Impressive, lol. I can't sustain the strum speed to get more than 3 stars on the upper teirs of expert

Alternate strumming baby! Miserlou made sure I was good at it.

Yea I'm crap at it, lol. When the extremely fast parts come up I just start strumming as fast as I can and focus on getting the right fret buttons pressed. That and make sure I hit every star power measure & use it wisely to bridge crazily difficult areas.

...I need to go back and relearn everything by alternating. Finally beat Freebird on expert today, now I'm trying to put together a streak of 1000 on x-stream (hard) but it takes a ton of endurance; I keep on slipping up at random places between 500-900 notes in.

Bionic Commando for the 360 and PS3.

That was Capcom's big announcement.


How uneventful.

There is still over a day left on the timer on their main site. It seems as though they still have something up their sleeve.

Bionic Commando is one of the most awesome games ever.

Is it a downloadable game or a remake, did they say?

Though I would like to see DR2 as well.

Gaming Excellence has managed to get some very interesting information pertaining to GTA IV at the PlayStation Holiday Preview Event held in Toronto recently. While GTA IV wasn't being covered at the event, Rockstar was in attendance to show off Manhunt 2.

Now GTA IV being GTA IV, this meant that the topic eventually came up and many of the usual questions were asked, BUT Rockstar had some notable items to divulge.

Firstly, the developers have been busy testing various plots and have even considered having the entire world unlocked for the player at the start of the game. GTA veterans will know that one of the staples of previous GTA games has been locked areas that can only be accessed by progressing past certain missions or pivotal story elements.

Some fans enjoyed this system, as it gave them incentive to move through the story and continue playing the game, while other fans found the system somewhat limiting and unecessary.

Secondly, and more importantly, Rockstar is aiming for a multiplayer component to compliment the singleplayer, with up to 16 players fighting it out in various multiplayer modes.

Of course, for PC users, this won't be such a ground breaking and new experience because modifications opened the door to multiplayer Grand Theft Auto III soon after its release for PCs. For console users however, the Grand Theft Auto series has been a strictly offline affair, so the possibility of multiplayer is a huge plus and will no doubt make up for the delays in the release of GTA IV.

GTA IV is slated for release in Q1-Q2 2008 on PS3 and Xbox 360.

Not only was Bionic Commando merely a decent game, not great, it was also Capcom answer to giving Wii MH3 exclusivity. Remember the Capcom rep going "Lets see what PS3 owners think of us next week."? A multiplatform title was their answer to that.

The timer is just to some press event. If they announce something else, I'll be shocked.

Opera added widget functionality to the Wii Browser...I'm not sure if I care really. Anyone know any cool widgets?

Technically, he said "Let's see how they feel at the end of next week about us.". Seeing as they announced BC on Monday, it leads me to believe that the PS3 news is yet to come.

If thats the case Capcom has produced epic failure once again.

Wheres our Street fighter 4? or even another Dead rising, at least it was popular

[ertyu]

They didn't produce epic failure when they announced monster hunter 3 for Wii exclusively, man I can't wait for that. That one screenshot that's out for it looks really sick, if that's ingame graphics >_>

Double edit: So apparently that is a screenshot from the Wii version. People were saying that was a PS3 screenshot before they cancelled the project and moved it over to the wii.

I'm Keiji Inafune of Capcom. We're glad to announce Monster Hunter for Wii. This Monster Hunter 3 is an original sequel to Monster Hunter 2. The images you've seen were created on the actual Wii hardware. Our developers are working hard on development now. Please enjoy playing Monster Hunter with the Wii Remote to your heart's content. And please look forward to the actual release of the game

Yes you're right. Except I wasn't referring to that lol

They had hinted at a Street Fighter 4 sequel on a couple occasions now, only to let down fans both times.

Wii needs more game that put to shame the one that have downgraded gamecube graphic I'm not a graphic whore, but some studio are really making 0 effort to produce something with decent artistic/visual value

[ertyu]

I agree, fucking lazy ass devs just want to make quick cash and don't give a shit about the product they put out. You have to admit though, that screenshot looks gorgeous =P

The counter is right there on the main page. It may not take up almost the entire screen like the old one did, but it's there. Right now it says 5 hours, 34 minutes and 50 seconds.

Planning on buying a 20GB PS3 this coming November. Only thing is that I'm kind of considering saving up for the 60GB since it has an HDMI port.. Does anyone use it? Is it really worth it?

[Po]

Erm.. good luck doing that unless you plan on Ebay'ing it or getting it off of Craigslist.

20 gbs have been gone for a long while, and 60 gbs are no longer being manufactured, so if you still want the 100% backwards compat I would rush to find one now since it is your only chance.

Your only options if you wait till November is the 80gb or 40gb. 80 will be packed with Motorstorm for $500 with software based backwards compat, while the 40 will have 0 backwards compat for $400.
