PaletteSwappedNinja posted:It's worth pointing out that the Skyfall section of the game requires an online pass and won't be accessible to those who buy used, or so I'm told. Weird. Activision may be pretty evil, but they've never included online passes in any of their games. I'll rule bullshit on this until I see a confirmation.

I did a quick search and found plenty of confirmation that the Skyfall stuff isn't on the disc and will be released as post-launch DLC (to keep from spoiling the movie, ostensibly) but nothing about it being restricted to new copies, so yeah, it may just have been nerd hyperbole.

Rake Arms posted:Yeah, I'm stoked for this too, but I'm also a 007 nut. The graphics really aren't stellar, but whatever. From the looks of it, it's running on the same engine as Goldeneye 007: Reloaded, which was just an enhanced port of the original Wii engine, which itself was originally designed for Dead Space: Extraction. So yeah, it's basically running on Wii tech from 2009 with a few HD bells and whistles added. Just checked the dates and it's one of those vague "launch window" games  , guess it'll be something to look forward to after launch.

japtor posted:I'm a sucker for the old Goldeneye/Timesplitters gameplay style (plus a 007 fan) so if it plays anything like that I'll probably get it. Well I want remote aiming too cause I hate dual sticks in comparison, that's probably the main reason I haven't bothered with FPSs on 360 (along with not really caring for most of the ones that came out to begin with). Sadly I wouldn't look forward to it much at all. It might be a really great game but if it releases too close to launch it'll be totally occluded by the release of Blops 2. I'm also not crazy about paying full-price for a Wii upscale. extremebuff fucked around with this message at 15:01 on Sep 27, 2012 |

There were a lot of things that were much more than a simple HD upgrade. Like the Dance floor was actual models instead of sprites, the lighting in the game was much improved, etc. It really felt like they put some effort into improving it.

Bobnumerotres posted:Maybe I'm just a bond fanatic but count me the gently caress down for this if it has good multi on top of all the Bond goodness. I loved the Goldeneye remake on the Wii and this looks like that times a hundred. Visuals definitely need tweaking though it looks like a Wii game rendered at 1080. I remember reading reviews of the GoldenEye on the Wii... And it seemed like it was a pretty good game. But then almost everyone I know that has talked about the game hated the poo poo out of it and were like: "THEY RUUUUUUINED IT  "But I'm fairly certain that 100% of their reasoning is the fact that it is the new Bond rather than Pierce Brosnan. Never really heard any reasoning other than: "They ruined it" or "It's not supposed to be the new actor in Goldeneye! "That being said, I hope to play all FPS on console with something like the Wii Remote and nunchuck from now on. I hate dual analog so much. I played way too much FPS on PC for years before dual analog became a thing... I'm just too used to a mouse and can never quite feel the same or the same control with 2 sticks as when I have a mouse. Oh well. I wonder if we'll have several games trying to do FPS using aiming via the tablet... like you have to move it around to aim. I can see it being ok for sniping games but I feel otherwise it would be annoying and I wouldn't want it to be the main aiming mechanic.

Bobnumerotres posted:It doesn't matter how good a story is. A game is a game. The game and the story should be holding hands, be it seamless short real-time cutscenes (like in Half Life) or a story that you need to dig for yourself, and can choose to completely ignore (Demon/Dark souls, metroid prime). Some people like that stuff, though

The corny poo poo in MGS is generally hilarious and charming. What made MGS4's cutscenes unbearable was the fact that the dialogue scenes could have been reduced in length by over 50% just by shortening the awkward pauses between every line.

There's such a good game IN mgs4, I had way too much fun doing no kill/no alert runs and unlocking all the goofy gadgets for NG+ and such. quote:That being said, I hope to play all FPS on console with something like the Wii Remote and nunchuck from now on.

I loved Wii remote aiming in Goldeneye. It'd be so simple to just add kb+mouse support to consoles, but then that would ruin all the money companies make from selling controllers.

So surprise there's a Nintendo Direct for both NCL and NOA coming in 2 hours: https://twitter.com/stephentotilo/status/251480427351638016 They're getting dangerously close to announcing these after they actually happen.

quote:@RichIGN Assuming they even mention the Wii U, I don't expect for there to be very many new details. Maybe they will unveil a couple of third party launch window titles and briefly touch upon the Wii U's UI, at most. Edit: Given that this Nintendo Direct is 3DS centric, I wonder if they will talk about how Nintendo Network accounts will work on the 3DS.

They need to just make stuff up to get some nerd rage. I couldn't believe the hilarity that ensued over Bayonetta 2. They have to go all out. A two hour boring conference about how online works, then Hideo Kojima walks out and announces Metal Gear Solid 5, exclusively for Wii U.

Remember when Suda 51 said he wanted to make No More Heroes for Nintendo's next-gen platform? That loving needs to happen. You all know I'm a proponent of motion controls, but No More Heroes is one series where I felt they were utterly pointless (I think NMH2 even had CC support?). Now, I could see them pulling all kinds of entertaining hijinks with two screens.

At this point I just want to see Nintendo keep their strong indie game lineup for direct download building. And for them to get Journey on Wii U somehow so I can play it.

Basically one of the four horsemen, War, is set up for bringing about the end of the world early, so he goes around killing stuff and fighting demons to clear his name and try to restore things, stuff happens that they recap in Darksiders II. In Darksiders II you play as Death out to figure out what happened and hopefully clear his brother's name. That's pretty much all you need.
