"I love working with Kojima-san. We are still in touch. We are still friends and working into doing something together, but that's not going to be [silent Hills]," director Guillermo del Toro said in an interview with IGN.

Downloaded a demo of Tembo The Badass Elephant last night - haven't played it yet (my son is hogging the PS4 for Rocket League), but looks REALLY fun:

Is there more to it than smashing thru walls? I love GameFreak and always try to pick up their titles but this is the first time they've excluded handhelds.

 

Pro-gamers will now be subject to drug tests

" "I think it's a big problem, if the sport is going to be taken seriously," said Tom Phillips, deputy news editor for the Eurogamer website."

If drugs are getting involved, doesn't that mean it's now an official sport? Doesn't seem like a real sporting event until people start doping up to win.

yeah they've been fixing games for a while now, so coupled with doping i think you've got yourself a real sport

There is hope! I'd hope that whatever they end up creating ends up being true to the original creepy vision they had, and less constrained even by not having to tie it into the Silent Hill franchise...

Guys, follow the hype Rocket League is great fun !

i've bought ESO on the steam sales. it's like they say, not an elders scrolls game, but another mmo.

i'm not yet done with the game, i'll give another shot.

Just the word pro-gamer makes me cringe.

Completed Assassin's Creed Unity a few days ago. The story at least. I guess the many patches since launch helped a fair deal, because outside of the clunky controls I didn't see much wrong with it. It looks amazing and to me it felt like a nice return to the style of the older games, with mostly everything taking place in one big city. Looking forward to playing the DLC they gave away for free and all the side stuff. ALSO decided to pick up AC Rogue for cheap and am enjoying it so far. Pretty much just a re-skin of Black Flag but that was a super duper game to begin with so it's fine. The icy environments are amazing.

Really looking forward to Syndicate now.

currently playing klonoa 2 and really enjoying it:):) everything about it has a lovely level of polish, from the colourful levels to the synthy quirk soundtrack. top stuff. reminds me of the recent nintendo first party style colourful games on wii u (toads treasure man, yoshis woolly world) but with a bit more emphasis on stumping the player with puzzles and lack of reliance on reusing old designs and tropes. the game shines with originality. (altho i still am looking forward to going back and playing yoshi wii u from start to finish).

Loved the Klonoa games, that sort of 2.5 dimension where the focus is on gameplay rather than camera. Did you play Pandemonium also? A sort of similar thing played like Castle of Illusion. A guilty pleasure of mine is also a game called One on the PS1 which contains lots of that neon particle effect (seen in G-Police, Colony Wars, Metal Gear Solid) that the PS1 did with ease.

have played Pandemonium but not fully or to the end. is sitting on PS3 harddrive so might give it another crack.

up next.. have my eyes either on Klonoa 1 or Yoshi's Woolly World.. or maybe Pandemonium^.. maybe One :):)

it's cool in klonoa when the puzzles involve keeping an eye on something happening in the background but the level wraps around to make it easier to progress forward but still keep eye on important stuff because the level is wrapping around. cool shit :)

Still on NG+ on Bloodborne, almost done with the Chalice Dungeons as well. Just Isz to go through; Ailing Loran dungeons were hella cool, in their atmosphere, difficulty, and rewards.

Started playing Geometry Wars 3 a bit, but I'm getting hung up here and there. Fun game so far.

Pre-ordered N++ because it looks too insane not to try. Hoping I don't regret it.

played n+ on ds and it's alot of fun.

hopefully n++ comes out on vita.. that'd be sweet.

Definitely saw a lot of love for N+, and since there's almost no p/reviews of N++ out yet, that was most of what I had to go on as far as deciding to buy it. Should be great gameplay, just worried that it'll be both too frustrating and too addictive. There's worse problems than that to have though.

And it definitely seems like the type of game that would work well on smaller-format devices, I imagine it's a top candidate for Vita.

yeah saw n++ and it's def something i'd prefer to play on vita. haven't really used mine since i platinumed rogue legacy.

besides grinding out some of the last few ffvii sidequests and doing chores over the weekend i fought on and off to get logged into the sf5 beta. servers have been crushed since going live thursday. managed to get logged in twice but spent most of the time in the training/waiting lobby. fought two matches. the connections were surprisingly tight while actually in the matches, especially considering it's probably over 6 months before the games going to be released. game looks good and plays like street fighter. timing right now is waaaaaay less strict than in sf4 for doing links. much easier to hit confirm and combo into supers. def like where they're trying to go with it (much more fighting the opponent than fighting the game mechanics).

modded one of my old ps3 arcade sticks with a ps360+ pcb so now it'll run on ps3/ps4/360/pc. now i need to sell all of these extra sticks/parts i have lying around...

Adding Persona 2: Innocent Sin to the mix, way easier than Persona 1, that was a struggle to get through because it punished you often for no reason.

mmm... Persona.

I can't wait for Persona 5. Shin Megami Tensai games are up there with my favorites for sure.

Bit the bullet and finally got a ps4, mainly because of the new batman game, but currently having a lot of fun with Rocket League. Good old simple fun, reminds me of speedball II, sensible soccer on the Amiga.

Still playing The Witcher 3...

...this fucking game. Man...
