I wonder how Konami, who isn't any larger a company than Namco Bandai, can offer its gimmicky Solid Eye add on with every copy of the rather niche game Metal Gear Acid 2 in every region, despite it having little at all to do with the gameplay... ...and yet Namco cannot give away Dpads which are so fundamental to the game experience, and with a game that is likely to outsell Acid 2 by a bloody huge margin. I smell cheapness at its worst. Capcom I can understand, since their game was really an 8 year old port... but for Tekken on the PSP? What the hell?

Anyone know if ghosts are incompatible with different regions? Bad articulation... ie will a ghost made from an Asia version game be usable say on the US version?

Does anyone remember 'Now and Again' ? It aired on CBS in 1999/2000 and was about this guy who dies and then has his brain transplanted into an articial body manufactured by the US government. Starred Eric Close and Dennis Haysbert. Quirky show, but still one of my favourites ever, and I can't stand the fact that it was not only cancelled but also left with a clifhanger season ending. Unsurprisingly it has yet to recieve a DVD release. So does anyone else remember or like this show as much as I do? Apparently the Sci Fi Channel airs the first 8 episodes of it (but not the whole season ) every now and again, but since I don't get cable or live in the United States I can't say. On a limb, if anyone ran this through their PVRs and wanted to be really really nice..

I'd think if you were gonna sink $40 on a movie you would at least have a basic knowledge of the film's trivia / production info etc. or at least heard in an interview sometime over the last 2 years that it was in fact part 2 of 3.

True.. but I like the uniformity that they have when you line them up. If I had a clean, orderly and organised kind of room - you know the decore I mean - then they'd really look cool. Xbox spines have always been colourful though even in PAL-land. So have all previous-gen games.

The whole portal idea is one of the best innovations Ive seen happen to this genre... too bad Prey makes really poor use of it. Whenever I stepped through one all these great ideas about possible puzzle I might face later on came to mind... sadly they never did turn out. Prey didnt make them anything more than a novelty, but Im sure by the time theres a sequel theyll be putting the formula to good use. Deathwalking was good... it certainly beat loading the level from scratch. However it made everything ridiculously easy- it was effectively an infinite life thing that was always on. At least for bosses, they should have let the boss have full life again after you death walk. As it stands, you can just Rambo anything in the game and come out on top.

From these different burning problem threads is it possible that NOT ALL Dreamcasts can read CDRs. I know that rumour was supposedly disproven, but considering how so many people are struggling with it... Im just wondering because Im planning to buy one and might have to be more careful now.

The blue title screen is the final version. In that, everything is unlocked.. Dramatic Battle... Final Battle... Balrog, Juli & Juni are all there. The cream one is the original startup mode which has nothing.

I really like this game. All in all it was an above average effort I think if you class it alongside recent Doom and Quake outings. Waayyy too easy though. Point is, the 7.5 Gamespot gave it is unfair, I think. I always have beef with the scores they give but this one seems particularly misguided.

I hope the final title isnt anything involving a 'World's End'. Doesn't sound right :/ Having said that there wasn't a great indication what exactly the ends of the world have to do with any of the things mentioned at the end of the 2nd. It's as if there's a magical portal or some such nonsense 'at world's end.'

No I agree. I respect that kind of zero tolerance / no bullshit approach that Israel is taking. Of course Israel has never taken this sh!t lying down, but this is certainly stepping it up. Considerations of the value of human life aside, this kind of action is the best deterrent to Hezbollah scum and its ilk. And if the budding democracy in Lebanon takes a hit, then oh well. Collateral I guess.

Nice thread idea. Makes me want to go dig out all my Mega Drive and Master System games. Theyre in a box in the garage since I cant tune my TV to use those old systems anymore :/ Ah well. PSX PS2

True.. good movie.. but not really one that should be breaking records. Then again the opening weekend thing doesnt measure the strength of a movie as much as the hype surrounding its release so Im unbothered by it.

Cacodemon-circa-Doom3-ripoffs at least. The big ball things with heaps of eyes that spit acid on ya. Seemed like a spitting image to me... :/

That was a nice touch. I'm definately warming up to the game now. POSSIBLE SPOILER? The thing with the children later on.. I assume its not really a spoiler since this was in the demo. Fighting a bunch of possessed ghost children along with Tommy all 'wtf' got me into this hard. Then the cacodemon ripoffs 5 seconds later let me down again. Either way I feel bad for kinda slandering this game before.

Mine has to be Snow Castle. Stalking Wolves comes in at a close second.

Hell yes. Thanks man- saved me signing up at Shadowhaxors.

Thanks. That pretty much assuaged the fears I had... Im gonna settle for the Jap one now.

Downdater Out Tomorrow Check The Video Check it. Very 1.00. Unsigned code. No exploits. Sounds like fun aye?

I'll look forward to reading it. I've been worried by the varied reports about this game- its responsiveness and graphic quality etc were all sure to take a hit but I heard somewhere that the framerate is jumpy / inconsistant? I want some first hand retail experiences before I lay down for that asian english version (UK release is a distant 2 months off).

Too bad I sold my GTA and upgraded. Ah well... wasn't willing to take the risk when I had 2.00 either.

Well done. Now your life will either get a whole lot better in the next year or a whole lot worse. Good times. Miss them.

I really hope that Venom appearing is not shifted towards the end and only there to keep everyone anticipating 4 knowing that hell actually be doing crap in that movie. That would piss me off royal coz honestly wtf is having the Sandman as the main guy when we could have had Venom.

Yeh it and a lot of other Prey trivia is here. What I want to know is if the 4 tracks KMFDM recorded for Prey back in 1998 have ever, or will ever be available to get anywhere. Ideas?

The question was more of what you guys who think its the shi t because of, and less 'convince me to play it.' Chill the flock out. I think the notion of Turok meets Quake sums up the way I feel about this pretty well. Turok is cool. Quake is cool. This is cool. But its not new. I'll still play it because it's cool but I still can't see what is sooo special about it barring its almost 10 year production history.
