It's not just the jumping issue, game is totally locking up now if any fireball collides with Rolento's knife. That won't be fixed for at least 2 weeks.

It's pretty hilarious.

Funky Fly 05-23-2012 03:12 PM

wow

Kalyx triaD 05-23-2012 03:48 PM

They fixed the jumping issue last week.

That set is godlike. Don't know if I'll bite, though...

The game also freezes when certain things interrupt other moves.

"going in more deeper".

Thankfully he took time off his English major to investigate further.

Fignuts 05-23-2012 05:24 PM

Damn it capcom. It's probably my favorite fighting game this gen but they've driven everyone on my friends list away with their bullshit. Going to have to check in with 2old2play.

Kalyx triaD 05-23-2012 05:50 PM

I'd be online more often with you and Khuntry but offline games dominate here (and now we have a Wii). SFxT is pretty big here, maybe the only fighting game that gets everybody involved competitively.

Trying to get online more often for SFxT, SoulCalibur V, and Battlefield 3.

Blitz 05-23-2012 06:39 PM

Probably should've checked this before I posted that set in the SFxT thread.

Anyways, didn't even know it was in development, but the Shadow of the Colossus film will be helmed by Josh Trank (Chronicle)

Ubisoft could be planning on making an Assassin's Creed MMO game based on rumors of their Ubisoft Massive studio currently working on a brand new next-gen MMO project.

The studio posted job offers looking for people with experience in making open-world MMO type games with a strong emphasis on player vs player combat.

While it wasn't explicitly stated to be related to an Assassin's Creed game, Ubisoft has mentioned in the past they want the series to be an annual one and are always looking at new ideas and ways to continue the series.

Is it just with Rolento?

Blitz 05-23-2012 09:00 PM

An Assassin's Creed MMO might be something that could finally get me interested in the genre.

So far, yes. But who knows what else slipped through.

Kalyx triaD 05-23-2012 11:28 PM

They finally have Thor's hammer for XB's Avatars. I'm very happy about that.

Fignuts 05-24-2012 12:18 AM

Honestly, if the glitch will stop people from picking Rolento, I'm all for it. If only there was a Raven glitch.

#BROKEN Hasney 05-24-2012 12:22 AM

Or get more people to pick Rolento so they can be "hilarious" trolls.

#BROKEN Hasney 05-24-2012 01:09 AM

38 Studios staff haven't been paid since May 1st and their health care ends today.

A few signs point to the game being released in October this year. Firstly, all GTA games seem to get released in October. GTA IV being the exception because of delays but it was originally scheduled for October.

As well as that, Bioshock Infinite was said to be pushed back to make way for GTA in October. Take Two (who own 2K games) wouldn't want to release two massively popular games in the same month, would they?

I chose to write about it on TPWW instead.

Newly revealed "odd" details regarding Activision's contract with Bungie were discovered as part of the larger contract leak which occurred recently.

Besides Easter Eggs which have to be revealed to Activision, Bungie is only allowed to target the T rating for their Destiny project and can't officially release any games that are not from the Destiny series until 2018.

Another odd revelation was a clause preventing Valve, Gearbox, or Epic Games from helping out in any way with the Destiny series be it as actual development help or distribution.

While Bungie owns the IP series, another clause actually limits their ownership until 2022 with only Activision determining when the games can be officially published and released. Once 2022 arrives, Bungie has the option to find a new publisher or publish the games themselves if they reject all attempts to extend the contract with Activision.

The biggest benefit for Bungie is full access of Activision's marketing power and the automatic promotion of the Destiny series to be seen as equal to the Call of Duty series in terms of funding for development and pre-release hype.

They laid off theirs and all of Big Hugh Games employee's yesterday. And if they do close down, which seems highly likely, the people of Rhode Island will basically own the rights to the Amular series until the state government sells it off.

#BROKEN Hasney 05-25-2012 04:44 PM

Bunch of employees at 38 studios thought the company had sold their homes, but have just been told that they're liable for the mortgages on them.

Wow, that;s fucked.

Based on recent patent leaks, Sony could be toying around with the idea of possible implementing a new advertising system which would automatically pause whatever game or service is being used in order for an ad to pop up and play on the screen.

The user would have no control over when the ads would appear nor any way to stop them until it finishes. The only warning will be another pop up warning the player their game will be interrupted soon for a paid advertisement to be shown.

Quote:

The patent, discovered by webforum NeoGAF, was filed back in July 2011 under the moniker "Advertisement Scheme for use with interactive content." This scheme will warn players that their game is about to be interrupted momentarily with paid content, such as Sony's example of a soda commercial, before gameplay stops for a quick commercial. Once it's over, gameplay resumes.

It will also be possible for players to "rewind" a portion of the interactive content after the commercial.
Sony did something similar with Wipeout HD but with the ad playing during a loading screen. The problem was the ad couldn't be cancelled and the race wouldn't start until the ad was done which basically extended the loading of the game every time a new race was done.

ClockShot 05-25-2012 07:32 PM

More fallout from the 38 Studios meltdown.

Employees who were laid off who sold their homes to the company so they can relocate from wherever to Rhode Island, got calls from their bank saying the house was still in their name and that the mortgage is due. There's talk that 38 Studios didn't buy the houses at all.

Laid off, you MAY have 2 houses in your name, and the mortgage is due. If this turns out to be true, I'll bet Schilling will be hit with one biiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiig lawsuit.

Kane Knight 05-25-2012 08:10 PM

SM, that's a pretty specific reading into the current situation on that patent.

Emperor Smeat 05-25-2012 08:30 PM

Most sources I use for the daily news seem to be implying towards that type of idea being used. Had to search if Sony ever tried something similar and it appears to be an expanded version of what was done with Wipeout HD.

The patent itself has the chart of what would occur if it was actually done as well.

Kane Knight 05-25-2012 08:41 PM

The patent is about all the concrete news there is. Saying "sony is considering" anything is rumour at best, and even that, it takes a LOT of liberty with it.

Kane Knight 05-25-2012 08:42 PM

And your own link, for example, mentions nothing of that.

RoXer 05-25-2012 09:09 PM

So what do you want from him?

RoXer 05-25-2012 09:10 PM

Do you want a retraction? A public flogging? Want me to ban him from the forum for a month?
