Dude Microsoft have more than "30 billion" in the bank, but economically companies don't like taking losses. Now if MS went out and bought the rest of the series, they'd need to probably pay some serious $$$ to EA.
Why do you think kotaku and other sites were deliberating the future of Mass effect. In your fanboy rambling you're not looking at the picture. EA likes money, EA makes money off of mulitplats which reach big audiences. EA have bought Bioware for their tal...
the only thing keeping MAss effect 1 from going multiplat is the fact that microsoft is purpotedly publishing the game. I reckon EA will buy it off of microsoft as soon as poss, to get ps3 gamers on to the franchise in preparation for the sequels which aren't being published by MS.
the writer of article establishes the point that has been reiterated every now and then since news of the buyout was released: EA have been multiplat forever. Making exclusive titles isn't compatibl...
The reason why final fantasy and mgs are there is simple: a lot of people like those games, which bugs the hell out of this guy.
Whenever anything gets adored at such a crazy level it starts to bug someone.
Picking FF and MGS over countless games with tiring storylines doesn't surprise me. A lot of western reviewers share his opinions. My problem with it however is that there's an obvious bias. When he's talking about FF for instance he's only focusing on a few ff's an...
Just to explain, the post i made was in response to the article's closing statements.
i think the plus points he marks are stupid for the reasons i stated. More people want the multiplats on ps3, more people want ps3 exclusives like MGS4 and FFXIII.
"this momentum" is hardly worth talking about until we see crazy sales figures and square-enix making an exclusive final fantasy on 360 for japan.
3 games is all i see that japanese gamers would want to get on the 360: unifinite discovery, Lost odyssey, Ninja gaiden.
Listing games like Last remnant and other Japanese multiplat's is useless seeing as in most polls the public indicated that they'd rather take the ps3 version. I find it funny that he lists DMC4 as a game that would make japanese gamers go out and buy a 360, when i haven't even seen it on famitsu's most wanted; the 360 version i mean.
Just to point o...
If you've seen the trailer for 13 that's how it moves ingame. it'll probably be a bit more extreme by the next time we see it. It is turn based but you'll have to think real hard and quick about what moves to select.
FFXIII versus on the other hand is kingdom hearts on steroids by the sounds of it. In the last screenshot where the protagonist is looking downward; apparently that kind of stuff will be do-able in-game. You'll be able to teleport to wherever you throw your weapon...
good to hear.
imo they shouldn't do Resi 4
ugh...how do you turn the most b-movie- styled game into a watchable movie?
A scenario is the equivalent of a film script, i think.
whenever squeenix refer to a scenario that's what they mean anywho.
hahaha what would make no sense at all is if sony pictures funded the halo movie.
tbh if there was a halo movie i'd hope that it focused on the events that take place in the comics.
the idea of us following a protagonist devoid of emotion is pretty meh. Same applies to half-life
you could have just said "you entitled to your opinion" but you had to be a jerk.
saying i'm being anal for noting things i find terribly wrong with a game is lazy. Most reviewers considered Zelda twilight princess and Final fantasy 12 great games, what so if i and other fans of the series pointed out all the flaws in those two games we'd be called anal? being anal is disliking a minute facet of a game like the costumes people wear, not disliking the most talked abou...
firstly the average gamer is an idiot : )
the average gamer is comfortable having fps after fps rammed down their throat. The average gamer is comfortable playing through another mario game with another inane gimmick.
publishers exlpoit this fact and recycle stuff over and over. And reviewers go apeshit over it. Bioshock would've been axed because it was too weird, luckily it wasnt. Try to have a look at a game called "the city of metronome" ask yourself why it...
i think a lot of the buzz around this game comes from the fact that it's so "epic", there isn't a game out there (that i know of) that has such an enormous scale.
Travelling through space gives this game extra points to some of you above a game like assassin's creed which has infinitely better gameplay and dialogue(watch what happens when one of your targets is slain by you) which seem a lot more realstic.
tbh i haven't seen a trailer (or clip of ingame action)...
This list is no longer relevant.
Ubisoft above SEGA?
i dont think another company has produced the level of quality and diversity as sega has over the years. This poll is one of those "of all times"
Ubisoft over Konami?
ack no.
Metal gear solid
Silent hill
Castlevania
Zone of the enders
SUikodoen
i mean i prefer what team ico are doing now over what idk capcom are doi...
no...
people shouldnt look at Next gen in such a rudimentary way. motion sensing peripherals aren't new anyway. There were gun peripherals for the bloody mega drive. and in arcades there've been loads of motion sensing type things. All the wii does is bring that experience into your home. But remember the trips to the arcade were only to experience that arcadey action for that day, then you'd go home and play a solid game like Shenmue, or baldur's gate.
Next gen sho...
poster above you is entitled to their opinion.
In my opinion your list is pretty dodgy.
Silicon knights beating the devs that brough ust halo, metal gear solid, Half life and devil may cry, resident evil, zone of the enders?
errr no.
1) Squeenix
2) Konami
3)Rockstar
4)Sega
5)Nintendo
6)Bioware
i admire your honesty dude.
I suppose it's a good thing that these debates take place, cause you get to see the ugly and good side of the gaming community.
Not to dampen anyone's spirits but looking at the ugly asinine demographic many of us fall into, a character in a game who was gay would probably not come into existence, until market research indicated there was a large gay population amongst us; anyone with sense knows the latter actually is true. Of couse there is a large population amongst us.
Thinking from a very capitalist perspective it doesn't really make sense; just like with hollywood films these producers/publishers ...
-_-
notice i did this: "storylines".
even though i was being sarcastic there are storylines in dmc, but they have about as much weight as narratives in b-movies; cheap excuses for gratuitious violence.
Kinda reminds of films like Versus.
honestly is there any point in buying Ninja gaiden?
lol i love how dumb dmc's "storyline's" are. it's so amazingly b-movie.
that was awesome.
"wtf man" hahahaha
the big difference between ME and Uncharted which makes ME look better, is ME's scale. exploring space vs exploring jungle = space instant win
however
uncharted has better animations, better lighting, a lot enjoyable-looking gameplay and faaaaaaar better voice acting
ME ultimately is the thicker game with all the different narrative pathways, but because of the lack lustre gameplay and tedious dialogue i reckon i'd just get bored. I dunno who de...
