Common, Metal Gear Solid 4 and Final Fantasy XIII on a Wii?

Be grateful that you can play it on a HD console.

Yo r3tard, the Metal Gear was first released on MSX a Microsoft Japan / Sony Console,
i mean, if you dont know what u are talkin about, just shut up.
The MG for NES was a downgraded gimped version.

Such r3tards on this website.

Canadian outfit Blue Castle? Dear god that sounds bad. What do Canadians know about zombies amirite? No srsly, do zombies even exist in Canada? Probably not. lol jk buy ummm I wish Capcom was doing it.

And throw away the annoying time limit!

Im Canadian, there are all kinds of zombies up here... they are always trying to tear down my igloo eh. Anyway, blue castle are only known for sports games so far. There are however a few great Canadian devs like bioware and Ubisoft Montreal.

No one had heard of Media Molecule before LBP...

...so Blue Castle could turn out OK.

...they could also turn out utter sh1t, in which case, forget I even spoke(wrote).

Hey Canadians made Fido, a movie about a boy and his pet zombie. They know quite a bit about zombies!

I don't think this a confirmation. If you read the article it says "our source tells use" and so forth. At the very least it's not an official announcement. In other words, this is still a rumor.

I hear Canada has what you could call zombies. Slow moving, dim witted, mumbling and aimless.

They're called american tourist.

/jk

It's about darn time! Just revisited the first one last month and enjoyed it more the second time around.

unless its for wii

...keep in mind that Capcom has been somewhat in bed with PSN, as well, so I have to think that they will give the PS3 love now with this.

They would have to port the original DR for the PS3 (can't remember if they did or not) in order for it to work, though.

id buy a 360. Thats the way it should be. Its part of the xbox brand to me. I dont want the ps3 to become a mr mee too. I wont buy a Merc expecting the features of a BMW or vice versa (extreme analogy i know)

short answer: exclusives...

the 360 and ps3 are comparable in power, and microsoft and sony treat third parties about the same. Microsoft doesn't have to steal anything, devs want to expand their target audience not cater to fanboys. In the pre-xbox days sony got alot of third party support because Nintendo is harder for third parties to deal with.

and this is coming from a Silent Hill nut.

i own the PS1 original, and 2-Origins on my PS3. i bought Homecoming day ONE, and it sucked. plane and simple.

it did some things right with the controls, and the GUI, but the atmosphere was GONE. the very Japanese "WTF WAS THAT??" moments were all gone, but even WORSE, was the fact that EVERY.SINGLE.SCARE was predictable.

me and my fiance were literally calling out the "scares" in the game.

what made the original Silent Hills work so much, was the unpredictable nature of the scenario and it's enemy encounters. you never knew what was around the corner. even though, in your heightened sense of fear, you SUSPECTED that a monster would jump out at you, when it DIDN'T you were still terrified because you just didn't know. and then, just when you were coming down, BAM, monster attack.

even the story in Homecoming lacked the psychological, Jacobs-ladder esque, feel of part 1 and 2. we never got into the character's head, and there was no room for analyzing the events afterwords.

in SH2, you were able to form a theory of the events, or read into who characters like Angela, Maria, Eddie, Laura, and even Pyramid head were. Homecoming was generic. while Alex wasn't a bad guy, he wasn't an interesting character. and the whole, "i have to go to Silent Hill to find someone" schtick is pretty damn tired.

personally, i'd have rather played an investigative reporter who is looking into why so many god-damned people go to this town and disappear. as the game progresses, he will uncover a lot of the town's sordid history (dating well back into the 1800's, but at the cost of his own sanity, as his inner demons and skeletons start to haunt him.

my theory on Silent Hill, the town, and the events of the first four games (in particular 1 and 2, which are the best to me, although i love 3 also), is the town is almost like a purgatory, or even the individuals own personal hell. Pyramid head, for example, had no place in Homecoming. to me, Pyramid head was Jame's punishment for events i won't spoil for those that may not have played the game through to the end. it also explains why the town is different in nearly every game (except for 2 and 3, where the layout was the same, but 1, 2, Origins, The Room, and Homecoming all have different layouts). it shapes itself to suit the individual that is trapped there.

also, there wasn't much exploring of the town itself. my favorite part of Silent Hill was wandering the streets, looking for secrets and notes, that further explain the history of the town. we learned NOTHING about Silent Hill, and not much more about Shepherd's Glen.

Homecoming had some interesting moments, but it was such a recycling of previous concepts and ideas of Silent Hill, with horribly predictable scares, and what i call, the "Xboxing of gaming," with it's sudden emphasis on combat with a capable protagonist, instead of tense exploration and a feeling of helplessness because the character is an everyman (Harry was a writer, James was, hell, i don't know, Heather was a young woman, Henry was a regular guy), and not some soldier who knows how to use every firearms.

confrontations with enemies was something to be FEARED in the previous Silent Hills. not anticipated. i mean, in a real world scenario, why the F*CK would you want to fight these things?? you would RUN. and most of the time, in the early Silent Hills, you WOULD. in Homecoming, you pretty much have to kill EVERY SINGLE ENEMY, because generally, there's no way around it. they follow you into the next room (which is scary), but because ammunition is so sparse at the start of the game, you end up using up quite a few health packs because you CAN'T avoid the confrontation when the room is so tiny, and the enemy is blocking the only way out, and they have an attack that can reach across the room (i'm looking at YOU, smoking creature that shoots unblockable goo at about 100 feet).

never mind that melee attacking is generally useless, with the knife being the best weapon in the game THE ENTIRE TIME, as most enemies are too fast for you to effectively counterattack.

speaking of counterattacks: COUNTER ATTACKS? in SILENT HILL?? what the f*ck? it's a survival HORROR game! it's not Resident Evil 4. Silent Hill prided itself on not being Resident Evil. it's how it got it's respect from survival horror fans. it was more a horror adventure game, while RE was more of a B Movie action/horror game. Homecoming tries to hard to be action oriented, and it doesn't fit with the SH world. the western developers did this to, once again, appeal to the Xbox 360 Achievement crowd. i mean, how much fun would a "read this amount of notes" Achievement be to get? but a "counterattack this many enemies" is right up their alley.

the Silent Hill franchise is dead to me now. it peaked at 2, with 3 being damn good in it's own right, and 4 just being weird, but still tied to Silent Hill in some way (as it focused on Walter Sullivan and his history). Homecoming has almost nothing to do with Silent Hill, as the majority of the time you're in Shepherd's Glenn, and you don't learn anything new about Silent Hill that you didn't learn in the previous 5 games in the series (even Origins).

the Siren franchise (well, the new PSN title), is more Silent Hill than Silent Hill. which makes sense, considering that it was CREATED BY the guy who created the Silent Hill series.

sorry for the rant, but i'm a huge Silent Hill fan, like i said before, and Homecoming was the biggest disappointment in the series by far.

Western devs are most certainly free to mess with their OWN original ideas and concepts(ie, Dead Space = awesome), but they should leave classic franchises alone (well, Metroid Prime was a surprise to us all, but it's an exception to the rule, not the standard).

Well said Figboy. Bubbles for you.

I haven't played homecoming, but i have to say I agree with you, about every frigging thing you said. You happen to mention everything i liked about silent hill, i loved the fact that it was more about the atmosphere than the fighting. I loved that you were allways wondering how you were going to survive. Man I wish they would make a game where you didnt have to kill everything. Mirrors edge is starting to look good to me.

Oh and im sure you know this by now but SH 4 was intended to be a stand alone game but got tied to the sirries later on in developement, I have to say between 2 and 4 I cant decide which is my fave, for the story 2 takes it though, I love the psychology behind everything including the monsters, now that was a well thought out game.

how ever I played dead rising for an insane amount of hours. almost have every achievement except for frank the pimp and outdoorman, what can i say after the survivor achievements the rest didnt seem hard enough, I would like to see a sequel and that game isnt nearly as hard to get right.

and N4Flamers, yeah, i knew SH4 was supposed to be Team Silent's new survival horror series, but the powers at be said, "hey, Silent Hill is popular, lets slap the name on it and cash in on the SH fans!"

i would have preferred The Room being a totally new survival horror series, as i would have accepted it's gameplay more (ie, the invincible ghosts).

i hated that they basically shoehorned Silent Hill into the narrative.

but oddly enough, it feels more like Silent Hill than Homecoming does, and you don't even GO to Silent Hill in The Room (not really, the outskirts don't really count as going to Silent Hill).

i wouldn 't waste my time with Homecoming if i were you, and i regret buying it (i wish i had spent the money on a Dead Space pre-order instead, now THAT game is scary, AND original). i traded it in, but for half of what i paid for it. so i'm REALLY pissed off about it. waste of $64. even the new Alone in the Dark on the PS3 is better, and that game sucks too.
