@Mokong X\-C Thanks man! I think I'm really stuck getting into the Police Station. I tried going in through the main entrance, but no I don't think I had the Social Enhancer upgrade and the guy didn't let me in. I just got some XP points for talking things out with him. I don't seem to have the experience level to hack the door in the sewer :/ Maybe the fire escape option is available to me, but I now can't remember why I didn't take that way either... maybe it was too high? I have to go back and have a look. I'm annoyed now I didn't do the Social upgrade :p or did I?... hmm. Hopefully I'll have time to give it a go over the weekend.

Just going through watching it now @ReZourceman You might want to check 4:50 ;p

@Mokong X\-C Thanks for the tips man! Yeah I'm going stealthy, I have been hiding bodies somewhat, but I'll know not to worry too much now necessarily. Yeah I did notice other guards waking a sleeping guard up and then go on alert, so I restarted, but that seems to be ok now then too! Couple of questions: If you see hackable garages/lock-ups on the street can you just go ahead and do them? Also, on that same theme, I've got a few side quests now... One I got a whole ago was getting into a guys apartment, the guy with the security gates. I'm guessing you aren't just meant to go through these?... I have seen there is a rooftop jump heading in the direction of the guys apartment, but I'm not powered up enough to make it. Is that related to the same sidequest and I come back later, or is that something else? Maybe I do just hack the gate? ;p although there's also a suspended fire escape ladder near the gates too. I've now got to get into the police station, but the 'way in' is saying I'm not experienced enough to hack it. Do I need to do some sidequests to get enough XP to reach that level first or am I missing something here? No spoilers though please ;p Oh and the man and wife I saved during the first mission, they have a hackable safe... is that just a test of character type thing? I feel they are nice people and I shouldn't be steeling from them!

Pokemon Snap needs to be something much more substantial and worthwhile an experience. And being on-rails was just so bad, and just seemed so unlikely a scenario! Set it on an unexplored island/group of islands like that of FarCry3's... the Madagascar of the Pokemon world... that features all the climatic environments you need. Give it a beautiful animated look, give you a back pack with your gamepad pokedex camera inside and just set you free to explore. There could be a main town and villages on the island to give you a narrative. You could come across other explorer's or photojournalists for sidequests or to team up with to obtain certain photographs/the rarest pokemon, with one of you luring them out and the other photographing it. Maybe you'd find clues to a Pokemons presence and have to come back at a certain time of day, hide and wait for it/set a trap An open world exploration game where you can just sink in and relax into the world.

Restarted and went stealthy... though I had one really close call that I'm not sure if it blew it or not? :/ I dropped down from a ceiling vent behind a guy to take him out, but my landing was louder than I thought it would be and he started to turn around and say something, but the takeout did go through... I hope that didn't balls anything up. Question: If guards or camera's are yellow alerted, does that have any effect on the stealth run through? Spent AGES in/restarting one of the labs to take the guys out successfully. The tranquilizer rifle came in handy and I think is a better weapon to play with than the stun gun.

Although I think Don Cheadle is signed for a few more films? but I don't know. Certainly he could start off this film filling the gap for the 'retired' Iron Man, and his death would be a way to get Tony back in the field. Although another death just to convince someone to do something?

I don't understand the idea of a Sinister Six side story... so it will just be about the villians or? Bit annoying how Sony and Fox are trying to emulate [and probably badly] Marvel, instead of just coming to some agreement with them, so they can at least mix and match and all make great movies.

There are a few reports coming in that War Machine is gonna be in this film... If this is true I really, really, really hope that it's War Machine and not Iron Patriot who IMO is truly and utterly awful!... in complete contrast to War Machine! Do you think there's any chance Ultron comes from the War Machine suit, being silver? Having said that, maybe he'll just show up/cameo in the final fight.

Ah yeah! I remember we talked about this once before. Basically imagine the guy you play as in this footage as Samus, and you begin to get an idea of how great a game you could create in the Metroid universe... Set it against some creepy unknown threat, throw in some Metroid's that burst through glass, smash through vents and basically come flying at you out of the darkness when you least suspect it. The Space Pirates could show up to give it some great moments of action too. What a game you could create!

Haha, yep I got a bit teary eyed too. [/bigGirl]

So I've finally started playing my PS3 version of this, it's not the Director's Cut, but hey ho.

My god I love the idea of a Mushroom Kingdom inspired Little Kings Story type game!! The idea has a bit of a Mario RPG vibe about it too. There's such great potential for bosses in different regions of the Kingdom, Bowser, DK, Wart, Boswer Jr, Wario, Birdo, Chibi Robo?... Peach, Daisy, Rosalina, Paulina, Toadette... could be princesses you rescue... Troops could be Toads, different colour Yoshi's for diferent abilities/attacks, Koopa's, Goomba's, Luma's for spells etc... Aaaaah Man!! Why did Nintendo not think of this!!

Didn't you tell someone off for hyperbole the other day? ;p

http://uk.ign.com/articles/2013/12/12/bayonetta-2-producer-laments-requests-for-ports Though fans have been fairly insistent that Platinum rethinks the exclusivity situation, the developer has explained on more than one occasion that the circumstances surrounding the sequel's development means this is unlikely to happen. The studio has even had to bat away requests for another of its projects, The Wonderful 101, to become multiplatform, so you can understand his frustration.

Kyle Bosman's just perfect summary of the VGX awards! http://www.gametrailers.com/videos/ey6k9g/the-final-bosman-vgx-takeaways I was actually crying with laughter at the Nintendo post credits part

Next up the difficult third single. Sunday!

The petal version of Dixie Kong.

I think it will be their big Christmas 2014 game (DKC in Feb/March, Mario Kart in May, Yoshi in Autumn?). I don't know what that game would be otherwise because surely we'd have heard about that one by now.

Ahh yes Smyth... Red Skull was definately in the 90's Spiderman cartoon for one of the story lines, because that would have been the only way I knew about the character before the recent Marvel films, but I'm not sure what the story would have been? I did think it may have been Sinister Six related, but hmmmm...

There will be far better things to watch/play/do over Christmas

Have they made that Mewtwo intro and stage(?) themselves?... so cool!

I don't mind the concept of there being a Sinister 6 puppet master, be it Osborn or Kingpin, but in the comics/cartoons all the villians are established anyway. I dunno, in principle the idea is ok... I just hope the villains are more than just thugs in the films. Do we think Electro will survive this film and be in the Sinister 6? Question: Also... in the 90's cartoon I seem to remember Red Skull being involved in the Sinister 6 story, is that right? And Another: What was that bad guy in the 90's cartoon that was kind of like a servant to Kingpin maybe? and had the weird shoulders?

Nintendo clarify release date...

PS4/Xbone release date and details...

I'm not sure who will end up being the Venom of this movie, if by that you mean shoehorned in? Because it seems Spidey will come up against Rhino during the intro and then later on in his mech suit... Goblin initially seems rushed into this movie, but if the Norman Osborn story is a constant throughout these films then Harry's Goblin could actually be the best planned villian. ... which leave Electro... certainly the focus seems to have shifted further and further away from him as development of this movie has gone on? maybe he'll end up being the third wheel.
