Horstachio

1) Apparently, Hulk is going to be in the Iron Man game (which made very special 2008 list) and vice versa. Also, word is that Edge of Reality has a fallen behind on work on The Incredible Hulk game and alarming amounts of crunching are occurring (when I checked statcounter on Sunday, the Edge of Reality network was under the list of ISPs that had visited, quite disconcerting). We really need to work to diminish the omnipresence of constant crunch in development of movie games, development analogous to that of the film could do wonders. The first glimpse at the game will come within this month.
2) Viva Piñata Dos antes de la final de la decada, posiblemente incluso este año.
3) Turns out ShellShock 2 is a survival horror title, which does explain the zombies. Also, it is now a FPS.

The Bad Plus are amazing, if you have the chance to check them out live, you should definitely go. Dave King drums like...well...no one else I have seen (as evidenced at 1:55 and beyond the video below, the other three videos feature less drum solos).



UPDATE: Apesadumbrado sobre la omisión de tildes.

Thanks.

Viva Pinata Dos antes de la final de la decada, posiblemente incluso este ano

Viva Piñata ,dos antes del final de la decada ,posiblemente este año.

Cheers surfergirl , keep it up.

Hopefully ShellShock 2 being survival horror makes it more than subpar (KZ1 was the mediocre one).

Hi surfer girl!

1)Recently you mentioned that Nintendo is considering a HDD for Wii.Can you tell us more?Is it going to be a first-party HDD?Can you tell us or estimate how many gigs of memory it 'll contain?Can we expect an announcement at E3 2008?
2)Some rumours suggest that the new Zelda spin-off from Retro is actually a FPS and is a remake of the first Zelda from the NES.Does this hold any truth?
3)Finally,some people talk about a Metal Gear game for Wii without the word 'Solid' on the title that actually belongs in the Ghost/Babel universe.Is it true?

Thank you very much!

1. Crysis "1.5" PS3/360? Would use CryEngine 2 or the FarCry 2 engine?

2. Seen Fallout 3 running on consoles yet? If so, smoother than console Oblivion?

3. Level-5, when they finally clear their schedule a bit, makes Rogue Galaxy 2 and/or Dark Cloud 3?

4. Dragon Quest IV/IX DS in America: DO WANT. AM EXCITE. Will they come?(before 2012)

5. If you were to get a breakfast platter at IHOP, would you discard the ham like I do? It ruins the meal.

6. Is Digital Devil Saga a dead franchise? Or is Atlus waiting on it?

7. Team Silent (if they even exist) planning on ever doing Silent Hill games themselves again? Or are they done, and have handed it off to westerners for good?

8. My voters registration was rejected, and Hillary won in my state yesterday. I'm pissed, a bit.

Hi Surfer Girl,
As a reviewer of Star Wars, what do you think of The Force Unleashed?

dunno said...

Hey hi!

U Know anything about Citizen Siege or Oddworld Inhabitants lately?

Thx!

Is it true about the reasonings behind Bully's shitty Xbox 360 port?

The fact that Mad Doc Software pumped it out to run on one core, so the 360's fans do not kick in, resulting in freeze ups, framerate loss, and system lockups? If so, Microsoft QA for the loss?

If false...what happened?

Whats Keiji Inafune working on lately?

Banana Kid said...

Regarding Viva Pinata 2: Thank you. You just made my year.

Now, we just need to wait on a sequel to Elite Beat Agents, and it'll be 2006 all over again.

That cats not a bad drummer, but he's no Buddy Rich.

durffen: It's terrible and it is for Wii. I heard there is a downloadable title, but I do not know anything about that. There's apparently a reinvention of Mega Man ala Bionic Commando coming. It exists. Yes.

anonymous one: Yes, fall.

fangelico: Yeah, sorry about that.

nick2409: I'm from the same coast I reside on.

anonymous two: 1) They are working on something. 2) About as real as the Easter bunny. 3) No, within the next forty days. 4) Yes. 5) They were, I don't know if they still are. 6) Spider-Man: Red Vs. Black, Call of Duty 5, Bond, new IP. 7) No announcements have been made for such. 8) Probably not.

anonymous three: 1) First-party, no clue, apparently. 2) They are working on a Zelda spin-off, but it is NOT a FPS. 3) Apparently.

alex: 1) CryEngine 2, Far Cry 2's engine Dunia is owned by Ubisoft. 2) No, but according to folks who have it is running far smoother than Oblivion. 3) Both will come eventually. 4) See above. 5) Ew. 6) Don't know. 7) Not at the moment, Konami is pretty thrilled with the job The Collective are doing with Silent Hill V.

anonymous four: 1) Yes. 2) Something like that.

rad: 7.2/10.

dunno: Yes, it won't disappoint. Franchises.

anonymous five: I don't know, sorry.

vydas: Indeed.
