  1. There aren't more games like this because people would actually have to take alot of time to think out fun and innovative situations.

    I will be one of the first people in line to buy ICO's sequel. But how many other people are going to shell out the cash for game with 'Wanda' in the title? About as many who bought ICO, which is to say not many.

    ...in closing, buy ICO, its what your looking for.


  2. The problem is, you'd want arcade games that already exist, so you'd have to pay quite a few companies to put together something really massive.

    Unless you wanted to make your own, which would be hit or miss and overly difficult.

    So I don't think a small team could feasibly get everything together to make a game like this. But I think a company like Treasure (Ikaruga, Bangai-O etc.) could really do something spectacular with this concept, and they just might be crazy enough to try it too.


  3. Ha Ha! I found it! Incredible crisis.

    Sadly, I've never actually played this game. But I think I will now...I've seen it iin some bargain bins, and it actually looks kind of fun (you can't really tell from these screens cause I just got the ones with the salaryman screaming).


  4. And manny, I'm in love with your av. Can I be friends with it?

    Most certainly.

    And I have to say that the art direction in that adventure is quite nice. It reminds me a bit of The Triplets of Bellville. I'm guessing it will have an english version, since the website is in english, lets just hope its translated by different people. The opening line in the description reads as follows:"Boyz Don't Cry" is an extraordinary . :erm:

    Lets just hope the game includes absolutely no German rap.

    EDIT: Looks like it borrowed something else from Triplets....

  5. It'll probably end up being a MMOG where everyone just goes to the arcade for 5 hours while waiting for the next event.

    But that would be kind of cool, wouldn't it? A MMO game with your persona going around the a huge city's arcades and playing all of sega's classics in tournaments or what not. I guess it wouldn't stand on it own, it'd need a moniker to trick the person buiyng the game.... :shifty:


  6. The game's style is just completely wrong...if it tried to be more like Tarintino, or more like hong Kong action cinema it would've been much better. But instead it was just a GTA rip off with painful hip-hop additives and a bland mixture of gameplay. Seems the directors of the game had no real vision when making the game.


  7. Holy shit! They have game designers at maxis? :grin:

    No just kidding, but as much as I like maxis, I think it'd be a constricting place to work as a designer...you basically have the Sims or Sim City, and even they're starting to merge together. I'm sure they've got something brewing over there though...the next Sim Something, and it could be absolutely crazy for all I know.

    Anyway, I was also pretty suprised that the game was only going to be $20. But they're doing next nothing for localization, they're even keeping the magnificent box art:

    I can't wait!


  8. A game completely about rolling trash balls. You start off small, pushing the ball over things like tacks and pencils and you escalate to the size of a small island....all in one level. Its been getting rave reviews and is said to have an amazing sound track.

    Start with rodents

    :yep:

    And its coming out in 2 weeks for $20! Whats not to lose!?? I love games that no one has the balls to make except the Japanese salary man who's zonked out of his mind from stress!


  9. The best part is that they were watching regular hollywood films and what not... in there swastika decorated cavern.
