Nice, I'll check it out tonight. I was going to buy the penumbra games for $6 on GamersGate, but my account was all fucked up on there!

Holy hell, this looks so damn good! Great soundtrack too!

In other news, I'm crying myself to sleep everynight for not going to PAX! FUCK!

Also, new Vanquish story trailer!
http://www.gametrailers.com/video/pax-10-vanquish/704042

Can't wait! My only real concern with the game is QTE's. The one that came up in the demo wasn't awful, but the motion was a bit unexpected. Hopefully there's not any extremely sudden instant death ones in the actual game, like Bayonetta had. The QTE's in Bayonetta was probably the biggest flaw to me.

I gotta download that demo.

After Metroid, QTE's should just be a thing of the past. I feel just as awesome doing crazy moves in that as much as I do in God of War and it's not even half the effort.

so there are QTE's in other M? I finally saw the trailer last night and it basically looked like GOW with Samus, but i wasn't sure if that was just video or QTE.

Not really QTEs. But you do moves that basically do QTE style attacks with one button.

GOW is one of the only games I can think of that has cool QTE's to me, haha. Every button press is Kratos getting crazier and crazier.

ahhh ok. I'm not sure I'd like that. I like QTE's that are random, otherwise i don't feel they add anything to the game other than a sequence to see a cutscene. Multiple buttons make me feel like i'm hitting a combo, but having them the same everytime like in GOW is basically pattern memorization and not quite as entertaining to me.

I really liked them in Shenmue because it happened during a cutscene and not the cause of a cutscene. i.e. Ryu would be chasing someone and you'd have to hit left to follow him down a left corridor. You usually had a couple misses before you lost. Sometimes losing meant a new objective too, not just a retry.

I don't mind QTEs. I liked them in Shenmue, RE4, God of War, ect. I just don't like when they're not used properly like in Uncharted when they happen two times during the entire game.

Decent piece on Wired about how Randy Pitchford, CEO of Gearbox, saved the Duke Nukem franchise:

I've been playing some halo reach at work the past few days, and you know what, Halo is really easy to appreciate if you've played the other shooters on the market, it's always fun to look at, the plot is soooo sooo, it's refreshing after playing call of duty.

I just tired of the call of duty plot, I'm not really into it is all. I just found the new halo's looks appealing, it was fun.

Dante, how do you feel about this?

edit: wow that image was huge. It's the logo for DmC: Devil May Cry

Ninja Theory (the Heavenly Sword dudes) are confirmed as the developers.

Trailer and stuff too
http://www.1up.com/news/devil-may-cry-dmc-announced

I think I like it. My interest in the DMC games dissolved after the first, but I think it might be back.

The trailer looked pretty cool and I liked dante's look (i'm sure it isn't the same dante), he kinda looks like a crackhead though.

Shadows of the Damned

EA + Mikami + Suda + Akira Yamaoka

http://www.1up.com/news/shadows-damned- ... -speak-tgs

It looks like RE4 fused with Killer 7 (err, I mean NMH). Pretty neato.
