McPhee Posted August 8, 2008 Share Posted August 8, 2008 Can anyone suggest a good 360 arcade stick? The controller is beginning to annoy me in Soul Calibur IV! I always wind up using a really wierd grip; index + middle finger of my right hand on the YBAX buttons, 3rd finger on RB and little finger on RT, left hand as normal. I'm thinking a stick will be a lot easier/faster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wesley Posted August 9, 2008 Share Posted August 9, 2008 So I've finally started playing Blue Dragon, I had it unplayed for around 11 months. Pretty solid. Strange the way the skills work. You have your shadow class... then skills based on that class. But you can look at these skills on the shadow menu and the seperate skills menu. It's like they overlap... or I'm missing something.

Hero-of-Time Posted August 9, 2008 Share Posted August 9, 2008 Here's a few snippets from an interview with RARE On the return of Conker Will we ever see that cute rodent Conker again? VideoGamer.com has another chat with Rare's Nick Burton about it, "We'd be stupid if we didn't, like we have done with Banjo, if we didn't have Conker back at some point," said Burton. "But to continually do sequel after sequel after sequel for something is hard on the team because they get locked into a sequel mentality, so they don't do new things necessarily. And that can be bad for your staff in general, that can be bad just for morale... it's better to let things have a hiatus for a while." Conker had so much attitude and you can never get enough of what he says. Only time will tell if the little guy will be seen again. On making a sequel to Kameo Nick Burton, Rare's senior software engineer has said he was keen to begin work on a Kameo sequel immediately after the first game was completed. VideoGamer.com has the interview with Burton, "This is just me personally, I was very big for the second we got Kameo out, for hitting the deck running and going right we're doing Kameo 2, we're going to take 12 to 18 months to do it, bang, it's done," explained Burton. "But for one reason or another we didn't do that in the time frame where you could hit that sweet spot. So she's got to take a hiatus." How long we'll need to wait before we see the sequel is currently uncertain, with Burton noting it depends on a lot of factors. "That is the unknown. It could be short, it could be long. It depends on the team, it depends on the market, it depends on the portfolio from other studios. There's so many factors that get involved in making that decision that it's impossible to say at any one time. "I could say to you now, no, 18 months at least. In reality, everything might come into alignment at the end of next week and suddenly it's like, yeah go and start doing that. And it might be out of our control. It might be because suddenly there's a massive gap in the portfolio where there's no games like that at all coming down the pipe in two years' time," said Burton. "And then if the resources were there, let's say Banjo's finished but they decide they want to do something different, and then there's this opening for Kameo, what I'm saying now could be completely wrong in three months, four months time. But it's not something that one studio can just go, yes we are going to do this now, because if you do that that's when you might time it wrong." We might not see a sequel to Kameo for a while, but we do have games such as Viva Pinata: Trouble in Paradise and Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts to look forward to from Rare. Source: xbox360achievements.org I would love to see a sequel to Kameo, love that game to bits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimmy3000 Posted August 9, 2008 Share Posted August 9, 2008 Started eternal sontata today.. pretty good stuff! I love the colourful graphics and the music is great aswell.

Guest Stefkov Posted August 10, 2008 Share Posted August 10, 2008 I've just been reading some threads about Braid and quite a lot of things have come to light that I over looked and just would never have thought of. The constellation in the sky before you walk through to where the Worlds are. Apparently you collect stars in the levels to fill up the constellation. I'm not sure what for though. I was too busy trying to figure out why I was just reversing time and watching myself go through the level backwards again and if I had done something wrong. But if you actually thought about it, the Princess is in fact running away from you. It all starts when you get on that platform outside the Princess's window, well you were peeping on her. She's running away from you, pulling the levers to stop you from chasing her not to help you. Then the dialogue with the Knight is well done, she's asking the Knight to save her from you not to save her from the Knight. This game is seriously well done. To think that I spent a few days playing as a stalker. You can also read all of the books in Level 1 apparently. I must try that. And collecting the stars. It's such a good, well thought out game.

I cant wait to give this a go, will get me all hyped ready to see Clone Wars on Friday oh, superb. been keeping an eye out for this. I'm a little concerned the control scheme might be beyond me (got a poor right hand. complicated...) so it'll be nice to give it a whirl first.

Chuck Posted August 11, 2008 Share Posted August 11, 2008 You should all head out to your local blockbusters for some crackin deals. I had a look in my local to find a whole new games section which took over half the shop. Aswell as the advertised games starting from £9.99 (Including John Woo and Gears for that price) They had a range of deals for games catagorised by release date. Cant remember the exact bundles because there were so many. There are also a number of games for a number of different prices under different deals. For example John woo was advertised for £10 but I picked it up (I think mispriced) in a 5 for £25 offer. So I went on a spree, having only gone to pick up Skunky Gears for £10. I purchased Kameo 2wice (Skunky was wondering wether to pick it up on the cheap so I got 2 EDIT ffs you bought it you pleb). I also got Fuzion Frenzy and Football manager 2006 (cocked up my gamerscore ending in a 5 or 0 so wanted to pick it up to finish after 2 years of waiting). So yea, head down to Blockys and grab yourself a bargain even if they havent put newer games in the bargain bin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
