IGN has a nice index of news and games from the Tokyo Game Show.
So far there doesn't appear to be anything too exciting, which isn't surprising, given that Capcom is the only relevant developer in Japan these days. Hopefully they'll show some new DMC4-style PC love. STFU I can dream.
Fuck DMC4.
DMC4 is just as bad as every Japanese game you whine about, and is a blemish on an otherwise good record :(.
I care more about Deathsmiles than Resident Evil 5. psh
Space Invaders Extreme on XBLA? Get the fuck out. That's pretty cool.
Tekken 6 on 360? I guess Namco likes money, and I might rent it or some shit.
Metal Slug 7 on 360, too? Saves the game from total uselessness.
That's all I think I give a shit about at first glance.
Congrats at IGN having Ketsui pictures under Daioujou Black Label.
Oh shit... Castlevania on PS3 and 360
I'm pretty sure Yoshi was referring to how DMC4 was a fantastic PC port, not saying anything about the quality of the game itself.Quote:

Besides the Halo 3: Recon news update, this is what has me excited:

Editions:
Raiden IV
Publisher: UFO Interactive
Platform: Xbox 360
Release Region: United States
Raiden IV
Publisher: UFO Interactive
Platform: Xbox 360
Release Region: United Kingdom
Raiden IV
Publisher: UFO Interactive
Platform: Xbox 360
Release Region: Japan
As much as I want to believe, Raiden IV was published by Moss in Japan. That means there's something wrong with those listings.
I can't get my head around all the shooters on the 360. The potential market for the games is limited by the 360's install base in Japan, plus the games aren't system sellers, so there doesn't seem to be incentive for MS to be bribing developers to make them exclusive.
They also suck balls for us, since MS lied about 360 region freedom, so we can't import.
If you got that listing from IGN it's been like that for a while now. I don't think it actually means anything besides being a placeholder, even their previews still claims that the 360 port is unconfirmed (despite having been released).Quote:

It wouldn't shock me if the people that want to play Ketsui at home would buy a 360 for it, honestly, and I guess a ball has been rolling ever since SnR.

this is my guess; if I can pump out code that works on a 360 while barely having a grasp on how c# works, then surely talented developers could pump out a shooter engine blindfoldedQuote:

Probably look better too. Curse of Darkness looked bad even for a PS2 game.Quote:

VF5 isn't even the best Sega game this gen.
The region coding is UP TO THE DEVELOPERS. I think this is also one of the reason why all these shooters come out for 360 instead of the PS3 (aside from being easy to port). They'll release the games with Japanese-only region coding so overseas publishers would have more of an incentive to pick the game due to lack of import purchases cutting into their sales. As an example look at Tales of Vesperia, it's not a shooter but the English version works on both Japanese and US 360s, but is locked out for Europe because the game comes out next year there! Too bad a lot of import publishers don't give a shit about the games in the first place... but that doesn't stop the Japanese devs because all e-mails asking about a region free release always mentions them working on finding a publisher.Quote:

(what's better?)
VT3.
Yakuza 3 hopefully!
Culdcept DS.
I can live with that answer. Even though Sumo kinda botched the port and made me play minigame RPG mode to make a character.Quote:
VT3.
hells naw at Yakuza, though it's still an awesome series.
If MS could somehow guarantee that the 360 wouldn't red-ring, I'd do this.Quote:

I don't give a fuck about Microsoft Studios. The Xbox hardware arm of Microsoft promised region free games, and they failed to deliver. The PS3 and every portable ever have region free games. The 360 does not, period. EA games are region free on all those platforms.
Tell you what, you provide a source of a Microsoft rep stating there will be no region encoding on any 360 games and I'll admit that you might have a point this time.Quote:

I tried looking and saw nothing about MS confirming region-free games. In fact, most of the stuff I saw was people actually being SURPRISED that the 1st wave of games were region-free! Then I had a laugh cause I saw E3 '05 PS3 info with dual HDMI ports and 1080P standard.
I don't care enough to go dig for it, but I am sure I'm not the only one who remembers. It was a pretty big deal at the time.Quote:

I also tried to look up on how to make a 360 region free by a hack and didn't get very far on that either. You mean to tell me there's no viable chip or method out there to mod the thing? How did MS manage to make the 360 so airtight?
I wouldn't be against getting a 360 and some shooters if I could get a US one for cheap and hack it. I don't give a shit about XBL, and a hacked US 360 dying is still cheaper than a Japanese unhacked 360 dying. So where's the chip? Or a disc?
I believe you can change the region coding on an ISO using some software similar to how Saturn piracy works. Playing copied games require some DVD drive firmware hack. I'm not well-versed in 360 mods so someone else could probably give you a better answer.
Big enough that Microsoft announced the exact opposite? This is what led the actual big deal of:Quote:

But that said, all the other news has been pretty rockin' re: XBLA games, KOF02UM, more KOF XII info. The 360 port for Tekken 6 is smart as hell considering how the fanbase seems to have dwindled in the US, but I wish they'd give us regular Tekken 6 in the meantime and not make us wait yet another year to play it at home at all. It's insanely frustrating considering that I probably won't get to touch the game at all until the home version. And that says nothing about when a US release will be. At least they didn't stick it on PSP exclusively for a while like DR, I guess.
Truth be told, I havnt cared about other regions since I started liking what was on the Xbox. Japan never gave a shit about me so I dont care about Japan.
I finally bought the Raiden games for 360. Not the system yet because I just wanted to make sue I could get the games.
I they localize them now, RIPSHIT
Ok rather what Grave said. So far with the stuff that Microsoft is doing, I am satisfied as a gamer. Moreso than any other console. So if the majority of my stuff isnt on the other side of some region programming then I am cool.Quote:

At gametrailers they have a video of otomodius (SP?) the new Parodius game for XBLA. I'm too lazy to look for the link. If this is true I will shit.
Otomedius Gorgeous XBLA was confirmed a while ago. The most recent thing I heard is that the release date changed from whatever it was to TBA.
Konami is making some super-expensive stick specifically for the port (of which PA is pre-sold out, among other places I imagine).
I thought Otomedius was going to be a retail title from the start.
I was thinking about making a clause saying that you specifically were the only person on TNL allowed to disagree.Quote:

This TGS is terrible.
The only cool things to come out this show are the amazing Yakuza 3, RE5, and Bionic Commando trailers.
Yeah, Otomedius is a retail title.
Also, Gametrailers can't differentiate between Ibara and Dodonpachi Daioujou: http://www.gametrailers.com/player/41228.html

Comparing 4 to 5, there is a fundamental game system change in that you no longer need to do be able to do defensive techniques at a split second after doing a move that is guarded. This takes away what I believe was VF's trademark gameplay; the forced guesses and reactions to them. While they exist in a lesser form, the game has moved closer to Tekken's design.Quote:

FT takes away the stepping and reduces the damage all around in a n attempt to balance the game further, I liked it (and played it for 6000 matches in the arcade) but missed the fast pace of Evo.
R is closer to Evo than FT since everyone can take off half life or more with 1 combo. The wall combos in general need to be toned down, anyone doing 50-70% combos is ridiculous.
