^ Nice.

Sonic 4 is being reworked and its coming out good. The crappy minecart level has been replaced by this:

 It looks good . . .  but looks can be deceiving. I do hope it turns out well.

Nintendo can eat shit for the next few years and still be rolling in money.

They have been for years.

And Ubisoft are doing the shovelling.

PSP story - touch controls on the back -- crazy Sony.

PSP 3000 form factor, not a slider screen like the Go. No UMD - flash media instead.

Thoughts anyone?  Three sources, so this goes pass the rumor territory.

When you say flash media you mean like a flash hard drive or memory stick/SD card right? Not as in cartridge based games.

PSP2 touch controls on the back is a pretty interesting idea. Amazing that they thought that one up all by themselves.

I think the story is confused. On the one hand its suggested the touch controls are on the back of the unit, which makes no sense. Other stories I've read suggested that it meant behind the screen, i.e just a touch screen. Then some have said its like a touch pad like control beneath the screen.

I'm still worried about the 3DS. Most games that used touch controls well had the action on the same screen. If the whole system is about 3D which an only be done on the top screen, touch controls are going be more like using a mouse than anything else.

Any updates on your games finished list Aspro? Cause I will catch up to you and destroy you.

What's changed? Did you get a new console or repair?

Here's a link of my completed games:

I think I'm at 34 games so far.  Should be beating FF3 this weekend.

I still can't get over someone making piecharts about how many games he's completed.

Hobo power, bitches!

Do you guys remember when I posted this pic in the Splinter Cell conviction thread? Back in the early version when Sam Fisher was dressed as a hobo and throwing office paper and chairs in people's faces? I got modded for it.

Best Nintendo commercial ever? From that one snapshot I expected a crappy family commercial with kids jumping in the Metroid world or something, but I suppose that kid was baby Samus after all. Great setup, great execution, except they could have fit the gameplay in a nicer way rather than have random scenes in slow motion. Some of the retro enemy design doesn't look too cool either but they can't exactly change that here or in the game...

I'm not a fan of live action trailers, but that was pretty decent.

Finished Final Fantasy 3.  What a waste of my life. I probably spent 50 hours with that piece of garbage.

And Vader complains about 8 hrs with Cursed Mountain? You see this Vader? That's perseverance!

From Gamespot's Goldeneye 007 hands-on:

"Overall, there’s a surprising amount of new content on display in Goldeneye 007 for the Wii. The majority of the game has been rebuilt (and parts of the script have been re-written with the aid of the original writer of the film) to incorporate new features and new tactics. But there are still plenty of throwbacks to the original, including the difficulty settings that feature different objectives for each map. One of these settings even lets you play in classic 007 mode with the old-style health and armor indicators. We’ll have more on Goldeneye 007 before its November release. "

Fuck yes? I'm trying not to get my hopes up but wtf this game keeps looking and sounding better every time I see it. The different objectives on different difficulty levels is something I've always loved about Goldeneye and the Perfect Dark games, and was one of the best things about PD Zero. It adds such a nice element of strategy to the games...I've always wished more companies would use the idea and can't understand why its never caught on.

Always wished Bungie would have did this with the Halo series....would have given the games even more replay value.

Updating now

I like that creature in Majin.

Those Fallout pics look bad to me, like its being run on the lowest PC settings.

Updates done, my picks of the best stuff:

Ubisoft: Work continues on Beyond Good and Evil 2 Ancel wants it perfect

Konami Announce Neverdead

10 Neverdead pics Looks pretty cool

1up Metroid Other M interview A detailed interview very much worthy of your time

Little Big Planet 1 was originally like Mario 64 As in a 3D platformer moving into the screen

Probably 70% of those that game.  I can see the girls "upgrading" from a DS and the boys upgrading to a home console.  Since hand-held consoles seem to have a "for kids" stigma amongst gamers.  In my world, when I am in populated areas, I never see any PSP's at all (I've seen two in the last 3 years, and one was a nephew), and I only ever see small boys or girls of any age with DS's.

I just can't imagine ANYONE of any age or gender having a PSP unless they were a pirate or an JRPG enthusiast.

I have a PSP. I haven't installed any custom firmware on it nor am I particularly interested in JRPGS.

Babelfish translation

Although this year was hoped to discover the new coming of Call of Duty to Wii, the sample of Activision during the GamesCom received with a impassible wall of excessive secrecy with respect to this version.

There is images nor no detailed information of Black Ops Wii

It has been let see the version for Xbox360, but the incognitos with respect to the tablecloth console of Nintendo are more and more, unpublished movement when the last Modern Warfare the Reflex, most hidden all, could know in Colony the past year.

In an interview to the Community Manager de Treyarch, Josh Olin, Revogamers it has tried to sonsacar some details about the new Black Ops for Wii. In declarations of Olin, the greater problem to adapt this title to a console like wii resides in which they will make very great scenes, with great amount of destruíbles elements, and very spectacular situations that at first have been thought of for more powerful consoles. Even so, it has promised that they will try to make the best possible version most similar to their sister versions on the other platforms as far as content and gameplay, but has not specified nothing else there. What if has confirmed it is that the game will have better visuals than its predecessor, and they are working to be able to offer the best visual experience of a shooter on Wii.

With novel ways to control jumping between platforms in the last months, Treyarch has confirmed that Black Ops Wii will stay faithful to the Wiimote IR aiming system with Nunchuk, without considering the dual analogue aiming that has been incorporated  inGoldeneye 007:

And they will not be taking the Wii IR controls to any other systems like the PlayStation Move or Kinect.

It is not known when we'll see more details of the version of Wii. The 1 of September is predicted that more details will emerge in respect to the way online will work on HD systems. Perhaps then more will be revealed about the wii version.

So no Move support for PS3.
