expected. FFTA2 has fantastic SRPG gameplay, but the story just isn't there. I think people who really care about SRPG gameplay are going to have a great time with it. I sure did.

I kinda prefer it this way. With FFT I kept wanting to move along and keep up with the story that I eventually screwed up and saved before the final battle not able to go back.

With FFTA I was able to clock in 100 hours and kept busy with all the missions so I can't wait to play this.

Thanks.

 

[Jason's Ultimatum]

What the fuck at Infamous. This is starting to get rediculous.

 

[EvilMario]

I don't think Mario Kart Wii disproves that statement, and I have played it

Nintendo's online methods are bordering on ludicrous, but if Smash was half as decent as Mario Kart I might actually be able to play Smash online.

 

[Tideas]

wait, the industry depends on WiiFit?

And EGM goes down the hole for trying to sell magazines

 

[onegoodlogan]

I think Shane might have mentioned it on 1upyours.

Does that mean it transforms into MANGOD?

 

[ItAintEasyBeinCheesy]

Legendary is a shooter, imagine God Of War as a shooter, mythological beasties Wherewolfs, Griffins, Minotaurs and stuff are ravaging some town London or something i think. Its a multiplatform titles, actually looks like it could be bad ass.

Screens at link, heard somewhere there would be a Krakin or whatever.

Um, can you blame them? It's not drastically changing the magazine, it's topical and might get some new readers. Maybe you'd prefer that they didn't write it at all? So they can have less pages in the magazine and you can bitch about that some more.

I'd like to know what they have to say on Wii Fit.

 

[rollingstart]

I just got my issue in the mail and am reading through it. Didn't expect Boom Blocks to get GOTM, but awesome.

 

[Glix]

Please do not fall for it. Boom Blox is so far away from being an A+, or even an A game for that matter.

So it's exactly like the other ones? That doesn't really sound like a low B game to me, but whatever. Definitely not skipping this one.

Yeah, sounds good.

Something new and cool and unlike anything else out there? Bah, don't "fall" for it!

A sequel thats exactly like the last one? AWESOME!!

/sarcasm

People like this make the industry suck.

 

[Barrett2]

Final Fantasy Tactics A2: Grimoire of the Rift: B-, B-, B

Shit. I had extremely high hopes for this game. Looks like it doesn't hold up to FF Tactics: War of the Lions.

 

[chubigans]

Please do not fall for it. Boom Blox is so far away from being an A+, or even an A game for that matter.

Such lies. I think the game is awesome. Buy without hesitation as long as you have at least one friend to share the experience with. Multiplayer is fantastic.

 

[Aeana]

Shit. I had high hopes for this game. Looks like it doesn't hold up to FF Tactics: War of the Lions.

Not storywise, at least.
I think many aspects of the gameplay are at least on par, though.

 

[Safe Bet]

And then what? GTA IV was and still is the most overrated game in the history of humanity, so as long as it remains like that, at least don't give it the monopole of the overrating.

I'm expecting a huge E3 showing.

Any new info regarding gears multiplayer?

Legendary used to be called "Legendary: The Box", it's made by the guys who crashed Ken Levine's speech at the game awards I think. Cock something games.

 

[Captain Glanton]

Bullshit. What else is Nintendo going to announce for this fall?

Their sales figures, Scrooge McDuck-style from atop huge stacks of cash.

Next month's EGM looks pretty awesome. NG II and MGS should be enough to hold off a summer drought this year.

 

[GrotesqueBeauty]

How many fucking features can be written about the Wii having crappy games? Get the fuck over it, you've exhausted the subject thoroughly you one track wankers. The articles weren't ever that insightful to begin with.

 

[krackerjack]

I know the reasons behind it, but it is funny that MGS4 won't be reviewed until the August issue:lol

 

[Endless]

Gears 2

Full Recovery: Only returning MP maps are Gridlock and Subway

Locust Y execution will rip a guy's arm off and beat him to death with it...

If you go down with a frag in your hand, you can detonate it while you're downed, and take-out anyone trying to execute you.

You can call for help while downed and your indicator will flash on teammate's screens.

According to this the Gnasher is the one with the golf club finisher, and the Longshot gets slammed straight down on the enemy's skull, butt-first. Looks like the melee executions will still be the quickest way to execute someone up close, taking reportedly, a half-second...

ARing the Scorcher increases its effective range.

All grenades can be stuck to walls, and the smoke's blast will knock shields out of enemy hands.

Random weapon spawns will be sensitive to similar styles of weapons, so, the Longshot would be replaced by the Torque...

There appears to be a black-clad Theron-style locust with eerily familiar eyes and a suspicious, triangular, black marking on his head in one of the shots...

The Y button allows for a variety of executions, including the fist-pummeling for the COGs, the rip-the-arm-off move above for the Locust, and many weapon-specific executions, for instance, you can take the enemy's head, place it on the Torque's blade tip, and rip it off with your foot.

When using a shield, any exposed body parts are still fair game.

Passing mention of a new "Wall hugging" ability. Not sure what that refers to.

Screenshots taken while dead will be scored based on variables such as how many particle effects are present, or how close to centered the enemies are, is there blood or an execution present... The system was likened to Pokemon Snap or Dead Rising. The images will have their own Leaderboards so players can compete for who has the best screenshots.

The meatflag in Meatflag is a loudmouth Stranded. The scoring area in MF will move around to various locations after a while.

The new Locust pistol is once again called the Gorgon. I suspect Medusa was a mistake.

Solid cover will not be completely destructible (at least in MP) but you will be able to chip away a couple inches to get a slight angle on someone.

 

[BeEatNU]

I hope the transformers PS3 controller is real.

it will blow your mind.....

seriously....

 

[pakkit]

I don't think Mario Kart Wii disproves that statement, and I have played it

Let's agree to disagree. While Nintendo's online strategy has been mediocre for years, Mario Kart Wii, to me at least, is the light at the end of the tunnel. The online-only Tournament mode, deep rankings and stat tracking, and excellent match making mode really works for me. I know it may not be as deep or as varied as say

Spoiler

Halo 3

but I don't see how it ISN'T a significant step forward for Nintendo as a whole.

it's being sensationalist. Basically, it undermines what you're trying to represent. Basically. Credibility.

They gave Wii Fit a B+, a B-, and a B. How is that a crappy game?

 

[No_Style]

Thanks Endless.

 

[Gazunta]

Hellboy: The Science of Evil - C-, D, C
Good: Hellboy's gun is pretty cool
Bad: The rest of the game really isn't

I want NAMES!!!!!

 

[Proc]

EGM should do a pc section.

 

[Guled]

- Co-op will allow each player to play at different difficulty levels.

that sounds cool, but how will it work?

 

[GrotesqueBeauty]

I'm referring to this:

Features/Previews:

- Seanbaby talks about crappy games on Wii and DS

 

[No Means Nomad]

Yeah, sounds good.

Something new and cool and unlike anything else out there? Bah, don't "fall" for it!

A sequel thats exactly like the last one? AWESOME!!

/sarcasm

People like this make the industry suck.

I don't dislike Boom Blox because it's different. I dislike Boom Blox because it comes back to trying to be like every other game so much, especially in the Adventure mode. Oh here's an escort mission, now here's a shooting gallery, etc.

 

[dacuk]

- Nintendo and the industry depend on WiiFit

EGM "Hardcore" opinions are less realistic every freaking issue.

The end is nigh for this magazine....

Gears 2

Quote: Campaign Details

- Co-op will allow each player to play at different difficulty levels.
- If the campaign is played in co-op, players will be treated to special cut scenes and decisions that'll ultimately lead to one of numerous endings.
- The campaign should take, on average, about 15 hours to complete.
- A new boss named "Acheron" is reveled and is described as a gargantuan mammoth that the Locusts use to take out vehicles.

Multiplayer and Gameplay Details

- A new stamina bar is introduced and will determine how far you can run and how long you can fight. In other words, if your stamina bar is low, your overall performance will be lowered as well.
- An "En-Garde" multiplayer mode is revealed and will feature nothing but chainsaw combat.
- Another multiplayer mode called "Ordeal" will be included where teams battle to be the first to s

These are fakes

 

[jj984jj]

Rumors:
- Sega bringing Top Skater and Ollie King to Wii for use with the balance board

:O

Please use normal controllers if true!

Reviews:

Boom Blox - A+, A, A- GOTM
Good: Fun and addictive for all ages, tons to do, powerful level editor
Bad: Not for the shaky handed

I still don't get all the love for Bloom Blox, it is a $50 puzzle block game right?

Etrian Odyssey II: Heroes of Lagaard - A, B+, B
Good: Improves on first EO in every conceivable way
Bad: Can't shake that "expansion pack" feel

Space Invaders Extreme - A-, B+, B+
Good: Addictive, stylish, value priced
Bad: Some PSP backgrounds are a bit too busy

DO WANT!

Final Fantasy Tactics A2: Grimoire of the Rift - B-, B-, B
Good: Immeasurable depth and custiomization
Bad: Borderline meaningless plot

Kinda want...

Shit. I had extremely high hopes for this game. Looks like it doesn't hold up to FF Tactics: War of the Lions.

Not sure why you'd expect that from FFTA2, it's from the same team as FFTA.

 

[Tideas]

These are fakes

fake score then? haha

 

[onegoodlogan]

I'm referring to this:

Oh, it's SeanBaby. It is his duty to talk about crappy games. The cover story is a Wii game, this ties into that. You can't seriously be pissed about that.

 

[SolidSnakex]

These are fakes

This is real though

The developers are considering implementing a live, onscreen scoring ticker to show you how much damage you're dealing and how many points you're earning during a match.

 

[Exempted]

I still don't get all the love for Bloom Blox, it is a $50 puzzle block game right?

"Puzzle block game" is such a loaded phrase.

 

[mikekennyb]

I'm really looking forward to hearing about Civ: Revolution next month

 

[Oni Jazar]

Hey EGM:

WHERE THE HELL IS INFAMOUS?

 

[pgtl_10]

dubai? why dubai?

Hating on Dubai is the new fad in America. Hopefully we get to see a realistic view of Dubai including that ski slope in the mall.

 

[SolidSnakex]

Hey EGM:

WHERE THE HELL IS INFAMOUS?

Do they keep promising it? The game was delayed until next year and that's very likely the reason why they haven't had a cover story.

 

[Pojo]

I absolutely loved FFTA far more than FFT on the PSP, simply because I don't care about the story and the art design for FFT is extremely bland. The GBA version seemed to have more variety.

Did Square do something to ruin the game or something? I'm seeing mediocre reviews for a game that has a strong foundation. I know FFTA is not loved by the press, but I thought it was a great sequel.

 

[Y2Kev]

This is not the first time they've promised Infamous. I would like to see why they keep doing this. I've mentioned in the last few threads that Infamous has been teased month after month after month.

Own up, EGM. What's wrong?

 

[RobertM]

Holy shit Spec Ops. That was my Socom before there was Socom, so many awesome memories of co-op.

 

[FirewalkR]

Sony's probably keeping Infamous for E3, in order to drop jaws...

Spoiler

... that will drop even further at the sight of Heavy Rain.

July, so close and yet so far away. :/
