Well, at bare minimum, Wayforward's games almost always look good. The one thing they always do right is nice spritework. So why does this look like an atrocity?

Extreme recycling of animations and such, did you play their Bloodrayne title or Aliens: Infestation? Literally the blandest looking 2D games.

What's the general consensus on Pixeljunk Shooter 2? I've played it immediately after finishing Shooter. Shooter was a good game with some interesting problem-solving with the various fluids. I thought it lasted around the right amount of time, and I didn't think it was too short. Shooter 2 feels like a kick in the teeth compared to the first game.  It's as if Q Games went out of their way to get rid of anything enjoyable about the first Shooter. There are areas with this growing green mold. I have to spin the right stick to aim while shooting with R1 to clear a path, which gets uncomfortable after a bit. There's also acid giving you a limited amount of time to clean off before blowing up, survivors stuck on ceilings that I keep shooting accidentally because the previous game only had enemies on the ceilings, and these jellyfish enemies that move quickly around and can blow you up with one touch.Does this game get any better after the first episode or is it going to be even more tougher? Also, I want to say that Rochard is an excellent game that should be played by all.

The Bellator game was given a release date of July 4 (Wednesday, so XBLA) on the last Bellator show, so I would assume July 3 (or maybe 10) for PSN. From previews it looks a fair bit better than Supremacy MMA (same developer, and that's not exactly a high bar), but I really hope they've got a demo lined up.

Squirtle Squadee posted:Guerrilla is the only company I've seen that really tries to get their DLC out before their games lose popularity. Both Killzone 2 and 3 had a few months of success and a good number of map packs for their 15 minutes. Sony promoted the poo poo out of KZ3, but in the end, the game loses half its community within the first 3-4 months. I'm sure you can still find plenty of games, though. I hope that means there will be more multiplayer only versions of games. I wouldn't mind one of Uncharted 3, and maybe a few others.

Does anybody still play RE: Operation Raccoon City? I was excited for it when it was announced, but didn't play it because of bad reviews. I just picked it up at Gamestop's sale and have been enjoying it way more than its bad reputation should dictate. Would anybody wanna play co-op?

There were still people playing it in there a week or so ago. So, in Walking Dead Ep. 2 I am at the part where The cannibal woman is holding the other woman on the stairs. When I walk towards her she just shoots me and the only thing I can do is walk forward. Nothing will highlight on the screen at all. What am I doing wrong here?

Does anybody know what's going on with that Hell Yeah game from Sega? I think that's what it's called anyways, it's like some ridiculously hyper-violent version of Jazz Jackrabbit and it looks amazing, been wondering why it hasn't been on the PSN store yet since they've been showing trailers for it for quite a while now. Then again, still no Rock of Ages in the EU store

Watched the Giant Bomb Quicklook of LBP2 again (don't ask) and thought "hey, i should really get that" Looked at the stores here, they want NZ$50 ($40 US) for it. I can get a year of Playstation+ for $50. And it has LBP2 with it too. And they wonder why retail stores are dying.

Check out the Walking Dead thread or Google because there is a shitload of other people having the same problem. Anyhow, I decided to try out PS+. If I download a game and have to delete it for space down the road when it's no longer available, will Sony store that info so i can re-download it.

On the one hand saying that Wayfoward has not made a bad game is ridiculous. If you look at the wiki for them they've made loads of awful games. On the other hand Bloodrayne was fan-loving-tastic. Yechezkel posted:What's the general consensus on Pixeljunk Shooter 2? PJS2 is like the second half of the game where poo poo starts getting real. It's really hard but I found it really satisfying and cool. All the levels are annoying in their own way but they're also kinda neat. The first area is the worst the. The stomach acid thing was a pain. As for the other areas [spoiler]the second area is the bullet hell area and the last area uses light in neat ways but also has you swarmed with enemies if you can't stay in the light.[spoiler]. I loved PJS2 but it is hard as hell.

Yakuza 5 doesn't drop in Japan until the Holidays and that one is actually a new game rather than just the previous one with minor alterations.

Yeah I read somewhere it uses the Binary Domain engine meaning the game will be more action and less clunky battles. Yakuza 4 was weird as I noticed the game switched engines during different parts. When the game switched to batting for the Twisted pitch challenge it felt like the game dropped in resolution and went to 60fps. Would be nice to have some consistency throughout the game and I hope to god they make a better map system. By the way, was Binary Domain worth checking out?

Sony has officially bought Gaikai for $380 million. Gaikai are a cloud gaming service similar to OnLive. This opens up some interesting possibilities as to whether their technology could be used for full game trials on the PS+ service (why make people download gigabytes of data when they can try a game out via streaming?) or if we'll be seeing some form of cloud gaming integration with the PlayStation 4. The official press release is quoted below.Sony posted:Sony Computer Entertainment (SCE) today announced that it entered into a definitive agreement on June 30, 2012 (Japan Time) to acquire Gaikai Inc., the world’s leading interactive cloud-based gaming company, for approximately USD 380 million. Through the acquisition, SCE will establish a new cloud service, ensuring that it continues to provide users with truly innovative and immersive interactive entertainment experiences.

Yeah, it might just be a thing whose time has just not come. OnLive apparently works quite well if you have a good internet connection. The way I see it though, it may never make much sense for the consumer : computing power is getting cheaper. I can see it making sense for Sony and friends because it puts all the control on their side. Less chance you software gets hacked? No more datamining? Easier to catch cheaters? Yes, please! Edit: I guess piracy would be harder, too.

Yechezkel posted:What's the general consensus on Pixeljunk Shooter 2? I thought PJS2 had some fun new innovations but was hampered by the odd design choice for the boss fights. Mostly in the way that they go on for far too long and over too many parts and if you die at any point you're basically poo poo out of luck and have to start the whole fight over. I also agree that the Hunger suit is annoying to deal with but I'm pretty sure after the first episode you don't use it again for the rest of the game.

It's like six hours of firing assault rifles at generic bullet-sponge robots in austere (boring) environments and then a totally haphazard relationship meter slapped on top. Except the main character is so unlikable and groanworthy that you'll like every other character less the more you improve your relationship with them. Then there's like two hours of tired cutscenes with the most disposable of Japanese tropes.

Yeah it's a lot different of a game, and personally I loved it, but even if you hate the gameplay it's pretty worth it for the characters/story. Majima in a zombie apocalypse alone is worth the cost of admission.  e. Oh and the lag. I wish they'd fix the lag. :/
