Not sure I could come up with 5 seperate voices but Resident Evil for the PS1 comes to my mind as being particularly horrid. I played the remake of it on the GameCube before the original and was curious to see what it was like, I just laughed and laughed until the first zombie, then I turned it off. A lot of PS1 and Nintendo 64 games had pretty bad voice acting actually, I guess noone took it seriously back then.

I thought this movie had disappeared off the face of the Earth for the longest time. Thanks for the heads up about the trailer, Shin. Only problem is I haven't found the novel anywhere, guess it's eBay for me.

OK, about another hour of pondering just what the hell this means for Nintendo's third-party relations I wonder how they could possibly port anything. I though that perhaps the d-pad could be used as more buttons just as the c-pad was on the 64, plus the analogue plugin is a big help for it too., in fact if that is the case then the Revolution would have [i]more[/i] buttons than it's competitors, and it's not like Nintendo couldn't release a standard pad, or plugin, for that little slot on the bottom for it. Also, Hideo Kojima(of Metal Gear Solid fame) and Square-Enix had praise for it, which could mean very big things. I can see Crystal Chronicles being put to good use with this. Ah, the possibilities people, try not to worry at all until you actually see the titles that Nintendo have planned.

OK boys and girls, they finally revealed the controller, and damn it's a shocker. [url="http://cube.ign.com"] Click here to see it.[/url] When I first saw it I wondered what Iwata must havebeen on when the idea popped into his head, now the more I think about it the more it sorta makes sense. I got to thinking how it could possibly be used in any setting other than arcade games in the tradition of EyeToy, but when you think about controlling Samus' arms or really piloting Fox's Arwing with that kind of precision it all seems right again. Think about swinging around Link's sword, or playing as Chris Redfield(just pretend RE5 is coming to Revolution) and mowing down hordes of zombies with bullseye headshots every single time. Imagine if Eternal Darkness made a comeback, the trageting system would be insanely realistic. Or you could just be boring and imagine playing Half-Life or Warcraft or something. How about a new Super Monkey Ball? And on a final note, it appears Nintendo have dropped the Revolution label.

I think it all the more easier to have a spherical world, the acre system was pretty retarded when you had to get somewhere quickly and end up about 5 screens from your target. With this you'll be able to see landmarks and such in the background so it'll be easier to navigate around the town. Also, Wild World does sound a bit like an expansion, like a theme park add-on to AC or something like that. Oh well, we get what we're given, I guess.

People of the Boards of Otaku! I have gathered you all here in search of assistance, you see when I was but a young lad laying in bed I came across a rather wonderful anime on the television. To my young eyes it was rather a treat to behold(and it had boobs!) and I beg you all to help me identify with this long lost relic of my childhood. Ok so, you can't help me ID it without some basic knowledge of what actually happens in it, so here are some of the things I remember: It was about a group of people(whoa, detective Ganon on the case), I think they were police or something. There was like the big tough guy and the small woman(they fell in love) and the depressed loony of a hero, and the hot girl who ends up falling for him. That's basically every anime ever made so here's some more for you! They were fighting some crazy psychic woman who could control things, she eventually caught up with the group and showed off one of the girls boobs to the big tough guy, and I think that girl got killed, too. They can't kill the crazy lady by conventional methods so they make a huge solar gun or something, which they need special glasses for so as not to go blind while firing. Well the last resort wepaon fails and rips the hero to shreds so he's turned into a cyborg. I think he falls into some kind of manic depression and his lover is forced to kill him to kill the creepy psychic lady. This is about where the memories end... Well I hope my extremely sketchy details are enough to uncover the mystery of my long lost movie. Now go, Otakuboardians, go out and find me my movie. EDIT: yeah, I know my details suck, but you don't know how bad I want to find this movie and I've searched for years with absolutely no results. If it helps the movie was around the mid 90's, but I'm guessing a lot of anime came out in those few years... And it was a standalone movie, not a series or anything like that.

[b]Most[/b] beautiful lyrics, you say? Well this is gonna be a hell of a time going through my collection, but two songs that really come to mind are [b]Name[/b] by the [b]Goo Goo Dolls[/b] and [b]Under The Bridge[/b] by the [b]Red Hot Chili Peppers[/b]. Even if [b]Under The Bridge[/b] is about drugs, heh. [b]Goo Goo Dolls - Name[/b] [size=2][size=1]And even though the moment passed me by I still can't turn away 'Cause all the dreams you never thought you'd lose Got tossed along the way And letters that you never meant to send Get lost or thrown away And now we're grown up orphans That never knew their names We don't belong to no one That's a shame But if you could hide beside me Maybe for a while And I won't tell no one your name And I won't tell 'em your name And scars are souvenirs you never lose The past is never far Did you lose yourself somewhere out there Did you get to be a star And don't it make you sad to know that life Is more than who we are We grew up way too fast And now there's nothing to believe Reruns all become our history A tired song keeps playing on a tired radio And I won't tell no one your name And I won't tell 'em your name I won't tell 'em your name Mmm, mmm, mmm, I won't tell 'em your name? Ow! I think about you all the time But I don't need the same It's lonely where you are come back down, And I won't tell 'em your name [b][size=2]Red Hot Chili Peppers - Under The Bridge [size=1] [/size][/size][/b][/size][/size][size=1] Sometimes I feel Like I don't have a partner Sometimes I feel Like my only friend Is the city I live in The city of angels Lonely as I am Together we cry I drive on her streets 'Cause she's my companion I walk through her hills 'Cause she knows who I am She sees my good deeds And she kisses me windy I never worry Now that is a lie I don't ever want to feel Like I did that day Take me to the place I love Take me all the way It's hard to believe That there's nobody out there It's hard to believe That I'm all alone At least I have her love The city she loves me Lonely as I am Together we cry I don't ever want to feel Like I did that day Take me to the place I love Take me all that way Under the bridge downtown Is where I drew some blood Under the bridge downtown I could not get enough Under the bridge downtown Forgot about my love Under the bridge downtown I gave my life away [size=2]Other notable songs are: A Perfect Circle - Orestes Finch - Ender Hoobastank - Escape Incubus - Aqueous Transmission Lostprophets - Last Train Home Lostprophets - Sway Mudvayne - World So Cold Pacifier - Run Slipknot - Vermilion (yeah, yeah. But I find it rather beautiful in a strange way.) Velvet Revolver - Fall To Pieces I could ramble for a few more paragraphs but I think this is sufficient, ciao. [/size][/size]

I've just been browsing around the net and stumbled across a new Richard Linklater movie by the name Of [i]A Scanner Darkly[/i]. I'm not really familiar with any of his works but I've seen pictures of the movie and the visual style itself is enough to get me intrigued, so after a little research I found out it was based off of a Phillip K. Dick novel. Again, I'm unfamiliar with his work, but whatever. The visuals really are something different, like [i]Waking Life[/i](which I never got the chance to see) but still rather different. Apperently it's made by animating over the top of live-action filming, it comes off as looking like a vectorised animation very cool. It stars Keanu Reeves, Winona Ryder, Woody Harrelson and Rory Cochran. Discussion is open, people. Please fill me in on any more info that I'm missing, I'm off to look for a place to buy the book.

Sure Nintendo have had the most impact on the industry, they revived games and kept them going long enough for the market to expand and grow into the mainstream, and they're still going strong and innovating even more today. But what have other companies done to influence the industry and mold it into what it is today? To say that it was entirely Sony that brought videogaming into the mainstream is stupid, the only reason games became bigger with the release of Sony is because there were 2 home systems for people to choose from now, more games means bigger industry. The bigger the industry the more people pay attention, the more people paying attention the more popular it is. And so, videogames became mainstream, Sony and Nintendo did it almost together. Then this time around, we have online console games, This time it was largely Microsoft's hand, but Sony also helped. I'm not big on online games(one could even go so far as to say I hate them, and I think they belong to the PC market only) So I can't discuss it too much, I can only point out this fact. But Nintendo, as well as molding the way we play our games, also influence the way games are made. Platformers were huge back in the days of the PS and 64, and still fare rather well nowadays(Jak and Daxter, Ratchet and Clank etc.). But it's not just Nintendo that made the games, Sega were huge innovators back then(and still are today). Sonic and Mario were the big guns in the 16-bit era, every kid wanted either Mario or Sonic. Now those kids have grown up and now we're getting their games, they suck, but that's not the point. The point is that Nintendo and Sega influenced the industry. Other companies also influence games, I think Halo would be missing a couple of things(or not exist at all) if it weren't for Rare's Goldeneye 007 on the 64. EA and their sporting game monopoly, do you think sports would be as big in games if it weren't for these guys? And lastly, SNK, Capcom and Namco. Fighting game extraordinaires, these guys push the bar up every generation with their fighting titles, leaving all posers in the dust. Fighting just wouldn't be as cool without these guys.

Well James, I live in a lovely little state called Tasmania, in a relatively small town called Scottsdale. To my knowledge there's no Electronics Boutiques in my state so yeah... I guess I could try ordering crap, but whatever. So James, can you get the RE4 disc in Australia or what? I'm a bit in the dark nowadays. [b]EDIT[/b]: Who cares anymore? IGN seemingly answered my prayers and updated with some new boss and level info(AND SCREENS!). You can find the article right [url="http://cube.ign.com/articles/576/576574p1.html"]here[/url]. [b]Spoilers[/b], so beware. OK, so the new boss is [SPOILER]Garrador, his eyes have been stitched shut and massive claws have been strapped to his arms. I assume he's located in the castle dungeons, the only appropriate place for freaks of this nature. IGN say he has heightened hearing abilities, so I hope Capcom does the cool thing and make it so that if you make noise, he attacks in your direction.[/SPOILER] And the new level is the [SPOILER]Castle, right after the village emptie out Leon follows a path out and to a castle in the distance. The castle is complete with traps, most you've probably seen in videos, but there's the new razorblade pendulums ^_^. And you can use vehicles within the castle(assuming you'd call a minecart a vehicle).[/SPOILER] Quite cool, really. This seems more and more like Eternal Darkness crossed with Rambo(to me, at least). I mean, Leon can run and jump out windows and snipe from towers and get caught in bear traps and etc etc, but there's all the creepy atmosphere which made me crap my pants while playing Eternal Darkness. Awesome... [b]EDIT TWO :[/b] As I opened up IGN's frontpage today a shudder went down my spine, the day I've been waiting for for over a year. [url="http://cube.ign.com/articles/577/577841p1.html"]Click here please[/url]. I'm in the process of reading so I'll pick out some choice quotes as I go along. "Simply put, this game not only delivers on the hype, it exceeds it. You will be wowed. You will be terrified. And when it's all over, you'll wonder why Capcom didn't do this sooner." "Rated M for a reason: extreme violence and gore" [img]http://otakuboards.com/images/smilies/biggrin.gif[/img] "There are no pre-rendered sequences in Resident Evil 4, but you wouldn't know it when watching the opening cinematic." "After some consideration, and much more play time, we came to realize the reason for this: more than any other entry in this series, this is true survival horror." "Armed only with a flashlight, the nearly helpless girl must slink by robed enemies and rapidly raise and lower gateways before her attackers can catch her. Playing through levels like these, it's impossible not to notice just how far Capcom has come, and why it continues to lead the way when it comes to survival horror." That's just from the first page, though. Why the hell are you still here!? GO READ IT!!! I am... March... Why so damn long? [b]EDIT THREE :[/b] It's official, Resident Evil 4 kicks some major ***, the *** of what, I don't know. I just checked in on [url="http://www.gamestats.com"]GameStats[/url] and the official press verdict so far is [b]9.9[/b] out of 10(IGN=9.8/10, GameSpy=5/5, GMR=10/10). So far there's no official GS score or a reader's score, but judging by events thus far, it's gonna be good. [img]http://otakuboards.com/images/smilies/lick.gif[/img]

Thankyou Charles. Something for me to theorise about. But whatever, that comes later. I've never seen an EB or Gamestop in my life, I live in Australia and I'm pretty sure that the demo isn't anywhere to be found over here, and I won't get the game until after March. This is why I need some kind of discussion... Those pics are pretty awesome, That [SPOILER]army guy looks like he could be Leon's superior officer[/SPOILER], subplots ahoy! I'm guessing perhaps [SPOILER]he was behind Ashley's abduction,[/SPOILER] or something along those B-Grade lines. I suppose he's part of that creepy cult(those weird monks) and is part of a giant conspiracy to make genetic superweapons to conquer the world, assuming Capcom tread the traditional RE path. And sorry about the spoiler thingy in my last post, completely slipped my mind. See, I was careful this time.

[quote name='Edward1066']I wouldn't, and won't, get the PSP or the Nintendo DS. There's no point, there's just going to be an even better version eventually.[/quote] That's just stupidity, if that's what you think then why play games at all? There's eventually going to be another console from Nintendo, one from Sony and one from Microsoft. So why do you play games?

Unless I'm sorely mistaken and I've screwed up my dates, Resident Evil 4 is on track for release in less than a month. And the last post was made something like 2 months ago, don't let it slip away people, we want to keep the discussion alive. Seen any new movies, any new screenshots? TELL US! I, for one, am starving for new RE4 media and haven't seen anything new on the game in about a month. Perhaps this is why the thread is dying, no new info and media = no more discussion. Can't anyone at least try and photoshop some pics of Chris and Jill into the game, then we can blast them after they make the discovery and we point out that those are from a cutscene on the Cube version of RE. Well enough of my rambling, [spoiler]We should all know by now that Ada Wong is in the game, for what purpose nobody really knows, but it looks like shes kicks a fair amount of *** and saves Leon and Luis(that right?) a few times.[/spoiler] We should have all seen a couple of the new locales, that weird canyon village thing interconnected with bridges and ramps and stuff. If it weren't for my 56k I'd know a hell of a lot more by now and I'd be able to discuss further, but alas, I don't. REVEL IN THE GORE PEOPLE!!! I HAVE AN ITCHING THAT NOTHING BUT SOME GOOD VIOLENCE CAN SCRATCH!!! [color=red]Added spoiler tags for obvious reasons--Charles[/color]

DAMNIT! Motion to ban Inu500 and Tigervx. They don't know what they're talking about, don't listen to them they're... They're crazy! Yeah, that's it. You don't wanna listen to crazy people do you? No, that's what I thought. But seriously, I agree with everything James said and he may as well just delete everyone elses posts, close the thread and put his post in real big writing. I really can't think of anything to say that hasn't been said here so I'll just leave this, a useless post on a great thread...

I dunno, The 64 cartridges went all the way up to 512 megabytes, half as much as a cube disc. And if I'm not mistaken the DS carts are only half that of the 64, I'm not so sure it's going to be as [i]complete[/i] as the other versions. But whatever, even a quarter of Animal Crossing is about as big as an average Final Fantasy game(or so I'm lead to believe). So it should be quite interesting to see how everything turns out, I'm sure no matter how many optimisation techniques they use, they'll still need to compress a lot of things and cut a lot of things out.
