Dungeon Siege the Movie

[Melbosa]

See gotta love our little community, I don't have to research everything when I can get our minions... er mean members to do it for me!

[Darren Dirt]

yeah, but you sometimes need a piratespeak-->l33t$p3@k translator to unnerstand watt their sayig

[Darren Dirt]

Wowcanyabelieveit? A video game movie, and Ewe is NOT directing it!



Wokkawokka!





PS: after persuing the article A Case in Communism: The Super Mario Story, and recognizing how strangely bad the movie was (at least, in terms of faithfulness to the original game), I wonder what kind of child-mind-warping propaganda will come out of the Mr. Yellow Face Dot Addict?  :?

[Mr. Analog]

What.The. Hell.



HOW can PAC-MAN be a MOVIE?



Let's look at the past shall we?



PAC-MAN: 1980

Type: Video Game

Status: Awesome



Pac-Man Cereal: 1982

Type: Cereal

Status: Meh



"Pac-Man": 1982

Type: Cartoon

Status: Crap



Pac-Man: 1983

Type: Atari home Translation

Status: Unforgivable Junk



Now I know there was Ms. Pac-Man and a couple of 3D Pac-Games of non-suckable quality but the Pac-Franchise has, to me, languished into a decay from which it will never recover.



But hey, that's just my take.

[Darren Dirt]

You didn't mention, so I will, Pacman World 2 is waycoolfun, and Pacman Fever is a neat collection of Pac and Ms.Pac and some other Namco characters in a sorta boardgame-minigame 4 player coolness (literally "fun for the WHOLE family", 4 year old girl to 9 year old boy can play, and I even find it fun).



But yeah, the other stuff you mentioned, teh suck.

[Thorin]

Pacman Fever, you say?  Is that available for the GameCube?

[Mr. Analog]

Yes, yes it is.

[Darren Dirt]

Yes, yes it is.

Rule of thumb: If Darren Dirt ever mentions playing a game at home, it is either PC or Gamecube. IWNBAHCSAIASOTMPWANSLWCBYMSOABANG*.

Last time I checked backward compatiblility was very common in modern consoles.



Gamboy -> GameBoy Advance -> Nintendo DS



GameBoy (with addon) -> GameCube -> Revolution



Xbox (200+ titles)->Xbox 360



PS1 -> PS2-> PS1 and PS2 ->PS3



Why do you have to buy all new games.. Almost every single concole released this or comming will be backward compatible.

[Shayne]

...not to mention its only a matter of time (late 2006, early 2007) that your console will no longer be developed for (at least not AAA, or even AA, A titles).



The investment is minimal in that a $500 machine over 4 years is about $10 a month.



Have they even confirmed the Revolution to be backwards?  I was aware that it would have access to an online service that would allow you to play a large amount of "classic" nintendo games, but to play GameCube games from the disc would be interesting as its a slot load drive and the discs are smaller.  Though with an ATi core, and an IBM cpu its probably pretty easy to assume as the parts are near the same as the GameCube.



Backwards compatability is a selling feature forsure, and while most games work the accessories and/or saved games and such do not.
