yes offcourse Mario is Japanese ... his face is made similar to the Samurai masks with the big moustaches and old child focused manga characters ...it took me some years to find out though.....i observed it recently as playing Mario oddyssey where you get a samurai costume in it
I would say Gravity Rush 2 ....it s extremely well made ..with lovable characters and from.start to end complete and polished experience..i dont understand why didnt sell well
Ninja Gaiden 1 and 2 (Itagaki made games) were some of the few true good exclusives that interested me back on X360 (i had only PS3)....though now the original creator stopped making games (Itagaki) and the series lost its essence (high difficulty, high adrenaline gameplay and satisfying violence ) ....i doubt, even if it goes exclusive to the XSX, to reach the levels of quality it had back then
Yes the game does a good job to depict war occupied country ..i dont disagree...i just prefer better Sekiro s for its weird sick after-war atmosphere tried to achieve ....people are tired , are sick , everywhere is death and (artistic)ugliness somehow you dont feel good to kill them ....in the other GoT feels a bit like Zelda ....lets go vacation and kill some mongols too haha.....dont get me wrong both games are equally good end of story , i just being elitist with minor things here
the game is very good ...not a masterpiece but very close ... i wish it had better looking Japanese actors like Yakuza games (imagine Lee byoung hun as protagonist ...would be perfect) ... the comparison to Sekiro is unavoidable , but GoT battles unexpectedly give the same satisfaction as Sekiro s (if not better), being short violent and realistic ....the only thing where i consider Sekiro better than GoT is the environment, where FromSOft as original japanese dev made it a bit more faithfu...
FF VII Remake was huge disapointment imo ....Nomura is not made for director , the guy is just an artist , destroyed one huge chance to recreate a cassic here...The environments are PS2 era quality , either artistically either graphically, and the whole plot with extra stories is a copmplete failed mess and boredome....It is like is made from different company which is out of touch .....shame because og FF7 was the Akira (literaly and metaphorically) of the videogames,, it was made with alo...
Combat system in the game is one of the best and deepest out there , also is one of the best actualised on mechanics and visuals which imo is only the second game after Sekiro that managed to achieve such satisfaction
Generally as im now playing it is one best open world games (better than Horizon imo , and bit worse than Zelda BTW) ....if it had better looking actors (imagine Lee Byung Hun-Stormshadow-GIJoe or more authentic Japanese actors like Yakuza series) and some po...
im playing right now Ghost of Tsushima ...the game is very good indeed with a lot of work on swordplay and mechanics behinid it.....Various environments also looks beautiful .. but imo Sekiro has bit better atmosphere and detail , because it, manages to capture better the grim Japanese war torn environments and its fatigued people ...
..also i would like in GoT to have choosen a bit more appealing Japanese-Korean actors for protagonists ,for example Lee byung hun( Stormsh...
offcourse ...Konami probably lost all the staff that knew how to handle the engne ....shame to not be in Kojima productions hands , it was their own creation... Fox engine was indeed one of the best engines- if not the best .. its photorealistc results were unbelivable and no contemporary (out of the box -without further developping ) engine could match her, no engine could have such results on PS3 with a cross gen game
they will probably release alot of cross gen titles...i guess for the first 2-3 years we may see alot of pS5 games to be compatible for PS4 too
i wont compare the 2 games as they have a lot of different things in art, theme and direction they tried to achieve ....but what makes me wonder is why Sony cant develop (or why they dont want to) a flagship game analoguous to Zelda BTW s quality ....a game to be perfect in everything : in gameplay , in art direction ,in pacing in mechanics just like Zelda ...many can say that Zelda isnt perfect but considering it had tot be developped for Switch/Wii then is far above any open world ga...
Japan studio developped Astrobot for PS5 i think which will be already installed in new consoles....though if they preparing smthin is the only thing from the list that i m waiting to see...everything else is meh....Sony must develop completely new IPs in all genres for ps5....especially platformers and unique action-adventures from japan like DDogma , Zelda or the cancelled Scalebound
@redemtion64 ...your logic has a point ....but Japanese culture (especially of that time) would have better portrayed by themselves as there are ton of things that we (as westerners) dont understand/dont know how to depict properly ...add to that they r masterfull game developers and action games was always their "thing" ...... and you ill understand my logic
Gamespot has fair reviews ..i generally trust them ......while i havent played the game yet and i dont want to be negative ,tbh if i was Sony , i would give the whole project/development of the game to a real Japanese developer and not Sp
@bouzeball...that would ve been the best ...imagine if sony was smart enough and bought the Crash franchise back in vivendi years (where probably had the lowest value)....now we would playing a Crash made from Astrobot devs (which is a stellar game) and Horizon s zero graphics engine ...would have been a masterpiece
Nintendo with its superior inner software studios has the ability to be competitve even if it is one generation behind ...Mario s odyssey and mario Kart 8 s quality is still to be matched by any ps4/xone game of similar genre...im not fanatic of Ninty but its games quality remains unscathed all these years
...still Activision s Crash remakes-sequel is nowwhere near the quality standards of Knack....Knack if had corrected some minor things here and there would have been killer app...and somehow carries better the soul of og Crash than the mediocre remakes
If Knack had an animal hero-mascot would literally have far better sales and appeal ....it is very good mechanichally and visually almost on par with mario
With recent disapontment of FF 7 Remake (the game s environment and plot is extremely rushed and sloppy made)...i m hoping also for Legend of Dragoon Remake....it could literaly dethrone any recent RPG ...if it is made properly and internally from Sony studios
it is almost like a remake of the first game , Halo CE...im curious to see what they ill bring with this game.....the only Halo i liked and consider classic is og Halo CE on Xbox , everything else after was inferior in a lot of ways
