Yeah, not a big deal, as long as the party is hella rounded and you still get class options. I'm assuming racial benefits go the wayside for massive gameplay improvements and voicework during the narrative for your main character.

Should make cosplay easier.

And if you pre-order Sonic Colors (Wii), you can rock it at the next convention.

It appears IGN has vanished from the internets.

Halo Reach achievement icons leaked. Nothing really special since its mostly the usual icons for beating a level or certain events in multi or single player.

That would go in the Reach thread but tomato tomahto.

Curt Schilling's 38 Studios company might open a branch in Rhode Island if the $75 million loan deal passes.

38 Studios has 2 studios right now in Massachusetts and Maryland (Maryland was original spot and Mass. was added when Schilling bought the company).

I believe they are currently working on an RPG and Electronic Arts as the publisher/distributor.

Getting Arkham Asylum tomorrow, finally. :cool:

16 hours? That's more then enough to beat it. Unless you're doing the Seraphic Gate stuff after you beat it.

Gamestop having a Buy 2 Get 1 Free sale only for used games from July 15-17.

A mix of third-person gunplay, hand-to-hand combat and the driving action we usually associate with Project Gotham and Blur developers Bizarre, Blood Stone will employ key members behind the long-running series.

Daniel Craig takes the lead – bringing with him the gruff physicality introduced in Casino Royale – and he's joined by Judi Dench and Devon's own Joss Stone. Stone will also be providing the soundtrack, with an original song penned by her and the Eurythmics Dave Stewart called 'I'll Take it All'.

Multiplayer will also feature, with various modes supporting up to 16 players and pitching spies against mercenaries.

Long live Bond.

Super Mario Galaxy 2 sold a million copies. Long live Mario.

I'm little confused as to what it actually means. Do we get to play as those characters or is it just their abilities we can find and use? More info at Comic-con.

Khuntry's gonna love this, I know that much.

Think it was posted before, but that video was taken down before I could see it

Is that Mega Man Universe thing an MMO?

Possibly. Yes. Maybe.

How an Achievement is born on Xbox 360:

I don't understand what this megaman thing even is.

I'm guessing it's something for the 3DS. Using the camera

It's a downloadable game for XBLA and PSN. It's probably just going to be some kind of Megaman based cross over game. The trailer shows Bionic Commandos arcade cabinet and it has Captain Commando painted on the kids wall.

It would be a cool novelty if you unlocked characters freely by using kinect or the PS3s motion camera to scan in Capcom products. Scan in SFIVs box and get Ryu, SSFIV for Ken, scan in RE5s box to get Chris etc. Scan in older games like the original Megaman box to get the guy off the boxart we see at the end of the trailer. I guess if you didn't have kinect or something you could buy them as cheap DLC.
It would be a cool novelty but impractical, I guess.

Edit: Just saw this over at Capcom Europe:

Mega Man Universe, the latest entry in Capcom’s long-running Mega Man™ series, will be a revolutionary take on the seminal classic, setting course for a new chapter in classic gaming.
Mega Man games are beloved by fans all over the world. Since their debut in 1987, Mega Man has remained a videogame icon, having starred in more than 140 titles over the last 22 years. The connection he’s made with pop culture at large has extended beyond games and into cartoons, toys, clothing, comics, kid’s meals, and more. Part of that popularity is driven by the series’ ability to evolve over time yet consistently retain the addictive gameplay experience that sets Mega Man games apart.

For the next chapter in this legacy of excellence, Capcom aims to deliver the most creative Mega Man experience yet. In Mega Man Universe, imagination is the star of the game.

“We are thrilled to finally be able to announce Mega Man Universe,” said Kenji Inafune, Head of Research and Development Management for Capcom Entertainment. “This game will break the mold and challenge the conventional wisdom of what a Mega Man game can be. When fans finally get to see it, I believe they’ll envision their most far-out Mega Man dreams coming true.”

Inafune is committed to helping craft a Mega Manexperience that meets the highest expectations of Capcom fans. Most recently Mega Man™ 10echoed this fact when its classic design and compelling gameplay made it one of the most sought after digital downloads of the year. Gamers can expect Mega Man Universeto bring the core experience fans want while delivering on the promise of innovation that Capcom is known for. Its official: classic gaming will never be same again.

Find out more about MMU and lots of other new announcements @ the Capcom Europe Blog next week when we send Fonix out to Comicon in San Diego….

Imagination? Maybe we have to mix and match different Capcom characters body parts or something.

Edit: Forgot the source.

Capcom Unity's post on the new game mentions Ryu and Authur. Wait, what?!

Also, the Megaman Universe is for PSN and XBLA

The Ryu and Arthur characters is for the new Megaman game since Megaman appears to be a Mr Potato Head type in the new game with all the parts switching.

Some people in the comments section at ScrewAttack suggested it might be sort of like Little Big Planet with Megaman. Design your own levels and customise Megaman to look like Ryu etc.

Kids would dig it maybe.

Halo 3 ODST shouldn't really count since the majority of multiplayer comes from the Halo 3 multiplayer disc.

Not shocked at CoD 4 on the list since there was a spike in playing ever since people started to dislike the changes in the sequel and went back to CoD 4.

Other than that the list is almost entirely of shooting games with a couple of sports games (included Forza as a sports game for racing).

ODST has a seperate disk for Multiplayer, just acts as halo 3

It's not just multiplayer either, just games played while connected to Live. Hence Fallout 3.
