I can honestly say that sucker is the only thing that doesn't suck (irony) in my opinion. I really dislike the aliens, it's like devs had no idea how to design aliens and then one of them said: "WHO NEEDS ORIGINAL DESIGN, LETS MAKE THEM LOOK LIKE IRREGULAR SHAPES OR SOME OTHER SH*T" and everybody agreed because of lack of other ideas. I think it's so forgettable... AND I DIDN'T EVEN START PLAYING!

MeechMunchie 01-15-2012 02:12 PM

Shifting glowing cuboids are more convincingly original and alien than most of the enemies we get in games.

i dont remember a single thing about this game

Have you played it?

oh right

Daxter King 01-15-2012 02:51 PM

I think he was referring to the designs being forgettable, considering thats what the rest of the post was about.

Varrok 01-15-2012 02:55 PM

I don't know, maybe it's me, but I feel huge difference when I e.g. look at Bioshock Launch Trailer ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CoYorK3E4aM ) and 2K's next game's (XCOM) trailer from E3 ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JdVb4UnqO7A ):

On the first movie I see interesting scenery, everything's really climatic (with old, happy music contrasting to drastic scenes I see), there's a lot of dynamism, creative-looking enemies and (semi) innovative gameplay mechanisms (you know, plasmids etc.). Some individual elements may look cliche, but the way the developers combine them is unique.

When I look at XCOM's trailer... well... okay, there's a city based on those from 'fifties, but it looks... just boring, there's no music - even for a moment at the beginning, then I see some characters: a woman and 2 men... the woman looks pretty ok, but when I look at that grumpy guy I'm confused and can't tell if it was supposed to be realistic or it's a cartoon... he just looks extremely silly, even for '50 standards... then we cut to scenes showing aliens moving and leaving bodies - I think it looks like a rip-off from a BAD lowbudget horror - 1:05 - "Oh no a dead body and no sign of the murderer *scream*"... then there's a gameplay scene with a shotgun... You're shooting shapeless aliens with a shotgun... and then you're shooting more of the same type of aliens with a shotgun... then you change a weapon to some sort of electric one and you zap the same type of aliens - I honestly think I'd be bored if I had to shoot the same thing over and over again (and I don't think i'd like to shoot many small round objects [it's annoying, it's ok if it's not that common]) - I know there might be some more types in final game, but it's a trailer and it's supposed to show the game from its best side... then comes "sucker" scene, which is neat, I have nothing to say here, but it's only less than 1/3 of the whole trailer...


That's the longest post I wrote since I joined here : o
with the biggest number of spelling/grammar/whatever errors

The 2011 trailer seems to depart from the blobs of ink in the first trailer. Though, the enemies look pretty unimaginative either way. I do like the part where the trailer says "Study Them" and the player simply shoots the ink with a shotgun.

Varrok 01-15-2012 03:10 PM

Oh, I haven't seen that trailer before (I still don't like the game and wouldn't buy it)

That got my attention too :D


Why are there human-shaped aliens now? It looks even dumber: shaping as humans when you're capable of shaping as anything... aliens should look like something more ideal (for fight)...

Bah humbug, too many games jumping on the 50s bandwagon.

Phylum 01-15-2012 07:43 PM

I just read some stuff about Kindgoms of Alamur: Reckoning. I'm now very excited about getting this next month.

Sadly, the trailer I watched was on a disk that came with a magazine and I can't find it on the internet. None of the others seem quite as good.

EDIT: Damnit, it appears THQ is pretty much dead. They have cancelled their entire 2014 lineup and are currently looking for buyers. This makes me sad as I love Darksiders, Red Faction, and Saints Row. I was also looking forward to Devil's Third and Del Toro's new game. Hope someone buys them up and saves all those great IPs and games.

Is this it?

It looks pretty cool actually, I might just pick it up.

Dynamithix 01-16-2012 05:11 AM

And if you play the demos for Kingdoms of Amalur and Mass Effect 3, you unlock in-game stuff to both games. Kind of neat. I'm pretty interested in Amalur too, looks cool.

Mac Sirloin 01-16-2012 06:02 AM

EDIT: I AM LOOKING FORWARD TO HALO 4

Dynamithix 01-16-2012 06:33 AM

I think you got the threads mixed up.

Mac Sirloin 01-16-2012 08:42 AM

I soytanly did.

Daxter King 01-16-2012 10:17 AM

They only deny cancelling the 2014 lineup and address none of the other issues, even though they mention the MMO, they dont say whether it is cancelled or not. All the other rumors aren't addressed at all, so Im not so sure about it right now. Also, their stock is currently less than a dollar.

Dynamithix 01-18-2012 09:48 AM

This is rumoured to be a viral campaign for Resident Evil 6. Doesn't seem too far fetched.

Varrok 01-18-2012 11:02 AM

Resident Evil 6? I doubt it: Too much disturbing images/horror things and too less shooting stuff

MeechMunchie 01-18-2012 12:54 PM

Erudite? World's #1 poetry simulator.


Dynamithix 01-19-2012 04:48 AM

I just got my hype on for the new SSX after watching a bunch of new trailers of it.



It's been so long since I played an SSX game. It looks so fun, I think I'm going to get this. And to be honest, as much as some of you people hate dubstep, this seems like a game where that kind of music would fit perfectly.

EDIT: Newsflash! Fallout: New Vegas Ultimate Edition's trailer is awesome. It comes out in February.



Oh, and Deadlight's first teaser looks interesting to say the least.



Also, someone who's supposedly working in Capcom said that RE6 will be revealed very soon and that the main protagonists are Leon and Chris. Interesting.

Disgruntled Intern 01-19-2012 11:41 AM

Just played a bit of the Kingdom of Amalur demo. Really liked it. I'm going to finish the demo later, but at this point I'll probably pick it up.

Dynamithix 01-19-2012 01:27 PM

Yep, it's official. RE6.


Daxter King 01-19-2012 01:36 PM

Damn you, I came here to post that.

Anyways, looks like there is a cover system for the entire game now. As long as there is no forced co-op, then I'm in.

Mr. Bungle 01-19-2012 01:57 PM

Yessssss. Can't fucking wait for this. Resident Evil 4 might be my favourite game ever, and Resi 5 I loved as well.

I thought I was the only one that like Resident Evil 5. Everyone else disliked it. :P

Crashpunk 01-26-2012 10:53 AM

Rayman Origins is coming to PC (I don't know about Steam) for £19.99. Pre-order it from the Ubi shop and you get a free, downloadable copy of Rayman 2: The Great Escape. :D

Varrok 01-26-2012 12:19 PM

That's... unexpected. I'll probably buy it if only it's on steam and doesn't contain stupid ubisoft's drm

Crashpunk 01-26-2012 01:29 PM

I really hope its released for Steam. I wanna see some Rayman TF2 Promos :D

MeechMunchie 01-26-2012 02:09 PM



Kim "Portal" Swift continues to screw with the universe.

Phylum 01-26-2012 02:12 PM

I just want the damn thing to sell more. It deserves to.

Which damn thing? Quantum Conundrum isn't out yet.

Phylum 01-26-2012 06:38 PM

Oh. MM sniped me.

I want Origins to sell more.

Dynamithix 01-27-2012 09:15 AM

What the fuck now, EA put an online pass on Kingdoms of Amalur (a single player RPG) that includes SEVEN QUESTS. So basically, if you buy it used, they cut seven main quests out of your game. Fuck off, EA.

If EA never made the ideal of the online pass then all of our games would be free from them.

But Seriously why did there put an online pass for an single player game? :fuzconf:

OANST 01-27-2012 09:51 AM

To keep you from pirating it?

Dynamithix 01-27-2012 09:59 AM

More like keep you from buying it used.

Something like that.

No, they just hate used sales. They also apparently hate people that don't have their consoles connected to the internet.

Witcher 2 on 360 comes out on April 17th, and its getting a lot of nifty content with it. There will be a free patch for the PC version that comes with the extra stuff around that time as well. I'll be sure to pick it up.



Also, the new SSX looks pretty fun.


BoneyHead95 01-28-2012 01:55 PM

Getting Metal Gear Solid HD Collection on the 3rd of February. Can't wait! :P

Dynamithix 01-29-2012 03:41 AM

Looks like they delayed the new Aliens game till autumn, but they gave us a neat CGI trailer.


Hazel-Rah 01-30-2012 08:12 AM

I hate to say I'm looking foward to a compilation of older games but, I can't wait for the Jak and Daxter HD collection. I've been thinking about those games a lot lately and in retrospect I can't believe how spoiled platformer fans were just a generation ago.

Sly 4 looks really good so far, but I'm hoping we'll get to see gameplay of some non-Feudal Japan levels soon.

And having just finished Mass Effect 2 (one of the best games I've ever played) I'm definitely excited for ME3, but I'll wait 'till it goes down in price 'cause...money
