Fan-bloody-tastic!!! - looks like 2003/2004 will be year of the Cube!!! After the enormous kick in the nads that was Mario Sunshine I was beginning to get on a bit of a downer about the state of gaming in general, but things are definitely looking up

- we now have Unity to get excited about (or will in about a year), and those Capcom games certainly look the part if nothing else! (Wonder if thats where a lot of the ex-SNK developers ended up?)

And three cheers for the LSD programme (Lionhead Satellite Developers that is

), its good to see that there's at least one publisher who's willing to take a risk on something that doesn't fit into the usual categories!

Can't wait for the new Edge to read more...

I have officially wet my pants.

What is the ability to use you own music if it's on the GameCube? Hopefully it'll be able to using soem licensed tracks or a commisioned soundtrack?

I would guess none. That's probably why the VLM part isn't reactive to music... That's what I figured a few weeks ago anyway.

That's what I figured a few minutes ago...

FWTW of course.

Yak's answered that one - it will be multiplayer.

Yeah, the cube has no audio inputs, and takes funny shiny disks that look a bit like small DVDs (that are no doubt written in a strange format).

But non-audioreactive VLM is cool... you have to make it change patterns when you feel it's right.

Hooray! I've only just found out about this, but am extremely pleased. Nice to see the Yakster back on some commercial hardware that a decent number of people actually own, and able to let rip. Even better - hardware that I actually own!

Can't wait!

Although if the VLM doesn't sync to music itself, there's no reason why you couldn't just put a CD in your hi-fi and play along to that instead :-)
