    Platinum Games producer visits Valve

    Oh, I'm sure that Sega can make a fantastic Sonic sequel with that income.

    Platinum Games producer visits Valve

    They think of using Kickstarter and self-publishing: http://www.theverge.com/gaming/2012/9/24/3383184/platinum-games-on-pc-steam-kickstarter-tgs They got screwed over by both Capcom and Sega (apparently, Bayonetta 2 was cancelled at one point and only continued development because Nintendo...

    Such a weird observation to make in a sub-forum about Japanese games.

    Atlus Shin Megami Tensei IV 3DS (beating MaroonSkein to the punch!)

    The trailer shows you fighting 8 demons at once at 1:40. That's more than any PS2 game had you fight (I think a scripted fight against 6 pretas early on in Digital Devil Saga holds the record for the highest enemy count), and it could be that 3DS just can't render that many demon models at once...

    Atlus Shin Megami Tensei IV 3DS (beating MaroonSkein to the punch!)

    Sprites themselves are great, but the high degree of detail only makes the flaws of animation stand out more. Having no animation at all would be preferable to what we have now. Character designs seemingly being done by someone other than Kaneko raises a question: what is he working on? I...

    Atlus Shin Megami Tensei IV 3DS (beating MaroonSkein to the punch!)

    It could use more visual cohesion. The combination of third-person 3D exploration and first-person combat with 2D enemy sprites looks very jarring. Sprites being barely animated doesn't help at all. Can't say much else until I read previews that describe the combat and the plot.

    There are just Too Many Games

    1. Delete the list. I used to have one and getting rid of it was extremely liberating. 2. Buy one game at a time and don't gather huge backlogs. When you're done with a game, buy the one that interests you the most at the moment.

    Wii U

    Two out of three games Platinum has in development are Wii U exclusives, and one of them is freaking Bayonetta 2. Wii U could become the go to console for non-AAA games that wouldn't work well on handhelds (action games that make heavy use of shoulder buttons, fighting games). No way I'm buying...

    Obsidian's Pillars of Eternity [BETA RELEASED, GO TO THE NEW THREAD]

    RTwP? RTw-fucking-P? This is their Kickstarter project that would be impossible to fund the traditional way? Disgusting. To think I used to support this company.

    Dumbing down: bright future of gaming?

    Then the price of games will increase. Publishers will need to find a way to offset rising development costs.

    Dumbing down: bright future of gaming?

    Nothing. For every kid that was like you and your friends, there were two kids who thought you were colossal nerds and played football instead. That's the target audience of the major publishers these days. But that's not the problem. The real problem is that major publishers pressure the...
