Like they'd want the GBA translation.

Re: Persona 5 Is In Development, But Won’t Be Released For Quite Some Time

They're clearly trying to jump the gun on 3DS and PSVita though, even if through ports.

And Persona doesn't have the status today that it had in the PS2 days, plus PS2 production pipeline couldn't be easily converted into HD. I counting on the fact that current gen engines will have little problem running on the new generation of consoles because their architecture and overall hierarquy won't change.

Given that they could be able to support all the new platforms right off the bat.

I'm waging that perhaps they should focus on coming out early on the next gen of consoles, seeing they're only beginning development now, no way they can match Persona 4's 18 month development time when they don't have a previous game using the engine up and running (and some assets to recycle)

Persona 3 deserved the same treatment (and perhaps a bundle for HD consoles, since were so collection merry go round now)

It's a shame they never upgraded it.

This port is all fine and dandy, but it doesn't match nor surpass the Wii version graphics.

I prefer physical formats myself.

Re: Why Isn’t Silent Hill 4 In Silent Hill HD Collection?

lostinblue — Mon, 22 Aug 2011 22:58:50 -0000

I liked it as well. Pretty much on par with SH3 for me.

It was certainly the last of a golden age and not where the quality started going down.

Oh well, they'll probably do yet another collection later on anyway.

They could, but they probably won't.

Re: Which Harvest Moon Game Would You Like On Another System?

lostinblue — Fri, 19 Aug 2011 21:56:46 -0000

original harvest moon game with full resolution (panoramic) or something on any portable, and the N64 or Psone like graphics with pre-rendered sprites.

Other than that I'd like to see Rune Factory Frontier minus the runey system, on the 3DS, I think it would fit really well.

because unlike PSP, it's more powerful than a PS2.

they actually downgraded them severely. seems like the plan now is releasing it on a 2 GB cart.

lostinblue — Thu, 18 Aug 2011 09:16:34 -0000

from what I've seen in peace walker… They are.

It really depends on the developer, Ready at Dawn clearly didn't go that route for instance.

Re: PlayStation Vita Devkits Cost Far Less Than PSP And PlayStation 3 Kits

lostinblue — Wed, 17 Aug 2011 11:52:53 -0000

Sorry to be a wedding crasher on this one but…

"In an effort to increase development for PlayStation 3, Sony today lowered the cost of its PS3 development kit to $2,000, the second price cut the company has made since demo units began shipping to developers in 2005."

Source: http://arstechnica.com/gami...

PS3 Dev Kits were 20.000 at launch, but both PSP and PS3 dev kit prices have been a axed in 2007 and 2009, at least. And the PS Vita dev kit price should be in line with them.

Yup, I liked them as well.

I think that kind of campaign is long overdue with parents not really paying attention to game age ratings and the like (also movies) explaining it is the way to go.

I'm wondering were they'll play those though; TV or retailer stores? Retailer stores seem to be an effective and somewhat inexpensive way against television.

It's cheap, at least for european standards. Mine were way more expensive and they aren't exactly top range

I recall reading it on the wiki's, something to do with the future soccer team or something. I never really followed the plot (I'm still waiting for inazuma eleven 2 and 3 to come out in europe :3)

Re: Nintendo President Explains The Cause For Nintendo 3DS Price Cut

lostinblue — Sat, 30 Jul 2011 16:24:00 -0000

Well, they have to change, or at least they should.

Capcom seems to understand… to an extent how important fans are (seth and sven's input with the community just to name an example)… And they really have to catter for their core userbase… that's all that can and should be said tbh.

If anything they really need to find their place because they go from the whole uncalled for fan ego-rub of the Dead Rising 2: Off the Record (I mean, wtf? The fans didn't like the other character model so let's recycle the game and drop frank in? That's stupid, I think they should stand by what they created instead of caving in just because… and making it so that the current game is, well, turd?)

And then they cancel MML3.

That's two whole different spectrums if I ever saw them… And would anyone really complain about Capcom not releasing a Frank edition? we weren't even expecting it, unlike MML3.

Then, and this has to be mentioned, they're UTTER, UTTER… I mean, UTTER crap on their DLC strategy, I mean… Super Street Fighter 4, Resident Evil 5 Gold Edition, the Dead Rising example… They sell them as new games rather than releasing that content as DLC, but they release DLC that's already on the disk (RE5 mercenaries…)

It's just ridiculous.

The delays are no doubt accountable to the slow start of course, at least partially. No third party wants to send their titles to die out there or rush them to meet that end but at the same time they don't want the platform to be dominated by Nintendo (which is what Nintendo is trying to not do)

It's complicated, and a learning process for Nintendo.

As for Capcom, I can't possibly defend them, MML3 didn't seem like a expensive game to do, or high budget at that, I can't see why they couldn't swallow the bullet and give it a chance. They're pretty profitable and will always have other franchises/games to fall back on, I think every third party should channel some of their profits into what they consider "risky titles"

I mean:

-> http://www.vg247.com/2011/0...
(tl;dr version: Capcom sees fiscal year 2011 profit rise 156%)

For god's sake, there's no excuse for while earning more (156% more!), taking less risks. If they have a growth spur they ought to capitalize on it. But they're accountable for their own conservative'ness. (and we now know why Inafune left)
