Okay, so a few things have been announced during the past few months, and I want to share my views.
It has come to my attention recently that Harmonix have merged with MTV and are releasing a brand new franchise called "Rock Band". Premise being that you and your mates can sit around your Xbox360/PS3 and rock it out. To be honest, I love the idea, in fact, i'm probably one of the many people who played the first Guitar Hero and thought "the next step is a band". I have high hopes for this game, and the master track ability MTV allows Harmonix will improve things no end. I hope they don't decide to alter some songs like they did in Guitar Hero, and have actual bands that aren't famous, but not Harmonix's own development team doing their own thing as extra songs.
Next is the emergance of remakes on the PSP. Two in particular strike me. One is FFT: Lion War, which as we all know is the remake of Final Fantasy Tactics. This is one of those games that I wish to see have a UK release, due to the fact it is awesome. I don't have a PSP, but its important none the same. The only thing more important is the remake of Castlevania: Rondo of the Blood. This never made it outside Japan, so the fact the graphics are updated is cool enough, but Original Mode and Symphony of the Night on one system?! Awesome! Just hope and pray its an updated version of the Saturn version with the extra areas and Maria as secret character. (SotN)
Dragon Quest IX. Awesome. On the DS? Buh?!?!?! I haven't understood why they've gone handheld, but it looks great for what its on! Lets hope its as much of a success as DQVIII. Also hope they'll remake the other seven for something :)
Grand Theft Auto IV looks beautiful, but people are once again up in rage after finding out its basically set in a copy of New York. I don't get why this is so bad. The only thing I'd say is tasteless is if they decide to put in the two towers. Thats just plain wrong, and I'd doubt they'd do it. If they do, Boycott the game on principle!
Anyway, back to updating things. Not only am I doing reviews, but also RPG stuff too. Life is hard work ;)
