They should have released all of those kids games on mobile devices only or with the console verisions. It seems that the kid demographic, which is a big part of the casual audience, is moving towards the mobile devices, probably because parents think its cheaper buying them a 99 cent game that they want vs a $60 game on consoles.
I guess in the long term even this wouldnt have solved their problem as Thq typically makes licensed games, which is increasingly becoming tough a...
most surprising is tetris as 1, and that somehow dungeon hunter was on the top ten. i thought it wasnt that good of a game.
my thinking is that they excluded it because they wanted to really emphasize the advantages you get with 3g meaning you can access all that asynchronous mp stuff they talked about using 3g anywhere. with real online mp you cant play a game like modnations on 3g. Plus they probably want to make the sequel (if its successful) be that much better when they announce it.
"RPG that fuses TPS (third person shooter) and SLG (strategy) element"
kind of sounds like valkyria chronicles. im hoping that it comes to the west.
anyone think destructoid wanted to outdo ign's review (2/10)?
i agree with the coke move thing. i never saw anything about that, and it was never advertised on tv. i thought the subway uncharted thing created pretty good buzz. I saw tv ads and saw uncharted posters in subways too. plus didnt that beta you get from subway get like 2 million people. Taco bell is pretty good for the demographic that the vita is initially trying to appeal, which is the 18-25 years old that are tech savy and also like to game.
oh yea this holiday season 360 has outsold the ps3 by a big margin in the US that offset ps3 moderately outselling the 360 in eu/jp. Im thinking the actual margin is like two million edge for 360 for the holdiay according to vg chartz (i know its not accurate but it gives a rough estimate). But if you look at the entire 2011, I think the ps3 has been outselling the 360 worldwide except for the holiday timeframe.
the major difference is that ms stated shipped numbers and sony gave actual consumer sales. so why isnt that point stated anywhere in the article?
is fable/infamous a good comparison? they seem totally different to me.
starwars battlefront 3 or half life 3
i think this was the same for the psp with certain titles like socom bravo team 3 or something
can anyone imagine having a 1tb ps4/720?
wow this is crazy. the pr guy really messed up here. granted the customer also sounded kind of mean, but the pr guy should be the professional and not try to not egg him on. Lol i wonder what the pr guy instant reaction was when he found out that he was insulting the pax east guy
soe reportedly has dev kits for vita. nothing announced at all. there are two upcoming games announced by soe, planetside 2 and everquest next. planetside 2 is coming out soon and is only on the pc. now according to job listings everquest next will come to pc and ps3, but im also wondering they will have a vita verison or vita functionality to tie in the ps3-vita connectivity.
the launch window titles (a sony rep on ps blog said it means within about a month of launch) are mlb 12(probably releases the same time last year so the beginning of march), gravity rush, reality fighters, and unit 13 at least for 1rst party games.
They didnt mention other games like resistance, lbp, motorstorm, sound shapes, etc. However, it probably makes sense if resistance comes out in the summer then they would want a big title for the fall, preferably one that appeals t...
damn persona 4 coming out that soon. thats the most wanted vita game in japan by famitsu. that will sell very well.
what games are coming for vita in japan before the us release? i know gravity daze is one, which should a big hit for a new ip. i think a tales remake game is also coming out along with wipeout 2048. Anything else?
yeah but at least they are trying. modnation racers, lbp are their attempts to do so. granted, will they immediately be on the same level as pokemon or mario, no but its all about building it up. if mr and lbp do well critically and is well received by gamers then sales will be pretty good. Then future iterations will build on this. So yeah its all about their attempts of creating mainstream franchises, which takes time.
i think these pics are from the ps3 store because isnt there a different layout for vita psn store
ehh this always happens when only one company makes games for sports or other licensed content. Look at madden, it has no competition so the devs dont necessarily push themselves or their budget to create a great game. Fifa is a great example of a series that was seen before as 2nd rate compared to pro evolution, but that competition forced them to create what most consider the best soccer games currently. This all comes down to business. EA, Thq, etc pay a lot of money for exclusive contr...
