ha, this year it takes place while i'm away on holiday in the Philippines and they don't get live broacasts (it'll likely be shown 2weeks later, but heavily cut and edited) making this the first Maina i have missed in about 8 years i think

Woot, finally unlocked Super Excite mode, getting the S rank on Platinum Scotland was a tough one, i kept falling just short, but last night as the clock reached midnight i said, "ok just one more try", and as i neared the finish line in 2nd place i had 129points, managed to just barely pull off a 1 star dirft just before crossing the finish line and with the 2nd place bonus of 25 put me spot on the require 155, wohoo...now onto Super Excite

I just put the "The Touch" from the Transformers Animated Movie soundtrack on my SD card, was brilliant having a race when that came on. Got to try multiplayer too, but it took my cousins awhile to get used to the controls, i had to let them try the tutorils and a bit of one player for about 30mins before they could give me a decent race in 2 player. Oh yeah, can anyone recomend for me the best trucks to use on Scotland and Canada tracks on the Platinum Cup, these are the only two i have left to get S ranks on and can't seem to get near the required score

That's the best idea i've heard in a long time.... Can somebody get this guy on the Namco board of directors please? haha OMG, Phantasia 2 on DS and Abys and Harmony for Wii, i'm gonna go into RPG and "Tales of" overload. ANd i just had a massive idea, i'm gonna use that Everybody Votes channel to suggest a poll for "Do you want to see a direct sequal to Tale of Symphonia on the Wii", hey it's worth a shot : peace:

Oh man, just realised how awesome watching replays are, when you use the side camera and just look at the view, it's like they created a whole world, it just keeps on going and looks fabulos, especailly on the China tracks. What songs have ye been using, I went an used some tracks from 1080 Avalanche, which was kinda of weird, Cauterize - Choke, works just as great on this as it did on 1080, gives a great rush, Seethers "Fine Again", perfect for replays. Also Iron Maidens, "Bring Your Daughter To the Slaugther" and "Run To Hills" Hot Action Cops, "Fever For The Flava" and "Goin Down On It" Less Than Jakes "She's Gonna Break Soon" And some music from Philippine and Japanese bands I have (including the japanse intro song from Tales of Symphonia ) all work so great while playing

So if i'm a nutcase, what does that make you? haha Imagine how great a year this would be if we got a direct sequal to Smyphonia AND we also get the OVA this year too.. wohoooooooo

I got this, and cleared up to the gold cup, awesome stuff, i had to laugh a few times though when i found myself still trying to use the d-pad to turn and wondering why is my engine over heating, ahaha. But well used to the controls now, hitting turbo jumps and massive air is brilliant, and when you get a good run of turbo jumps and perfect landings the sense of speed and the rush you get is amazing. Love the custom sound track too, so great being able to play a racing game without needing to put on the cd player at the same time.

I'l be getting this tomorrow, i just finished filling my spare SD card with mp3's in preperation, finally i get to play a Nintendo console with Iron Maiden coming from the speakers, the perfet combination

If they announced a direct sequal to Symphonia with all the characters coming back I will have a heart attack, to which someone will have to find a half-elf to yell out "RESURRECTION" to bring me back so i can play the game. Lloyld and Sheena FTW!

I always thought a producer had more say than the director? And that's the reason? Because of Herbie?, did anyone make that comparision when watching the cartoon? NO. Does Herbie tansform into a robot? NO. Honestly that is pretty weak, IMO

That would only be a half assed way to get it in there, to really make the fans happy (and kinda as an appology for not using the "proper" vehicle model for Optimus) it HAS to be full blown background music. Imagine this: The start of the final "big" battle at the end of the film (or actually maybe even the first fight of the film, kinda like how it was used in the animated film), a big desert area, Autobots on one side, Deceptacons on the other (or coming out of some hidden cave/base). "The Touch" begins to play as the camera zooms in on Optimus standing in robot form, zooms at ground level towards his feet, then moves up to his face the sun reflecting of his metallic face, Music cuts off just before the lyrics kick in (like teasing us), Otimus: It ends here Megatron Megatron: Why throw your life away so wrecklessly Prime (again that's a reference to the animated film) Optimus: You should ask yourself the same question. Do you yeild? Megatron: NEVER, Deceptocons Destory them, Optimus: Autobots Transform and roll out "The Touch" kicks back in where it left off showing some transformations and both sides rushing each other, then big fight. I don't think it's really the "robot" forms that's pissing people off, its more the change in vehicle models, the biggest of which being Optimus Prime sure he's a truck but it's the WRONG type of truck

Yeah i saw the ending yesterday (couldn't watch it Wednesday due to the football), i think the certainly left it open, for all the reasons darksnowman mentioned above and also because we still actually don't know how the objects were created. They gotta make a full series even if its just one season i'll be happy so long as all doors get closed, pardon my pun

God damn it will they ever hurry up with that Stars to Points thing, i'm depending on that for my VC purchases. Although, i still haven't finished with the two VC games i have d/l'ed anyway, Super Castlevania i'm only on level 4, and Super Mario Bros. well this is reminding me so much of what it was like when i was kid, I get up to world 8-3 just fine then it all goes down the drain, i alway seem to take a hit and lose my fire power, making those damned hammer bros my worst nightmare. Though last night finally made it to the last level and i realised i don't remember how to beat it, so it's like playing it for the first time again

Holy Crap, the original had old Jack Thompson foaming at the mouth, imagine with the possible control scheme for the Wii version this will have Jacky and his minions screaming from the rooftops..... (so lets follow them and push them off )

when i saw the thread title i was so happy, but this CGI news i'm not so sure of. I guess it'll feeling more like something tottally different in CGI and for fans of the first two it might not seem like a continuation but a strange new begining

Note: Merged the thread about the "save system" into here, the offical Z:TP thread

Well considering their calling this OVA1 and i'm pretty sure i saw something that looked like a boxset box on the OVA site, i'm sure this will come out in at least 3 or 4 parts. eg. The begining part in Sylvarant, ending when they arrive in tethe'alla. Then part 2 travelling round tethe'alla up to the part when the great seed goes nuts and creates that deformered giant tree. Part 3, starting with the plan to stop the deformed giant tree, right up the the end of the games story arc. Part 4, some new story of what happens to the characters after the game story arc. There's just no way they could condense it all down into one part

wicked, cheers dude. I can't wait for this. I love the skit scene you get towards the end i think it is, Sheena mentions something about needing to get married for something (can't remember it exactly), and one of your choices as Lloyd is "Hey I'll marry you", i always pick that, haha. As for Colette, i think her relationship with Lloyd should be more like that of a best friend or maybe sister/brother relationship (i know their not actually siblings but he could consider her like the sister he never had and vice versa), that would give good reason for them to care about each other without any romantic feelings. Leaving the door wide open for Sheena

i own two real and sharpened swords for this very reason. A nice long sword is the best kind of weapon for zombie attack, you can attack at a decent distance (although if you screw up things might get bad) and should be able to do enough head damage, of course if you can get hold of a gun that's great...so long as you got bullets.

could be my first DDR too... i wonder might it be possible to to use ones own songs using SD cards? EDIT: oh they should definatley make it so the background dances can be your Mii's, that would be cool

thank you. So i'm guessing that's the Japanese release obviously, hopefully it won't be too long after till we get a fan sub, i can't wait. This is one of my most anticipated events of 2007, even more so than Spiderman 3 I can't wait to see what kind of direction they take the characters relationship directions. Obviously in the game we had control over that, so we all have our own hopes for how we'd like to see things go. Personally i want Lloyd and Sheena to end up togther at the end. Sheena pnws:heart:

i really enjoyed Zero, the item drop was great made the game much harder, when i played REmake and you can unlock a mode where the item boxes aren't connected, i used that all the time. Makes things more challanging, forces you to think ahead more and make plans. And don't get me started on those leechmen and monkeys, they still scare the bejesus out of me to this day.

I just had a thought, might the wiimote be used to create custom moves for your CAW's? At the very least custom taunt movements? Can't wait for this, hope they really work well on the controls and that they get a nice large roster of wrestlers in their, while the DOR games were great i felt the rosters were very limited and could have had more EDIT: Snap, i just realised, thanks to teh SD slot we'll be able to use our own music for our CAW's enterance themes, wohoo

it's not low budget (lest it doesn't look it anyway) and its one of those shows that keeps you guessing feeding you a little bit of info at a time. Not sure if it is a one of thing though, guess we'll find out next week after the final epsiode, see if there's any loose ends left. I have a feeling there might be more, cuz in what we've seen so far, i don't think its anywhere near finding all the "objects"

hold up, i haven't spent a single Star since the GC was release (May 4th 2002), if they bring in this 12 month time limit will this mean all the Stars we currently have older than 12months from when the 12month limit kicks in will be auto removed on the spot? They better get a move on so and give us the Star to Wii Point conversion, i've got over 12000 Stars, and i have no confidence we'll ever see anything decent in the UK&Ireland Star Catalogue, so Wii Points will be the best we could ever hope for, and i want them now so i can get me some free VC games, after 5 years it's about time we got something decent out of this program
