The Weekly Release

[bapenguin]

Another week, another Weekly Release. A few titles of interest this week including a Guild Wars Expansion that really isn't an expansion. A Black and White 2 Expansion, which really is an expansion. There's also a new Ace Combat game for the PS2. Finally we have the FIFA World Cup game where you can actually play the World Cup. How nice of them.

DVD-wise we finally see an English release of FF7: Advent Children. Aeon Flux also hits, but from what I hear the film is pretty much a miss. The real diamond though is the original Inspector Gadget finds it's way to DVD!

[Rirath]

They're still making Rampage games? Really? Why?

FFVII AC: Amazing movie ending to an amazing game, unfathomably long delay.

[Borys]

PARADISE !!!

By Benoit Sokal, known for the amazing Syberia and Syberia 2 games.

[MaiXu]

So ... United 93.

Anyone want to see this? Anyone else sickened by how quick the Hollywood cash-in came?

[AspectVoid]

I'm always up for more Ace Combat, as its just a fun series. I'm also interested in the Guild Wars expansion that isn't. I'd probably grab AC0 first, though, as Obilvion is handling my RPG needs quite nicely right now.

[reptilezero]

So ... United 93.

Anyone want to see this? Anyone else sickened by how quick the Hollywood cash-in came?

yeah. only way this movie would be acceptable is if all the profits were donated; otherwise they're just making money off of a tragedy.

[bone_matrix]

Looking forward to the American Dad release. I know most of the people on here didn't like it, but I enjoyed it.

[Taco]

RE: United 93.

People can say we need to remember, or we need to learn the truth of what happened, or whatever other BS to justify it. I agree with the opinion that Hollywood, which has long forgotten what an original idea is, made this movie to cash in. Nothing more, nothing less.

[fitbabits]

Someone please put a stop on my checking account, otherwise I'll end up buying the Xbox 360 version of 2006 FIFA World Cup. :(

[bean19]

Looking forward to the American Dad release. I know most of the people on here didn't like it, but I enjoyed it.

You are right. We hated it. Now we hate you.

For other people who may have thought about looking up the obscure PC titles to find out what the hell they are about, I'll save you the trouble as I've already done a search.

Spellforce 2 - fantasy RTS. You lost me at RTS.

Paradise - Another adventure game (that's two this year that I know about. Wow! Not that I'm going to buy it).

Shadowgrounds - top-down shooter. Play the demo if you like. It seems like a really great entry into a genre that should never have existed.

I am not going to see it because I'm not sure what happened on the plane and I think that historic fiction based on limited facts is fine when something is really, really far in the past, but strikes me as patriotic propoganda this close to the event.

USA! USA!

Also, I know how it ends.

[thiby]

Wow United 93 got a 100% avarage rating on Rotten Tomatoes (http://http://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/united_93/) . It must be good! :rolleyes:

Pretty much, it seems we have a handful of Asshats on all ends are stirring up shit for money or to further their pet fanaticism. I wonder how history will remember the early part of the 21st century....

[Taco]

Like the world will survive long enough for the early 21st century to become history. I wonder what the next intelligent race will be able to piece together from our ancient artifacts and fossils.

My buddy who is working on his doctorate says Bees wil be next on the scale, and they are more war like than we are. :P

[Kelegacy]

United 93 is like The Perfect Storm: there is only so much we actually DO know, so the rest of the story has to be fictionalized, making for a better Hollywood experience. I hate those types of movies because they draw people in with the phrase "Based on a True Story".

[TrackZero]

Shadowgrounds - top-down shooter. Play the demo if you like. It seems like a really great entry into a genre that should never have existed.

LOL, that's ones way to put it. I really did enjoy it though, but I can't imagine paying full price for it as a PC game. Now if it was $20, I'd jump on it.

[Mysterio]

Those opposed to United 93 are right. I'd hate to see a movie that

a.) honors the brave men and women on that doomed flight (Saving Private Ryan was an insult to WWII vets, I tell you!)

b.) was made with the full support of the heroes' families

c.) will donate 10% of its opening weekend gross (which is typically the highest grossing weekend) to the United 93 Memorial (how much money have the EA bashers of this movie donated to that memorial?)

[Taco]

10% of the gross for a couple days?

Well that changes my mind.:rolleyes:

If I made a ton of money exploiting something, I'd promise I'd donate money to the cause. Until then your comparison to every day EA readers is quite stunningly idiotic.

[Cubfan]

United 93 will make a ton of money? I'm not so sure about that. No big name stars, a straightforward, unglamorous take on an event that people aren't necessarily ready to revisit does not equal box office gold.

I've read about the movie, seen a short documentary on it, and don't have any problem with it myself. Seems like an honest, respectful take on what may/may not have happened on the flight. Definitely does not strike me as a cash-in.

[destoo]

My buddy who is working on his doctorate says Bees wil be next on the scale, and they are more war like than we are. :P

And we all know I LOVE BEES (http://ilovebees.com)

[UnderHero5]

I'm considering Outrun on PSP... mostly because I am desperate for a PSP game to play.

Although I did pick up Daxter yesterday and so far it's quite good!

[laggerific]

Wasn't Resident Evil 4 set for a 4/28 release date? It's kosher now that they've dropped starforce protection...

[AntB]

I saw the trailer for this United 93 bullshit yesterday, when I went to see Silent Hill.

Fuck the Hollywood cocksuckers who are pissing on everyone who died in 9/11 graves to make a profit.

Fuck United 93. 10% of the profit?! FUCK YOU. 100% of the profit. You can't make a fucking penny off of someone elses deaths you prick.

You are donating 10% out of tens possibly hunderds of millions of dollars.
You are piggybacking on thousands of innocent deaths to line your pockets?

I'm officially boycotting the movie, anyone who goes to see the movie, the studios, the director, the producer, the actors. Fuck anyone who makes money off of this.

It's only been 4 years. You are not recounting the events. You are not honoring anyone. You are being a fucking greedy pig.

[Imelman]

boycot seconded, instead i'll donate $10 (the price of a movie ticket) to a charity that is helping support 9/11 victims.

[Mysterio]

10% of the gross for a couple days?

Well that changes my mind.:rolleyes:

If I made a ton of money exploiting something, I'd promise I'd donate money to the cause. Until then your comparison to every day EA readers is quite stunningly idiotic.

So you haven't donated a single penny to the memorial? Impressive. If I understand you correctly, though, you're willing to donate money to a cause you're defending only if you make a ton of money off it? You are quite the charitable individual. :rolleyes:

[Liquidize105]

Wow, Hellwars is finally on the xbox. They took almost 2 year porting it... Must've been REALLY hard hacking the game up left and right to get that baby run on 64 megs of ram.

[Taco]

I wasn't aware that not gloating about donating to charaties equated to not donating at all. In your fervor to make me look like a mean person by utilizing a comparison that makes no sense, you missed my point.

[Mysterio]

Again, yet another uninformed EA poster.

They're donating 10% of the movie's first weekend gross, which is typically a movie's highest grossing weekend. Let's assume it grosses $20M this weekend, the same amount your beloved Silent Hill grossed its opening weekend. That's $2M that will be donated to the memorial.

Until you develop and implement a project that donates that much money to the memorial, your profanity-laced rantings will continue to be comical.

BTW, the movie will do very well at the box office, because many people question whether or not they'd have had the guts to do what those people did. It may not be 100% accurate, but it will do their actions justice.

[MaiXu]

Those opposed to United 93 are right. I'd hate to see a movie that

a.) honors the brave men and women on that doomed flight (Saving Private Ryan was an insult to WWII vets, I tell you!)

*sigh* Guess this was inevitable. For starters, I don't know how honorable any movie is when it’s a fucking Hollywood movie. It's all fake, overblown, marketed and focus-grouped. There are more dignified ways of honoring the men and women on that flight than exploiting their memory for a summer blockbuster.

b.) was made with the full support of the heroes' families

That's a hell of a blanket statement. I'm sure some of the families wouldn't mind (especially if Hollywood just dropped a bag of cash on the table ... after all, it's likely that the family's breadwinner died on the flight), but does that really matter? People give their consent to be on TV all the time, to be on reality TV, and it doesn't make it any less shameless or disgusting.

c.) will donate 10% of its opening weekend gross (which is typically the highest grossing weekend) to the United 93 Memorial (how much money have the EA bashers of this movie donated to that memorial?)

Well holy shit. Move over Mother Teresa. You think the movie studio could get away with making this exploitive crap without some kind of gesture toward charity? Please. 10% of its opening weekend ... let's say it does $25 million. Sure, that's $2.5 million right there ... but considering how much money the studio will make on DVDs, on the TV rights, all that other stuff ... all said and done, the studio really isn't giving up shit. They spent more money advertising the fucking thing than they'll donate to charity.

Your comparison to Saving Private Ryan does not quite fit. Was Bay's Pearl Harbor an honor to those men? Don't defend this kind of blatant exploitation because of the memory of these men and women. Just because they died in a horrible terrorist attack doesn't make any movie about them honorable.

[Pinku!]

I'll be picking up Lost Magic this week. I just find the concept of having to actually draw the runes needed to cast a spell nifty, and from what I've been reading it looks to be a solid title.

Another added to my "to be played" queue...

[Leon_X_Macbeth]

United 93 is far from a Hollywood-made crap you see nowadays... Its made by independant director who didnt want hollywood suits to interfere with his movie... Made with unkonwn actors and not backed by a huge hollywood studio... To say its a cash in is wrong... Its not exploiting, its retelling the events that we may have forgotten in the next few years. I think you guys should give it a shot and see it and not be so close minded about things.

[Steele Johnson]

yeah. only way this movie would be acceptable is if all the profits were donated; otherwise they're just making money off of a tragedy.

How is that any different from what Hollywood has been doing for the last 80 years? And even if it's an indie movie, it's still something that has been done hundreds of times. All those holocaust movies... geeze, I must have seen at least 20 of those.

[MaiXu]

And we all know I LOVE BEES (http://ilovebees.com)

i <3 huckaBEES? (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0356721/)

It that's true, they should cover costs and donate the rest to a charity. Or even pay the guys that put all the hours into the flick a nominal pay, and donate the rest.

I'm sure that's what will happen. I'm sure no one is making decent money.

[MaiXu]

Well, a little work on IMDB and I discover that Paul Greengrass is both the writer and director of United 93. Now I'm not suddenly OK with the film, but I have higher hopes than I did about the film before. Greengrass wrote and directed the excellent Bloody Sunday (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0280491/), which was a pretty fair look at a rather bloody incident between the Irish and the English in 1972.

I still don't think this movie was made without the primary intent being making a shitload of cash. But maybe Greengrass can pull something decent together. Either way, I have no desire to see this, and certainly won't be suppoting this film with my money.

[Mysterio]

That's a hell of a blanket statement. I'm sure some of the families wouldn't mind (especially if Hollywood just dropped a bag of cash on the table ... after all, it's likely that the family's breadwinner died on the flight), but does that really matter? People give their consent to be on TV all the time, to be on reality TV, and it doesn't make it any less shameless or disgusting.

You don't have a very high opinion of those families if you think all of them would sell out their loved ones for cash. I understand that you're cynical, but this movie will be a very stirring one, and people will be happy they went to see it.

They spent more money advertising the fucking thing than they'll donate to charity.

Advertising dollars could only have a positive impact on the donated amount, while they could equal a loss for the studio.

Your comparison to Saving Private Ryan does not quite fit. Was Bay's Pearl Harbor an honor to those men? Don't defend this kind of blatant exploitation because of the memory of these men and women. Just because they died in a horrible terrorist attack doesn't make any movie about them honorable.

Are you serious? You're comparing Saving Private Ryan to Pearl Harbor? :eek:

Like the soldiers in WWII, the people aboard United 93 died protecting their country. They didn't just sit in their seats while the terrorists flew the plan into the White House. I have great respect for those who fought in WWII and the people on that flight, because, quite frankly, I don't know if I would have the guts to storm the beaches of Normandy or rush a group of terrorists.

[AntB]

Mysterio, how is it over there in Arizona?

Did you donate any money to anyone directly effected by 9/11?

Have you ever spoken to someone who lost a loved one because of the 9/11 attacks?

After all of this, did you nearly enlist in the Army?

If not,
http://sundown.greyledge.net/pages/images/stfu_50.jpg

I was ready to enlist in the Army after this event.
The only reason I'm here, and not fighting terrorists that caused 9/11 is because, the U.S. also piggybacked on 911, and went into Iraq.
The second you tell me I'm going to go find Osama, I'm enlisting.
Unfortunately, I am not fit enough to become a navy seal or a green beret.

[Vaginasaurus]

With all this talk about United 93, I think we've forgotten about the most important opening movie this week, Stick It. I mean, high school gymnast girls in leotards! Come on! It even has some of the people involved in everyone's favorite cheerleader romp, Bring It On!. This is going to be cinema gold I tells ya and will gross highly due to all the 40 year old men going to see it.

[MaiXu]

Have you seen it? How can you say "it will be very stirring" or other such marketing blurbs?

Advertising dollars could only have a positive impact on the donated amount, while they could equal a loss for the studio.

Hardly. The studio is doing this to make money. Do not forget this, and don't let the PR move of donating to charities mask their greed.

Are you serious? You're comparing Saving Private Ryan to Pearl Harbor? :eek:

No, I wasn't. Pearl Harbor is garbage. SPR is a good film. Both are based on real events. Your statements about this film being a tribute to the heroes applies to those two WWII movies: tributes can be exploitive crap.

I agree. I hope I'd have the balls to fight back in a similar situation. But none of the changes my feelings of this film being a cash-in on a very recent tragedy.

Jesus Christ. Are you serious? Are you trying to claim some sort of moral high ground because you "nearly" enlisted? That's absurd. Think how ridiculous that sounds.

Oh and before you try to come back to me with some other inane bullshit. I actually did enlist.

[DoubleUranium]

If it's not a non profit movie, it's an exploitation - how hard is that to figure out? If they make $1 on the film after donating whatever amount, that money was made on the back of the tragedy that occurred that day. You might be fine with that. Given how recently the events occurred and how fresh the grief still is, I think it's an exploitation. Whether or not someone personally donated to the 9/11 charities has nothing to do with whether the film is exploiting the tragedy or not. They are unrelated actions. Besides, if you are a US taxpayer, you already donated to the 9/11 families when you paid taxes.

[AntB]

Furious Wang, I wasn't trying to claim a higher moral ground.

Just let the emotions get a little out of hand there.

Fact stands.

No matter how you want to put it. It's an exploitation.
There are various degrees of exploitation, and this is pretty high up there.

Oh, I get it--only those living in NYC can truly appreciate what transpired on 9/11.

9/11 impacted the entire country, not just you, you little prick. How dare you stand on your pedastal and imply that you and your New York City brethren are the only ones who can truly speak for that day.

Fact? You mean opinion. More specifically, your opinion, which doesn't amount to much in my opinion. You see how that works, the difference between a fact and an opinion?

Let's see what the country thinks of this movie in the coming weeks. It's my belief that your opinion will be in the minority.

[Taco]

I think if one person make more than a cent off this it's fact. The quality of the content in the film is irrelevant.

[bean19]

Pretty much, it seems we have a handful of Asshats on all ends are stirring up shit for money or to further their pet fanaticism. I wonder how history will remember the early part of the 21st century....

Being American is not about being hopeful, hardworking, and pursuing your dreams anymore.

It is now about being aggressively arrogant about being ignorant, and maintaining a toy-filled lifestyle in an economy controlled by a corrupt government that is bankrupting the nation.

At least, that's what I'd write about this decade. You have to keep in mind that we are very much an evolving society. I expect that eventually we will have another great depression or other demonstrable suffering and that people will begin to care about who we vote for and how they choose to govern again.

Well, I'm getting Advent Children for sure. I'd still like to know where the heck Dreamfall ever disappeared to. I can't seem to find it at EB and I'm not sure if Amazon is ever going to get it in... grr...

If anyone gets Paradise, let us know if it's a great follow-up to Syberia or if it's just another mediocre adventure game. I hope it's the former, knowing it's by Sokal, but still...

Otherwise, I'm curious about Lost Magic and Atelier Iris, but having just finished KH2, I will hold off on jumping back into another JRPG at the moment.

What gets me about United 93 is that there was already an excellent documentary done about it that I saw on the Discovery Channel a few months ago. I'd much rather watch it again than a Hollywood version.

Wow, that's fuckin inspirational. I think we should have Nearly President Al Gore award you the Not-Quite Medal of Missed-It-By-That-Much Honor. We can let you march on November 10th in the We're Not Really Veterans Day Parade. I'm kinda honored to be on the board with an upstanding always-been-a-civilian such as yourself. It takes great courage to almost show such conviction. On the behalf of people who have served, we're nearly proud of you for just about getting the gusto and considering picking up a rifle and maybe putting your life on the line. It almost makes me wish that I wouldn't have served, myself, so that I could practically be right there with you.

The biggest tragedy following 9/11, next to the lies that got us into Iraq, are the lies pushed down to us by our administration through the "official" commission. Too many unanswered questions, and no one with power willing to fight for the answers.

I personally want to see the story of the "plane" that crashed into the pentagon...hopefully it'll be an involved story of a little airplane that could thwart physics and logic to put a hole in the pentagon too small for the airplane that is claimed to have done it.

But more to the point of this thread...where is the listing for Res Evil 4 for PC...I've heard it's supposed to be out this week.

Sigh. Why must every thread always devolve into a political debate?

I just want to talk about games....

I'm pretty much of the opinion that no matter what anyone would have done, it would have been done incorrectly to - what seems to be - a majority of the people here. Nothing would have made some of you happy; 100% of the profits could have been donated and they could have used DVD sales and such to recoup costs and there still would have been moaning. I don't get the blanket exploitation statements either - do you honestly know for sure that's what's happening? This could honestly be made with the best of intentions and you wouldn't believe a word that comes out of the director's mouth or the actors that represented the people on that plane just because you want to be angry about something and point fingers.

Do I know what's happening here? No. I would prefer to think that the intentions of those involved are honorable. I'm not even sure I'll be seeing this right away as I'm still uncomfortable with the idea of watching something this terrible.

But anyhow, I would certainly hope that those here going on and on about exploitation and disservice and blah blah blah don't play any WW2 FPS games. Cause if you honestly want to get into questionable territory, that's a whole new door.

Let's see what the country thinks of this movie in the coming weeks. It's my belief that your opinion will be in the minority.

Since when does Rotten Tomatoes start intersplicing shots of the film into the reviews? WTF is this?
