Re: Skullgirls Release Date in Limbo

James

@naruball It's a six-button fighter so wouldn't feel as comfortable on PS Vita. Hopefully if it sells well then Reverge Labs will work on a portable version though

Re: Rumour: PS4 Codenamed "Orbis", Due Christmas 2013

On the new vs. pre-owned thing, I'd like to see more publishers adopt the model EA took with Battlefield: Bad Company 2. Buy the game new and you're entitled to future DLC for free; buy pre-owned and you have to buy the DLC separately. This way everyone gets the same basic game and can play online together, but new buyers get extra stuff for no extra cost.

@get2sammyb In Japan of course! Wouldn't surprise me for PS4 to output a currently non-standard resolution as a look to the future — we would have said the same about 1080p seven years ago and now even Nintendo's doing it Interesting stuff though!

@Kayoss Why four? Surely you could get away with three as PS3/PS2 both play PSone games!

@Play_It_Loud Good point! Though at the time I thought it was unthinkable PS3 wouldn't play games from the biggest-selling console ever, and look what happened there..!

Re: First Impressions: Assassin's Creed III

James

Haven't played the series since the first one (which bored me) but this looks like it might be cool. I like the sound of the survival and exploration elements — always thought AC should get into the wide open space. Intrigued!

Re: Move Support Confirmed for The Amazing Spider-Man

James

@LittleBigVita The Spider-Man that died was Peter Parker in the Ultimate Marvel universe, where he was replaced by Miles Morales. There've been other Spider-Men who've died — Ben Reilly was a Peter Parker clone, and he was killed. This film is set in a different segment of the Marvel timeline, so you'll play as Peter Parker

Re: Review: Street Fighter X Tekken (PlayStation 3)

@AriesSiren I don't think it's fair to say that SF characters only have four moves — good players get a lot of mileage out of their normals, particularly with overheads for mix-ups etc.

I haven't been back to this game since reviewing it. I might give it another go when the DLC lands (love me some Dudley) but until then it's going to sit on my shelf while I play more VF.

Re: BioWare Seeking "Closure" for Mass Effect 3 Ending

James

I bought an album once and didn't like the last song on it so I started a petition on the internet to get the band to change it.

I watched a TV series once and didn't like the last episode so I started a petition on the internet to get the writers to change it.

This whole farce is ridiculous; if you don't like the ending, nut up. fr srs.

Re: Phantasy Star Online 2 Confirmed for PS Vita

James

Cross-play with a home console version is something I've wanted ever since PSO: Ep I & II hit GameCube with its GBA link-up. Shame it's about ten years too late for me to make use of it; no more commuting for me!
