RANDOM VIDEO GAME NEWS

Well...erm...well...think i'll just back out of this thread slowly, close the window and try to lock it.

I'm assuming this is a visual novel type deal?  I'm scared to click that link at work.  Anyway, why would anyone want to bang their own twin broth...  wait, never mind, this is the interned we're talking about.

I suppose it also depends on who you and your twin are. If you're Scarlette Johanson and your twin sister looks like Scarlette Johanson then you'll at least consider it right?

 

Keep in mind, I don't find Scarlett Johanson as attractive as a lot of men do (I don't think she's a troglodyte or anything, mind you), but even if you replaced her name with, say Io Shirai (the wrestler in my avatar), still nope.

 

In less incestuous, but just as sexual news, the Senran Kagura series has now sold more than 1 million copies worldwide.  Not a bad number for a niche, indie series.  For those not familiar with the series, it's a beat em' up that features a cast of all female, rather well endowed, ninjas whose clothes have a tendency to... explode during combat.  Proof once again that boobs still sell.  Also, Japan is still AWESOME.

5 games to sell 1mil? That's not a good seller.

Keep in mind how niche the series is, this is far from a mainstream game.  Were it a mainstream game, yeah that figure would suck.  Most importantly, it's apparently profitable for the developer, so they'll likely keep making more.

[Volourn]

Yeah but if your point was that 'boob sell' it would sell more than that. Surely more than 200k gamers would be interested in playing b00bie games.

Fair point.  I still think the sales are decent for a series that essentially gets zero advertisement and zero coverage outside of niche sites and an occasional joke article at a mid-size site (the games might as well not exist to the IGNs and GameSpots of the world).  I imagine it probably gets some coverage (as well as the bulk of its sales) in Japan.  My boobs sell comment was more hyperbole than anything else (the "Japan is still awesome" comment, though, completely serious).  Really, I was just trying desperately to steer the thread away from incest *cringes* and latched on to the first piece of "news" I could.

Since Nintendo is never going to bother making another proper F-Zero *sob* at least it looks like someone else developed the lovechild of F-Zero and Wipeout.

 

 

I'll take what I can get. 

[HoonDing]

B00bies, f3t1sh and pr0n games can be made without any bruhaha whatsoever in Japan, after all it's a civilization where Social Justice was already achieved 2,000 years ago when our own ancestors were still rolling around in the muck.

XCOM 2 is delayed - http://xcom.com/news/en/xcom-2-now-coming-to-pc-worldwide-on-february-5-2016

Good. More games should be delayed.

The newest member of the Street Fighter V roster:

 

 

Things I like about this:

• She's a pro-wrestler.  My unbridled love of rasslin' is no secret.
• She does a Stone Cold Stunner.  Bonus points if you can flip off the opponent before hitting the Stunner.
• The liberal use of ass-based offense.  I'd like to think she learned this from "The Funky Weapon" Ryusuke Taguchi.
• Not shown in the trailer, but she can cut a promo in the middle of the match.

I hope she can do a Northern Lights Bomb and/or a Kudo Driver.

Hark I hear the sound of Tumbler being triggered.

Though it's a game I'm not at all excited about, I know some regulars here are so this will be of interest.  XCOM 2 delayed until Feb 2016.

Why are you browsing a video game forum during work?

[Nonek]

So if I wish to buy a complete copy of Deus Ex: Mankind Divided with all of the content, pre-order exclusives, bug fixes and expansion at a far cheaper price then I should simply wait a year for the inevitable game of the year edition on a Steam sale, rather than buying new? That is the message all of this publisher nickel and diming seems to give me, then again i'm old, patient, and tempus fugit.

[Hurlshort]

You do not pay to unlock the tiers, at least from what I can gather.  They will unlock as more people pre-order.  So your one pre-order simply puts you in the pool.  It's a weird system, it is supposed to generate interest and get people pre-ordering, but it isn't quite a nickel and dime scheme.

 

edit:  I think they just unlock progressively no matter what actually.  It's kind of unclear.

 

edit 2 :  Ok, I see.  Each tier unlocks over time.  When a tier unlocks, you choose a reward.  Everyone who pre-orders gets 4 rewards and the 4 day access.  You do not pay more for more rewards, although I think there is a collector's edition.

That's pretty much the gist of it. 

 

It saddens me that crap like this is going to be associated with a storied franchise.  The most hilarious part is that fanboys are going to come out in force defending and supporting this, because they are the ones who will pre-order this, in turn giving them a vested interest in influencing others to do the same.  If it wasn't so damn dirty, I'd applaud Squeenix for how ingenious this scheme is.
