patenting a product is great. patenting.. people meeting offline that meet ingame is insane. how can the patent office issue one for such a thing? if i meet someone i met online in real life, have i infringed? its laughable.

i am pretty sure they will both get be localised. atelier games keep improving on the prior release and likely sell more copies with each new release. neptune will likely always be more niche but the first 2 made it over so i do not see why part V would not.

at least we got meruru to keep us busy while we wait.

i enjoyed gears 1 and 2. thought the story was the best part, as i enjoy most things sci-fi. the overly dramatized parts were lame. roided out space marines whining about their girl friends is pretty lame though (mariiiiiaaaaa). im not a big fan of regenerating health and whack a mole gameplay but it was still fun on co-op. did not play gears 3. i do not own an xbox and my friend does not have his anymore.

i liked dead space as well, but not enough to warrant the purchase of ...

343I has no track record of making anything unless you count halo waypoint. the chances of them making a great(not the same as profitable) halo game are as good as slant6 making a good resident evil game or treyarch surpasing IW on a COD game.

its like someone giving me the license to write the next harry potter book. sure it will sell a billion copies but will it have the same magic?

click disagree now you idiots.

sony will charge for online next gen as well. get ready to be milked or abandon consoles. im going to abandon ship. sadly this means alot of my favorite devs that are console only will not get a dime from me and i will not get to play some of the games i love.

don not worry. someone will make a hires texture pack, unlock the framerate, and god knows whatelse. pc's have incredible people that are ingenious when it comes to their hobbies. all will be well.

lets just hope they do not go with gfwl. i would hate to have to download a crack to bypass that crap.

PS. i already own dark souls for ps3 and will buy it again for pc. <3 fromsoftware

"game must sell 6k copies before you get paid"

*signs contract*

"waaaa im not getting paid"

lesson is to not sign contracts you do not intend to honor.

now the 9 months time to get it approved seems a bit ridiculous. nintendo should know by now that developers are their bread and butter and treating even the smallest one like dirt can have huge negative impacts. of course that is just one side of the story...

i have my geiger counter ready and am waiting to make my foes explode like blood sasusages. this is win.

well people want an amazing machine next gen , and many of the hardcore would probably pay $600 for it. this will be the ps3 launch all over again. sony would have to take a loss to get the unit into peoples(non hardcore) hands and recoup the money years later and thru software sales. they cannot survive doing this.

how do you cram high end parts into a machine yet sell it at a price that consumers will accept? i guess they need a proper marketing strategy. apple has no probl...

it is hard to go back to the classics when we are so used to modern day graphics and game mechanics. i guess you had to have suffered through them back in the day to have any tolerance to them.

honestly i never played the genesis or arcade version the whole way through but i played the nes one and loved it. its part of what used to make capcom great.

would love for them to give the "bionic comando rearmed" treatment to this classic.

will be interesting to see how this goes in court. i bet its tossed out. unless activision stole code from worlds inc, which i doubt. activision solved this "issue" themselves in their own way, as every other person designing games for online play now does.

"how do we get many players online in the same space?"

"how bout we limit the number of characters rendered?"

"brilliant! i will file a patent"

"Despite not knowing anything about a majority the commenters, don't break a leg getting off your high horse, you jackass."

what is there to know about the majority? that most are immature kids that say "gay" at least every other word, usually between lines about making sammiches in kitchens? there is a reason this stereotype exists. that reason is because that is the vocal majority in the gaming scene. it may not be the real majority as most smart peo...

"I'm pretty sure the port was outsourced and fromsoftware didn't really play any part in it. "

so you are suggesting that from software has let someone else develop content for arguably their best franchise this gen? are you insane? this is not an ip that is shifted around to multiple devs yearly like halo, RE or cod. im pretty sure the people who put their hard work and love into this game are developing it.

and yes MS and sony take a cut...

lets petition microsoft and sony to not charge such huge fees for putting downloadable content on their closed systems. then you will see every game have a slew of free/cheap content.

how is a smaller dev like from software able to afford these fees when this additional content could be quite large and costly to put on xbl and psn? you may say "charge more for it" but that would only create the impression of "from software is ripping us off" in the mind...

the way most of you attack the author speaks volumes about your character. you are probably the same people that attack the unfortunate females that do play videogames the second they say hi in the waiting lobby.

while i do not want to see attractive people replaced by huge fat slobs, i think more variation(IE no beefcake males with big tit blondes) would make for a more immersive experience and diverse characters. but you cannot market that so here we are.

this is how you take a successful company and ruin them. cant wait to see what company the ex 30 staffers of gust form when they quit over this bullshit.

"it released at the wrong time."

i really do not see COD fans being interested in animated platformers. "oh hell should i get a fps where i can epeen on the internets or an animated paltformer? im so torn to choose"

if anything marketing was to blame for poor sales if the sales were even poor to start with. anyone have sales numbers? alot of you gamers assume that everyone reads up on new games and release dates and know what companies...

technically you play the role of someone in any game. that makes them all rpgs right? i cannot wait for the next call of duty rpg.

just thought i would throw that out there since there is no definition for rpg and never has been. game on.

devs want more freedom and more open platforms next gen, yet want restrictions in them to fight used games? lawl

its unfortunate that the positive sides of the videogame industry are being pushed aside for the negative ones. you will not see this article get 100 comments like the ones about bioware or capcom. i guess people prefer to complain about things than praise them.

i am personally looking forward to this new wasteland, geiger counter included.
