This rumour just sounds like its based off that motion fighters tech demo and so some bright spark has gone "gee, that looks like Manhunter, i'll start a rumour"
Read slower - i didnt say Demons Souls wasnt a JRPG, i said it isnt a typical JRPG and its not, in fact its far closer to a western RPG like Oblivion.
Also I fail to understand why you are mentioning PS3 exclusive games in a discussion as to why JRPG's didnt help with Xbox sales in Japan ?
None of the JRPG's that were released for the Xbox 360 as timed exclusives had any of the innovations that you mention, in fact they were far from innovative.
I ...
I wouldnt worry about it, another 40 years and all these stuffy old farts will be dead and we'll have holographic TV's
Im surprised no-one has mentioned balancing the assualt class
ARMOUR + SPEED + 1 HIT AREA EFFECT DEATH CANNON = BROKEN
I'd like to see co-op, some new multiplayer game modes, and some new multiplayer abilities and weapons.
We've already answered your question.
Demons Souls evolved with new its new take on co-op gameplay mechanics and a realtime combat system with immense depth.
Valkyria Chronicles evolved by fusing turn based combat with real time action.
Fallout 3 evolved by its sheer scale and by its FPS based combat.
Strangley enough all these games are universally hailed as being mind blowingly good games, FF13 on the other hand is being touted as ...
Dude, demons souls is nothing like a typical JRPG and so shouldnt really be included as part of this conversation, great game btw just nothing to do with what i mentioned.
Now im sorry man but i think FF13 and WKC are pretty crap and dont get me wrong, i was hyped for both of these titles but they just didnt grab me and are now at the bottom of a very big pile of games.
Now im not saying all JRPG's this gen have sucked - Valkyria was awesome how it evolved the tu...

The simple answer is - you dont have a clue.
Console graphics always improve with age as developers find ways to squeeze more out of the hardware, just look at what has happened in the past to get an idea about the future.
You need a masters degree in talking utter sh1te, just like pachter
I actually agree with Foxgod on this one – all the recent JRPG’s have been nothing special, and when you compare them against the true next gen RPG’s like Mass effect and Fallout 3 then they are looking a bit sloppy.
I don’t know if having a killer JRPG would have massively affected the 360’s sales though as Japan seem very loyal to Japanese companies, and rightly so.
The 360 was badly designed ?
Wow, what a revelation
Killzone 3 was never going to be released in 2010. All the rumours said Q4 2010 and since Sony tend to release games based on the fiscal year then Q4 2010 is actually Jan - March 2011.
Killzone 2 and GOW 3 were both touted as Q4 releases and just look what month they were actually released in.
But you are the one that started the trashtalk, cant you even follow your own conversations ?
Action Bastard just stated in a quite civilised way that Uncharted looks better the SC:C which the gaming world would agree with.
Alas your time is all taken up being part of the bell-end world to be part of the gaming world... its good though, you should try it.
You and Microsoft need to get a room.
Seriously "MS is far to rich, nimble and smart for Sony to keep up with" ???
Rich fair enough but if you would describe MS as nimble and smart then its time to put down the crack pipe.
I own 3 apple products and i'll probably be getting an ipad. Despite that i completely agree with Magna Fartas statement.
yeah, the guys an utter tail.
These articles baffle me - Apple is in no way competition for any of the major console manufacturers.
Nobody is going to spend money on an iphone version of a game INSTEAD of the console version. They might buy it as well as, but no way as a substitute.
I mean i love doodlejump on my iphone but lets be real.
LMAO - bubbles for you
Never heard of it
I disagree i think this is one that sells because adults are buying it.
Im in my 30's and pretty much everyone i know, even those who only have PS3's for their kids, bought a copy of UFC 2009 for themselves to play.
It like Gran Tourismo - it just appeals to the older crowd and thats where it makes the sales.
