Don mattrick did such a horrible job that it made me wonder with all the rumors of Microsoft selling the Xbox brand that he was doing it on purpose. Lower the brand value so someone could buy it cheaper. I am not saying he for sure was, but how could you do such a crappy job, and treat your consumers like morons?
Phil does a great job at actually making me like Microsoft and the xboxone.
They are going to have to partner with retailers to have demos, cause i am not going to buy something like this without experiencing it. The sooner the better. People do not want to wait in line for hours to try it. so if they put what they had at e3 in best buys across north america for a couple of days per store then it would create massive buzz
I did a whole blog on the subject. It was called "A rose by any other name would smell .... sweeter" I wrote it based on final fantasy 13 making such monumental changes. I talk about other games too. But Yea. Might as well made a new ip.
The problem is not that these games are being made, it is that the true good ones are not. The major releases have mostly been mario games. We do not have a new Zelda or metroid, and star fox comes out 3 years after the console releases. that is terrible timing. i owned every nintendo console so i have invested money and time into nintendo.
we have purchased the console only for nintendo to tell us what we should want. not giving us return for buying it. this will be the last...
I read the article and from what he is saying I think they are changing both the story and game play.
I am paraphrasing here, but he asks 'why play the exact same game when there is a port of the game coming?'
I hope the game play is turned based, maybe some minor changes to how materia and stuff works, and the story can be changed a litle bit too, cause the humor may have to be rewritten.
The other problem that i see fans having i...
Yea that is why I said blinded by principle
I think nintendo is a company blinded by principle. The sell toys to kids, and kids parents. They have some obligatory violent games, but as a company they are a toy company. Maybe that will change with nx.
ultimately if they feel their success is selling games to everyone and their kids they are not going to showcase violence or sex or hardcore games that aren't already franchises. Possibly why devils third was not spoken of, it's there but it is the red headed ste...
A friend of mine moved to Vancouver b.c he met some people there. One of those people was rich and invited him to a party at his condo. When my friend got there tons of people were there but the host wasn't. The host arrived a couple of hours later with a trail of girls and threw a bag of coke on his coffee table and said "Hookers and blow for everyone".
I just think of that story whenever someone seems like something is taking to long. Like they are having par...
Once Ueda did not have a deadline he spent a lot of time and money. It was not his fault it was on hookers and blow.
Hahhahahahahhahahhahahah hooooohahaooohahh
hahhahahhooooo
Sorry I just needed that laugh
Doubt it. But if, just if, I will need to change my pants
Battlecry was disappointing. Everything else was great. Can't have everything be ready for November 10
to your first point about buggy games due to programmers not understanding the system, alot of them are due to time constraints and rushing the game out for a particular financial quarter.
your second point is solved by backwards compatibility. this feature can be instituted in xboxone for 360 and og xbox, and ps4 should be able to play ps1 and ps2 games emulated, with ps3 not without the cell processor which i get.
But alas the dollar these companies are m...

Probably just the reason to push him over the edge to go and buy one
Ohh yea. I remember the demo discs that came out for saturn and playstation circa 94 or 96 with 15 to 20 bite sized demos on them. my 10 year old self would be entertained for hours.
I completely agree with you. Often times movies are done by the time trailer is out too, but the Producers pick a time to maximize exposure and minimize direct competition in genre or spectacle
Call of duty and the AC games often ship full of bugs because of that tight schedule.
it goes both ways there big guy. Atrocities are done by people in the name of a religion or country. Just because the winners seem to justify their actions does not mean that they were not atrocities. American, Japanese, British, Russian, doesn't matter. If we are going to judge the past with hindsight, everyone's ancestors are part of blights in history.
maybe. often times though the game can change drastically. Even that person who was hired may have to change focus cause the game is going to be rebuilt, or they decided to drop that feature. It is too ambiguous
I would love og xbox games on my xboxone. I still have 2 games that I haven't played advent rising bein one of them.
I would love to have ps2 and ps1 games on my ps4 I do not want to hookup my ps2 and use wired controllers if I don't have to. And my phat ps3 is 8 or 9 years old this year. Yoy it is a ticking time bom before I have to get a slim and eliminate my ps2 backwards compatibility.
