According to Gabe Newell, Valve is switching towards a Nintendo-like approach when it comes to announcing games.
The new policy would only allow games to be revealed once enough of the game has been created as a way to combat negative hype and wild rumors. It would ensure enough actual details can be provided while also providing a potential release date to help both fans and consumers of the game. While it wasn't specifically mentioned, the move was done due to the problems involving Half-Life 3 taking a lot longer to create and the constant wild rumors about the game. Quote:

So how far into a game do they have to be before they talk about it? 10%? 20% 30%? That could still mean a ten year wait.

Seriously, collector's edtions are targetted specifically for fat nerds. Why would you include a small shirt when you know it's not appropriate for your target audience? |

Yeah, I got the standard version of the collection. Metal Gear 1 and 2 aren't so hot. I remember my first Metal Gear was Snakes Revenge which then turned out not to be a "real" Metal Gear game because Hideo didn't make it. It's actually more fun than the "real" Metal Gear 2.
MGS 2 is great, though the skatings missing, and 3 is cool. Not into Peace Walker, though. I did the tutorial and it doesn't feel like a MGS game. Plus, it's team based. I hate team based games. I'd rather go it alone and, if I have a team mate, I'd rather they were sitting next to me on the couch, not online or an AI. Quote:
I remember getting a handkerchief free with San Andreas. Well, to me it was a handkerchief. I know it's suppose to be some "gangsta" bandit mask or headwear. Bandit masks are stupid when you're not a 5 year old playing "Cowboys" or a criminal living in 1850's America. That's why I never really liked the story of San Andreas, "gangsta" culture is just awful. Gameplay was great, though. Next time they have a black protagonist, they should make him a normal guy. Not a twenty-something "gangsta". |

Why not? It's popular among fighting game enthusiasts. Many even name SFA3 as their favorite fighter. We already know from interviews with Ono and Capcom reps, that there is more street fighter goodness in store for the future. I could honestly see a new alpha before we see SF5. |

There was an interview for SFxT on Gamespot where Ono was asked about SFA3 coming to PSN. He said he'd like to but didn't have the time or budget.
If there's no time or budget to rerelease an exsisting game on the series 25th anniversery, they probably wont make a whole new one. Especially if they're going to be working on a new Darkstalkers. |

At best we'll some Alpha games on XBL (Anthology hopefully), but I doubt an Alpha 4 over SF5 or Darkstalkers. On second thought, Ono mentioned (more times than once) of doing a Triple Upper version of Alpha 3 (Double Upper appeared on handheld). That's a good bet, I think.

Remedy could be considering bring over the rest of the Alan Wake series a lot quicker than Microsoft normally allows for first party game ports after the first Alan Wake game quickly became a #1 seller on Steam.
The PC game managed to recoup all of its development costs within 48 hours of going on sale and shows the series itself has as strong of a PC user base as on the Xbox 360. Quote:

A reboot of Strider and Streets of Rage could have been in the makings if it wasn't for both Capcom and Sega shutting down requests by GRIN studio before they went out of business in 2009.
GRIN, makers of the reboot Bionic Commando and Wanted: Weapons of Fate, final project was a game involving Final Fantasy before Square-Enix pulled the plug on the project. The studio did try one last attempt to stay in business and had tried to contact Capcom for a potential Strider remake project before Capcom eventually dropped support for the remake. GRIN then tried to contact Ubisoft to make a brand new game using the stuff worked on the Strider remake until Ubisoft rejected the offer. The final attempt by the studio ended up being an idea to remake the Streets of Rage franchise but was denied the chance by Sega who wanted nothing to do with the series at the time. http://www.screwattack.com/news/grin...sic-franchises _____________________________________________________________ Daily Recap: 1) Nintendo announces The Last Story will be having a North American release date of Summer 2012 with XSEED having the rights to publish the game. http://www.giantbomb.com/news/xseed-...-america/3997/ 2) A new Metal Gear Solid game is currently in development based on recent job postings by Kojima Productions with a PC version confirmed to go along with multiple console releases. http://www.egmnow.com/articles/news/...al-gear-solid/ 3) 2K Games announces Borderlands 2 will have a release date of September 18, 2012 with a pre-order bonus called the “Premiere Club” set to be available at both Amazon and Gamestop. http://www.egmnow.com/articles/news/...date-revealed/ |

I believe they were or at least their recent games for this generation which probably was a big reason for being rejected by 3 companies. The link for the news shows off a video for the early stuff they were working on the Strider reboot. They worked on both the shitty and the good Bionic Commando remake games but the negativity involving the non-Rearmed one hurt them the most.
I know Sega basically wants nothing to do with their Streets of Rage franchise in a similar way to Rare having no desire to make a Killer Instinct 3. Last edited by Emperor Smeat; 02-23-2012 at 01:53 AM. Reason: Edit: Regular and not Rearmed got negative critisim |

Rearmed was getting nothing but positive responses, I thought. It was the remake that got negative responses. Which sucks because it was a good game, just with a couple of little flaws.
You not being given enough time to leave radioactive areas before dying was the only real problem for me. Everyone that spoke being so angsty wasn't exactly a plus, though. The good guys were all really angsty but the bad guy wasn't angsty at all, which was weird. Rearmed 2 might have been mixed in response, I don't know. |

Anyone have the full Voltron XBLA game?
Not sure I want to drop money on it. It seems kinda clunky for a Twin Stick, and the demo doesn't even let you do one of the Voltron scenes. I was hoping to at least experience that in the demo. |
