Hello yeah for The Last Story, one of the best games I’ve ever played, hands down, in any genre. So much good, damn shame the Wii wasn’t HD, it was all you said + it incorporated strategy & third person cover based shooter/action elements seamlessly.

You all do realize that Street Fighter didn’t get anime style until Street Fighter Alpha, right? Street Fighter 2 actually had more realism going on, just happened to be a video game with hand drawn pixel art and not photography. Evident not only in the characters but the backgrounds & bonus stages too.

Mortal Fighter Street Kombat

me too, I was like “that looks pretty rad” what gives?

I’ve never really played much or been into Call of Duty (really not into soldier / war simulators, feel like Army recruitment fodder) but this looks simply like a bad-ass Sci-fi game. Sci-fi I do like. Why the hate?

That’s crazy info. I have been noticing what appears to be much more outsourcing to China & South Korea (from various series ep credits), guessing from the chart above this could be why. Also, there’s a big problem no-one is mentioning that just like with the music industry right now and the big shift to digital…

Hooray Sharon Apple! Ehem, I mean Hatsune Miko. I’m not a pop music fan but a cyberpunk fan and was always intrigued by the holographic idol idea ever since Macross Plus & Idoru.

Fantastic article, and not just because I’m currently drunk : p

that was amazing. good show bruva!

It’s like that anime series where all they ate was Pizza Hut... Code Geass?

Beautiful post, for me (I’m 1/2 Thai 1/2 Irish) he was a mixed race hero.

yeah, there were plenty of games from the past that were still enjoyable with different difficulty settings and in a way gave more replay value since once you got good you could challenge yourself with the harder settings & high scores - also, many times there were incentives like better or “true” endings that you…

right on, I’ve been playing OlliOlli again and can understand that, that game is unforgiving but sooo good.

Do not underestimate the power of Snoopy in Asia in general, not just Japan. He’s like the male, dog version of Hello Kitty, if that makes sense. Ironically, in regards to Peanuts, this: http://kotaku.com/how-snoopy-kil…

i can’t understand why they wouldn’t just have the classic “easy, normal, hard” settings that were pretty standard ever since 16-bit games... like, ???

ooh, now a good on rails Terminator game I would play, just mentioning it brings back memories of the light-gun games, good stuff.

kinda sorta like the “new” 3ds, except the non exclusive titles bit

um... everything but Godzilla looks good, i mean really, looks like a dude in a Godzilla suit... which may be true to the originals but then what’s the point of a remake? why do all the media outlets keep hyping how amazing this is? I don’t get it.

Joker Game is the one you want, for and about adults, not more high school kids doing this or that. Oh, and Kabaneri of the Iron Fortress is looking to be pretty great.

facepalm, wtf is wrong w/ people. I see it more as an homage to Cammy’s victory pose from Street Fighter, c’mon! the over sensitivity surrounding this industry is getting preposterous. it’s just a butt, we all have one! they could have countered by giving the pose also to a male character, why not!?
