I can now start to hope again for a Bayonetta sequel

I can start to expect a SOR sequel to never be made.

[charco]

But the profits are from pachinko machines... their video games are still loss-making

Hmm, I haven't heard of such a thing but yeah, maybe I got excited a lil too fast ^^'

iirc, Platinum made a 4 game contract with Sega, but extended it for a 5th game to make Max Anarchy/Anarchy Reigns.

Anyway, I was thinking of picking up Castlevania Harmony of Despair on PSN. The only thing that disappoints me is that Eric Lacarde, my favorite Castlevania character, isn't playable. I'm not a big Castlevania fan, but this looks like a good place for me to start after Bloodlines, seeing as the PS3 version has local 4-player co-op, lots of classic characters, online play etc.

Before anyone asks, I did play SotN. Unfortunately though I was limited to playing it on PSP, so I couldn't finish it after my PSP's buttons started giving out.

Also, if anyone wants to do a co-op run of this with me I'll be a bit more persuaded to buy it so let me know

Bump for $10 off on certain pre-orders and free shipping (in the US, not sure about anywhere else). There's a lot of good games supported by the deal though, including Tekken Tag Tournament 2, Resident Evil 6, Anarchy Reigns, Playstation All-Stars Battle Royale, Dead or Alive 5, Tomb Raider, The Last of Us etc.

I'm so onboard but....wow it's been what 2 years now?

I might actually buy the game now. But tbh the reason I didn't buy it before is because it plays so sluggishly.

[Iceweb38]

I just hope there's gonna be a few more trophies as well. But really, didn't realised it's already been 2 years the game came out.

Random game that Capcom and Yoshinori Ono (SFIV) are working on



Also, am I the only one that get's pissed that they are trying to retcon Daniel Craig into all classic Bond roles? IMO you just can't replace Brosnan with Craig and expect it to be cool.



Edit: New Megaman game... (yayy)

You're not the only one. OK, the Goldeneye remake on wii wasn't too bad executionwise but the whole concept of retconning Daniel Craig in all classic Bond roles is just wrong in my books.

Not to mention, "Die Another Day"?! I wanted a game based of this with Brosman back in 2002, it's quite too late now.

Preview and interview with the developers of that new Deadpool game. I must say this sounds hilarious.
