AndrewTS Games: Crackdown, Rumble Roses XX, TMNT arcade. Does anyone here still play xbox1? And which games if so? Gears is on my list of played games from a rental, but I haven't bought it yet because I've been slammed with 300 bucks for car repairs, 100 bucks for new frames for my glasses, and I still need to shell out for student loan payments. My next 360 purchase will likely be Gears or Dead Rising, but I don't believe the latter supports online coop or anything like that.

That's exactly what it was. The "secrets" were on the site and you could read them without the book, but it was jumbled up in no apparent order, but you could go to the right section with a code in the book. So neither the guide nor the site was really a complete guide. I was on dial up then, as I suspect most folks were at the time. Doubly sucky. PlayOnline now is just FFXI stuff, and a FFIX Tetra Master guide. So the book is *completely* useless now--just go to GameFAQs. I don't normally buy game guides--I think with FFIX it was super cheap to get it extra, so that may have been why I got it. I've since sold it, though. Incidentally, the GameFAQs board for FFIX is still alive and kicking, so I maintain a sequel would have sold well.

Coming soon: The dead rising from the grave, human sacrifice, dogs and cats living together -- Mega Man Anniversary Collection for GBA?! And it appears from 1up's review that it's pretty darn rad. It's supposed to drop today/tomorrow-ish but I haven't seen it yet (although Raiden III is out on PS2), but I have an order in the works from Amazon. Anyone else get to play this title back when it was available to try as a demo playable on xbox?

I don't quite get how making the thread was supposed to resolve Inc's complaint. Mole at least got to spank his modkey, though.

Yeah, and based on various player accounts, it was actually a solid game, too.

It's hella weak that the Core is still so...Core-y. Considering how much their memory units cost, they should throw a 512MB memory unit in the box, so folks can have the nice feature of saving their games.

Besides citing pre-FFVII games, there are still roguelikes that pop up now and then. Oh and X___g____ didn't have hours of CGI. Instead it had....the chair.... Xenosaga is another matter. Personally, I had a cup of tea with Fire Red and haven't gone back since, although I had fun during that time.

I liked the "Ring shaped planet" part the most. It's a tragedy no one brought THIS game over to the US for release. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Genl242_ZU8

My nearest Gamestop is having a sale--buy 2 get 1 on used original xbox games. I'm not sure if it's every store or not, so you may want to call. The aftermarket price for Panzer Dragoon Orta has gotten up to $25 or so, it appears. So nab 'em while you can.

luke-o: turn your damn 360 on and accept me!

Vivi has a fanbase, and lots of folks like FFIX cuz it is old skool style. (I might have even liked it if so much of the game's basic secrets weren't so arcane and the official guide wasn't that PlayOnline garbage.) The obvious answer is Final Fantasy II-2.

I'm not exactly following you. I don't think that Square could make a game with the Final Fantasy name on it that's so bad people won't buy it.

Not when they can make a crappy spinoff. Anyone who willingly buys Final Fantasy II again needs a swift kick in the family jewels. Oh, and... http://www.joystiq.com/2007/04/23/final-fa...last-ten-years/ Oh joy Nintendo gets an exclusive on Crystal Chronicles?! Gee, thanks. However, if it uses DS to Wii connectivity similar to how FFCC on GC used GBA connectivity, it might be a hit this time, at least in Japan. That would be really lame, though.

Leopard has been delayed until October. (Perhaps not) coincidentally, it appears folks have figured out ways to run Mac OS X Tiger on PCs, apparently from reverse-engineering the Intel Mac builds. http://www.google.com/search?client=firefo...G=Google+Search

I was joking of course. I'm sure S-E wants graphics that are sort of like Advent Children but in real time. Wii can't do that. However, if they toned down the visuals it surely could do that and keep the pre-rendered video. A Final Fantasy-style RPG isn't usually going to be so complicated that the cpu has to be very advanced to calculate enemy a.i. and the area of the world you're visiting. However, something like Assassin's Creed, or a massive world like the Oblvion overworld--Wii isn't going to be able to handle it without immense sacrifices. Wii could do Gears of War (at least offline), but it would be *really ugly*. ....I mean, an ugly the creators weren't really going for.

On Square's part? Most definitely. I don't think you can really pigeonhole 360 gamers as ignint folks who just want to shoot things, or folks who have the system as just a "supplementary" console. Square should be able to see that if they put it on 360, people will buy it (i.e. Blue Dragon). Assuming the 360 can *handle* FFXIII, of course.

The "article" is short, spotty, has no quote listed, is inadequately sourced and vague. Considering that there is another Square story floating around that's based solely on a joke article on some 4th rate site, I'm hesitant to believe it without more detailed info from a more trustworthy source. "PS3 Center?" Who the **** are they?

Nothing, since there's multiple FFXIII projects, which was announced at the very beginning.

"Jax has been decapitated. He will be out for the rest of the season."

Rant: as far as I can tell the cable doesn't come with a converter if your VGA monitor has a "male" connector cable, right? It's just made to connect to a "female" VGA port?

If they wanted to use the NFL name, they surely couldn't do that, but if they went for another title, sure. Of course, while Legends of Wrestling managed to license plenty of wrestlers for the series--you need more folks for something like that idea. You'd be looking probably at a high cost to license enough individual "legend" players to fill a decent number of spots for a football game, when you could just make a fictional league. Unless you wanted to make, like, 4 "teams" or just a big pool of guys that you select from whenever you play a game. That would make a traditional franchise mode kind of unlikely. I wonder if Midway will just go ahead and make Mortal Kombat Football already. I swear that there are practically enough characters in the mythos to make 8-10 teams.

Interesting article laying out what the Elite 360 does--and more importantly doesn't--offer over the current versions of the system: http://www.gamepro.com/microsoft/xbox360/g...T&ATTR=DIGG It's in need of editing big time (Gamepro's journalistic standards are damn low), but there's plenty of valid there. Ignore the stupid comments, though.

There's an accessory cable for the 360 to connect it up to a VGA monitor.
