Yes, that is Dante we all know.

DMC4 Revealed (PS3.IGN)

>>Scans from 4chan

I knew it. Famitsu gets all the good Japanese games first. The latest issue contains so much juice it'll get you wet. I mean it. Wear a bib as you read on.

 

First, Metal Gear Solid 4 for PS3 is announced for real and new art and screens seem to show Snake as...an aging cop? That's what I gather from the grey moustache and the wrinkles. Is this Solid Snake from the future? A brief interview with Kojima mentions that there will be psychological elements at play in the game. If you intimidate the enemy AI, for example, they may get spooked and be less likely to fire back.

 

If you've seen the scans floating around the web, you've seen Solid Snake an old man looking closer to actor Sean Connery than your classic Snake. With Big Boss' picture having shown up in the early artwork and this 'new' Snake wearing an futuristic eye-patch - we're not 100% sure who this really is. Is Kojima up to his old tricks again?

 

In a short interview with Famitsu, Kojima says MGS4 "...is a game for the old people. As a game designer in my 40s, I feel this is something I really need to do. I'll leave the teenage coming of age stories for my younger staff."

 

The setting for MGS4 is an intense battlefield with soldiers, tanks, and mini versions of the Metal Gear Rex walking the streets on patrol. A scientist we're guessing is none other than geek Otacon is also shown in the early screens.

 

What about everybody's favorite hero Raiden? Don't count him out yet. "This time around Raiden is really cool. He's completely changed. You'll see him in the TGS trailer."

 

As if that weren't enough, Dante also gets a makeover in Devil May Cry 4, only he looks younger, almost...baby-faced. Is this Dante from the past?

 

Dude. Stop messing with the space-time continuum!

Source Changes

--------------

Fixed crash in some games when using a low sample rate or -nosound.

[Aaron Giles]

 

Fixes crashes in the following drivers: [Aaron Giles]

* Beat Head (video update)

* Hit Me (graphics decode)

* Imago (palette setup)

* Legend of Kage bootlegs (accessing invalid CPU)

* Rock Climber

* Speed Attack (palette out of range)

 

TumblePop driver updates: [David Haywood]

* split driver into tumblep.c and tumbleb.c

* tumblep.c runs the original tumble pop sets and use now using

deco16ic.c for the gfx.

* tumbleb.c runs the bootlegs and games which use hardware which works

in a similar way to tumble pop (semicom titles etc.)

 

Kludged around glitches in Monster World. [David Haywood]

 

Cross Pang is now using the sprite draw copied from tumbleb.c instead as

the game also seems to be based around Tumble Pop designs, as a result the

'Alpha Blend' bit has been removed and replaced with a flicker sprite bit

like Tumble Pop which looks more correct to me. Also changed some default

settings. [David Haywood]

 

Corrected Indian Battle DIP switches. [shimaPong]

 

Updated D-Day DIP switches to use conditionals. [James Wallace]

 

More Namco sound/MCU updates: [R. Belmont]

* Fixed analog controls for Ridge Racer and Rage Racer

* Fixed sound/music to play in System 22 games

* Fully share the sound part of the MCU RAM for System 11. This allows

games to read back the song names and fixes the sound test menu in

Tekken and Tekken 2.

CaSTaway/PSP is an Atari ST emulator for the Sony PSP.

CaSTaway/PSP has a whacky heritage, being essentially a port of parts of my GP32 and Palm OS versions, though theres a number of changes going on along the way Those ports were in turn parts of my own emu and a Pocket PC port, which is derived from a distant DOS version.

 

* CaSTaway/PSP release 004! More disk-database integration, throttling and frameskip, nicer menus with fast-scrolling and all sorts of goodness (PSP 1.50 download).
