Yeah it's really exciting, Microsoft really is taking several steps in the right direction with XB1.

Re: Roughly 20 Companies Interested in Atlus Purchase

Brandon Orselli — Sun, 04 Aug 2013 14:48:01 -0000

With how Sony has been shuttering studios lately, I'm not sure if they can afford another internet studio. It'd be very interesting if someone bought them and subsequently the Atlus became an exclusive developer, though.

Re: Zombie Tycoon II Review – Revenge Served From Cold, Dead Hands

Yeah it's been out for awhile but we wanted to cover it - I really enjoyed what I played when it first launched, I just never played through the entire game until I started the review up.

Yeah I didn't realize that until after that gigantic file finished uploading. We need to cut it up into pieces and also get rid of the echo as well for next time.

Cytus Lambda is fun, but it's nowhere near what Technika Tune is. I really like what it's trying to do but one of the main things is that it's hard to play Cytus after you've been just consumed by DJ MAX. The production values alone are leagues apart.

You can opt in for having all front touch controls if you want - I mentioned that in my review that a lot of people only do front touch and lay the Vita on a table or whatever. I think this takes a huge piece of the difficulty away though.

Re: DJMAX Technika Tune Review – Vita’s Definitive Rhythm Game

Brandon Orselli — Thu, 15 Aug 2013 15:17:49 -0000

I fixed it. I was so focused on the review itself I didn't realize the header size covered up my name haha!

Re: DJMAX Technika Tune Review – Vita’s Definitive Rhythm Game

Brandon Orselli — Thu, 15 Aug 2013 15:18:09 -0000

Yup, we're hopefully getting codes for that to review it :)

Yeah I should have mentioned that, activating fever can get really hard/annoying if you're playing some of the REALLY insane songs, with most songs I don't have an issue but for some (like Oblivion on Club difficulty), I find myself struggling to hit it sometimes.

Even if it doesn't, both PS3 and Vita are region free so :) This game would definitely be worth importing, IMO.

Re: Deadly Premonition Review—Something in the Coffee

Brandon Orselli — Tue, 27 Aug 2013 07:39:54 -0000

Just an FYI, we're giving away a copy of the game on PS3 for free, all you guys have to do is comment on the review here.

Re: Divekick Review

Brandon Orselli — Tue, 27 Aug 2013 17:11:10 -0000

Yeah that's my bad. I thought I converted them all into one word as it is officially one word but I'm sure a lot of people separate the two by mistake as well.

Dick kick was our tag system screwing me over, it suggests words sometimes and I promise there are no games tagged by dick ... unless I'm missing something :P

Re: A Glorious Preview of Assault Android Cactus

Brandon Orselli — Thu, 29 Aug 2013 11:20:53 -0000

It's going to look so gorgeous on the Vita if they keep the framerate as good as it is now.

Re: A Glorious Preview of Assault Android Cactus

Brandon Orselli — Thu, 29 Aug 2013 13:02:40 -0000

The devs have been super cool - I'm going to bug them about it :) I too am proud that one of the devs is a fellow Gaffer.

My bad, I was using google translate for now and must have gotten things confused as I was copy pastaing them.

Re: Skullgirls Review—Painwheel is My Waifu

Brandon Orselli — Mon, 02 Sep 2013 18:25:31 -0000

We rate our games like Gametrailers! Kidding, but I stand by John's score. Also, if this is about whether or not Skullgirls is one word or two, it's definitely one word. The only major term from the game's lore that is two words is Skull Heart. The more you know!

Re: Skullgirls Review—Painwheel is My Waifu

Brandon Orselli — Mon, 02 Sep 2013 18:56:47 -0000

Ah, how did I miss that! I apologize for that - as John mentioned we recently lost a writer and we've been taking on more roles than we were used to.

I've been trying to keep up with the amount of content we put out on a daily basis but some small things can be easy to miss.

Re: XSEED is Teasing More Skin

Brandon Orselli — Thu, 05 Sep 2013 21:17:56 -0000

That actually looks exactly like it. Wow, this could be really amazing if true.

Re: Could XSEED’s New Game be The Legend of Heroes: Sora no Kiseki Second Chapter?

Brandon Orselli — Thu, 05 Sep 2013 22:26:20 -0000

Same I haven't played through the first one myself because I knew it was a trilogy. I only hear good things about it so now is the time, hopefully!

Re: XSEED is Localizing The Legend of Heroes: Trails in the Sky Second Chapter

Brandon Orselli — Fri, 06 Sep 2013 15:24:43 -0000

Ah, sorry about that. I'll make the correction, I wanted to make sure that people knew it would be playable on Vita, forgot to mention it would be a PSP release, but digitally on Vita.

Re: Playstation Vita Re-Design Announced

Brandon Orselli — Mon, 09 Sep 2013 13:45:14 -0000

Yep. I was worried they would scrap the OLED, that was one of the going rumors was that they're getting rid of it to cut costs. Shame they still haven't added video out, though.

Re: Attack on Titan for 3DS is An Action Game

Brandon Orselli — Mon, 09 Sep 2013 22:08:02 -0000

This would be amazing. You know we'll be covering it if this happens :)

Re: Fantasy Hero Unsigned Legacy Trailer

Brandon Orselli — Sun, 22 Sep 2013 22:53:05 -0000

I was worried that the download only nature might hurt its production values, but overall I think it looks like it could be a solid title. Not enough gameplay was shown though, imo.

Re: Natural Doctrine Full Reveal Trailer

Brandon Orselli — Thu, 26 Sep 2013 18:29:13 -0000

Also, I just wanted to point out how hilarious it is to me that the main character's name is Jeff. Just plain old Jeff.

So far, there hasn't been any confirmation of when it'll come West :(
