I stated that Nintendo's first party titles were the ones I enjoyed don't see how that is a contradiction 2. I would be overjoyed if this comes to pass. Here's hoping that this is true. 3. TGS will not help the situation with western development, only Japanese. This at best can solve only half of the problem. I never claimed western support would get better but that japanese companies might release action games that western audiences would enjoy as well. Helping remedy their absense. 4. There were graphs posted by waron that show PSP software has been decreasing in quantity for the last two years at a roughly 20% rate. Go back to read it. That is in comparison only with itself. 5. Those games all came out on the PSOne. Square shaved off most of it's non-RPG aspirations long ago. Also I clearly explained that the majority support was either RPGs or spinoffs featuring RPG characters, like the new Parasite Eve, FF Dissidia and the Prinny game from NIS. I did acknowledge the fact there were other genres being approached but they were the exception, not the rule. Just because it's a spinoff featuring a popular character doesn't change it's genre or relevance towards helping create a more varied library 6. Ok, fair enough, but my point was that their trying will fail because Sony is not putting more energy into the PSP to accomodate this third party downward spiral. They are simply changing the franchises they put on there, like how we won't have a new Syphon Filter because we will now have Resistance. It doesn't give us more games, just different ones. I said they are NOT the cure but TRYING to be 7. Capcom supports hasn't dwindled? You speak of one series, which has made one game per year. How about Capcom's support outside of Monster Hunter? In 2006, Capcom released 10 PSP titles. In 2007, Capcom released 2 PSP titles. In 2008, Capcom released 2 PSP titles. How do you not see dwindling support? Capcom released 2 1/2 times more titles in 2006 alone than 2007 and 2008 combined. Most of those 10 titles we ports and simple remakes of vastly older games requiring much less time and effort than even ps2 ports and new games which comes back to me talking about how the dev cycle is longer on the platform(4). If this isn't the case i would expect MH3 to be out already since there isn't much of a graphical update and the wii is more powerful. Capcom loves to release a barrage of ports on new systems before they get around to the real meat and bones and making real games which takes more time. 8. Sega released 7 PSP titles in 2006. They then released about 11 titles in 2007. So far in 2008 they've put out about 2 titles, one of which is only available in Japan right now, and won't be localized for a bit. Sure there are a helping of other Sega titles on the PSP, if you live in Japan, but a good 40% of Sega's titles are never leaving the land of the rising sun. Could you please list some of these titles for me as i'm having some trouble finding that many sega titles and can only think of 3. |
