My interest peaked.

[Bobbias]

Wow, that is some intense editing capability. Also, it's Piqued, not peaked.

Actually, Metal Fatigue was an RTS with underground (and high altitude) support :pp p pPP pP  SC2 still looks pretty damn awesome, though.

looks cool, but BUT, if it's another god of war clone (based on the combat it is very possible) im not interested.

context sensitive boss fights?  no thanks, id rather watch an action movie.

Remember when it was more simple to kill dracula? Super Castlevania IV ftw forever <3

castlevania rondo of blood gets major love points from me

Apperently there's going to be sticky grenades and dual wielding side arms (even Degals) in Modern Warfare 2. I can't think of anything outside of "FUCKING STUPID" when I hear of someone using degals akimbo.

[Sneaky]

Sticky grenades... oh boy now i won't have to hold on to the grenade as i run into someone to jihad them

and yes dualie deagles belong in the matrix k thx plx

[vladgd]

i have a list of 3, and i may not get em all

borderlands (IF it turns out ok, im kind of skeptical)
modern warfare 2 (basically the same reason i got cod4 for 360...all my friends play it)
dragon age (it's fuckin bioware, fuckin tim curry is in it, how could these two do wrong?)

Well, you can't aim with using two pistols at once and it takes the place of your main weapon and it takes up a perk slot I'm pretty sure so I don't think anyone's going to use it outside of going for challenges. The Semtex aren't really grenades. They're just sticky bombs and sticking them to people isn't exactly what you normally do. They're also bright orange so using them in ambushes won't be as easy as using C4. I believe they also have a similar throwing arc to C4, which means it's tiny and very hard to actually tag people with unless you get very close and they will probably kill you for that.

USA version doesn't come out until 2010.

Wow, seriously? When was the trailer for that game first shown, anyways?

EDIT: Wait what.

Final Fantasy XIII was originally started using Unreal Engine 3. Eventually it was found that that wasn't going to work because UE3 is ass to work with on PS3. Thus, Square completely scrapped what they had and restarted, starting with a completely original dev tool called Crystal Tools. Thus, what we know of FFXIII came to be. And yeah, Japan gets it at the end of the year and we get it Spring 2010. I'm purposefully blacking out all information I get on the game from here on out because I want to try to recapture what I loved about Final Fantasy to begin with. I want the whole game to be fresh and exciting and I don't even want to know how to get skills in the game until I see an in-game tutorial or something while I'm playing it.

FFXIV is using a much-updated FFXI engine and is actually really different. No leveling, stats based on equipment (so like Monster Hunter here), you can switch jobs on the fly, all sorts of other stuff. Someone's just trying to make a poor joke with the wikipedia thing. I don't really ever play MMOs of any kind so I don't really care about it too much, but I like the changes.

Good to hear, but still, for a game supposedly aiming for realism (I know it's not, shut up) it seems completely out of place. I'd like to see more crazy shit then other then just that. Plus it just strikes a nerve knowing that some kids think using two desert eagle.

That and I've topped my team using mostly C4 on a domination map. It's a much more viable weapon when you realize you can cook it without risk, detonate it quickly, and it has a bigger blast radius then grenades.

NMH2. Notice the dick shaped power bar.
