The Bitbag : Retrovision: Atari Donkey Kong

Fri, 2 Oct 2009 20:56:06 +0000

The coleco donkey kong was a real port, wasn't there a big thing between Atari and Coleco as to who would get the permission and licensing from nintendo to rightfully port and market the game in the US? From the looks of that 2600 version they lost, i only played the arcade version and the NES versions.

Good review Spenny. LOL Spencer's magic number for guns in a game is 9! A pistol would have satisfied him. Seriously though 8 guns is bullshit though, they could have put a little more effort into the weapons department. I appreciate the paranormal guns. Did some of the old weapons make a return? The lightning gun, Venom and flamethrower?

Great to hear about huxley shit has been so quiet about it. They just keep sayin Q4 09 release with the 360 version 6 months later. Whenever the hell that is. Besides being an MMO how would you say Huxley and Borderlands differenciate? Style wise (not artistic) and battle system wise? Of course assuming you were able to get your hands on borderlands.

Good review Tor. That was PDs goal to be able to make a pick up/put down GT racing game. It sounds like it came across well for you. Im guessing the tuning part was taken out as an effort to keep the game as simple as possible not taking away from the ability to just jump into a game and out. Question, is there any online ad hoc abilities? If not they should have included that at least and i would criticize them for that.

Acutally Chad the PS3/360 US release date is the 20th as stated in the video you posted. The PC release date is the 26th and overseas is the 30th. I got the information from their community website (http://gbxforums.gearboxsoftware.com/showthread.p... @ Sixamp Damn bro your running on some old hardware. A six year old CPU and a four old Video card... Well they haven't released the minimum/preferred requirements yet you might be able to skate buy on the minimum requirements but that would be a gamble. Most minimum requirements look for a P4/amd 3000, 1 GB Ram, DX 9 compatable card with at least 256MB. Your ati is DX 9 and your amd barely passes the minimum so you should be able to play... but i would recommend in your situation the console version. Choose based on what console you have more friends on since it's offering 4 player co-op. Hope that helps.

Damn i love their art direction in that clip! But im not shelling out more money on SF4. I was sort of dissapointed with SF4 and correct me if im wrong but Super SF2 came out at least a year after SF2. When is Super SF4 planning on releasing?

Yo Tor that was straight pwnage on Blade! LOL Haipa is my dude but damn Mr. Glass... LMFAO!!! I agree with your outlook on linking to other websites, unless the websites being linked provide direct quotes from directors and producers to support or defeat claims. If it aint quoted it's worthless. Tor that blond bombshell has a name buddy.... Rachel! But screw Rachel lets get to Ayane! BTW The "physical damage" you were asking for was present in the demos at TGS.

NPD has it's flaws as well they don't even include onlines sales/transaction and have just started the conversation about including that data... Shit NPD just started including sales from places like Walmart and Sams Club so lets not jump on the NPD is the most accurate band wagon just yet. They offer somewhat reliable data but i wouldn't say they are anymore reliable than Media Create or Media Control GfK how would you argue that they are?

3) You have this hatred for bundles or pack-ins or whatever but you do know that the mighty Halo 3 and ODST offered bundles right? So stop discrediting the sales games like Uncharted and others get with their bundles. You say U2 will fall far below expectations and Ratchet won't sell at all. First what are the so call expectations for U2? Ratchet wont sell at all, how far below expectations you expect it to fall? You were wrong about the slim not making a big deal and you haven't owned up to it i'll await to see how off your predictions are on the above and retort then as well. BTW Sony sold 1+million PS3's in 3 weeks with just the slim and no new major Sony game bundled. What do expect of those numbers when the holiday runs around with games like MW2, U2, and FFXII (Japan). Being modest as to how even with ODST and their price drop and Slims still outselling it how can you claim Microsoft will own the holidays...

Stop throwing your opinions out like facts, it's distastful and that comment above only fuels fanboys. Holes in your theory include: 1) The PS3 Slim sold mostly to existing PS3 owners. Where/When/What can you provide to support that statement? Sure gamestop had trade in deals going but that had no effect on suppliers getting rid of the "Fat" PS3 that was in stock which was flying off the shelves to make room for the Slim on the DAY of the announcement. 2) there will be little to no change in game sales. Well supprise thats been the case for some time now. With the execption to a few titles, competition between multiplatform game sales have been basically a dead draw. Look at the latest games (Madden 10, WET, NFS: Shift, Guitar Hero 5 and Batman) all sales are exceptionally close with the 360 edging out with WET, Guitar Hero 5 and Madden and the PS3 edging out with Batman and Shift. All leads very small so where is this big acception that there was ever a BIG change in game sales?

Almost exactly what i whould have suggested Microsoft do as well. It was well known that bungie DIDN'T want to price the game at $60 but a lower price point. I agree playing a 5.5 hour campaign and for non-matchmaking firefight mode just seems like it really could have been DLC for Halo 3. Look at GTA their DLC offers just as much if not more and it's $20 DLC. Shit i can even say look at Fallout 3 DLC. I think not giving us the option for matchmaking in firefight was imo bad. I mean if it's 3am on saturday and im back from hanging out with some friends and none of them that ARE online don't have ODST im shit out of luck... That's just not cool. People are able to form their own opinions and buy what they want but it's also with that same freedom to speak and say what they want as well. As long as both are a liberty we can all excersise at will we should.

There's nothing to add.... Every car will feature damage in GT5. I wrote this back before about cars having premium damage and standard damage. The nascar and rally cars will have premium damage which includes the dramatic front/back bumpers falling off, doors and hoods falling off and etc. All the other cars will feature standard damage which includes paint scratching and minor deformations of the exterior. Also the premium damage cars will feature interior damage as well while this detail will not effect the standard suite leaving the minor damage to the exterior... It was also stated that there will be minor enhancements to the damage system before it's actual launch date as what was shown at TGS was not their final damage/physics system just what they have now.

I guess this is good for Wii owners but i have the Genesis collection which includes the console and arcade versions. I don't know i think it kind of blows that you have to buy both versions rather than them bundling them together...
