Cool, but if I wanted to emulate it I would have already done so for free. I'd still buy it as my way of telling them people DO want Mega Man Legends games... but this' ll probably get cancelled.

I'm not bitter or anything

Guess what, you can buy that game! https://store.playstation.com/#!/en-us/games/the-misadventures-of-tron-bonne-(psone-classic)/cid=UP9000-NPUJ00896_00-0000000000000001

Dude the article even links to a previous Siliconera thing about why we haven't gotten Mega Man Legends. Either they had some licensed shit in the game, or part of the games were owned by somebody else, or one of the voice actors had some weird contract that they couldn't renew.

Stuff like this happens. Toejam and Earl stuff took forever to come back, there was that Genesis Poll that Sega held to greenlight a digital port that took YEARS before they smoothed over the licensing concerns, for some reason they also couldn't come to terms when trying to add TJ&E as characters in Sonic and Sega All-Stars Racing...I think the Strider games also have to have the original designer's copyright on them as well, I noticed that when the 2014 game came out that he was on the title screen despite having no involvement in the production.

Nihon Falcom: "...many titles enjoyed better sales volume on Steam then PlayStation."

I'm linking the Neogaf article because they have all the information worth reading. http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=1042423

This is pretty big news. It bodes well for the future of Nihon Falcom titles on Steam.

Nobody owns a Vita in North America because they hate good games and handhelds.

So...chances of TitS Third rises?

And there are PC versions of Zero and Ao....

XSeed and Falcom are best team up.

"Crap, our big mobile game idea flopped hard! SO LET'S FOCUS MORE ON MOBILE!"

Holy shit Level-5 I am so disappointed in you.

W-what, a Fallout 4 trailer?!

There's somethin' fishy goin' on around here. Doesn't help E3 isn't far off...

http://www.siliconera.com/2015/05/12/grandia-ii-remastered-pc-steam/ this is pretty cool. I mean there was a PC version already, but it wasn't on Steam.

http://www.siliconera.com/2015/05/12/dragon-quest-viii-announced-for-the-nintendo-3ds/ this is kind of unexpected, but I guess considering that they haven't made a normal Dragon Quest game since 8, an upgraded version makes sense. I'll actually get this, I didn't like the original because the battles were SO SLOW but having it portable would fix part of my issue in that I could be doing other things while playing.

That PC version was also very buggy. The Dreamcast version is the best version, so I'm glad they're using that one as the base for this new version.

An HD remake of .hack//G.U. games might be being teased.

ashdkajshdkajshd PLEASE LET IT BE SO!

Omg that would be great. b-but I'd prefer a remake of the first 4

Confession time, I actually never started the third game because I wanted to finish the Books of One Thousand or whatever they were called, but you had to grind the shit out of the motorcycle. A remake would be right up my goddamn alley if it came to PS4.

But this article is shit-tier and means nothing like most Japanese developer tweets.

If they do actually remake this series, I hope the case spines form a picture when they line up like the originals did.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=96hXamdILZE so this is Ray Gigant, a game by Experience, the dungeon crawler guys, published by Namco. It seems like another stab at making a cross between anime and RPGs, like that Time and Eternity game. This just makes me think of how AMAZING a remake of Phantasy Star IV in this style would be.

Too bad the remakes of the first two Phantasy Star games didn't do so well so Sega is not interested in doing any more.

I remember wanting to play this a couple years ago and then completely forgetting about it.

Yeah, it was impressive when it was first shown off but now the MMO market is even more congested which is kinda difficult to believe.

We're getting an upgraded version of the Kingdom Hearts browser game, KH Chi, over in NA soon for smartphones called Unchained X(Chi), so that's pretty cool. I feel like this is late news by now but you know.

http://www.siliconera.com/2015/05/25/new-dengeki-bunko-fighting-climax-game-planned-for-this-summer/ I'm glad they're supporting this. Some people turned their nose up at it because the commands are almost universal, thinking it made the game easy, but hey, that's where Melty Blood started.

Is that the game where I can beat the shit out of Kirito and Mahouka characters? Because if it is, I want it.

It's the game where you can play as Shizuo and yell a lot.

Today's patch for BF4 tried (because its DICE, after all) to address headglitching (i.e. bullets fire from your eyes instead of your gun barrel). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IcyGV7Ss-fY

So basically, this is actually really fucking cool and a massive leap for games that generally aren't known as semi-simulations like ARMA, but the playerbase is FUCKING STUPID and think that DICE broke the game again, right?


PS[A] everybody Akiba's Trip is out on PC. I can't vouch for the PC port though, it doesn't run great on my machine and during cutscenes where in-engine stuff is used as the background, the background flashes like there's a white strobe light going off. Could just be the fact that I never update my drivers but whatevs.

I played RE Revelations HD on it recently and it looked fucking gorgeous. I just don't have the disk space to keep games installed though.
