General News 3: It Isn't Over Yet!

[rg4619]

Chaos;Head and 11Eyes announced for XBox360. For now, it seems that 5pb is firmly committed to the platform.

[Dagger]

What, already?? If they're adding stuff to Chaos;Head, I might have to get it. That sure is fast for both of them, though....

[GreatSaintLouis]

Hopefully these projects don't delay their work on the 360 ports of Dodonpachi Dai Ou Jou Black Label or Ketsui...

[Narumi]

So now it's going to be Aquaplus vs. Prototype x 5pb...

It's only been announced, and it's still a year off, so it won't be surprising to see new content a year from now when it nears release. It'll probably coincide with the anime somehow.

AFAIK, that's a different division of 5pb, so the projects probably won't conflict.

Am I ever.

TBH I have a feeling that it's somewhat likely to get shoved off on the lazy half of Madhouse. But the source material is such that it'll def. turn out interesting, even if it's not a great or even good adaptation. I really hope they give it more than 1 cour.

asmodean has put up a temporary page for his reverse-engineering works. Apparently, his previous (free) host, Rakuten, pulled the plug without warning.

Thanks to Google for the tip.

There's now a trial version out for GIGA's latest work, Sakaagari Hurricane...

Anyone have any opinions on it yet?

[Stranger]

not anime news, but news never the less (well to the 2nd hand game market)

EA to combat used game sales with online content & services

I don't know when they are going to realize that there is an economy that revolves around 2nd hand goods!

[rg4619]

Even small publishers like Stardock are against the resale of games (anyone who buys one is unable to download updates), so this is something that's been brewing for a while now.

I didn't know Madhouse had a lazy half....
I hope not XD I'm looking forward to it too, more so because Madhouse is in on it.

Aoi Shiro, Success's formerly-PS2-only follow-up to Akai Ito, is getting a PC release! Complete with extended scenarios, new and redrawn CG (all also converted to high-res), and the appearance of characters from Akai Ito! Release date is set for November 11th.

It's about damn time, IMO, and I hope Akai Ito won't be far behind.
