Well , they said that when Ninja Gaiden 2 came out. so... moral of the story , never trust Tecmo OR Namco-Bandai.
Never been impressed with the game before now and thats unlikely to change. Not even close graphically, artistically or indeed I suspect playability wise to Gears. With me having such a close minded attitude before I play the game then it would need to be pretty bloody good to impress anyway.
Given its such a late announcement I doubt this has affected the PS3 version in anyway, no doubt it will be the excuse though for it bombing as usual. The most likely reason its gone multiplat is to rake in more cash on sheer userbase numbers because they know the quality isn't up to selling as a AAA exclusive.
Well, it didn't look great anyway, and I had actually forgotten about it a bit. Even though there aren't that many shooters coming out in Spring ({ME 2} BfBC2), I will still be very busy anyway. And it does make sense, if Sony don't pay for it, why not make it mp

See, this line of thinking has always bothered me. "More access to everyone" means just put it on any (and in some cases every) system and call it a day. But what about the console itself? I'd rather see consoles be taken advantage of then to just have everything put on every system just for "more access". To me, the access is there already. If you can't get the system a game is on, then you can't play the game, it's just that simple. It's also another reason why I think we see so much praise for PS3 exclusives, in terms of tech, but not as much for the Xbox 360. Is it the 360's fault, absolutely not. Problem is, people aren't building new engines for the console. They just depend on the UE3 and put it on the 360 where it's "cheaper to develop", and then the console can't show it's real potential. BUT THEN........... when you look at games like Alan Wake, Forza 3, Splinter Cell: Conviction and the like, you see the 360 has potential to shock the masses from a technical standpoint. That's when I start scratching my head. Would I rather just have a moderately better looking/performing Assassin's Creed 2 on the 360, or a full-fledged, well thoughtout/developed project like Alan Wake in my hands, and the answer becomes clear. Exclusives will continue to shape the market IMO, though there will be multiplats that contrinbute as well (MW2, Assassin's Creed 2, Batman Arkham Asylum). But taking away excclusives from the industry has not helped it much IMO, it's just given developers a reason to say: "ah well, put it on multiple systems, we'll profit that way". Sure, making money back on your product is always a plus. But I think with that train of thought should also come with the idea that taking your time on a project and making it the best it can psossibly be, while taking advantage of the work the manufacturers put into their specific product, should be at the forefront.
Ok, sorry for the rant it's just something I've thought about a lot, and it's one of the reaons why I think this gen, as with future gens, may never eclipse gens like the 16 or 32-Bits because it no longer seems like innovation is at the forefront, but just making sure your pocket is fat. Again, just my opinion. |
Trust me when I say that I love technological advances a lot, but actually making a profit is probably the most important thing about creating a big game. Without profit, you lose potential to create bigger and better games.
@ bolded: No, making money back on your game is not just a plus. It is absolutely essential that you make money. If you don't, you won't be able to finance other projects or guarantee the people working at the studio continued work.
Some studios gain the luxury of being financed by someone like Sony or Microsoft , but that doesn't mean we are guaranteed sequels to their games. Lair 2? Not happening.
Would I want to see a game being more refined if it means being exclusive? Absolutely. Would I rather see that the game is insured a profit, and thus increase chances that we will see more games from the studio? Absolutely.
All of this is a tradeoff you get for increasing production costs, simple as that.
Just my 2 cents of course 
oh well this should make some x360 users happy at least, i'm still gonna buy the ps3 version, and try it out, it looked interesting.
it's the future of handheld

The money part isn't my concern, remember my motto is: "innovate, it works better", but I'm picking it up on PS3 because that's where it was initially intended to go. Unless that version is terrible, that's where I'm getting it. |
Strange logic, but whatever suits you I guess.
Oh, and just to add to my previous post, better graphics are not innovation. It's evolution.
This game will sell very well on the xbox, i was surprised it was exclusive to the PS3 in the first place
The game looks awesome and gameplay reminds me of "Kill Switch"
Getting it day one :)

@PullusPardus and CGI-Quality
I had to edit my comment because I was talking about the marketing. When you want to make your game sell this generation, all you have to say is:
-Best looking game
-Only works on a certain console
etc etc. It's just sad for me to see this kind of thing happening because I am playing videogames since the NES era.
