I'm pumped — I've been looking forward to this since it was announced and was really bummed out when it was delayed seemingly indefinitely. And the price, well, that's pretty great too.
Although I do wonder why they don't go the Tokyo Jungle route and do all-digital for even cheaper. Seems like it would reduce some risk?
Awesome, I've been really looking forward to this ever since I got to try it out at PAX East. It's a Metroidvania with a twisted sense of humor and gorgeous visuals, hooray!
Man, that bums me out. I know it didn't do that great but I had hoped that EA had their expectations in check for reviving a dead IP into a different genre. I thought it was a pretty cool game and one that I should get back to online.
@Ginkgo: 18+ rating just passed, starts next year.
If it's under $30 I'd get it in a heartbeat cuz I'm still a sucker for physical media. Anything more than that and the goodies would have to be really convincing.
I quite enjoyed this at PAX East so I'll have to pick it up at some point down the line, but jeez, that price is a little rich for my blood at the moment.
I wonder I'd they plan on using Craig for all of the scenarios or if they will use the likeness of the film-appropriate Bond. Either way, could be cool.
He was super nice and very fun to speak with. He also seemed to think my iPhone case was totally rad, which, you know, it kinda is! I would've loved to speak with him more but some of my allotted time was lost for translation and I had maybe 15 minutes to speak with him anyway. Hopefully I'll catch up to him another time!
I'm one trophy away from Platinums in Vanquish and Jurassic: The Hunted. I'll get the latter eventually, but the former, well...those challenges, man, they kill me.
Arkham Asylum really is spectacular. I'm not much for collectibles but I was so engrossed that I went and got all of the Riddler trophies. It'll be nice to have time to pop in Arkham City eventually.
@Corbs: I don't know how many TPS you play but I think you'd really enjoy Vanquish. It translates the overwhelming action of bullet hell perfectly. Utter insanity and tough as nails to boot! There's also incredible allowance for tackling any given situation, and after my third go through I was still finding neat little tricks to use in combat. It's an incredible game.
@zezhyrule: I never said I was good at WipEout It's still tons of fun anyway I find.
@SpaceKappa: It's always a good time to pick up/revisit Vanquish! DO IT.

That's a real shame. Legends wasn't great but that studio has produced plenty of awesome games that it's sad to see them go.
