    1UP :

    “[We’re] not planning any new content for Skate 1 … We didn’t want to go back and ask [people] for more money to get more shoes and shirts,” said EA Black Box Executive Producer Scott Blackwood in an Afterthoughts interview featured in latest issue of EGM. “That’s not how we wanted to enter this market.”

    Bionic Commando Trailer

    Capcom has just released the trailer for Bionic Commando, coming out for the Xbox 360, PS3 and PC.

    Tony Hawk’s Proving Ground Gets A…

    October 17, 2007 By: Sean Blue Category: News No Comments →

    5.5!

    1up:

    “The first few hours of Proving Ground are particularly sloppy. Skating around an ugly, unimaginative city in the midst of trying to keep up with a confusing career structure isn’t exactly the most convincing argument to stick with it. Why is Tony Hawk hanging out in grimy downtown Philly, giving tasks to my obnoxious character? Why aren’t these subobjectives scattered everywhere explained more clearly? Wait, you mean I can build a ramp in the street? And why the hell can’t I activate the Nail-the-Trick mode, the sole redeeming innovation of last year’s Project 8? That last one was an especially annoying sticky point, since you have to talk to a specific character and learn how to do it, even if you know full well it’s only a matter of clicking both analog sticks in. Same goes with the Nail-the-Manual and Nail-the-Grab features, which aren’t too difficult to wrap your head around; if you figure out how to do them ahead of time, there shouldn’t be anything stopping you from enjoying the fruits of your experimentation.”

    WOW.

    Kevin Levine On BioShock DLC

    October 16, 2007 By: Sean Blue Category: News No Comments →

    1UP:

    Levine says “a lot of plasmids got cut” during development, so you can imagine where his team might start mining for ideas on extending the BioShock experience in the months to come. There’s no news on when we’ll see the fruits of their efforts, but it’s good to know they haven’t forgotten those still enamored with Rapture.

    Yeahya

    A New Bionic Commando Coming to 360/PS3/PC

    October 15, 2007 By: Sean Blue Category: News No Comments →

     

    From Gamespot:

    Capcom has revealed to GameSpot that it is developing a new Bionic Commando game for the PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, and PC. Simply called Bionic Commando, the new game will bring back the original game’s hook (pun intended), with players able to use the main character’s bionic grappling arm not only to navigate levels but to take out enemies at close range, rappel down sheer surfaces, or toss objects (like cars) at enemies.

     Looks Cool.
