I played both, and tbh Infamous was a much more polished game that Prototype, which was essentially Spider-Man: Web of Shadows with a new coat of paint over it.

FF7 fragrences (lol)

Also, I preffered Prototype too.

Never understood perfumes based on people. Do they really get it to 'smell' like people? What's the connection other than name?

Licensing money?

Unless the Sephiroth one smells of despair and evil.

HD Earthworm Jim coming to XBLA. Has 4plyr co-op for some reason. Somebody here will like that.

I totally smell like that naturally.

Overrated Kim Kardashian is in talks of portraying Lara Croft in the Tomb Raider reboot, which would shoot in (> post convert into) 3D because... ya know... it'll be as good Avatar then. Totally.

For some reason that sounds like the most awesome thing I've ever heard.

GIVE ME POINTS.

I think it has it's own thread somewhere. Anyway, don't get too excited about the game. It's the 1st game but with slightly improved spirites and a god awful VA for Jim.

He doesn't sound right when it's not Dan Castellaneta. I thought it was going to be a new game, not just a rerelease of the first one.

Dan's portrayal from the (actually excellent) cartoon was awesome, Hell the cartoon elevated the brand for me (didn't care much more the games).

I liked the cartoon but I have only ever played the N64 EWJ game. Never played the ones from the SEGA.

Ouch. I feel for you.

Yeah, it wasn't exactly golden.

I'd think they'd continue the open-world model that was so well received.

What is a good thing that is 600 points on the virtual console/Wii Ware. Ninja Gaiden Arcade looks pretty good, somebody said that arcade game was awesome.

Yeah, the arcade is even better than the NES.

Dunno though, not been on the Wii Shop for ages. Are Neo Geo games 600 points or less?

The arcade was rarely ported to home consoles, the NG series we know on the NES was a different game.

I have little knowledge on what's available on Wii's arcade shop.

BDC has a Wii. :shifty:

And the fangirls get hot and bothered.

Come on now, we don't say that for terrible games based on anime http://www.tpww.net/forums/images/icons/icon10.gif

I would laugh if it's Half-Life 0 or something instead of 2ep3, just for the reaction.

I respect Valve, calm down.

Assuming its true, Activision is in the process of releasing a GoldenEye game on the Wii and DS.

Its not based on the N64 game or using the Brosnan version of the Bond character but at the same time not based on the horrible E.A. version of Goldeneye either.

I started Final Fantasy 8 like 6 months ago. I just started playing it again since it's one of the few games that I left unfinished. It really sucks dick. I hate it. I am only 6 hours in. In this fucking town called Timber. Had to look on a fucking strategy guide to go down some path in the town that is supposed to be obvious but I couldn't find after wandering around for 30 minutes. Fucking hate this game.

"Hey let's bite the name like EA did! Awesome idea!"

The point to infamous was to show how boring a superhero would be if his powers were pathetic. :shifty:

Infamous was nice and shiny, but otherwise....

Fixed that for ya.

Platinum Games and Shinji Mikami. Nuff said, bitches.

I can live with updated characters, as it's understandable. Licensing is a bitch. But if this is truly a remake and not a "use the name for potential profit", nothing else needs to be fucked with.

Add but take nothing away, damnit. I'm fine with the singleplayer story being different or not even the same, but at least keep the multiplayer maps the same.

Love to know how Rare feels about this, or how this even got this far.

I'm guessing it's because Acti owns the Bond license now that they can do pretty much whatever they want, so long as it involves the new Bond and such. Though I don't really get why it's a Nintendo exclusive. Shit would bank on all platforms.

And I'm more than pretty sure Rare are pissed. Isn't this something they almost did before, but got held up by licensing?

If they wanna make a FPS 007 game called GoldenEye they can actually do that legally, but this talk of retelling the cinematic story of GoldenEye (which I assumed was Rare's exclusive right even after all these years), and recreating the campaign/multiplayer maps is what confuses me.

I can't comment on the exact dealings between Rare, Nintendo, and MGM - but I can say Activision's straight-up biting a legacy they had nothing to do with. It's weak sauce even if they're allowed to do it, and pretty much a paycheck job so they can put their Bond license to use this year.

Or they could actually update a great game on a console starved of great 3rd party games and deliver something cool.

WHO KNOWS

I would think retelling the story would still fall under their license though, so i think that'd be fine. But yeah, as far as recreating the maps I'm not too sure.

And yeah no doubt Activision are pretty shitty for fucking with something that only Rare SHOULD have the right to do, but I'm sure Infinity Ward aren't too surprised. I'm hoping this turns out to be great, but still pretty shitty that the company that made the game possible catches shaft.

I'd be all for Rare rereleasing Goldeneye as a XBLA/PSN/Whatever the Wii has game minus the name, characters and a modified story.

Lance Storm once blogged, "People wanna be like celebrities, celebrities have no reason to act like people (in response to Shark Boy's old Stone Cold act)," so if Activision has shit else to do but bite somebody else's work, whatever. Rare knows what time it is. You didn't see Free Radical biting other people's work.

Lack of artistic integrity in the industry frustrates me.

Fuck off with the arcade Ninja Gaiden being better than the NES version.

I have no idea what that means.

Pretty graphics+Shite acting+Army of Two style...

:|

And seriously, who cares if San Fran goes under? Pick a less gay city, guys!

Well I bet my soul it will be better than Army of Two. Fucking Pikimin is better than Army of Two.

Fuck Army of Two. Slippery-ass aiming wtf?
