I am looking forward to more info on COD:WAW,Madworld,Sonic Unleashed,Samba De Amigo,Sim Animals and Dragon Warrior. What are you looking forward to?

I'm looking forward to info on MadWorld, Kuju's game (though it's rumored to be a new House of the Dead title), and I'm hoping that Sony's surprise is Team Ico's next game, but that's really treading into the realm of pipe dreams there...

Cursed Mountain is going to be there?
Title: Re: Leipzig Games Convention 2008
Post by: BeautifulShy on August 14, 2008, 06:23:29 PM
Yep it is going to be there Shyguy.Since Deep Silver isn't really known they decided to reveal the info at a major event. The double edged sword of this is they get to reveal lots of info but they may be overshadowed.
Title: Re: Leipzig Games Convention 2008
Post by: GoldenPhoenix on August 14, 2008, 06:43:52 PM
I am excited to see more about Cursed Mountain on Wii along with a ton of other things that I'm too lazy to list.

I was just over at wii fanboy and Sega said they were planning on showing off one more title other than the ones they announced. Http://nintendowiifanboy.com/2008/08/14/sega-has-a-surprise-for-leipzig

Heavy Rain is suppose to be at Leipzig; I can't wait to see if it lives up to the hype.

Don't forget Hudson

Mario I went searching for info on Hudson's line up but couldn't find anything.Hey Bill I think your Starting date might be wrong. I heard it starts on the 20th and runs to the 24th.

I wonder if it's worth going...
Then again that's the weekend Bangai-O gets released on...

If I had a choice of going to a video game event or grabing a game I would pick the event everytime.

I'm fortunate enough to be going this year. I've never been to Leipzig before although I've been to E3 many times. I'm really looking forward to it and hopefully there will be a lot of cool stuff to check out. I can't wait for next week. ;D

It's more a question of going or not, it wasn't terribly amazing the last time I was there and the train fare and entry fee do add up.

Check out the Kororinpa 2 thread http://www.nintendoworldreport.com/forums/index.php?topic=25587.0
In the link there is a translated interview, the good bit:

PN.it: In the final beat us curious to know your future plans for Wii and DS. Cosa bolle in pentola? What bubbles in the pot?
HT: Per il momento posso anticiparvi un tris di nuovi titoli composto da Hard Working People per Wii, Kororinpa 2 sempre per Wii e Bomberman 2 per DS (tutti nomi provvisori, ndr). HT: For the moment I can anticiparvi a trio of new titles composed of Hard Working People for Wii, Kororinpa always 2 for Wii and Bomberman 2 for DS (all names provisional editor's note). Saranno presentati il mese prossimo nel corso dell'edizione 2008 della Games Convention di Lipsia. Will be presented next month during the dell'edizione 2008 Games Convention in Leipzig. Hard Working People è un IP creato da zero che sta impegnando tantissimo i nostri team e che si preannuncia molto divertente. Hard Working People is an IP created from scratch which is committing a lot our team and that promises to be very fun. Sono certa che verrà apprezzato dai giocatori europei. I am sure that will be appreciated by European players.

Well I'm staying just 10 minutes walk from the convention center so I don't need to worry about train fare to and from the convention center each day. I also live in London so my overall travel costs are not as high as for someone traveling from the US. The exchange rare is also better for me too as the pound is a lot stronger then the dollar right now.

It'll be so advanced, there's no GUI and no user input.
Oh, so it's a Wii game.
This reply makes no sense at all, considering all the thought and energy you put into your other posts. I mean, the logic train totally missed its station.
There's no hint of common sense with relevance to established concepts like Final Fantasy games that play themselves, or Metal Gear games you mostly watch. Plus, the Wii isn't capable of such sophistication, yet you suggest it.
I expect better from NWR Staff.

Let this be a lesson to further trolling attempts. Bathe before attempting, because when people smell a foul troll from a mile away, it isn't really a troll. It's just a wet fart people cross the street to avoid.

Here is the Heavy Rain footage: http://www.gamersyde.com/news_6991_en.html (http://www.gamersyde.com/news_6991_en.html)
It looks nice but, I don't think QTEs are very exciting. I've been told in Indigo Prophecy adventuring was the main focus, so maybe they won't play a huge part.
Title: Re: Leipzig Games Convention 2008
Post by: Nick DiMola on August 20, 2008, 12:58:58 PM
If Heavy Rain turns out like Indigo Prophecy I wouldn't worry about it. The QTEs will be done logically and tactfully. The game looks stunning and I hope it turns out great, I'll be there on day 1 for it.

Heavy Rain looks like crap...I certainly can't be the only person who finds that character model beyond hideous...
Title: Re: Leipzig Games Convention 2008
Post by: ShyGuy on August 20, 2008, 02:28:11 PM
The game setting looks intriguing and the stills look good, but she had no emotion in her face. I thought the first tech demo was all about animating the character's face and now she's a plastic mask?
