Late Night Consoling

Oct 02, 2001 10:30pm CST tags: Bungie, Sega, Games: Console
Good news for those that really, really don't want an Xbox but still want the new Sam & Max game: the official Infinite Machine site says it's in development for "next gen consoles." Note the plural there.
  • Can't say this is too surprising: according to Video Senki, Square has closed down their movie studio, after Final Fantasy failed to do any better in Japan than it did here in the US.
  • One thing Square is actually moving ahead with is their Disney RPG Kingdom Hearts, and new shots from the game (scanned from a Japanese magazine) are up at The GIA.
  • Here are some screenshots from Pinball of the Dead, Sega's latest crack-addled entry in their House of the Dead franchise.
  • Cube.IGN has posted the Japanese commercial for Pikmin, the upcoming GameCube game which could quite possibly be Miyamoto's strangest to date.
  • Halo.Bungie.org has a new screenshot from Halo online, which is available in several super high-resolution versions, none of which are 640x480, which is of course the resolution the Xbox version will run in when viewed on a standard television.
  • Pocket.IGN has reviewed Final Fight One, the handheld version of a franchise nobody expected to see again.
  • The official WRATH site has gone live, featuring tons of screenshots from this Xbox title from The Collective (who are also making Buffy the Vampire Slayer for the console).
  • Warren Spector sent an update on the PS2 port of Deus Ex around to a few sites...here it is at GameSpot.
  • Also at GameSpot is an update on Rogue Leader: Rogue Squadron II, which is a lock for the American GameCube launch.
Console game of the evening: Panzer Dragoon Saga for the Sega Saturn. Is this the greatest RPG ever made? Yes. Yes it is.
