They published a lot of games, many weren't developed by them though. So yeah, I love Just Cause 2 for all its zaniness, but it's not a Squenix game.
Versus XIII looked like something I'd be interested in, unlike XIII, XIII-2, XIV (lol), Kingdom Hearts handheld spinoffs, Nier, Theatrhythm, polygonal III/IV DS remakes that were better off on SNES, or Dissidia. There were some other neat ones... and they didn't make it out of Japan. Dragon Quest IX would have be...
"It’s time for the rest to scale back their expectations and work within the realm of the reasonable."
Absolutely, but there's more to it than just hiring too many people to make a great game for you. There's also the mega-publishers making you hire way too many people to advertise your game badly to the wrong audience (EA) or putting a great development team on yet another sequel when it should be making something new and interesting (Activision). There was...
I think Molyneux got the joke more than Molydeux originally intended.
From the outside looking in, you'd see Molyneux giving a sales pitch for some poorly-executed stuff - Fable III's ideas (which were bogged down by MS' hunger for a piece of the micro-transaction pie and making the game for kiddies), for example, or Kinect (remember when that thing had its own processor back in Tel Aviv, and MS cut it out for price reasons? Wouldn't the original have worked s...
These are just the indie bundles, dude! Individual titles aren't listed... and I wouldn't necessarily call Kingdoms an indie title.
I'm especially interested in the one with Ticket to Ride and SpaceChem. One's a digital version of a famous board game. The other's a video game that's heavily inspired by complex board games. I don't have either.
Steam's fine... until *your* internet connection is down. Then you can't play a damn thing unless you convert it to Offline Mode... for which you need an internet connection to switch. Still love it - the sales get me every time.
My workaround was 3G tethering, lol.
Oh my god. Tiger's LED light-shades are epic and physically impossible. Unless he's blind. I. Cannot. Wait.
I'm actually not that down on that comment. No, titles shouldn't be made using the new 4000 requirements if they included more RAM, but wouldn't it be nice if the system just ran older stuff more smoothly?
Yeah, I know - that would be stonking hard to do, but I'd love to see a PC-esque RAM lift that would just do that.
And Orta! Glad this is happening!
Sweet! I would have loved to have seen Children of the Atom all the way to MvC, but this'll do!
Word! Purple jumpsuits in the future have nothing to do with that rushed-to-retail release. Anyone interested in what happened in that game should check out the Errant Signal retrospective on it:

They always sell their FF-series games with cutscenes and CG interludes, that's nothing new by any stretch!
On the other hand, the articles that have popped up calling this a "remake" are awful, only using that line to grab some hits.
I hope it's an attempt to cheaply reach as many people as possible and get them aware of what FF7 was... in anticipation of something big...
The article claims it has Megaman, Nitro. Maybe it changed since you read it?
To me, this is no different from SSF4: AE - it's a completely non-offensive upgrade, and an opportunity for people who waited, like you and I, to have fun with a much better version of the game.
Now, if this turns out to be retail disc-only, then I'll totally rage!
But expected.
SKRONK SKRONK WUB WUB WUB oof! bang! SKRONK etc.
E3 marked this the Year of the Wub alongside the #Yearofthebow!
Space Marine's great! Same here - wouldn't have picked it up without PS Plus, but it's so fun chain-swording Orks and such.
Be sure to check out Just Cause 2. That game is insane, it's like an open-world game version of the Schwarzenegger "Commando" movie.
And this week, you'll get Pac-Man CEDX for free out of the deal. That game is friggin' excellent.
I don't see where that article confirms anything as to the format of a Vita game...
But it's because it's a 2D game that I'm interested in the 3DS CV! Hopefully we'll get some Itagaki-esque magic on that one.
Here's where Pachter is coming from on that: Samsung recently partnered with Gaikai to install their service on "smart" TV's. This would have meant, for Samsung, a push to make a "games on demand" type of cloud streaming service, akin to rentals for a couple days. By Sony acquiring Gaikai, Samsung might stop operations altogether, use a Gaikai-branded service that Sony gets a piece of (like how you can use Microsoft-owned Skype on an iPad), or team up with Sony for...
Or making Skylanders. Don't forget that money tree they've got growing in their backyard, it's pretty important!
I'd like to see Microsoft and Sony win some fans by supporting new, original intellectual properties, with these five-quels from the previous generation taking a backseat. One could only hope. Given the "This shooty gun game is like that shooty gun game, but with slightly more guns" stuff we saw at E3, it doesn't look like that'll happen, but one can dream.
And that's kind of the point, right? Once your industry isn't niche, and gaming's widespread, the companies grow with the growing number of gamers, and start being no different from Comcast or Smithfield - do just enough to get people to give you their money, long-term sustainability be damned. Hence Activision running franchises into the ground, and EA figuring most consumers are dumb enough to deal with the online passes without a whimper.
Luckily, just as there...
