I'm looking forward to New Vegas, but for me this year, so far the game I'm looking forward to most of all is DiRT Showdown. It has a very mixed reaction from DiRT fans. I'm personally looking forward to it considering how awesome the destruction derby was in GRID and Codemasters have stated that Showdown is a spin off and not DiRT4 (They mentioned that it is currently in development). I won't bother posting a video though, I get the feeling that I will be the only one here interested in DiRT Showdown :(

Sure, pay twice for the same game let 'em know you like things working that way

Feel free not to?

You're right, I already own Rayman 3 on PC and I would be paying for the same game twice!

Oh wait.

I don't and I wouldn't be.

The Jak and Daxter HD trailer had no new HD content in it because they were actually annoucment trailers. It is pretty stupid not showing us HD footage but at least we know its being made. Maybe we'll see some footage soon enough...

I want to see more of this though. Out of all the Rayman games, Rayman 3 needed a revamp and plus its my favorite Rayman game by far. Also, Why aren't they calling it Hoodlum Havoc? I love that name!

And yeah I totally agree with Beyond Good & Evil HD but a sequal would be better, same could be said with Rayman...:tard:

Also stop saying 'your buying the same game again'! *Cough* Stranger's Wrath HD *Cough* Abe HD *Cough*

Varrok 02-02-2012 03:10 AM

Stranger's wrath HD really is in HD in terms of character/env details. Not just resolution. Rayman3 HD looks exactly like original I played. I'd much rather buy SW HD

Dynamithix 02-04-2012 12:22 PM

Mass Effect 3 achievements revealed! A really good list, especially the fact that you get achievements for either doing the same stuff in multiplayer or in singleplayer. Good move, Bioware, more companies should do that the same way, don't force us to play the multiplayer.

Dixanadu 02-06-2012 05:23 PM

Reapers can chase you on the Galaxy map!?

Looking forward to the 'reveal origins' one. Hopefully it'll explain where the synthetic bastards came from.

Dynamithix 02-07-2012 04:58 AM

C'mon, Schafer, do it.

I came here to post the same thing from PCGamer. It is pretty cool, Tim's been saying it for years, now he's got a chance!

I always said that if I was a multimillionaire, I'd wander into a few companies I like, and say "Hey, I like your stuff and I've got far more money than sense. Let's make this game/movie/comic happen."

Hawken has a website and is accepting for a closed beta. If you're interested and use this link, something cool might happen for me.

OANST 02-07-2012 09:38 AM

I just masturbated.

MeechMunchie 02-07-2012 10:37 AM

What, you think you can just waltz into threads and say any random brain fart like you own the - oh wait, you basically do. Carry on.

Manco 02-07-2012 10:44 AM

That’s because you say it, right?

OANST 02-07-2012 10:49 AM

Cream cheese.

MeechMunchie 02-07-2012 11:55 AM

Banana Flakes!

Nate 02-08-2012 12:57 AM

I'm not convinced that Psychonauts without Erik Wolpaw would be a good idea. Or that it's a game that will work well as a sequel. I'd prefer an original game with the same level of writing and polish.

OANST 02-08-2012 09:58 AM

I want it. End of story.


Buuuuuuut, it was mostly the summer camp setting, and interacting with the other campers that made me fall in love with the game. A sequel not set at Whispering Oaks might not be as awesome.

MeechMunchie 02-08-2012 09:59 AM

As far as I'm concerned, it's the perfect game for a sequel. It could be exactly the same, there just needs to be more of it.

If they just ripped out the innards of Psychonauts and injected a new set of locations and characters, even without changing a single element of gameplay or design, I'd be happy so long as they kept the quality of the original.

Also, Whispering Oaks? I am disappoint, OANST.

Bullet Magnet 02-08-2012 01:06 PM

The entire game will be set in the mind of the Tim Schafer of an alternative universe where Psychonauts 2 was never made and thus remains within his imagination.

It'll all be half-thoughts, musings and undeveloped ideas given form.

MeechMunchie 02-08-2012 02:39 PM

Hey, I'd play it.

This sounds better than what I was imagining it to be.

Bullet Magnet 02-09-2012 04:41 AM

The goal will be to take possession of Tim's body and force him to make the game a reality. There will be sections in which you control a glassy-eyed Schafer who stumbles robotically around DoubleFine and publishing studios trying to secure funding and development. As the game progresses the Psychonauts consolidate their control, Tim's movements become more natural, and the range of actions available to him increases during these "real world" levels.

It ends with either a successful development cycle and a game that is once again largely missed by the community, or a rampage through a publisher's conference, wreaking havoc and revenge on all those deemed responsible for ruining gaming. The endings are playable. The former depicts Tim laying his new game, which is exactly the same as the one you just played, forming an infinite recursive loop. Sooner or later everyone ends the loop by playing the rampage ending.

Fox News will love it.

Varrok 02-09-2012 05:11 AM

Thanks for spoiling the ending...

...jerk.

MeechMunchie 02-09-2012 08:09 AM



This shouldn't really be here, it's about games that will never be made...

I know, I know. On the drive into work this morning, and I swear to god this happened, I sat bolt upright and said aloud, "Did I write Whispering Oaks". I know it's Whispering Rock. I just did a stupid is all.

Dynamithix 02-14-2012 11:35 AM

EDIT: The Psychonauts 2 plot thickens!

Bunch of new trailers for SSX. Goddamn am I hyped for this game!



I just love it when 'It's Tricky' starts playing.



The Africa tracks look awesome.



I wonder if Fuji mountain is in it, they said it would be but it could also be a pre-order bonus.

Oh and the new Armored Core looks pretty cool. I haven't played those games since I was 6 years old, hah.


A bizarre promotional video for the new Alan Wake including the main antagonist... dancing?


Also, the first two dev. diaries of Alan Wake: American Nightmare:




Mac Sirloin 02-16-2012 07:39 PM

That new Twisted Metal game was already released on Tuesday, but since I didn't know that I thought I'd post this prepostorous blast from the past.

STM 02-17-2012 04:20 AM

That Alan Wake video reminded me of Moriarty from the BBC Sherlock series...

Dynamithix 02-17-2012 02:37 PM

The SSX demo is out on the 21st, fuck yeah.

They also released a bunch of new gameplay footage today!







I WANT I WANT I WANT

Seriously though, am I the only one really excited for this game? :|

MeechMunchie 02-17-2012 02:47 PM

I think so.
