I don't know, it takes a bit of foresight to come up with a plan like clipping the ending off your game and selling it separately. Some of their games are so bad it had to have been planned.

Spoiler:

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

I saw leaked internal documents that stated Prince of Persia's name while in development was "Project Namco-Bandai"

FELIPE NO

They've produced some decent games over the years, I wouldn't write them off just yet. Armoured Core 2 was pretty decent, Grandia 2 is fairly popular and who can honestly say they didn't love Iron Lord?

I never did get to the end of that.

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

That's From Software, Game Arts, and a game made by two people in 1989, none of which were touched by the internal dev houses that make up Ubisoft's shitfactory these days.

The correct answer would have been Vegas, the latter Silent Hunters, and Chaos Theory.

Most amazing jew boots

In Shin's defense, Ubisoft was the publisher for those NA/EU-wise.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Um, yeah. Duh.

But this entire time I was referencing them as a developer, see.

Thank you for pointing out the flaw of my comment, in that people can't tell the difference. I know Shin knows. I'm just throwing this out there.

A++ will never assume anyone knows anything again.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Likewise, I was trying to make a joke about how the only good things with UbiSoft's name on are things they've published not developed themselves.

The joke was rather let down by the fact that I think most people know I'm pretty gay for Vegas and Blazing Angels.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

Well, that was one big clusterfuck then. Let's pretend our unfunny asses haven't said anything for the last four posts and let's continue on with our day, then.

How ya doing, buddy?

Hey, I kinda liked Pandora Tomorrow.

And why no Sands of Time, that's like one of the greatest games to start with the logo

Screw the Tom Clancy crap, it's all about Rayman 2 & 3. As amusing as the Rabbids are, I'd love to see them put out another actual Rayman platformer. That seems more and more doubtful with each Rabbid entry, though.

FELIPE NO

Well considering with Pandora Tomorrow came one of the greatest multiplayer game modes of all time, and had a decent single player. What was not to like? Too bad they decided to not include such multiplayer in Double Agent. They should just have both modes in the next one.

For those among us who enjoy Deus Ex, it has come to my attention that The Nameless Mod has recently been completed, which in a nutshell, is an enormous single-player total conversion mod for Deus Ex.

Quote:

It is a time of rejoicing amongst the thought-commune known as Deus Ex fans. The Narcissus Entity has deigned to break its silence and - once again - communicate with non-Nth dimensional hyperbeings The jubilation means nothing. Your pitiful orgasmic cries are meaningless. You will be consumed, when we can be bothered. But there is another reason for DeusExian human joy, a distant second to the reappearance of our transcendental majesty. The Nameless Mod is finished and available to download. At just under a gig, this game modification is about twice as large as Deus Ex itself.

Sorry for the double-post, but Marvel Vs. Capcom has been given a release date by Marvel: June 29th, and will be available on the PSN for US $15 and on Xbox LIVE Arcade for 1,200 Microsoft Points. It should be noted that Marvel added a small disclaimer: "scheduled release dates are subject to change". So until someone officially says otherwise, that's the Monday you can get taken for a ride.

SORNY Walkman Entertainment pushes Atari over in the mud up runs off with publishing rights to Ghostbusters. It's now a timed PS3/PSP/PS2 (there was a PS2 version?) exclusive. 360/Wii/DS versions to be released towards the end of the year from Atari. I think.

That's if Atari is still around by then.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Quote:

UPDATE: Atari has said that with Sony publishing the title, the game will reach a wider audience on release.

I... I... What?!

Bit of a bummer, but I figure this'll give them time to fix whatever bugs the tripple version with ship with, and throw in some new content for the 360 version. Every cloud has a silver lining.

(If not, well, the PS3 version will be cheaper by the time it hits the other platforms, so I'll just wait to spring for it.)

This announcement only affects PAL territories, according to Kotaku. Atari is still publishing the title in North America, so no worries for us.

Yeah, looking at the article again the Atari rep does call out Europe specifically. I guess I deserve to be deceived if I trust a news website with a .biz extension.

How is the site deceiving you if there is mention to the fact that it's Europe specifically? Also, perhaps worth noting is that it's a UK-based site (which would explain the point of view from which it is written).

Duke Nukem Developer 3D Realms has shut down.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

And, with that, millions of people around the world who intelligently voted in their DNF deadpools that the answer was "never" are now 100% correct.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Nonsense. Always bet on Duke.

How ya doing, buddy?

Apparently, the Duke Nukem Trilogy for DS and PSP are still scheduled for release. Duke isn't going down that easily.

In that it takes several paragraphs to get to this (implied) point. It's like a newspaper article with the headline FRENCH FRIES ARE CYANIDE RISK and then when you read all the way to the bottom it was just one guy's french fries and it turned out the cyanide was because the kid working the deep fryer dropped an Almond Joy in there.

I had no idea the site was UK-focussed, and Infernal certainly didn't point it out; ergo, I was deceived.

I was speaking idiomatically.

I am still betting on Duke. This is just a hoax publicity stunt, and E3 will have a gigantic Duke-a-mania.
