I've seen this video many times, but this is the first I've seen it set to a Street Fighter theme.

Mon Dieu, I just received a diplomatic dispatch that the entire British Empire has joined the forces of the Axis to declare war on you! I was counting on the help of the English to help me fight off the Nazi tanks, and now they're on the same side!! WHAT DID YOU DO WHAT DID YOU DO WHAT DID YOU DO WHAT DID YOU DO WHAT DID YOU DO WHAT DID YOU DO WHAT DID YOU DO WHAT DID YOU DO WHAT DID YOU DO WHAT DID YOU DO???????

They did it with Assassin's Creed too! How strange. The outfits look so out of place

Well it's official GAME are officially into administration. Who knows what happens here but hey, one store is at least going out on a classy, 'not at all decieving the customer in any way' high by stocking Mass Effect 3......oh wait......

Look at the prices though. £34.99 for Saints Row III still? No wonder they struggled.

It may not go in the same direction I would have liked, but Max Payne 3 does look pretty cool at this point.

got blacklight: tango down the other day...it's alright, nothing special tho

And with that, I've cleared Bastion on New Game +, and getting every achievement in the process. Again, can't stress enough how incredible that game is, you should all play it. *ENDING SPOILER* I was going to leave Zulf behind on this playthrough, but I just couldn't do it.

Here's the craziest rumour I've heard in a while, it looks like Prey 2, the game that had everyone talking about it when they saw it, is rumoured to be cancelled. When Bethesda was asked they simply replied "No comment". More news next week apparently.

nooooooooo Prey 2 looked freaking amazing too. Looked like it could be the next sleeper great game a la Arkham Asylum.

They better not cancel it.

^ On that note

Had to laugh at the Giant Bomb quick look for Yakuza : Dead Souls when the first thing that was said was

"I've never played a Yakuza game before.."

getting gotham city imposters for xbox - and i'll buy some microsoft point cards for my friends so they can get it too

(i'm already like level 30 in the game on ps3, but i'm the only one out of all my friends who has a ps3

)

EDIT: not sure if it was because of the servers, but the game seems alot more laggy than on ps3 (then again, sometimes the servers crap out during mw3 so i'm hoping it's something along those lines...but there was one guy who was level 1003 wtf )

Tuffty · « **Reply #1894 on:** March 29, 2012, 12:33:35 AM »

Currently, with everyone shitting on Bioware and EA for piecemealing and withholding certain elements of ME3 as paid DLC (and deservedly so in some cases), it's nice to see CD Projekt go the extra mile for The Witcher 2 Enhanced Edition that's coming to the consoles. A straight port of the original, plus all the DLC that the PC version has received as well as all new quests, characters, cutscenes, locations, UI changes made for the console version. All of it free. It's an incredibly generous effort that they didn't have to do and it's a business practice I'm all behind supporting. I've said it enough times already but man, I can't wait for April 17th.

coachie · « **Reply #1895 on:** March 30, 2012, 11:31:14 PM »

Have I mentioned how I can't wait for this game?

I heard about a complete closure a few days ago, but with this report of Sega of America being all but almost closed down I can't help but be really sad about all this, not only because of the games being possibly cancelled internationally, but if the possible cancellation of any Shenmue HD re-release?

Also I wouldn't panic right away, as this may not apply to digital releases, and Jet Set Radio HD is probably already finished and will still come out, VF5:FS is also finished (I saw people playing it, lol) so you never know.

Also I think I heard Sega Europe is handling the digital distribution, and historically Sega Europe has always performed better and even released many games that never even came out in the US, dating all the way back to the Dreamcast days & Saturn days before that.
While this announcement does include Europe, I hope it's not too drastically affected by Sega of America's failures.
I have hated SoA for their bad....everything for a long time now, and I'm honestly surprised this hasn't happened sooner with the way they do business.

Of course I know not everything is SoA's fault, like for example Sony cockblocked Sega's SEGA AGES PS2 collections because they were 2D games (which also really screwed a lot of other people out of lots of great PS2 games from lots of different companies for a LONG time) but the descisions SoA make tickle down to Sega Europe, which can cause us problems.

I'm just glad the most recent Yakuza game came out before this all happened, or it might never ever have come out since SoA was handling it.

Tuffty · « **Reply #1897 on:** March 31, 2012, 07:26:04 PM »

Ah VF5:FS. Sounds so good. Though I am a little bit concerned about hearing that there will be 10,000 customisable items available for DLC. They've also said that if a player is using items from a DLC pack which you don't have, you won't be able to see it. Obviously a cut in content is necessary if you're doing a digital release otherwise the game will be massive to download, but I hope they have decided to leave at least a substantial number in there for Quest mode which still offers a fine amount of customisation.

pikapikapika · « **Reply #1898 on:** March 31, 2012, 09:26:03 PM »

Well that's kind of the whole point, the arcade versions of all 5 games have had many many more customization items, not only that, they have special intros that you can customise for your characters at the start of each fight while it is loading up, which is really cool and I'm sad they took it out of the console version of 5

Hopefully they have it in this version.

It's probably fair enough that the DLC items cost money when in the arcade, I think it costs money to add new things to your game card when playing, but they'll be in big packs, surely, so if you get one the chances are you'll see stuff from others.

It might be unlikely but I'd love the Nendroids from the arcade version, so f'ing cool hahaha

Tuffty · « **Reply #1899 on:** March 31, 2012, 10:20:50 PM »

I'm sure they will be massive packs, I just hope they don't cost too much.
