Yeah, that's that what I want. Facebook of the future making fun of me for crying because my PS5 won't turn on because it's crying and upset at me for having to stop playing to go to work.

Wow... That might actually happen. Stop it Sony. How about you guys focus on creating an actually secure online network instead of rebuilding Skynet?

It's its own engine? Sounds, and more importantly already feels like bullshit. When you have to have a PR guy explain that it isn't using the same engine, then it's close enough to sound like a rip0off.

With that said, I'm sold.

Don't feed the trolls.

I'm pretty excited, as last years' edition was the first in the series that I had skipped and I'm looking to get back on the bandwagon. I'm happy they finally improved the pacing of the matches as well.

I only have one question though; if the momentum meter only rises, is there still some sort of way to tell how fatigued or weak the opponent is? Probably via some sort of on screen indicator like limping, perhaps?

@Tyrlanae - Thank you. Couldn't have said it better myself.

The only way this can be justified, is if they take it in a WHOLE new direction. As in, he's just a regular teenage kid in high school who discovers LSD, and his Devil Trigger is when he drops the cube. That explains his new, Billy Idol-abandoning look.
ALL of the demons he sees are hallucinations, and he OD's and dies mid-game, only to go to hell and come back to be the fifth horseman of death. Bam, there's your reboot.

Because he looks like he's on Meth.

However, I will enjoy crushing Dante's in MvC3 all the more if they reveal this as one of his Alternates down the line.

@TimePoliceChief89 - You mean Hadoken? If you're going to correct someone, make sure that you're correct first. He's the producer, he can call them shooty lollipops if he feels like it.

I just want a space in between Vane and Trago. I'd pay the 7 bucks just for that, but unfortunately I have to go all the way around by changing it to something else and then back, so... Fuck it. No free monies for you Microsoft, that has to go to Capcom.

They are already planning for the Super Edition?

More gaming developers need to get together to drink. Because good decisions are always made when intoxicated.

The way that Sterling comes across, in both this article and many others, just screams that he's an insufferable prick. Even the few points I agreed on I ended up agitated by, purely by his diction and tone.

And it's not even the content, it's the context. Antista could have written something about the death of Megaman and even if I disagreed I would come away from it feeling... Annoyed as I do.

It's sad that sometimes there's more content packed into one of these games than there is a full big budget title. Twisted Pixel, I'll happily give you my ten bucks! Keep pumping out the good work.

Wow Vane, way to fail at the hate bandwagon. I completely missed out on this whole story. I've already purchased the game, used, with a large majority of the content already locked and a slew of high scores already in place. I didn't care though, when I was buying it I knew what I was getting in a handheld Mercenaries game.

The unlockable characters who were already unlocked? If you hadn't already a clue as to who was going to appear in this game, than this game already isn't aimed at you. After a day of solid playing, none of the previous scores even existed, so that point was moot as well. I will replay this my damn self, two or three years down the line when it's become forgotten on my shelf and I cycle back to it. And it will be new again and I'll just beat my own high scores...

With that said... Really Capcom? No 'Data Reset' tucked away at the back of the options? You just [i]knew[/i] that haters were gonna hate.

As if they would be stupid enough to let 13-17 year old children compete with professional paintball players or trained soldiers on a paintball course. Of course it's 18+, and if I was more of a CoD fan I'd be all over this. Living in Alaska also doesn't help, but nevertheless this is a hell of an idea and I truly love the way big game companies are going balls out with promotional events for their games.

Your recaptcha's are getting pretty fuckin' weird these days.

After reading this article, I went out and bought the only new copy of Deadly Premonition in all of the GameStops in Alaska. The tank controls don't bother me in the slightest, because I'm the gamer who still goes back to play Contra and Twisted Metal on a semi-regular basis. I have got to say, that I am really starting to love this game. I never would have even looked twice at it if it weren't for reading this. Thanks for the recommendation, and any other obscure gems like this that you guys find, you should really give us a heads up.

It's Activision. Fuck em. If anything, it seems like a lot of these up-their-own-asses companies seem to be getting their just desserts lately. Activision, Sony... maybe some right is finally coming into the world.

... All in all, I just want his fucking Gold Plated Desert Eagle. That's beautiful, all bullshit aside.

Why don't you guys have the people on staff who actually play these games do the FAPs? Especially if you're trying to demonstrate the game.

I am completely with oldschoolgamer here. Some of the new fatalities in Mortal Kombat were enough to illicit more than a few cursory words of approval, what with Quan Chi ripping his opponents' leg off and beating them to death with it. And some gamers bat not an eyelid, yet when this rudimentary part of our anatomy is exposed for an adult video game, you see complaints. It's either all okay, or none of it is. And that's what M is for, for Mature. If you aren't able to handle subjects which most well adjusted adults come across in every day life, such as nudity and/or sex, then how are you able to play any of the violent games out there? It's unnerving, how gore can be viewed as okay, but the grace of a natural female body can be offensive.

It's pretty damn stupid.

I remember back when he was DanElektro on Gamepro a decade ago, constantly being real, real shitty to their real fans on the website back when it was just a fledgling and the chat would die every few hours or so. It got to the point where about 20-some-odd constant users ended up getting fed up and leaving to form their own website, PGNx. He even eventually came on to the board to try and defend himself, with another inflammatory statement. And now he's trying to circumvent the damage done by saying he was misquoted, or joking? Get off Kotick's nuts.

It absolutely tips the scales, especially in an age where fighters are generally considered to already be better on the PS3 because of its superior Dpad. And it's not like he's a throwaway character as he is mighty spicy indeed.

Way to further crank up the boredom on a game that was already monotony driven.

The Spider-Man one was so classic, I HAD to log in and comment. The best one to me has got to be,

"Hey how about turning off that horn pipe?" As he's slowly being entranced in rope at 3:18.

Or,

"Sorry Skinhead, I'm of the old school." When being interrogated by a goateed Verne Troyer at 5:18.

I don't really like Spider-Man as a character, so this was even better for me.

Truthfully though, this right here is the reason your parents are so fucked up and out of touch with what their children like today. Hilary Clinton grew up with this, and I had The Amazing Spider-Man, where he ripped the heads off of robots.
