Re: Games Beaten 2012

Virtua Fighter 5: Final Showdown - PS3 *new* Just wondering, how do you beat VF5...? This looks like a really cool thread. I'm a bit late but I'll see if I can remember what I've done so far this year: Cogs - Mac Sonic Generations - PS3 Ico & Shadow of the Colossus Collection - PS3 Sonic Unleas...

Re: Fight Choreography video

Wow, that's actually totally bad ass.

That would really make for a great VF5 Final Showdown TV ad.

Re: Open World Sonic Game

Oh there will always be an outrage at whatever Sega, or quite frankly every business ever, especially in the video game industry. I just get the feeling that if they released a sonic game that contended for one of the best games of all time like the Genesis titles did, then most would shut up and g...

Re: Video Game "Look what I found"

I was thinking of making a thread for this massive haul I'm trekking back from Japan with, but I noticed this thread and thought it might be a better place for it. If I'm wrong, I hope the moderators will at least take pity on me. ... Also, if anyone was scratching his head at the picture with thre...

Re: Don't you love reading about how a game evolved?

the recent episode with the compose for Journey (have you played Journey?) was excellent. Ah, I haven't. I can't play it for various reasons although I VERY much want to. I'm sure I could get some enjoyment out of the podcast even without having played the game, though. Except it might just make me...

Re: Don't you love reading about how a game evolved?

awesome. I love stuff like this. You should listen to the podcast Top Score with Emily Reese, pierrot. Each episode she interviews various game composers and plays clips of their work. Generally very insightful. Cool, I'll look into it. From the titles alone, '8 and 16-bit music' sounds like it sho...

Re: Don't you love reading about how a game evolved?

I don't know if I'll be shunned for this because it's an interview with a video game music composer, but I was reading it a while back. It's Miki Higashino, and before reading the article I had only really known her from the first two Gensou Suikoden titles, but I found out that she also did the mus...

Re: Open World Sonic Game

Oh and Sega releases a trilogy of horrible mythological games that were horrible. They're not afraid of controversy, just what will make them a buck any more. I just meant that even if Sega did a decent job on the game there would still be controversy among fans as to whether it's actually worthy o...

Re: Will Sega ever tap their classic series in a big way?

It's kind of funny how he's gleefully taking jabs at it from the sidelines, even saying the fan produced Sonic 2 HD is looking better than Sonic 4. I know I'd do the same if I had been the lead programmer on one of the greatest series of games on a console only to have it pissed on by the company a...

Re: Video Game "Look what I found"

I bought a good portion of it in Akihabara, yes. Some of the best deals I actually got on Amazon JP, though.

The one thing I'll probably regret not being able to get is the Sega Saturn Virtua Stick Pro that I saw in Ikebukuro for about $200. Maybe one day....
