Maybe use some of those dormant IP's that your just sitting on for no reason. Like shadowrun, kings quest, prototype... etc. If not make it first party, outsource it to 3rd party. Not like it matters anymore, since your games go everywhere anyway.
i wasted so many hours on both culdcept saga and bomberman XBLA on the 360. dont know how i feel about a sprite version of culdcept when the one on 360 was 3D. just wish they would make culdcept saga backwards compatible.
The first 2 to 3 hours is brutal with the cutscenes. Once they actually let you play it's quite decent. Visuals are pretty good too. Story is a little too melodramatic for me.
Maybe an actual dark tone this time? The best mod for divinity 2 was changing the weather and color theme to the opening prison island to actually match the tone. Devs are to preoccupied with bright sunlight to show off their graphics engine.
Offset analog sticks just feel better. I can play a xbox controller for hours no problem. When I visit my brother and play on that antiquated ps controller, my hands cramp every time.
Hard to tell if a game deserves the internet hate it gets or if its just hate grifting. But the fact that stole from an artist they were following on X per batim made me change my mind
The biggest reveal would have to be the handheld and it's ability to have multiply gaming apps like steam epic bnet ..etc. That will have longer lasting effects then any game reveal. With that said for me the biggest game reveals were clockwork, grounded2 & date, gow&date, ff & date, and keeper.
I thought this was based off of princess mononoke from those two creatures in the beginning. Guess that must be popular mythology beasts from Japan lore.
Never could get into the first game. I felt the "choice" they gave at the end of the tutorial planet was so generic just like the game. Side with the creepy capitalist or the cool hippy moms who live in a green house and cook you cookies. I chose the capitalist just not do what the devs obviously wanted me to do. Combat was the least of it's problem.
New ips are great and all, but stop keeping all the ips you own under lock and key. I mean they own shadow run, StarCraft, hexen, geometry wars, Spyro, etc .. At least outsource the ips. You know sony would be milking these ips if they had the chance.
@Darude84 I agree the graphics were lackluster. It looks on par with ninja gaiden 1 on xbox. Ever since dark souls, seems like eastern devs seem to minimizing the graphics department.
