Well they are being a little held back by consoles, probably.

Hey all this is Bartz btw.

True enough, I suppose. I do like how the recommended specs exclude Vista, though.

The closer this game gets and the more I read about, the harder the wait becomes. I haven't been this excited for a game in a very long time.

You would think we should know about every video game coming out this fall already, but Konami only decided today to nail down a release date for the Metal Gear Solid HD Collection: November 8.

The collection bundles together high-definition versions of Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty, Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater, and Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker, in addition to ports of the MSX2 versions of Metal Gear and Metal Gear 2: Solid Snake.

That's really soon!

Nintendo's first half losses are not quite as bad as anticipated. Still a 70 billion Yen loss though.

EU sells those PS3s
Wii can't even sell in JP.
And JP nationalism prevents 360 love.

Yeah, that was my first thought. Those screenshots also give me a major FFVII vibe, but maybe that's just me wanting to see a REMAKE in them or something.

Ha, man, Capcom must be absolutely regretting what they've done with Devil May Cry. Dante not even the real Dante in DmC.

"The half-angel, half-demon Dante in DmC Devil May Cry is not the Dante you know from Devil May Cry. Strange yes, but there’s an explanation inside Dengeki PlayStation. The magazine explains Ninja Theory’s game takes place in parallel world."

http://www.siliconera.com/2011/10/31/dmc-devil-may-cry-takes-place-in-a-parallel-world-with-a-different-dante/

Time to scrap this project, and bring on DMC5 instead.
