Yeah man that games looks quality. Maybe the next portal, in terms of mind bending puzzle games...

I'm surprised I'm the first to post about this - Square is porting Chrono Trigger to the DS: http://ds.ign.com/objects/142/14263600.html

And I'll be picking this up in a week and a half - no idea when I'll have time to play it though: http://ds.ign.com/objects/905/905252.html

Seiken Densetsu 3 to the DS next please.

FULLY ERECT WITH ANTICIPATION

¬_¬

but yeah it's going to be amazing

although i'm hoping they don't do a 3d remake as they've done with ff3 & 4

i played it through again recently on snemulDS and it still looks glorious...a bit of spit & polish to the original graphics would be more than enough

I wish Namco would sort themselves out and release Tales of Innocence in english, it's jaw-dropping what they've managed to squeeze out of the ds for it

Never mind.

It's not going to be 3D. It's an enhanced port incorporating the dual screen with a few other bells and whistles.

OK, E3 shit so far:

As mentioned in the seperate thread, FFXIII coming to the 360. That's a mega-fuck-ton announcement that one. The era of major third party exclusives is increasingly looking to be over.

New Resident Evil 5 trailer looks aaaaaawesome http://kotaku.com/5025174/resident-evil ... bie-bikers
Will surely be one of my favourite games of this generation. It's coming out March 13th 2009 (Friday 13th, nice) which means I won't have to get a ps360 till at least next year.

Mirros Edge demonstration: http://kotaku.com/5025214/mirrors-edge-e3-demonstration
This game looks like canned fun, seriously looks to open up a new level of gaming immersion. Along with Resi 5 this is a system seller to me.

http://kotaku.com/5025601/the-new-80gb- ... some-facts

Ok, new 80GB PS3 with no backwards compatability set to be the only machine on the market?? What the FUCK is this about?? Here I was planning to give Sony my cash sometime after Christmas and now they're announcing this bollocks?? Is it some backwards attempt to drive sales in the here and now because people will no longer be able to purchase the current models by next year?? I just want a machine that plugs in and does what it's supposed to do when you jam a game in. Too many variables these days is destroying the purity of consoles imo.

B/C is still achievable through a firmware update. the originl SKU used hardware.. the 2nd batch is software emulation.

it's just wether they choose to do it or not. I missed the whole of E3.. but it looks like to me MS did good. The new update in autumn looks live!
