Board 8 > Today's gaming news -- 9/5/11

(+) Yeah! (+)

- The big news today, obviously: DQ10 is announced. It's an online game, likely requires a subscription to play (at least in Japan), is coming out on the Wii in 2012 and probably some kind of expansion/port on WiiU later on, likely 2013. It's turn-based, can be played 100% by yourself (but requires being online), and will have AI teammates if you want to go about it single-player. Opinions are pretty damn mixed. Here's some video - http://nintendoeverything.com/73066/

- The good news today: Peace Walker's co-op is indeed through XBL/PSN. That's huge. Hopefully people are reading Kojima correctly and this isn't a mistranslation. http://www.joystiq.com/2011/09/05/metal-gear-solid-peace-walker-hd-will-have-online-co-op-through/

- Nothing else going on today so here's a fun opinion piece on jaded video gamers and how good they have it: http://arstechnica.com/gaming/news/2011/09/gaming-everything-is-amazing-and-no-one-is-happy.ars

Black Turtle did a pretty good job.

I got a kick out of this --

Left hand side are the original MGS icons, right hand side are the HD icons. Kojima goin' the distance.

Love is better than anger. Hope is better than fear. Optimism is better than despair. So let us be loving, hopeful and optimistic. And we’ll change the world.

They're crazy if they think DQ with a recurring charge will fly over in the West. This won't help endear naysayers with the series.

The sauce is weak with this one. But...if he could be churned, he would make a powerful stir-fry.
