They should have just shown a condensed version of this ad on TV: http://www.gametrailers.com/video/whip-kick-bulletstorm/710654

Still one of my favorite video game trailers.

Okay, while Double Dragon Neon doesn't look great (Still shaking my head at the visuals), it looks like it might play fine enough from the PAX videos. The music is killer, too.

Either way, I hope it's good because I want more Double Dragon games beyond yet another remake of DD1.

How is it that Ratchet: Deadlocked, a spin off from last gen has more content than most full price retail shooters these days? Heck, this game is even shorter than the main R&C games, yet it's still longer than your average shooter campaign this gen.

Because Insomniac actually has a soul and puts lots of love into every game they make.

Well, I mean even the Resistance games. In Deadlocked, vehicles are optional (aside from Landstalker missions), you have tons of weapons and tactics at your disposal, varied missions, optional challenges, upgrades, and AI partners that do more than just die and have you restart the mission (and you don't even need to run over to them to revive them!)... Heck, you even have a co-op with multiplayer mode.

From fan complaints, I was expecting it to be a disappointment, but it's not even close to that.

Good to hear that this game is playable.

Some highlights

QuoteFirst, Emo Dante isn't emo in the least. Like Dante Classic, New Dante is raw rockstar sex appeal in tight trousers, who swaggers around, cracks jokes - funny ones, this time, thanks to Ninja Theory's talented writers - and carries himself like he's invincible because he almost is. He's young - nineteen-ish, maybe, but who cares? - and well on his way to becoming the Dante you know and love, right down to the way he begins DMC shirtless and, er, pants-less.

:D

QuoteDMC wants to make some new friends and that means doing a few things the best of the best will hate. Forget Devil May Cry 4; the real Devil May Cry 3 sequel was Bayonetta, and nobody bought the bloody thing. Hideki Kamiya's Devil May Cry follow-up proved a point - limitless depth is worthless if only one percent of players can explore it - so Ninja Theory has turned the volume down on Devil May Cry's cruellest tricks and making a game new players can enjoy and older players can still explore, even on its more limited terms.

I can't take this article seriously at all.

Hey look, more gamers justifying companies making decisions against them.

What an annoying generation.

Tam Tam certainly did.

Didn't it sell something like one million copies on the Xbox alone?

This is why we can't have nice things, CVG.

I'm pretty damn sure Bayonetta has been Platinum Games' best selling title to date.

Bayonetta was a success, yeah.
I didn't even know that. Either way, it's stupid to use sells to determine how watered down a game should be.

That, and I'm pretty sure that both of Ninja Theory's games bombed compared to Bayonetta and DMC 4.
