Resident Evil: Revelations will be the first Resident Evil game with a Japanese dub (but only for the Japanese version).

Fun Fact: The first game in the Resident Evil series was originally going to have Japanese voice acting at one point, but Mikami wasn't satisfied with the Japanese voice overs; so he had to make the games have only English voices.

EDIT: Simpsons Arcade Game heading to consoles?

Dead Rising 3 in development?
Looks like Capcom wants to rape us with more of our money...

But on the other hand... It looks like it will be promising since it's Dead Rising and all.

Some interview involving Takashi "Piston" Nishiyama, current head of DIMPS (SF4 co-developer), and one of the brains behind Street Fighter, and most SNK fighters like KOF, Fatal Fury and Art of Fighting.

That was quite a nice interview, definitively worth the read.

Hmm ... is this supposed to be a bad game ? Because, at least from an action point of view, its looking great.

Devil May Cry 5 The Secret Gameplay Trailer [HD]

Hmm ... is this supposed to be a bad game ? Because, at least from an action point of view, its looking great.

I made the mistake of buying Heavenly Sword and renting Enslaved thinking they would have fun combat, you're not going to fool me a 3rd time with your fancy trailers Ninja Theory! Also the game running at only 30 frames per second instead of the 60 like the others does show. I also heard the game has less variety of weapons (according to gamespot preview), that the weapons are limited to 3 and each one are tied to his human, demon, and angel form, which further makes it a step back from DMC3 (a issue with Nero is DMC4) by less variety.

Also Crim the general reason this game is getting so much hate isn't really the combat, it's the designs and the guys making it really not knowing the lore. You know, Dante is half demon and half human, yet in this game he now has a angel form (that somes messed up genetics logic right there), when it supposadly takes place before the previous 4 and them trying to force it into previous DMC canon while also being a reboot.

The main reason for the hate Crim should be obvious though. They took a franchise that is very Japanese in the over the top nature of its cutscenes, combat, and characters, and then, well as Capcom put it, "Westernized it." Inafune said a little bit before he left Capcom that DMC was a series populsr in Japan but they wanted to make it appeal to Westerners, which was the idea for the next DMC game, then the new DMC was announced sometime later.

There was a interview with Capcom in which they openly admitted they told Ninja Theory to make designs that they (Capcom) wouldn't like since they felt that would help make the DMC series appeal to Westerners. It's just missing that style that made DMC, you know, DMC, now it's just kind of a Western action game that mimmicks DMC. It also doesn't help that Ninja Theory come off as huge d-bags in interviews (especially with blatant insults to Kamiya a few times), that keep telling fans they know what fans want more than fans want. The 30 frames per second gameplay, opposed to 60, also didn't go over to well with people either. Plus the fact Ninja Theory's games have not really been that great and had very shallow combat that put graphics, story, and audio above gameplay and polish doesn't really make most people optimistic.

Or the short version, Ninja Theory took the soul out of what made DMC what it is, which didn't go over well with fans.

I have a feeling that Metal Gear Rising is going to be a better action game than either DmC or Ninja Gaiden 3. The fact that DmC doesn't even hit 60 FPS should tell you everything you need to know really, it's bad enough that most games in general favor graphical bells and whistles over a smooth framerate but in a game like this it's just unacceptable.

[Mai~Crimsonheart]

Hmm ....

Something does feel missing from DMC, and i was so against it earlier. le sigh ... i see your point. God ! only 3 weapons ??

Also, was heavenly sword that bad ?? i only watched the game play, and it was fine.

Yeah, I was a little bit trolling but... seriously I'd be down for more Onimusha, always loved that series, lol.

That's what I said, then I bought the game, I didn't think that anymore. Control response just felt stiff and slow compared to most other action games, and the game is hilariously easy (then Enslaved was even easier). Obviously control response and smoothness of the combat don't really come off in trailers, as long as the animations are decent quality its easy to make a game look amazing, and that's what Ninja Theory does. Hell Enslaved the platforming looked fun, then when you actually played it the platforming turned out to be you hitting the jump button and the game basically does the platforming for you. ........
