The issue is how much does that cut into their very successful monopoly on handheld gaming. Maybe they'll be able to charge 10-15 bucks for Mario on your phone. But they can charge 30-40 and sell you a handheld unit with the 3DS.

 

Its a good question, but I really dont see them having any crossover conflict with the 3DS. I could see them throwing the virtual console NES and SNES library out there, as well as unique titles to phones.

 

You know they have been thinking this over forever because they are super anal about consoles and handhelds cutting into each others bottom lines

Wow, so EA dropped Tiger Woods and picked up Rory for the new golf game.

 

For the cover, or for the title? If it's just the cover, then they are just going the Madden route. Madden in name only.

It's both.

I'm about halfway through Ori and the Blind Forest, the indie platformer flavor of the month, and I'm enjoying it a lot. The gameplay is extremely sharp, I can't emphasize that enough; you immediately feel like you've been controlling this character your whole life. The production is great. The difficulty is rewarding but not frustrating. If you like your Metroidvania's, no reason not to get this. The only complaint is that it seems like it might be on the short side, but I'm not done yet, so who knows.

I read some of the reviews, the game looks beautiful. Some of those Indie games have so much attention to detail

It's definitely getting a lot of attention for its graphics. I wish big games went stylized like this more often instead of trying to be Gears of Duty all the time but I understand why it doesn't happen. That's one reason the indie market has exploded so much.

Rory McIlroy Golf 2015? Weird.

Got Hardline. The single player isn't terrible, but some of these missions are so damn easy. They try to incorporate stealth, but the AI is literally blind.

Rumors starting to swirl that Hideo Kojima is leaving Konami or taking on a different role. His name has been getting removed from Metal Gear 5 promotional items and branding.

Starwars Battlefront gameplay to be shown next month. A Starwars game has been LONG ovedue. They could make a Star Wars game ever year and it would sell a s*** ton.

Can't wait, not even a big Star Wars guy but the first two games were so fun

I used to love the old Star War games they made for Super Nintendo.

MLB 15 shipped... can't wait!

What Jose Abreu looks like in this game will decide whether I get it. First person to show me wins my love.

I'm picking it up from Walmart tonight at midnight. They will price match Costco, and Costco video games are always $52.99. Then, I'm going to see if I can trick a dumb Walmart employee to pricematch me with the 10th Anniversary edition on top of that. Either way, I'll have it tonight.

Ugh, it looks nothing like him. Just a generic face. Thanks, Zoom, for the link to the video.

I guess that last shot's not awful, but most players are completely identical to their real selves.

Already have it downloaded on the system, just have to wait until 11 to fire it up.

I'm picking up my pre-order tomorrow.

 

Who's gonna do Diamond Dynasty this year?

I may give it a shot this year simply because they now allow you to earn points for the cards in any game mode. So once I get burned out on RTTS and Franchise, I can start a DD maybe with a decent team already. Also, I hated how players contracts expired and stuff, seemed like too much to keep track of. That's gone now.

That looks more like MLB 10 than 15. Strange.

He is taking picture of his computer screen, or at the very least, screenshotting a video on his computer. The game looks much crisper than that.

Meh, apparently Jack McDowell is the "legend" for the White Sox. Frank Thomas would have been about 1,000 times cooler.

f***ing Walmart doesn't even get the game until tomorrow. f***holes.
