croikTGS ain't over yet but already there are a few more surprises than I was expecting this year...! But let's start with the most important.
MY NAME IS DANTE? SERIOUSLY!?
I don't know if the new DMC is supposed to be a reboot, or a super-future, or what it's deal is, but I am so confused by the new trailer. Is it really Dante? If it's some other Dante, or a crazy person who thinks he's Dante, I can deal with that. He still looks like a hipster douchetool, but I can deal. If that is the Dante I'm gonna flip my shit.
Because fuck this "games need to be more westernized," BS. Fuck it in the ear. Games don't need to be "western" they need to be GOOD. What does it even mean anyway? I seem to recall in DMC3 Dante eating pizza shirtless while killing monsters with giant phallic swords and shiny guns. What could be more Western than that!? Now he's got a skunk stripe and he smokes. Oooh, I can feel my American bits tingling already!
I'll probably still play it shut up.
But I think I'd rather play Asura's Wrath.
Now THIS is what DMC should be. Talk about an action game! It's like DMC meets Godhand and how sick is that!? But the most intriguing thing is the Playstation Move QTE prompts. Everyone's been saying that PSMove is going to need some killer software to sell, and if this is it, fucking sold. I want to wave my hands like a madman to take out God while he points at me from SPACE!!!!
In other news, The Last Guardian isn't coming out until Holiday 2011. Sob. But the Ico/Colossus pack is coming out in the spring, so there's that to look forward to. I have both games already, but Colossus with improved frame rate is a must have for me. Hugs and kisses Ueda.
The rumor floating around 1up is that Odin Sphere and Muramasa are getting HD ports to PS3 and Xbox. This is ridiculously relevant to my interests. Also, Tactics Ogre PSP. Unexpected, and very welcome, as I never got around to the original. Can't wait!
Parasite Eve 3, meh. Played the first, sold it back. Dissidia 1.5, meh. Suda's new demon hunting thing looks interesting, even though I've never been much of a Suda fan. Heard there's a new MGRising trailer out but haven't watched it since it was just hand-cam, and I can wait.
Yakuza 5 is a zombie killing game. That's...rather unexpected. Still need to play 3 let alone 4 let alone 5, though.
And of course, then there's Gyakuten Kenji 2.
I'm a little torn on it, because on the one hand, it's another AA game, and that is always a good thing. I enjoyed AAI, even if in the end there were a few flaws that prevent me from calling it my favorite. Fortunately, the biggest of those has already been addressed by the creators, when they said in last week's Famitsu "The story is going to focus more on present-day Edgeworth this time." Good! But at the same time, I'm still deeply disappointed that there's no word of Apollo and his gang. Spinoffs are great, but if the franchise doesn't move forward, I'm worried about interest dwindling in the face of so much filler. It's making me look back at the promise I made here some time ago...
But in the meantime, Last Window is almost out, which means I can finally share with others my love of Dylan! And Ghost Trick, which should be interesting. I still know very little about it. Also looking forward to Sengoku Basara: Samurai Heroes, since Samurai Warriors 3 isn't coming to the PS3. Pfft.
And I'm spent! Looking forward to the rest of TGS~
