The Vivendi game listing for e3 says that StarCraft Ghost is among their games, but only lists the GC as the platform. I wonder if its just a mistake ?
Barely looks better than the XBox games. X-Box 1.5 indeed...
Seriously, I hope this isn't an indication of the graphical quality of XB360 games. I hope these are just really, really early renders from Team Ninja.
Quote:The latest issue of Coro Coro has new details, and lots of new pictures for Pokémon XD: Dark Winds Dark Lugia. The game will be similar to Pokémon Colosseum as there is still battling but there is a large RPG section as well.
The RPG section has been improved, with a beefier story and more things to do. The storyline, from what we know of it, has you playing as a very skinny male who...well who knows what he is doing but nonetheless he is armed with Pokéballs and the will to collect Pokémon.
The character will once again have the Snag Machine and an Aurora Searcher so that you can trace down Shadow Pokémon. You will begin with an Eevee, which makes me wonder if the evolution you chose will affect the game in any way. The currently known Pokémon that you can snag are Teddiursa and Lugia.
A "dark" Lugia is also very prominent in the magazine scans, and of course the game is named after it, so is bound to play a large part in this game. The game is due out in Japan on August 4th, so expect new info soon, if not next week during E3.
Basically, Dyack says what we've all pretty much known since we first heard about the split: Nintendo wants to do smaller, simpler things, and SK does not. Which is understandable. SK wants to make big, grand projects with great production values and Nintendo is afraid of voice acting. That's basically what I suspected from the beginning and Dyack pretty much confirms it, though in a much nicer way. He does say that Eternal Darkness was a very unique project since they made it with Nintendo and that they really won't be able to do the same stuff with their current partners (Sega and MS, though he doesn't say MS--you'll see at E3), that their partnership with Nintendo certainly resulted in a different kind of game for them. Which is definitely true. Making games with Nintendo is certainly going to result in a very different kind of game than if you were to make a game with say, Microsoft. And he doesn't say that as a knock against Nintendo, certainly not.
So yeah, it's pretty much what we suspected. Silicon Knights couldn't come to an agreement with Nintendo about future projects, so they split. Ah well. I hope their next game is good.

what's everyone's thought on the best Star Wars collector's item of all-time, keeping the original price under $10? mine just might be this june's issue of playboy, with bai ling rocking the light saber on the cover :). since it's been announced that she's been cut from the movie,i'm banking on the value going up (sort of like that dale murphy error card upper deck put out in '89)
