@Runefactory I don't know if you still visit (it's two months since you commented) but wanted to respond to your comment anyway.

Sadly this time RSG wasn't able to bring Rune Factory over on Wii. Remember that RSG is part of a larger company and sometimes things just don't line up correctly or there are things out of its control.

I know I would have loved to get the Wii and PS3 versions too but it just wasn't to be, sadly.

@Aviator That was one screenshot! Would you like some more?

@WolfRamHeart That's too bad, I was looking forward to sharing PS3 pawns with you!

@WolfRamHeart I agree, the 360 version does seem brighter than the PS3 one and suffers less from tearing. I've played it a lot on 360 and PS3 and the PS3 version is slightly inferior; some slowdown during saving mostly.

As for DLC, looks like Capcom will release bundles of add-on quests, plus there'll be the usual new weapons, customisation options and the ability to buy Rift Crystals (the currency used to hire pawns). It's a massive game so even if you don't buy the DLC I think it's a good deal on its own.

@rjejr So a bit of info:

1 — Personally I don't mind the lack of lock-on: as a MH vet I'm used to it. One character has homing arrows but otherwise it's all about your skill and freedom of character movement. You get used to it, promise

2 — You can turn off subtitles or mute all voices if it bothers you. You can also turn off mini-map and button guides to free up some more of that space. Up to you!

This and Sonic Colours should both prove that 3D Sonic games can be good.

I love you guys.

@JavierYHL Sony's got nowt to do with FFVXIII, take that up with Square Enix!

Already have this on my 360 and it's ace. Would love to compete against you guys though and show how incredibly good I am at the Icarus Factor.

I don't think I'll play this, I think I'll just watch it instead.

@goldgin Don't get me wrong, I think FIFA has made incredible progress in the past few years compared to its efforts from 1999-2008, but promising the next game will be the "most realistic ever" is like a band saying its next album is the "best thing it's ever done" — ultimately meaningless!

Yeaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhh.

Out today for me. Bring it on.

How long until this is cancelled, I wonder?

@turtlelink This will be amazing, I am (almost) certain of it. I will be reviewing both anyway so let me know any questions you might have

I personally have no problem with online passes: I think they're a decent way of publishers getting money from pre-owned sales that would otherwise be lost. Like rjejr I think we'll see more online passes rather than banning used games, though I would like to see more publisher-wide passes: your PS Plus subscription should function as your Sony online pass, for instance.

@rjejr They're not charging for online passes if you buy your games brand new

I've been really excited for this since the E3 showing last year. Now I have to wait longer? Not cool

@3Above Two Mario games and Monster Hunter are doing the trick for Nintendo, plus the new Fire Emblem is selling really well. But like Savino pointed out, 3DS really struggled in its first few months and now it's unstoppable in Japan. I'm confident Vita will go through the same upswing when the big games start piling in

@Savino Not sure what you mean. Can you explain?

Bravo, @Magi

"Hasn't aged particularly well"? You blasphemer, it's one of the best download games there is. Shame on you.

@Slaysme I think the gist is "good idea, bad execution" — when it takes a minute or two to open every move you can tell how that would really slow the game down. I know it's one of those first world problems, but if the execution were better it'd be more enjoyable

Tweets deleted for MAXIMUM CONFIRMATION.

But yeah, it wouldn't be complete with Cole.

@Master-Nas Well it's not announced for Vita so don't go getting your hopes up

Hi guys, apologies for the mix-up — Battlefield and Disney Universe are only on PS3, not PS Vita.

£9.99 for Sly Cooper trilogy HD? I was going to buy Sonic CD and VF4 but think I might get this instead!

Nnnnonooooooooooo....!

@TOMBOY25 It should be in safe hands with Sumo Digital — they've got stacks of experience creating portable racing games. Really looking forward to this!

Cross play please!

@Levelfailer Kratos isn't in multiplayer apparently!

@rjejr In the full game you can remove screen clutter and turn down/off NPC chatter!

Huzzah! I'll be downloading the DD demo as soon as it hits the EU store. Love that your progress carries over to the full game.

Good old Olly Moss, always quality art with him.

@Stuffgamer1 For precisely that point Besides, it's not a PlayStation game, so there's that.

Think I may buy myself some PlayStation Plus as a present.

@Stuffgamer1 Seeing as it's not actually out yet, I think we can definitely be excused

Now everyone go buy Everybody's Tennis because it's awesome.

"Dalektable" — I've taught you well, Sammy.

@Knuckles I own the original Sonic Triple Trouble on Game Gear and have access to a region-free 3DS too You'll notice sometimes we get US writers to review EU games and vice versa, depending on who's the best candidate for the job. We always find a way to make it work!

Sonic 4, however, will be all mine!

@Ginkgo Oddly not confirmed, but I hope so. Eurocom did a great job with the Move controls in GoldenEye Reloaded, but I'm not even 100% sure if 007 Legends is first- or third-person.

I could really go for some MH-style action on Vita.

I would imagine another studio (Ready at Dawn maybe?) is working on a Vita GoW

@WolfRamHeart In the UK they're on the same day — 2am for Sony, 5pm for Nintendo I expect Nintendo will confirm its conference time/date but it's always been 9am Pacific on Tuesday :

Looks like I'm getting up early Tuesday for this one, which is great as Tuesday's also Nintendo's conference.

Still love you, E3.

@ShogunRok It's hard to say how big it is because this preview version ended after I reached a certain quest, so I haven't seen the full game. So far it seems more on par with Oblivion than Skyrim, which is fine by me — there's a lot of running and walking, and the day/night cycle makes it dangerous to go out at night. I certainly did a lot of travelling though, and there are lots of areas I didn't discover judging from my map!

@rjejr Nope, not really like Monster Hunter. This is free-roaming, quest-driven and has far less grinding. There's no lock on either but you don't need it as it's much quicker than Monster Hunter — much less position-attack-dodge and much more attack-attack-attack-dodge. I know you can hack bits off giant monsters but that's really the only similarity

@sony_70 Glad you're excited for this. I think you'll like it!

I forgot to mention you can cut bits of them off too — you can take down a Chimera's heads one by one, or target the head of a hydra and slice it off, which is pretty cool.

It's out for PlayStation Plus subscribers in the Europe I believe — not on general sale just yet

I sent £5 his way earlier. Well played Julian — you're an inspiration

@SeVok Ripstone tells me the game's now confirmed for 18th April

@MitchConcannon The "Episodes from Liberty City" in this update is the two add-on packs "Ballad of Gay Tony" and "The Lost & Damned", but doesn't include the original GTA IV. If there's a bundle on the store, I'd wager it's all three games, but don't take that as gospel!
