After all, Frank is infected, which means every 24 hours, he'll need a dose of Zombrex to avoid a fate involving shuffling around, looking for people to eat.

It's not DLC?

Dead Rising 2: Off the Record is a full featured, full length retail release. Unlike the prequel Dead Rising 2: Case Zero or sequel Dead Rising 2: Case West, Off the Record will not be available as DLC.

What's returning?

The framework of events for Off the Record seems largely the same - a bizarre conspiracy is unfolding in Fortune City, setting free its zombie horde and trapping a group of citizen survivors in the city until help can arrive in 72 hours. Of course, not everything is the same. There are new areas of the Fortune City complex to explore, including new Psychos and new events, while most if not all of the old Psychos remain in the game. Also returning: combo weapons. There will also be new combo weapons available to Frank, though Capcom is mum on what those will be.

What's new?

While it's not new, Dead Rising 2: Off the Record does feature the return of the camera mechanic from Dead Rising, with improvements. For example, this time Frank is sporting a digital camera - no more searching for film. Frank will want to capture key plot moments to help expose the Fortune City conspiracy.

Where's Chuck?

Chuck is still in Fortune Ciy, though we don't know his whereabouts. However, Capcom has confirmed that partners in co-op will play Chuck to the main player's Frank.
$49.99 price tag for a "what if" game is major bullshit. I'll still get it because I love and support the Dead Rising series, but fuck that price for a game that SHOULD be DLC.

I never got DR2 so I might actually get this one. Case Zero was cool but I'll take Franks photography over Chucks DIY any day. I just find it more enjoyable.

"Multiple sources" are talking about a Wii that's more powerful than eveyrthing out right now to be announced at E3.

I'll belive it when I see it.

I don't know... it just doesn't seem like Nintendo's style to out class people on a technical trip. It wouldn't be the first time, but they've spent many years telling us how that wasn't their bag anymore. So these rumors are highly suspect - but rarely have I seen such unified reports on rumblings.

I expected this year's E3 to be a safe, fan-friendly event. Did not expect this. And certainly not from Nintendo.

If the rumored predictions are true, then the next generation would end up as Nintendo in 2012, Microsoft in 2013, and Sony 2014 but could be forced to 2013 release.

It is also possible Nintendo could be using their new disc format for the Wii 2 since they are a member of a disc group (forgot the name of the disc). Also since they are carrying over DSi games to the 3DS, it shouldn't be hard for them to carry Wii VC and Wiiware to the next Wii system.

Exactly what I was thinking, new console or peripheral rumors come out all the time and usually lead to nothing. But these "rumors" are coming from everywhere

More powerful than what's out now is not necessarily more powerful than what MS and Sony are going to put out next. Even if they just matched what's out now, they could go to town with the possibilities.

According to Bioware, one of the reasons Mass Effect became a series was due to the studio's decision to drop development on Jade Empire 2 and go with a new RPG-style series influenced by Star Wars Knights of the Republic.

When Jade Empire was released on the original Xbox, it was met with great reviews and customer support but a lack of sales hurt the chances of a sequel. The success of Star Wars Knights of the Republic made Bioware switch focus from a potential Jade Empire 2 to a new IP which later became Mass Effect.

Since Star Wars KotR ended up becoming very popular with its sci-fi setting and shooting segments, Bioware decided to use that game as the template when designing Mass Effect 1 and the ME series.

If the game was meant to have been completed, original plans were for a release on a trio of platforms (PC, Xbox 360, PS3) instead of just one. The first game was released on the PC but only 2 years after the Xbox game and by then too late to help since Mass Effect 1 was in development.

Kinect owners across the country can now use their hands to control Netflix thanks to the latest update from Microsoft. By using hand or voice commands, you're able to browse through your library.


Don't put down that controller yet. If you actually want to play a movie, you're still required to enter that command from an Xbox 360 controller.

The folks at Joystiq gave Microsoft a call for some clarification on this and it turns out that while you can play "recommended films" through a special Kinect dashboard, anything in your normal queue is a no go.

Theres no way Nintendo could put out hardware that wasn't more powerful than the other two current consoles are now and then have it get blasted into uselessness in a year or so by whatever Sony and Microsoft come up with for their next consoles. A "Wii but in HD" will fail miserably.

More rumors concerning the upcoming Wii 2 involves a leaked early spec sheet, the project being named "Project Cafe", and the controller being compared to an iPad with buttons.

Rumored feedback from developers and insider sources who heard or seen the controller have them ranging from being completely amazed to believing it could end up as one of the best things ever created for video games. Also rumored was as weird and advanced the controller sounds, Nintendo will keep the costs low to fit their current affordability model.

Quote:
The controller itself is said to include a 6" single touch screen, d-pad, "L and R," two triggers, and "others." The functionality of the Wii's sensor bar has now been integrated into the controller, which would mean that you'd just use your controller as a sensor bar for Wiimote gameplay. It would a sport a front facing camera.

Also, because it's Nintendo we're talking about here, the cost of this controller is said to be "modest" and we shouldn't expect iPad levels of power or performance here. They call it an "iPad with buttons" for lack of a better term. 01net's source also elaborated on the hardware specs of the console itself.
Also rumored was the 3DS could actually be a substitute controller for the new system in a similar way of how Wii games allow different controllers to be used.

I imagine the touch screen portion will allow you to design your face buttons in some fashion. Otherwise it sounds closer to the PS3/360 controllers which is cool.

More interested in the online features.

Touch screen controllers sounds like a terrible idea.

Also, if Aaron Rodgers makes the Madden cover I hope he does his Title Belt pose..

I wonder how much a spare/replacement controller will cost if its got a touchscreen? At 6 inches its smaller than an iPad but bigger than most touchscreen phones..Id assume it would have to be about as powerful as a generic touchscreen phone but i probably wouldnt need all the bells and whistles..but still probably would be $100 at least, if not more?

Not to mention battery life.

The damn thing better at least have some haptic feedback.

Yes Nintendo will release 100$ controllers. This is very evident by reality, yes.

I actually agree about the feedback, but Nintendo's one of those guys who can announce something absurd and watch you buy it the year after.

I'm betting there will be at least three controller options anyway - much like the Wiimote and Classic Pro controllers.

Droford, sometimes man...

The Wii is a Gamecube with motion controls. Most of the stuff for it is shovelware crap. However, there are some fantastic games for it. The system has sold more than 360 and more than PS3. Both of those consoles are several times more powerful than the Wii.

It's stands to reason that a Wii with PS3 levels of power and a multifunctional controller could be used for so much more than the Wii already is, and would sell quite well as it would allow for more hardcore gamer type games while still catering to that massive casual market they've cornered.

One of Rockstar's previous cancelled projects involved making a spiritual sequel to The Warriors game but this time set in the UK during the 1960s Mods vs Rockers gang warfare era.

The idea was even though they only had the license for the first Warriors game, Rockstar was considering making this into a new series which would have kept the idea of the Warriors film but involve more gangs and locations similar to how their GTA series was set up.

The biggest reason why Rockstar shelved those plans involved the switch from the PS2 era to the Xbox 360 era for consoles which would have required most of the current project and engine to be scrapped in favor of an all new engine and HD assets.

Around the same time, Rockstar too busy creating the Euphoria engine and didn't have the time nor manpower to create another engine just for the Warriors sequel.

Capcom's European branch hints that Capcom's future plans might include something similar to what Activision does but not as badly in the long run.

The plan is for Resident Evil and Street Fighter to form the basis of their yearly portfolio with new games and IPs sprinkled in. The biggest differences between this plan and Activision's is Capcom will not suddenly make every year have a SF and a RE game.

Quote:
According to CVG, he said “The strategy going forward is for [Resident Evil and Street Fighter] to form the basis of the portfolio. We’re not saying it’s going to be all Street Fighter and Resident Evil forever. There will be new projects, but they will be shot through with Capcom’s quality NDA and subjected to a very rigorous green light process… there will be at least one more original title from us that will come out next year.”

Except it's not going to be PS3-level technology (and the specs that are rumoured are heavily dated), and part of the appeal to the casual market was the simplicity of the Wiimote in the first place.

The tardcore probably won't want it when compared to whatever Microsoft and Sony have to offer in a couple years, and they risk alienating the soccer moms who bought the shit out of the Wii.

That being said, they probably won't, but it's a little absurd to assume the best of both worlds.

That being said, the rumour's believability mostly hinges on whether you buy them manufacturing an affordable 6" HD touchscreen with all the bells and whistles.

And while I'm not going to say it's impossible, remember "insiders" leaked bullshit specs on the Revolution/Wii, and Nintendo totally blew smoke up our asses back when they were hyping "project Dolphin's" power. Actually, they kinda lied about Wii and N64's power, too.

Touch screens themselves aren't all that expensive. In fact, they're not expensive at all. It's devices that have touch screens that cost a lot. That's not a factor at all.

Doesn't seem all that difficult to me to take a Wiimote and a scaled down DS (without the top screen) and fuse them into a single controller that can be used several ways. Still simple (how hard is it to use a touch screen on what would presumably just be a new Wiimote?), with new funtionality. Trivia game buzzers, radar for FPS games, extra options for super in depth RPGs, virtual pets, individual minigames the possibilities are endless.

I didn't say they'd take back the hardcore market, just that they could allow for more games of that ilk.

And yeah, it's all speculation at this point, but I'm just saying that if that's the case, this is what they could potentially do. A man can dream, can't he?

The beta controller has been described in a rumor as something similar to a Gamecube controller in shape but with the functionality of a Wiimote with Nunchuck, the Dreamcast's screen, and a layout similar to an iPad/iTouch but with actual buttons.

And even the most stripped down of those devices with a high def touch screen tends to cost, so that's kind of a moot point. Though you just reached Fignuts level bullshit, but still.

And if we're talking inclusive functionality, one of the reasons 1:1 controls weren't possible with the Wiimote is the tech was too expensive. As it is, it still boosts the user price up 20 bucks, so unless they want to abandon functionality or take a hit on hardware, taking Wiimote functionality on top of an HD touch screen will have cost issues. Yeah, WMP is cheaper now, but it's still relatively expensive, and last I knew profit margins were slim.

So basically, Nintendo's going to take a hit for your fanboy ass? Nah. But if you want to be mad ridiculous, go for it.

If there is somehow going to be a screen on the controller, it better be rechargeable. That got a bit stupid with the DC's VMU.
