Tokyo Game Show

[Akira]

Oh its gorgeous. Better than any of the new DBZ games. The cinematic special moves are fantastic, and there's a great variety of transformation and side character assist attacks. You get two guys who know what they're doing playing the game, and it looks just like you're watching the show.

so that's it?

no big announcements?
(besides Tekken 6 on the 360)

sigh...
that was a disappointment

[Eusis]

so that's it?

no big announcements?

NO MORE HEROES 2 MOTHER FUCKER. Plus another Suda 51 game announced for the US!

Though there was also that Level 5 digital distribution PC/console thing, but I think that was so out of the blue and improbable it failed to process for anyone.

I really do think the heads at L5 have gone batshit insane. The Phantom tried this and immediately became the laughing stock of the industry. While digital delivery of content is the wave of the future (as in, our current time proceeding forward), a stand-alone device to ship said entertainment in and out of one's home is not a particularly good idea. The big three console wonderworkers have nailed down their own stores in town and your mom-and-pop setup simply isn't going to be competition. Fodder perhaps, like pylons and pedestrians are to drives with unchecked amounts of road rage, but not competition.

The other side of this is that their marketing and track record don't exactly inspire confidence. "ROID" reminds me a little too much of haemorrhoids or steroids, but very little of "droids", the latter of which is essentially the angle they want but will not achieve. While I do love some of what L5 does, there are games like Dark Cloud and Rogue Galaxy which are simply awful.
