MMGN: The 3DS and NGP should easily overshadow the gaming services provided on smart phones like the iPhone and Android. However, the price of games is going to be a major factor. Being in Australia is part of my problem, as our costs are not justified in the current financial state of the world. The same Ridge Racer game that is listed to cost $80 here, is $40 on GameStop’s website, and our dollars are basically at parity. Perhaps then, my gripe with the high cost of handheld games is a distinctly Australian issue. We’re used to getting ripped off, it’s been happening since the dawn of (gaming) time, but as the RRP of a handheld game hits the price I paid for Call of Duty: Black Ops, cheap iOS games are becoming more enticing by the day.
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
TNS - NCSoft CEO admitted that AI is rapidly becoming a core part of game development, but he added that it cannot replace what makes games fun.
To be fair, there are also human made games that release and lack any fun at all either.
Guild Wars 2 been playing for 14yrs, 1st beta. This is just one company I support, Arenanet and NCSoft, even though I torrent, there are a few PC companies I will buy from. "PlayStation’s Horizon MMO spin-off, Horizon Steel Frontiers." I feel this will be good, NCSoft is a good developer/publisher.
It’s a tool. Use it elevate things and get it done faster. I’m sorry but not every game made by humans is good. If this can help things, then I fully embrace it.
