Phil Spencer also apologized, so what does that mean?
Also you are making stupid and baseless accusation on Platinum using MS money to develop Nier. Nier is being funded and published by Square you twat. Platinum is a 3rd part developer that gets hired by publishers to develop titles. Not use other publishers' money to make another publishers' game. You do know there is also more than one team developing games at any one time. Kamiya was in charge of Scalebound and ...
Meanwhile MS is sleeping trying to release exclusives beyond the usual Halo, Gears and Forza.
100% Agreed. When Ubisoft finally shuts down the servers we have no chance to replay the single player campaign. And yes, people still play single player games before anyone decides to make some silly quip.
Its all about control and such publishers could care less about the consumer.
Meanwhile while Rockstar and Bethesda spend more than 4 year developing and crafting open world games.
Platinum gets hired to do it with added 4 player coop and MS expects them to just finish the game so easily. Maybe if they didn't spend so much money marketing and making gimmicky accessories two times they would have fresh first party titles rather than the usual Forza, Halo and Gears.
Yes, the Nier demo is great.
I don't think greysun directly means a single title. Platinum as a company spreading their limited resources by working in various projects at the same time could damage them regarding future projects if many projects end up not selling well, being cancelled or just not good.
Bayonetta and Vanquish are great games, sold badly. Metal Gear, sold becaus well it's Metsl Gear. Platinum b-team's titles like legged of Kor...
I feel you. I will probably get Nioh first. Played the alpha and beta for many hours and loved my time with it. Will get Horizon so after though.
February and March line up is going to kill my wallet.
Nothing to yikes about. If you played thealpha and beta they offered to everyone you'll know it was received very well. Game play wise it's a mix of Onimusha and Souls. How many games on consoles give you the option to turn options for better visual at 30fps or turn down effect last to run at 60?
So what if doesn't look as good as you think it should. Games like Vanquish on previous gen still look great. Not sure what your issue is with last gen systems? Unless ...
How is an average of 80% considered bad? Idiot!
Oh no, it isn't a 90% or 9/10, that game sucks!
One of the most grossly overly exaggerated assumptions of 2017 and it's only January.
Welcome to the world of game development. And people wonder why some many games get rinsed and repeated rather than original ideas.

"Yeah but Nier: Automata is Square Enix."
Yeah but what exactly? What a non-statement.
Square Enix is only the publisher. Like any other Platinum game, they are all developed by Platinum but published by other major 1st party or 3rd party publishers.
Ah the power of the cloud, almost forgot about that marketing hype slogan. Brings back the good old image of Don Mattrick.
Well that depends, 3rd development studios can hired by publishers like MS to produce exclusive title. It is their job and they get paid to do it regardless if it gets released or cancelled for the time spent. A good example would be Bayonetta 2.
I don't think many studios have the luxury to be complacent and decide which major publisher to work for or not if they are in the business to be hired and make games. Got to pay the bills and staff and keep the doors open for ...
Compensation, ha ha ha! That's cute. Can you prove you bought your XB1 just for Scalebound to make such demands? Microsoft cannot DEMAND a Nier Automata port as recompense for Scalebound as MS is the one who cancelled the project in the first place.
and if the game came out and got hot reviews across the board you would be shouting how amazing it is for a game you never cared about.
They showed off some builds at trade shows, but the comments that came from people who played was very mixed. With every build showed off the improvements very minimal.
Are you seriously blaming a game engine for failed game projects from Japanese developers even though many other developers use it and have made and making titles using Unreal 4? That's a new low, a really stupid low.
Relegating your reason exclusively to Japanese developers failure on the engine, how laughable. Please tell that to Suda regarding Let it Die which plays and works just fine. How about Abzu, Gears 4, LawBreakers, Paragon that received positive reception. ...
Oh yes, even a remastered version would do.
That would be a nice middle finger to Konami, but I think Kojima would love to work on different projects that aren't Metal Gear. He has spent most of his professional life in that genre.
Suikoden 2, greatest RPG of all time. Symphony of the Night, best Castlevania game, also the DS had some phenomenal Castlevania games too. Sad that both are from Konami and we will probably never see titles like that again that are as good.
Loved Colony Wars, spent many hours with that game. Would be nice to have a modern space shooter/exploration game on consoles. A follow up to Vagrant Story would be great too.
In gaming development, they probably could be.
Konami has proven they don't care about their gaming front, Konami Digital Entertainment. All they care about is their pachinko slots. Quick and easy money.
