So, this one time at band camp... a certain video of Metal Gear Solid 4 hijacked the entrity of a podcast. Okay, maybe not the whole show, but the special features dvd of Podtoid-san has almost twenty-five minutes of us moaning to Vamp fighting Raiden.
I'm not saying that'll happen again... but a certain life alteringly (in a plot way) MGS4 video just dropped at Tokyo Game Show. Normally I'd feel bad for just mindlessly pimping something so obviously Dtoid territory, but Zac did it first. We could also talk about other TGS'ish things that have more Japanese themes to them, like Doki Doki Majo Shinpan 2 and LocoRoco: Corocopuffs.
Fun will of course ensue, but I'm jonesing for some great reader questions. What do you guys (and girls) have for us this week?
Edit: Holy knights of columbus, new White Knight Story Trailer. It would be a crime to not discuss TGS now.
live comments!
I hope you can forgive me John, because I sorta have a big post for y'all.
First off, MGS4 looks like a good game, but seriously y'all, the Vamp-Raiden fight was total ASS. As far as the designers managing to animate all of that it is respectable, but the fight itself sucks harder than Superman 64. No more overused wuxia, please.
Okay, hate out of my system, am I alone in thinking Square-Enix has completely lost their old talents, and has all but been replaced by Level 5 as far as the juggernaut of good JRPGs? Enix has essentially given Level 5 the Dragon Quest series, and L5 has what could be a huge hit in White Knight Story on their hands.
And bloodthirsty otaku rejoice--No More Heroes is officially coming to the US! =D
