The odd thing about the US/UK release is that SEGA let you spend time with the hostess' (even in the demo you get to go sing kareoke with one). But you're not allowed to meet them in the first place at their bar?

How will that work!?

Also, I'm not cool with them culling some mini-games like mahjong, there's no reason for that.

It's all leading to a DLC we have to pay extra for, as per SEGAs usual doucheiness.

I thought that MGS2 on PC was pretty sweet. It ran fine for me, but it was one of the first PC games on PC requiring a control pad.

Other soundtracks are availiable as mp3 on the PSN store.

Does the Special Edition only allow you "access" to the soundtrack via vidzone, because that kind of sucks. Though there is an option to download the songs your listening to anyway, so maybe they're just doing it for convenience.

True.

I'm sure any Rockstead game will be pretty cool. I just loved Batman: AA, so much it's was my secret GOTY last year... My official GOTY was Uncharted 2, because of all the effort that went into it and it's a fantastic spectacle... but Batman is Batman. And a good Batman game can trump any other game.

When it comes to choosing between Psi-Ops 2 or Arkham Asylum 2, I'd have to go with Batman.

But even Psi-Ops is a better idea that what some business decision will, I'm sure pull out of their rear end.

After Arkham Asylum, Rocksteady should be locked into as many Batman games as possible, not thrown off their game because of some knee-jerk "holly crap, we have a good developer, let's get them on a Superman game at once!" reaction by executives.

I know Rocksteady could make other games, but it's like they were born to make Batman awesome again!

If it's like the previous Yakuza titles, they won't announce it for the west, until the next sequel is announced for Japan.

They already have. EyePet, Eye of Judgement both use the EyeToy.

It's the same principle for natal, only it has two cameras (for depth perception). It depends how you want to do it. EyeToy and Arc are kind of a mix of Wiimote and Natal. Like Natal the camera is near the tv, but like the Wiimote, it uses a wand to determine orientation. Since Eyetoy is connected via USB, it has much less latency than the Wiimotes (using Bluetooth), and since it uses a bulb on top of the want to d...

Though you forget the Japanese version is also on BluRay, I do think SEGA will probably still just make it extra DLC for the west.

Agreed - the fact SEGA insist on treating this series as the ginger stepchild has pushed this to a bargain-bin buy, at most.

I wonder if SEGA will just re-add the hostess bars as more DLC?

Also the game features Karaoke and other activities with hostesses (the demo lets you sing a couple of songs with one). How are you meant to hook up with these girls for the activities included if you can't even get to the club to meet with them?!

Another fail for SEGA, first the stall in releasing a game, only to add subtitles, then they go to the effort removing content because it "doesn't resonat...

And unlike Nintendo, MS aren't above such degradation... they already have the Onichanbara series!

I can just see the headlines in a couple of years "Japanese Sex-Camera Booths"

Possibly, but the PS2 had, and the PS3 still has the Eye, which does the same sort of stuff natal does.

It was a lot more basic, but the Japanese still had hundreds of games for it, and they didn't sell all that much.

Swap Milo for a school girl, and you just watch the Japanese buy the game in droves.

Bunch of hipster arseholes past their prime, couldn't give a balanced argument if they were comparing bags of sugar.

Very subtle. Had you not followed it at all you wouldn't know it was a game until the 2nd part. No music either... just "Make your choice... Ok you got shot, deal with it."

SONY need to get back to this kind of "WTF" advertising.

Well spotted.

Ah - but Beyonetta is attractive: the Librarian look is a tried and tested fetish that works.

It's the clothing made of her own hair that males me queasy... What's wrong with a good old fashioned leather catsuit?!

I'm not disagreeing that he isn't a gamer, or that he knows a lot.

It's just he's far too easy in his opinions either because he's easy to please or (cynics would put it) to please the hand that feeds him. MS and other companies will continue to let him play demos like Natal, as long as he says nice things.

He has done it in the past.

Video games have sadly not evolved that much to where a girl in a game can be ugly.

You can't have a strong independent woman in a video game unless she's pretty. I'd love to hear examples where I'm wrong (I really would like to play them), but unless they're some kind of comedic or tragic villain, you'll never see an ugly woman in a game. Not by design anyway, hardware limitation don't count.

Even then much exalted Alyx Vance is essentially a gamer's wet dream: mixe...

I don't think the size of the patch is the problem (often they're equal to the 360 patch).

The problem is that unlike downloading from the store, you can't download patches in the background. Regardless of how large it is, it's a pain in the ass to wait for it.

The funny thing is that you can continue playing without the patch, so there's no real reason the patch couldn't be downloaded in the background, and then installed when you exit the game or next restart the s...
