Awesome find and scores. 36/40, glad to see Famitsu giving a great score to a great game.
29/40 Guilty Gear 2 Overture? I was expecting a higher score. Maybe it's indeed not as good as I had hope (Love the 2D ones).

Also, what is that Apocalypse: Desire Next!!??? Anyone know about this one?

Skerj6093d ago (Edited 6093d ago )

Man GG2 got a crazy score, it still looks like Devil May Cry in the GG world to me so I think I'll be picking it up anyway. I really wish the 360 was region free.

HD gameplay montage is attached, the game looks soooooo dope I hope it makes it stateside. It reminds me of Bujingai on PS2 with better combat.

mesh16093d ago

tbh gulty gear series was not to great as the king of fighters series BU THE JAP fighter i wana se is RIVAL SHCOOLS NEXT GEN that was a great game

Skerj6093d ago

I think that's the only time we've ever agreed on something, Rival Schools/2/Project Justice is still my favorite 3d fighter. I somehow don't think Capcom will revive it though. But this Guilty Gear isn't a fighting game, it's more an action adventure that looked pretty damn cool in the trailers.

allforcalisto6093d ago

for once i actually agree with you.

rival schools was another level of awesome, other games seldom get close to.
its weird that i just put up a rival schools wallpaper on my desktop recently.

a next gen rival schools is really necessary. there's far too many serious games out there.

Marceles6093d ago

Yeah Rival Schools was really cool. It totally made me forget about the Street Fighter EX series. The tag-team fighting, mini-games, and story life mode was really cool (because of Tiffany lol). The closest 3D fighter to being like Marvel Vs. Capcom.

The Real Joker6093d ago

Wow! I had no idea that there were that many terrible DS games. I mean come on: Gouma Reifu Den Izuna Ni???? Seriously.

bootsielon6093d ago

Apocalypse: Desire Next (Xbox 360, Idea Factory): 6 / 5 / 4 / 6 - (21/40)

Nice try MSFT

AC Remakes Can Save Ubisoft Like RE Remakes Saved Capcom

Salman from Tech4Gamers writes "If Ubisoft plays its cards right, the Assassin's Creed remakes could achieve what Resident Evil 2 Remake did for Capcom."

AC1 Reimagining and AC2 Remakes first ... then Black Flag and others.

just_looken20d ago

It was talked about awhile back that the Singapore branch the ones that made skull bones are making a black flag remake. It has at that time 3 months of work put into it.

Terry_B20d ago

You believe something good would come from Ubisoft? Did you sleep the last 10-15 years?

just_looken20d ago

Right ubisoft has been on life support for awhile everyone of there ip's has had huge shift's in population/sales and fan base.

Right now its all about xdefient but that game is still fixing netcode issues 3 years in.

-Foxtrot20d ago

The only time they should be remaking the first game is when they are ready to reboot the series after a long break and want to get back to their roots. Start a new re-freshed timeline which they've convoluted.

just_looken19d ago

Though capcom has had sales for there re games lets not all forget the huge elephant in the room which is mod support.

The first resident evil remake was made by fans taken down by capcom then they stamped there logo on it after that mods came in made the replay factor way better than the original.

But when they made them all in house then came the cuts for the modern audience followed by re4 mt's then they went after the modders even in really old titles trying there best to crush mod support. Then you got the horrible drm crap pc port of village and that dumpster fire online re game.

So capcom has made money on remakes but after awhile there shine is not so bright

I hope ubisoft does not copy capcom as they would turn that dial from a 8 to a 11 add in there own mt's to older titles with time savers live service bs or worse black flag with stamina meter's.

MeteorPanda19d ago

don't you dare touch the first ac game. Your woke team would ruin it's charm

AndrewM19d ago

Woke has nothing to do with anything you fucking weirdo.

MeteorPanda19d ago

They wouldn't understand how to remake the first ac games, they'd ruin them with real life politics. Happy?

Multiple AC Remakes are on their way

fan_of_gaming28d ago

I'd like an Altair Collection, with Altaïr's Chronicles + Assassin's Creed + Bloodlines. I also wish Discovery would have been included in the Ezio Collection or offered as DLC for it.

Psychonaut8528d ago (Edited 28d ago )

Can’t imagine someone whose opinion I care to hear less. Unless it’s a “AAAA” interview, then that changes everything. /s

Demetrius28d ago

Damn I know we gone be waiting a while for those remakes, 😫 the classic ac games deserve, it would be dope if more devs did this, get the remembered gems closer to a technical level they pictured back then
