Beer + Videogames... An optimistic analysis of motion control, in the wake of one very "unique" 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.
all i gots to say is

The reason why motion control doesn't suck is because it just doesn't. Unless you are playing shovelware or Red Steel 1. And I also have to say Kinect looks awful.
is for people who have trouble using controllers, folks who get confused by all the buttons. For the rest of us, it sucks, and that goes for Wii, Move and Kinect. I love how you tools pretend like just because your company of choice makes it its OK now.
Motion control takes resources away form REAL games and console improvments. We'd prolly have cross game chat on PS3 by now if Sony was not trying to keep up with Nintendo and MS on motion control.
the wii and ps move have shown good motion control games and the move can be used with non move games like kz3 so they are good kniect is garbage.
@Jeremy Gerard
oh stfu you idiot no one is trying to keep up with ms on motion controls because out of the 3 kinect got the worst reception. also if no one cared about motion controls why is nintendo selling the most consoles, selling the most games and now have sony and ms making motion controls? the people making the motion are not the ones who work on stuff like cross game chat either and proof of that is they have move and ps+ both being made now so they are not affecting each other. just go some where you cown you're just embarrassing yourself.
Am I the only one who doesn't understand all the shit-talking about Kinect? Sure, they haven't really announced any good games for it, but at least it's somewhat innovative, unlike Sony who just blatantly ripped off the Wii.
Put a shiny light up ball at the end of the controller and claim "one to one motion" and everyone goes wild over something that's been in peoples' living rooms for 4 years.
