Magical Vacation looks great... I hope there are some FFIII screens though. We've barely seen any and it's supposed to be due in July?

Yay new ace combat for PSP 
Great news
Great newsneo2046 said:have you played Culdcept before?
honestly, even the game in 2D will not hurt the gameplay of the game
it is an awesome card game
Of course I have. That's not the point though, clearly MS secured it as an Xbox360 exclusive hoping to move the console in Japan. This isn't going to help.

duckroll said:Maybe like how Tales of the Tempest's mode will work? A mini-lobby you can invite 3 other friends into to do special multiplayer only quests? Maybe!
Hopefully!
Tales is an action RPG, it is easier to do seperate players in that. FFIII is turned based won't it be a bit hard to do turned based co-op?
My guess? FFCC was annouced for DS then never showed up. I am predicting FFIII's online multiplayer mode is a FFCC type of game and FFCC DS became a part of FFIII.

If so I doubt it will allow leveling up much like Pokemon does not in vs. mode. Going online and constantly battling could easily bump up the teams level beyond what the game expects the user to have at that point in the story making the main game kind of cheap since you could walk right through it.jarrod said:

Definitely doesn't make things up as he goes along.

Wouldn't it be something cool if only certain items randomly generated in certain games?
Like how some versions of Pokemon have unique Pokemon only to their versions, but this was done on a massive scale, with rare items?
That way, to 100% the game, you would *HAVE* to log on to Wi Fi and trade with other players. Hell, you could put up your uniques in an Arena and battle for posession of rare/unique prizes, contest over who can collect/win the most prizes or honor...
Man, that would be some goodtimes.

must....have....western....release....Culdcept was one of my favorite games from last gen and if it doesn't come out to the U.S. i'll be sad
As far as graphics go...the PS2 was pretty much sprite based, so seeing these screen shots was pretty shocking. It looks so different :O 4 characters = I hope there are lots of unlockable ones.....which there probably are. iirc there were only a few unlockable characters in the begging of the PS2 one too. I want this game DENGEKI: New Scores:
-Okami (PS2, Capcom):
90 / 90 / 90 / 90
-King of Fighters: Maximum Impact 2 (PS2, SNK Playmore):
85 / 90 / 85 / 85
-Winning Eleven 10 (PS2, Konami):
100 / 90 / 100 / 95
-Rengoku 2: The Stairway to H.E.A.V.E.N (PSP, Konami):
85 / 75 / 80 / 75
-Shinseiki Evangelion 2: Tsukurareshi Sekai - Another Cases (PSP, Bandai):
85 / 75 / 80 /75
Didn't think it was worth making a new topic, so I'm throwing them here...

ioi said:Thanks Duckroll, much appreciated.
Is there any chance that someone could start posting Famitsu numbers when they come out instead of having to wait over a week until the website is updated??
Sure, it's not too much effort. Except sometimes the titles are hard to figure out since the people that post them use ultra-shortforms. This week was easy though.
I'll just translate the next list when there's another Famitsu list next week. Might take a bit longer if you want accurate game titles though. This one was done in like 2 minutes. :lol

Yeah it is. Hopefully they bring it to the US too, it'll be nice to play with english speaking people over Live.

Awesome, thanks a lot. I'm not too fussed about the names, can figure most of them out and we'll have already had the Media Create list a few days earlier and people tend to be good at getting the full names for that so it should be fairly easy to work out.
Brain shit, english shit, pokemon shit will do :lol

It's worth noting that early on Final Fantasy X was supposed to use PlayOnline, too. Anyone remember what that was supposed to actually do? I did a bit of searching, but I find things like this story that saysChris Michael said:

Gamefront writes Ace Combat X: Skies of Deception is already done to 80%, yet the release is in autumn??
Primarily, it was to allow players to access a seamless in-game guide -- sort of like what FFIX had via the website, only accessible through a "PlayOnline" option on the game's menu system. There's actually a video of this in action floating around the net, where the player is controlling Tidus (in what became the Calm Lands), opens up the menu and connects to PlayOnline (via the bottom-most option, IIRC), and a map pops up with markers and notes about things found within the area, like a mini-bestiary and such.JoshuaJSlone said:
I believe it was also going to offer a few other things, like a chat option to share strategies and such, also while in-game... which would actually be rather neat. It's really a shame that it, and a lot of their other POL ideas (anybody else remember FFXI Arcade?
), fell through so early on, as there was some pretty unique stuff in the pipeline for the service. :\EDIT: Here's a shakeycam version of it ("FFX Trailer from Square Millennium"): http://media.ps2.ign.com/media/014/014008/vids_35.html
It's actually a lot more interesting than I remembered, as there are lot more differences than just the POL stuff, when compared to the final game -- seamless world, free-roaming camera, brown-haired Tidus, completely different logo, slightly different art style for locales (maybe using Naora's work still?). Interesting stuff.

Seemed like It was also in 60fps...
I want to hope at least two of those characters are now female, and the two in the back kind of look like they are, but I don't dare dream.Jonnyram said:
Though it's S-E's loss if they aren't. No female characters = no sale.

It had better come here.
They actually did turn-based co-op with FFVI.Cheebs said:
It sucked, though, but maybe that has to do with the fact that you were always sitting next to the other player and could work out a cohesive strategy. Although, yeah, even if they fixed that, I could see how it would be a pretty lame online experience...
