Atlus sends mystery image, asks '???'

Dec 24th 2008 1:10PM (Joystiq)So, considering I've had a hard three months of unemployment (My own Xmas miracle happened and I've found myself with two jobs just the week before Xmas), I'd give this to myself as my own "From Santa, To Peter" gift.

'Bob's Game' dev confines self in Nintendo protest
Dec 22nd 2008 2:00PM (Joystiq)Teasing aside, I do side with Bob on the issue that Nintendo didn't meet the deadline for approval or rejection. I could care less if his game was made or not, but they did have an obligation to give him an answer by a set date.
I'd more suggest going through legal channels, since such a deadline would've been part of a legally binding form he would have signed for the approval process, and Nintendo wouldn't have many worthwhile excuses for avoiding the stipulations of their own contracts. But this means money, so I guess Bob had issues there.
All I can say is that if things end up in his favor, he better have produced a fantastic game, or the community will jump on him, as we tend to do in these underdog cases where the drama leads us to idolize the victim and then we later feel cheated when the final product is not the second coming our imaginations have made it out to be. (see: Haze, Space Giraffe, Too Human, etc.)
See Burnout's Jansen 88 Special fly into action
Dec 22nd 2008 12:48PM (Joystiq)The only thing I'm a bit anxious about is the possibility that they'll eventually pack all the paid DLC together in one Value Pack with a discount price (been seeing this often in the PS3 Store). But knowing me, zipping around in movie themed cars will take immediate priority over sale prices.
Minter: Microsoft 'sitting on' nearly finished Gridrunner for XBLA
Dec 16th 2008 4:25PM (Joystiq)The concept was sound, and cool, but the design was just hideous and the sort of thing you'd think an intellectual game designer like himself would avoid.
When a player dislikes game, not because it's "too hard", "dull" or "not my thing", but because it's nearly impossible to discern what anything on the screen is at any point in time, that's the fault of the developers, not the public.

Dec 8th 2008 12:21PM (Joystiq)But on the 360? I dunno, it sounds a little hard to image the gameplay on an analogue pad.
