Zoonami doesn't look like it will show anything at E3....How long are they going to work on the game? It's been like 3 years already.


The Custom Robo series is by Noise.

TalkBack / Sega Reveals E3 Line-up
« on: May 01, 2003, 02:23:19 PM »
If Sega merges with Sammy, Sega will go under Sammy's Management.


Sega's in financial trouble and Sonic is their biggest franchise, it only makes sense for them to make it multiplatform.


Sega has announced the least non-sports games for XBox, there's no need to worry about that.


The Playstation 2 by far has the largest userbase, it's a sound business decision to release Altered Beast and Vectorman on that platform.


Petitions will do nothing, don't waste your time.


Sega will obviously announce more, new, games at E3, don't make up your minds one way or another until then.

Also, the plot never picks up where the last left off.


Bond would be 73.

Nintendo Gaming / Onlines Future
« on: March 20, 2003, 07:02:19 PM »
Somewhat related and not worth a new thread I should think;


EAD Ninja on the Gaming-Age forum has reported that Animal Crossing 2 will have "online interactivity." He also mentions that it will run on a new engine, have cooperative gameplay, multi-engine gameplay, and a wide variety of enviornments, and that Nintendo is planning a late 2003 release in Japan.


Don't take this as concrete confirmation, mind you, but he has been very reliable in the past.

EA sucks at shooters. Period. Done. They suck.
Let's not be too harsh here.  Agent under Fire was a poorly developed game.  However, Nightfire was a much better game and definitely higher than your average FPS.


Incorrect. Eurocom created Nightfire, EA merely published.

Not true. A sequel would entail a continuation of the plotline. The Bond movies are all considered sequels to the last, yet the lead actor, writer, and director often change.

My thoughts exactly. Shouldn't be too long until Factor 5's plans are explained to a fair extent anyway.

Where did you hear this?

It's a third-person action game, you use guns and the wind as attacks/manuevers. It's a semi-sequel to the 2d side-scrolling "Turrican" series, but since they don't have the license they had to use a different name. Factor 5 showed a short movie of it once to demonstrate the Gamecube's power, but not much has been heard of it since.

Nintendo Gaming / Earthbound 2 Coming?

Hear me out here, I'm absolutely no RPG fanatical, which made me come to the following strategical (marketing-wise) conclusion that Nintendo might be about to make:

Release Earthbound 2 together with a new Mario adventure at, or shortly after, the launch of the next console in 2005/2006!



Final Fantasy: Crystal Chronicles is an action RPG, they're not in direct competition. Earthbound is also a smaller, quirkier, and arguably more child-oriented RPG, so you could argue that it wouldn't be selling to the same audience as these other RPGs.

No, Factor 5 is completely independant, but maintains a strong relationship with Lucasarts and Nintendo.

Free Radical Design is also completely independant. Eidos published Timesplitters 1 and 2, that's all. Their next project probably wont be published by Eidos.

I hope you realize how contradictory that statement is. If your major argument is that being bought by Nintendo would limit their potential sales, why would being bought by Sony or Microsoft be any different?

Silicon Knights is partially owned by Nintendo, unless an abrupt fall-out occurs don't expect to see any of their games to appear on other consoles. Factor 5 is fairly loyal to Nintendo, the chances of their next title being multi-platform are very low.

I've got a question.  It doesn't really pertain to this topic, but kind of.  I've always wondered about the status of Factor 5.  I mean, most of the games they make they release for Nintendo systems then maybe on PC, but rarely, if even, on other consoles.  Why don't they just go 2nd party?


Factor 5 is close to Lucasarts, and use the Star Wars license quite a bit, as you can see. One of the main reasons, if not the only, is that it might affect their relationship with Lucasarts. Nintendo and Factor 5 are already very close anyway, their status for all practical purposes is 2nd party.

On the off chance that you haven't heard, it's very likely Nintendo will display a new Earthbound title at E3.
