SF IV Info:

-Producer is Yoshinori Ono, who worked on SF Alpha, SF III, and oversaw Capcom Fighting Revolution

-Ono wants it to be the "second coming" of SF II. Wants it to feel like "homecoming" for SF II fans.

-Online play is planned with potential for microtransactions such as new characters and stages

-The look is not really similiar to the teaser trailer. A "cartoon-shaded style that manages to evoke SF II reimagined in 3d"

- runs in 60FPS

- Gameplay sticking with 2D- Ono wants to "preserve the strategic nature of SF II"

-camera doesn't budge

- Trying to get "as many SFII characters in as possible"

- Takes place after SFII Turbo and before SF III

-Controls are traditional- "in its current early state, the game feels remarkably close to Super SFII Turbo"

- Game is more aggressive- more about attacking than defending. Many of the SF III and Alpha gameplay systems have been scrapped.

- Producer says they haven't decided what platforms or even if there will be an arcade version. Version Shane played was running on a P.C

- Ono suggests Capcom could make a PS2 or DS version if "they deem the market suitable"

-Ono not enthusiastic about making it an exclusive- wants to get it out on as many platforms as possible

[HomerSimpson-Man]

Assassin's Creed- 7,6, 4.5

WTF?!

 

[MassiveAttack]

A 4.5 for AC???

Oh dear.

 

[dawnXjustice]

Any new details on the SFIV cover story?

 

[Zombie James]

Assassin's Creed- 7,6, 4.5

 

[SPEA]

4.5? Whaaa?

Also, SFIV please.

 

[Visualante]

Rumours please.

MX vs. ATV- 6, 7, 5

MotorStorm safe to ride another day.

 

[perfectchaos007]

Nice scores for NiGHTS

 

[Archie]

Trauma Center: New Blood is underscored, imo. Granted, it is a very niche game, but a 4? That's just silly.

 

[FFChris]

Galaxy, wow! Whoever gave it a 9.5 though is a brave guy!

Great Rockband scores too.

 

[Loudninja]

Not many great scores

 

[orio7]

Rumors?

And those AC scores are stupid.

 

[skip]

AC - Donahoe (7), me (6), Crispin (4.5)

 

[dawnXjustice]

I remember someone on a 1up podcast saying that he was giving AC "the lowest score in the industry", Forgot who he is at the moment :lol

 

[Captain Glanton]

RE:UC- 7.5,7.5, 6

I desperately wish this had been a real game. FU, Capcom.

 

[vala]

Street Fighter 4 info , please!!!

 

[Cardon]

Wow at the 4.5 for AC. To me the game has its fair share of issues but that seems to be a bit too low.

 

[dawnXjustice]

9.5's from Parish correct? So Shoe and Shane came thru with 10s.

 

[Zombie James]

Quick with the Street Fighter!

 

[Grecco]

Ouch at those RE, Nights and AC scores.

 

[Lakitu]

nm

 

[MisterHero]

Ocarina's not out of the woods just yet!

Go Mario Go!

EGM is retarded for giving AC a 4.5 and less than 6 average.
It may not be GOY but it's still a quality game deserving of an 8.

 

[jarrod]

Lolz, AC = SCL!

 

[schuelma]

Give me a few minutes on the SF stuff. I should be studying for my law school exam :lol

 

[Zombie James]

Another 10 from Shoe...

 

[jj984jj]

Yeah, EGM is about as good as Famitsu for reviews, and I already know how good most of these games are. Where are the rumors? That's all EGM is good for.

Edit: TY! OP for adding them so soon!

 

[SPEA]

Cmon Crispin. A 4.5? Really?

 

[fatigues_gasolini]

I watched my brother play AC last night for a few hours, and it didnt seem like the terrible game everyone says it is. It seems sorta like ******, where you are methodically setting up for the kill. I might have to pick it up, hoping the PS3 bugs are ironed out.

 

[Visualante]

Nintendo cancelled 1st party game because developers wanted to let players customize their Mii's

:lol :lol

 

[perfectchaos007]

Lolz, AC = SCL!

So basically you made a great observation.

 

[dawnXjustice]

Ouch at that Crystal Bearers rumor

Would explain the lack of media and information since the initial movie reveal

 

[medze]

Those AC scores almost made me cry...

Sure the game is repetitive but 4.5... damn

 

[h3ro]

We need the SF IV info... STAT!!!

 

[Darkman M]

Ouch at those RE, Nights and AC scores.

Im surprised Nights scored that high to be honest.:lol

 

[ethelred]

Exclusive Front Mission heading to 360

Yum. I'm fully on board this. Best thing of all, there's no possible way a Front Mission game could be released on the 360 of all consoles and not get localized. Hopefully it's a real Front Mission game, though, and not a Armored Core-styled spinoff or a FMO game.

FF:CC Crystal Bearers "appears to be in trouble"

No shit.

 

[XiaNaphryz]

SC Legends- 6,7, 4.5
Assassin's Creed- 7,6, 4.5

Wow, same scores for both?

 

[TheDuce22]

I would rank Assasins Creed no lower than an 8. Its a very good game.

 

[PantherLotus]

plz clarify rumors! 'cause those fucking suck.

Rumors

[djtiesto]

Hope the 360 Front Mission comes to fruition... Sucks to hear about Crystal Bearers, definitely one of the better-looking Wii titles.

 

[Roxas]

FFCC "in trouble"? What does that mean?

 

[jarrod]

So basically you made a great observation.

It's about as thoughtful as EGM reviews deserve. :lol


Rumors on the other hand... FMO2 I take it?

 

[bengraven]

Oh God, please don't let this be Animal Crossing. Not only am I an AC freak, but I just got the girlfriend addicted to it hardcore.

Real Front Mission or bust.

[Firestorm]

Um. There's no way in hell Nintendo would cancel one of their biggest franchises in Japan.

 

[Stumpokapow]

No shit.

What, you mean it's abnormal for a game to be announced as a launch-window title, disappear for a year, show up as a completely different game with no information available, disappear for another year, and still have no information, projected release date, completion percentage, or real-time media released? Whachoo talkin' about?
