I think the makers of the Shadow Hearts series are just doing commissioned game development now; they made Lost Odyssey with Sakaguchi. Too bad they are not doing their own stuff.
The SH series had ups and downs, but SH2 was a very polished classic in my book. It hade everything, great story and non cliché, good battle system, unique dungeons, interesting sting, quirky side stuff, and an unpredictable ending.
Why don’t they demo the thing in apartments, it's always in a big house, is it available only in the suburbs?
Hay slowdown with the fan boy stuff, what I said was quoted from Carmack himself, he didn’t do a lazy port on the PS3 or gimp the 360 version, the deference between the 2 is from the hardware limitation.
And the best version overall is on the PC by the way. Happy now
Luck is actually a very important factor in MegaTen games, it governs the success rate of stat ailment that almost every enemy has, and most importantly instant death attacks.
Grinding is a make or break for an RPG, a player shouldn't be forced to do too much of it just to finish the main quest, its best left for side quests, and if the battle system is fun and rewarding many hours will be spent on them. I had a lot of fun stringing 3 encounters and looking for critical...
It's not like Sony are hiding hardware secrets, developers can achieve this quality if they take the time and effort on the PS3 and developed their own engine, the result for Id is one of the best looking consol games, 1 disk, 60fps with better textures than the 360 version.
Map packs Map packs Map packs $%#@!
Why no single player episodes?
He forgot the need for another TV to get 4 players.
Just give it to the makers of Valkyria Chronicles, they also made Skies of Arcadia.
Maybe generic shooters, there are lots of them so gamers are getting picky. This year we will see lots of AAA FPS games on all platforms and our standards will go even higher.
But I thought events and setting don’t carry over between Zelda games.
Of topic: I think the mag was better in the 80s-90s, their photography these days is bland, I think Maxim is sexier right now.
Hey maybe they should do 3d digital editions, depth of field will show off the curves better.
I got a nose bleed from this piece of news.
The makers of the original Tactics Ogre also made the classic Final Fantasy Tactics, and it looks like that the artist is at least aboard for this one.
Wallet says no
Sounds like hyperbole, fell for it twice, the Fable games were good but underwhelming. I felt like I was Punk'd after the ending of Fable2.
I'm going to need several 3rd party opinions to get excited for this game.

It's only their last commitment to Sega, Platinum are independent, the deal was 4 games only. They may self publish after that, renew the deal or find a new publisher.
Vanquish is the last game from Platinum, where will they get the hype from after that?
And why won't they bring the samurai Yakuza game? It actually looks great.
They also need to reboot Phantasy Star and Shining games, they used to be great franchises in the past, but mediocre sequel after mediocre sequel killed them off.
Way I see it they need better management…Badly.
Japans adventure games are mostly about text choices with some point and click application, like Ace Attorney.
Hope Kojma will do something nex-gen like Heavy Rain, but I will be happy anyway if it’s a budget game on the PSP or DS.
"..Will be the third entry in a conceptual science series"
Hear that old timers, remember the first (Snatcher) and the second (Policenauts)?
I remember way back (the days of Sega Saturn) waiting for a localization of Policenauts but then MGS shows up on PS1.
I think the reason he called this project "Taboo" is because it's not a dating sim like most Japanese Adventure games, over their they think non "bishōj...
His sprits have been crushed after the flurry of top FPS games in E3 like Rage, Halo Reach, KZ3, Black Ops, MOH, Portal2 and Bulletstorm. Never heard about Bodycount since the show until now.

If you read the rest of the story in the link you provided you will find this quote from Carmack:
"Everything is designed as a 60 hertz game. We expect this to be 60 hertz on every supported platform".
So the speed will be the same but the textures are better on the PS3. And that matters since the game has emphasis on world exploration and scenery.
