The g/f is making me play Operation Raccoon City with her, but I'm pretty lukewarm on that.

Other than that, not too enthused.

This is pretty much how I feel too. I'm excited for RE:R and RE6 but I don't really care that much about ORC. I might play it just to check it out, but eh.

Now, don't get me wrong. ORC might not be for me, but I also don't get the unnatural hate machine for it either. Some people act like its the coming of the antichrist, or label it some "dudebro Cawdooty" nonsense or the like. I definitely like some of the liberties that they've taken with the game, as well as setting it during the Raccoon City Incident (I mean, c'mon Capcom, you infected an entire city, a small city, but a city nonetheless) need to make some actual use of that aspect.

That being said, control stick issue not withstanding, RE:R is shaping up to be pretty good. Odds are it'll be the first game I buy for my 3ds.

I think OCR is gonna be pretty fun. Yeah it's not even remotely a survival horror series anymore, but I think it's fun to see different takes on a series. With Halo, they had Halo Wars. With Mario they had Super Mario RPG. I mean, people were wanting to see zombies come back and you can't have them come back anymore than fighting off hordes of them with crazy abilities. Plus, as far as team based shooters go, this has some pretty unique ideas for it. The multiplayer alone sounds pretty promising if it works out. Squad based multiplayer, where you not only fight off another team, but BOW's and zombies, actually utilizing them as an enviromental hazard and to your own benefit if done right. And you can become a zombie! That's pretty cool lol

They've only showed Street Fighter X Tekken. I'm looking forward to Tekken X Street Fighter which uses the Tekken engine. We've only got an announcement for this so far, and all the hype has been dedicated to Street Fighter X Tekken.

Oh, no I'm not hating OCR! I haven't even been keeping up with it to be honest. I guess I'm Just indifferent to it.

I thought it was scrapped as projectiles don't work well in 3-D.

We're probably not seeing TxSF until 2013. They've announced all of 4 characters, and probably don't want to take away from SFxT's hype.

Mesoian · 02-01-2012, 12:24 PM

Indeed. Capcom knows they can't count on Street Fighter 5 setting the world on fire by just adding in new characters and they can't put in come back mechanics which seems to be their answer to everything. So they have to let the demand for straight SF gameplay to become high again. They seem to be banking on that with this cross series experiment.

I don't know how much I'm liking all this meta game stuff they're doing with SFxT. CrossAssault looks like it's going to be the butt of a lot of fighting game fan jokes, but it's an important step to figure out how to make...esports, I guess we can call it, more valid and less like a joke.

Considering 90% of the entrants on youtube are jokes though, I don't know what kind of caliber players they're going to get...

Mesoian · 02-01-2012, 01:36 PM

Ghost trick is confirmed to be going to iOS as well, so assuming capcom gets off their ass and ports it to Android, i'll be rebuying that too so I have one less reason to lug around my DS.

Oh dang. I've been borrowing my friend's copy of it on DS for way too long. If I still am not done by the time the iOS version comes out, perhaps I will just go with that...

They only brought in projectiles in Tekken 6 and even when you use them you're put at a great disadvantage and they're banned from tournaments anyway.

Which is one of the reasons why Tekken 6 is a bad game.

Tekken 5: DR at least kept that mess restricted to boss characters.

...? If you don't want projectiles, don't use them. You're not forced to put them on your character.
