-K from Gorilla Jumpers explains why he thinks that the industries current fascination with motion control is all hype and no substance.
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'm in agreement... Motion control has no place with the hardcore gamer.
I'm a hard core game and I cant wait for Sony's wand. Also as a future game developer I cant wait to use it in my own games.
LOL, funny how Motion controls = Casual.
Sad...
People are so damn insecure...and for what?
" no substance "
You know if developers made no good use of the D-pad, rumble,dual analog, Shoulder buttons...then yeah sure there would be no substance either.
Its up to people to give it substance, of course if you don't support it, in your vision it won't have substance at all.
I don't see how its a hype if it actually sets people to gaming...
" It’s just a fun fling with a new group of consumers, but keep in mind that we are gamers, true and blue. We need a decent gaming device, it’s what we want. Those ‘casuals’ will drop you whenever the next better thing comes along. "
Funny...I know he is talking about MS and Sony...but Wii-mote + RE:4 = AWESOME = MORE than a decent gaming device.
" This is why both Sony and Microsoft should focus on us. Have your fun with kids, grannies and soccer moms (I know I do ;D), but don’t abandon your hardcore fans like Nintendo did."
So bringing in more people is abandoning others...ok...got it.
This guys is just insecure, his gaming world is collapsing of his own ignorance.
Poor guy.
Nobody but internet xbots give a crap about natal. It's beyond bullshi# and deep down even the biggest xbots agree with me. :)
