That headline must have surely confused you, well it did us anyway. Megaman (pun intended) Keiji Inafune announced his new game Soul Sacrifice just a few days ago and he wants fans to know exactly what to call it.
Sammy: "Two high-profile PS Vita exclusives, Freedom Wars and Soul Sacrifice, will have their servers deactivated on 24th December, 2021. Both titles, published by Sony in response to its loss of Monster Hunter exclusivity, were built around co-operative play, and maintained relatively dedicated communities to this day."
Oreshika is also getting it servers shut down too. Big shame for these games. Honestly some of Vita's gems.
I'm surprised these were even still up! Loved the Vita though, had some great times with that handheld.
These games deserve sequels or remakes. It was Soul Sacrifice that even got me into Monster Hunter.
This why you never should have achievements/trophies locked to online only features.
The former Mega Man producer's latest game, Dragon & Colonies, is going to dragon heaven.
I kinda feel bad for him at this point but he did bring it on himself with mighty number 9.
Seems everything he touches since he left Capcom becomes filled with misfortune.
- Started work on a 3DS game called Kaio: King of Pirates that later got canceled
- Yaiba: Ninja Gaiden Z was a disappointing game that all but killed the Ninja Gaiden franchise
- Mighty No.9 failed to live up to the grand expectations set for it
- ReCore was very below average title that didn’t leave much of an impression
- Red Ash has fallen off the radar and the public hasn’t heard anything about its progression
All these flops from the same man who dissed Japanese developers a decade ago. He even defended Phil Fish’s harsh criticism of Japanese devs yet Inafune himself has hasn’t had any critical hits of his own since leaving Capcom.
Level-5 Comcept’s Keiji Inafune recently sat down for an interview where he talked about how the idea for Dragon & Colonies came about, how they had to fit the needs of the smartphone crowd, and more.
What a dumb headline.
How sackrilegious.
Give me back those seconds of my life
LOL dafuq is this article?
It doesn't even make any sense. Why would you shorten "Sacrifice" to "Suck"? Unless you're purposely unfunnily trying to hate on the game.
Why did i even just take the time to comment on this? Im so confused...
If you have an accent, like my Korean friend from college, Soul would actually out as "so." And I could see Sacrifice, shortened to sack, sounding like "suck."
Maybe that's what Inafune is referring to? That the english title when pronounced by someone with an accent sounds like something else? I could see that being a problem, if that was the case.
I mean... Pac-Man was originally supposed to be Puc-Man. But they changed it, because they thought it would be too easy to scratch off part of the "P" and be... oh u know the story.
