Chatterbox: Video Games

Let's not turn this thread into a hatefest against publishers. EA has racked up a lot of hate but still manages to put out stuff that people like.

Any new games yall excited bout? Me its Titanfall. Has the coolest Excuse Plot I seen in a while. ^-^ . I love excuse plots. I mean look at Bad Dudes. Mario got nothing on this excuse plot.

I'm looking forward to the release of the new Assassin's Creed titles (Unity and Comet) later this year or next, and the Warlords of Draenor expansion for World Of Warcraft.

I'm looking forward to The Legend Of Heroes: Trails in the Sky, the First and Second Chapters.

Not sure there's anything else I'm currently looking forward to. Everything else on my wishlist is something that's already been released, I think.

Well, besides the two kickstarter things that I've backed that are coming out this year. Dysfunctional Systems episode 2, and Legend Of Iya.

I'm looking forward to Theatrhythm Final Fantasy: Curtain Call (hoping that it'll be localized...), Monolith Soft's new game, and the new Super Smash Bros.

All this Super Smash bros hype makes me cry I don't have a Nintendo Wii U. :'|

Let's see...Tomodachi Life seems fun and Danganronpa 2 is definitely a hype. I guess there's also Persona Q and Persona: Dancing All Night but those will be out later for the West.

Looking forward to Sonic Boom.

And, uh...

Huh, I guess that's it.

I hope NES Remix 2 focuses more on the "remix" aspect and less on just playing the games. I'll say this: it has a better collection of games than the first one. The first one had a really bad selection.

I also wish it progressed faster, but I doubt they'll do that in the sequel.

I also am hype for the order: 1886

Bayonetta 2, The Order, Smash Bros, Whatever new IP's sony first parties have cooking up.

Oh yeah, forgot about Smash.

Four games I'm hyped for: Smash 4, Clockwork Empires, The Binding Of Isaac: Rebirth, and Mewgenics.

Add me to the list of people waiting for Super Smash Bros. U. Megaman's Final Smash is just....

Also Bayonetta 2.

NES Remix 2 does more creative and actual notable things with the "Remixes"...so its better in that aspect.

Smash, The Evil Within, Metal Gear Solid 5 and the Android-version of Shin Megami Tensei.

What is NES Remix?

It's a downloadable Wii U game that, well, remixes various NES games. It has various challenges like completing a level of Super Mario Bros while Mario is constantly running, or Excitebike while only being able to see a small area around you. I guess it also has what are basically the normal games, but with specific timed goals provided like getting 3000 points with the Hammer in Donkey Kong.

I didn't get the first one, but I'm interested in trying the second one when it comes out later this month.

Civilization: Beyond Earth announced for fall of this year.

Speaking of Civilization... Which games does Firaxis (and by extension Sid Meier) own the rights to at the moment? I understand that the rights to the Civilization franchise now belong to Firaxis' new parent company, Take-Two.

Oh, And seconding The Evil Within, but I also hope to get Kirby Triple Deluxe when it comes out ion may, as it's my Birthday month.

Watch Dogs, Civilization: Beyond Earth and Arkham Knight.

So, I'm watching a playthrough of Time Crisis 3's Alicia scenario on Youtube.

... Why the hell did she need VSSE's help again? I mean, the girl took on a freaking tank on her lonesome, with nothing but an infinite-ammo handgun, a 200-round machine, a 30-round shotgun, and a couple of grenades! A tank! And has shown herself to be an accomplished counter-sniper in several stages, to boot! She's essentially doing what it takes VSSE two agents to do!

... Only those? Man, I pity Sid Meier. Must be not easy, working on a franchise that by all rights is his creation, and yet not having legal ownership over it at all.

I think that was his list of "games you're hyped for". (Smash 4, Mario Kart 8, Transistor, and Civilization: Beyond Earth, by the way.)

Firaxis, from the looks of it, has Civilization and most of the other games with Sid Meier's name, sans Alpha Centauri— so Pirates!, Railroads, Ace Patrol, etc.— and X-COM: Enemy Unknown.

There's a difference between being tasked with developing a game (franchise) by your parent company and having legal ownership over that game (franchise) independently of said parent company. Which of those two applies to those games?
