Namco's new wave of arcade games, Pacman CEDX being the first.

am i the only one who really hates it when people take pixels, seperate them, and apply like a billion glow filters to make it look "retro"? i mean either update the graphics or do pixelart you dont have to make my eyes fucking bleed

[Vipershark]

i actually kind of like it if it's done right


but yeah, it is overdone

thank god there will be skins

When I get it, at least the glow filters won't bother me to death when I turn it on vector mode.

when i read the new title i though "what, namco is going to make arcades?"

then i remembered the arcade industry has been dead for the last 10 years...

So 360 and PS3 gets this and the Wii gets... Pac-Man Party... Great.

This looks amazing; wish I had a 360 if just for this. And new METRO-CROSS? Heck yes; that was a terribly underrated game.

Probably because namco assumes that all veteran gamers won't have a Wii, so it'd end up being a loss for that area.

Plus I don't even think the wii could handle this one. maybe a port of the first pacman championship but this? nope.

[Vipershark]

How couldn't it?

I mean, I understand the Wii having last gen specs, but this is PACMAN.

[DioShiba]

IDK, maybe it can. But it has like 5 skins and a huge clusterfuck of ghosts.

that's kind of why I'm a tad skeptical that it will run as good on the Wii compared to 360/PS3

[Koopaul]

Wow you really think the Wii is that weak?

Yeah, I totally agree. The Wii is a weak piece of shit.

[Cobalt Blue]

nowdays you just buy a wii to either gift it to your elderly mother, your kids or to play tatsunoko vs capcom.

and thats about to fall apart as soon as mvc3 rolls in.

[Vipershark]

the wii is a little more powerful than a gamecube
the gamecube is powerful as fuck, relatively speaking

it can definitely handle a pacman game

it can handle dead rising, which can have up to 1000 zombies onscreen at once

the ds could probably play this
not even joking

First decent gameplay video I've found thus far. Looks pretty dang sweet; I'd be interested to know how the extras are compared to the original PMCE.

[Vipershark]

holy shit that video was intense

I like the new bomb system and time meter for power pellets.

The only thing I don't like about CE is how there's no "original" mode that's level based. Everything is "eat the fruit on one side to overwrite the other side".
