"Pier was a chef, a gifted and respected chef who made millions selling his dishes to the residents of New York City and Boston, he even had a famous jingle playing in those cities that everyone knew by heart. He also had a restaurant in Los Angeles, but not expecting LA to have such a massive population he only used his name on that restaurant and left it to his least capable and cheapest chefs. While his New York restaurant sold kobe beef for $100 and his Boston restaurant sold lobster for $50, his LA restaurant sold cheap hotdogs for $30. Initially these hot dogs sold fairly well because residents of los angeles were starving for good food and hoped that the famous name would denote a high quality, but most were disappointed with what they ate. Seeing the success of his cheap hot dogs in LA, Pier thought "why bother giving Los Angeles quality meats when I can oversell them on cheap hotdogs forever, and since I don't care about the product anyways, why bother advertising them? So Pier continued to only sell cheap hotdogs in LA and was surprised to see that they no longer sold. Pier's conclusion? Residents of Los Angeles don't like food."

"The so-called "hardcore" gamer is a marketing brainwashed, innovation shunting, self-righteous idiot who pays videogame makers far too much money than what is delivered."

Hmm never played the DS versions so don't know what they are like but many say they are like Pokemon. 3rd person adventure so I guess the Dead space wii haters will be happy. I'll wait for some more details though.

^LOL.

 

OT: So I guess this is what Pokemon MMO would have looked like...minus the sword etc. This could actually work if done right.

Thats uncalled for. All we wanted was a game that was like other games on other systems. As i said in an email i sent to Bozon, we want a "proper" Castlevania/ Res Evil / Dead Space / SF4. It's really about feeling screwed by these companies and EA did not make us feel any different yesterday. They said they would be different, they would devote 50%, they would satisfy the core segment. What they have done instead is copy Capcom, who btw have not been the best of friends with Wii owners.



“When we make some new announcement and if there is no positive initial reaction from the market, I try to think of it as a good sign because that can be interpreted as people reacting to something groundbreaking. ...if the employees were always minding themselves to do whatever the market is requiring at any moment, and if they were always focusing on something we can sell right now for the short term, it would be very limiting. We are trying to think outside the box.” - Satoru Iwata - This is why corporate multinationals will never truly understand, or risk doing, what Nintendo does.

Anyway, what do you guys think of the Screenshots? I think they don't look too bad at all.

Graphics are meh, of course, but that's fine. This game has the potential to be awesome. I'll wait for reviews though.



A game I'm developing with some friends:

www.xnagg.com/zombieasteroids/publish.htm

It is largely a technical exercise but feedback is appreciated.

Looks pretty good. I really like the first DS game so I'll most likely being getting this.



It looks very interesting. It's on my radar now. Have any of you played the DS games.......how did you find them?



neet. Reminds me of PSO. I'll have to look into it.

Oh no it's perfectly called for.  What was uncalled for was the rude and disrespectful backlash of a lot of so called "wii" gamers against the trailer with no justification whatsoever aside from their own personal disappointment.  That is what's uncalled for.  And don't include me in that we thing.  I have over 50 Wii games and I am mildly interested in what EA has to offer with Dead Space.  You can speak for yourself but not me.  Don't tell me what games are good or what developers support me because only I know that and judging by the number of Wii games I own and you own I think I might have a better idea anyways.  I personally don't like to judge a game until I know a decent amount about it instead of just an opening trailer.  Of course my interest will flucuate given the styel of the game but I won't blame anyone buy myself if that's the case. 

Anyways with Spectrobes it's not surprising that it finally decided to go console bound.  Was only a matter of time.  As some said the pictures are kinda meh but I await to see how it looks in motion along with some more details ont he core gameplay and features.  Maybe if it stands out it can be that pokemon substitute on consoles for an amount of time eh.
