Thanks for the nice updates. I recently swore that if I ever become a billionaire I would take it upon myself to revive Shenmue. Much better than pissing money away via charities.
life, i agree. dk 64, beetle adventure racing, and kirby need new games. those n64 games were the best. too bad about banjo kazooie though, it was great until stupid microsoft bought rare...
Neither ROB or any of the characters from Earthbound were completely redesigned. they were simply given graphical updates. Kid Icarus was toally redesigned and given a much more interesting look. It does make it seem more promising.
Although as far as DX3 goes I'd be very happy if it blended the RPG elements of the older games with Gears of War type combat. So long as the option for stealth and other playstyles is there I wouldn't complain a single whit. It's possible to have Gears type action along with a mild stealth system and RPG elements in a game.
ODDWORLD WAS ONE OF THE 1ST GAMES I PLAYED AND IT WAS ON THE PS1 AND I WOULD BE ONE OF THE FIRST PEOPLE TO BUY IT WHEN OR IF IT EVER HIT THE SHELVES. I ALSO THINK THAT KOTOR 3 WOULD BE A HIT BECAUSE EVERY ONE I KNOW LOVED THE SECOND ONE
I suspect that a 13th game we can count on never seeing is a next Sim City sequel. City Life/ Cities XL may have prolonged things a bit, but I think it's safe to say that Sim City Societies may have killed the genre off for good.
