Woo, official Megaman 9 trailer!

[Krandor]

It would be 4 maximum since the one on the PS3 is 30GB with uncompressed 7.1 audio, but probably 2 DVDs with compressed 5.1 audio.

At last check MGS4 filled out a Dual Layer Blu-ray disc (50GB), where did you get 30GB from?

It uses a 50GB disc but it doesn't use all of it.

Woo, official Megaman 9 trailer!

I really hate how they using cheap methods and actually advertising it. No way I'm paying for it. Good thing it's coming out for the Wii.

Infinite Undiscovery looks interesting, but the name makes me lol a little.

[aurik]

I'll be getting it. Nothing wrong with retro.

[Lordwafik]

eep. Nice graphics choice imo, but would have been nicer to go back to the SNES graphics rather than all the way back to NES. However it's 10 times easier to create graphics for NES than SNES so understandable if they're on a budget (probably 4 man team)

It's for all three systems.


and it's only 10 dollars.

Megaman X4 was the first Megaman game I played, and it's the only one I have liked so far... not sure what it is, but that game just feels different from the others.
Whatever it is that's different is what I like.

I doubt Megaman 9 will have what I'm looking for.

[Atma]

It absolutely boggles my mind how someone can be disappointed with a new retro Megaman game. This is easily the absolute best thing I could have asked for in a new Megaman game; I can't die until I play this. I suppose it may be hard for people who didn't grow up playing classic Megaman to understand, but the originals are truly some of the best games Megaman has ever been in. 7 and 8 were decent, but they'll never be considered as well as 1-6 are.

[Charismatic]

It's not that complicated really, at least not from the perspective of someone who started with the X series...
The classic games are just too slow and easy.

I don't care for nostalgia fap that much(though I guess I grew up with the X series instead of the originals, but I did end up playing through all of them) and that's only positive side I can see out of this. I imagine the creative team know this too.

I think the 10 dollar price is too much for it because it seems nothing more than a hacked nes-rom. It's a step backwards and the original games have aged horribly. Retro is cool when it's free, comes in packs of 5 or more, or is a mini-game within a game.

David Hayter actually doesn't recall saying that.

Only... it's... not. >.> This is a brand new game made by the original company from the ground up. Hacked nes-roms are piss poor quality and usually can't hold my attention for more than 10 seconds, but everything about this game is professionally done, from the story to the music to the art and graphics. Part of the reason this is so exciting is that each time a current Megaman game is made, it always turns out to be "good" at best, and awful at worst. The MMZ and ZXA games are a good example of this. They're solid titles, but that's all they'll ever be. They're never going to be timeless classics like MM's 1-3 are.

On the MMX comment, I've actually heard people say that they can't go back to the original MM's because they played the X games first, and that's understandable. Reminds me of the whole "Which is better: Metroid Prime or Super Metroid" thing. Whichever one you played first you'll probably end up liking better.

And; $10 is expensive for a brand new game? Seriously?

[Reapz]

Hoping to see:

FFXIII & versus XIII
Kingdom Hearts
Legend of Zelda
Tomb Raider Underworld

I would say SE's new MMO but I don't want to get sucked into another MMO, hoping FFXI is my first and last, but I can somehow see me being sucked in anyway

[Jefe]

Besides the obvious games mentioned here (except for KH3) I want Capcom to announce Monster Hunter Freedom 2G for the PSP. I haven't tried the hacked version because I have to finish MHF2. That's one freaking hard game, but it's damn addictive. Besides having your own felyne cooks, now you'll get felyne fighters to help you out nya!

This is what matters:

HL2: EP3
Resident Evil 5
God of War III

no one cares about prince of persia 8 or whatever.

It is sure as hell not easy to make a good 8-bit looking game. It's a difficult limitation for people trained in making sprites with resolution in the hundreds instead of the 10s. The right person can pump stuff out pretty well, but to a lot of people it would be a very difficult challenge. Plus, 8-bit graphics have a certain appeal to them and some positive effects on how well things work. I think of it like Black and White film techniques: they can be used quite effectively. I don't think Clerks was a step back in filmmaking and quality for using Black and White footage.

A lot of stuff considered 'archaic' can still be used effectively. For gods sake, I recently played a relatively new (2-3 years old iirc) text adventure game and it was a fantastic experience that is unrivaled and would have been less effective using different gameplay ideas.

Furthermore, a simpler game leaves more room for polish. They can sit down and play the game more to ensure precision and the team can be small enough that the original ideas and original vision gets properly executed. See: Popcap games. Lament 'casual games' all you want, but the fact is they are pumping out scores of fun games that are polished to perfection. Meanwhile, GTA4 has a stupidly huge scope that makes it so that a lot of things seemed like they were thrown in and not carefully considered and polished. There is room for all of this stuff.

I'm looking forward to MM9 for those reasons. If done right it could be a fantastic throwback to simple perfection.


btw, Charismatic, I'm sure the main reason you liked X4 was the overblown, retarded anime cutscenes.



I'm looking forward to E3 surprises. I never really know what is going to impress me from E3s.

[Charismatic]

No you retarded piece of shit.
When it comes to games, I'm about one fucking thing; gameplay.

Also, kindly stay the fuck off my nuts.

[aurik]

MM2-3 was the pinnacle of the series for gameplay.
