No, I'm not hating, just stating my own personal analysis.
In comparison to previous generations, there hasn't been as many Japanese developers making JRPG games on console (PS3/360) and a lot seem to have gone the Portable (PSP/DS) route...that's why I said the JRPG market on console doesn't seem to be what it once was outside of Japan.
Final Fantasy, Dragon Quest, and Kingdom Hearts have a good following outside of Japan, but I really don...
Completely agree... the decline in the console Japanese market has been quite apparent this gen., and that alone is probably want contributed to Square going for a Western dev. like Eidos and trying to appeal more to the Western market in general.
The market for JRPG's on consoles outside of Japan doesn't seem to be want it once was, and the Western console market and Western games has largely taken over.
If Square would actually focus on finishing ga...
I already planned on buying Battle Lost Angeles on Blu-ray anyway...saw it in theaters and while the action sequences and firefights were pretty cool, as a whole it didn't quite live up to my expectations... but getting the R3 demo that far in advance (almost 3 months before the game comes out), plus the movie sounds great.
I guess Sony will put the demo up on PSN eventually, but probably closer to the game's official release date.
I agree with the analysts on this one...I think it'll do around 2 million on both PS3 and 360.
Even though there's some action in L.A. Noire, the majority of it's gameplay (Crime Solving and Interrogation) seems to be a bit more niche in comparison to most big games this year and there's No Multiplayer.
I watch quite a bit reality crime shows like "The First 48" on A&E so I'm looking forward to getting L.A. Noire and playing ...
@ cgoodno,
Thanks for that info.
I haven't purchased anything Online in about a month, so I didn't think it had anything to do with an Online merchant.
Interesting that you mentioned an ATM, because about a week before I got any kind of notification, I used an ATM on campus that I haven't used in a long time (probably a year or more)... there was this note on the ATM saying something like "This location will no longer accept ...
I mentioned this in another article a day or so ago, but my bank recently sent me a new Visa Debit card last week because they were notified by Visa that my card number was "compromised by a security breach at a merchant location" and they confirmed fraudulent activity on the Card.
Not sure if it was because of the PSN breach or not, but I'm WAYYY more relieved that I have a new Card now. I checked my account transactions for the entire month of April and didn&#...
I've always been more of a Single Player gamer...PSN being down hasn't affected my gaming on PS3 at all. I have a backlog of 2 or 3 games I haven't even touched yet (Assassin's Creed Brotherhood, Fallout New Vegas)...just haven't really been in the mood to play games recently. Most of the time I would be spending gaming during the evening hours recently has been on the NBA Playoffs and submitting News on N4G.
However, from now on I'm probably going to ...
If Sony Santa Monica's next game is another God of War (rumors are pointing to it), then it could just be that they are thinking about implementing certain elements from 3rd person shooters and/or vehicle combat in God of War. To keep the series fresh at this point, I think a little outside experimentation wouldn't hurt.
God of War 2 had a little bit of Vehicle air combat where you where controlling the Chariot in the air while fighting enemies, and I can totally see ...
Late last week my Bank sent me a new Debit Card because they had been notified by Visa my card number had been compromised by a "security breach at a merchant location".
There's no telling if my situation had absolutely nothing to do with this PSN hack situation or not, but I'm thinking there's a good chance it did because they had sent me a New Card (and a new Pin Number for the Card as well) the same week the PSN went down.
I checked m...
I'd love to see something else from Sony Santa Monica as well, but at the same time, I don't think that the story should finish with God of War 3. To me God of War has been too much of a successful franchise for it to just end after a 3rd console installment.
If you count the PSP installments, then yeah, it does seem like it's been God of War overload for the past couple of years, but I'm talking just in terms of the console versions. I haven't played the ...
Yeah, not quite 7 years since Shadow of the Colossus came out, but still it's been a long time since.
And even though it wasn't announced until 2009, there was this Teaser Image of the game ever since 2007 I believe: http://scrawlfx.com/wp-cont...
I guess one thing about Team ICO games is that you should savor every ounce of them when they come aro...
Disappointing to hear of the delay, but at the same time not surprised...I know I've mentioned a few times in the past I thought TLG would get delayed to 2012.
Even if it was ready for the Holiday Season, there's just so many big games (new Call of Duty, Elder Scrolls, Mass Effect 3, Battlefield 3, Uncharted, etc...) coming out that would've probably over-shadow The Last Guardian's release, and a delay probably would've happened regardless.
"Back when I was even more active in the pending section I did far more reporting than approving. I'm sure you can find some people around that will testify to that and still hate me for it lol"
LMAO. Yep, there was a few times I was thinking to myself, "come on gimme a break" when I first started to submit articles on FilmWatch.
I was just initially surprised at the amount of tags that needed to be added to certain stories (like the t...
"Insomniac project (Their new multiplatform IP.)"
With both Resistance 3 and Ratchet and Clank: All 4 One coming later in the year, I'm not counting on any announcement of their multiplatform project until AFTER R3 and Ratchet are out...the announcement of their multiplat. project probably won't happen until sometime next year.
I haven't seen any previous info about AGENT being a confirmed game, so I'll just take it with a grain of s...
I was starting to wonder why I wasn't seeing a lot of Nineball's Submissions in Pending lately, guess I know now, lol.
I've seen both Nineball and Cgoodno quite a lot on N4G since I've been here, and they are both very, very good choices for Mods IMO. Congrats to both of you!
Tretton's recent comments does make it seem like the NGP may be priced a little high: http://n4g.com/news/736893/...
But then there's been other times when Sony have said that it will be "affordable"...but considering types of devices that Sony makes (usually more expensive than competitors), Sony's definition of "affordable" regarding NGP pr...
Sequels nowadays seems to be all the rage, but notable games like: L.A. Noire, Brink, RAGE, and The Last Guardian aren't sequels...so there's a little bit of new stuff that aren't sequels coming soon.
RAGE and Brink may not offer experiences that are vastly different in comparison to other shooters, but at they aren't sequels....and one thing I like about both of em' a LOT is that they aren't standard Military Modern Day Shooters.
Co...
Whatever it is, I'm thinking it's probably for a game already announced because I just don't see how he could possibly reveal what game and character he has been working on without the Publisher/Developer first announcing the game itself.
I mean, unless the Developer/Publisher is about to let David Hayter announce a game before they do (which is very doubtful IMO), whatever he's referring too in that Twitter post just has to be for a game already be announced....
It would only make sense for there to be an Uncharted game next gen and/or more Uncharted games IMO... I think the days of Naughty Dog doing one particular IP and not returning to it for the next generation are pretty much over, especially if the IP had the kind of success that Uncharted had.
In the past, the Playstation platforms had a lot of 3rd party exclusives, but now with this gen, most 3rd party stuff is Multplat and it's become more crucial than ever IMO for Sony ...
I think I might just buy this Collectors Edition depending on the price and what's included.
In the Collectors Edition, I'd love to see the game come packaged in a Leather Bound Book case that mimics the look Drake's Journal or something like that.
