"Neir:Automata is going to be the greatest game ever.." And trust me because I sat down and played an incredibly small, focus group tested, PR filtered sample of the game and there for can quite qualify-ably state its superiority again any game ever to have existed.
Please. Stop the Hype-Culture.
Seems like Capcom is searching for region specific "Call of Duty" or "Assassin's Creed" equivalents. I don't mean game-play wise, I'm talking about franchises they can produce again and again yearly or bi-yearly with high return on sales for EU/NA. I think they know the old popular I.P's they have in storage just won't be able to sustain that kind of output or adapt to such consistent releases too well.
If we do see an old I.P from...
"Square Enix outsourced development for Final Fantasy 15 to many other people and this worked out in the end." Uhm..No. The game was incomplete--a Frankenstein's monster featuring bits of Nomura's original gutted and project patch-worked together to be called Final Fantasy 15.
They did it to Nomura with VsXIII and they're going to do it again with the Final Fantasy 7 remake. It's quite possible Nomura will be removed completely, and with it the ...
Is it really a great game or is it the digital equivalent of a Big Mac? The game plays it very safe in terms of design. The combat is over simplified, the game is open world--arguably the flavor of modern triple A games this gen allowing the devs to create a world map and just pepper it with skinner traps to construct a reward system to keep feeding the player bite-sized dopamine, the supporting cast are shallow and add next to nothing in terms of gameplay and the world, and the story, as s...
Knowing Kojima, this makes sense. Kojima would rather be a hollywood film director than a video game creator. I'm reminded of David Hayter being fired because Kojima specifically wanted hollywood-name power in the role. He's already including a renown director along with a popular series actor in his upcoming project--I'm sure it's no coincidence he chose Sony, a business with a hollywood film connection, to do his latest project.
I so desperately want this game to avoid the tired pitfalls of most open world games--all the depth and skill of a child's easter-egg hunt. Where they fail to build a living world and simply just give a list of tasks for the player to keep them busy and pad the running length. Go here/Collect That/ Kill This/ Craft a Thing x5 -story mission- Go here/Collect that....It's like a ball of frosting with a small crumb of cake in the center.
I do hope they advance this ...
It's been confirmed by Destructiod--there will be no micro-transactions in Super Mario Run. There will simply be a buy full game option and a free 3-stage demo with a buy option.
I...honestly don't see the issue here. Yes I do hate the idea of always online DRM--for consoles and PC. Mobile devices are usually always connected to a 3g/4g network or WiFi. In Nintendo's home region, it's even less of a problem as nearly everyone in the cities who would be playing this game will be online. It's a bit more problematic for the USA as there are still many who have limited data plans to stay connected, but if you had one of those plans would you honestly d...
I agree. There were elements of story shoehorned in which completely contradict and create major plot holes, the addition of Son's of Liberty mechanics destroyed the balance and tightly tuned fights and stealth of the original--trivializing many intense moments, and the music is a sad substitute for the original's iconic works.
It was like someone went up to the Mona Lisa and felt it would look better if she was giving a definitive, toothy smile and was topless the...
Is the gameplay of this title any good? I mean when I hear the raves it's usually for the technical prowess or story--but not the gameplay. For all the accolades I would assume there would be some sort of ground breaking gameplay oriented feat--is there? I've never played the game, but I'm hoping to soon.
Knowing Capcom? Yep. Marvel probably has their cinematic line up for the next 7+ years lined up and will add those to the roster as films release to generate buzz with each new character. Capcom will probably hide many of their most popular characters behind micro-transactions. With gems making a return I'm wondering if this isn't going to be a free-to-play fighter. But then again I'm rather cynical~
I do hope people read the article and learn Sakaguchi will not be returning to work on games for SquareEnix. SquareEnix simply want his name to endorse future projects. That's it.
@siam14
-So it’s more of an endorsement?-
"Yes, that’s right."
Square doesn't want him around games.
"I wouldn’t say this represents a reconciliation so much as a new era. But I think Square Enix is also afraid that p...
A person can have a powerful influence without being in the director's chair. In the article he goes into explaining SquareEnix didn't want him around the property because he had so much influence over the people he used to work with. Just as you can argue the games improved (apart from 8) with each new iteration, his departure after FFX saw the release of rather poor games from the franchise, and a lose of direction overall.
According to the article, SquareEnix doesn't want him involved with the game making processes--they just want his name for future game endorsements.
Oh do please not make such a comparison. I'd hate to think The Last Guardian is a Frankenstein'd , disconnected experience from it's original concept--a game squeezed through a grinder to meet current gaming trends. Final Fantasy 15 is not VsXIII--it in no way resembles VsXIII. I kinda really wanted to play VsXIII but, thanks to Square's mismanagement and ineptitude, I'll never experience what might have been a breath taking game. FF15 has only been in development for ...
The rumors are Marvel is only interested in using characters linked to their cinematic universe. Fox owns the cinematic rights to the X-men, Deadpool, and the Fantastic 4-- meaning they would not be able to/unwilling to use these franchises in the game. What will they use? Doctor Strange, Guardians of the Galaxy, the Avengers, and Spider-Man in addition to any other franchises they chose to make into films.
Marvel doesn't want to produce something which will give I....
Hm. I have yet to play this game~ Unfortunately, it came out in a time I was already extremely exhausted with pop-culture's saturation of zombies in most media. Although I still have my Ps3 I'm glad there's a Ps4 version of the game to consider, just in case I do want to pick it up and see what the buzz is about. The "best"? Subjective.
I'm not so sure Nomura's team was completely whole during development of FFvXIII. A fully funded, fully empowered team could have knocked FFvXIII out in 3-4 years. What I suspect is SquareEnix constantly cannibalized Nomura's team to work on FFXIII sequels and other projects. Development was delayed again and again, until SquareEnix saw how popular open world games were getting, removed Nomura, and Frankenstein'd FFXV out of the bits. My theory anyway. The team for KH3 was...
Oh I'm not saying Marvel has been bad, just that they would probably want Capcom to only develop characters which will have upcoming films to tie them into. So we'd see limited rosters again.
I feel as though Marvel may be keeping the X-men and Fantastic 4 characters hostage until sales start rolling. If sales are high enough they'll introduce newer characters from the new universe, but if they are low then we could possibly see them bring those franchises into the game to spur sales.
Also: No Japanese audio track? I could see them releasing it later as payed DLC. Two dollars to hear your favorite character not sound like a gutted giraffe should do the t...
