You can't make a bad games and expect it to do well in NA. Yes sports games sell but that's because they're very party friendly. In japan you can sh!t anything out and label it FF or DQ or Gundam and it will be eaten up as if it was an imported 300 dollar steak stuffed with caviar.
Make good rpgs and the west will buy it. Make bad ones and we remember, the more bad games you make the more it sullies your name and the less we get interested in the game.
is now 19 gigs with the compression tech that microsoft supplies with it, and because of the read speeds you wouldn't need to add the same code to fix loadtimes.
ea is looking for an asian partner.
just imagine.
It'd be the downfall of Square, ea would force a new FF title ever year... Wait, not much would really change then.
btw, it's a joke.
and yes I know Square and EA used to be together till the deal with Enix but I still wouldn't be surprised to see EA and SE to join up again.
I think they also forgot fallout which saved PC gaming and deus ex. It's impossible to get it down to 10 really.
and ff7 came out before halo. Not once was ff7 called a halo killer.
no pong.
"· According to U.S. NPD data, gamers have bought more software for the Xbox 360 (24.3 million units), than software for PS3 and Wii combined (19.8 million units)."
that was quoted from kotaku, taken from the NDP.
6.8 games per consoles
11 million consoles
74.8 million games sold.
then look at the wii and ps3 with attach rates below 4.
look at madden.
The wii only has wii play because it's attached with the controller and wii play with the consoles.
MGS and FF13 will not push consoles because everyone that wants it already bought a ps3.
right? right?!
wait it's only true when it's for the 360 and halo.
like most of them. Lots of razzing about frankie, and some stuff about the warthog crash. Talking about work with peter.
cartoon guy humping the floor.
just wait.
I give you cred for the shot at nasim, that was gold.
reminds me of little big planet but you get to play your map afterwards.
Also I absolutely love the idea of a 7v7 with some one controlling the forge for each team like an RTS.
players on the map could call in a vehicle drop. So many possiblities. While the spartans are fighting for the flag you've got just the one guy building a defense for his own flag. so great.
and look what happened to it...
absolutely amazing commercial.
and it didn't work for them, not to say it wont work for sony, but it wont be easy.
but you also get to kill things.
nor are they really impressive. : /
well at least compared to KZ2 or Mass Effect.
isn't that unfair for square?
It's not squares Playstation 3, it's the Sony playstation 3, but it's square that has to risk more to develop for it.
They have an extremely large budget set of games coming out for the ps3(ff13, vs etc) and they have just developed a new engine for the ps3(white engine), if they can't make back the money on the games because the install base is too low you can't blame them, they've done everything they can.
edit. What do you...
