GameOnn takes a look at the rumors that both Microsoft and Sony will be unveiling there own motion sensor controls at the upcoming E3.
Square Enix launches Final Fantasy X 25th anniversary site, revealing new Nomura art, books, music releases, and merchandise.
Look I know VIII has its issues and all that but how on earth can the do big anniversary events with new artwork and merchandise for VII, IX and X yet VIII got sweet f*** all.
They could have given it something during its 25th anniversary yet all it got was a single Happy Anniversary post on their social media.
they should know that we are OG fans of VIII as it sold truckload as well. not as much as VII or X. I personally didn't like IX but X and VI are my personal fav.
Shadow Hearts 2 covenant is another game I love. I hope one day someone can make remake, I would be delighted
Final Fantasy VIII is great and you are always the first to defend it in the comments
The Wii is now a retro console. Let’s get nostalgic about an often maligned system.
Crazy to think the WII is to the Switch 2, as the NES was to the WII back then. 20 Year difference.
My wife asks me to bust it out (heh) everyone once in a while to play bowling and tennis with the kids. There was a ton of slop on it but some good stuff as well.
Wii was great but boy howdy did it cause Microsoft to go on a dark walk with the Kinect and the disastrous XBox One launch that they arguably never recovered from.
Not nostalgic for me.. I was there.. anyone who wasnt a little kid realized it was a gamecube with shit tacked onto it, it was the "joke" system and was well below even the switch in terms of comparing it to the latest machines at the time. The machine was well loved by young people and "casual gamers" who now remember it 20 years on, or in most cases more of its sales came in the 15-20 years ago range not right at launch- but again its not nostalgic for people who were "gamers" then really, just for those who ended up with one in their house, the games , graphics, interface and online features were archaic already in 2006.
A brutal reset, a smarter story, and a return to what made it great—Mortal Kombat (2011) revived the series.
Underrated comment. I used to hate that game so much that any time my siblings asked me to play it, I just picked Hom and shut myself down mid-match.
15 years went by so fast. I remember playing through the story mode at launch.
i gotta say a sword fighting game using those would be cool.
But the last thing we need is sony & ms PR's yelling "OURS CAN WIGGLE BETTER THAN YOURS CAN WAGGLE"
I hope not. I grew tired of Wii long ago, the last thing we need is 3 Wii consoles because it's played out and proven it adds nothing to gaming.
Even as add ons, we run the risk of resources being moved from games to shovelware.
based on that illustration, it seems a full body controller would be very neat.
but rather than use a camera, the PS3 should take advantage of what it has that no other console can do.
Each piece of motion tracking talks to each other, relaying relative positions according to each other and then one piece sends the data to the PS3 via Bluetooth. That way if something gets in the way of the sensors and the unit, it wouldn't matter. It seems if something like a piece of cloth or another person or just an awkward angle, the PS Eye wouldn't be able to see the motion tracking device.
And with the xb360 using it's wanabe eye toy, i dont see how that would work too well at all.
I've had a hell of a time trying to get Wario Ware Snapped to work properly on my DSi without it telling me that it cannot tell the difference between me and the background, even when the background is like the opposite color of my skin (red or blue).
Now i know that a portable camera cannot be as advanced as a USB camera, but still, i can expect much from the camera just not being able to detect one of my hands or legs, and throwing the whole game off.
/just my 2 cents.
I figure if they were to both come up with some type of motion controller, odds are they wouldn't work the same way and therefore it might eliminate 3rd party multiplatform motion projects? Not that the end of multiplatform would be a bad thing, but if that did happen and one or the other started to get better motion games than the other just because the controllers were completely different, that could lead to some real bad vibes in the industry.
Oh noes...
