Is that Lulzsec again? Who's stopping these dickbags?

I hope there is a retail PC version, and without that Steam DRM crap. I hope there's a Steam version, without that "Insert DVD into disc drive" crap. There is crap, and intrusive crap. Steam is the latter. How is Steam intrusive apart from logging in, which is to be expected of an online gaming net...

I don't get the excitement about the PC version. Like I'm not against the game being available to more people, but it seems like people are really eager for there to be a PC version this time around. No one cared if there was a PC version of Unleashed. Are you guys just not on board with current-ge...

I do hope they release this digitally, but not in the claim-they-have-when-they-flagrantly-have-not way of releasing Colours' soundtrack on iTunes.

I really hope we see that.

Hold your horses, it could still turn out be bollocks yet.

While having an AI/Player 2 Tails tagging along Sonic 2 style would be a nice addition, I think the 2.5D twistiness of the classic stages would make it impossible for the camera to work.

I could understand if EA were opening a chain of stores across all their titles - considering they publish a sizable chunk of games on store shelves today - but a chain dedicated entirely to EA sports baffles me. They only release new games for each series once a year, right? So what are the shelves...

Perhaps we should have one, condensed dream thread. I feel the need to tell you all about the dream where I explained dihybrid inheritance to a Gorilla.

Thats omochao. In the footage they showed at sonic boom, he was present in greenhill zone as a guide as well. Take that as you will. I know it's the tiniest thing to get pissed off about, but seriously, Omochao is one of the most embarrassingly obnoxious characters to come out of the franchise. I'd...

Is that somebody's hack or could you actually buy that monster in the shops?

Faith restored.

In other news, the 3DS Virtual Console has an explicit load/save savestate feature, so you can fix mistakes whenever you want! Great! If only they'd give the Wii VC that, then it would feel like an actual competent emulator. Have Nintendo made any public statement about the battery life of the Wiiu...

Well, in Nintendo's example of being able to use the console whilst somebody is watching TV, it'd be nice to play it somewhere quieter or less busy. For example, using it in a bedroom whilst the console is in the living room.

Gak, that's poor. Where did you find that?

...plus their apparent inability to make a dent in the exploding tablet/smartphone industries. I'm guessing that Xbox Live is going to be their strongest asset. It's a pity that this hasn't really worked out for them with Windows Phone 7, which is arguably the closest we're going to get to an Xbox ...

The Wiiu, everybody.

The way I scan any form of lineart is to use a scanner, then use the threshold tool to separate it into white and black, which also has the effect of adding aliased edges. As an added bonus, it allows colouring with a fill can tool. The end result looks pretty much the same as here (except my linear...

Thanks for the link.

That looks incredible. I love the fluidity of the visuals and the attention to detail, it looks just like a playable cartoon. Why am I so excited for this? I don't even own a console it's on.

Gak, GameTrailers just isn't serving up the video. At least it'll be on Youtube within the hour. And sweet jesus, from the stills I can find, it looks oh so very very good. Another reason I need to buy a Playstation.

Didn't the DSi have this? I'd be lying to claim I'd used it, but my second-hand information* indicates that it sucked balls.

*Again, be wary of speaking out of arse.

This is apparently stolen from the alt-text of an xkcd comic , but I had it brought to my attention today in my website's IRC channel, and it's pretty damned cool if you ask me. 1) Choose any Wikipedia page, at random. 2) Click the first link on the page that isn't in brackets or italics. 3) Repeat ...

Was a bit slow for my liking. Didn't enjoy it as much as that 3D Sonic 2 ending that was going around a few years back.

With raw memories of those tilt controls, that's not necessarily a bad thing. That said, I do mean to finish it one day. Especially if Night Palace is as pretty as P.P.A. claims.

That's almost as jarring a twist as Pirates II, a film my brother made me watch. After 10 minutes of a plot I was actually getting in to, it suddenly and without warning degenerated into pornography.

Also, Welcome.

Sonic Generations will be available for the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, Nintendo 3DS in November 2011.

Bastards! Looks like the PC release hopes are gone.
