This is very interesting indeed. Many of us, even those who disliked FF13, believed it would probably sell amazing once again like its predecessor due to its brand name.

But if indeed, the preorders are far less then it could very well mean that the brand name has been tainted by the negative reputation and general opinion of reviewers and gamers out there.

Basically, far too many people were dissatisfied with Final Fantasy XIII and that is the reason why Fin...

I see the user who uploaded this post decided for the thumbnail to be zoomed in to Nami's boobs.

Ulf does make a point. If it requires such a small amount of power, why not use the 3DS' power instead and then save space by making it smaller thus less clunkier.

Then again, Nintendo should have released the 3DS with an in-built second analog stick from launch.

This is a reboot so I doubt there will be any old characters reappearing.

It's not 60fps, it's 30fps. And fans of the previous games would instantly see from the combat that it's slower than previous DMC games. The 60fps and the high speed combat was what made DMC popular in the first place.

Overall though, I admit, it does look decent. If it was a new IP rather than using a well known name like Devil May Cry, I'd have no problems to be honest.

It says "Local Intranet" on the screenshot. Fake.

He does make a valid point about Monster Hunter. The new MH game's launch will definitely outsell all the Vita launch titles. The Monster Hunter franchise in Japan is almost on par with Final Fantasy and Dragon Quest.

If Sony had managed to secure MH4 on the Vita, that would have been an insane launch.

But why are we even talking about MH4 though? It doesn't even have a release date in Japan yet.

Valve dislikes the number 3

You forgot Desmond Miles from Assassin's Creed Revelations.

Agreed. I've never ever taken the awards at VGA seriously. In the major categories, only the hugely marketed titles are nominated with each winner decided not by it's quality but by which is more of a commercial success for them. For example, if a relatively unknown title beats a hyped famous and popular title, a lot of gamers and viewers will get pissed and not take notice of VGAs any more.

I only watch the VGAs for the premier trailers and announcements.

Well I wouldn't call it corrupt but I understand what you mean. It's purpose is to make a ton of cash obviously. With the commercial breaks happening every minute and celebrity guests speaking for a couple of seconds before disappearing, it's obvious the motives aren't just simply to entertain us viewers.

Since it's initial conception started on a business idea, that's why I wouldn't call it corrupt.

Famitsu is known for always giving Final Fantasy games high or perfect scores.

Nothing new here. I suspect FF13-2 will be better than its predecessor but will it match up to past FF games? I doubt it.

There are loads of articles on "The Failings of Call of Duty" or "The Failings of Gears of War 3" etc.

It's just you never took notice of these opinion articles until it had the word Uncharted in the title.

Agreed, it wasn't as great as the first two games.

I felt Uncharted 3 took away too much control from the player. There were too many scripted linear sequences and less freedom to make your own decisions. There definitely were some great moments in the game.
For me, I thought the only great parts of the game where the Young Nate level, plane sequence and then everything after the plane crash. The rest of the game felt like a rehash of gameplay from past games and ...

Yep I agree. And before I was a supporter of the yearly cycle.

While Brotherhood really was a great next instalment in the series, Revelations was a bit lame.

However, there is a rumour that Assassin's Creed III was being developed at the same time as Assassin's Creed Revelations.

To further back this rumour, check out the names of developers in charge of ACR and compare it to AC1, AC2 and ACB. Very different list of names.

Hmm, I recognise a new world from screenshots. Looks like Pinocchio is going to feature in his own world this time rather than just inside of a whale.

Nomura said this game is as equivalent a significant title as Birth By Sleep.

So I'm excited for it.
