OMG THIS!!! PLEASE HAPPEN
| pokoko said: You know, I was scoffing and rolling my eyes when I started the video but giving the dogs voices and letting you take them out on a mystery adventure is a pretty darn good idea. Even I started to think it would be somewhat entertaining. I've been saying for the last year that Sony needs to create some kid/casual IPs and just throw them out to see if anything sticks. If they market this well, it might be a pretty good addition. Price needs to come down before it has wide market appeal, though. If you haven't watched the video, give it a try before dismissing the potential here. The voices and setting go a long way toward giving this an identity. |
You still don't know shit about Kingdom Under Fire, but I can totally agree that Sony needs to make more stuff aimed at that segment of the market. The problem is that most of their efforts in that direction are charmless and grating and come off as totally cynical cash grabs. This game looks to be no exception with its Playstation Home aesthetic sensibilities.
When the real Nintendogs sold a mere fraction of the original and even Ubi has decided to stop flogging the virtual pet craze, this sad "me, too" game isn't going to help the poor, abused Vita's situation at all.
| spemanig said: This isn't going to get anyone to buy a Vita. Not when the handheld pet craze has died, and a carbon copy version is available without the creepy voices added in. It's just as uncanny as Kinectimals with it's creepy smiling tiger cubs. Why do people insist on personifying animals!? That's NOT cute. It's fucking terrifying. A dog acting like a normal, stupid dog is cute. |
There is a massive animated film industry worth billions that says a LOT of people disagree with you.
I think this is a pretty good concept only because it has never been done before, this is the kind of out of the box thinking the industry needs, who knows, with a more catchy name maybe this could go on and sell 25 million copies...

"I THINK WE'RE GONNA BE BEST FRIENDS FOREVER," said the talking dog with murder in its eyes.

You, sir, are a Scrooge! If this is what Kingdom Under Fire does to a person then I don't want to know about it!
Besides, kids are weak to cynical cash grabs. Look at most American toy fads. You can look at them and tell they were designed as nothing more than money makers and that kids are stupid for falling for it.
Of itself, it might not mean much, but it adds to the pile.
Sosssss cute.

You may have a point there. I thought Skylanders was too nakedly cynical to succeed.
If this is true, I don't know what to say but Sony has no shame.
