Otherwise, PC gets a GTA Trilogy.

PSP gets a new Atlus game, some kind of Steambot Chronicles game.

Call of Juarez for the HD systems/pc.

New Megaman Starforce for NDS.



I guess that's it.

DevoutlyApathetic

MvC2 got pushed way back I believe.

...and Kotaku agrees.

Fig-D

Yep, http://www.1up.com/do/newsStory?cId=3174978 . End of July.

slash000

Fuck, I thought it was end of june, not end of july. or whatever.

DAMMIT.


At least we get BlazBlue.

Sollah

Is the GTA trilogy gonna be put on steam and such? I never played any GTA games besides GTA IV, and that was ok, but I really enjoyed Saint's Row 2 and heard it was similar to the older GTA games. I kind of wanna try them out and getting all three for $30 sounds like a nice deal to me.

Dodge Aspen

What's the word on these latest Potter games? Some of the earlier ones were okay. Also, Call of Juarez could be awesome. We'll see, I guess.

Peewi

I believe that Street Figther IV comes out for PC in Europe this friday.

cj iwakura

July 1st is the US date for SFIV PC also, last I was aware.


And if that's the case, we need a PC game on thread.

Will it support Steam?

It'll be available on Steam, but it'll use Games For Windows Live for online functions.

According to Wiki, the NA date is July 7, but I still thought I'd mention that it's out in Europe this week.

Wait wait wait wait


Half the places I check have Street Fighter IV for PC coming out

July 7


the ohter half say


July 1



WHICH IS IT??!?!

slash000

Ok just did some research:

http://www.capcom-unity.com/street_fighter/blog/2009/05/08/the_street_fighter_iv_pc__the_options

Obviously, Street Fighter IV PC will be available at retail on a normal Games for Windows DVD at retail for $39.99 (shipping in the US on July 7th).

also

We’ve mentioned before Street Fighter IV PC will be available for digital sales at a variety of places (same price $39.99/€39.99). You’ll pretty much be able to take your pick of vendors if you want it digitally: Capcom.com’s estore, Steam, Impulse, Direct2Drive, Metaboli, Gametap, Nvidia.com, GamersGate and others to be named later.

Blaaaaaaaaaaazbluuuuuuuuuuuuuue.

Get hype!

Should get my copy today if fedex aren't lying bastards.

Bartholamue

Capcom.com says they're shpping copies out on July 5th through their online store. that's when I'm getting my two copies, anyway.

taliosfalcon

greeble

It's a game, and there are bots, and they run on steam.

Look, at least it doesn't go by the Japanese title: Bumpy Trot.
That right there sounds like a disease horses get.

Bartholamue

BlazeBlue will be so bought by me. I just hope the premium edition isn't hard to find/a bullshit pre-order bonus.

Brainiac 8

Blazblue looks fun, as I have always preferred 2-d fighters to the alternative, might give that a rent.

Nothing for me to buy this week though, which is good for a broke bloke like me.

Antihippy

So apparently Kof Maximum impact 3 comes out this week for the PS3?

I didn't even know that there's a maximum impact 3.

edit: actually I'm not really sure right now.

Might be bullshit.

edit: Most likely bullshit.

Cherrn

It's bullshit. The game doesn't exist.

Antihippy

Kotaku!!!!!! :x

Which is strange seeing that gamespot and IGN lists it with next to no information, but then again, it's gamespot and ign...

Worms Armageddon 2 (as in a direct sequel to the original Armageddon) this week on XBLA! Also coming later to PC and PS3:



Worms Armageddon 2 trailer

Only 800 funbucks too! And this will tickle fighting-game fans already high on Garou—there's a possibility the second game this week is King of Fighters Ultimate Match 98.

Idoliside

Armageddon 2 is coming to PC? With online gameplay yes? yay!

Brainiac 8

Luner: If I buy that you and I had better play a few games. :x

Oh, I'll be buying it and playing, don't worry! The original Armageddon saw me through pretty much my entire four years in college. I had heard a lot of people saying the original XBLA Worms was really feature-light, which is why I held off on buying it, but this seems to have a shit-ton of stuff from Armageddon (Super Sheep! Holy Hand Grenade! Ninja Roooooope!) and extras to boot, and it's still only $10, which is what the original went for at first (I think the original is now $5? I could be wrong.)

The title makes more sense with it being a sequel for Worms for XBLA that also has stuff from WA.

Crap, I think you're right, actually: I double-checked Team17's announcement and it's actually "Worms 2: Armageddon."

Worms 2: Armageddon builds upon the fine heritage of the cult 1999 hit ‘Worms Armageddon’ by massively extending the feature set of the original, award-winning WORMS and including the majority of the cult WORMS ARMAGEDDON feature set as well as a raft of exciting new weapons and game content, modes and extensions (many of which featured in the highly rated ‘Open Warfare 2’ editions)

Dodge Aspen

I fucking love the Worms games. I had a blast playing for SNES with the multitap back in the day. Should be great online.

brynstar

I bought Call of Juarez 2. I'm stunned/thrilled that it actually got made. It's pretty neat. You shoot dudes, and they usually are wearing hats.

Hensler

Anybody know anything about this "Infernal: Hell's Vengeance" game that came out this week? The $40 price tag and the fact that I never heard of it make think it's going to be utter crap, but the premise sounds fun and the screenshots look good.

It's a port of a two year old PC game called Infernal, so you can look up reviews for that as it's the same game. I played Infernal, it was okay, but mostly just a mediocre/average third-person shooter with some interesting powers.

If the 360 version is a good port, 40 bucks is probably about the right price for it, though if you have a decent PC, I bet you could find that version for much cheaper.
