Hoo boy, last post was in April. Anyway I’ve been occupying myself with the usual things I do and now am an orang belt in Karate (Gonna rank up to 6th Kyu next saturday).
Anyhoo, E3 is over now and I’ve been following the games I’m looking forward to. You’ve got Uncharted 3, Playstation Vita, Tekken Blood Vengeance, Wii U etc. Damn O_O I was more interested in the Capcom games coming soon. You’ve got Street Fighter X Tekken updates, trailers, new characters plus Cole McGrath from the Sony franchise InFamous is going to be in the PS3 and Vita versions as an exclusive character. This just blew my mind! I mean, doesn’t he just seem……..out of place? I downloaded InFamous 1 from the PSN (£0.00 due to the PSN hack and they were giving out free games) and a few days ago I was playing and I thought to myself “This guy will be going up against the likes of Ryu, Ken, Kazuya, Chun-Li, Guile etc.”
In other Capcom franchises they are bringing out Street Fighter III 3rd Strike: Online Edition for PS3 and 360. Get hype!
In other Capcom news, a new DmC trailer from E3 was released.
My honest thoughts was that it was nothing special as I was expecting more. Here are things I would’ve liked to see:
- New Characters. A new female lead perhaps? Maybe a small hint at Vergil’s return?
- Cutscenes. When there’s a new game coming out, the first initial trailer usually shows a part of the beginning cutscene in with a few lines that will be in the game. Whether it’s a new game or sequel, people expect the next trailer to show us more. Let’s take Resident Evil 5 for example, the first trailer showed us where the game will be set, showed us Chris Redfield will be returning, next trailer we were shown more. Here all NT had was a gameplay trailer, no taste of cutscenes, or new characters. But I think they’ll show more at this year’s TGS.
I’m following DmC carefully and will reserve judgment when a demo comes out to decide whether to buy the game or pass it up. It does have potential, and could turn out good if they do it right. I also find it sad that his new ‘Devil Trigger’ is just his hair turning white + a temporary power up, what is he a Super Saiyan now?
Personally, there was no damn point to set this before DMC3. Us fans want to know more about Nero and it’s Capcom just forgot about him. What do we need to explore in a prequel? We all know how Dante became who he is and how his DMC office came to be etc.
Well, that’s all I wanna talk about today. I may post some other things tomorrow.
