Well, no one can say they aren't trying to market the Wii U with their second recent celebrity endorsement. Interesting to see if this can draw in the casual crowd this holiday.
They probably allocated a lot of units to certain areas where there isn't the demand. Considering how they decreased their initial launch countries from 21 to 13, they're trying to saturate the most popular regions.
The ultimate question remains: when will this game come to the West?
Do we have any current preorder figures for Europe?
We haven't had any concrete numbers for a while, if ever.
Woah, this game isn't out for another 12 days.
How did they get a review copy and review out this early?

I spy Watch_Dogs in that ad. That will certainly cause some confusion.

Every single video on Ryse features hack-and-slash action mechanics followed by QTEs after almost every enemy. It won't change this late into production.
I'm not stating that I've played the game, this is purely based off of observation from every video from E3 to that Gamespot video that was oddly removed. The fact is the gameplay is meant to be fast and full of action, but it's crippled with QTEs that slow it down. There's very little fl...
Beyond: Two Souls and Ryse: Son of Rome are completely different genres, so it's like comparing apples and oranges. Beyond is an adventure game where the core gameplay involves QTEs.
The problem with Ryse is that these QTEs get in the way of what is supposed to be a fast paced game. Hack and slash games are severely crippled when the gameplay suddenly slows down to do an execution move. Not to mention that it will get obnoxiously repetitive to do an execution move after ...
If you look hard enough, you'll see Final Fantasy XV at the seven second mark. These kinds of collab ads leave me with a smile on my face.
I hope we see some interesting Wii U/Xbox One ads like this. Hopefully...
Whatever you do, don't trust BioGamer Girl.

I blame all of the contributors that approved this.
The video is not from a gaming news organization, thus wouldn't be deemed newsworthy. This is worse than that guy who constantly posts everything from Roosterteeth's youtube channel onto N4G.
Credible sources people.
This is but the first of many soon to be "Xbox exclusive" TV programming. It will be interesting how the community responds to content like this.
Will it be enough of an incentive to attract enough consumers to an Xbox One? How will they ensure that this won't be on any other devices? Crazy times are ahead...
To be honest, no one at Square Enix knows what they're doing. They haven't been fiscally responsible for some time now.
Must be a slow news day for ABC News.
This had nothing to do with the publisher, it was about various countries outright banning the game from sale.
"On Beyond there was a struggle, not with Sony, but with some rating boards in a few territories, they still think that videogames are toys for kids, even if you say 'I’m not doing Mario or Sonic, I’m doing a mature game for a mature audience so let me talk about these things, I won’t do that just for the sake of shocking, I’m an author and I want to tell my story&#...
Come on guys, this was a playful parody of the game.
There will be idiots that think this is the only aspect of the game, but it's an attempt to get hits and get a laugh out of the audience. Kotaku is no stranger riling up people up to get views, don't take it so seriously.
This might be a little problem that Amazon UK will face. The £429 – PlayStation 4, Killzone: Shadowfall & DriveClub (Adrenalin Pack) shows an incorrect image. The image shows Need For Speed Rivals instead of Driveclub.
Hopefully, this will be changed to reflect that, lol.
For any of you non-Americans, I'll let you in on some consumer habits of Americans like myself.
When it comes to gaming consoles(much like other commodities, such as food), we like inexpensive products. There's a reason why the most expensive console on the market in its respective gen failed miserably in the States.
It is going to be very interesting seeing how the Xbox One is going to perform this generation. Brand strength isn't as strong if ...
What was I expecting? A game, not a cow-clicker that forces me to wait 24 hours to progress without spending money.
How does anyone not realize how terrible the business model is for the new Dungeon Keeper? Are some critics and consumers so used to microtransactions that this acceptable? And to think that this is where the future of gaming is heading...
