I'll actually probably need this when I move; Not sure if there's a LAN port in my new room.

Cool! I didn't even know that developers could release their tools, especially for a big game like this.

This isn't the first time Valve has done this, they release the source of Alien Swarm for example.


Many developers release their tools, Bethesda for example.

In Topic: why does my pokemons think it's winter?!

It doesn't correspond to real seasons, it's determined on what month it is. I think it changes every month or so.

not being able to move and shoot at the same time adds to the 'horror' aspect.

That could apply to Revelations. Mercenaries is just a fuckogram of Black/Spanish people (very racist from Capcom) attacking you.
There's no horror aspect in this. But it does add some desperation.

Yeah, RE5 went from sorta racist to really racist pretty fast. Killing natives in huts isn't cool :/. Pretty much what I'm saying, is that the controls are essentially the same as when RE4 was on the gamecube. Bitching that the controls suck because there isn't another another stick to be totally redundant, is silly.

'Portability is often irrelevant"

I find it humorous that you're saying this for a portable game console.

I can't bring the 360 on vacation, or to school, or to a friends house without some serious luggage. You pay the price for portability.

Additionally, I'm expecting future shooters to use the touchscreen for aiming, much like Metroid Hunters did. (Mercenaries even might... you never know.)


The touch screen for shooters was utter shit. It cramped your hand up and wasn't all that accurate in the end. Dual analog was better. Mouse and keyboard are better than analogs too.

I'm saying portability is irrelevant on games that focus on multiplayer, such as SSFIV and RE: Mercs (that's my abbreviation for now on).


I'm just going to say RE4, the game the Mercenaries mode first appeared in, didn't use more than one analog stick. Thus your point about 'needing' two analog sticks is moot, because RE4 & 5 don't require two sticks. You have to press a button to aim, no need to have a separate stick for movement and a separate stick for aiming. This isn't COD or Halo, not being able to move and shoot at the same time adds to the 'horror' aspect.
