It wasn't, 2 player coop was aggravating to no end, the game was slower and the game more or less needed it's own memory card (10 blocks of 15).
4 player online coop alone means the PS1 version is awful in comparison. Oh and no mouse and all. The ONLY reason someone wants the console version of D3 is because they or a friend/loved one wants to play and doesn't have a PC that can run it. PC games on consoles are like playing sports games wit...
Depends on what you're looking for, which is where this debate gets so muddy. You aren't ever going to play something like Uncharted or Crysis or Gears on your phone. Not only in a visual sense, but comfort and controls while playing. I can't stress enough how I'm not arguing this.
If all you want is a platform where you can quickly just play a game (One which is designed for touch and not a game designed for a controller but released on a touch device.) then ...
Who said I was paying 90 dollars a month? Who said what I pay monthly is too damn costly for me? If it's not to costly for me, it's not too costly for a lot of people. It all depends on whether you're in the game of splitting hairs and perpetuating the idea that there is a difference between someone who enjoys smartphone games and someone who doesn't.

You only use your phone for games? It has more uses then one. Man you're just l...
If you read the article you would see that both games sold a million copies. Doesn't sound like a lot but for a mid tier developer like From Software it's not terrible.
day by day this place gets worse and worse.
World of Goo, Fruit Ninja, Infinity Blade, Jetpack Joyride, Sword and Sorcery EP, Scribblenauts Remix, hero Academy. Games built to not "mirror" the way that console games are designed and played but to highlight the strengths of touch controls.
You have no argument against this move, and the article already highlighted that they were not forgetting about the consoles or classic handhelds. Like hell man, "If we do go down that path, it's not going to be wha...
Games designed within the constraints of the touch screen controls (IE they don't use digital analog sticks and buttons) can be amazing.
An Android phone can be had for 0 dollars on contract, I got my HTC Desire Z (Canadian, it's the G2 in the states.) for nothing, and when I'm on my way to work it makes for the PERFECT device to play something quickly.
So maybe you shouldn't make such broad sweeping statements, I also don't think you really can define "Hardcore Gamer".
It's like every discussion involving smart phone games forgets the fact that the games simply are not meant to be played the same way that a game is on the more defined gaming handhelds.
I've been gaming my whole life, my first cellphone didn't have a screen on it beyond the number being displayed like an alarm clock. I embrace my phone when I'm on the subway because I quickly and easily want to jump in and play something fast. My PSP has some horrendous load ...
As always, the commentators on N4G know best...
"While the developer says it will still create deep, complex and challenging games for its core, engaged audience" You don't even need to click the link to get the context for a statement like "From Software looks to phones and tablets"
Whats wrong about looking beyond Japan? Whats wrong with looking at other audiences or seeing what kinds of games they can make on other platforms?
I own a PS3 and a PC...OH NOES WHERE DO I STAND!?
I fear I may be "Even more worst"
@Rageanitus
Er...there was plenty of discussion as to whether Nintendo would see the same success with the 3DS in light of the popularity of iOs, Android and Tablet games. Loads of discussion in fact...were you paying attention at all that month?
Could we stop with the "waaa waaa they pick on my *platform/manufacturer* thats why it gets negative press." it's getting sad.
"pad can still outdo a KB/M player with enough skill."
Average KB/M vs Pro pad user without aim assist the keyboard user will win every single time.
If Skyrim was an Action RPG you would have been getting somewhere.
Actually some pretty classy looking 3DS.
Nozzle, he's got inside knowledge of business policy at Capcom don't cha know?
1) Don't tell me what to buy, I was not only interested in the different gameplay styles shown in the RE6 trailer, I love playing Coop with my girlfriend so ORC was all over our list. Two copies in fact.
2) DLC is here to say and if handled properly allows developers to extend our play time with some great games. Their are plenty of examples of companies that release wo...
@Foolsjoker
Sony's problem is they never know what they are doing when they advertise ANYTHING. The Vita commercials are mind raping garbage.
Blinx? Really? I can agree with CS, Brute Force and KI. But come on....Blinx? Why don't you ask for Azurik while you're at it.
You're totally missing Bloodwake! :p
I know you want that Sony PR job really bad, but it's just not in the cards.
North America, EU and Japan aren't the only video game markets anymore?
They don't care about you, go listen to some shitty death metal and cry about color.
