Well, Indigo Prophecy was profitable enough that Quantic Dream went on to make Heavy Rain, so Heavy Rain's probably gonna do at least decent. Besides, who cares if it's a cult classic? That doesn't make it a bad game. You're making it sound like BECAUSE it's a cult classic you wouldn't bother with it...

Which game did it freeze on? And is it consistent? Did you try it again? Cause it happens with some games very rarely.

Sidenote: When I went to type "Did you try it again" I accidentally typed, "Did thy try it again" Weird...

What does thoust speak of, Lord Hazard?

I need to fix my PS3's connection; I haven't been online in a while...

O that this too, too solid flesh would melt... ninja
Frankly, as far as Hamlet quotes go, I like that one better than "To be or not to be"

Just started downloading the demo now... Can't wait to play it. biggrin I agree that it'll probably be a cult classic, but that's not a bad thing. Like you said, look at Shenmue. ...Okay I can't say that, I have yet to play Shenmue. I'm a horrible person, I know. cry

But yeah, that, beat BioShock 2, still playing NMH2 (there are some cool surprises! biggrin ), and then gonna play the demo when it's downloaded even though I already preordered the game. Hoping I'll enjoy it. xd Then the RE5 DLC on Wednesday... way too much going on lately. @_@ And I think yeah, Infinite Space and Red Steel II will be awesome. AVP3 not so much. razz  

[King of Paradise]

Infinite Space?

Grr. Now I have a major problem with the Ghostbusters game. After I beat the Time Square level and returned to the base, I turned the game off. When I resumed my career, it skipped a part of the game and thrusted me right into the next level! The hell! I could be missing something, dammit! (And from the looks of it, definitely am).

This game's saving function is horrible. I have no idea whenever I hit a checkpoint...I guess in the end, it's just a minor conveniance...

But still, never ran into a problem like that before.  

[Biohazard EXTREME]

Well, I'm not saying it's gonna become a greatest hit, but still, there's niche fanbases, and there's like... Just above niche. Indigo Prophecy did see the light of day, I was actually surprised how many people actually played it. Yeah, it totally felt like it was gonna be an extreme cult classic, but it actually got quite a bit of exposure. Like I said, not exactly mainstream, but definitely profitable. Heavy Rain will probably be in the same boat. I doubt it's gonna flop.
From what I read about Shenmue it's not so much that it flopped, it's just that it had a ridiculous budget. From what I read, every single Dreamcast owner would've had to buy two copies, in order for them to break even. Which isn't gonna happen obviously. So pretty much that it sold alright, just not nearly enough to make a profit.
Indigo Prophecy probably didn't have nearly that big of a budget, and I'm pretty sure Heavy Rain doesn't either. I mean, it looks like a remarkable game, but I just think it's because the guys at Quantic Dream knew what they were doing. As I recall, Quantic Dream also doubles as a special effects company in France.

@Chase: Never run into a problem like that when I was playing... That's odd. Just save at the Headquarters, after the scene, and before getting into Ecto-1. That's what I did. Whenever you get back to HQ and approach a certain area, a cutscene will play out. After that cutscene you start the next mission by entering Ecto. You can save right before that.
Also, be sure to check out the answering machine, there are some funny messages on it. As well as the Vigo painting.

I can't afford a ps3 or a 360,
so I'll stay outta this. o.o;

[Biohazard EXTREME]

Well, Stranger, Chase, and anyone else who gives a crap, I just released my list of Best of PS2, which you can check out in my journal. As you know, I love comments.  

[Canas Renvall]

Just beat No More Heroes 2, and I was watching the credits.. and hell, I was blown away by the people who were in it. I didn't even recognize the voices of Yuri Lowenthal, Jennifer Hale, Quinton Flynn, and Paul Eiding. xd And even more surprising is who Quinton Flynn plays (no, it isn't Travis razz ). I didn't even know that... it's awesome. biggrin

However, another cool thing... The guy who did do Travis's voice, Robin Atkin Downes:

1. is British! xd
2. has a lot of talent with various types of voices. Some of his "oh-so-small" merits:

-Young and Middle Lorenzo in Haunting Ground
-Hiro Kasai in Killer7
-Navarro in Uncharted 1
-Tenzin in Uncharted 2
-Captain Slag in the Ratchet and Clank Future series
-Kazuhira Miller in the upcoming Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker
-Faldio Landzaat in Valkyria Chronicles (AMAZING game, by the way, go play it!!)

And I guess you could say the biggest one... Having gone back and played it, I'm really surprised I didn't catch it sooner. He's the Prince in Prince of Persia: Warrior Within, and it really sounds similar to Travis. Check it yourself! razz

So yeah. That just got me so pumped when I saw all those names. xd Awesome game, btw, really funny as expected. All I'll say to Chase... Get ready for the dream sequence. You will "Wtf" and laugh. And of course, murder. smile

Edit: Oh and uh... No homo, Robin isn't exactly bad to look at.
 

[Biohazard EXTREME]

I heard that Akira Yamaoka did one or two tracks for NMH2's soundtrack. That's all I have to say about that game. I'll probably check out the PS3 version of NMH1 when it comes out.  

[King of Paradise]

Hey guys. So, I have to start producing music for my movies, so I've been experimenting with some music making software.

Magix Music Maker 16 is ok, but it's not very good for producing wholy original songs, so I won't be using that. But, I did use it enough to make a song.

Whatev

What do you think? It's my first song...

I used the demo version of the software to make it, so sorry if it seems generic...I was very limited with my resources. I also didn't really play around with the sound modification.

That being said, I did work my a** off with this song. I tried to make it as unique as possible, so I took a long time to rip sound effects from all the samples provided and use them to a uniqueish effect.

Also, check out my channel name...I think some of you will get a laugh out of my moniker.

Lastly, I read your list Bio. I will comment on it in a little while. 3nodding  

[Biohazard EXTREME]

Not bad. Sounds like something by the Immortals. Which is like, early 90's dance music, which, frankly, is a hell of a lot better than most House and Dance music that's being made today.
So, I guess what I'm saying is, you alone are better than the entire modern Euro-trashy House music industry.

I don't really know any good music making software on Windows. Acoustica Beatcraft is the best, if all you're looking for is a drum beat. Other than that... Well, I hear a lot about Fruity Loops, but never actually could get the hang of it myself.

The best, easiest, most accessible music software I ever used is definitely Garage Band on Mac OS X. But unless you got a Mac, that won't do you much good.


Now, I can't speak 100% on everyone's behalf, since I'm only one man, but I'm sure that depending on your project, my band wouldn't mind lending some of our music to you. But that won't be for a while, we're not quite at recording stages yet.

90s dance music. Spot on. Exactly what I was going for lol. It's my personal favorite period of dance music.

I also wanna be like Justice, though, and infuse rock with my dance music.

Yeah, I'm probably gonna end up using Fruity Loops myself.

With it, I hope to achieve the First Blood theme remix I've visualized in my head for years now lol.

I would so appreciate having your bands music in my movie. My friend told me that that's the best way to go.  

[Biohazard EXTREME]

Well, I'll talk to them.
My original band fell apart actually. We couldn't find a Bassist and then the drummer lost interest. But the guitarist has another band and he's been having problems with the vocalists they've been getting, so he invited me to sing for that band instead. And they've been together for a while, already have like 5 songs created, so it's a great start.
