Capcom has released a transcript of a conference call it held for the firm's Q1 results. The first question asks whether PS3's install base is yet big enough for the release of a whopper like Resident Evil 5.
"We believe that PS3 has finally reached full swing after looking at the success of Metal Gear Solid 4, as well as future large-scale title line-ups," reads the response. "In addition, some reduction in the PS3's price was announced at the 2008 E3, and we can expect its spread to increase by next March when our Resident Evil 5 for PS3 will be released.
"Moreover, as we are not only focusing on PS3, we would also like to spread our supply of software evenly between Wii and Xbox 360 while their markets in the world increase in a similar manner to PS3."
And can a new Resident Evil stand out in an overcrowded horror-action genre? "The Resident Evil series has strong brand power and a special game concept, which builds a new view of the world that you can't find in any other games.
"Capcom is not all that concerned about competition with distribution titles, since the quality of our Resident Evil 5 is also being enhanced. Rather, we are at the stage of devising strategies to expand its sales further."
But what about the firm's stance on games come movies? "The company does not intend to bear any risk in the movie business, so we will basically develop the business through licensing, recording royalty fees as profits.
"However, as with Street Fighter, we may partially finance the projects. Our strategy is to increase sales and gain recognition for our game software through the synergistic effects of advertising and promotion achieved by releasing game software together with movies."
All looking good then Capcom. Download the full thing here. But you'll find the best bits above.
wow, what a waste of webspace. that was a totally pointless article. hows about wasting some space on some reviews. instead of just ripping them from the pages of PSM or XBOXworld hows about you just do them yourselves. it would keep you busy and you wouldn't have to write 200 word essay's on s**te like "capcom think PS3 big now DURRP". you don't even seem to have reviewed the games that came out last week. infact i'll throw one in for you Tiger Woods 09 Nearly the same as last years but with slight improvements. Buy it if you've, (A) not got a golf game, (B) want to play it online, or (C) just got to own every version out there. 7.8 good but not different enough to warrant full purchase. see, easy and more informative than the drivel you've just posted.
if this is "full swing" - with LBP, Killzone 2 and Resistance 2 being about the biggest (and only...) PS3 exclusives around, then I weep for the future.

You may want to put Motorstorm 2, Infamous, God of War 3 and Heavy Rain in that little pipe, before you smoke it. Sounds like a swing that I would like to be on.

Didn't say they were awe inspiring. And I didn't ask - just pointed out my opinion on the matter.

Plus WipEout HD, White Knight Story, FF XIII Versus, SOCOM:Confrontation, MAG, Gran Turismo 5, off the top of my head..
add drakes fortune 2, lost frontier, wardevil, ico 3, Dc Universe, The Agency, Tekken 6, free realms, Afrika, Valkyria Chronicle, possibly LA Noire
To say the ps3 has no exclusives is a bit silly
to be honest out of all those games the only one's that interest me are Uncharted 2 (which is still unconfirmed) Wipeout HD and possibly Tekken 6, if they can sort out the online. plus DC universe will probably be canned before the years out.
Oh just the fact PS3 is in full swing with the only big exclusive on it being MGS4. Pretty impressive hey. Meanwhile the 360 has thrown out all its big 'exclusives' and FPS's (Mass Effect, Halo 3, PGR3, Bioshock etc etc snore) the system is still trailing the PS3 all over the world this year by a massive haemorraghing deficit.
Can you imagine what will happen when PS3 is brought down to the economy price-point of the 360? (sub £200)
Can you imagine the chaos at Gamestation when the geeks get wind of the fact the console's price has been slashed and all those triple AAA exclusives have landed?
There is only one winner in this war, and you didn't believe me did you

I don't know - it seems to be doing fairly well at the moment, certainly looks further into development than Marvel Universe was. I thought that Europe wasn't getting Afrika?
LA Noire is definitely the one I'd be wanting out of that list. It really surprises me that people still love the likes of Tekken and Wipeout - they excite me about as much as Oasis and, just like Oasis; they really needed to stay in the 90's! - mind you, it wouldn't really be a Sony console without them.
There's some decent games coming out, but according to metacritic the ps3 is still trailing the 360 in every genre of game. The ps3 should be ahead by now(i'm not talking boring sales stats here), but it's still miles behind in terms of quality releases out there at the moment(retail and downloable games).
Hopefully within a year or 2 the ps3 can topple the 360 in terms of higher rated games.

i'd heard Afrika was canned in europe as well. at least anyone that wants it can import it. as for tekken and wipeout, your right that it wouldn't be a sony console without them. but tekken really needs a good online side if i'm going to even consider it,especially after the laggy games i've had of dark resurrection. and a proper HD wipeout, running at 60fps should be worth a look. as for DC universe i hope it does come out because we need to see how a MMORPG works on a home console. is Huxley even coming out for the 360 anymore? it was the first one announced but since then nothing. and oasis should have stopped at the second album

Ah, Tekken and Wipeout are all good - just not my cup of tea these days. I do remember spending hours on both Tekken 2 and Wipeout 2097 on the PS1.
DC Universe will be an interesting thing. I saw some previews in a recent Edge and it looks to be moving along quite nicely - hopefully, we will finally get to see how an MMORPG will work on consoles.....I'm pretty sure the floodgates would open after that.
You have to wonder what would happen if Sony or Microsoft got exclusivity on WoW?

Thats fair. None of the above (bar the exceptional-looking Heavy Rain) really interest me, but its a fair comment.

Whilst I don't dispute that those may well be goodn games, they're mostly quite some way off yet (or unconfirmed) so including them in any kind of statement about the PS3 being in full swing seems kind of premature.
And hey, look Suivaloom! I can underline things and put them in different colours too! But it doesn't make my argument any stronger!

thing is though what are the current best and most played games on 360? from my experience its COD4, bad company,grid, soul calibur, guitar hero, rock band. all games on ps3, its all multiplatform these days with one or 2 good exclusives per year.
the old myth about ps3 having no games or lower quality games is outdated
Okay, so the PS3 line-up is quite massive and has a broard range, as people have listed here.
Yet people are posting comments like "Nothing there interests me". Are you even gamers? Do you like anythng?
Okay, so people don't like the large and interesting PS3 line-up. So what's so great about the 360 line-up? Someone care to do a comparison?
Actually, I think the lineups for both consoles are looking pretty great. There's not that much that interests me on the PS3 exclusive lineup- save for a couple like Heavy Rain and Wipeout HD- while the 360 has a handful of interesting titles (again, for me) but there are plenty of great-looking multiplatform releases coming soon for both.

well if microsoft got a hold of it Suivaloom would probably have a mental breakdown and start jibbering to himself,,,, oh wait that already happens. but WoW on a home console with exclusive rights would probably tip the scales in its favor. just as well it'll probably never happen. i'll be keeping an eye on DC universe just to see how it works on consoles but not being the biggest DC fan it doesn't really appeal to me.

So granted, there are a handful of multiplatform titles in there (and I dont know how this compares with the PS3 stats, since I have no idea where I could find them) but the problem with a lot of multplatform games (though not all!) is that PS3 titles still tend to be inferior to their 360 cousins from dodgy ports. Like I said, its not always the case, but its still an issue.

as someone who owns all 3 consoles at the moment i have to say that there's not much on all 3, exclusive wise, that interest me. all the good games are usually multiformat so take that as you will. other than gears 2(which i'm not too bothered about either)and LBP i can't even think of another exclusive this year thats gonna be huge for either console. i'm not counting the wii in that list though because all those casual games are exclusives and most people lap those up.

I think that if you exchanged Halo 3 with Warhawk and Gears with MGO, it would probably look about the same. As for Castle Crashers, I instead opted for The Last Guy at £4.99, from PSN. Really good game, though probably a bit mad for some.
PS3 is much better value than the Xbox 360 and with games like Little Big Planet and being able to play blu ray films, and the bigger storage capacity, improved controller, I can see Sony overtaking Microsoft sales wise pretty soon!

You're probably right there. I wasn't too struck on the Last Guy demo; it seems really fun and unique, but something just didn't sit right with me. Castle Crashers is truly special, though. Its like playing Moonstone or Golden Axe again.

those multiplatform games on that list are more or less identical on both platforms, apart from madden as ive never played it so i dont no. That multiplatform problem is the thing of the psat, and unless you run through still screens with a fine come or have a debug seting on so you can see 1 or 2 dropped frames then you would never notice, untill its brought up by the pretentious jerks at eurogamer

Those mutliplatform titles are, yes, with the notable exception of the Force Unleashed, which has a really appalling PS3 port judging by the demo (which doesn't even support digital sound... sigh). But the multiplatform thing is still an issue with a lot of games, sadly, so I don't think it can be written off as a thing of the past just yet. Soon, though, I hope. I'd actually like to have more of a balanced choice in which console I buy a game for ;D

I played the demo of Castle Crashers and found it to be less than special - but each to their own, an' all that.

what improved controller? its been the same shape since the 90's. it still gives me cramp after extended play. stupid position for the left stick. and the motion sensor hardly ever gets used except for a small gimmick that usually doesn't work. and on what are you basing your great prediction. because you bought one?
I played the demo of Castle Crashers and found it to be less than special - but each to their own, an' all that.
Really? It does take a while to get into, I don't know how long the demo gives you of the game, but I'm completely hooked. It takes me right back to all the old skool hack & slash I used to play on the mega drive, and still play on emulation.

No detriment to the quality of the game, but I was never a hack and slash fan anyway.
I also downloaded the Star wars demo off PSN and whilst I thought the game was a bit tedious, I never noticed any framerate issues. In fact, the best thing going for it was the sharp and smooth visuals. Odd.

Have you tried the 360 version? I played one after the other, (yes, on the same TV) and the comparison was not favourable. The PS3 version is noticeably sluggish in controls and visuals in comparison.

You idiot. Both GTAIV and Soul Calibur 5 are better on the PS3 than the 360.

Boll-locks.
GTAIV 360 does indeed have some pop up. Though the load times are actually about the same between them, the 360 version actually boots into the game faster from startup, theres a nice comparison vid somewhere to illustrate the point. Both versions have horrible framerate issues, though, and the 360 version only just makes up for its weird film grain type filter with its antialiasing, which the PS3 version lacks. But really, it looks pretty mediocre on either console.
SC5 doesnt even exist, but assuming you mean SCIV, the 360 version has no framerate issues that i've ever seen- and I've played both copies extensively, thankyouverymuch- and citing Yoda as a reason for the 360 version being weaker is, lets be honest, a severe case of clutching at straws. Besides, the smart money says both Yoda and Vader will ultimately be available in both versions of the game.

Earth to Suivaloom more like There was a good video comparison on a gaming site rating the 360 and ps3 GTAIV side by side, the 360 version came out top. So come on, get it right!
Soul calibur 5 i've not played, so i can't speak for that. Although i think darth vadar is going to appear as a downloadable character for the game if you're sad enough to actually care.
The 360 has proved in the various reviews that it tends to be the better version when comparing the same game side by side. The majority of games these days are mostly identicle though.

I'm not being funny here, but I've given up on caring about tiny differences. If a game is rubbish, then it is rubbish regardless of any discrepances.

I completely agree- but the difference was very noticeable. I played the 360 version first and quite enjoyed it, even to the extent that I'm now slightly interested in it, and might rent it when it comes out, whereas before I had no interest whatsoever.
When I first played the PS3 version a couple of days later, I wondered just what I had been smoking. The game was dreadful. Firing up the 360 version again, no, it wasn't, it was just the performance and controls on the PS3 port.
And did I mention the PS3 version didn't support digital audio? I'm still bitter about that. Had to quick the damn game, and change the bloody settings to hear anything >.<

honestly berelein, i think if we just ignore him he may have to look at himself and realize he's just an a.r.s.e with a keyboard. there's no difference in both GTA4 and SCIV on either console, unless as someone already said, you dig really really deep. both games are identical running next to each other. the guys just clutching at straws and is a wind up merchant who takes pleasure in trying to prove himself right when all he's doing is proving to us he's not got a brain in his head and talks from where s**te should come. lets just leave him alone, phone the mental hospital and get them to send round a sunshine happy bus to pick him up. the guy is fast becoming the new vercetti.
You idiot. Both GTAIV and Soul Calibur 5 are better on the PS3 than the 360.
* GTAIV on 360 has horrendous pop-up and load-time issues due to lack of hard drive * SC5 on 360 has framerate issues and the seriously unbalanced fighter Yoda.
Boll-locks.
GTAIV 360 does indeed have some pop up. Though the load times are actually about the same between them, the 360 version actually boots into the game faster from startup, theres a nice comparison vid somewhere to illustrate the point. Both versions have horrible framerate issues, though, and the 360 version only just makes up for its weird film grain type filter with its antialiasing, which the PS3 version lacks. But really, it looks pretty mediocre on either console.
SC5 doesnt even exist, but assuming you mean SCIV, the 360 version has no framerate issues that i've ever seen- and I've played both copies extensively, thankyouverymuch- and citing Yoda as a reason for the 360 version being weaker is, lets be honest, a severe case of clutching at straws. Besides, the smart money says both Yoda and Vader will ultimately be available in both versions of the game.
Don't come out with these ludicrous slurs against the PS3 and expect to get away with it scot-free
I wish someone would tell you that about the 360. Oh wait! they have! Repeatedly!
Sorry I'm not having that sh*t.
No. Just no.
Like I promised, I will stand up for myself and the cowardly PS3 owners here who are scared to question disgusting false slurs against the PS3 for fear of being thrown off the site into oblivion.
You said :
PS3 titles still tend to be inferior to their 360 cousins from dodgy ports. Like I said, its not always the case, but its still an issue.
This is a ridiculous fanboy comment of the highest order.
1. The biggest game of the last 5 years, Grand Theft Auto IV, was released on both PS3 and 360. It is generally accepted that the PS3 version is the "superior port" due to the aforementioned problems with loading and pop-up on the 360 version.
2. The recently released multi-platform Soul Calibur IV is generally accepted as being slightly superior on PS3, as a game-breaking character like Yoda in a fighting game IS a big issue. You tell a hardcore fight fan what version on console he'd prefer out the two, and he will tell you the PS3 version is better as Vader is not ridiculously unbalanced.
Now argue with me all day, I think I have embarrassed you yet again and made a mockery of your argument.
Oh here we go the xbots have all sent a PM to each other and told to jump on the lonely PS fan in the forums.
You cowards.
I don't care how many of you there are, you don't intimidate me.
I can't believe you are trying to argue and say PS3 does not boast the superior ports of GTA5 and SCIV.
If some neutral observer came to this forum they'd no doubt agree with me.
It is generally accepted that the PS3 has the superior versions. Now you can carry out your own survey around the council-estate's you live in or whatever, I don't care.

Wow. Guess I got you all riled up about something, eh, since this has suddenly turned into a personal attack on me?
1. Grand Theft Auto IV has, according to your beloved Metacritic, even ratings. So thats a pile of pish; the differences are utterly negligible- to the extent that the only difference (look, i can do Bold too!) I have ever noticed from playing the game on the PS3 and the 360 is the slightly more jagged edges on the PS3 version which lacks Antialiasing. Hardly a big deal. So I'd class both versions pretty much equal here.
2. As pointed out, Yoda is most likely destined to appear on the PS3 as well, and Vader on 360, which will make both versions the same. But considering half the cast of Soul Calibur IV are unbalanced anyway, whats one more into the mix? Its hardly a fair and even fighting game. So once again, moot point. Its a draw, folks!
And thats only two games. Care to mention some more? no? Oh, right. Can we just shut up and leave this well alone now, then, for the sake of everyone?
The only way in which the PS3 is superior to anything is in how it obviously emits that mind-ray which turns most of it's owners into slavering moronic idiots.
Don't worry though, I've come up with a simple fix. Simply keep the base unit enclosed in a lead-lined box and never turn it on.
From what I understand of most PS3 owners they never turn it on except to watch films, but go the extra step and block out the harmfuol rays and see what a difference it makes to your life.
You might even end up going outside and seeing a real girl in the flesh suvivaloom.

Good. You see PS fans, you don't always have to be afraid to accept the pish that is spouted on these forums about your console. Stand up for yourselves and you will reap the rewards.
It is possible to subjugate one like I have managed here with Berelein. *See above posts* Having realised the disgusting hypocrisy and utter fallacy of his claims, he asks for peace knowing continuing a war he can't win is pointless.

no you just say that the PS3 version are superior and expect everyone to take it as gospel. i think if you had a valid point or contributed to an arguement with your eyes open then perhaps people wouldn't round on you like your saying. you just come on here say whatever s**te your gonna say then call everyone an idiot for not agreeing. you are the second coming of vercetti now p**s off before the mods crucify you the same way they did him. if you've got something to say wait 10 minutes then write it down on a bit of paper, take all the fanboy points out, all the slagging other people out, then read it back to yourself. if you've even got half a sentence left i'd be surprised. seriously grow up. you act like a 10 year old who's been told that someone else's daddy can batter your daddy.

"I am far more powerful than you can ever imagine."
I don't know, I can imagine quite a bit.
Ahh, i see what you've done here. Very clever. You've cunningly insulted me to provoke a response, whilst at the same time insinuating that, should I make a response, I would be foolish for going back on my own wishes.
What should I do, what should I do?
Maybe, I should just point out that I don't regard myself as anti-PS3 or pro-360. I consider myself a fairly neutral party. I have thoroughly enjoyed the games I have played on my PS3. I have thoroughly enjoyed the games I have played on my 360. I am quite prepared to accept that the 360 has major hardware flaws with its reliability and reliance on optional peripherals. I am equally willing to accept that the PS3 has so far not pulled its weight in many regards. I am just as willing to pay for the superior xbox live service as I am willing to praise the free PSN service and what it offers. Ackowledging these points does not make me a fanboy of either machine.
It does, however, make you look like a rather narrowminded idiot. Why does it have to be a war? a competition? Why must you be right, and everyone else wrong, when the majority of these discussions are purely a matter of opinion?
Tell you what, fine. I'll back down, if that'll make you happy. Because I cannot be bothered to have this utterly pointless argument any longer.
Don't back down Berelain, you're perfectly entitled to say whatever you want.
This bloke's probably riled up because the news hit recently that the PS3 is a failure becuase Sony have now officially lost more money on the PS3 than they made with the PS2, and more then they'll ever make back and the only thing they can do now is damage limitation by minimizing their losses on the bad venture.
I just regret buying mine, it's a bad investment that'll never pay off. Lucky my housemate bought a Xbox 360 for us to game on this year while we're waiting for the PC heavy hitters top arrive next month.
Hey, I'd like to interrupt this fascinating conversation for a second to ask CVG if they'd perform a few small upgrades on their site, most importantly some media extensions for the forums.
Wouldn't it be amazing if Suivaloom had his own theme tune that played every time he made a post?
My vote's for "Eye of the Tiger" by Survivor.
Anyway, battle on you brave Crusader you, Suivaloom. You know I've got your back all the way.

Goodbye
I'm a neutral owner of both the PS3 and the Xbox360 and I find your comments to be purile at best. In my opinion, Berelein took a mature approach to try and end a discussion that was going nowhere - and yet you retaliate with the utter drivel that you have above.
I'll give you this much - you certainly have certain 'unique' approach to your posts - but from this casual observer's perspective, you come across as a someone with mental care requirements who possibly sits at home masturbating with your own faeces.
If you're happy to continue with an approach that draws those kinds of conclusions then by all means, continue digging your own grave.
As for Berelein - I respect the approach that you took (and took again in your subsequent post) to try and deal with the matter but I imagine you're fighting a losing battle. You might as well just walk away with the moral high ground. You'll never get a sensible answer or discussion.

kinda half apocalypse(best villain ever) and half translation of the first one cause i've been gaming since the mid 80's. sometimes feels like i'm the oldest bugger on here. anyway what about the Inhumaniods or Pole Position. you cannae beat 80's saturday morning cartoons for nostalgia
PS3 is much better value than the Xbox 360 and with games like Little Big Planet and being able to play blu ray films, and the bigger storage capacity, improved controller, I can see Sony overtaking Microsoft sales wise pretty soon!
I have to say the childish nature of the fanboys here is frankly saddening, its like watching school kids squabble over who has the best toy car or pokemon card. Grow the f**k instead of baiting each other of forums you sad pathetic retards.
There's some decent games coming out, but according to metacritic the ps3 is still trailing the 360 in every genre of game. The ps3 should be ahead by now(i'm not talking boring sales stats here), but it's still miles behind in terms of quality releases out there at the moment(retail and downloable games).
Hopefully within a year or 2 the ps3 can topple the 360 in terms of higher rated games.
A year or 2??? how about now:
PS3 has more higher rated games than tthe 360 or wii
And I coudnt agree more I'd rather the PS3 exclusives over the xbox ones now... but in the future i'm sure i will be extremly happy with most of the ps3 exclusives.

Saturday mornings were brilliant as a kid - sitting on the carpet, eating toast and watching No. 73.
I don't really remember Inhumanoids, but Pole Position is a classic - anyone remember Star Fleet? (complete with Brian May theme tune)....Battle of the Planets?
I think you'd be surprised about the age thing - I'm 31 and I know that quite a few others on here are older.....what's the betting that Suivaloom is in his 30's? - we're all far too old for all this fanboy stuff, that's for sure.

Sorry bud, but metacritic beats some guy's blog every time.
I just had a quick look at the metacritic numbers, and blagger had it right first time.
Oh, and I'm pleased for you that the fact that the PS3 version of some golf game scored 7, vs the 6.5 score of the X360 version. Obviously newsworthy...

What an unbiased piece, coming from a playstation site and all.
Saturday mornings were brilliant as a kid - sitting on the carpet, eating toast and watching No. 73.
No.73, that's going back some. Sandy Toksvig or whatever, right? I used to watch all those things - On the Waterfront, Get Fresh, etc etc.
I don't really remember Inhumanoids, but Pole Position is a classic - anyone remember Star Fleet? (complete with Brian May theme tune)....Battle of the Planets?
I have no recollection of Inhumanoids either, but Pole Position (complete with uber-catchy theme tune), Star Fleet (with even MORE catchy theme tune - best puppet show out there too), Battle of the Planets, Jayce and the Wheeled Warriors (which, for reason, had Merlin in) - I watched them all. In fact, I watched anything back in those days
I think you'd be surprised about the age thing - I'm 31 and I know that quite a few others on here are older.....what's the betting that Suivaloom is in his 30's? - we're all far too old for all this fanboy stuff, that's for sure.
I'm 31 too. Some people on this site should know better though. If birthdate was shown, at least we could excuse some of it as them being children. Sadly, I suspect many of them aren't...
ok this is off subject but you guys and CVG NEED TO SEE THIS i dont know where else to post it but it could change game graphics as we know it!!!!!!!!!!
I have to say the childish nature of the fanboys here is frankly saddening, its like watching school kids squabble over who has the best toy car or pokemon card. Grow the f**k instead of baiting each other of forums you sad pathetic retards.
Where did that come from? - c'mon DAEDALUS79, this thread wasn't exactly bad considering some of the other ones that we've seen this week. I'd say most behaved to a reasonable degree.
But, I do accept that I am a sad, pathetic retard - yup, I do like to reminisce about kids programmes from the 80's....my girlfriend calls me the exact same thing on a regular basis

But reading the figures...
Xbox 360 has 374 titles in total, 86 of them received good rankings
Playstation 3 has 122 titles to its name, and 40 have been rated good
so while the ratios stack up in favour of the PS3, the fact remains that, by the bloggers own admission, there are more than twice as many good games on the 360. Way to prove your point, there.

That's the one - I remember Neil Buchanan was on it too, he was a friend of a guy in it called Harry....don't remember much about him, just that he had blonde highlights and a mullet (as was the fashion at the time).
Gilbert the Alien is still my hero! - I still cannot generate the amount of mucas he could....or be quite as offensive.

I'm 31 too. Some people on this site should know better though. If birthdate was shown, at least we could excuse some of it as them being children. Sadly, I suspect many of them aren't...
Well, sometimes you just can't win here. We're kinda forced into adding disclaimers into our posts like 'in my opinion' or 'I'm not a fanboy, but..' - and even then you get attacked. I've also recently found out that I'm on LordVonPS3s' list of 360 fanboys....why? - because I disagreed with him - I know, it really must be a hard life for him.
Sod 'em, these youngsters don't know they're born!
ok this is off subject but you guys and CVG NEED TO SEE THIS i dont know where else to post it but it could change game graphics as we know it!!!!!!!!!!
Saturday mornings were brilliant as a kid - sitting on the carpet, eating toast and watching No. 73.
No.73, that's going back some. Sandy Toksvig or whatever, right? I used to watch all those things - On the Waterfront, Get Fresh, etc etc.

crazy, i'm 31 as well, at least for another month. Get Fresh was what centurions was on if memory serves correct. gaz top and gilbert the alien. classic. battle of the planets was excellent but inhumaniods might well have been past the time i should've been watching cartoons. sure i used to watch it at a mates house who had a wee brother. might be where i remember it from.
That's the one - I remember Neil Buchanan was on it too, he was a friend of a guy in it called Harry....don't remember much about him, just that he had blonde highlights and a mullet (as was the fashion at the time).
Pat Sharpe was always seen mooching about on those shows.
Gilbert the Alien is still my hero! - I still cannot generate the amount of mucas he could....or be quite as offensive.
Yeah, he was hilarious. And grim.
Yeah, me too....I've even gone back to buy some of these things on DVD (yup, I'm that sad)
Don't worry, I have as well. I'm lucky, my girlfriend is/was a huge Thundercats fan, so she got some of those on DVD too. I used to love MASK too, but that got sh*t quick - or was always sh*t, and I didn't realise when I was young.

LordVonPS3 has a list? *shakes head* Where is he nowadays anyway?

Where did that come from? - c'mon DAEDALUS79, this thread wasn't exactly bad considering some of the other ones that we've seen this week. I'd say most behaved to a reasonable degree.
But, I do accept that I am a sad, pathetic retard - yup, I do like to reminisce about kids programmes from the 80's....my girlfriend calls me the exact same thing on a regular basis
Probably because he was ripped into on the last thread, totally unfairly, and he's probably PO'd about it...

Damn straight - I have an enormous Anime collection on DVD, which stems from a 'problem' that I have. Basically, any time I get a little bit too drunk and am left on my own on the internet, I tend to browse on play.com in their anime section....next thing you know, I'm waking up with a receipt for a ton of DVD's - that website is the Devils' work, I tell ya!
Still, can't grumble....got some really good ones along the way!

Anime's great especially some of the older stuff like Overfiend, Ninja Scroll and Ghost in the Shell. need to get some of those on dvd. actually think i've got the Guyver on dvd somewhere, and not the s**tty live action one with David"SolidSnake"Hayter

Hmmm - never really enjoyed the original Appleseed, but it's been a long time since I've seen it...it was on VHS, so it's been quite a few years. I remember our old local Video Store had a few old Manga videos, absolute corkers like 3x3 Eyes, Akira and Appleseed - I really, really wish I could find Demon City / Wicked City on DVD, they were great.
I'm really enjoying Heat Guy J at the moment - bought the box-set a long time ago and never got around to watching it....once that's done, I'm rewatching Beserk and Trigun
true but most cartoons nowadays are s**te barring the more adult ones like fam guy and the venture bros.
I'm really loving Robot Chicken at the moment - couldn't get enough of it in the US, so I had to buy as many DVDs as I could find to bring back.
'The Most One Sided Fights in the World Ever' - that cracks me up.
Robot Chickens good. kinda like a funnier adam & joe show. Harvey Birdman, Attorney at law is probably one of the funniest shows i've seen recently. BIIIRRDD-MANN!

....and Mark Hamill!
I really need to rebuy Guyver - I got my set out in Malaysia, but the dubbing and subtitles are really bad. Guyver was another one of those that I watched on VHS years ago - we loved it....I think those may have been pirate versions, we got a lot of uncut Anime that way......some things you just don't need to see - censorship is sometimes a good thing - a certain anime called 'Guy' springs to mind
I would just like to apologise to everyone. I realise now that I have a serious mental illness that causes me to make irrational and totally ignorant comments without first considering the facts. I also understand now that my previously-beloved PS3 is in fact a machine with some very severe problems, and I appreciate that it is no better or worse than the Xbox 360, which I now believe to be a perfectly decent machine. I would like to apologise for my numerous ignorant and troll-like comments, and I promise that I will never again grace these forums because I realise that I am not capable of making a rational and mature statement. I would also like to announce that I like to wear lace panties. I like the feeling of the lace on my skin. Ooooooooh.
Ok, so he never actually said that. But I have a bottle of bubbly and some party streamers in my cupboard in case he ever does!
The only way in which the PS3 is superior to anything is in how it obviously emits that mind-ray which turns most of it's owners into slavering moronic idiots.
Don't worry though, I've come up with a simple fix. Simply keep the base unit enclosed in a lead-lined box and never turn it on.
From what I understand of most PS3 owners they never turn it on except to watch films, but go the extra step and block out the harmfuol rays and see what a difference it makes to your life.
You might even end up going outside and seeing a real girl in the flesh suvivaloom.
the only slavering morons around here are idiotic xbots who can't stay off the ps3 forums
Wow, CVG is a weird place. I didn't realise that the word 'PS3' in a topic was code for 'Xbox fans unite'. Next, everybody will be waffling on about cartoons on this site!

Mind Ray? Lead boxes? What horses**t is this? What will you blinkered bastards think of next?
Do you mean the rules that are blatantly ignored by some of the mods? I love the mods - seriously, they generally come across as decent blokes. But it frustrates me when they don't enforce the 'rules'. Come on, Suiv has breached those guidelines god knows how many times and has any action been taken against him?

It would surprise you what you can get away with. Remember Vercetti102? He endorsed under age drinking, kids carrying knives and swore like a trooper in his every post, and only got banned for directly insulting a moderator. I think CVG likes to encourage fanboys tho, it keeps their hit rates up

Urgh. VERCETTI. Should be a swear word. That said, it wouldnt surprise me if Suiv actually IS vercetti. I mean, it is pretty much accepted that tam is suiv.

I just wish we could get rid of some of the ignorant trolls on this site (no names mentioned )
Oh here we go the xbots have all sent a PM to each other and told to jump on the lonely PS fan in the forums.
You cowards.
I don't care how many of you there are, you don't intimidate me.
I can't believe you are trying to argue and say PS3 does not boast the superior ports of GTA5 and SCIV.
If some neutral observer came to this forum they'd no doubt agree with me.
It is generally accepted that the PS3 has the superior versions. Now you can carry out your own survey around the council-estate's you live in or whatever, I don't care.
lol, you're nuts, *message to mods - never ban him, he has extreme entertainment value*
Hey, I'd like to interrupt this fascinating conversation for a second to ask CVG if they'd perform a few small upgrades on their site, most importantly some media extensions for the forums.
Wouldn't it be amazing if Suivaloom had his own theme tune that played every time he made a post?
My vote's for "Eye of the Tiger" by Survivor.
Anyway, battle on you brave Crusader you, Suivaloom. You know I've got your back all the way.
If they could do that, could I maybe have the Ulysses 31 theme tune playing every time I made a post?
classic. can i have centurions?
Power.....EXTREME..EME..EME...EME....... What a class show that was.
Yeah, but you're out of luck _Marty_ - ensabahnur (is that a reference to Apocalypse?) has already dibbed it.
You'll have to take Dogtanian and the Three Muskehounds
kinda half apocalypse(best villain ever) and half translation of the first one cause i've been gaming since the mid 80's. sometimes feels like i'm the oldest bugger on here. anyway what about the Inhumaniods or Pole Position. you cannae beat 80's saturday morning cartoons for nostalgia
Saturday mornings were brilliant as a kid - sitting on the carpet, eating toast and watching No. 73.
I don't really remember Inhumanoids, but Pole Position is a classic - anyone remember Star Fleet? (complete with Brian May theme tune)....Battle of the Planets?
I think you'd be surprised about the age thing - I'm 31 and I know that quite a few others on here are older.....what's the betting that Suivaloom is in his 30's? - we're all far too old for all this fanboy stuff, that's for sure.
hey.... now you're talking, star fleet was and is still awesome - barry hercules, shiro hagen, jon lee, x bomber etc.... that was friggin awesome and should be remade into a film, deffo the best saturday morning program when i was a kid!!!
It's funny Star Fleet should come up so much, I managed to track down a complete set of the NTSC VHS tapes a few years back, that somebody had handily transferred to DVD, and have spent the better parts of last week watching them again.
I'd happily recommend the original Macross series as well, in case you've never seen it. I've got the whole damn series three times over on DVD, because they keep releasing the different regional versions in varying states of completeness. (Hopefully, now that I've got the full, uncut, digitally remastered Japanese language originals, there won't be a fourth purchase... Please?)
Cripes - you guys are never happy. So the rules seem to be: Stay completely on topic at all times Don't say anything that isn't positive
Never happy, I'm telling ya.
Thundercats ho!!!!!!
Seroiusly tho, aren't those in the forum rules?
I think a few people need to lighten up a little.
I think we can all agree that the same old tired arguments are getting a wee bit boring these days, but I really don't think that anybody has done anything wrong here....we're just chatting in a nothing thread about Capcom....erm - what was it again?, oh yeah - something about the PS3 doing well.
Are we not allowed to play on this side of the playground?
Lighten up - it's like a witch-hunt in this place recently.

Good. You see PS fans, you don't always have to be afraid to accept the pish that is spouted on these forums about your console. Stand up for yourselves and you will reap the rewards.
It is possible to subjugate one like I have managed here with Berelein. *See above posts* Having realised the disgusting hypocrisy and utter fallacy of his claims, he asks for peace knowing continuing a war he can't win is pointless.
"I am far more powerful than you can ever imagine."
Goodbye
Wow, dude , listen to yourself, it's as if you think the PS3 is a religion or something. Calm down and just enjoy THE GAMES. That's what really matters, not silly sales figures and the like.

Come on now Suiv, it's ok. Come out of the closet!
I'm a little younger than some of the guys here (I'm 25), but I remember Pole Position, Ulysses 31, Thundercats, Mask, He-Man, She-Ra, etc. Funnily enough, me and my housemate had a geek night the other day and spent about 4 hours on youtube watching clips from old cartoons from when we were younger - Teddy Ruxpin, Bummi Bears, the Racoons, New Adventures of He-Man...
And it's not just the cartoons that kicked ass! Remember Knightmare? And then there was Teabag and her magic teapot. And the Storyteller. Kids tv ftw!

That's nothing - I tend to accidentally hit the 'T' before the 'Y' a lot. Not particularly good when you contact a female colleague on MSN and ask:

I literally used to love Knightmare. It was THE TV show for me when I was young, and was almost certainly responsible for me starting roleplaying... Yes, I am a geek... The Raccoons was also really cool. Odd, but cool.
I recently bought my girlfriend Storyteller - she digs it.

Yeah, Knightmare was cool. Funny thing is that the memory of Knightmare just reminded me of something else that was on the BBC on Friday afternoons after school (probably about the same time that Knightmare was on ITV) - does anyone remember 'Count Me In' with that totally over-enthusiastic dancer?....I don't think anyone liked that, I know that we used to all sit on the sofa in disgust when it was on.
Storyteller? - was that the programme that had that intro music with the guy and the Lute?
'I'm the storyteller and my story must be told...' (or something like that..)
Dont you mean Gummi bears? That cartoon was awesome and the girlfriend and I was just talking about that show the other day. Gummi bears,....bouncing here ,there and everywhere...etc etc
Bah! A guy in the first company I worked for had the *entire* Gummi Bears theme tune as his new email notification sound effect...
Storyteller? - was that the programme that had that intro music with the guy and the Lute?
'I'm the storyteller and my story must be told...' (or something like that..)
Heh, no The Storyteller You're thinking of a badly dubbed, German show. Name escapes me, but I remember being pretty poor.
is it The Boy Who Lost His Laugh (UK) (dubbed version) AKA : The Legend of Tim Tyler http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Boy_Who_Lost_His_Laugh
Oh....Your....God - I'd totally forgotten about that - he traded it for the ability to win any bet. I remember the scene where he bet a load of other kids that an elephant would come around the corner and do a handstand (or something like that) - he won a load of Smurfs off them.
That programme was awful! - just like Mika, anyone remember that?...it was about a kid that took a reindeer across Europe from Lapland and his 'various' adventures.
Gotta say I do actually find ol Suiv quite funny. I will even go so far as to say that at times he comes close to matching the dizzying heights of my own incisive humour.
He is not Tam though - that I am quite sure of. Suiv understands grammar, punctuation, and expression whilst Tam unfortunately exhibits no grasp of any of these concepts.
And k109 is very likely to be Vercetti IMHO. I have arrived at that conclusion through observation of his reactions to anything anti-Sony. He seemed not to be able to comprehend my decision to trade the p**s3 for the god box.
