BlazJew is really fucking jew.

When the stick transformed, I was totally watching it frame by frame to see if it really did turn into a dreidel or if I was just imagining things.

[BagLunch]

Speaking of dreidels:

"Dreidel is now a competitive sport being played in North America. Major League Dreidel (MLD), founded in New York City in 2007, hosts dreidel tournaments during the holiday of Hanukkah. In MLD tournaments the player with the longest Time of Spin (TOS) is the winner. MLD is played on a Spinagogue, the official spinning stadium of Major League Dreidel. Pamskee is the 2007 MLD Champion. Virtual Dreidel is the 2008 MLD Champion [5]. In 2009, Major League Dreidel launched a game version of the Spinagogue and MLD tournaments and original games are now being played around the country during Hanukkah[6].

In December, 2009, Good Morning America published a story on Dreidel Renaissance due to the popularity of dreidel on the rise.[7] Several new dreidel games have come out on the market since 2007 including No Limit Texas Dreidel[8], a cross between traditional dreidel and Texas Hold'em poker, invented by a new Judaica company called ModernTribe.[9]"

"Spinagogue" is the most deliciously funny word I have heard in quite a while. It sounds like a place where DJs would compete while ecstatic onlookers ghost ride their whips.

OH FUCK, Ico and Shadow of Colossus remake confirmed but both PS3 exclusive? Nigel you must fly to Tokyo Game Show to retrieve more information for me.

[Saru Kada]

oh damn that's awesome. they were both amazing games

also lol @ bison di britannia/3 times faster than a regular bison

[Superking™]

OH FUCK, Ico and Shadow of Colossus remake confirmed but both PS3 exclusive? Nigel you must fly to Tokyo Game Show to retrieve more information for me.

Why would ICO and SotC not be PS3 exclusive? Considering those are Sony games made in-house, it's like being surprised that the next Mario game is exclusive to a Nintendo platform.

Anyway some neat, okay, and then loloworthy Capcom news from TGS news.

Neat: Capcom buys Blue Castle Games, apparently BCG will be renamed Capcom Studio Vancouver. But the last time Capcom had Western studios they were either shut-down (Maximo/FFStreetwise devs) or sold off to Take-two (Angel Studios who were rebranded Rockstar San Diego, yes Red Dead Revolver was originally a Capcom game, Akira Yasuda of Street Fighter II and King Gainer fame did the original character designs for James Marsden and friends). Although with DR2, BCG should be fine with Inafune with its new overlord, and hopefully should not expect the same fate as that US Capcom Production Studio (shitcanned) or being sold to Take-2 (which is almost the same as being shitcanned).

Decent: Capcom teams up with CCC2 to make Asura's Wrath, looks like Capcom's take on the GoW style action game. Runs on UE3 so looks like CCC2's Naruto engine stays with Naruto. trailer: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pGw3hKkDmD8

lmao: Capcom gives Devil May Cry over to LOL Ninja Theory, game is retitled DMC, and Dante is now brought up to modern fashion and style as per NT's Tameem I forget his last name:

lololololol Twilight Dante.

edit: video for lolDMC http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2P59MKUZEM0

edit again: in non Capcom news, Ninjadog Hayashi and Koei-Tecmo announce NG3 behind closed doors at TGS. And continuing with them, Koei's PS3 Ni-Oh game apparently still exists and Team Ninja is helping out Koei with the combat portion now.

edit again again: Grasshopper Manufacture/Shinji Mikami's EA game is Shadows of the Damned: http://www.ea.com/shadows-of-the-damned/videos/announcement-trailer

[sweetvids]

New DMC looks pretty shitty not gonna lie. Ninja Theory? Fucken shitty game studio.

Also shit, hope there's bro picture taking. http://kotaku.com/5638549/frank-west-returns-in-new-dead-rising-title

[Superking™]

Taken from gaf, the new Dante is apparently based on Ninja Theory's own Tameem Antoniades.

lolololol

[nagai]

new dmc looks like total shit

[sweetvids]

Indeed. Very disappointing. DR2 and Shadows of the Damned look pretty sweet though. GARCIA!!!!!!!!!!!1

[Coren]

I'm mad about the new DMC screens; wtf happened to dante? He looks like a gritty edward.

Remember the last time they tried to make dante a gritty angst-driven anti-hero, it was called DMC2, and it was TERRIBLE.

:psyduck: :psyduck: :psyduck: :psyduck: :psyduck: :psyduck: :psyduck: :psyduck: :psyduck:

[ghostgoodboy]

Man it's all about targeting potential bitches' market. I believe that, at some point of the time, the Director of DMC went to one of those twilight movies and saw how much success it has pulled off on ecstasy dreaming girls, and decided to make EdwardTe. But I still think it still look pretty awesome in the trailer, smoke stamp on these pseudo-robot like creatures goring black bloods, that seems to be more futuristic? and the sloppy Dante characteristic sort of created a jump from the previous titles.

Shadows of the Damned might end up as a terrible game as to my burning-games-that-looked-good-but-actually-bad experience.

Asura's Wrath is a must get whatsoever.

[BagLunch]

Devil Mary-Sue Cry

Shadows of the Damned looks largely uninspiring except for the vending machine that says ASSASSIN on it. Grasshopper has one of the most creative audio teams around, but the trailer didn't give off any of that. I'm not holding out much hope.

A thing about the first Red Dead Revolver is that the game was pretty much canned by Capcom. Rockstar picked it up and finished it off and published it, and then went on to make RDD some years later. Maybe after Capcom finds competence in BCG in making an openish world game, that they'd be happy to have a Western studio provide the development expertise on it?

[Cardinal_Sin]

seriously, what IS the last game capcom made in-house? I'm really willing to bet it's CFJ without looking at wiki.

[BagLunch]

I'd wager it's either a Monster Hunter or Lost Planet iteration.

[Superking™]

seriously, what IS the last game capcom made in-house? I'm really willing to bet it's CFJ without looking at wiki.

Most recent released game? Probably Lost Planet 2.

Monhun Nikki = From Software (lol)

Last Ranker = Image Epoch

SSF4 Old Challengers Edition = Dimps

MvC3 = eighting

Dead Rising 2 = Blue Cas..err Capcom Studio Vancouver

Actually since it's now Capcom Studio Vancouver, you can say Dead Rising 2 (Code Zero and West) are all made inhouse at Capcom. lol

Gabe, part of Capcom's then distribution/publishing deal with Rockstar in Japan was related to Capcom's sale of Angel Studios (and the then incomplete Red Dead Revolver) to Rockstar.
