Did anyone see the Red Steel 2 preview on IGN? It looks pretty cool: http://wii.ign.com/articles/988/988473p1.html

There's no fucking way I'm going to let Red Steel get my hopes up again.

I don't care, I'm looking forward to it, especially now that you can actually use the sword whenever you want and the combat looks decent. Overall the game looks decent, actually, and this time they're not rushing the game like they supposedly did for the original.

Wait, what about the whole new wii add on that make motion control better? Wasn't that shown at E3 or are you people just that cynical :P

It's fucking terrible, trust me. I've used it and it's not noticeable at all what difference it makes to the wiimote in terms of functionality. Ergonomically it's stupidly heavy and completely unbalances the weight distribution of the wiimote (it plugs into the bottom of it and there is nothing on the top to counterbalance the new weight) so it's actually really tiring to use for any period of time. It's just an uncomfortable piece of shit.

edit: Hmm.. something tells me I probably am not allowed to even talk about it but whoooops nintendo didn't make me sign an NDA oh well

So are people not allowed to talk about WM+ even with games that use it?  I know I've read a few hands on of WSResort and Red Steel 2 but don't recall if they really even talked about handling issues when using it.

did anyone see this conviction trailer? the previous ones were absolutely terrible (seriously the only real thing they showed was SAM CAN NOW PICK UP... OBJECTS!!!) and it is completely different than i expected. it looks really, really good which is great considering how disappointing double agent was

it seems very CINEMATIC and smooth and i'm very impressed with the footage, even though it's cherry picked and they probably plotted out the path through the level to the foot he could take to make sure it looked this awesome. i hope the rest is as good as the footage otherwise it'll be kind of EHH (pandora tomorrow, double agent both like this!!). the action at the end was pretty wonky though, but i think that the player just screwed up the entrance procedure because he looked pretty damn close to dying.

That’s right, you have the young gaming with the old(er), white people gaming with black people, men and women, Asian countries gaming with the EU, North Americans gaming with South Americans. Much like world sporting events like the Wolrd Cup, or the Olympics will bring together different nations in friendly competition, (note the recent Asian Cup; Iraq vs. Saudi Arabia, no violence there) we come together. The differences being, we are not divided by our nationalities and we do it 24-7, and on a personal level.

We are a community without borders and without colours, the spirit and diversity of the gaming community is one that should be looked up to, a spirit and diversity other groups should strive toward.

new castlevania looked sweet too, and that splinter cell video was really cool. i was never a huge fan of the series tho but i'll at least try the new one.

http://www.gametrailers.com/video/e3-09-metroid-other/50237

so is it just me, or did they just turn metroid into every other science fiction action game on the face of the earth?  samus aran doesn't have fucking friends.  she doesn't have supervisors or rivals.  i don't want cool poses, one-liners or intergalactic council meetings in my metroid, and i definitely don't want it to be some epic, sweeping space opera.  that is superfluous bullshit that should serve as a backdrop, if it's even included at all.  yeah, prime 3 did this but retro handled it well, not CLOSEUP OF INSIDE OF GUN seriously guys

just drop me on a well-designed planet with no radio contact and let me collect shit until you decide the game is over.  that's all you need to do, nintendo.

p.s. lookin forward to those spectacular breast physics as always, team ninja.

What the fuck. Project M? Team Ninja? I have never even heard of these before. What happened to Retro Studies? Admittedly I think retro totally lost the plot with hunters/prime 3 but at least they know the metroid brand well. This game looks... I don't know. I want to say I hate it but it actually looked kinda cool, except for the shitty generic human space opera yeah.

also token black guy, every sci-fi gotta have the black guy with the cheesy accent (also lol@that grin he makes when opening the helmet)

what game did you play?

Now that I can't talk about. ;)

Compared to what? It feels very much like the retro, pre-pretty boy castlevanias to me (though with obvious graphical upgrades).

The one you should be complaining about is the castlevania fighting game for the Wii.

i didn't say that looked castlevania-ish either geez

i just said this doesn't look very much what we're accustomed to, even the retro castlevanias

idk i almost get more of a God of War vibe from it than castlevania

oh except it has crosses



ps: incase you didn't notice this is just a very early opinion i've no fucking clue otherwise
