Considering how well it's been selling in Japan alone I think Namco Bandai would be stupid not to release it worldwide.
If they are so concerned with cost then just release it with Japanese only audio which will save alot of cost due to the amount of VO in the tales games. I'm already annoyed enough that we never got a PS3 version of Vesperia(the reasons for which are still unclear but seems to center on MS not allowing it in one way or another)
I w...
Here is the thing. People who are in Japan and in the gaming industry will like Gears as they have no bias(or at least shouldn't).
But here is a big spoiler here. It won't sell. Sure it's gonna sell some but it's not gonna be a run away success. Kinda hard to be when so few Japanese gamers even own a 360. Writing an article that says hey the press in this country likes this game so obviously every single person in said country loves it. That isn't how it w...
I would also say 2013 is highly likely but on the other hand we know the game has gone into full dev as well. So I guess it really comes down to how much is left to do. If it's pretty close then SE can just find a good window and release but if it's not then Nomura will take his time and release when he is ready(I would go with the latter here considering how ambitious he is being with Versus)
What excites me here is that Versus looks incredible. Everything we have s...
Kinda a weak list in my opinion. The fact that Trusty Bell(Eternal Sonata in the US) isn't on the list is a total wtf to me as to this day that game is still stunning and is in my opinion one of the best uses of cel shading simply because the style the game had and the immense detail.
Other games don't really belong on the list like GTA and Street Fighter. Street Fighter in particular isn't really cel shading. It may be on a technical level but ask any gamer who ...
@Quagmire.
Well I don't really follow the behind the scenes to much to know what the guy who Max Payne was based off looks like and the same goes for this new emo Dante but the issue remains.
Max Payne was a ORIGINAL character at the time there was no other design it wasn't a reboot or anything like that so it was fine to base a character off of ones self assuming it looked good. Dante on the other hand is a different story. You don't base a chara...
I'm pretty sure the first time the game was ever talked about the date mentioned was indeed early 2013. It's just been awhile since then so alot of folks probably forgot and assumed it was 2012.
If you still have your PC copy the game is still free to play right now and is a VERY large improvement over the launch. I'm sure you would find something to like if you gave it a shot. If you bought it once and got your account activated you can just torrent it if you don't wanna buy another copy.
I think it would be worth it if you were around to actually play the game at launch. You will likley be surprised at how much the game has improved.
How you get the idea that the game was rushed when it was in Dev for nearly 6 years is beyond me. The main issues was the director producer during the original Dev time. Tanaka did FFXI and should have learned from that but he didn't and add on top of that that SE wanted to get the game out the door lead to the horrible launch.
That said since Yoshida has taken over the game has improved by leaps and bounds and after the next major patch at the end of this month will be i...
about time... it's been FAR to long since DOA 4. Will be interested to see what they do with it with Itagaki not at the helm.
Great news to be sure but pretty disappointed it's only FFX and not FFX plus X-2 and XII. The main FF I want in HD is XII as I has the most to gain. XII was a gorgeous game at teh time and simply upping the res to 1080P would make it look stunning and more then likely there would be texture work done.
X was a very early PS2 game and doesn't have as much room for improvement(although I could be wrong about that).
In terms of content I guess it's o...
Yeah I really hope this is true. It's been FAR to long since DOA4(and no I don't count the 3DS game)
I would like to see what Team Ninja does with the series now that Itagaki isn't heading up the series. It could go down fast or it could be much better. Only time will tell.
Ok first off aside from perhaps the first 3 games no RE game gets praised just because it's a RE game.
RE4 was praised not because it was a "True RE" but because at the time of it's release it was like nothing else on the market. It was a extremely solid 3rd person shooter with a good creepy atmosphere and great bosses. Most 3rd person games before then had not be able to accomplish what RE4 did and that along with the incredible production values made the ...
yeah this guy is over reacting so much. If you look at it from a non fanboy point of view I would say the new acting is better. But fans for whatever reason liked the original acting(despite the fact that it was terrible)
The new acting isn't bad. It's just different. I personally like it because while I loved Silent Hill 2 I always thought the voice acting was quite bad and I haven't played the game so long I don't really have the attachment to the old voice...
Honestly it seems even Capcom and Ninja Theory don't even know if it's a prequel or a reboot anymore. They said prequel and yet they are saying entire things about Dante's history are being changed which would imply reboot.
Honestly still I'm not impressed by the game. The combat we have seen looks like same spam the X button over and over again we saw in the other 2 games NT made(it was acceptable in Heavenly Sword because of the impressive Tech at the time ...
while it looks decent it's really all it will ever do. From a game play perspective you can tell it can never come close to what Crash used to be. It just doesn't have the movement needed to do so.
On top of that it has massive graphics issues aside from the Tech itself. Crash himself looks more like a guy in a creepy mascot outfit then the real Crash and whats with him looking at the ground whenever he starts moving? The environments while nice don't have that c...
This reeks of a flaimbait article to me. If it's not then it really is written like one. I mean as you mentioned the guy contradicts himself when it comes to the fun of the game.
Also when it comes to the look of the game wanting to do away with the cel shaded look is retarded. Think about it this way. That look happened very late the in original games dev cycle and before that Borderlands had gotten plenty of press but with the grey and brown realistic look that every o...
Would certainly agree with that. No game out there had me more in suspense then Catherine. There were times when it was almost stressful worrying about what might happen next because you wanted everything to work out for Vincent.
perhaps moron is a bit harsh but my opinion still stands.
Even if you have issues with the scene it's no reason to stop liking the game or anything(which is what he implies here saying he liked it until he saw said scene).
Also the whole domestic abuse thing isn't even a issue in my opinion. The scene is clearly played from a humorous angle. Sure if it was done seriously it might have been a different story. But when they have the screen shake from pu...
This guy is a moron. That scene is done PERFECTLY. I mean throughout the game you kinda get that there is something off about Catherine and that she may be crazy or something but you can never quite put your finger on it.
When this scene occurs it makes it perfectly clear to the player that she is insane and the picture starts to become more clear.
Also the guy is a moron. Just because he doesn't like that scene doesn't make it a controversial one. ...
To be honest even the story work for FFVII would not just be straight ready to go. I don't know if anyone has actually gone back and played VII recently but it had a horrible script filled with tons and tons of engrish and bad translations.
That entire script would need to be redone similar to what they did with War Of the Lions on PSP as it had similar issues.
All that said I really do find this hard to believe. For many reasons. Firstly this site states...
