Looks like Space Quest (or more accurately, a Space version of Monkey Island) combined with Gradius.
The Protomen are doing music for that game, I'm super close to dropping money on the Kickstarter.
And now I'm very, very happy that I didn't pay $14.99 to pre-purchase it on Steam.
I thought Bloodborne was coming out tomorrow.
It doesn't.

You know a game's gonna be hard when it's punishing players before it's even out.I thought Bloodborne was coming out tomorrow.
It doesn't.
FFXI's PS2 and 360 services will be closing in 2016.
Also of note, SE is working on the final major storyline for the game, but will not be closing down the PC version (and is working on a mobile version).

Yeah, this is basically Konami realizing that people buy stuff because of Kojima and not because of their company name and their need to put a stop to that... which, ironically, is likely to damage their company severely.
Honestly, I'm more concerned about what this means for Silent Hills. Kojima was directing that too.

Nintendo has partnered with a company DeNa (sp?) to produce mobile content based on stuff like Mario and Zelda so they don't have to soil their own hands with it. On the one hand, this could be good for them. On the other, the last time they tried this we got Zelda CD-i.
But on purely good news, they're fucking finally going to have a cross-platform (and even PC for some reason) account based system like Steam, PSN, and XBL.

An indie developer pulled a DCMA on a recent video by Jim Sterling. Their reaction is hilarious, especially given the absolute shit product they were trying to present. Having seen the video before it was taken down, I swear the game ran less frames per second than running an MMO on a low-end laptop and all the settings turned to max.
It blows my mind that developers think they can release something like this to the public without expecting criticism or backlash. Worse, they'll try to hide behind the shield of Early Access or Greenlight, assuming that saves them from criticism. And yet, the developers that have released Early Access games that were presentable and actually WORTH buying (Kerbal, Darkest Dungeon) don't seem to have this problem. Funny that.

I think the PC aspect is going to replace Club Nintendo for the fan reward stuff. Maybe let you manage your account that way, too? (I.E. Put more money on your e-Shop account.)
That'd be good; they need that.
Konami is already planning another MGS title post-Kojima.
Do you think it means anything that the notice says "Next Metal Gear title", rather than specifying "Metal Gear Solid"?
I guess it depends on who they bring in for it. I've never really cared for MGS anyway, but who knows, fresh blood might be good for it. Being a Japanese game it likely won't be subject to the usual CoD/Battlefield treatment, I would think.
They could let Platinum take another swing at it. Metal Gear Rising was awesome.
But yeah, Konami still sucks.
A bunch have been announced, but not all of them have been officially revealed. Shinnok for example was shown in the Cage family trailer, but hasn't otherwise been announced as a playable character.
But if you pre-order now, you can get Goro... they've made that very, very clear.
I mean, they're not the only ones guilty of this kind of thing. If you check out the Steam listing for SFIV, it is smothered in costume DLC. Not just a handful, either, there's a veritable shitload. Granted, that's not the same as characters, but still, this seems to be the way of the big fighters now.
It's not so much the DLC, I'm ok with that. MK9 had DLC characters, and they were all pretty good. It's advertising DLC before the game is even out.
