Games, Games, GAMES!! (Besides iDOLM@STER, of course XD)

I agree. Plus it's way more balanced and skill oriented than Modern Warfare 2.

All the cool people use M1A1 Thompsons  and the M95 Anti-Material Sniper Rifle.

Apparently, there's going to be a new Ace Combat game for both the Xbox 360 and PS3.

This and the new Front Mission game are two seemingly revamped games that I'm just wondering how they'll turn out in the end.

Okay, there's nothing seemingly about the new Front Mission Evolved revamp, the revamp is blatant and it's changed genres. The trailers make it seem like the action is a bit on the slow side, though.

Okay, the new Front Mission Evolved isn't seemingly revamped, it's totally revamped. The trailers make it seem like the action is a bit on the slow side, though.

Front Mission Evolved and Ace Combat Assault Horizon: as long as they don't drop the ball and have game mechanics that don't work really well, I'm game to accept changes.

You've just made my week. I had a Theory that after iM@S two was announced the new Ace Combat would show up and the best part is both consoles can play. 5 bucks says it comes out three months after iDOLM@STER 2

lol, I wouldn't take your bet....

Anyway, it would be great if it had DLC (although not so great considering what the prices may be). iDOLM@STER skins on attack helicopters, anyone?

You know Namco always milking the cash cow. I'm pretty sure they'll have iDOLM@STER DLC considering how well it sold in AC6. I'm guessing 400 MS points for iM@S DLC and 200 for anything else (ie AC4 and AC6 DLC)

Makes sense.

Yeah, I want them to turn out well, it's just when you start experimenting with new stuff, it usually takes a game to figure out what works and what doesn't. Doesn't mean it can't still be a fun little romp, just if it goes over well enough so that another is made, expect it to be a lot better. ^^

Things do get stale after a while, though, and you eventually have to tweak your formula so a series can keep going, so I'm not going to say this is a bad thing, because the other thing that could mean is I want more of the same. Sometimes that's not that good.

As for DLC... if there's around 13 or so planes, I expect skins for every one of them. ^^

I can see what you mean, and it's a fine balance that game developers, designers, etc. have to figure out.

Unfortunately, if those changes don't go over well with game reviewers and sales, there might not be a next time. And that makes companies hesitant to tweak a winning formula to stay fresh. As they say, "Why fix something that isn't broken?"

About the DLC, I'm pretty sure there's going to be more than 13 planes, and with helicopters thrown into the mix....

I didn't know Starcraft 2 can be this weird! Can its map editor be this powerful!?

Hey check this out if you go to the new site for Ace Combat Assault Horizon website and connect using your facebook they'll insert your facebook friends names and pics at random spots in the trailer. When i did it It ended up puting Blake, Overlord, Taco and, Digi's names in the dramatic dogfight sequence. http://acecombatassaulthorizon.namcobandaigames.eu/

After beating Resistance, I decided to get Resistance 2 immediately. So awesum~

I'm not sure if anyone already posted this but they have a Black OP's multiplayer teaser trailer for anyone that's interested.

Exploding RC cars, balistic knives, deployable cameras.....

They went way too over the top on the equipment. My hopes on this game just went down a bit.

[Scotty]

I'm sure the cameras are objective-based.

Regardless, these things look so easy to abuse...def. renting this. Not buying.
