I expect that these microtransactions will be for "characters"(like reskins, clones, etc). No way would Capcom actually charge people for brand new characters.
It's still hilariously idiotic and completely the wrong way to go about with microtransactions.

Turn-based SRPG with mechs. Great stuff.

You guys should do a cover story on City of Metronome for massive production damage.skip said:

Since it's 3D, and ostensibly easier to replace character models, they'll probably nickel and dime SF3 fans for remeshed/reskined SF3 characters.FoxSpirit said:
Remy skin for Guile? 400 MS Points confirmed.

Yeah Crispin has explained his viewpoint in detail on the 1up show, 1up yours and in his review. I think he showed quite clearly why he gave the game the score he did and I can definitely understand his complaints. Clearly the other EGM reviewers think a bit differently, but there's the advantage of the EGM system.

Honestly, NiGHTS scored way better than I thought it would...Might still be worth checking out after all.

bummer to hear SFIII advancements have been more or less left behind.

Street Fighter 4 sounds like an abortion.

So your implication is that the game part of Assassin's Creed was torture to get through? I guess I just don't see how the overall package could be rated so low. I find the gameplay to be fun, and while I agree that it's repetetive under the default settings, it can definitely be tweaked to make the game much more immersive, which significantly reduces the feeling of tediousness. I honestly thought it was jusy abover average when I was playing with the GPS, but it was bumped up to great after reading the thread on GAF and removing the GPS and ditching the map.
Needless to say, I have my own theories on why they chose to include those as the default settings, and it has a direct correlation to the sales of the game being so high.

When I said, "slickly made" I wasn't just talking about the visuals, I was talking about the control and basic design.
If the game runs into problems down the road, that might lower the score, but with so many average/buggy license games getting 6's or 7's these days, the problems later on in assassins creed must be devistating for it to score this low.
Not saying everybody would have to agree with my opinion, and I haven't played long enough to be positive, but I can't imagine a game that well made could end up being a 4.5.
Just running around that beautiful world and climbing shit is almost worthy of an 8 for me, even if it is draped over repetitive missions.

That's cute that you would say that.
Why does this remind me of P Diddy closing down the studio on "The Band"?
This
is
bullshit. What a huge step back for the franchise, and rather pointless since they're giving us an HD version of SSFII Turbo next year anyway.
Interesting.
When you look at totaled AC1 sales (12m+ worldwide fwiw) killing the sequel due to fan generated content honestly doesn't make much sense. If anything, they'd limit user options or take out Mii integration, not kill the game entirely.No6 said:
Again, I doubt this was (a) a franchise cancellation or (b) a JP team cancellation. If anything, it sounds like a western team being reprimanded for getting "out of line" with NCL protocol... otherwise EGM probably wouldn't even know about it in the first place.

I agree with the 4.5, and I'm looking forward to reading the text behind the score. Assassin's Creed holds your hand for far too long and takes hours to get started. Once the game actually begins and you're not required to walk around a lab waiting for other people to have a conversation, the stealth elements are just stupid (He's running around! Kill him!) and it becomes a follow-the-arrow quest of mundane proportions.

What bugs me the most about SF4 is that in some ways it doesn't feel like a new game. If all Capcom is going for is "SF2 with a greater emphasis on offense" then why bother calling it SF4?
SF3 was great because of how different it was. At the time I figured if SF4 was to ever happen it would go in a completely different direction and be nothing like Capcom's prior games.
Seems it's not to be.

Exactly. Street Fighter has always been really good at making their different spin-offs/sequels completely unique. Even a novice can tell the difference between Street Fighter II, Alpha, Vs. and III. I hope IV is more interesting than the original information leads me to believe.

"Even though you and I may have enjoyed the parries in SF 3, we're fighting game maniacs. SF 3 wasn't that popular, so a lot of players aren't really familiar with that system, and that might present an unnecessary hurfle for players who haven't been into fighters for a while"
Seeing Assassin's Creed getting a 7, 6, and 4.5 actually makes me appreciated Gamespot selling out. I mean at least GS had an excuse for not giving the game an amazing score (e.g. Ubisoft didn't pay them enough.) EGM's got no excuse -- the game is NOT a 4.5 by any stretch of the imagination... I can't imagine what could have caused the person to temporarily lose their mind (and reason.) Like the 7s were controversial, but 4.5 is a slap in the face, especially when EGM so loosely throws around much higher score to much crappier games.
Who scored it? I want names to avoid (and make fun of.)

Nintendo didn't cancel AC..
If anything wasn't going the way they wanted on such a close project, they'd simply force the change. The developers work for them, not against them.
Which also makes it difficult to believe that this would happen among any of their first party studios...but if it were to happen, it wouldn't be with any of the internal japanese teams, I'm sure.
