Famitsu - 29 Sep (Super Street Fighter 4)

[cvxfreak]

Just picked up the mag and Biohazard 5 Alternative Edition is looking really, really good.

Spoiler

Now I want a next-gen REmake REmake!

 

[gofreak]

I love that UC2 boxart. Wish they did a similar style for the US/EU versions (i.e. hand-drawn poster-ish, even if not exactly the same).

If you don't mind could you confirm the following details:

- What's the Strange Journey article about this week.

- Did Strange Journey really get 10/9/9/8 in the review? What does Famitsu say about the completion time above the review boxes?

- What's Blue Dragon's score, and what's the completion time estimate as well.

Thanks!!

36/40 for Strange Journey apparently.

Highest rated SMT title in Famitsu.

Will look into the article right now, but as for the reviews:

Strange Journey is indeed 10 / 9 / 9 / 8.
Blue Dragon DS 8 / 8 / 7 / 8. 30 hour estimated completion time.

Thanks again! Man, Blue Dragon's lack of previews and ads in Famitsu really hurt the review! Atlus knows how to play the game well, and it looks like those 7-page previews and various ads they placed in the mag totally paid off!

Uncharted's JP cover is awesome :lol It has cool retro vibe in it imo.

You're always welcome.

As for Strange Journey's article, it covers the game's weapons. Not familiar with the series at all, but there are two weapons, a sword and a gun.

A few pages are also dedicated to the series' history, looking at past games.

 

[Drame]

・Pop'n Music Portable (PSP)

Please come out this year, please!

 

[Error]

did they mention the time it took them to beat Strange Journey?

Ah okay, I see Atlus is padding their Famitsu preview page counts again. :lol

What does it say about SJ's completion time? Is it also about 30 hours?

Edit: Nevermind, it's okay. I saw a complete scan. 50-70 hours! Woo!

 

[Tenbatsu]

Wow which means to collect all monsters it will be ~100hrs + :O

Yeah that's what it says.

[Hypereides]

Such a boring issue, I still cant believe TGS sucked so much in terms of 3rd party reveals ...

 

[Error]

boring for CONSOLES but AWESOME FOR PORTABLES.

 

[DR2K]

boring for CONSOLES but AWESOME FOR PORTABLES.

What was announced for portables?

 

[Error]

nothing huge, just more confirmation that handhelds are the future.

 

[Aru]

boring for CONSOLES but AWESOME AND FOR PORTABLES.

Fixed.

cvx, please tell me that the new scenario isn't the only extra of the game

 

[vesp]

I hope the surprise is not having to fucking unlock everyone again.

And Alex.

 

[Relaxed Muscle]

cvx, please tell me that the new scenario isn't the only extra of the game

Jun Takeuchi:
- The extra element was planned from the beginning of the game production
- The size is too big to be a DLC
- Co-op
- Jun Takeuchi’s 1st gameplay was about 1 hr 40 minutes.
- New game mode is scheduled (unsure what it means)
- For 360 it will be prepared in a different form

Seems like there's at least a new mode.

And too big for DLC? How they plan to put it on 360? (it's probably bullshit, since the GTA4 DLC chapters are pretty big)

 

[Nisa65]

Popn'music for PSP is great news but I have to wonder what the fuck Konami are up to not releasing the next PS2 version. I hope the PSP version is more like DJ Max and not the shitty dumbed down Wii version.

 

[Miburou]

cvxfreak (or anyone else): where do you find Famitsu so early? I can only find it on Thursday at combinis and Bic Camera. (granted I'm only here for a very short while)

 

[ElectricThunder]

Woo hoo for Shiren 4 DS! As DS stuff is cheaper to do than Wii stuff...I hope this adds extra oomph impetus for Atlus to bring over this and Shiren DS 2!

Any justifications on Valhalla Knights: Eldar Saga scores? :stands by his pre-order from yesterday:

 

[NeoZylom]

Will they include the Versus DLC in RE5 Alternate Edition?

 

[Princess Skittles]

SHIREN 4.

Love.

 

[Cat in the Hat]

SHIREN 4.

Love.

!!!!!!!!!!

DS?!

Edit: nevermind just seen it.

This is like the greatest news of all time.

I don't think the Wii numbers were great when compared with the last PS2 games so my guess would be that Konami decided to move the series from PS2 to Wii but are now trying the series on PSP to see how sales are there.
I was so close to buying the Wii one but held off after the reports of the motion controls being iffy, so if the PSP one plays anything like DJ Max, I'll be thrilled

 

[rpmurphy]

Shiren 4, awesome!

I hope 3 sells well enough here for it to come here...

 

[cvxfreak]

Will they include the Versus DLC in RE5 Alternate Edition?

Yes.

 

[ScrabbleBanshee]

did you start gaming when the wii got released? it's a naming convention for capcom's fighting games expansions.

I think I recall the "Super" started getting added with the Street Fighter 2 release on SNES - when it was fashionable to insert "Super" to the beginning of every SNES game title.

EDIT: I remember wrong.

 

[chandoog]

Alternate Edition scans

HOLY FUCKING CRAP !

 

[Segata Sanshiro]

I know you said usually but that still doesn't forgive Alpha 2 for being shit.

Thankfully Alpha 3 is best all time. All time!

Alpha 3 would be the 2nd revision of the Alpha series. Unless we count Gold, I guess.

Look at it this way:

SFII
SFII CE (first revision)
SFII Turbo (second revision)

(check)

Darkstalkers
Night Warriors (first revision)
Darkstalkers 3 (second revision)

(check)

X-Men: CotA
Marvel Super Heroes (first revision)
X-Men vs Street Fighter (second revision)

(check)

Marvel vs Street Fighter
Marvel vs Capcom (first revision)
Marvel vs Capcom 2 (second revision)

(check)

SFA
SFA 2 (first revision)
SFA 3 (second revision)

(check)

SF3
SF3: Double Impact (first revision)
SF3: Third Strike (second revision)

(check and mate)

 

[Miburou]

Wow, the pics of RE5 AE look really good. Glad I bought the 360 version, so I can get this as DLC, as I have little interest in the PS3 wand (at least for the time being).

 

[red shoe paul]

This is going to be the best game EVER.
This is going to be the best game EVER.

Eh, the could've showed other characters instead..

 

[JustAnotherOtaku]

Just seen the Kamen Rider W scans. Looks good! Was gonna get Climax Heroes on PS2 but I think I'll hold off and buy this instead
Now gimme a Sentai game quick!

 

[jon bones]

SSFIV will be full of love

I hope Shiren 4 DS comes to America!

 

[PuppetMaster]

My faith in Capgod has been shaken today.

First this RE5 extended edition and now this super street fighter milking. They are both seriously taking advantage of fans who already paid full price to play their game the first time it came out.

I want to believe in you Capgod!

 

[Fersis]

No KOFXII Black info ?
;__;

 

[A Twisty Fluken]

I know you said usually but that still doesn't forgive Alpha 2 for being shit.

What is the meaning of this insanity? Alpha 2 Gold is my favorite Capcom fighter pretty much ever.

Though really, I'm biased, I could never get over Alpha 3's music. The announcer did eventually grow on me.

Capcom releasing new editions of old Resident Evil and Street Fighter!? What has this world come to...

Crap, is it Tuesday? I forgot you had the day shift today.

/clocks out

 

[Teasel]

ahahahahah i'm so happy for the new shiren announcement

 

[Seraphis Cain]

You know, it's funny. I totally called this happening when Climax Heroes came out and turned out to be a rushed, blatantly unfinished crapfest.

Bandai rushes the game out the door to coincide with the release of All Riders vs DaiShocker, keeps the game in development, and releases the finished version for the Wii in time for the W/Decade crossover movie, of course throwing in W to keep things relevant.

Nice to see monsters like the Worms and Dopants in the game, too. Hopefully we get some more Riders as well. I mean, the Dragon Knight game is using the Climax Heroes engine, so they have models and moves done for all the Ryuki Riders. Why not throw in Knight, or say, Zolda?

sigh..why only the REmake got the game modes right ? i wanna play one dangerous zombie in re 5..

Other than that the list does look pretty impressive. Third time really is the charm!
