Gaming News So Small It Gets a Second Thread

New trailer for Wanted: Dead. Being made by Soleil with Stephanie Joosten. This looks like *exactly* my type of game. No AAA nonsense, no pretence, just B-movie PS2 style 3rd person action. Give it to me.

For some reason the trailer's really reminding me of Binary Domain. But agreed that it looks interesting!

ATLUS has launched a new countdown teaser website at soul-hackers.jp, as well as an accompanying Twitter account. The countdown ends on February 21 at 20:00 JST.

Only ever made it a few hours into the original, but I did love the look and feel of it. Whether this is a remake or a new game remains to be seen, but I'm interested.

Huh. Interesting. Yeah, I only got a few hours into Soul Hackers too, but it's a cool game. I wish I had stuck with it. Definitely interested to see what this might be.

On average there are approximately 100 new games on the iPhone App Store per day. PER DAY.

Well quite! Makes you wonder why anyone would even try on that platform though. Games make up about 14% of app submissions so there’s almost 800 new apps a day appearing on there in total. Madness.

Retargetable graphics and scsi too.

Heck of a lot cheaper than a Vampire or TF board.

Capcom Fighting Collection has been announced.

Contains:

Darkstalkers: The Night Warriors
Night Warriors: Darkstalkers’ Revenge
Vampire Savior: The Lord of Vampire
Vampire Hunter 2: Darkstalkers’ Revenge
Vampire Savior 2: The Lord of Vampire
Red Earth
Cyberbots: Fullmetal Madness
Super Gem Fighter Mini Mix
Super Puzzle Fighter II Turbo
Hyper Street Fighter II

I've bene on the look out for a Dreamcast copy of Vampire Chronicle but this is going to be much cheaper and has loads more so I'm very happy. Hopefully more people can appreciate loveliness of Pocket Fighter.

Not a single mention of shaders/filters in that trailer, should be a standard for all old game collections. I can get these games easily for free with very good shaders that make it look like i'm playing on a CRT instead of the washed out crap i'm seeing here, should be no excuses when stuff like Turrican collection can do it and im pretty sure capcom stadium has at least scanlines.

[fuse]

Aside from the list of games, I think the biggest announcement they've got in here is the presence of rollback netcode for each of them. I'm sure that there will be video filters, but for a first, short trailer for a collection of fighting games in 2022, I think focusing on the fact you can actually play them online with decent netcode is far more relevant to FG folks.

First ever home version of Red Earth / Warzard! That's neat.

First ever home version of Red Earth / Warzard! That's neat.

Yeah, I was gonna ask - this is the first time it's come home, right?
