Take a step back, and suddenly it seems like the major players of consumer gaming aren't even driving on the same track. This war isn't about the "most powerful" console anymore; it's about creating the right experience for today's gamer. We ducked under the unspoken truce of last week's Game Developer Conference to get a bead on Nintendo, Microsoft and Sony's portable gaming strategies. Read full story to see what they're doing to differentiate themselves from the competition.
Gary Green said: We have a juxtaposition of 2D and 3D visuals, flashy turn-based combat, quirky anime characters with cheeky dialogue with plenty of partial nudity; Yes, this is a Compile Heart JRPG. Whilst the engine is borrowed from Hyperdimension Neptunia mk2, Mugen Souls is more of a Disgaea spin-off. It’s not a strategy RPG as such, it merely sits within Disgaea’s ever-expanding universe (Multiverse? Netherverse? Your guess is as good as mine). You won’t find cameos though, since Mugen Souls is a franchise which aims to stand on its own two feet.
Huzaifa from eXputer: "2008 was home to the likes of Call of Duty: World at War, Dead Space, GTA 4, Far Cry 2, Left 4 Dead, and many other hits, which is outright remarkable."
While the mainstream media always sees things turning in favor of the hero, here are 6 games that own being a bad guy.
Pretty much all of these games listed are based around a morality system you don't have to be bad and you don't have to be good.
It seems to have left out some real amazing games like red dead redemption 1/2,ass effect and true crime la/ny
Armored Core VI?
Ok, I'm really missing something here. Just beat chapter 3 earlier this evening, unlocked A-rank Arena fights. I'm not seeing or sensing any branching paths or morality system and I've done every side mission and arena fight available to me up to that fight.
Is something big coming soon to branch the story?
No mention of Grand Theft Auto? Saints Row (original trilogy), Manhunt? Also The Suffering (depending on the ending you get).
the 3ds is clearly kicking ass
heard ALOT of pro Vita talk from friends.
Some of them resistant to handheld gaming,others fans since day 0.
Microsoft doesnt have a portable O.o
Love my vita and my 3ds. I do play the 3ds alot more lately because of re revelations and kid icarus uprising. Those are the 2 best games ive ever played on any handheld and im completely in love with KIU right now, its prob my goty already. I like the 3ds because it has games not possible on consoles and unique games built for the system. I like the vita because it gets console like games on the go and il finally get to have persona 4 and ffx on the go. The screen is really beautiful and i really like the back touchpad, its a great new feature.
The portable market is Nintendo's....Sony can have some of the pie, but its still Nintendo's playground. MS can try to get in but the most they can expect is a share like Sony's because they will not take Nintendo out of first place in portables. Plus MS can't even sell home consoles in Japan......imagine a portable!! They know it wouldnt be wise to attempt that. But hey, good luck to all the companies.
