General Games / Damn you, Capcom

« on: February 17, 2006, 09:02:32 pm »

You were the chosen one!  You were supposed to defeat Sony, not join them!



Does Capcom hate money or something?  They seem determined to keep their games from selling as much as they can by putting them on platforms without fanbases for their products.  UMDs have now been proven to phail at movies, music, and games, but Capcom and UMD seems to fit...

General Games / Mega Man for Revolution?

« on: February 08, 2006, 07:21:08 pm »

In an interview with Jeux-France, Mega Man Battle Network 5: Double Team producer Takeshi Horinouchi and director Tsukasa Takenaka were asked about the Revolution.

Mr. Horinouchi said, "I indeed had the chance to quickly test Revolution, and I must say that it is interesting to note the evolution in this field. The perception of the video game is completely new. Concerning Megaman, we do not know yet what the future holds for us, but I would very much like to use the concept of Nintendo Revolution to see what a Megaman game could be on this console."

What is in store for Mega Man on the Revolution? Stay tuned to Atomic Fire for more details as they come!

You can read the full interview (in French) here.

"I havn't seeen it.. (crowd laughs) I've heard about it! (crowd laughs louder) Wh-What I was hoping you would say was to go back to the ranch (crowd roars)....... I haven't seen it"

XD (it was something like that, they did a clip on NBC Nightly News JUST to show our President's IQ)

Music / In case anyone is interested, X7's music..

« on: January 16, 2006, 09:39:38 pm »

is indeed partially streamed and partially sequenced.  PSF_rippers now has a preliminary PSF2 set out for the game, and this explains why there were only about 20 songs I could find from the game data Bladegash sent me (which has since been lost in a dual-hard drive crash).

Edit:  Eh, I probably shouldn't speak until I download... the PSF2 set only has 26 tracks, and they're all huge-ass files, so I can only assume that they're simply more streamed data in the PSF2 container.  Whicih laeds me to a question I should have asked long ago, just how much of the Rockman X7 OST IS actually part of the game?

General Games / Who doesn't like the PSP Vile?

Watch the Opening Stage footage.  I really don't like the direction Mega Man X just took with Sony consoles  :x  And they also butchered the dialogue and turned all the characters into a Final-Fantasy-main-character-with-a-sword type of thing..

General Games / The future of gaming

« on: January 07, 2006, 07:36:15 pm »

-Blu-Ray players cost $1,200-$1,800+ (HD-DVD players cost $499-$799+)
-Sony's Blu-Ray player won't arrive until summer
-Dead or Alive 4 for XBOX 360 outsells all PSP titles in Japan
-GameCube still outselling Xbox 360 in Japan
-DS sells over 13 million worldwide since launch (DS can well overtake GC by the end of 2006, I say, which is kind of sad..)
-Japan seeing a real DS shortage (sales are crazy in Japan, hundreds of thousands every week)
-Take Two expects PS3 to launch in late 2006, lowers earnings expectations, delays 360 titles, will port GTA PSP to PS2 not even half a year after its release....
AND LAST BUT DEFINITELY NOT LEAST:
-Peter Moore is officially a jackass.  There shouldn't be any doubt as to why DreamCast tanked now, regardless of Sega's financial situation.  First Peter Moore says "Xbox 360 is a superior culture than Sony [PS2]" (in Japan), next Peter Moore says "Japanese recording is primitive" (in response to being confronted by 360's low sales).

I say Nintendo has the right picture, and Microsoft and Sony are losing it.

General Games / Mega Man X Collection

« on: January 07, 2006, 07:31:19 pm »

IGN rates it a 7.0.  This is what they have to say:

-Their office loved Atomic Planet's MMAC (....)
-The MMAC menu system is superior to the noninteractive MMXC menu system (...)
-The Mega Man original series is superior to the X series (...)
-Battle & Chase must be unlocked
-The SNES games will let you use the password system
-The remixed music "is great"
-There are some interlacing issues
-GCN has faster loading times, PS2 has better audio and video compression

To Capcom:  I don't think you get it about audio quality.  First you encoded Maverick Hunter X in 136kbps ATRAC3, which is equivalent to less than 128kbps MP3.  Now IGN comments on how PS2's sound is superior to GameCube's???!  I fear for the future of great Mega Man music....

About IGN:  You can't spell IGN without IGNorant.  No word on voice acting, bad opinions, and few facts to go with them.

General Games / The REAL best reason to buy an Xbox 360 now

« on: November 28, 2005, 03:03:31 pm »

Many Xbox 360's are being reported to fail.  Whether or not it's because of ventilation holes being too small, or hard drives generating enough extra heat to overtop the system's limits, is unknown, but what shows up is:

System Error.  Contact Xbox 360 Support.

This has been shortened to SECX.  Don't you want to have SECX?

General / Happy Black Friday Shopping!

« on: November 25, 2005, 06:58:56 am »

So, how much money did YOU save?

We spent about $340... and saved about $200...

General Games / It's the cool thing to do: Jump on the 360-hate bandwagon!

« on: November 21, 2005, 04:25:39 pm »

1.  TIME Magazine calls Xbox 360 "Toy for Tykes".
2.  Police arrest armed robber who stole Xbox 360's from EB Games, and the media gives it loads of attention.
3.  FOX NEWS JUMPS ON THE BANDWAGON.  http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,175865,00.html

Music / GameCube DSP streamed format cracked...

Super Smash Bros. Melee:

Star Fox Assault:
http://thepiratebay.org/details.php?id=3408546


Eventually, I'll replace my SSBM line-in recording with a conversion of the original DSP/HPS files, but that's on the backburner as long as this Torrent still works.
