So I'm thinking about picking up Ninja Storm 3 and I was checking for any serious differences and not finding much.

Anybody here capable of pointing out any serious discrepancies between the 360 and PS3 versions?

If not, then that's okay.

Splinter Cell: Blacklist hands-on stealth session

I don't like that pistols have finite ammo again, especially since the last SC game and the last two Rainbow Six games had infinite ammo pistols. Otherwise, looks good.

Anybody that likes point-and-click adventure games, and especially anybody that played and enjoyed The Neverhood, or is a big fan of claymation, there is now a Kickstarter for a claymation adventure game from the same creator as The Neverhood (and Earthworm Jim), called Armikrog.

Ended up buying this on the PC. I honestly can't believe Capcom could get this game so right, but absolutely fuck up their main line of games so horribly. This is survival horror done right. Which is something I've been lacking in my gaming diet. Never could get into Dead Space, and most of the indie scene was putting out some good survival horror games, but nothing that could hold my attention.

Revelations is hopefully the formula Capcom continues with in the future, I feel like I've falling in love with RE all over again.

Michael Heide · 05-30-2013, 03:06 AM

Yeah, I played that on the 3DS. Even with the clunky second analog stick extension, this game was immersive as hell. "Mayday, mAYdAY... MAAAAAAAAYYYYYYDAAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYY..."

Hybrid Lantern · 05-30-2013, 03:16 AM

I could get into 5 & 6 but not Revelations.

That's probably because you didn't grow up playing Resident Evil I-III

Instead you get the awful action movie that Resident Evil has become.

Michael Heide · 05-30-2013, 05:43 AM

Yeah, this is the first "classic" Resident Evil since Zero, back on the Gamecube. I like 4 for what it was. But it wasn't Resident Evil. And let us not speak of 5 and 6.

I played 1, the controls were way to clunky. First game I ever regretted getting.

Lantern A-train · 05-30-2013, 02:11 PM

Are we talking Resident Evil Re:make of 1 or the original Resident Evil from 1996? If it's the latter what the hell wasn't clunky on PlayStation in 1996...

lol. The Resident Evil remake on the Gamecube is probably my favorite game in the entire series. I actually really enjoyed Resident Evil 4, and had fun playing Resident Evil 5 in co-op mode with a buddy, but the atmosphere was just gone.

I think if Resident Evil: Revelations proves anything is that you can incorporate the updated mechanics from RE4 and RE5, without losing the atmosphere and overall feeling of the game. Because Revelations is pretty easy to control, on the PC anyway. But most of the rooms you're in are closed in and provide a sense of urgency and foreboding, something the series has lacked for a long time.

I played the RE6 demo, and I nearly shed a tear from the shittiness of it.

HAHA, love it. I nearly didn't want to shoot the lock off the door. And I think I uttered more than a few expletives during that boss fight.

Metal Gear Solid.

Marvelous Iggy · 05-31-2013, 12:59 AM

MSG1 had some pretty stiff controls.

In other news, I preordered The Last of Us through Amazon and some how I received 20 dollars in credit towards the game and so I'll get if for 40 bucks when it comes out

. YAY ME!!!

Frank Castle · 05-31-2013, 02:14 PM

Yeah Johnny I noticed on Steam that you were playing RE:R, I want to get it myself, just dont have the money at the mo. The problem with RE 5 n 6 is that they have a bigger market than normal survival horror games. It's why they went the action route, old fans like most of us might hate them, but they do actually sell pretty well.

Which is why I'm not sure Capcom will ever return to the old format.

Besides, we have the original creator of RE new game, The Evil Within, which from the new screen shots already gives me the vibes of RE:Remake and Zero, which can only be a good thing.

JohnnyV · 05-31-2013, 02:18 PM

Well, Resident Evil 6 drastically sold below expectations. So hopefully that will get their heads out of their asses. And I've read up on, and checked out The Evil Within. Pretty stoked for it.
