TalkBack / RE: Acclaim Games Publishing Rights Auction

So if these are the publishing rights, what happened to the licenses?  I'd love to see a new extreme-g, provided the license went to a good home.

At last I have achieved my lifelong dream of being mistaken for a Japanese person on the internet. :b

The Hylian voice acting idea is cool, but in it's current incarnation Hylian is just a set of alternate characters for the Japanese language.  You can actually read all the signs in Wind Waker with a scan of the japanese instruction manual, a japanese dictionary, and a rudimentary knowledge of the language.
The Al Bheid language from Final Fantasy X comes to mind.

Is anyone here going to download games they already have?

I would repurchase my entire N64 collection if the Revolution displays them in higher resolution.

TalkBack / RE: Soul Calibur III Exclusive to PS2

« on: March 24, 2005, 03:48:31 PM »

Gamers such as me who own both a gamecube and a PS2 should keep in mind that if this is a timed exclusive, Sony will do everything in their power to sucker you into buying the PS2 version before the gamecube one is announced.  That may mean quelling rumors of a GC version.  After seeing the sales figures anyone can see clearly that the PS2 can't compete in a simultaneous release.  Sony is playing dirty here.
There was a "making of" video I saw on IGN where one of the developers was saying that in SCII they used the guest characters to broaden their audience.  I'm one of the gamers who initially developed interest in SCII because of Link's inclusion, but found everything else about the game immensely satisfying.  There are hundreds of thousands of people like me who hopped onto the franchise only to be pushed off by this decision.  It would be completely irrational, no matter how much money Sony is throwing at them, to build up such a fanbase and then throw it away.  Ideally, Sony's motive is to make it seem exclusive so that sales of the PS2 version will trounce those of the GC.
I'd love to see this game on the gamecube, even if Link isn't part of the deal, and I'm not going to let this announcement ruin my anticipation.
