Tópico para todos os vídeos interessantes que estão surgindo na TGS 2008. Fiquem ligados, pois vamos atualizando o tópico assim que novos vídeos aparecerem.

Comecemos com R-Type Dimensions, remake do clássico para a Live:

Bayonetta (PS3):

Street Fighter 4, Sakura lutando:

Street Fighter 4 (reconfirmando a presença de Dan no jogo indiretamente em um trecho):

Resident Evil 5:

Prince of Persia:

So its not like these things are rare when it comes to major game shows such as TGS, though this is one I never forsaw coming. Microsoft's John Schappert has just announced that Tekken 6 will be avaiable for the Xbox 360 at launch! This autta' grind a few Sony gears eh? He goes on to say the game will launch in Fall 2009. A great lineup for fans of all sorts of Japanese game genres now on the Xbox 360. Though I'm sure we'll see more suprises as the night draws on (maybe one from Sony in retaliation).

Onto Xbox Live Arcade – "a beloved ecosystem" where classic games can find a new home. Taito is making Space Invaders Extreme and Arkanoid Live – updates of those two classic arcade hits. SNK is bringing Metal Slug 7 for Xbox Live Arcade. Also King of Fighters 98 Ultimate Match, in Spring 2009. Also R-Type Dimensions – there's a Tozai logo on the ground there, the same developers bringing Lode Runner to XBLA.

There are more than 14m people online with Xbox Live. Speaking of what Microsoft can do with Xbox Live, we're hopping over to the New Xbox Experience. He says this is the "complete" New Xbox Expereince being shown for the first time ever. It's complete folks, and it's coming this fall. (Can we just have it now?). The entire NXE is in Japanese – this thing is ready for Japan. We've got Avatars, Themes, everything you know and (want to) love. Also there's a new games channel, including the new games details page for "back of the box games details." We're into the Marketplace, browsing visually and says it's "much easier to find." We'll be the judge of that, thank you very much. He reminds us that we can ship for and download everything straight from Xbox.com. Spotlight channel, "anything on the service that's popular and new." The best Xbox has to offer all in one place. Still too clumsy for you badass super gamers? The guide of course duplicates much of the current interface with the push of the Xbox button. Here's a release date: 26 countries, localized in 19 languages, coming on November 19th.

Next in store for the Halo franchise: Halo Wars, being released "early next year" by the team who created Age of Empires (and, by the way, are currently being disbanded). Graeme Devine, Leady Story Writer for Halo Wars, is on stage telling us about the game, set 20 years before the beginning of Halo 1. Watching a demo. We're building a base, a supply pad, a barracks. All being controlled with the game's easy-to-use "circle menu." A Warthog is on screen and, sure enough, it looks like it controls like a Warthog. Devine says getting that feeling just right was very important from day one. We've got one more announcement here: The Flood is in Halo Wars! Grossssss.

Schappert says he hopes Halo Wars will help the strategy genre breakout on Xbox 360. "We're not quite done with Halo 3 yet." He's going to share the second part of the teaaser with us now. Drop pod hits a wall, security camera tracks it. ODST soldier climbs out. Halo 3 Recon! New Hero, new campaign. Prepare to drop. Fall 2009!

And that's about it, the keynote is just wrapping up now. Don't expect too much more out of Microsoft till tomorrow.

Amiga 500 var det naturliga steget att ta från C64, alla tiders häftigaste teknikpryl. Commodores prylar var heta och jag saknar de många roliga stunder man hade framför deras produkter. Amigan blev steget till något större. Mer eller mindre en riktig dator. Då. De riktiga storfräsarna hade råd att köpa en extern floppydrive. Så att man bara behövde byta diskett hälften så ofta. Ports of Call var det absoluta favoritspelet; att få driva sitt eget rederi och till slut kunna få köpa de finaste fartygen. Spelet var en härlig mix av strategi, taktik och fingerfärdighet (var det strejk i hamnen så var det bara att försöka lägga till själv, utan bogserbåtar vilket kunde vara nog så svårt i vissa hamnar). Hur som helst, mången kul timma gick åt att till vara redare, styrman, logistik- och säkerhetschef. Vid Amigan.

Stenas toppmoderna Arctica. Moderna fartyg fanns i Ports of Call, dock så var Göteborg ej med bland de hemmahamnar man kunde välja i den första versionen.

+ C64. Amiga 500 i all ära men tidernas pryl, den titeln måste gå till C64. Press play on tape. Minns med glädje alla höjdarspel; The Last Ninja, IO, R-type, Cauldron II, Ghost´n Goblins mfl. mfl. mfl.

A notícia que vai agradar os fãs de shoot'em ups foi divulgada pelo site gamerbytes. O mesmo órgão de classificação etária australiano que denunciou Mega Man 9 acabou revelando neste dia 1 o título R-Type Dimensions. O jogo, que sairá para a Live, está sendo desenvolvido pela Tozai, que também está fazendo o novo Lode Runner, e será publicado pela Microsoft, ao contrário de R-Type Tactics, que foi pela Irem. Agora é aguardar por mais informações sobre o jogo, mas já podemos deduzir que não será feito com gráficos remetendo aos 8/16-bits como Mega Man 9 ou Gradius Rebirth, uma vez que só será lançado para a Live, e provavelmente se tratará de um shooter clássico, uma vez que o mais novo título da franquia se saiu mal no PSP ao misturar o estilo com estratégia.

It's not that Beth and I fundamentally disagree on this, it's just that she can get some satisfaction out of the innumerable baby-meter web gadgets around, while I've been reduced to translating the pregnancy guides into R-Type boss monsters.

We're actually a bit past week 5 now, as near as I can figure this wacky scheduling system prenatal medicine came up with, but it's topical and all, and this is the flashiest of the series. So on to this "week"'s installment.

Forget GTA4. Forget MGS4. Forget all those fancy ass grafex titles for 2008. THIS was my most anticipated title of early 2008: R-Type Command.

I'm no shmup expert, but I enjoy dodging bullets. Hell, I admittedly suck at shmups. I can't stay alive for longer than a minute in ANY R-Type game, and that's exactly why I was itching to try this game as soon as I heard of it.

Whenever I hear the term “R-Type” my mind instantly recalls blazing fast action and excruciating difficulty. Both are staples of the series. On second thought, both are staples of the entire genre . One thing makes R-Type stand out from the crowd of shmups: the Force. Star Wars jokes are completely inappropriate here, because in R-Type, Forces are powerups that look like orange orbs with metallic appendages.

In all R-Type games, the player's ships get new shots and abilities whenever they pick up Forces. Forces can be attached in front or at the back of the ship, and they can neutralize all enemy bullets that they collide with. It's probably easy to see how this makes it a deep shmup in comparison to many others, and this is precisely the reason for my excitement about R-Type Command. I wanted to see them translate all this blazing speed, excruciating difficulty, and depth and technicality into a Turn-Based Strategy game, and I wanted them to do it successfully.

Now that I've explained why I was so excited about it, I'll explain why the game is so incredibly terrible.

Gameplay-wise, this game has nothing at all to do with the R-Type shmups. This is a turn-based strategy game that is VERY similar to Advance Wars. Hah, I'm sure some people have already called it an Advance Wars rip-off. Players buy units before the mission and assign formations right before the mission starts. Once in battle, you can move units one by one along a hexagonal grid, then command them to do whatever they can do. There are attack ships, resupply ships, scout ships, transport ships, and even Forces. Slow, easy, non-technical. Typical turn-based strategy gameplay.

Now for the problem: there is nothing at all outside the gameplay.

The game looks boring. On the battlefield, the game is made up of crappy-looking 2D sprites. (Please note that I have nothing against 2D. My favorite games are all in 2D.) By crappy, I mean worse than Castlevania IV crappy. There are very long, very useless, and very ugly 3D combat animations, but the only reason I watch those stupid things is to laugh at how different the sprites look from their 3D models.

The music is boring. There's nothing else I can say. I don't even know why I made a separate paragraph for that. Boring, boring, boring. I'd take Harmony of Dissonance's music over this pile of crap.

The plot? I haven't finished the game, but I don't want to. It's not my fault. The game hasn't given me any reason to want to. The plot, so far, has moved along through ONE SCREEN that showed me different documents, none of which were interesting in the least. There are no characters aside from the commander (who happens to be the player, goddammit!), so it's obviously going to be difficult to create an interesting plot. It doesn't help that the character is a rusty general who seems to be apathetic and bored all the time.

The game just plain sucks. The graphics are bland, the music is ass, there is no plot, and there is nothing in the gameplay that will ever remind the player of R-Type. This game is not R-Type. It is an awful version of Advance Wars that erased everything that made Advance Wars good: the vibrant color, the unique charm, and the lovable characters. It sucks that I expected so much.

The game is not fast. It's not hard. It's not technical. It's really not R-Type at all, except for the familiar ships and Force. If you intend to spend any money on this game, you should just go buy some cardboard instead. Anyone could cut a few pieces of paper, call them ships, and play this game without really missing anything.
