More info about the hinted-at new BK game that may compete with YL, pieced together mostly from sugar packets - despite the motion-controlled BK audience experience at SXSW that caused much gnashing of teeth and rending of garments, the Rare game that will be announced at E3 will most definitely not be motion controlled. Indeed, Microsoft, at long loving last, wants to move away from Rare being the Kinect Sports Company (TM), although it might be a little late for that, what with all the kids who have grown up knowing it as nothing but that.

Of course, if the game announced at E3 is a Battletoads game, Banjo-Kazooie's next game could still turn out to be a Kinectstrosity, which would mean that Yooka-Laylee has already won.

A Kickstarter game from many moons ago is nearing it's release version:

http://store.steampowered.com/app/269650/

If you're not familiar with it at all, Dex is 2D platformer RPG in the vein of Flashback: Quest for Identity [imagine somebody expanding on the part of Flashback where you're in the city trying to raise enough money for a ticket back to Earth]. Right now it's feature and content complete, with just some bug-fixing and other polish to go before it's completely finished. It's pretty engaging game, to be honest, though I am a sucker for all things cyberpunk.

Have you played it? Is it actually legitimately similar to Flashback? Because whenever an indie game says it's similar to Flashback it's never loving true.

Speaking as someone who never played the original Banjo games, honestly I like the character concepts of Yooka-Laylee better. To me Banjo always looked too goofy looking.

I called it.

There's no way they have any intention of making the new Banjo a kinect game. They've never made any kinect games with their existing IP, only made new ones for them, so these fears are pretty unfounded.

I have a feeling that they're going to announce TWO games, both a Banjo game and a Battletoads one.

Surely they're both going to be small downloadable games that will be quickly forgotten just as Killer Instinct was. Like I would play these games if I had an Xbox One but if Microsoft thinks this kind of stuff is going to win a lot of people over they're probably delusional.

If you think KI was forgotten you're the one who's delusional. It has a bustling competitive community and its roster size has doubled, the latest character being Cinder who was released a week or so ago. They pledged to support KI over the course of several seasons with new characters and content. Last week they announced that all digital sales would go towards a community fund for tournaments, with the goal being to reach $100,000, and they just announced yesterday that they already reached that goal. It has a $50K prize pool at Evo this year. It's not a "small" title in any way. Just because you aren't aware of the community doesn't mean it doesn't exist.

MS has been hyping up the return of Banjo and Battletoads for nearly two years now, they wouldn't do that for small downloadable titles.

I mean the amount of activity on that forum outside of the general discussions doesn't exactly strike me as bustling either. But okay, fine, there is a community at least, but that doesn't change the fact that Killer Instinct is a budget downloadable title. I can't see them putting out a new Battletoads game for more than $20 - and that doesn't mean it'll be a bad game, but in terms of scale it's never ever going to be a huge draw for that console.

So because it that's the most users it's had online, simultaneously, at one single point in time, that means... um, I'm not sure what you're trying to say, actually. But apparently a thousand users online all at once on a forum for a single game isn't actually a lot, by some poorly defined metric.

Yeah, except that's Shoryuken, which is a forum and news site for EVERY fighting game under the sun, that has existed for 15 years and is the producer of Evo, the biggest fighting game tournament series in the world.

Hello. I am Josh. I hate you all, I have a total and utter disdain for humanity, and I will find you and kill you in your sleep.

My talents include but are not limited to Flash animation, Tweaking out in a cold sweat, Video games, Battling with imaginary tentacle demons, and hating anime.

While on that topic, I'd just like to inform you that anime is the embodiment of all that is loathesome. It's something that Satan himself created, or rather pulled out of his rear end and tossed up to all the foolish mortals in the human realm. It got to one guy and it spread like a wildfire after a cow lit a fart, and it has been taking over the world, slowly, one dumbass at a time.

I managed to evade it's evil grasp. If you don't know what anime is, there's still a chance for you to be saved! However, if you are one of the vast marching hordes of idiots who actually liked anime, do humanity a favor and don't breed.

One day, the anime-pocalypse will come and it will spell doom for us all. When that time comes, I hope you morons realise that IT'S ALL YOUR FAULT, YOU STUPID FAGS.

RaNciDPsychOJosH: I am none of these people.
RaNciDPsychOJosH: I am a new voice.
RaNciDPsychOJosH: I am Josh Tejada.
RaNciDPsychOJosH: and one day people will say "You sound like Josh Tejada"
RaNciDPsychOJosH: or "You're good but you're no Josh Tejada".
Blaklyon Zero: Then show me your power
RaNciDPsychOJosH: You will see... just like everyone else.
RaNciDPsychOJosH: Everyone is blind.



Ahhh... here we are, my first oekaki ever. (Well, that's only half-true, I tried it twice before but it screwed up on me each time.)

This is my tiger catgirl character, Milchi. She has a tail and stuff that you can't see but... eh, it's a long story.

This is just her, vaporizing the Teen Titans tower with... atomic breath, a power she doesn't normally have (nor is she normally a giantess). I tried doing this once before but as I said, it screwed up. I drew this picture to reflect my utter hatred of the show Teen Titans, and all those piece of poo poo american animes just like it that are now all over the drat place... but mainly Teen Titans.

I'd like to be able to say that this took me only 10 minutes at the most to draw, but quite frankly, that would be a lie. If it were anything else, like my sketchbook or Flash MX I could've easily made this picture look infinitely better, but as I said this is my first real time using an oekaki. I drew this entirely with my left hand in PaintBBS and I probably should've used the other one, but as it stands I don't have a newfangled tablet doohickey like you kids are all playing with nowadays.

And yes, that's Cyborg she's crushing to powder in her hand. As much as I want to write out a detailed biography of her in this comment box, I must restrain myself...
