Really? So she's kind of like Mystique from X-Men? That's why she walked around pretty much naked most of the movie if I remember correctly.

I would certainly hope not but I'm having trouble having faith in their PR team as of late.

Nope. It was a great remaster of the original game. There was a bit of touchiness with the pogo but they had a patch the day after that fixed that.

From the one angle, it kind of looks like the alien fighters from Independence Day.

April, this would probably be a good time to run.

From my limited experience, the frustration usually comes from those extra features getting in the way and making the gameplay experience a pain. But if they can just be there and not get between me and my game, I really don't mind them.

When they first pop into Christmas Town you see it pretty bad on the mountain range but overall a really solid rendering.

The main difference that I see is that all these devices don't segment the player / developer market. A developer writes one piece of software and it plays on every variation of hardware. Sega, on the other hand, had multiple devices all trying to support independent libraries.

Right, but is it the free online version without any portal accessory or a full starter pack like the consoles is the question. I guess we'll have to wait and see. Thanks for following up.

Yeah, I assume they had them taken. I was just goofin' on the "made them for $0.00" comment.

Well, maybe $5.00 to buy the photo off of the photo site.

It costs them nothing? At the time you copy and play a game, it doesn't physically remove value from their company at that moment. However, by not purchasing yet playing the game, you have shown an interest in the product that had the potential to become a sale. A sale that is now lost unless you've really got a…

The main difference with the Saturn's early launch is that Sega neglected to not only inform customers but also it's retail partners who had no idea the console was launching. We found out the day the consoles showed up with a note to "release immediately". It kind of pissed off a lot of retailers like Toys R Us who…

I hate this god damned argument because it's bullshit. The developer may have "unlimited copies" of something but they've invested time and money into making that product in the first place. They start in debt as if they've had to absorb thousands of products being "stolen" from the start. This isn't a widget on a…

At least the 90's commercials from Sega (especially the Foote, Cone & Belding commercials) had some kind of quirky charm to them. Those commercials are responsible for a lot of things we actually like today like the Sega scream.

They're trying to capture that "extreme" angle that a lot of 90's video game advertising had and it isn't working. At all.

God damn that is still an awesome sounding intro for a console. Really shakes your sound system.

Ugh, god damn it. I don't understand making it mostly just for last gen consoles that'll be dead in the water in a few years. If they really want me to buy into this thing for the long haul, it needs to be on a platform that I know will be able to get online in 5 years time.

That's because in a lot of areas in the U.S., the government subsidizes their internet because it's considered a necessary utility now instead of just a luxury. I know people that have installed cable and internet who've told me how a family will have packages that are well over $100 a month only cost them a fraction…

I've started buying characters I want but I'm waiting on the starter kit until they release the PC version.
