For anyone interested in Snake Eater 3D:
1up says "in far more meaningful ways, this is the finest version of the game yet produced; it addresses and repairs many of the interface shortcomings that affected the PS2 game. It's as much of an improvement over Subsistence as Subsistence was over the original Snake Eater."
Game looks meh to me. They say that between this and the unchanged HD version there will never be a definitive version as the HD version doesn't have the improvments this has, yet has better framerate and resolution but old clunky character models.
I can't wait to get the new SSX this week! The IGN review is right...this IS the game this generation has missed. One of them, at least.
ITS TIME TO GET TRICKYYYY!!!
Since it was brought up in the forum and during the podcast I figured I'd take a shot at figuring out what the 3DS attach rate in Japan is. So I skimmed through the last year's worth of Media Create sales and made a chart. When I say skimmed, let me be very clear, I SKIMMED it. I probably missed quite a bit, but as far as forum stastics go, I still think this paints a somewhat accurate picture.

That total could probably be bumped up by 10% to 15%. Maybe.... Regardless though I don't think there's more than another million sold 3DS games out there (not including downloadable titles). So there ya go. Approximately a 1.4 to 1.6 attachment rate in Japan. Not terribly good. However it's well worth mentioning that over the past couple months 3DS titles have utterly dominated the media create charts, and it doesn't seem like that will stop anytime soon. So I think over the next few months the attachment rate will climb very steadily, now that there's no shortage of good software for it.
Sitting at home today, starting up new "Classics" topics here and on GameSpot... Why you may ask? I had just gotten over a nice case of DOUBLE-Pink-Eye from earlier in the week when I returned to work and got a nasty muscle-pull from trying to turn my leg in directions it just wouldn't go. I decided I would limp over to a Bar-B-Que restaurant for some BBQ and Beer to cheer myself up last night and got some nice food-poisoning from that...
Yay!
"Rumor: Frostbite 2 has been seen running on the Wii U with very smooth results that are superior to any PS3/360 game running Frostbite 2."
Well its a more powerful system, so isn't this what it SHOULD be doing?
Just played the demo's for SSX and Binary Domain. SSX is good shit, Binary Domain is just shit.
The things that happen to you.
Glad to see that thread returned.
Meh! I'm starting to just laugh it off at this point...
...and poop it out!
Now I have zero interest in this game.
Anyone want to join me for some Gears 3 mp? Or Mass Effect 3 perhaps?
Gerstmann said: "Didn't play a ton of it (busy with another pair of assignments) but SSX sure seems awesome. I didn't even like the older games, but dang."
That's about what I guessed it would be. Nice work Robio.
The site that posted that rumor has no credibility at all. Less than us even.
Some UC 3 coop tonight Aspro?
I'll join!
Cool lets do it !
Nice replicas:
AP whatya think? Now or late? Both travio and I are on now..Ahh I now see travio is on his Vita.
Maybe later I guess .. gonna play some twisted metal .... Still want to play Twisted metal can wait Aspro get on the PS3
Nah. SSX Blur was one of the better SSXs. The game can't be blamed for people not being able to use the motion controls properly.
