• Stop-motion Metroidvania The Swapper due this month on Steam

• SuperSoupy 17/05/2013

  Not stop-motion. But a VERY cool-looking game nonetheless. Reply 0

• Steam introduces virtual trading card system

• SuperSoupy 16/05/2013

  I dug out my Dreamcast the other day for a quick go, and I was actually surprised that to start a game I simply pressed the 'ON' button. To quit, I turned the console 'OFF'.
  
  There was no login window, no dashboard scrolling around, no systematic updates, profiles, beta invites, DRM verification, waiting to cloud sync before starting, or anything else. I simply played my game, and it was FANTASTIC.
  
  I'm all for advancement in modern tech, and I'm all for Vavle's work in bringing us closer together, but do we REALLY NEED this?
  
  I think that it's just going to be another way of delaying your real game, or becoming another distraction. Reply -1

• Nvidia's Project Shield to cost $349 in North America

• SuperSoupy 14/05/2013

  $349 for a controller with a little screen on it? A controller that's designed to play Android games, that themselves weren't designed to be played with a controller!?

• Ace Attorney 5 will be an eShop-only offering

• SuperSoupy 14/05/2013

  @Silent-Hal Agreed.
  
  Digital distribution SHOULD = lower price. But have you seen the WiiU's online store? Mario is still like £50!!!
  
  Unfortunately I can't see the pricing formula changing on 3DS titles :-( Reply +6

• Road Redemption meets its Kickstarter goal with two days to go

  :-O.
  
  I didn't even know this was a thing! Road rash was awesome!!

• Aliens: Colonial Marines managed 1.31 million sales

• SuperSoupy 10/05/2013

  @blackbox2111 Can't blame them. Colonial Marines was hyped up as a brilliant return to form for the Aliens franchise before it was released. Hence all those understandable pre-orders for it.
  
  And hence the misleading advertisement lawsuit Sega now faces. Although it sounds like they made enough money to pay it off and go unpunished :-( Reply +7

• Aliens: Colonial Marines co-developer TimeGate Studios has been shuttered - report

• SuperSoupy 10/05/2013

  Something's not adding up. As bad as Colonial Marines was, didn't it make a shit-ton of money? It was, at one point, this year's biggest seller.
  
  ...so how are GearBox doing? Reply +3

• Suda51 blames publisher problems for low game sales

• SuperSoupy 03/05/2013

  I don't think it's the publisher's fault. They simply try and market the game to as many people as possible, which they did a good job of.
  
  But when the developer made a game that only caters to a VERY specific (and limited) audience, you're obviously only going to get sales from that target market.
  
  There's a lot of developers that can make a 'unique' game. But making a 'unique' game that will appeal to a mass market, is what elevates developers that consider themselves 'auteurs' to a new level.
  
  As much as fanboys will cry otherwise, Suda simply hasn't broken that mould yet. Reply +4

• Warner Bros. and 5th Cell targeted by Keyboard Cat, Nyan Cat lawsuit

• SuperSoupy 02/05/2013

  The whole idea of trademarking an internet meme is ridiculous. It is simply taking trademarking too far.
  
  Do you think that whoever made the first Harlem Shake video, should get money every time someone else puts up a harlem shake video? Heeeeel NO!
  
  If I were to make an origami papercraft camel, and make a papercraft hat for it, then make a youtube video that's 20 seconds long, that doesn't mean I have exclusive right to the use of a papercraft camel wearing a paper hat. THAT'S JUST STUPID.
  
  Just like these claims. Reply 0

• Molyneux signals end to Curiosity - and we could find out what's inside the cube on the day of the next Xbox reveal

• SuperSoupy 01/05/2013

  It's hope. With Molyneux calling us all bums and not to spend it all at once. Called it.

  If he does make the game, I'd imagine that he'll need ECCOder or two. Reply +4

• Wii U Virtual Console goes live in Europe tomorrow

• SuperSoupy 26/04/2013

  "If you bought the game originally on Wii it costs 99p to re-download a NES game again and £1.49 for a SNES game."
  
  How do you get this to work?

• Nintendo ditches E3 press conference in favour of behind-closed-doors events

• SuperSoupy 25/04/2013

  Good.
  
  With E3 presentations becoming more and more convoluted and overblown each year, it makes sense to try something new that actually focuses on the games, rather than the spectacle.
  
  And the less street dancers, and presenters making truly cringe-worthy attempts at humour on stage, the better for the whole industry. Reply -5

• Team Fortress 2 played on omnidirectional treadmill and Oculus Rift

• SuperSoupy 19/04/2013

  It will be a fad if the only thing it is used for is FPS games.
  
  If you can just walk around and explore, then games like 'Dear Esther' would be a much more fitting game for such a device.
  
  Games like that, coupled with this treadmill (and the Rift), will open up a whole new genre of accessible games that hasn't been seen since the Wii launched.

  "UK customers can currently get an extra 25 per cent trade-in value when used against Nintendo eShop games"
  
  How does this work then? Does it mean you get money off digital downloads when using in-store credit. Or is there actually some way to trade-in digital titles? Reply 0

• Injustice: Gods Among Us review

• SuperSoupy 19/04/2013

  Looks good, but I'm tempted to just do what I did with Mortal Kombat...
  
  ...which is wait until next year when the 'komplete' edition comes out: that being the full game with all the dlc, for half the price. Reply +8
