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.
