I got my copy in the mail right now, so I'll check when it gets here. Really can't wait to dig into that.

*RUMOR* New Paper Mario in development!

Please be a new game like the first two!
I want it. I need it.

I've been hearing that as far as Paper Mario goes, Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam only makes references to Sticker Star, and ignores the first three games.  :bleh:
That's just evil, man.

Platinum's worst kept secret is now out in the open.

Quote

  • Assemble your team in 4-player online co-op mode!
  • Fight fan-favorite enemies like Bebop and Rocksteady!
  • Visually stunning, fast-paced combat true to PlatinumGames' signature style.
  • Gritty comic-inspired art style turns a new chapter in TMNT history!
  • Original story penned by IDW Comic's TMNT author, Tom Waltz.
Not the biggest fan of how the actual turtles look, but everything else looks really fun. TMNT deserves better quality games than the last few and this might stack up to Konami's classics.

Looks fantastic! Just wish it had split-screen. :(

I was just going to say that I hope it has offline co-op. Please tell me it's exclusion has not been confirmed.

I'm hoping for it, but given that they didn't confirm it, I remain doubtful. It would be nice if they could at least get a 2 player split screen mode in there but I'm not going to hold my breath.

Still, after Devastation, I'm really eager to see if Platinum brings it to this game as well.

I saw a gameplay trailer for the new DOOM game, and I honestly kind of like what I saw. It seems to be less fixated on the way of most modern FPS games and more focused on the classic style of simply killing monsters that get increasingly more tough to fight. Maybe that's just clever editing, but if I had a current-gen console, then I'd probably give this game a shot.

Spark Of Spirit

The problem I had specifically with the gameplay video I saw was the level design. This video doesn't show any level design so I can't say they tweaked it, but since my absolute favorite thing about DOOM is exploration and maze-like design I hope they don't miss out on it here.

Dr. Ensatsu-ken

While I do love the level design from the classic games, Id can't really stick too close to that for a modern game since modern gamers and critics would call it outdated and tedious after spending five minutes in frustration not being able to find a blue key because they are too used to games spoon-feeding them everything in this day and age. This is how the FPS genre got ruined. Even a game like F.E.A.R would be criticized these days for being "unfair" because nobody actually wants to learn to be a better player anymore.

I'm not particularly excited for the new Doom, but it definitely looks better every time I see it. I'm super glad they decided to remove the piss filter and make the series colorful again. It's hard for me to get hyped, though, when the only games Id has released in the past decade are Rage and BFG Edition, neither of which I liked.

Dr. Ensatsu-ken

It's probably not going to be on par with any of the classics, but as someone who actually quite liked DOOM 3 (not the BFG Edition), I think that it could still be pretty entertaining if handled right.

Foggle

Oh, I love the original Doom 3 as well! It's a great game.

Spark Of Spirit

Oh, it could still very well be a great game. It's just that the DOOM games have always been their own thing-- the original originated so many FPS staples, the second added and built on everything to make it a real adventure, and the third added survival horror mechanics when everyone wanted a game like Black or whatever instead. In an industry overflowing with FPS games, DOOM needs its originality more than ever to stand out.

But in the end, if it's good, I'll play it.

This NEEDS to be the cover for Doom 4.
