Well, I'm happy its is still coming out. Many events a couple of weeks ago during the Sega of America's layoffs were promoting Final Showdown so I wasn't worrying like an idiot.

Also, there are rumors that Sonic Adventure 2 and other Dreamcast titles are coming to LIVE and PSN digitally. So, I'm hyping at this.

That's cool. Selling my original Dreamcast and its awesome game collection all these years ago is definitely my biggest regret in gaming! I do have another DC now, but the game collection is nowhere near what it used to be. I got Crazy Taxi on LIVE when it was on sale, loved playing it again. Hopefully Jet Set Radio will look good as well when it hits LIVE/PSN.

I bought my son a used Dreamcast long after it was withdrawn from the market just so he could play Sonic Adventure 1 and 2 It isn't used much anymore we have a plethora of sonic titles on our PS3 and just a bit ago I was watching him complete Sonic Generations

the only game I regret never getting was Skies of Arcadia (i think?) it looked so cool

This conversation led me to my garage where I dusted off my old Nintendo and Super nintendo consoles and reminisce the good times I had. My younger sister pointed at a Sega and asked me "Whats that?" First time I ever felt so sold.
Skies of Arcadia also came out in Game cube, that's where I played it and it was amazing.

I love Skies of Arcadia I wish they would have made a sequel. I always wanted for Piastol to be playable and to join the party.

Gameplay trailer for Crysis 3:



At first I was like: "yay, gameplay trailer for crysis 3, so exciting!"

But then I stopped to think, readed some comments they made on youtube, and I thought:

"Wait, the graphics are still the same, effects are still the same, (most of) the weapons are still the same, landscape still the same, just an green paint color over it. And, this is just... the second game slightly updated, is that even good?"
Something on my gut is saying that EA is turning into the Activision, messing up every franchise they can.

Game news time:

More details on the Wii U.

The Wii U is a joke.

Seriously. They should've waited until the next cycle to even think about competing with the other two companies. The Wii is still going strong, and they should focus more on their DS library as opposed to wasting time/money/resources on the Wii U.

I'm not sure what your point is. Do you mean that Nintendo should wait to release their new system on the basis that its specs will be eclipsed next generation? I don't know if that's a fair argument for Nintendo. The Wii was graphically inferior to the PS3/360, and yet it still outsold both of them by a significant amount. (nearly 3:2 for both, from what I gather).

Anyways, regardless of sales, a lot of fans have been clamoring for an Nintendo HD upgrade for a while now, as well as more 3rd party releases, and neither of those problems are really going to be solved with the current system. So far, things have been looking pretty positive, too. They've already confirmed several third party releases, and the first party titles are looking even better. On top of that, its processor has already been confirmed to be more powerful than than the current HD consoles. One could argue that the Wii U has been a long time coming, rather than arriving too early.

No, I meant they should have continued supporting the Wii and DS with more titles and waited till the next generation to release a new system that would blow their competitors out of the water.

But instead, the Wii U. Kinda late to the party, Nintendo.

*shrug* Better late than never, I suppose.

In any case, Nintendo isn't really trying to compete with Sony and Microsoft over specs, it's basically doing its own thing. As cool as it would be to some fans to see all three home consoles compete on that level, it seems doubtful that Nintendo is going to release a console that doesn't significantly separate itself from the competition. And looking at the massive difference between how the GCN and the Wii sold, it's not hard to understand why.

Besides, given that game graphics are starting to plateau, it's doubtful that the Wii U will really be that far behind anyway. If it can satisfy its current audience while continuing to attract 3rd parties early into the next cycle, it'll probably be at least a moderate success. Though that obviously depends on several other factors.

Of course, this is Nintendo we're talking about.

Reveal trailer:



HOLY F...

Kind of reminds me of Homefront, mixing conventional combat with a bit of scy fy. Is this game in the same universe of the Modern warfare series?
