Whatever Sega's justification is, I don't wanna hear it. I seem to remember during VF5's development that Sega said it was impossible for VF5 to have online play because of the gameplay mechanics, but then later made the 360 version of VF5 online-enabled.
Agreed, totally different game. However as far as the review goes, I think IGN should've tried harder to judge the game on its own merits, rather than in relation to the home console version.
I've been wondering whether the Wii has had an effect on the arcade industry ever since it hit 10 mil sold. Home consoles have been killing the arcade industry for quite some time and in response, many arcade developers have been creating games that rely on specialized controls so that the games cannot be ported to home consoles.
One example of this is the motion-sensing arcade boxing game in which you use "gloves" to punch and bob & weave to avoid punches. This t...
Unfortunately w/ the mindset that many gamers have, "a bit of time" is probably an understatement.
Awesome. Twisted Metal is one of my favorite games series of all time.
Why do I feel like this comparison would never have been made if Link turned into something other than a wolf?
Ever since Metroid Prime 3, playing first-person games w/ a standard d-pad seems cumbersome and suboptimal in my opinion. D-pads are the best control option for a lot of games, but FPSs, as an example, are not one of them.
Not you or I, but look at what games EA released on the DS. The more casual crowd is buying EA games en masse it seems.
I would have expected better than that from someone w/ so many bubbles. What ever happened to liking/disliking games instead of consoles?
That's what I was thinking. What a random culprit to list as a reason for the error.
In other news, millions of Japanese Wii-owning smokers have switched to chewing tobacco.
Exclusives have always been an issue for those who don't own more than one console. If you are truly a fan of gaming in general, the easy solution would be to buy the console that has the exclusives you like.
Prematurely judging anything based on an assumption of what it COULD have been is a pessimistic way to view the world.
I was actually wondering whether Sega was using the Virtua Tennis engine for this game. Very nice.
I fail to see how NOT taking money is selfish.
Ya the videogame industry as a creative outlet would be very interesting if money weren't such a motivating factor behind game creation.
"At any rate, I’ll go ahead and think about the possibilities, if for no other reason than to train my brain."
Who says things like that?
Size has nothing to do w/ whether a game is epic or not.
Anything w/ high expectations will inevitably disappoint some ppl.
Him being a neuroscientist, he probably knows more about our brains than we do. It's entirely possible that given social norms, WE'RE the ones that are crazy.
Isn't this game also coming to the Wii?
Greater by what, 0.001%?
See, I can make unfounded assumptions too.
Recent findings suggest that the attach rates for the Wii and PS3 are very similar:
