Im an Angry PS2 Englishman, read for my rant.
« on: March 28, 2001, 10:52:11 AM »
Well I checked out http://www.eb.uk.com and to my supprise the release date listings had been updated meaning they are probably correct, anyway heres the bad news...

I wanted to get Onimusha assuming it was coming in April and the only really must have title, well it isn\'t coming in april.

So what can we get...

Shadow of Memories 30/03/01 - but is it really good ?
Gun Griffon Blaze 06/04/01 - delayed from the 30th but is meant to be fun but is delayed.
Crazy Taxi 27/04/01 - Just a dreamcast rehash but should be good.
Red Faction - May the 1st now, delayed.
Onimusha - THIS IS THE BAD NEWS!!!! 06/07/01 I mean what the hell nearly every american and japanasse person will have completed the sequal be time we get the original.

Don\'t get me wrong im pleased with the PS2 but really in this so called time of the games drout ending it appears its only for Americans and Japanasse and us Europeans are waiting yet again...

I suspected Onimusha would be out this month, and Red Faction would be earlier but no :(

Either way i suppose ill be getting Shadow of memories now, anonying none the less esp when these games are really just fillers, i mean onimusha and shadow of memories are both adventure and i wouldnt choose SOM over Onimusha if Onimusha was on the shelf.

DID I ALSO SAY GT3 DELAYED AGAIN, now July the 1st for us europeans rather than June, this is a joke, i don\'t care how good the game is, all i can say is it better have screen centring options, 60hz mode AND no slowdown what so ever!!!!

Any other European ps2 owners beginning to get ticked off ?

Crazy Taxi in April???? Really? Dang, and I\'m all outta moolah.

I thought Onimusha was right around the corner, but seems like it fell into a manhole or something :(

And yes, for GT3, it is better having screen centring options, 60hz mode and no slowdown what so ever. I personally don\'t care if they work on the game till early 2002, since that\'s when I get out from the army.

Yeah, I\'m pissed about the RF delay, and it was slated for an early May release here in the US.  Expect that European one to slide back if that\'s the case.

Anywho, who knows, they may be beefing it up for the Brits and Euro-guys!  You may get a better game! Uhhhh.....ummmm....or not.... :(

Sorry bro...

Oh come on now us Brit\'s got a hold of

ZOE and the Metal Gear Solid demo

plus
Gran turismo 3 Demo before people in the US.

So you cant complain about that.

Hmmm Crasy Taxi out soon might get that one next, to ease the pain of waiting on Onimusha .

Hey Shadow of Memories  was rated far higher than ZOE in every review i read, i i think ZOe is one of the best games i have played, so it could be worth it\'s money.

Yeah well thats cause ZOE sucks and people only buy it for the MGS2 demo overlooking the fact that ZOE is 6 hours and has something like 2 enermies :). Nah im kidding. Actually i\'ve read shadow of memories looks good too and its an interesting idea so it might not be too bad, i would juist like the same choice as the americans thats all.

Secret Eidos PS2-exclusive? You mean Herdy Gerdy?!

You forgot to mention the sequel to Timesplitters.

If Timesplitter 2s level-ed will support the HD, than we will finally be able to save more than 2-4 levels on at once without needing to buy a new memory-card.

Maybe there will be tool to create model-skins or new models, too. Would be awesome, but doubt it!

Can\'t think of any other games...

Reading up on Shadow or Memories, it looks cool, anyone know what the game length is like, none of the reviews i\'ve read mention it ?

Im looking forward to project eden the most, Wipeout probably be good but we\'ve seen it before, the getaway could be a flop (i hope it isn\'t but it has potentional to be a flop) and project eden is already looking great. Its also my sort of game, I like most games but action games with adventure elements are espacally cool, ala Silent Hill, Resident Evil, Half Life etc.

I\'ve read some previews about Shadow of Memories, but it seems like it is a comparatively short game. (As long as a Resident Evil or something like that.)
