Silent Hill goes to the silver screen
Jolly Rogers replied to Jolly Rogers's topic in Anime or Science Fiction
Kubrick's dead. Stephen King doesn't direct. i just hope whoever they do get to do this will not screw up the creepy feeling and atmosphere of the games. More likely than not, they'll turn this into another one of those mindless action flicks with laughable gore/makeup and weak attempts at jokes. Did I just summarize the RE movie? B) Silent Hill works well in an interactive medium, I am not so sure they can sustain the creepiness and tension for 90 minutes or longer as a film. -
The PS2 version is vastly inferior to the DC version graphically. This includes the bleached-out colors, poor explosion and transparency effects and probably more specifics I can't remember for now. While I have never seen the arcade version, many who did claimed the DC version was a perfect port except for a slight lag. This link should bring you to loads of screen shots from the arcade version. Edit in: click on another link when you've used the link above to go to IGN's ad page.

It already did... in Lost War Chronicles. Thanks to the retards in charge of Bandai America, this game (along with the PS2 edition of Giren's Greed) was never brought over like other PS2 Gundam games. Lost War Chronicles sports a vastly improved Journey to Jaburo engine. I have a feeling that Encounter in Space will probably suck like Journey to Jaburo (since these games are made by the same developer) and a year later they'll release a new game with a fine-tuned engine (like how Lost War Chronicles was a tweak on the Journey to Jaburo engine) which again will be a Japan-only title. Ever notice how when a Gundam model kit gets released in the U.S., they got a new or better version in Japan?

Resident Evil: Apocalypse website is up!

Since when did STARS become part of Umbrella Corporation?! That's like saying Snake and Raiden are members of the Patriots... -
Won't be long before someone posts those horrible photos again...

Silent Hill goes to the silver screen
Jolly Rogers replied to Jolly Rogers's topic in Anime or Science Fiction
Based on the original. You might want to tell your friend to check out Silent Hill 3 and revise his script. 3 directly ties to the first game and basically wraps all unfinished business up, explaining all that were left unexplained. -

Go to GameFAQs.com, you can find plenty of plot guides posted there that explain things well. -

I have to agree. The Resident Evil movie was only good if your age is in the single digit range, or if you saw the movie with that mindset. David Cronenberg would be a great director if they are going for the vibe of Silent Hill 2. Fincher was great with Se7en, but his latest (Panic Room) didn't do much for me. -
Kill Bill good, Cabin Fever bad...
Jolly Rogers replied to JKeats's topic in Anime or Science Fiction
LOL, that was unexpected. Let's hope Underworld doesn't turn out as overhyped as Cabin Fever... although I haven't been hearing good reviews. -

Double post... NEVER use the BACK button on MW. -
ALIEN Quadrilogy box set details
Jolly Rogers replied to bsu legato's topic in Anime or Science Fiction
Hey, Ian Holm is a great actor. Long before he was even a hobbit. I'm not so sure I should buy this set. How do I know 5 years or so from now there won't be another "special collector's set"? You spoke my mind! Fox loves repackaging their movies every couple of years... STAR WARS anyone? The first trilogy must hold the world record for the most versions of home videos ever released. -

Was your friend's script based on the second game, the first and/or third game, or an original story? -

Jolly Rogers replied to JKeats's topic in Anime or Science Fiction
That flew right over my head. I am not planning to see CF, can you explain it a bit even if it meant spoiling the movie? -
That's a classic! Good one!

It's official... too bad the production company is the same one that made the Resident Evil movie

LOL! Master Yoda - "Master Windu. Carry himself a Jedi must be." Master Windu - "Huh?" Master Yoda - "Large is the afro that covers your hair." Master Windu - "Right on......prooooooooper." Feel the Force, mofo!

That's scary, he actually does bear a resemblance to Mark Hamill / Luke Skywalker now.

Does this mod chip allow you to watch Region 2 DVDs and play Japanese PS1 games too?
-
The problem with modding a PS2 is that your mod chip will eventually become obsolete - Sony keeps coming out with new lockout schemes that detect new mod chips and lock the games out. Even if you install the latest chip, it will eventually become unable to play new games. Sony has been doing this since the PS1 days and they haven't stopped doing that. This means you have to upgrade your chip every couple months, all that re-soldiering will eventually trash your PS2. Even if you rely on "backups", not all new titles are guaranteed to become available that way. These bootlegs are cheaply made without any QA and therefore tend to be harsh on the laser when you get a bad copy. I've seen how unsmoothly some of these played on a friend's modded unit. It'd take forever to load a level while the motor makes unsavory noise.

How do capture PS screenshots
Jolly Rogers replied to hellohikaru's topic in Anime or Science Fiction
Some Macs have built-in A/V input ports and you can just hook your PS up, open the Apple Video program from the Apple Menu, and do a freeze frame or even QuickTime movie capture that way. -
The "New OVA" refers to the newly animated episodes exclusively available for people who bought the TV series on home video. It is called "new" in order to differentiate itself from the "old" OVA series that came out before the TV series. The "new" OVA series is about 10 years old...

LMAO! Is that his REAL name? That's George Lucas in Spanish.

Wow, Smith's role just keeps getting bigger and bigger. Maybe they'll make an Agent Smith trilogy.

Won't happen any time soon. Bandai only made the MG Labors because Patlabor was being released on home video at the time and the 3rd movie was coming out. If you haven't noticed, except for Gundam, Bandai's marketing strategy has been to make some new models or toys whenever an anime gets released on DVD these days. You've got the SOC Zambot 3 coming out to promote Zambot 3's DVD release. SOC Evas to support the Renewal DVD Box, HG L-Gaim and Dunbine kits came out when these series came out on DVD in Japan... Since there's no new Patlabor production or home video releases on the horizon, we won't be seeing any PG or new MG labors for a while.
