SilverStar

*drags thread from the pit* So, now that this game has been out officially for awhile, and is generally praised as being a godly game.. Anyone know a good place to download custom maps, yet? It's somewhat annoying to only be able to download them by connecting to custom servers. A quick google search hasn't turned up anything worthwhile, so I'm just wondering if there's anywhere in particular I should be keeping an eye on, to get a peek at the new maps and mods being developed, even before Steam releases their own map editor tool for the game.

I guess when the most compelling feature of a system sold at such a heavy loss is the purchase of old games, it doesn't do so well for convincing people to buy the new stuff, nor is it very good from a profit standpoint when the games with huge budgets are being usurped by last gen games, in two ways.

No, the WiiWare FFCC game is going to be different than the one they're releasing on disk. And yes, they fucking need more storage now. And to think.. they still have E For All where they'll have 4 days, uncontested.

It's a guideline and nothing more. MPAA and ESRB are unable to make them into laws, because that would break some sort of constitutional right or something. However, the individual stores have the right to refuse, as part of their terms of service.

This is the first I've at all heard about these things. Which is strange, because usually they at least pop up on Kotaku before they're even "official." Kinda like the 3 newer variations of the wrist strap(thicker string, rounded cap, lock clip). To be honest.. ugly as fuck. But I ordered one anyway.

Don't forget. He's been using his own son in "stings" against stores, trying to "prove" that kids can go in and buy M-rated games(BioShock and Halo 3). Of course, he's giving his kid the money, and the permission, to go buy the games. So there's honestly nothing at all wrong with it.

What if that exclusive "duel mode" is actually online, and can be enhanced beyond just 2 players?

Alright. It's official. I will need to get Smash Bros, now. Wi-Fi has been confirmed officially.

Don't act so excited. People will start wondering.

Did you notice the BIOSv3.0 just before the Wii Format? And how it was trying to delete the overrun part, just after the danger warning.

Adam was her superior in the military, before she became a Hunter. After his death, his brain was uploaded into a computer, which was then loaded into Samus' new gunship, from Fusion. What isn't revealed, is who Adam is talking with during that one cutscene, in Fusion. A shadowed figure who Adam seems to be taking orders from. When you consider that Samus' Varia suit isn't entirely unique, because it can be stored as data and recalled on command(as seen through a couple cutscenes in Corruption, including at the very start of the game), and the amount of cloning research going on by Fusion(between the frozen Ridley clone, and all the Metroids), I would honestly expect that in whatever game follows Fusion, will wind up with the player playing the "evil" Samus, with the GF having created a clone of her, without any of the memories of the actions during Fusion.

Maybe it's possible there -was- a Kraid-like creature, as one of the unidentified, failed experiments that litters the homeworld?

There's still the space pirates, the end of Prime suggested some sort of post-prime continuation, and MP3 sold over 200 thousand units in 3 days, without more than a lick of advertising from Nintendo. So, there's probably one -last- game in the series, yet to come. A full and proper Metroid 5. Hell.. given the whole Ridley affair from Fusion, I wouldn't be too surprised if Samus had to fight against a full clone of herself, who doesn't realize just what's going on, and who thinks that YOU are some sort of space pirate clone of her.

Wow. People liked me? Why the fuck didn't anyone tell me this sooner?

You mean cheap like Nintendo/Retro, for not fucking putting this kind of shit into the game?

Maybe they should have made it a PSN game? then people might not feel so heavily shafted, spending 60 bucks for their blue rays and cells to get a pretty screensaver workout?

I.. Ow. Heavenly Sword, a game with huge production values, a game that was even advertised with a few seconds of screen time in Heroes.. is a game you can beat in one or two sittings? Your first time through? What's wrong? Did they sink so much money into trying to hand craft a AAA quality title, that they ran out of money to finish the project?

I think your ass is too familiar with the stick, at this point. By what I see, the past few pages have been pretty much just immature joking. Except the stuff from you, because you're actually taking it seriously. So, yeah. chill, dood. Don't want a heart attack and wind up a prinny, do ya?

Shh. that's what the entire OS market is about. And MS wants to make sure no one can rip off what they ripped off!

Except Sonic 3, where they actually started doing different things. And S3&K, where they added even more things to do, instead of just running across the stage.

Neither. S3&K isn't up there yet. Only the vanilla Sonic 3.

Even for the same market, there's nothing a $600 PS3 can offer that the $399 X360 doesn't already do, often better. And that is, to play games. For all the other features the PS3 has, I have a PC. Which does it all better. So, PS3 is X360 with a 200 dollar premium, and 10% of the content.

Except that it was sent back for an extra 6 months of work and still came out as being the laughable gimmick everyone thought Wii would have been.

Curse of the Dragon. the only good dragon-centric games to be released in anything close to recent history, have been the earlier Spyro games, and the Panzer Dragoon saga. Anything else that tries it, fails. Miserably. Yeah, I know. Plus, I wouldn't try advertising PS3 with games like PGR3 or Halo 3. Too bad Sony just doesn't seem able to get their advertising.. or even just their focus, done anything sane, these days.

Maybe they should focus more on everything but the gameplay "experience" for PS3 games, and try to rebrand it to fit in with the set-top-box ideas? Go for a TiVo idea, but with the ability to do a LOT more. Record your shows, while using a fully functioning, fully featured Linux OS, or record while watching a DVD or BluRay movie, so you don't miss out on your favorite program. Or, if they were to do something so you could record your program while actually playing a game.. that might earn them some good cred, there.
