what the fuck? Dont even put them on the same sentence. Vanquish is masterclass of tps while gears of wars pretty much single handedly popularized popamole design and it isnt even the first oen that invented cover based shooter.Someone on youtube said Vanquish is a better version of Gears of War. Any truth to that?
Vanquish is Gears of War but with less gore, manliness and cheeseSomeone on youtube said Vanquish is a better version of Gears of War. Any truth to that?
Yeah, although they feel very different, they're both stylish, campy, with some fun gunplay.Is this something I'd enjoy if I also liked Binary Domain?
thats an apt description of the game. IndeedBROS VANQUISH IS LIKE GEARS OF WAR BUT ROCKET SLIDINGH PAST EXPLOSIONS AND ROBOTS AND A MILLIIOON BULLETS COMING AT YOU
AND THEN YLU GET INTO COVER BUT ONLY TO SMOKE A CIGAREEETTE
PCI: How has Bayonetta been doing, sales-wise? Is the SteamSpy estimate of 160,000 owners anywhere close?
JC: It’s not far off, I think we’re just over 170,000 currently. We’re really happy with the performance and response from the fans on the forums.
PCI: Whenever Shenmue has come up as a potential future HD PC release, licensing issues have been cited. Is that accurate? What are the particular licensing issues there?
JC: Whenever you’re considering re-releasing games from the catalogue you assess everything from technology licences, music licences, voice over artist agreements, in game assets and so on. The more there are, there more time it takes to check.
PCI: SEGA now seem committed to releasing PC ports on a fairly consistent basis, can we expect even more in the semi-near future?
JC: You can.
JC: You can.
It would also make playing through the series way easier since getting Yakuza on PS3 costs an above-average amount. At least for Yakuza 3 & 5.I hope they consider porting the Yakuza series to PC, I don't have a PS3, so I greatly enjoyed the good PC port of Valkyria Chronicles.
Just so you know, the original Panzer Dragoon is available for PC and from what I know it's a pretty competent port with few to no issues on modern systems.I think it's highly unlikely that Sega will bring Yakuza to the PC - they probably have a deal with Sony for that series. However, past franchises that have been forgotten like Panzer Dragoon seem likely - I'd personally really like a Panzer Dragoon Orta port (especially as part of a collection including the first two games), and Virtua Fighter Final Showdown (even though it's a billion years old at this point, it's still unlikely).

kill.switch is the better version of Gears of War, in fact it was designed by the same guy (Chris Esaki). IIRC WinBack was the first cover-based shooter, no?what the fuck?

Yakuza and Persona are 'on that list' of games Sega wants to bring to PC
"Of course it's something we're talking about it… that would just be incredible to bring that to the PC audience."
Despite neglecting our platform of choice for long enough, the number of Japanese-born console games being ported to PC has risen quite significantly in recent years. In 2017 alone, Sega has delivered both Vanquish and Bayonetta to desktops which has us wondering: which games might be next?
Speaking to John Clark, Sega Europe's senior vice president of commercial publishing, at E3, our Samuel asked that very question.
"If I asked you to write me a list of ten games you want Sega to bring out on PC, it probably isn't any different from the list [we have]," says Clark. "I could ask anyone at Sega: write me a list. And what motivates it? I think there's a certain catalogue that people just have an affinity with.
"If you send [your] list over I'll tell you which ones we can tick, which ones are on our list, which ones are possibilities, which ones are not possibilities, which ones we've talked about, which ones we're talking about, which ones we're working on, you know, they'll be on that list."
It seems Sega is conscious of community expectation, then, something the company itself has somewhat perpetuated with the porting of the aforementioned fan-favoured classics. So, is a game like Yakuza one that might fit that purview?
"It's on that list," continues Clark. "Of course something we're talking about it… that would just be incredible to bring that to the PC audience."
When pressed about Persona, Clark echoes the above. "Of course, of course—I keep trying to get in ahead of you, I'm trying to guess what you're going to say next. We don't feel that anything is off the table in terms of these conversations. The fact that as an organisation we're having these healthy conversations, they're constructive, we recognise the value, we recognise the value of the community, the IP. The IP has got continued life to grow and get bigger."
Nothing confirmed, then, but I'm suddenly very confident we'll see the likes of Yakuza and Persona on PC sooner rather than later. Speaking to the former, though, how would Sega approach release as far as the chronology of the series is concerned? The original 2005 game was remastered and launched in Japan last year—named Yakuza Kiwami—and is due to launch on PS4 in the west this year. Would that mean prequel Yakuza 0 comes first, followed by the remade original—or would Sega stick to the schedule as per its console run? Speculate away in the comments below.
And before you go—keep your eyes peeled for Samuel's interview in full which offers some really interesting insights into the process of porting Japanese games.
