I have to agree. Heavenly Sword had a long developer cycle and as a result was expensive as hell to make. They blamed their own dumb budgeting decisions on being exclusive when Heavenly Sword easily sold in the millions which for most smaller third parties is nothing short of amazing. If they would have made a sequel they could have built on upon the established fan base sold well over a million and would be starting to establish a much larger fan base. Instead of building on an established ...
Nomura has done a lot of work for Square over the years, working FF4-8,FFX, X-2, XI,most of the spinoffs, FF13 AND 13-2, Type-0, Chrono Trigger, Front Mission, and Parasite Eve 1 and 2 to name a few. More importantly he directed every Kingdom Hearts, produced The World Ends With You, The 3rd Birthday, Dissidia 012, and all the other FF spinoffs on PSP. He also also was heavily involved in the story and characters of FF7 and directed Advent Children. Nomura is pretty much the workhorse of Squa...
Unfortunately these are just Amazon's usual deals highlighted in a 50% sale. SF4 is actually more than I've found it on Amazon before and titles like Dead Island and Crysis 2 have been at that price point since at least early April. Dead Island is also usually cheaper on the 360 version. These deals are going away any time soon so there's no need to get in rush especially when Amazon has had better deals on these titles.
Good points. We all have to remember Nomura has been working on other projects and Versus 13 keeps being put on lowest priority. All you have to do is look at the games he's credited for and you'll see he's worked on most of the JRPGs Squre Enix has put out since Versus 13 was announcd including games that he directed or was the creative producer for.
The article says he's working with them but for all we know he's not getting paid but this was part of the settlement to keep him out of jail
@mr_badhand You're entitled to your opinion but know that those shows aren't exactly original ideas. They are inspired by real life circumstances and the criminals were actually useful in those situations. Also you forgot the Hannibal movies.
If Nintendo does not have more than one of the following: Metroid, Zelda, Smash Bros., or 3D Mario(Mario 64/Mario Galaxy style) gameplay on 3DS and/or Wii U, then Sony pretty much has it wrapped from previous announcements alone. Microsoft may have something but the past couple of years have had no real surprises and too much focus on casual instead of hardcore franchises. The least they could do is make a new Killer Instinct/Rare title and promote their XBLA lineup which compromised most of ...
So 5 or 6 recognizable exclusive franchises, multiplatform characters, and avatars. I was half way impressed but they left out a few characters I was thinking of when I read the title and the whole article comes off as a Microsoft defense article, not because of writing style or tone, but because the list is so ... let's say pathetic. Once he ran out of characters, he probably should have admitted he's wrong. Microsoft doesn't have those the types of characters conducive to this t...
Snake was already in a Smash Bros. though. I welcome Sony to add him but it would be an unoriginal character. It'd be cool with me if he was in both the new Smash Bros. and PAS:BR. Spreading the love would be great. In fact, I'd like to see several third party characters in both series. For instance, Megaman classic in Smash Bros. and Zero(Megaman X) for PAS:BR. Maybe they could throw in some characters from DMC(Dante, Lady, Trish, and/or Vergil), popular FF characters from the PS1 er...
Did you collect the LPs and get the other weapons during your 4 hours? I actually stuck with the default weapons for the first few levels and starting getting bored before I switched weapons and the fun factor just went up dramatically from there.
@ShinMaster There's a good bit of anime on the PS Store. The one you are referring is Queen's Blade and I think they pulled it which is stupid because you had to be 18 to buy it. The anime itself is alright but has a lot of nudity. Eventually you become desensitized to it and the story is able to progress. The angel bitches about everything lol.
It's because of the differences in the operating system. It wasn't until 1.7(April 19, 2007) came out for PS3 that they were playable on PS3 and they were available for PSP on December 4, 2006. While it was quicker for PS3 than it has been on Vita, you can see that it takes a while to get the emulator working properly for an operating system. Give them credit though, they have many PSP titles available for download from the start and have said they are working for a PS1 emulator.
The PS1 generation is one of the best, especially in terms of RPGs. Final Fantasy 6-9 plus Tactics, Legend of Dragoon coming May 1, Wild Arms, and many more. Adding to this are several titles from other genres such as MGS, Spyro, Tekken, Darkstalkers, Tomb Raider, etc. What people are excited for is the prospect of adding 100+ titles to the library of titles available for play on their system. People were excited when Ocarina of Time was remade for 3DS so why wouldn't people be excited to...
No the Xperia Play/Playstation phone is the only thing that requires you to do that. Vita doesn't make you repurchase digital PSP games so the assumption is this will hold true for PS1 classics. Now if you bought PS1 classics for the phone, the answer would be yes.
Actually you're just trolling, the console port was pretty good. No significant glitches or slowdown. The graphics look nice enough and fit in with the quality of many retail games on consoles. It's a downgrade from the PC version but it's still pretty good. They could have done more with it but I'm more than content with it. BTW sub HD is just a dumb term. It's either SD(i.e. 480i) or HD(literally anything above 480i). I don't know what resolution it's running at ...
People seem to forget how much NES and SNES games cost back in the 80s. I remember some SNES games were around 70-80 back then so actually if anything games are much cheaper without inflation. Games have always been really expensive. However, I would argue however that the price of games is too high and always has been far too high. I know they cost tens of millions to make but games could easily make profit at a $40 price point especially digitally release games.
Apparently not. The reason Versus 13 isn't done is that Nomura has worked on several, and I mean several, projects including The World Ends with You since Versus 13 was announced. He's doing a lot more than consulting too. I'm happy that they may be considering a sequel but it'd be better if they had him and a sizable team focused heavily on Versus 13 instead of having him and many notable people also from the Versus 13 working on just about everything. With Versus 13 ut of th...
They could something like MLB/Warrior's Lair does or they could go the the Resistance: Retribution and Resistance 2 route where R2 "infected" Retribution and added game functionality.
Your Dragonborn isn't in the Dark Brotherhood?
I don't have problem with his hair being black or with the game fundamentally. It is stupid some seem to get hung up on that. I'm sure it'll be a decent game, but I do have a problem when all the facts are brought together. The game is set in an alternate timeline so why should fans care? The gameplay and visual style of the game so again this is starting to be too much change. Heavenly Sword, though it didn't make much money, has sold in the millions and they should have stuc...
