EGM's June 2008 Retro Issue (Guess What Game's Mentioned)

[V_Translanka]

More overtly violent, offensive & foul than...CHILLER!? I think not...

[Boo the Gentleman Caller]

Well, six year old Boo may agree with you on that one...

But 22-year old Boo is completely desensitized to violence thanks to the current state of the world.  Thanks, world!

I just downloaded that ROM, and let me tell you, that game is FUN.

[V_Translanka]

Oh yeah, I added the cover of the EGM in question to my first post in this thread and yup, there's the new Splatterhouse on the cover.

[Molotov]

Well perhaps the fact that Splatterhouse IS getting another installment disqualified it from the list of games/series that still need another installment.

Of course, but what would I find to post about if I wasn't doing my "I don't like Trigger much" routine?

[MagilsugaM]

That game is fucking amazing I remember playing it on DOS!!

[V_Translanka]

I didn't feel like making a whole new thread for this slight mention of CT in IGN's hands-on preview for FFIV DS, so I'll just post it here...

Final Fantasy IV is what many consider to be one of the first true FF titles to really deliver on the "wow" factor. There's no denying the shock and awe that came with the original games, and we're not out to start a Final Fantasy debate (those never have winners anyways), but when you think back to the SNES era and storytelling greatness, it's often the trilogy of IV, V, and VI that really set themselves apart. We'd of course throw a little Chrono Trigger in there as well, but unfortunately that isn't remade and in our hands right now…

Good to know I'm not the only one thinking it! ^_^

Here's a Link to the preview, btw, in case you're interested

Thanks; added to Wikipedia. Steadily, a big magazine consensus of "WE WANT A NEW GAME NOW" articles is building in the CT sequel section and in the CB article. The CC article is a little behind the curve; I need to go in and overhaul it.

Palom and Porom look like Monkeys...

I WOULD LOVE TO SEE A NEW PARASITE EVE!!! Scarier, darker, and cooler... I would buy a 360 for that shit.

[Boo the Gentleman Caller]

Actually, they're making another Parasite Eve game, T_Rod.  It's called "3rd Birthday", and it's going to be for Japan's uber-advanced cell phones...

[neo-fusion]

Yeah I remember getting email alerts about that from ign... uggh... why the hell can't they just do it on 360 or ps3 ... preferably 360 since that's what I am getting.

I would also love to see a vagrant story remake.

[Boo the Gentleman Caller]

Well I'll say this: phones in Japan are further advanced than Americn cell phones.  They are about to be capable of DS/PSP graphics - no lie. I mean, look at pictures from Kingdom Hearts: Coded.  It's hard to believe that such graphics are capable on a friggin' cell phone, but it's true.

[V_Translanka]

Yeah, they actually have a cell phone gaming MARKET there...It makes complete sense for them to be making sequels/spin-offs/what-have-you on cell phones. It's not like it's keeping them from making games on other systems...and it also lets them test the (local) gaming scene for popularity of such & such titles...

[neo-fusion]

Understandable... i need to get my hands on one of them...

Still want to see a vagrant story remake though.
