Kojima doesn't really have anything left to tell with Metal Gear. He will finally be free to make other games, and I'm positive that the rest of Kojima Productions would follow him; they're his own personal MSF.

 

Konami really did lose something here. When was the last time something exceptional came from Konami that wasn't Metal Gear? PES is an annual sports game that gets consistently beaten by FIFA,  Lords of Shadow 2 and Mirror of Fate weren't well received, Suikoden is dead, there was a new Contra teased a few years ago at E3 and we still don't have anything, Zone of the Enders HD flopped so 3 was canceled, Silent Hill was going nowhere until PT (which was created by Kojima, now will you look at that?) and I'm not even sure if they realize that they own Hudson Soft. Konami as a whole will be fine because of slot machines and things like that, but as a games company? It's not looking too great. They will probably make Rising 2 and remakes of the MSX Metal Gears before trying to outsource the series like they did with Silent Hill. They removed all likenesses that Kojima Productions had in MGS5, probably to distance him before they attempt to keep the series alive. Meanwhile Kojima will be in complete control over what he can make.

 

The thing that I want to know is when he leaves, does he get the rights to the Fox Engine? His studio was the one who created it since 2008, and he's always been the person showing it off, but was that on their own time or did Konami tell them to create it? I hope Kojima is the one who can use it, because it really is an impressive engine that would be wasted without an amazing game behind it.

 

I wish Kojima the best, and I hope that Konami learns to regret their decision.

 

 

I'm reading it over again, and it says that we won't here more of NX until next year. That fits with an average console lifespan of 5-6 years if it releases the year after it's announced. This isn't a third pillar: this is the next gen. The picture in the OP is about the membership service. That will still include Wii U and 3DS, like how PS+ is still on PS3 and Games for Gold on 360.

Depending on the release date it could be their hybrid system. X is used by Japanese companies as "Cross" (Think Street Fighter X Tekken and Project X Zone), so it could be that. However, a hybrid system should come out in 2017 or 2018 because that would fall in line with the expected end of the Wii U and (New) 3DS's lifecycle (Wii U being 5-6 years and 3DS being 6 to 7, which is similar to their other systems, such as the DS, Gameboy, and every home system). However, it's status as a 3rd Pillar implies an earlier release date, but a hybrid wouldn't be good for the Wii U. This is all very interesting, and I can't wait to hear more about it, probably at E3.

I just hope that by Smartphones and Tablets, they include Windows Phone, 8, and RT. So many apps skip out on the Windows Store it's not funny. I am speaking as the owner of a Surface Pro 3. I also hope that the PC section is an application and not just a website. If you're going to have an application for an external device, you have to make it available everywhere. I'm talking iOS, Android, Windows Phone, OSX, Windows 7, 8, 10, Linux, Chrome Store, and anywhere else possible. Get this out to anyone and everyone.

Holy crap thats an over exposed shot. Either that or the sun itself is touching down behind the dress.

I guess its supposed to be a gif, but nothings changing, so all I can see is the white/gold dress in front of the super nova.

It's supposed to be a picture. The whole thing is that the exposure is screwing with what color people see the dress.

who gives a crap it's a frikin dress you pansies.

I just felt like seeing what people saw it as, considering it exploded all over the internet in a few hours.

So this dress has managed to divide the Internet in a matter of hours. Some people think it's Blue and Black, while others see it as Gold and White. I decided to have a little fun with this and see what you guys think.

 

Here's a link if the picture if it's not working.

Not so much about me, but my cousins share the exact same story as I do: Paternal Triplets and 2 girls and 1 boy. We are also born almost exactly 6 months apart (June 15 versus December 20, which also happens to be my parents' anniversary).

I am a paternal triplet, with two girls and one boy (me). 3 eggs. 3 sperm. I was also born a month early. It' kind of a miracle that I was born with no problems.

Fake Confirmed

 

 

 

 

 

 

There is a new rumor going around for Smash Bros. It appears that Rayman may be DLC for for the game. There are pictures of him on the character select screen, his player portrait, and his unlock screen. What gives this more legitimacy, however, is a video of him on the character select screen. Do you guys think that this is real? Would you be excited to use Rayman in Smash Bros? Rayman does already have a model in the game, and this looks like a new render of him, so this may be legit.

 

Wait, so does it show up on the home screen and just not do anything?

Zelda Williams as Zelda pls

If this was exclusive to the New 3DS I would get one for this game. I was going to get it back when it was only going to have a single-player campaign, but now it has local and online multiplayer! It's one of the best looking 3DS games, AND it's in 60 FPS. I'm going to love this.

Oh yeah, the first zelda had mostly weapons upgrades, and very few actual movement upgrades.

I think it was the ladder, flute and the raft that were the only progression obstacles in the game found in dungeons.

I think I recall the 8th dungeon being a hugely popular one to go to early, if just to get the magic key. You could buy the candle, get a bomb drop, and loot the 8th dungeon in under like, 10 minutes?

That is true. You don't even have to finish the dungeon; you could just get the magic key to not worry about locked doors. It's fitting how the magic key is in the second to last dungeon in the game, but it is most useful if you break the dungeon order, which encourages exploring and experimenting. Players that go directly through the game in order have to worry about having enough keys (not usually an issue because keys aren't limited by dungeon as they are now), but if you decided to look around and try the 8th dungeon first you were rewarded with something incredibly useful. While the dungeons have a listed order, there was nothing restricting the player from going in whatever order they chose, and that's what I miss about Zelda. A Link Between Worlds was great about going through dungeons in any order, but all the major items required for dungeons were in Ravio's shop, so you didn't discover them (I haven't finished it, so if there's something that I'm missing I apologize). In the first game, you found items in dungeons, so you had that sense of discovery. It also happened to avoid the trope of using the item you get in a dungeon up until you go to the next one and get a new item by making the item you get not necessary in that dungeon. The boomerang was useful in the first dungeon, but it wasn't required for the boss. The first game got it right, but then later games somehow follow that trope (which I believe was set by Ocarina of Time. I'm not to sure; I haven't finished Link's Awakening or A Link to the Past). That's why I'm glad that Zelda U is looking towards the original for inspiration.

 

I kind of rambled on a bit, but I don't think I really got to talk about why I think Zelda 1 is the best one in detail. I'm just super excited for this game in the same way you're excited for Xenoblade (and this game, as we seem to have similar reasons for excitement).

If you looked on that same page, it was only claimed that it would be 50 for the idea that discs could be dual layered, but that would make the streaming of the data take longer, affecting the quality of the seamless world. Try harder next time.

Honestly I see myself exploring and doing whatever i may do before I even enter the first dungeon.. I may try to do them in reverse order if that is possible!

If they design this just like the first one, then you could probably do that. I've seen runs that did the second dungeon last, doing the first dungeon third, and much more.

This is either on the Xenoblade Engine or a brand new one, because I don't think that Nintendo has another engine that is made for large open worlds. Wind Waker is the closest thing to one that they have, but I'm pretty sure that it's not that because of the sheer size of Zelda U. Correct me if I'm wrong, but Xenoblade Chronicles is the largest game Nintendo has ever made (soon to be topped by X), and that engine is apparently unbreakable, so it's probably on that.

World design wise, it's definitely like Zelda 1 simply due to the sheer size and freedom you appear to have. That's why I think Zelda 1 is the best Zelda game (even though Wind Waker is my favorite). They give you so much freedom to do whatever you want. Want to do a sword less run? You can do that all the way until the final boss. Want to do the second dungeon last? Go for it. Before you enter the first dungeon, you can get a sword upgrade, shield upgrade, a tunic upgrade from the blue ring, the blue candle, bombs, and 3 extra unit's of health. Most games give you the default sword and shield and maybe a tool.

What I'm trying to say before I went off fanboying is that the world in the original allowed for freedom by hardly sectioning off anything to you. The only things that were mandatory was that you beat all 8 dungeons before entering Death Mountain, and that you eventually need to get a sword and a few items which could be done whenever you want. From what they've told us, what we can see, and what A Link Between Worlds has done with dungeons, we look to be getting that world again, and I'm super excited.

If this isn't the cover I will go print out as many copies of that picture as I can and replace every official cover with that image.

No.Spartan is IE with tweaks. Just changed the name. it usesmany of the same tools and such and others from what has been revealed. If you read Paul Thurott as well. MS is marketing it with a new name and made some tweaks but all in all still IE on a basic level with a new shell and name.

You don't think that they made it more secure? If they didn't make significant improvements to it then why call it something new? Where did you find out that it uses the same tools?

@waddle
IE is still the least secure browser used. It functions and looks fine but the main issue with IE is security. It still has a lot of problems. Chrome is most secrure with FF not far behind. That's why IE is not looked upon with kind eyes.

You don't think Microsoft knows that? That's the reason why they are making a new browser in the first place; otherwise they would just add Cortana integration and note-taking to an update to IE. Also, Win 10 already comes with Spartan and IE. I don't really want to have 3 browsers on one computer.
Can someone put Magic the Gathering or Yugioh or any card/board game on Hololens? That would be the coolest thing ever.

I am super excited for Windows 10. Like what people have said already, it's what Windows 8 should have been, and this is coming from someone who enjoys Windows 8. I will try out the new browser and if I like it, I will make it my default. Don't really care about the streaming because I don't have an Xbox One, but the fact that it works with Steam Games is cool. I am actually excited to use Cortana, and I really want to use Holograms. That thing's going to be hella expensive, but I don't care. 

Also, bring back 3D Pinball and Inkball. You've had an OS that primarily uses touch screens but you didn't bring back the game that was first on XP for Tablet?

They better spec console put in the hands of sub-pars devs(A majority) , you can't start abusing the console because nothing like has come to on those consoles.

That's exactly what he's talking about. Developers don't truly take advantage of the new hardware except to make world's bigger and look better.

Ace combat series been around since PS2. You fly planes and jets and fight. There was a Wii one based on a good anime and a good game called The Skycrawlers Innocent Aces. Beware tho the anime is all kinds of depressing but fantastic. Takes place during WWII

I know what Ace Combat is. The tone I was going for was one of shock that a new one was on 3DS, as I didn't associate the series with Nintendo systems because I don't follow it.

Ok in doing some research I found a couple things I have a theory on. Granted it could be background that means nothing or something unlrelated but for the sake of argument I have a couple ideas I will post.

This thing can possibly match up with a few items from XB I will post
Could be this gate. That small door alone if a few hundred feet tall and the outer part extends past the screen aways. So that is one but there is more
maybe the big central part of the mechonis sword minus galahad fortress
could be just a massive gear from anywhere off mechonis itself.
last one I feel is a out there idea but throwing it out anyway. One of the colonies. Even colony 6 or 9 what's left turned on it's side for whatever reason
Could be a crashed city from one of the ships that did not make it in story of XCX so that's what I think are some possibilities


I should also add me and my friend have a theory and have had since E3. This game could possibly be both a sequel and prequel. Now some of this will be a little spoiler ish but not putting in tags because I don't want this post interupted. So I will put a red line below this text to let you know NOT TO READ FURTHER.

==========================================================================

You better put that in spoiler tags right now. You don't talk about the ending of an RPG willy-nilly. The red line doesn't help much.
