Well it's not much of a conceptual leap that Natal delivers roughly the same information to the game itself, it's just a matter of how it gets inputted to the device. I'm sure the technical aspects of this are more complicated, but I doubt much rework of the game itself would be required tbh.

possibly talking out of my ass though!1 yeuj

I couldn't tell you how it all works, though MS didn't really make a point of saying it will work with current 360 games, just that it would work with all current 360 hardware. But I suppose that doesn't really say anything either.

@ Pulits

It could end up as something different, you never know. Miyamoto made a point of showing IGN that Link had no sword in the artwork and hushed up about it a bit later. Then again, you could always argue that Link probably hasn't acquired it yet.

And also, I don't think that's NP's score for the Conduit.

HA! Scribblenauts is nuts!

Go the 11 minute mark here, it's about 2 to 3 minutes of footage.

i had heard that indigo prophecy was amazing for the first half, then it takes a complete 180 and starts sucking incredibly bad

Yeah, the first half was really neat. You play as both a "killer" and the cops trying to find the killer, so you can have the cops miss certain evidence. It was really neat. Also you can completely ruin the character's lives.

But then out of fucking NOWHERE, it turns out the whole thing was a conspiracy created by a conscious Internet, and the world spirals toward singularity and it turns out this is all about the end of the world in 2012.

i just read ign's article about ff14 and apparently it's coming out next year as well, like ff13 (in america anyway). they actually got nobuo uematsu to do the soundtrack for it. would have been much better if uematsu composed soundtrack for one of the single player final fantasies since recent ff music has blown in comparison to uematsu's work.

Yeah, I didn't get that. FF10 and FF11 had these great, sweeping orchestrated soundtracks, then FF12 went back to fucking midi shit.

from what I read uematsu at least did the theme for FF13

which i must say is a really awesome song

also the best song in ff12 is the title screen song

which coincidentally is the best song from ff4

Holy crap, Scribblenauts is going to be worth getting just to battle mythic gods!

EDIT: Also, I'm glad the game has a keyboard, because back when they showed people writing it in, it looked pretty annoying.

Eh, FF10's soundtrack wasn't that great either, about on-par with FF12. There were a few really good tracks but rest is pretty forgettable. Uematsu wasn't even main composer for FF10. FF11 had a really cool soundtrack though.

FF12's soundtrack was composed by the same guy who did Final Fantasy Tactics soundtrack. His style is very distinctive and yeah, unfortunately FF12's score wasn't really memorable, although it was still pretty good.

Anyway, at least all the FF13 tracks I have heard so far sound pretty promising so I hope the soundtrack will be pretty good. But it won't be Uematsu good, I'm certain.

I was referring to the instruments used to make the songs. FF10 was actually scored with a real orchestra. Most of the songs in FF12 were made on a computer.

It follows TP style. Yeah, they should probably call it TP2 just like they did with Mario lollol.

Fags. ¬_¬

wow man one piece of concept art and already you're hating.

put away the haterade

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.

what are you whining about

you got a new zelda, and it isn't cel-shaded (i mean i wouldn't mind but every motherfucking person other than me would)

did it absolutely need a new style?

i mean if the game isn't re-hashed tp(which was re-hashed past zeldas) then who the fuck gives a shit?

I really hope it isn't a re-hashed TP. That's all.

I'm still angry at SMG2... that's about it!

Oh man, I wonder if Jack the Ripper is in Scribblenauts. I am so getting this game just to see who all I can think of to do battle with each other.

This game is going to have to get at least an E10+ rating because you can make it as violent as you want. Killing a baby with a chainsaw seems like a real possibility!

I don't mind SMG2, I mean, yeah, it's re-hashed SMG with Yoshi in it, but god, I loved SMG so much I don't mind paying for it again to play new levels.

I'm also definitely getting New Super Mario Bros. I loved the DS one, and the thing that selled it to me was when he confirmed even though co-op is there and it's fun, the core (and he said FOR HARDCORE people, though I think that's just trying to please the people who whine about casual gamers) of the game still lies in single player Mario platforming.

I just wish the graphics were better, but they might be when it comes out.

I hope, at least.

You think that's something? Just came across this post over at Neogaf from someone who played the game...

I had played all the big titles at E3. Private showings of God of War III, Heavy Rain, Alan Wake. But at 4:00 on Thursday, I was wandering around the show floor, wondering what else I had to see. I saw a small little booth for "Scribblenauts!" in the Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment section. I mean, who goes to that booth? But I remember hearing about it on GAF, and so I decided to check it out.

Best game of E3? Without a fucking doubt. Anyone who says otherwise did not play Scribblenauts. Best game of all time? Jesus Christ, I don't know, maybe. It's a game that challenges your IMAGINATION. No other game has ever done that.

So listen to this story. I was in the early levels; I didn't quite have an idea of how ridiculously in-depth the database was. I was summoning things like ladders, glasses of water, rayguns, what have you. But I reached a level with zombie robots, and the zombie robots kept killing me. Rayguns didn't work, a torch didn't work, a pickaxe didn't work. In my frustration, I wrote in "Time Machine". And one popped up. What the fuck? A smile dawned on my face. I hopped in, and the option was given to me to either travel to the past or the future. I chose past. When I hopped out, there were fucking dinosaurs walking around. I clicked one, and realized I could RIDE THEM. So I hopped on a fucking DINOSAUR, traveled back to the present, and stomped the shit out of robot zombies. Did you just read that sentence? Did you really? I FUCKING TRAVELED THROUGH TIME AND JUMPED ON A DINOSAUR AND USED IT TO KILL MOTHERFUCKING ROBOT ZOMBIES. This game is unbelievable. Impossible. There's nothing you can't do.

Holy fucking shit.

Oh... there's more

The entire read is awesome, but do yourself a favor and read bulletpoint #2 with the shark battle. The final paragraph is all kinds of incredible.

ggg.g..g.g I WANT THIS GAME!!!

This is the first time since I got my DS that I've actually been really fucking excited about a game for it.

It just seems like you could spend hours and hours and hours just screwing around with shit in it. That, and there are 220 levels, and it sounds like you can create your own levels?

man i am SO excited for Scribblenauts. i'm a huge DS fan and it seems like it's going to be the best game ever, or at least the ultimate sandbox game. in one article, one guy was saying how they had finished the game and they're just putting in more objects. he said that they put in pretty much every dinosaur a normal person would know and that now they were working on the type of dinosaurs that paleontologists might not even know. and haha, they have CTHULU. duuude i can't wait for this game

semper games.

Yeah, I know, I seriously expected the guys to be something like
"Okay, we finished the ENTIRE ENGINE and gameplay, all we can do is add more things.
Let's have another six months of object adding."
