Genuinely shocked that they've gone ahead and signed exactly who I was asking for, who was the actual obvious choice, but heck yeah, finally! Now let's just hope there aren't any skeletons in the closet please, that's how we lost the obvious best coach in the world in Allardyce

And it is confirmed: Imagine he'll be back for the main theme of the VII remake trilogy closer at least. Legend. EDIT: He's had to clarify because it seems everyone thought he was fully retiring As reported previously, he just won't be working on a soundtrack from beginning to end any more.

All-new PlayStation Plus: Premium / Deluxe | Extra | Essential
Julius replied to Julius's topic in Other Consoles
No trophies sucks, but to somehow make it even worse, I'm reading now (and just checked the PS Store myself to verify, and it appears to be true) – you can actually buy Dino Crisis, it can only be played with a PS+ Premium sub? Meaning there's also no cross-buy with the PS3 or Vita for those PS Classic releases. VS Shocking isn't it, really? For all the good stuff Capcom has done to turn their to around over the course of nearly a decade now, what a weird thing to falter on: no trophies, not actually being able to give them your money for some of their games, and doing a poor job of releasing certain classic games on modern platforms. This should be such an easy win for them -
Favourite stuff by far from the leaks for me has been the concept art and high quality artwork, some really lovely stuff. I mean just look at these Raikou frames someone put together to show it in motion, it's really quite lovely! Some other really great bits of key art, promo art, concept art and drafts and character sheets for the anime, and things like high quality renders of the art used for the cards or CG renders of backgrounds for the cards (like Holon!). Also really love that we've got the box arts in all their glory, though I can imagine some resellers might try to take advantage of those floating around. One of my favourites has been the high quality version of the Pokéathlon promo art for HGSS. Going to have a proper flick through all of the art at some point and download what I can, probably post some of my favourites in here once I have done

Krypto is going to be in Superman, apparently, which has caught me a bit off-guard but I mean I'm here for it:
-
UK concert dates and locations – Birmingham is up first!
-
Huh, they've just moved the start date in Dublin back to April 19th and removed Antwerp, Belgium and Tampere, Finland. Very strange. Hope there aren't any other concerts cancelled!
-
PlayStation The Concert – World Tour 2025-2026 announced! No dates/costs up yet, but it's hitting Birmingham so I'm going for sure
-
Key art and a release date of November 12th it is!
-
Over 3 million copies sold worldwide within its first 24 hours of release. (Source) Well, damn.

Oof, South Kalos apparently being a thing but never getting a chance in the games hurts. Especially because it's kind of reminding me of the Battle Zone in DPPt, just with the way it expands the map, seems pretty obvious it would've been host to the post-game. Got a chance to put that right with Z-A I guess

Microsoft has settled its Antitrust Games Lawsuit:

Another unreleased title, Super Yoshi / Yoshi's Egg: This thing just keeps going deeper and deeper, huh? My favourite reaction to all of this: Also Beta Zigzagoon is just the best: Also really appreciated someone putting frames of Typhlosion's walk cycle together, looks so cool in motion: I mean, yeah, it's pretty clear to me that the leaks around the purported myths would be that they were the initial works which they boiled down further and further until we got what was in the games (DPPt). Kind of surprised, though I know I probably shouldn't be, at the backlash to those supposed myth concepts – they weren't included in the final game, they're clearly in parallel to and pulling from actual IRL myths and legends, and yet I'm seeing some people call it pedophilic? Which...uh, how? What? It's a concept which was never going to see the light of day and was clearly intended as lore, reminds me of those people who call certain films and shows and the people behind them misogynistic just because they have a character in it who is misogynistic Definitely some misinformation starting to go around though, like you say. If nothing else it keeps us on our toes, but why must people be like this?!

The 2024 Events Thread – La Li Lu Le Lo and Behold, E3 is Dead
Julius replied to Julius's topic in General Gaming Discussion
Xbox Partner Preview this Thursday (17th) at 18:00 BST; -
Demo trailer – for a demo which is live right now! I doubt I'll be playing this but man, that music is hype The backend of this year is seriously so stacked for JRPGs. Not that I'm complaining! This is on all platforms the game is releasing on, by the way
-
Nintendo coming in with their overview trailer, really ramping stuff up in marketing now that there's only 1 month to go! Love these overview trailers they put together. First of the Erdrick Trilogy (I - III) chronologically, yeah, and would set you up wonderfully for the I & II HD-2D Remakes next year so a perfect diving in point I think, without the crazy long runtimes of VIII and XI. They're very cozy and warm games, absolutely perfect for this time of year See, this is how you end up with @Ike on your doorstep giving you one of these:

Well, while the official DQ account is busy lying through their teeth (I jest ), here's a good bit of new footage to look at courtesy of the PlayStation channel! That music, those sound effects... Some details from the PS Blog: We're all Follow Orders people here, right?
-
Same I really wanted to know what happened to the battle screen, maybe there were some larger sprites where they just couldn't get the look right or whatever, but some sort of justification would've been nice to hear Surely we see an indie game adopt this style of battle screen sooner rather than later?
-
Okay, not exactly what I was expecting these to be, but the first of the "evolution" videos has dropped: So jolly
-
We're going to be getting some footage on the evolution of this game in the coming week, with Square Enix releasing daily videos to showcase this at 10:00 BST. Very much looking forward to this, and serious Chrono Trigger vibes from that wonderful concept art – for obvious reasons I suppose! Where's everyone's hype at for this? We're now just 1 month away from its 14th November release date. I'm getting my fill of JRPGs with what I'm playing now so I think I'm at like a 7/10? But imagine that hunger is going to grow once I round the game I'm playing off and switch it up a bit to grow that JRPG appetite back

More leaks doing the rounds, and this time they revolve around some weird in-universe myths akin to the ones you can find in Canalave Library in the Sinnoh games, and it seems like Game Freak really went in on blurring the relationship lines between humans and Pokémon in the in-game myths based on their original ideas for these. There's one about the "Original Sin based on the Pokémon World", wherein a horrible woman who hunts the likes of Slakoth and Vigoroth ends up giving birth to a Slakoth who dies and she throws herself and the dead Slakoth into a lake? So, uh, yeah. There's another where some guy and an Ursaring end up choking each other to death, who was actually born from an Octillery having relations with a human (his dad), and another with, uh, a woman married to a Typhlosion after being kidnapped, gaslit, and giving birth to a half-human half-Pokémon. Similar weird story with a Lapras to the Octillery one, too, think it might have been that story condensed a bit? Oh and a dude marries a Rapidash who asks him to not kill the female Rapidash (his "sister-in-laws") or the female Ponyta (who are "like his children"). Female author for all of these by the way, and the same one at that. She's got a lot of answering to do for her hand in where the furry scene is about to go, I'm telling you Elsewhere there was a wonderful bit of hand drawn Rayquaza art which is well worth tracking down! And there's some HGSS beta UI floating about which I really like the look of! There's also a 3D model of Hilda from Gen V who was used in the early prototype stages for X&Y (similar to how Lucas was for BW), and something Game Freak referred to as the "Masuda camera" – a much more dynamic camera which looks real good but didn't make it into the final product for X&Y.

Wouldn't surprise me if they did considering the escalation we've seen from there just being mentions in project files, to mentions in anime plans, to "a complete build", to, well, the entire game's source code apparently being included – and they're claiming they have it for the Gen X games too (which last night we learned were codenamed K and N, what are we just the table of elements now?). As we all know, you NEVER screw with the money. Forget about the Nintendo ninjas, this guy's actually just going to turn up in an alleyway somewhere, chunks of his body looking like they were sucked off clean by an extremely powerful vacuum, and a Mario cap with eyes over his head. They're about to send in their best.
