Based on the video the game looked pretty decent for a Japanese indy game that is in a genre barely ever done in Japan. It looked decent enough and seemed to function ok in said video. Why Kotaku would go into a Indy game expecting it to be the next great FPS is beyond me. I mean it's a indy game and it's a indy game from Japan. The fact that it was made as a FPS at all is quite something. It looked pretty interesting and if it's available here I would give it a shot.
The original Street Fighter II the animated movie was awesome. It was exactly what a Street Fighter movie should have been. It was mature had great fight scenes(which at times were brutal like Chun-li's fight with Vega she gets bloodied pretty badly before all is said and done) and a pretty good story considering what we have seen from the franchise. Most people forget that it was indeed a movie and that it just happened to be animated.

No it's not gonna be unique it's gonna be the exact same. The game will still be cross platform. The only difference is that players on PS3 will have the option to start on new servers so that they won't feel as if everyone else on the server is so far ahead. But that aside both versions will be the same and will be cross platform. SE has confirmed this on the official FFXIV forums many times.
When are people going to understand that one MMO doesn't need to compete with another to be a success? FFXI wasn't competing with WoW but it had a steady player base and over time became one of the most profitable games SE had.
The audience for all MMO's are not the same so while there are a few who are bound to play GW2 or something not all of the players will. A good example of this is SWTOR. Everyone seemed to think that game would be the death of FFXIV and I s...
The PS3 version will be coming in early 2013 after the release of 2.0
Why exactly do people seem to think a highly stylized look is a bad thing? The game looks unique and different if people don't like the way it looks then don't follow the game or buy it.
Vanillaware games have always had a very stylized look so why this is something new is beyond me.
I don't think it will be a disappointment if Nomura gets all the stuff he said he wanted into the game. Given the time it's been in development I would assume he has gotten all that stuff and more. He has said and we have seen to a certain extent that Versus will be a return to the Final Fantasy everyone wants back with things like a world map and such.
If you think about it when other devs in SE were saying a FFVII remake would take a long time well that's what ...
My interest in this game has been piqued now that they have said it will be free to play. I always thought that kind of model would suit the franchise better then a full blown pay to play model and I'm excited to play the game and see how well it does.
In my opinion there have been just as many good RPG's this gen as there were last gen the only big difference is that we have not seen a Kingdom Hearts game and the only Final Fantasy we have seen everyone hated.
But those 2 aside there have been plenty of great and new RPG's like Valkyria Chronicles, Xenoblade, Last Story, Folklore, Disgaea 3 and 4, Lost Odyssey, Dark Souls, Demon souls, Tales of Vesperia, Eternal Sonata and so on and so forth and that list isn't...
Well aside from it not being as intuitive in battle as some people like to claim it is also incredibly immersion breaking outside of combat.
Yes I would love to speak out loud what I want to reply only to have the character on screen repeat it and or say something completely different.
/s off
Really it just doesn't work and if Bioware who claim to be so great at telling stories can't honestly see that then there is something wrong go...
It seems the reason the writer put FFX on the list is basically not understanding the ending and I'm sorry but that is not a excuse. FFX had a great ending it was extremely well done. You don't understand it? Ok well then ask someone who did to explain it to you(If they say FFX is one of their favorite games as the writer did I have no idea how you could not understand how great the ending was as it's pretty well explained what Tidus is and why he disappears.)
Yeah but wouldn't the ton of people who signed the petition to get the game on PC be considered "Dark Souls Fans" as well?
Either way I get what you are saying but it could go either way. I would love to see a PC version but DLC is nice for those who have the console versions.
Well it is coming to PS3. They said once version 2.0 launches a PS3 release won't be far behind so it's looking like late 2012 or early 2013 for the PS3 version.
As for F2P the game was F2P for a year until SE layed out the plans for 2.0 and basically the only reason they started making people pay is because they need some source of income for the game to make 2.0 happen as they are basically rebuilding the graphics engine and server tech from the ground up and over ...
Ok lemme just say a few things before I wash my hands of this whole conversation.
Firstly yes going into a menu to change my weapons and such is more intuitive with a controller. Why? Because I've been a gamer for most of my life and doing such simple things with said controller has become 2nd nature. You make it sound like the game has the most complicated menus and systems of all time and that the ability to use your voice is a savior but that isn't the case. Most g...
Every time I hear the better with Kinect slogan I can't help but roll my eyes. I have yet to see a single game that was better with it. Games like Mass Effect 3 for example use it but it's incredibly immersion breaking outside of combat and inside of combat it's quicker and more intuitive to just use your controller.
Even a game that looks awesome like Crimson Dragon(formally known as Project Draco) would be far better off being played with a controller. The botto...
It likely will considering it will be coming to XBLA and every game on their needs a trial version.
If i remember correctly this isn't a direct HD remake of the first game. They are just calling it THPS HD but I'm pretty sure it has levels from both the original and the 2nd game. Pretty sure I read that in many of the articles talking about it soon after it was announced.
I'm personally looking forward to it. This could be exactly what the franchise needs. Times have changed and it's harder to get people to buy a full blown THPS game and the stupid gimmicks...
Yeah Shenmue was a massively expensive game back when it came out and considering the new game would be basically the same thing with much better tech and production values it's pretty hard to imagine that they could use Kickstarter to fund it like Double Fine did with their game(I mean it makes me sad that it looks like the Double Fine kick starter likley won't reason 20mil which is what Tim said would be needed for Psychonauts 2 and Shenmue 3 would need WAY more money then that)
Unless that is part of a outfit on Hitomi it looks like they are gonna have damage to the character models as it looks like her arm is all bruised and beaten. That's pretty cool. They really are trying to distance themselves from the older DOA and doing something that likely never would have been done with Itagaki at the helm.
Looks great I can't wait to play it. It's been far to long since the last real DOA.
FFXII was my favorite PS2 era FF and I really hope that if this is true it plays in a similar fashion and retains all the things that made FFXII so good back then.
I always thought it was a shame that FFXII was so hated back when it was released but it seems that as time went on more and more people came around to liking it(or the people who were so vocal about hating it slowly just stopped talking) Either way I hope they reveal this in full at E3 and I hope it will be as go...
