Why look at their secrets when you can go up there and steal the system. 8)

They've got some set up in stores in the US for poeple to try and I have to say I hate the metroid controls.

Then you probably hate kb and mouse control for FPS too.

 

[Xenus]

No, they're fine I just couldn't get anywhere because I couldn't find out how to fire the gun :?

HEY! If you people wanna bitch about your own preferences, do it somewhere else!

This is my VIP thread!!!

Well who's bitching now 8)

Did you try the thumb strap?

How was the responsiveness to movement/aiming (regardless if you had the thumb strap - I'm concerned about input lag in general)?

Who me?
Didn't touch the thing.

 

[Xenus]

I didn't see a strap. It was mounted on a pedistal so I had to kneel down to even mess with it. The controls seemed responsive though the touch screen was only used to change it the rolling form and move around in that form. I only messed with it for five minutes cause i got annoyed at the fact i could't figure out how to fire the gun thus move on to the next area. I died twice trying to just roll over the enemies.

Who owns Atari now? Ubisoft?

Strange hearing that there are Atari offices in Europe. This is speaking as someone who's been to Atari Games (not the same company which made the 2600) offices in Milpitas.

Well there you go. You can't really "fire" in ball mode. You can drop bombs though...

the french company infogrames bought atari and changed its name to atari.

it might explain why so much bad movie-license-based videogames are now published by atari.

Actually, and just for the record, Hasbro Interactive bought Atari, then Bruno Bonnel's Inforgrames bought Hasbro Interactive.

 

[London Geezer]

Yep. Atari owns Atari now, cause Infogrames decided to keep Atari's unarguably more notorious name after buying it out. Nice move if you ask me. Now all they need to do is release a decent game.

 

[PC-Engine]

Agreed, keeping the Atari name was a wise move.

 

[London Geezer]

Agreed, keeping the Atari name was a wise move.

Keeping LOTS of movie licences was a great move too, for them. Unfortunately, not for us.

Atari are saints, they've brought Ikaruga to the western (gc) world.

Probably by mistake, they must have thought it was the japanese version of Kill Bill. Imagine their surprise when they say it had no polygon rendered Uma Thurman...

[nerdysnottymode] Ikaruga was release by Atari way before Kill Bill [/nerdysnottymode]

Ooops... Aww my funny post is not funny anymore!! Party pooper!!!

 

[Xenus]

No, I wasn't trying to fire in ball mode the only other button on the touch sreen seemed to do nothing so when I couldn't fire I just tried to roll over them which only ended up getting me killed.
