Solo

Well hi there! You couldn't have picked a better forum my good sir. Welcome.

It's being developed by Dimps (the dudes that did Sonic Advance and Rush series) instead of Sonic Team. Good or bad news I don't know cos i've never played them.

From that video it looks a little unoriginal, 'Splash Hill', 'Casino Street', pull your thumb out Sonic Team it's like you're on auto-pilot!

What if it turned out to be 1600? You never know, the amount of time and polish they're (supposedly) putting into it and the fact it's Rare, M$ might try and push a more 'premium' price! If that is the case, which i'm sure it won't be, then all hell will break loose.

I do miss the Mako a bit, after all, planet scanning got tedious pretty quick.

I'm guessing 1200? No more, no less.

Yeah it is actually a pretty good film, I would put that down more to Colin Firth's brilliant performance than Ford's direction, which is a little too Mendes-y.

I hope so because that's all the first film is; a big mediocre set up to a presumably more interesting sequel.

Avatar isn't the best film ever but it will stay with me for a while, unlike Sherlock Holmes which was incredibly average and instantly forgettable.

They look cool but I can't be bothered to do all that for a 5% stat bonus.

I have a question: when you complete the game and start a new, are all the upgraded loyalty characters still in effect? Or do you literally start all over again, I'm asking because I want to go through on insanity and don't fancy doing all the side missions again.

Yeah I felt bad attacking my own kind, especially when I was an alien; I just wanted to team up with my own species! Although I did find the demo a bit wank, I watched a few videos of the campaign and it looks fantabulous, so my expectations are sort of hovering in the middle.

I read that it's going to run at 60fps!!!!!!!!!!!!

Nooo noo, read what I wrote about it, his fandomness is blinding him!:wink: it's a really sloppyily made demo. Do not judge the final product from this crap. Aliens: Colonial Marines on the other hand will (hopefully) be the ultimate alien experience when that comes out next year.

It's amazing how the alien faces look more realistic/believable than human faces (which look ugly and depressing).

Ohhh the hours and hours I spent playing 'Find Luigi' on Mari64 DS, those were the sweet, sweet days. *tear* RIP your DS

I wish they were tbh. He runs like a spaz.

Yeah I agree with you and I've only played the demo, from watching the videos I can see this will make a perfect rental.

This game (well, the demo at least) is shit. The graphics are U.G.L.Y, it's too dark (and not in a good way; marine torch sucks). All three characters have no weight and just don't feel right. Marine - There's no kickback from the pulse rifle, it just feels too light. The smart rifle, flamethrower and shotgun all look, feel and sound wrong. Alien - The controls were far too fiddly and you can easily get disorientated what with all the surface transitions. There were many chances to drop down on a marine only for the controls to get in the way and I ended up doing some lame claw attack. But then again the stealth kills can be activated from about a mile away. Predator - The map didn't allow for the Pred to really shine, as it was just a load of dark corridors and small rooms. I couldn't really find any decent vantage points, still, I can see the Pred will be the most fun to play. I'm giving this an unfair bashing because it's only one map, and an extremely crap map at that. I'm confident the campaign will be awesome, but I think the game needs some serious polishing and a huge dose of FUN injected into the multiplayer.

I'm looking to get a cheap PS3 (second hand pref) but I was more leaning on getting the old premium, is it worth it or would any version do?

I was about to criticise the fact that you seem to spend most of the time just recruiting people but then BAM a load of interesting side missions opened out in front of me... this game is huge!

Unfortunately from that trailer it looks more like Sonic Rush animation than anything else. And how did Sonic 3 not feel like a complete game? I mean ok so the final boss was a bit anti-climatic but the rest of the game was lengthy, challenging and overall pretty epic.

I don't find that it's episodic to be a problem considering each episode is meant to be the length of a full Sonic game.

I'd much rather the soundtrack be closer to that of 3 and Knuckles than the first two, the music was wayy better. (Except Chemical Plant Zone which is the bestest Sonic tune in the worldz).

I have zero excitement for this game, dunno why cos I loved the first. Unlike with ME2's universe I just don't feel the need to revisit rapture.
