As much as people can hate on this decision, it makes sense for a lot of Japanese publishers to move towards mobile gaming. They are simply following the trend seen by the consumers in Japan. Consoles were once selling very well over there, but over time, many consumers simply moved towards handhelds. The DS and the PSP sold a crazy amount of units in Japan, way more than in any other region. But with the consumers showing less interest in the 3DS and the Vita, and more interest for smartphon...
But he does also mention how we probably will see a similar leap.
With that being said, I think one of the reason why we say such a leap during the last gen was mainly because of how most developers had issues with the PS3's architecture at first, and as they developed better tools and as Sony freed some RAM that was reserved for the OS, they were able over time to get much more out of the hardware.
For the PS4 (and the Xbox One), they are using a much mo...
I don't mind remasters when they are good value or incredibly good games that benefit from being played on a superior system. TLOU was a great game that truly became better when remastered. The Masterchief Collection, online issues aside, represents an incredible amount of content for a 60$ asking price.
My main issue with remasters is when they're basically re-releasing the same game, usually with its DLC, with some minor improvements and are using this as a reason t...
I don't think it would necessarily be a bad thing or lead to disappointment. If it's powerful enough and has the ability to stream its content on a tv like most smartphones can, it could be the best of both worlds.
The main advantage of having only one platform out is that Nintendo could give it much more support than when trying to share their time and money supporting two platforms. It would result in more games and an overall better release schedule.
I don't know about this particular issue, but I've been using GMG for about 4 years now and so far, haven't had a single issue with the keys they provided. On the other hand, I also trust CDPR's words. My guess is that they'll talk it through and everything will be fine in the end.
If ESPN plans on broadcasting competitive gaming (or eSport), they really should tell their employees not to undermine it the next day. And they should push for more of this content to be showcased on ESPN by the way, as competitive gaming, whether you like it or not, is growing very fast and is really starting to get a lot of viewers.
And, as for his comments, I'd say this isn't about the players being athletes or not, or gaming being a sport or not, it seems he sim...
You can already play FFIV and The After Years on Vita though PSP emulation though.
It hasn't changed more than any other best selling game in the past. This entire article could be, with minor changes, about how World of WarCraft changed the way gamers talk, with raids, bosses' names, items and various locations. It could be about League of Legends, with the people involved discussing build orders, champions and overall strategies.
Out of the 5 major current platforms in Japan, the 3DS has the biggest install base. Japan, incidentally, is where Monster Hunter has historically been more popular, by a landslide. Add to that the fact that 3DS development costs are lower than either the Vita or any of the home consoles, and you can easily see why Capcom decided to make a deal with Nintendo. Lower costs and bigger install base in their primary market.
To those saying Capcom doesn't like money, it's q...
I loved Kane and Lynch 2, the game looked somewhat dated, and it didn't offer anything new in the gameplay department, but it was a very good couch co-op game. And I personally like the protagonists and the way they keep sinking throughout the game.
On one hand I'm not a big fan of DLCs, but if done correctly, and priced accordingly, I guess I'm happy with the idea of having more Xenoblade Chronicles X.
I think that many publishers have shown over the years that DLC can be used in a good way, while others have been abusing it to milk their fanbase. Hopefully this isn't the latter.
How is this any different than any other post-launch promotions? If they were to sell the game for 25$ less for one week, would people be pissed as well?
The game is already a few months old, having some kind of promotion doesn't seem unusual to me.
Yeah, I'll try the demo. It's a shame that to this day Koei/Omega Force still can't optimize their games properly and lack consistency when it comes to overall quality.
I remember enjoying this game on the X360/PS3 back in the days. Sadly, I've read that the game suffers from massive frame drops on the current-gen consoles despite the sub par graphics. Might still pick it up if not true or eventually patched out.
A single Titan X will still get you more VRam than 2 GTX 980. If you're looking for 4K gaming, I think you get a better deal with the Titan series.
The developer announced a while ago that all maps would be free.
From the video posted on Youtube, it is suspected he was actually playing LoL and not WoW, as we can see what appears to be the LoL client on his screen. It doesn't change the fact that this is a sad event that probably could have been avoided, but there's no need to blame the gold for play time program for his death.
I'm pretty sure RCT3 actually looked better than this, which is completely unacceptable.
Honestly, if that's the best they can do with a 3D engine, I'd rather have them go back to the isometric view of the first 2 games, and focus on the content.
Most criminal kingpins know basic maths, have a driver's license as well as access to electronic devices such as tablets, computers and smartphones. All of these perks can and are likely used by said criminal kingpins to manage their illegal operations. I guess we have no choice but to ban all of these, as they clearly represent a threat to society.
Well, some people would have. Remember the horse armor in Oblivion?
