I think Ninty have made a major mistake admitting the NX was a thing this early. Sure, it may be a while off, but people don't want to commit to a console that isn't the main focus of a platform holders efforts. Let's face it, Zelda is an NX title now, or at least a WiiU/NX double-launch.
That's a sweet deal for Shin Megami Tensei IV.
Nice, been looking for some new 2D platformer action.
I've been banging on about getting a rig for years. I really need to sort one out. Triple A titles for less than half price?! Wouldn't take that long to earn my money back. My backlog pile would get waaaay out of control though :)
That was my plan last time these were in stock. But my hoarding mentality seems to have taken over now. MINE!
But what Final Fantasy game we don't actually want are going to have to buy the demo next time :p
What if they ditch turn-based combat though? Sounds like more than a refinement to me. I'm caught in two minds as to if it'd be a bad thing or not.
I do like how they're approaching XV with fan-feedback. Essentially Episode Duscae has turned into a beta. I need to try the latest build of that actually.
Think they did a poor job of convincing potential WiiU buyers to get one this Xmas. If the price is right though, I'll bite, because there are already some great games on there. Xenoblade looks epic too. Mario Maker looks cool, but possibly a bit too hardcore (to play, the building looks simple) for most
Sadly, I think folk that are saying Zelda is heading to the NX now are probably right.
I'll admit to hyperbole there, for sure. Just saying that a vocal minority can often make it seem like there's more demand for something than there actually is. Call it Firefly syndrome if you will.
The Dreamcast had some great games, but sales weren't that strong for the games, or especially the console. Naturally, you need strong console sales for a game to do well too.
Good points about noisy fans being the main buyers and it being difficult to gauge how big the audience for this would be.
If the series was a huge as hardcore fans would have you believe, the Dreamcast would never have failed.
They really need to re-release the originals on PS and XO, as only the same relatively small number of fans are going to bother with this.
That's still a bit mental, but better. Hard to commit to this without actually trying it. Hopefully the underside paddles aren't overly sensitive as you don't want to be firing all the time by mistake, I can see how they'd be quicker than shoulder buttons though.
Also, I think this could be a great controller for people with limited hand movements or other impairments thanks to the paddles and remappable sticks and buttons. Always good to see folks with disabi...
My 360 was generally my secondary console last-gen, so I don't have a lot of games to bring over, but the cash from being able to trade in the old console could certainly go towards an Xbox One now.
I only really have the Gears trilogy, Red Dead, Bastion and a few others to transfer over. Might lose a few of the smaller titles, but if I'm never playing them nowadays anyways...
Actually, I recently started Fallout Vegas GOTY on 360, so I may wait until...
I can't believe what we've just seen. Not a stinker amongst them. Microsoft had some great games, but the PS4's future is looking damn hot right now.
Easily the most packed and impressive E3 presser I've ever seen. My mind can't process half of it and it's two days running I've been up until sun up. Damnit E3!
A few flat demos from Gears and Tomb Raider, but I'm confident the final games will be good.
That was one of the best E3 pressers I've ever seen. It's 05:30 now in the UK and I'm still psyched. Actually, I feel a bit like death. But so set for more excitement tomorrow! *crawls away from desk and curses the sunlight*
Ha, well if you compare it to AC: Unity it is!
Still a fair few rough edges on this despite patches. But all very fixable. The text needs an actual size increase (not just making bold, CDPR!). Candle vs opening chests/looting is STILL a thing despite the patch.
The X icon disappearing or not working with doors and quest-giving NPCs is getting on my nerves too. But as I say, fixable.
Yeah, I think MS have enough to go on for this Xmas. Crackdown could do well in a quiet summer slot maybe next year.
Think we'll see Crackdown and Scalebound in action at Gamescom with any luck.
I sorta wish Splash Damage had had another crack at Brink. Great art style, cool movement system, but let down by a reliance of team-based multiplayer. Was a ghost town on 360 a few months after launch.
Jeez, exactly what are they gonna discount these consoles down to at Xmas if they're this cheap now!
