Scans from the review of MGS4 in the lastest Gamepro.

I am really really anxious to see what numbers this thing produces on the 12th.

DQ9 will probably outsell a FF7 remake if there was one.

0/10

Doubtful.

While Dragon Quest games sell fantastically well in Japan, their appeal in America has been very limited. Final Fantasy VII, on the other hand, would sell strongly in both regions, and if you read the linked article, it is the Western audience that Square is trying to recapture.

Wonder if IGN will score up another 10/10.

There's enough hype for it

[Tajin]

Bad scan is bad, it says the cinemas are long but no 90 minutes long. :< Oh well.

[BRP]

Fuck yeah, Dan and Fei Long are going to be in IV. I really hope they change some of Fei Long's specials like they are in HD Remix. Crazy impossible.

Anyway, SE believes they will sell 10 million copies with DQIX. The DS is powerful enough to produce those kind of numbers(though I think 10 million is aiming a couple million too high). The PS3(or any next-gen console in that case)? I wouldn't say so. Even if the majority of sells come from Japan(where I expect 50% of DS owners will buy a copy, maybe even more), the DS and DQ name in combination is strong enough else where to ensure at least minimal success.

Also: 90-minute cutscene rumors were hilarious and at the same time irritating. I should make a fake news website and quote unprinted "whispers" from some lesser known european magazine to troll the entire internet.

[Tajin]

we're back to square one, what is wrong with 90 minute long cutscenes? >.>

Is not as if people does not sit thru the whole LotR trilogy.

[BRP]

I didn't mean to say they were bad or good. The whole thing was stupid because people(maybe at the fault of certain shitty websites) believed something with no source.

Imagine the shitstorm if someone did something like this:

"A nintendo power of England reviewer who has completed SSB:Brawl whispered to me that Megaman is actually in the roster". And then Kotaku quoted it without showing any sort of disbelief, simply "WOW THIS ROCKS/SUCKS/OPINIONSLOL".

"A official german xbox magazine reviewer has whispered to me he's played the Xbox version of MGS4 and more details will be released at another date'.

[Hitoshura]

lolkotaku.

As for the 90 minute cutscenes I would really hope you get to move around every 30-40 minutes or so to save. I don't want to lave the PS3 on in case I have to do something.

You act like it was "whispers". A BLOG site that COMPILES news stories from -mostly- other sources posted something that the largest unofficial British Playstation newsprint magazine POSTED AND PRINTED in their mag and on their webpage. There was no whispers, this was reported, obviously OK'd by that magazine's editor, and printed. What the fuck do you want in a source? If anyone has pie on their face, it's the author of that story and editor of that mag.

Should also add that Kotaku posted a retraction.

New Prince of Persia looks awesome:

Holy shit they're making a sequel to this game you never played but should have(BG&E was awesome, you should seriously find it and play it):

And finally, words escape me when trying to describe this trailer:

Edit: Also, free Army of Two content tomorrow. Two new campaign levels, 1 new multiplayer level, and most importantly, more achievements!

I stopped watching the GH on tour crap about halfway through lol... dumbest video ever.

[Elcura]

That was strange.

WIGGLE WIGGLE WIGGLE

I have yet to see any sort of confirmation that it was actually in the magazine, in fact everyone has seem to suddenly drop it. The only time it's ever mentioned was on that site. Feel free to prove me wrong, I don't exactly have access to the physical magazine.

[thestalkmore]

THAT WAS WORSE THAN THE FIREEEE

[Tyche]

You realize that site is the website of that magazine, right? Why would they lie about what is included in their issue? The magazine dropped on stands the day the story went live online, so I doubt they corrected the magazine fast enough. Unless it's the tabloids of gaming (which I don't know, I don't live where it's printed), I see no reason it shouldn't be used as a source. It'd be no different than using EGM or gamepro, which are both popular unofficial gaming magazines.
