No offense to German Gaffers, but sometimes I pick up a German magazine like N-Zone, Gamepro etc. (I live near the German border) and I think the German review system is broken. Sometimes they are way to soft with certain games. Games that will receive 4.0's in other international gaming mags receive a 6.0 from those magazines. With the bigger games they are more generous, but sometimes the reviews are inconsistent imo.
None taken, I haven't bought a console magazine in years, they're shit.

You're obviously not German or living in Germany, else you'd know that all console mags here are pure and utter garbage.

I don't think I said one source had credibility, one way or the other.

Have you read one of these mags? No? Then stfu.
You should relax.

You were indicating that the advice to not read a shitty German console mag and automatically dismiss their opinion as worthless was a typical (defensive) reaction, when in reality they all suck and can't be taken seriously - regardless of what scores they give to games on any console.

Listen I'm not trying to defend the people who say don't listen to this mag or don't read that one. I just think you have to admit it's a o_O reaction when a mag's pros and cons contradict each other. To say a pro is the great violence, and then say a con is that its too violent for Wii, come on. Saying it has stylish graphics, and then calling the graphics weird in cons, is just really weird. I think we can agree on that.

You do know that both Agalloch and pickwick are talking about Dascus joke-review and not the actual review right?

Boom headshot, then. A friend of mine just linked me your joke pros/cons, he found them on another message board and everyone believed they were legit.

Das war ein Witz von dascu. Praktisch die selbe "Zusammenfassung" hat er schonmal bei einem anderen Test zu einem anderen Titel gepostet.

You really expected it to be a good story? How naive can you get?

The story is awesome, it's like the first half of Death Note with gritty writing, really great pacing and manganoid actions. I've really liked it.

I'm so sick of the Sin City comments;

GamingBits: "Where did you draw some of the inspiration for MadWorld? In films or comics?"

Shigenori: "Actually, many people talk about Sin City as a reference but it's not really Sin City, but really more of the classic american comic book style which we are fans of. We read many, many comic books, which were an inspiration to the graphic style."

Sin City wasn't the only comic to use noir style visuals and the developers have gone on record multiple times stating there were many other influences.

Bump with a new blog entry on PlatinumGames: http://platinumgames.com/2009/03/01/a-different-sense-of-humor/

It's about getting the humour right in MadWorld and the Neogaf posters! :D

Platinum Games said:
And now for something completely different… Some users on a site (NeoGAF) got organized and made some MADWORLD posters. I was really surprised by how awesome the design sense was. The other thing that shocked me was just how many posters they made.

Everyone took time out of their day and tried their hardest to make a cool MADWORLD ad. It really shot our motivation through the roof and made the team and I want to make an even better game for everyone out there! Thank you all so much for making these!!
(The poster below is the one I thought was the best out of all the designs!)

Should be posted in the magazine ad thread.

I have a Panny Plasma, and I've run the Wii in both 480i and 480p and can't tell any difference. So I doubt it will bother me too much.

i have a panny plasma as well. try 480i on a virtual console game and you can tell.

Gamekyo has some new screens, including one showing the 2P character for the multiplayer Bloodbath Challenges:

He looks a lot like Jack. I wonder if it's a storyline character (Kojack?) or just a random design.

I know the last thing X-Play had was an All Access thing for the game, but I think they have a new hands on tonight:

In this episode of X-Play, Adam and Morgan gets Hands On with the new, bloody Wii exclusive MadWorld, make a call to the bullpen and review MLB 09: The Show and finally go behind the scenes with some of the best Street Fighter competitors in the world when we cover the Street Fighter IV Tournament.

Today on X-Play:
* Hands On: MadWorld
* Review: MLB 09: The Show
* All Access: Street Fighter IV

If not new...well...it's still MadWorld!

wait what?
The game is not in 480p?

Tell me that isn't true FFS.
It's true, but IGN said they didn't find out until they plugged in their video capture device, meaning it's probably not too bad.

well, one of the most beautiful games last gen (if not the most beautiful one) was in 480i, so no big deal here. unless your tv is sucking at interlaced mode, of course (mine doesn't : )

Maybe im late to this but...WHAT?!

The same Matsuno who directed the Ivalice Alliance games including Ogre Battle? This is going to be awesome.

What game was that?

I'm watching a Madworld commercial right now! It's pretty cool. As good as or better than the House of the Dead advert.

Are you watching Xmen: the last stand? Cuz I just saw it to.

Seriously! It was on TNT. They'll probably show it again tonight (XMEN 3 is currently on)

Sega put the Overkill ads on Spike and the Adult Swim block, I'll be sure to check those out and post if I see it on there.

...hate me...
Meh. Game.co.uk made the t-shirt pre-order bonus UK only so I will not day-one this.

Kinda sad since I wanted to "be there" supporting Platinum Games and proper Wii efforts, however I'll wait for a better price. Hopefully I'll still be there month one :p

TNT, that means it should be airing soon on the remainder of the Turner Warner networks (TNT, TBS, Cartoon Network/Adult Swim), and if it picked up the same package the HoTD did it will also be on Universal channels like USA and Sci Fi

Good for Sega to do commercials for this game!!

I don't know how this avatar-making thing works. Its not possible to make mine black and white but the beam katana red is it? maybe slow it down a bit?

Sure there is. You'd just have to use Photoshop to desaturate every color channel except red.

I guess Resident Evil 4.

Although it means nothing, the argument is fundamentally flawed :p
nope. re4 was in progressive. plus i said beautiful meaning 'artistically beautiful', not technically beautiful.

i was talking of odin sphere, apparently.

Not a bad preview, but I'd take it as practical confirmation that there are no 'unlockables' which is disappointing. He dodged a lot of questions in regards to bonus content and replay unlockables, mostly focusing on the raw stuff (eg: explore level to find new items, commentary might not be heard in full, etc).

I hope there are some unlockables that revolve around completing the game or getting X amount of points. Games like this need them.

I can't talk about that, it will be a little disappointing for some I suppose but I was fine with it.

And whining about the 480p is ridiculous, I have a shitty Samsung 28" LCD and I've lost my component cables so I was forced to play with the composite ones and MadWorld looked absolutely awesome.

hot dog, that's great!

Thank you, sir. Using now.

Not sure how difficult this stuff is to do, so ignore if ordorous, but possible to also make his sunglasses/eyes glow red to match the beam? I just think that would be neat. especially if it were more of a darker, blood red
