Forums - Gaming - What was the *megaton* announcement for Sony?

TheSteve on 03 June 2009

Further tking thewind out of the sales of the "megaton"... Square Enix has already stated that they're considering releasing FF XIV for 360 (check Gamespot or the 13 threads here).

As I said before, anouncing a game as an "exclusive" as your "big anouncement" is just asking for the other guy to get a freebie "megaton" when they anounce it's coming to their system, too.

You thought Metroid was a megaton? I'm happy a new one is coming, but I really didn't think it was that big of an announcement.

You crazy? It's huge.

I know it's a huge announcement, just not at quite that status. It seems along the lines of the timed exclusivity of Final Fantasy XIV.

@ twest

I'm not sure what to make of the trailer. Is it 2D? 3D? A mix of both?

Is it a Metroidvania kind of platformer or it like the MP games? Is it like Ninja Gaiden?

The trailer looked very cool, but I'm not too sure on how it'll all work.

Nintendo's old IP's are of mythical status.

Any release is MEGATON. Specially these days Nintendo is spending so much dollars on the "expanded audience".

I think it was Final Fantasy VII being released on PSN, since they usually update on Thursday but that game made them do it on a Tuesday. I was literally shocked and amazed.

NBA Finals, don't miss it.

I think that's a little silly. Shouldn't it be an expectation for Nintendo to release great games from their old franchises every year?

megaton announcements are dead...

 

 

let's say if Kojima were to announce MGS5, people would say *expected**expected**expected* or *multiplat**multiplat**multiplat*
