another rpg remake on the psp
October 23, 2009

this time it's Lunar: Harmony of Silver Star. the demo is on the japanese PSN store. haven't played this game in ages but i sure remember those cutscenes when Alex first meets Luna. seems they've kept it exactly like Silver Star Complete and it looks much sharper on a portable screen. other than redrawn sprites and backgrounds, rearranged town and menu layouts i'm not sure what else is new.

You wa shock!
October 15, 2009

Kenji Matsubara, Tecmo Koei Holdings honcho, expects big things of recently announced multi-platform title Hokuto Musou. The game is based on post-apocalyptic martial arts manga Fist of the North Star (Hokuto no Ken).

"Only in Japan, the game should sell a million copies," Matsubara told the Nihon Keisai Newspaper. According to the paper, the game is expected to launch worldwide, given the international familiarity with Fist of the North Star.

Demon's Souls progress
October 15, 2009

after playing about 10 hours on one file, i decided to create a new file. what happens if i beated Vanguard in the tutorial? that part always bugged me so about a dozen tries later i finally beated that thing..i think it was definitely worth the trip. you get rewarded generously with extra spoils and being greeted(falcon-punched rather!!) by one of the most visually terrifying demons i've ever seen in a video game. also i was able to create my likeness much better. i just don't know where to begin when creating a face so this time i clicked on the random faces button until i found a suitable one then tweaked it. i guess i will abandon my old file now because i'm getting attached to the new one. here are some pics from Onikira's journey to hell!

has sold his soul...
October 10, 2009

for demon's souls!

yep. finally picked up my deluxe copy. combat is surprisingly brisk and not as sluggish as i thought it would be. having fun slaying soldiers...but those mid-bosses keep owning me. got killed by The Vanguard in the tutorial. then i got warped to the Nexus. then warped to Boletaria...those dragons look awesome. went in and around the castle. saw those dragons again by the hillside. appraoched them and got toasted. my measly shield couldn't defend me from their fire breaths. all in all i've died 4 times. gonna check out the strategy book that came with it. will play some more tommorow...


Where are all the next gen games?
October 05, 2009

http://kotaku.com/5369850/where-are-all-the-next-gen-games


So as good as Modern Warfare is, as good as Mario Galaxy is, I don't call them truly "next gen" games. Why? Because they fail my "next gen" test, that's why.

Here's the test: If a game can be ported to a console in a previous generation and keep its core gameplay and overall design in place, it's not what I'm calling for the purposes of this piece a "next gen" game. Mario Galaxy was great, but really, it's a GameCube title with some star-shaking stuff thrown in. Modern Warfare? Amazing, but as the upcoming Wii port attests, it used the 360 and PS3 primarily for better graphics and sound. LittleBigPlanet? Another great game, but the PSP version shows the core experience could have been done on a PS2.
