Get ready for CAPCOM VS. ...

Oh god i lol'd

 

Probably just gonna be Lost Planet 2.

 

...GOD DAMMIT

 

Or it'll be some Capcom fighter that you play in the first person using the Project Natal unit... if hardcore gamers whinge about using a joystick without non sanwa parts and the 10ms delay from input to display then I hate to think what they would say with the several frame delay of the Project natal camera...

 

I'd have to go with Strider 3 exclusive. Then i'd have no choice but to buy
a 360.

We had Strider II from US Gold. Complete crap but some amazing speech for a Mega Drive.

 

The US Gold Strider II, also known as Strider Returns, was indeed garbage, but there was actually a real Strider 2 for arcades and PS1.

 

and that strider 2 was amazing. Play it all the time in MAME

 

Ooh. Kotaku just reported that the big announcement is Monster Hunter Frontier for the 360, a port of the PC game. Online only? I haven't played it before, so I don't know if there's a big functional offline game like there is with all the other MH games.

 

Great, just what I wanted. Sarcasm mode was on by the way.

 

I love Monster Hunter. It's in my PSP more than all my other games put together, and I'm chomping at the bit to see what they do with the Wii version in the States. I understand why it has limited appeal, but the way I get people interested is by telling them that it's Phantasy Star Online with loincloths and no character class restrictions. I really hope there's an offline game lurking in this release somewhere.

 

This was seriously their big announcement? Guess this might be a bigger deal in Japan, but it's really underwhelming. With a cool teaser like that, I expected some traditional Capcom franchise to make an appearance...

 

Kotaku stole the news from other people but yeah it's now official. The big anouncement is an exclusive deal on Monster Hunters Frontier (PC game) port to 360. Due out this summer.

I'm not sure why they went exclusive, that's kind of stupid and MS probably payed a butt-load for it. The game will supposedly be running on separate servers. So unless a lot buy the game, there won't be many people to play with.

Second that ! :nod:

 

Curious. Why do you claim that Kotaku "stole the news from other people" when Kotaku was at the press conference with everyone else?

Not sure how one can "steal news" from a press conference.

Well, it wasn't "only" Monster Hunter Frontier being revealed as part of the Capcom x Microsoft thing. By the way, the trailer makes me laugh... it opens in a way that makes it look like it's trying hard to come off as a Final Fantasy XI rip-off. It's actually kinda hilarious to see that 2007(?) PC game and compare it to the 2001 Final Fantasy XI and see that FFXI still holds up pretty damn well in many ways. Anyway, for the rip-off comment... let's listen to the Vana'diel March that plays in some of the FFXI trailers (containing similar "scene" compilations as the MHF trailer + is the opening tune to FFXI as the camera pans around various landscapes). Yeah... I think they could've at least picked a better tune for their MHF trailer... one that doesn't resemble the Vana'diel March so much

Anyway, Capcom's "Microsoft" announcements also included "Dead Rising - The Movie" which will be distributed via the Xbox LIVE Marketplace and the inclusion of Marcus and Dom (the main chars from Gears of War) in Lost Planet 2 (guess LP2 will contain several guest skins. Wesker in his Resident Evil 5 form was previously confirmed too)

 

No they weren't. And kotaku's original news of it being frontier was in a retweat of another person who got the information from an up and coming famitsu.

Their own website post the picture.

My post was also refering to kendrick post. Maybe my sense of time was off and his post was after the official announcement but watching the info swirl last night on neogaf it was known before kotaku mention it. Which then later people were bringing up like if kotaku actually had some news that nobody else had (if you can't tell, I don't like kotaku).

 

Yes, I was reading about these on the Japanese 360 just before. The trailer for the Dead Rising movie is right up there with the great sick Zombie movies. Let's just hope that the whole movie is as gory and gruesome as the trailer.

 

So you're saying that the author of this post wasn't really at the press conference?

http://www.kotaku.jp/2010/01/capcom_sokuho.html

And the live blog he had been planning to do was simply made-up hyperbole?

Kotaku had news of the press conference up as soon as the embargo lifted at 5pm Tokyo time. I'm not a fan of their writing style, but still, it's difficult to claim that they weren't at the event unless you were there and know for a fact that the Kotaku writer wasn't.
