I don't know about this Ridge Racer, looks more like a "Split Second" clone, cars crashing and exploding? (that's never been apart of the Ridge Racer experience) destructive points along the track? Namco, what are you doing?! There's nothing wrong with being elegant, it's what Ridge Racer's known for and what sets it apart from other racers! Yet another example of a game company, changing a winning formula!
Reiko Nagase & Pure Driving Skill I agree I never really was into Ridge Racer but you know what always went with it & i'd recognised Ridge Racer by was Reiko Nagase & pure driving skill. Ridge Racer was out driving other racers by skill & luck, now they go the MotorStorm Apocalypse split second burn out side? Get real, that's something i'd only play with friends because you know playing online 80% of gamers will spend time with cheap shots & doing nothing but crashing & destroying your car. No driving skill needed just wreck your opponents so you can win.
Lollipop Chainsaw gets a debut trailer at Gamescom [video=youtube;nRfroCeDk2E]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nRfroCeDk2E&feature=player_embedded[/video] Germany's Gamescom show has brought us this debut trailer for Lollipop Chainsaw, a new title in the works from developer Goichi "Suda51" Suda's Grasshopper Manufacture. As you can tell from the (scandalous!) footage after the break, the game's about a cheerleader named Juliet who just happens to also be a slayer of zombies, with a chainsaw as her weapon of choice.The official site lists the location as "San Romero High School," and since American horror/comedy director James Gunn is also along for the ride, you can probably expect plenty of sly references like that one in the game. Lollipop Chainsawis targeting a 2012 release on Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3. Lollipop Chainsaw debut trailer was brought to us by Art_of_Ronin earlier today YAY :vampire: CLICK THE LINK 4 MORE :vampire: Lollipop Chainsaw gets a debut trailer

Del Toro's Insane to be a sandbox game, Guy Davis doing creature designs Like a shambling horror in one of his own films, Guillermo Del Toro's upcoming project with THQ, Insane, is slowly creeping into the light. In an interview with MTV, the filmmaker turned game creator revealed that Insanewill be a sandbox game, which makes sense given developer Volition's pedigree (Red Faction, Saints Row).He also offered hints about exactly what kind of horror to expect, noting that Insaneis "Lovecraftian in a very sick way." He added that the game's creatures are "obscenely fun and unique," which they should be, given they're being designed by Guy Davis. :vampire: CLICK THE LINK 4 MORE :vampire: Del Toro's Insane to be a sandbox game, Guy Davis doing creature designs | Joystiq

No More Heroes: Heroes' Paradise discounted before it's even out Amazon has already discounted Konami's PS3 release of No More Heroes: Heroes' Paradise to $29.99, suplexing $10 off the retail price. For some reason, the retailer chose to forgo its usual credit offers, discounting the game directly. Heroes' Paradisehasn't even been released yet -- that happens tomorrow.As even more incentive to buy the game today, Amazon is also throwing in some exclusive pre-order DLC items, in the form of the "Cross Saver" beam katana and the "Moto Magazine 2" motorcycle. It might be nice to have a different motorcycle to look at during the open-world driving segments. :vampire: CLICK THE LINK 4 MORE :vampire: No More Heroes: Heroes' Paradise discounted before it's even out | Joystiq
Silent Hill: Downpour 'not missing out' without Yamaoka, says Vatra dev Vatra Games design director Brian Gomez doesn't feel that his studio's upcoming survival-horror title, Silent Hill: Downpour, is being too adversely affected by the absence of longtime series composer Akira Yamaoka. "I was worried when we lost him, we lost him really early on in Downpour. But I was a big fan of Dexter already, so I'm happy we got Daniel Licht," Gomez told me this morning after a GDC Europe panel on the SHfranchise. "It was the closest to Akira but also brought something new to it," he added. :vampire: CLICK THE LINK 4 MORE :vampire: Silent Hill: Downpour 'not missing out' without Yamaoka, says Vatra dev | Joystiq
I think Silent Hill: Downpour is missing out. Without Mary Elizabeth McGlynn Akira's music soundtracks, Silent Hill Downpour is just another horror game that just has fog. :demonangel:

PS3 price cut to $250, 320 GB model goes to $300 [update] Well, this is certainly surprising. Sony closed out its Gamescom 2011 keynote with the startling announcement that the PlayStation 3 (presumably the standard, 160GB model) has had its price cut across the globe: It's now $249.99 in the U.S., ?249.99 in Europe and ¥24,980 in Japan. According to Sony's Andrew House, this new price point is available immediately. As in, right now. This hot second. The $50 trimming of the system's MSRP comes nearly two years to the day after its original reduction to $299.99. We suppose that goes to show you: If you're planning on purchasing a Sony console, you should probably do so after the Ides of August. :demonangel: CLICK THE LINK 4 MORE :demonangel: PS3 price cut to $250, 320 GB model goes to $300 [update] | Joystiq [Update: Sony is rolling our another deal today, according to its official blog: A new Infamous 2 PS3 bundle is now available that includes the game and the 320 GB PS3 for $300.]
Mass Effect 3 trailer shows Shepard leading his flock (of space commandos) [video=youtube;6SoGlDpzFuQ]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6SoGlDpzFuQ[/video] The latest Mass Effect 3trailer bills itself as "Part 1" of the game's combat reveal and, as such, it shows off some of Shepard's new combat mechanics, notably the melee attack and some new squad leadership abilities. "Behind the boxes, right flank," Generi-Shep orders. Of course, we can imagine ourselves barking these same commands into our Kinect at home. Later, a huge mechsuit presents a larger challenge, but it's not clear if Garrus' Overload attack, which removed the mech's shields, was ordered by Shepard. If so, was that a voice command? :demonangel: CLICK THE LINK 4 MORE :demonangel: Mass Effect 3 trailer shows Shepard leading his flock (of space commandos) | Joystiq While this reveal definitely has gameplay in it, it's so edited it's difficult to glean much about the game's new combat mechanics.

Infamous 2: Festival of Blood gets Truly Bloody this October Electro-monster Cole from Infamous 2 is now an electro-vampire in Infamous 2: Festival of Blood, available on PSN this October. In this downloadable game, New Marais is infested by vampires. Cole is bitten, and must find the head vampire before the night ends, to reverse his condition. Does electricity hurt vampires? We'll find out, we suppose. Also, can you make a vampire game set in Louisiana and avoid comparisons to both Interview with the Vampireand True Blood? This post has already proven that you cannot.This was called a "brand new game available for download," which sounds more like a standalone PSN game than DLC. :demonangel: CLICK THE LINK 4 MORE :demonangel: Infamous 2: Festival of Blood gets Truly Bloody this October | Joystiq

[video=youtube_share;IDmaJwKK_ZI]http://youtu.be/IDmaJwKK_ZI[/video] Lollipop Chainsaw is the upcoming title from Goichi Suda's Grasshopper Manufacture and Hollywood's James Gunn. This is the game's debut trailer. The game follows the exploits of an 18-year-old zombie-slaying cheerleader, which sounds cool and all, but for goodness sake, the game better not have her repeatedly delivering cheesy lines like "Eat it" and "Bring it fat ass" while slaying the walking dead. Because while people want to play as a zombie-slaying valley girl, they may not want to hear her dull insults. Nice music choice for the trailer, though. Cute logo, too. Warner Bros. plans on bringing the game to the U.S. next year.
Yeah Reiko was Ridge Racer's mascot and you knew if you saw her, it had somthing to do with Ridge Racer!! I couldn't agree more Ridge Racer is or was supposed to be a game about sheer driving skills and with this change, does come those who are only going...
to destroy cars to win (i.e. blur, tail spinning cars out, I consider this cheating, as it's not an element of racing) that's exactly what it will come down to! The only thing I like about this new RR is the track creator, but that's not enough to get me to buy it!!
