| Doobie_wop said: The general consumer isn't smart enough to research the products they want to purchase, so instead of picking up a good game like Enslaved, they'd pick up three copies of Hannah Montana: Cow girl poke around, mainly because that's one of the few games they know anything about. It also doesn't help that it was marketed poorly and that it's a short experience. I still believe that Enslaved should of been an exclusive title to either the PS3 or the 360. It would have built up a fair bit more interest, it would have been thrown around in these console comparison things that happen every year and it could have at least had legs as new consumers bought consoles and are looking for any of the new exclusive titles on the system (similar to Valykria Chronicles, Uncharted 1 and Demon's Souls). Ninja Theory are great developers, but they don't seem to be able to catch a break. I think the best option would be to try and sell themselves to a publisher like Sony or Microsoft and work with them to build games. I doubt it'd happen, but it's a nice thought. I also like the direction DMC is going in. DMC4 was boring as fuck and I welcome a sudden change to the franchise. |
I actully have very similar views. i mean okay a lot of people dont think Enslaved was an incredible game. i can see a few problems with it that couldve been better, but imo it was very good and i felt the developers were trying to do something very unique and original with the title that i really enjoyed.
i think a lot of people believe that being exclusive wouldve been better.
i actully havent played Heavenly Sword, but i also think NT are very good developers. i also really like the style of the new DmC, i mean DMC4 for me was just too high maintainence. too many combos to remember, just to get an S rank, for dodging loads of hits. it just got so repititive and banal. tbh after DMC1 i never really felt any of the DMCs were much fun, they were just like the RPG equalivent of a dungeon crawler. the gameplay took too much patience; then i discovered things like God of War or Prince of Persia, while not neccessarily as high octain as DMC, were more fun to play imho.
and NT will likely bring a new depth to the story and characters of the DmC universe, so i'm looking foward to that. but however i am seriously concerned about the use of Unreal Engine 3, i dont know how DmCs action will turn out using that engine, because its way too slow!!
