Because we seem to talk alot about video games, any kind of news of this matter should be discussed here. For many people, video games is our ultimate source of entertainment, for others, its a point of controversy to a sedentary lifestyle. For me, its the former because I like to balance out real life with the virtual kind so its easy for me to not gain weight.

Anyways, if you find any kind of newsworthy info, just post it here.

On a first note, for all you Halo fans out there, it will be a good year, as Halo Combat Evolved Anniversary had been announced. At the same time, 343 Industries reported Halo 4 as well.

For Nintendo Lovers, the new console, the Wii U, has only displayed their controller that can play games without the use of the TV should somebody want to watch it while you want to play. At first I thought it meant a portable Wii tablet system, but its just a way for players to enjoy their games without being hindered by the limitations of the television set.

Really talking my language now, I'm a hardcore gamer

Seen the Trailer to Halo 4 and it looks good, going to be interesting to see if 343 studios can match up at all to bungie.

Halo: Combat Evolved anniversary is essentially a re-mastering of original halo with vastly improved graphics, and either new content or previously cut content, but it still is going to be worth getting.

Mass Effect 3 already has it's own thread but still in the list for me since it's game i'm most anticipating.

The Elder Scrolls 5: Skyrim is going to be epic since bethesda is going for broke by creating a new engine to run the game, so far graphics look vastly improved over oblivion, can finally dual wield weapons, monsters behave more individually of their type (such as a wolf circling player in gameplay video) combat is improved including running backwards is slower than it used to be to make it a little more challenging, and of course the biggest thing would have to be the Dragons.

Final Fantasy XIII-2 of course, hopefully answering some of the question left unanswered at the end of 1st game.

although i never really got into them to much, the new Tomb Raider game actually has caught my eye, made by crystal dynamics and square enix they have re made the games focusing more on the gritty side of survival, not the over glamorized method the original games used, such as fall into pool of water deep in the jungle and it's perfectly clean.

They still are Xivk....they still are.

Resident Evil Operation Racoon City looks quite promising. Zombies, mutants AND U.S. Special Forces shall be trying to kill you in the game, be it story mode or Multiplayer (Multiplayer, wewt!) and so far, a release date is to be expected by Winter.

Two more things that loom promising and are also coming out soon are...

Ace Combat: Assault Horizon
For starters, it isn't numbered, you aren't just gonna be doing some recon/dogfights/bomb runs on enemy troops below. No, you get all of that, plus what it seems to be total warfare. Be it dropping Cluster Bombs or using a Rocket Launcher to blast god knows what, you are also going to be in an AC-130 and more. So far, the thought of copying Call of Duty comes to mind, also seen in the latest teaser, as they show a pilot(?) wearing a skull cap that looks incredibly similar to one worn by Ghost in MW2.

Street Fighter Vs. Tekken
For those who actually have some knowledge of fighting games or simply like one of these two (or both...), this game is a must have. I mean, who doesn't wanna see Ryu squaring off with Devil Jin, or Ken vs Bryan? Tge game tittle tells it all. Recently announced though, so there isn't much known about it yet.....

Well, I'm looking forward to Prototype 2. <3 I don't care how badass Heller looks, Mercer will always be my fav. love

Secondly, Minecraft for the 360.... fuck.... yeah.

Lastly, Sniper: Ghost Warrior 2....... *has an orgasm* I swear, I will get that game the moment it comes out. Neutral

Man, I was hoping Square Enix would have announced Final Fantasy Tactics Advance 3.

I am so far. I'm so far the designated character class creator. Its not as easy as it sounds. The classes have to match the race's attributes, as well as the ability to be shared by either one or multiple races. So far as I know, 2 more races are being added, added in our version, so I have to take those into account here shortly.

I am tempted to ask for more.......but I won't for now.

Royal Member of BonBon Joined: 29 May 2009 Posts: 6010

By all means, ask. Its no secret that we are making it. In fact we are trying to spread the words so that more artists and programmers way enter our ring of assorted members.

Rank: Super Veteran Joined: 18 Dec 2009 Posts: 7678

Well, I refrain from asking because I will then get the serious urge to pull out my Tactic games and go kill some stuff. Besides, I'm no programmer, nor do I know not even the basics of such, seeing as what little experience I have was fiddling with MUGEN and only managing to accomplish something small with the sprite and such.

Royal Member of BonBon Joined: 29 May 2009 Posts: 6010

Well, we are definately looking for spriters too.

Best I can do is wish you luck Rune.

((Alice: Madness Returns is coming out next week. Tuesday to be exact.

Also, NIS is planning a 4th Disgaea game, as well as "Prinny 2".

JAST-USA has "My Girlfriend is the President" coming shortly, and has liscenced the rights to translate/import "Yukkuri Panic". And, yes, I'm assuming you all already know what dating sims and bishoujo games are.

Batman: Arkham City is slated for "Fall 2011" release.

The X-COM reboot (for those of you who remember the old-school PC X-com) is slated for "Late 1st Quarter 2012"

So... those are the ones I've found info on. ))

Royal Member of BonBon Joined: 29 May 2009 Posts: 6010

I've barely completed Disgaea 2, and I only tried out Disgaea 3. Maybe I have a reason now to purchase a PS3.

Rank: Super Veteran Joined: 18 Dec 2009 Posts: 7678

Yes! We are going back to the Netherworld!!!!!

....now I just need to start flinging prinnies again and all is good.....

Royal Member of BonBon Joined: 29 May 2009 Posts: 6010

There is only one queen I recognize in the Nether world and that is Etna. She is an awesome character, Cool, sexy, funny, and she is in all the games as far as I know.

I never met the Princess, but Rasp is a little bit of an annoyance. Cute but that is all she has going for her. Like one of those classy types that is really uptight.

Somehow, nearly every female in the video game has some kind of fault with them.

Rank: Super Veteran Joined: 18 Dec 2009 Posts: 7678

Royal Member of BonBon Joined: 29 May 2009 Posts: 6010

Well, here is a list of all the ones I can think of:

Etna- Flat chested with an attitude. Ruthless, and very unforgiving to the prinnies or those who are devoted underlings.

Flonne- Busty demoness with a flowery attitude. She is naive and overly trusting to her superiors of the once powerful angelic overseers.

Jennifer- Beautiful woman who is one of Cpt. Gordon's sidekicks. That is bad enough lol.

Rozalin- Beautiful princess with an attitude to her ego. Very naive to the dark netherworld around her.

Yuukimari- Zam.

((Um... aren't we sidetracking here?

Anyway, did we just want to limit NIS games to the disgaea series, or any NIS tactical-strategy game... I mean you also have La Pucelle: Tactics, Makai Kingdom: Chronicles of the Sacred Tome, and Phantom Brave as well, just to name three.

OH! BTW Rune174, Flonne is also flat chested. In Disgaea, Jennifer is the only girl-plot-character with boobage. I think Prier is also flat chested too. And Jennifer's negative trait isn't so much she is Gordon's sidekick... but that her dad is trying to invade the Netherworld to save an overpopulating Earth.

Anyway, I like Raspberyl. She's grown on me. And she can turn into a sword. A sword! Which Mao can use. I think the pair of them are the only two members I have in the Magictology Club. OH! And don't forget Raspberyl's two lackies, Kyoko and Asuka. And sometimes you get to work with Salvatore too. She's pretty well stacked.

Anyway, I do think we're sidetracking... as it seems, to me, that this thread is suppossed to be an "upcoming game rumor" thread.))

Yes, we are sidetracking but....hey! It's Disgaea we're talking about here!

Yeah, Caroline beat me to it. Flonne is also quite the flat one. And as fr Jennifer? It is simply hilarious as to how Etna, Flonne and Laharl begin to imagine her to become when she gets kidnapped and the others are told that she will be 'experimented' on. Not to mention she knows Kung-fucking-Fu!

Ahh, the lackeys....A crochet is all it takes to know that this might be funny. Then there's Salvatore whom is creepy of her own accord, yet absolutely badass. I mean...Russian? Guns? Witty tongue? That's all most need to know.

La Pucelle, La Pucelle..... Yggdra Union comes to mind with their chibiness and murdering each other like only a chibi could.

___________

......there shall be more sidetracking. But before that happens, some game news! MGS5 Rising seems to have made some of their info known.

Raiden is their star! The blonde fag with a katana shall be jumping around lime a badass Gaiden, slicing machine and limb alike, change the old Tactical-Espinage-Action, for Lightning-Fast-Action. It may change how MGS looks like, big time. That is for the fans to decide however.....

Then there's MGS3D, for the 3DS. The game was good on the PS2 alone, but this? It's best to see it for one's self.
