Armored Core: For Answer
(PS3&Xbox360 / From Software / 08-3)
* Giant weapon "Arms Fort" is introduced, with a size of around 7km. To attack it, you need to wipe out the parts on the edges before infiltrating and destroying the core. There's many different methods to do this and take one down.
* Online coop in mission play.
* Easy mode added.

I'll buy it so long as they fix the controls from 4, which is probably too much to ask of From Software.

 

[SunkisTim535]

You know, it isn't like the original NiGHTS burned up the review charts. Maybe you should wait to play it before bitching out Sega on Famitsu's say so.

True too. I remember the average review for the original being in the 7-8/10 range.

A sub-30 from Famitsu for a high-profile Sega game is pretty bad. Let's not pretend that anything less than an 8 average or so for any game isn't a bad score.

It's Fire.

No, it says "file". Kingdom Under File.

B-bu-but, my nostalgia. :-(

Unless you're Famitsu in which case you gave it 8s and 9s.

Probably. I don't keep up with SRW names.

And no matter which setup I used my hands ached after 15 mins of play. Maybe it's just my problem I don't know.

Phantasy Star Portable (PSP/Sega/2008)

Whoa, this could be pretty awesome, if it's the origin...

* Based on PSU and its expansion, with added missions and story.

Nevermind.

 

[duckroll]

Okay, the news is pretty much wrapped up. Another worthless issue of Famitsu. :lol

 

[Y2Kev]

The game that did worse than SCL must be like liquid ass.

 

[Defuser]

Why do Sega keep churning PSU?
If Sega thinks it could sell like Monster Hunter on the go,it's a bad idea.

I don't even know SRW. But it looked similar to "Gespenst", which is German for "ghost". Well, a special kind of ghost, but I guess that's not really interesting...

Umm 29/40 isn't bad for a game, its when you get under 20 when games are crappy =P

 

[Sharp]

I'm pretty sure getting under 20 in Famitsu also requires moneyhats.

 

[pilonv1]

For everyone saying 29 isn't bad, remeber Dirge of Cerebus got 27.

Also I can't believe how long it took SEGA to get PSO on PSP. Is it online or just local multiplayer?

 

[madara]

Thank you Sega, for making Phantasy Star 1,2 and 4 and then rubbing salt in my bleeding wounds ever year you make more of those lame PS mmo games instead of a real one.

 

[vanguardian1]

Its not PSO though, PSU. :lol

And its only local multiplayer. :lol

They'd have to downgrade AC4 a lot to get it running on Wii.

P.S. Isn't the title referring to the number 4 instead of the word For? Shouldn't it be Armored Core 4: Answer?

Onechan-bara? But I assume that would be dated by now.

Obviously not since they already announced that, it's probably Dragon Blade 2 or some crap like that.

 

[sixteen-bit]

I wish PSP was a port of PSO instead of PSU

 

[pilonv1]

I made the exact same sound.

I was kinda hoping for one considering that I'll be a Wii-only user for a few years more at least, and have no chance of getting (real) broadband anytime soon. I love the AC series but it's not enough to make me buy a console (not to mention that I'd have to look for a replacement controller for the 360 if I bought one of them, I still use the d-pad in AC games personally).

Devil May Cry 4 (PS3&360/Capcom/08-1-31)
* Details on the the hellish device that infinitely spawns exploding swords, "Unlimited Sword Lucifer".
Its swords can be used as weapons or as traps that hang in the air.
* Details on a new one-winged demon swordsman enemy.
"A demon swordsman with a single beautiful wing. His left hand forged into a shield, he's effective at riposting attacks.

I'd buy DMC4 if Dante actually goes "I am the bone of my blood..." when he uses this.

Do we know anything about [IF's maid game]? Is it a real game, a cleaning simulation, or something totally different?

No detail given as of yet. Given that it's a sentai parody, it's probably a very bad real game.

My "Oh ho aren't we clever punning in English!" sense tells me it's both.

Nights review
* Doesn't really take advantage of the Wii remote, though this kinda makes sense.
* Good replay value. Gardening mode makes for an enjoyable apres-jeux.
* Controls are unique. A little TOO unique.
* Bosses tend to have the enjoyable gimmick of calling out their mooks for battles
* You have to restart the stage if you die.
* Human missions are a change of pace, but kinda distracting.
* Heartlifting good-feeling stuff just like the previous game.
* Can't skip realtime cutscenes.
* As a fan of the previous game, some of the new mission types may as well have not been added

Don't get your hopes up It's their near-weekly FF column.
