I'd rather just have simple co-op, but I'll hold judgment until an actual announcement. Until then here's a related video.
EA already killed C&C, why not another genre driving pioneer.
So instead of investing in a long-term quarterback with potential like Tebow, you are assuming that Peyton Manning is still a sure thing to grasp one, possibly, two titles? I know enough about football to know that dynasties are built with long term goals in mind, not short term victories.
Why would anyone want Peyton Manning right now? His career and performance are obviously on the downward slope. I'm calling it now, 4 seasons and then he retires.
I actually think events like this help developers shape better games and stories in future projects. Developers should open a dialogue with the fan base to make sure that mistakes don't repeat themselves.
I disagree with the author about the importance of core gamers. I would imagine the marketing teams of these companies would know that core gamers are early adopters and opinion leaders among their less informed friends and family. If an opinion leader in a group of frie...
How much is from acquiring new debt and new equity though? I doubt Nintendo has been able to accumulate roughly $20 billion through retained earnings alone.
I remember a particularly disturbing comic strip...
I wouldn't say never. All the industry needs is their own "Citizen Kane," but the writing has to improve first.
My original comment was in regards to the animosity towards Ninja Theory due to going multiplat and/or being involved in the DMC reboot. I didn't take into account any bad blood from the past, only what was in the article.
I tried doing some quick research a la Google, but I could not find the interview of Ninja Theory blaming anyone but Namco for Enslaved's marketing failure.
I don't buy the argument stating that society should only focus on a handful of issues. It is possible to tackle those problems while addressing other social issues. While risque outfits in a video game I've never heard of ranks near the bottom of important issues, it is most likely going to face consumer backlash. Meanwhile our politicians (God save us) and economists (God save us) are still focused on those prominent issues.
I found correlation of households with a Nintendo DS with households with Apple iOS devices to be more interesting than the title. Partnering with Apple might be a good move for Nintendo, but that is just my opinion.
I don't understand the animosity towards the studio for either going multiplatform or being involved in the DMC reboot. It makes business sense for them to go multiplat and Capcom are the ones looking for a fresh take on DMC.
Companies are aware of the importance of innovation, especially in a tech heavy industry. Activision for example is going to find this out the hard way if they release another Modern Warfare clone.
It took about a decade to reach the level of quality with Toy Story. I'd go out on a limb and guess that we'll see Avatar quality graphics around 2020.
I really think the next step for games is virtual reality and would not be surprised to see a working prototype within the next twenty years.
I agree the market share of consoles will go down, but their revenues will still increase enough to keep consoles alive. Everyone knows the recent growth in the industry is fueled primarily by nontraditional gamers, but that may actually keep consoles alive and well; not kill them off. It's almost like the ancient argument that TV and VHS were going to be the death of movie theaters.
I feel bad for you if you don't like cheeseburgers or this game
Holding an iPad in place while gripping a controller with both hands doesn't seen very comfortable to me.
Half Life borrowed elements from other previously released games and improved them. Original gameplay can only be found in genre firsts. Everything afterwards is innovation except for carbon copied games (MW2 and MW3).
The same reason anyone ever wants to customize anything. How boring would this world be if everything was default?
Are you surprised? The only difference is that Microsoft is usually pretty blatant about it's questionable business dealings, where as Sony has to be caught with its hands in the cookie jar.
