Look I'm not trying to act like I know more than these guys who have been in this business for so many years but dude. What hardware capabilities? Whats the next xbox gonna do? Double as a grill or something? Have AI to do my taxes? It just seems so weird that theyre doing everything but building a library of exclusives to compete. People have ps5s because of its (console) exclusives. People have switches because of their exclusives.
Unless it takes you to another world like some SAO ish then whatever the hardware does will be pointless if it comes with little to no exclusive titles. It wont turn things around immediately but you gotta start somewhere.
My most anticipated game right now. I think the cyberpunk setting is cool but I'm hoping there will be lighter stages. Kinda dont want the whole game in darkness lol. Also great to hear that theyre in the polishing phase. Thats a lot of polishing assuming the release will be around october or november.
As much as I hate subscription services, I'd be down for this if they included HD versions of a bunch of their dreamcast, saturn, og xbox and arcade games.
Dynamite deka, burning rangers, zombie revenge, HoTD, JSR, Planet harriers, Sega race tv, after burner climax, Motoraid, Spikeout, slashout, nights, daytona, outrunners, outrun 2, virtua cop, Gunblade NY, LA machinegun, the older virtua fighters, virtual on, space channel 5, magical truck adventure, lets go jungle/island, panzer dragoon, gun valkyrie, crazy taxi, fighters megamix, sonic the fighters, fighting vipers, etc etc. They have a LOT of cool stuff they could add.
I'd very much rather they released these as collections that you can just buy but thats probs never gonna happen if it still hasnt already. So its either having them in a sub service or waiting every few years for the next yakuza game to include one
Gotta give the man his respect. He's a genuine creator who loves video games. You can easily see it in his work. Its great to hear he wants to focus on AA and indie games as well. I'm wishing him and CLOVERS the absolute best. Hopefully more of the other platinum vets join him. And hopefully platinum will bounce back and still put out cool games in the future
Wish I could get as hype for TGA as I used to with E3. Sure we've had better events before but these shows just seem underwhelming most of the time. I still appreciate gif for doing these shows bc idk who else would. It's just that with E3 I was truly hype more often than not. Now with tga I just go "Eh. Let's see what gets announced "
Tho I think I'd be more attracted to this show if they changed things up. Address certain problems in the industry like the layoffs, insane budgets, maybe advocate for physical games. Perhaps they could have a segment that talks about any crazy stuff that mightve happened during the year, developer interviews, etc etc.
Make it feel like a show about games instead of having celebrities advertising their energy drinks and giving half the show to kojima
A shame. I liked this game and I so wish it was just a regular $40-$50 game with offline, single player content, unlockables, etc. It probs wouldve still failed but who knows for sure. One day this'll be offline completely. Like I wonder how long it'll be till these bozos actually get the picture and understand that live service games just arent the way to go
I was furious about JP studio closing but it makes sense. I'm just glad we have team asobi instead of sony just erasing them completely. Maybe Asobi ends up expanding (not too much), putting out various games and becomes the new japan studio. Wishing them the absolute best
Theres plenty of creative and fun games but not enough people show up for them. Sometimes they go under the radar bc theyre overshadowed by other releases, sometimes people just dont look for them, sometimes people see them and just ignore them or come up with some stupid reason not to buy them. Sometimes they sell very well and still get dropped because they sold 5 million and not 50 million. Its mainly the big blockbusters that sell double digit millions which is why devs are relying on them.
Bayonetta origins, Atlas Fallen, Gal guardians, Gostwire tokyo, evil west, shadow warrior 3, hi fi rush, penny's big break, Bakeru, Kunitsu gami, Prince of persia lost crown, psychonauts 2, etc etc Many great games that didnt sell enough or just bombed. Theyre being made but when these kinds of games dont sell then what can we do?
Its too bad sunset overdrive failed bc I could see insomniac making a multiplayer shooter based off of it. I think that'd probably be the only kind of hero shooter I'd be interested in
Its such a shame really. Some of these games look like theyre pushing anime games further with their animations and gameplay but just F it all up with the gacha stuff. Even tho something like ZZZ has wonderful animation and very cool characters, the grind and simple combat sooner or later become stale and tiring
I sure would love for more studios to license their IP in the future. Looking at you and your clover games capcom. Kamiya, Platinum, Tango, and Mikami are all still alive and well
This game is awesome. Some levels get pretty hard but it's still great. Biggest issue tho is that the framerate gets so bad at times that you'd think your console would just shutdown 🤣
It's still really impressive that they were able to make such a game on the ps2.
@Jrs1 I'm completely down for a pepsi man remake. I can see them adding stuff like a parkour trick system, different paths and mini objectives, etc. Almost like a sonic game
So around 800 bucks for more detailed backgrounds that I wouldnt even notice, more blades of grass on the ground that I also wouldnt notice, and a disc drive and stand that I'd have to pay for separately. Assing my laugh off.
I think it looks really good. Far better than most anime fighters we've gotten in the past few years. I'm glad its done by another dev (tamsoft I think) and not by cc2 or byking again. Not sure how far the mechanics will go but it still looks pretty fun
Looks fan-flippin-tastic. FAN. FLIPPIN. TASTIC. The open world bums me out since very few open worlds were actually entertaining to me but maybe this one will be enjoyable. Can't wait
I saw sega and museum in the same sentence and immediately thought it was gonna be some kind of virtual museum with a bunch of Sega stuff in it that you can examine and whatnot. Sort of like the playstation room in astros playroom.
Oh come AWN man. First they didnt want kiryu hitting women now this. I guess these devs just dont like cool things. Makes me wonder what other great ideas developers or their higher ups mightve prevented from happening. They put the cool badass fighting yakuza man in monkey ball and a golf game but refuse to put him in a fighting game where he can actually fight. Like what he does in his own games. Smh
I aint rushing them or anything but I was just hoping they wouldve shown off more. A level walktrhough, cutscenes, more characters, etc. Its been a long time since the last showing and this is all they have. Its a bummer.
It looks solid but I need some raw gameplay to truly judge. Still I'm a bit bummed out now. I was hoping arcsys was doing it and actually trying their hand at action games. I dont think theres ever been a yuke's game that I was really interested in. Hopefully the final game will look better. Its still nice to see these classic bralwers coming back in a different style than the same pixel art stuff we've been getting
@Westernwolf4 kind of an odd comment. Sunsets traversal is similar to Spiderman but its still pretty different. Feels more platformy. Most of the time in Spiderman you can travel just by web swinging alone without the extra jumps or wall runs. They're pretty different movement systems.
A lot of us want something a little more different than the usual grounded and realistic Super hero game. A lot of us do care more for gameplay than story
