Video Game General 7.0: Day Juan Ys: MoC June 9th & Wonderful 101 June 30th!

oh Konami owns it?! Goddammit :-1: Well SO MUCH FOR THAT hope.

if only there was a way to boot those chumps out of the industry, and have a different and capable company acquire all those IPs…then there would be nice things to look forward to.

Bloody Roar was a Hudson IP and Konami has all of Hudson’s stuff. I would view this news with a truckload of skepticism.

Game developers are funny sometimes…Nomura didn’t even know he was gonna be the director until after the game had already been shown at E3.

Watched Castlevania on Netflix and played the shit out of Bloodstained ROTN and COTM–need more Castlevania. This stupid video cracked me up and now have the urge to play SOTN. What’s the best way to play SOTN right now? Heard something about the 30th anniversary wasn’t faithful or something can’t recall but remember some complaint about it.

Did you play Bloodstained?

Yeah, the full game and the 8-bit side game (which was way better than I expected). It’s the first game I’m on the verge of platinuming (the full game) before I slowed on it months ago. So good.

I don’t how much of an interest there is in Command and Conquer here, but tomorrow is when pre-orders close for the special editions that Limited Run are going to have made. Just snagged me a copy.

Originally, I wasn’t going to buy it; but the remastered music from Frank Klepacki sold it for me.

If it’s an IP Konami is reviving always bet on it being for a pachinko company or hotel chain

I’m pretty sure Gamestop prefers it’s employees know nothing about videogames.

What a great gif. :rofl:

Ah, if only this were more of a traditional game though…it frustrates me to no end that this is one of those “visual novels”. …anyway, this dlc lets the player play as a “Lasombra” clan vamp…
(*quick cliff notes on Lasombra-- they are masters of shadow-oriented supernatural abilities; things like making clones of themselves out of shadows, forming weapons, disappearing into shadows and re-appearing elsewhere, etc. Their curse is that they don’t appear in mirrors or any reflective surfaces…they also don’t show up on video footage or photography; either not at all or just flickering like the camera feed is glitched out…and they take twice as much damage from sunlight as a normal vamp)

Welcome back Commander

I wonder when Capcom is going to announce Dino Crisis as a remake.

The version on requiem (recent ps4 release) is fine. The nitpicking you’ll see is mostly because it’s a port of the psp port, which had a better translation than the original English version. Those of us who played sotn back when it was released have nostalgia for the corniness of the original script and voice acting. Honestly, it’s an overhyped criticism- the game wasn’t made great by any of that, it it’s great because it’s a fun game. And with requiem, you’ll also get Rondo of Blood, which is among the best (arguably the best, to many) of the classic style castlevania games. You’ll find other minute criticisms of the port as well, but none of it detracts from the fun of these games.

If anybody is interested, Gamestop has DBZ : Kakarot as the online deal of the day for $35

Ah ok leave it to “fans” to blow it out of proportion–definitely gonna check that out. Played Rondo over 10 years ago on PC Engine emulator. Only beat it as Maria, which some consider cheating heh. Might as well revisit it.
