General gaming news

Well, I downloaded and played the PixelJunk Monsters demo, which for some reason I couldn't find on the NA store and had to get it off of the JP store. It's pretty fun but I may be biased seeing as I like tower defense games. The only real gripes I have with it are the tower upgrading system, the way you have to go about collecting the coins and gems that drop off of each killed monster and the fact that the main character seems to run soooo slow.

You get access to run after you beat the first special stage. I thought the same about the advanced towers but after a while I realized the game would be too easy if all the towers you unlock on one stage would stay unlocked. On +10 wave stages its easy to have up to 45 gems per map. You'd have multiple maxed out morter, laser, and hive towers. That wouldn't be fun. There is actually a map that starts with access to all towers and a lot of currency. It was too easy (constant flood of monsters of different types, and two final bosses).

You never know Exo, Nomura holds big weight at SE so if he wants it out everywhere in 2008 it just might happen.

dualshock3 is sexy, wait for it.

So true, I've had my white one imported for a while, and I love it

[Norelco]

So, where's my $299 PS3?

Knowing SE, it won't happen.

And yeah ds3. <3

2008 in Japan? That would be interesting....and unexpected, but we shall see. I'd like to know about it. I wouldn't hold my breath (or import a text heavy game like that...)

I'd also like to know more about that "rumored" Ps3, since it doesn't make much sense to me to phase out the 80gig just to make this one. Granted, if it has BC then that's always nice so people have something definitely have something else to pick from besides the "tard pack" no-BC one after PS2 gets phased out and the price lowers more, but I expected them to not worry about it before then. Of course, that rumor could be total BS, I just don't know. I'd settle for them making up their mind though! I just can't tell what's going on, lol.

Supposedly joystiq took Nomura's comment out of context. What he said was

"2008 will be the year. There will be tons of news bits, info on characters and summons, and an unexpected connection between the keywords Cocoon and Farushi. "

Not it'll be released in 2008 but 2008 is when we'll get a ton of info on the game.

Nomura promises FFXIII in 2008 as well as a playable demo:

lmao. I guess Exo knows more than some people like to give him credit for. he's the only one who said theres no chance of an 08 release.

[Mysterio]

It's still not ruled out, but highly unlikely yes.

One can be hopeful I guess.

Even if it did come out this year. It won't push more consoles than say Gears 2 if they were head to head this holiday season.

[Alina]

I wonder when Gears 2 will be coming out, what with Epic's lawsuit and all... Although they had better fix their damn achievements this time! 11k kills and didn't get Seriously

Really doubt it.

By now I think everyone who cares about gears has a 360, definitely not the same for FF and PS3...

That seriously sucks. I only got half the achievements in Gears (the offline portion), because I never found online very fun.

My guess is November. Which would be 2 years after the first one came out. They already have the engine and lots of the particulars done from the first one, so I assume 2 years would be plenty of time. And I think it will be very realistic to see an epic battle between Gears 2 and Resistance 2, that will be an exciting NPD month :D

[Exoduso]

Gears 2 would be awesome, but the story needs to be a little more interesting this time lol.

[Octavious]

Gears 2 would be awesome, but the story needs to be a little more interesting this time lol.

I agree, I would love to blow some Kryll into meat chunks...however the story would need to have far less plot holes. "What? Why is Marcus's Dads mansion infested? What the...why was his trial a sham???" I demand answer!

As of now, my hopes lie in MGS4, GTAIV, FFXIII to push more PS3s...well assuming Home isn't as awesome as its hyped.

Online Gears is a great example for people who like to hate on achivements, nothing like getting a guy on your team who'ss going for the pistol achivement

Agreed, I got all the offline (and online co-op story mode) achievements and stopped there heh.

I CAN'T QUIT YOU DOM!!

I wish Halo had Gears type achievements. Those are real achievements, not some bullshit "lets watch youtube vids n get skullz for pointz yay!" cause that wasn't fun. I'd rather waste my time playing the actual game than doing stupid not fun side crap.
