We're playing Monster Hunter on adhocParty right now! See the details on where to meet up with us right here, or watch the live UStream of us hunting above!
Super Puzzle Fighter II Turbo is one of our most beloved games. When we released Super Puzzle Fighter II Turbo HD Remix as a downloadable title we all remembered what a blast it was to play. We couldn't get enough of it here in the office, smack talk reverberating throughout the 3rd floor. We still love it and hope to get a few games in today!
In loving tribute the Capcom Store offers up this week's Deal Of the Week. Not one, not two, not even three, but four Super Puzzle Fighter II Turbo bags to carry all your stuff. These popular tote and messenger bags have been sold out everywhere for some time now. The Capcom Store has them and I'm offering them at incredible Deal Of the Week prices.
Next week I'll be skipping the Deal Of the Week but don't despair. Instead I'll have a 4 day Black Friday through Cyber Monday deal you won't want to miss.
The Super Puzzle Fighter II Turbo tote and messenger bags will go back to their everyday low price next Friday so don't wait. They make great gifts!
Challenge Quest09 for Monster Hunter Freedom Unite is live for your downloading pleasure. There's a whole pack of Velociprey just waiting to be slain. Easy right? Well, not exactly... There's something a tad bigger, faster, and meaner than Velociprey in the arena. I won't spoil it for you, so go download the quest, and be sure to get your stamina maxed out since you'll be running for your life most of this quest.
Challenge Quest09
"I've got a special quest for you today! Your target: the pack of Velociprey waiting for you at the Great Arena. But! Those guys are small compared to the other monster that awaits!"
Monsters: 50 Velociprey
Area: Great Arena (Day)
Rank: Upper Class (HR 7 Or Above Only)
Reward: 12,000z
Yuffie's MHFU DLC thread in the forums has all the previous quests and stuff you might have missed out on, so go read up on it. And don't forget that we're playing some Monster Hunter today with you on adhocParty.
With adhocParty out on the PS3, it's time to load up Monster Hunter Freedom Unite on the PSP and start some hunting parties. We'll be doing just that today at around 3:00pm PST. Look for PSN ID: "Snow_Infernus" in adhocParty room A8. The game will also be streaming live via our UStream PAC Channel, so tune in around 3 for some hunting goodness.
Hope you've all been keeping up with your assignments! We're getting close to the end of REmake and this assignment will take you 3/4 of the way through the game.
Assignment #3
Play all the way through until you get to the lab by using the wolf and eagle medals. (Just after a major boss fight).
As incentive, I'll be randomly choosing a person that participates in our discussions to get some random RE swag (this will happen after the REmake game club is finished).
In addition, if you participate in our weekly discussions in the forums, you will get 20 Unity points for that week. If you send me a question via PM that we could use for our daily discussion questions, it will net you 75 Unity points!
This new vid has sneak peeks of the mysterious "Watchers" that Will is up against in Dark Void.
If you watch closely, you'll find a bunch of various Watcher types shown here, from giant-slug sized to... well, just GIANT. Dark Void lands 1/19/10, but you can preorder here right now.
Our Japanese SFIV website and blog have been update-ified. The website has some more new portraits of El Fuerte, Rufus, and Dan in the new SSFIV pencil-style. Check out the high-res files here.
The blog has a few notes about the Japanese National tournament (translation courtesy of Shoryuken.com's Azrael), but the real fun is the cropped screenshot of Chun-Li catching some ink-splatter from... who?
As I mentioned, we'll know more very soon :)
I love BoingBoing -- I've been following the evolution of this future-perfect media monster since I first ran across the original black & white zine in a sci-fi bookstore in the late 80s. The BB crew regularly explore the weird edge of science and technology, bringing back reports of robots that play Rock Band better than you do, guides to surviving the imminent and inevitable zombie apocalypse and photo montages of deer-butt faces.
Whilst crawling along the outer edges of the internet (it's a Mondo world out there in cyberspace, after all), BoingBoing ran across this story from the Fortean Times about "Aeronauts of the Future," strange sightings of flying dudes that seem... familiar. Brad Pitt, I mean, Will would be right at home amongst these various winged men and hovering platforms. Also, am I the only person who actually remembers seeing the flying platform to the right on That's Incredible?
Earlier this week Seth stopped by G4TV to give some hands on time with Super SFIV to the XPlay crew. Watch the interview with Seth and new gameplay above. He talks about all the things in Super you're dying to know. Well, all except more characters, but he does say that info on that is coming soon...
Resident Evil 2 is re-launching today as a digital download to the PS3 and PSP. We're talking the entirety of Raccoon City, Umbrella, and more, downloadable and playable on your Sony console of choice. Imagine if we had the ability to take all awesome things and make them downloadable, instead of just awesome Capcom games.
For quite some time, Resident Evil 2 was the Survival Horror genre. It brought chills to my spine, just like it brought chills to the spines of many others (Big shout-out to Mike for his 3-part RE2 recap here, here and here).
The story of this game belongs in a museum. Zombies try to kill you, then you meet Ada Wong, there are some quite spacious sewers involved, Umbrella being evil, Rebecca in a basketball uniform, and then an unmentionably tense ending. Release date be damned, this game almost made my top 10 releases for the decade.
If you're excited about Resident Evil: The Darkside Chronicles, but are Wii-deprived, know this: one of the best parts of that game is the inclusion of scenes from Resident Evil 2. You know what other game includes scenes from RE2? RE2. Download it.
