  1. :wtf::sad:

    I went to play MM looking forward to returning the princess back to the dekus and then WTF, it started off back at my last save before my save yesterday, although i'm 100% sure that I did save. Either the game is playing up or my 'Cube is. Deku Temple again :bah:

  2. im not saying graphics isnt what sells a game, im saying graphics doesnt make a game better

    Graphics can make games better, because say for example, a Zelda game, they can add to the atmosphere to create a more magical,emotional setting compared to say if everywhere the graphics in Twilight Princess looked like say this

  3. :shock:

    I just realised IGN had posted tons of information about it!

    Check this out! (I've bolded the really interesting bits)

     

    Fully unveiled in the latest issue of Japan's Famitsu magazine as one of Namco's big Tokyo Game Show unveilings, Baten Kaitos 2 takes place 20 years prior to the start of the original. You play as Sagi, a member of the empire's "Elite" force of fighters. Sagi heads off on a quest to determine the nature of a mysterious change that's appearing in the world.

    Actually, you don't play as Sagi like you play as the main characters of other RPGs. You actually play as a spirit that resides within Sagi, an entity that represents Sagi's "true self," and give "advice" to Sagi as the game progresses. The notion of a spirit residing in a character is actually a part of the Baten Kaitos storyline. The world of Baten Kaitos was formed when the living spirits of two separate worlds connected, and people who have spirits within them are considered wise.

     

    With Baten Kaitos 2 taking place in the same world as the original, you might expect to see the original's cast of characters return -- and you'd be right. Gibari returns as a 14-year-old. Savyna is just 5 in Baten Kaitos 2! Also known to return are Geldoblame (25) and Ladekahn (12).( :shock: Savyna when she was 5, lol, should be interesting...)

     

    The cast also has some newbies aside from Sagi. The game's heroine is Miri, a friend of Sagi who joins you from the start of your adventure. Also joining in on the fun is Giro, a strange doll who comes into the picture mid way through the adventure.

     

    The original title was known for its gorgeous world art, and Baten Kaitos seems like it won't break the budding tradition. In fact you can actually count on seeing many of the same dungeons and towns from the original in the sequel, although they now allow for players to explore alternate areas. New areas will also appear in the game, including brand new continents.

     

    Gameplay will feature a return of the card-based Magnus battle system. Details have yet to be revealed, but with Baten Kaitos 2 due for Japanese release in December, we doubt we'll have to wait too long to see more. Stay tuned!

  4. Surely you mean Vigoro is wearing less clothes, not Aika?

     

    In the Jap version of the scene he takes his shirt off and the language is a lot more suggestive.

     

    Edit: Oh, and Stocka - Ramirez avatars beat Vyse ones :D

    Heh, I once had a ramirez sig for ages at CE but eventually changed it. I had my favourite quote of his under my avatar..at CE..argh I forgot to put it in here :heh:

    I think I'll put it in my sig instead.

    But yeah, Ramirez is fecking awesome, I couldn't decide out of Vyse and him who to have in my sig but went for Vyse in the end for some reason hehe. Perhaps because he's not a villain.

     

    does anyone have any news on SoA 2?

    If there was any, I would of exploded by now

  5. Well we have the controller shell to look forward to...

    It has been confirmed by Nintendo that there is to be an outer shell with standard controls that will house the Revolution's controller and allows gamers to then play retro games or simple ports of other titles (although the tilt sensor could be used in conjunction). No images have been revealed, but IGN has already created a mock-up
