Yeah, I hear you...but damn it if Ocelot isn't cool. I won't mind if he's in the next game. Although, I don't like the idea of an old looking, wrinkled and gray, Snake. Ah well, what are you going to do.

Kojima knows we want ocelot to die by Snakes hand after all the times he has escaped death. I think thats the only reason he is in MGS4.

The young Ocelot was boring as hell but the old one in MGS1 and MGS2 is one of the coolest characters in gaming history.

Are you insane? Ocelot is awesome. Always has been, always will be...

The young one was so unlike the old one.

He wasnt as cold.

I thought it would be aswome seeing Ocelot as young but the young was a clown compared to Ocelot.

According to The Magic Box, Nintendo has announced over a dozen new games for the DS, including Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles (Square Enix), Final Fantasy III (Square Enix, 2006), Dracula Castlevania (Konami), as well as Ash (MistWalker). These are the ones that excite me, especially Ash, as well as MistWalker.

For those who don't know, MistWalker was formed by a group who left Square Enix, which comprises mostly of the people who made the older Final Fantasy's, like I-VI, and some of IX. From what I have seen/heard, Nobuo Uematsu's company, Smile Please will be working with both Square Enix and MistWalker.

You said it Darken. Lame as hell. It's even worse than the PS2 launch, which was shit, but at least they had Tekken Tag as a launch title. But I only see 8 there, do we know that the other 4 are going to be?

Post by **Femto** » Wed Oct 05, 2005 11:33 pm

lol @ 6 EA games

Ports no less.

Ha! The PS2 launch was the worst, the only game I got was SSX. IMO Tekken sucks. This is a pretty weak launch list. Project Gotham is a solid racing game and Perfect Dark could be really good, but I dont think they are real system sellers. We will just have to wait and see.

I was just watch g4tv (yeah shoot me) but Mr. moore i think was the one that said this was gonna be the best launch ever...

but yah i was laughing soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo fucking hard... none of those games are making want to get the 360.. plus the fact that some dont even come till december just kind of makes the whole launch seem stupid and pointless.

is it me or does M$ want to be like dreamcast?? and be the first to come out and then fail first. 9 i still would shell out money for the dc but i mean selling wise it failed in the US.)

Those are 5.

And only sports games and some adventures. Funny, I never really got into sports games.

Post by **Libaax** » Thu Oct 06, 2005 10:48 pm

You arent missing anything cause EA sport games suck so much.

Post by **Ayanami** » Thu Oct 06, 2005 10:49 pm

Looks like the two games I wanted at launch are not gonna be there. Oh well, I can't afford the damn thing at launch, so as ya do.

Post by **Starnum** » Fri Oct 07, 2005 10:56 am

Well, good thing I don't play a lot of sports games, because they've damn near monopolized the genre, dirty executive pricks.

Post by **Gaiseric** » Fri Oct 07, 2005 10:46 pm

I only play sports games if there is turbo and I can ignore the rules and run around beating the shit out of people. So I pretty much only play NFL Blitz and that one hockey game on N64.

NBA Jam for the win on the SNES for me. I used to be a big fan of NBA Live, until every other game that was released each year seem to have made little improvement graphically or in terms of gameplay.

I played NBA LIVE 06 last night at my friend house and i must say im shocked!!

That EA can make a good game! It felt like Pro Evolution Soccer games.
That all the players move like the real ones.

For example Jermaine O'Niell changes hand when he shoots like he does IRL.

Ben Wallace moves like king kong and jumps take all the rebounds.
