Super Meat Boy coming to PS4 (at long last)!

 

Capcom re-re-re-re-re-releasing Mega Man Legacy Collection on PS4 (and others) - only MM 1-6 though.

 

BUT...

 

Has a Challenges mode that "remixes" parts of the classic games with specific challenges a-la NES Remix, and if it has trophy support, I might just justify playing through MM 1-6 again...

 

Funny they didn't throw in 7&8 (and 9&10) - but 7 and 8 were not 8-bit style...

maan. capcom keep re-releasing the same megaman games over and over again yet cancelling the new games.

could be a way to gauge player interest in the megaman series but seriously, it's getting to the point where it feels like capcom just don't care about the series anymore. feeling very inclined to need feed them any money for rehashing more lazy re-release crap.

meat boy on the vita on the other hand is very excited. the game seems soooo well suited for the handheld and im happy to finally have the opportunity to sink some time into it on the fly :)

this was fkn amazing - absolutely solid dystopian cyberpunk future adventure game.

i highly rate all for wadjet eye's games (gemini rue is also pretty amazing - sci-fi noir) but they're not very well known

 

Ah, it's from the people who did Gemini Rue. I really need to play that game again now that I have an iPad

 

yeah brilliant game

i.e. technobabylon

Masuda shows up @ Pokemon pop up store right before E3? Hmmm methinks there's a game announcement coming...

Finally gets a mention! Been thoroughly enjoying so far. Some of the puzzles remind me of Beneath a Steel Sky

Fuck Witcher 3, I'm playing Hot Date, a game where you date a pug.

Now if you excuse me, I have some dogging to do.

Free for PSPlus subscribers too.

super meat boy destroyed me. i like a bit of sadistic difficulty, but i got to around world 4, and when youve spent 5 hours on one level, enough is enough. apparently its easier with a gamepad though.

Did anyone try the Star Wars DLC for I Am Bread?

Watching playthrus of Splatoon, there are 60 bonus levels locked behind that Amiibo pay wall. Really lame, Nintendo. Not even a bundle for the US.

So wait - you MUST buy the Amiibos in order to play any of the bonus levels? Makes sense, as long as the bonus levels are not a majority of the game's content.

I did, I have, it's amazing. More fun than most of the Stars Wars games, and loaded with hideously bad puns.

bought splatoon yesterday

Yeah they're are like 20 challenege levels for each amiibo that when you complete you end up with a couple of unique pieces of gear....in all honesty though the amiibos aren't totally neccessary (even though they're super fun). The challenge levels are just variations of single player levels (like play through the level with only a limited amount of ink or a certain amount of time or a certain weapon). Also, the pieces of gear you get from those challenges can easily be outmatched by pieces of gear you can buy once you're level 20.

They are definite cons to this game that will be fixed throughout the summer come August (ie. the ability to join battles with friends as a team and not get shuffled around every map, 3 maps on rotation instead of 2 every 4 hours, more maps and game modes, "splatfests" so you can get some free rerolls of abilities and not have to spend 30,000 gold) but there are also a lot of mischaracterizations in reviews of this game as well (ie. mandatory motion controls, general nintendo hate for choosing a more "kid-friendly" aesthetic than a typical shooter).

But as someone who can easily get burnt out on multiplayer games that offer too much (looking at you battlefield) this whole staggered release schedule (not to mention Nintendo's willingness to engage with the community) is absolutely refreshing to see. Especially considering the fact that everyone seems to think the "wii u is dying quicker than the Dreamcast".

I have no idea why people are so excited for that game. Sure, it's made by the Ico and Shadows of Colossus guys, but we know next to nothing about the game, and judging from the rumous the development has been a living hell.

A new game every two to three years is hardly milking it. Not to mention that it won't be a direct sequel either.

Sure, but will it live up to the hype that everyone has been stirring up?

It's been in development for 8 years.
