By the time that Tokyo Game Show 2008 kicked off back in October, a fair few people had already snaffled a copy of Weekly Famitsu, intended for release the following day. It showed Xbox 360's hardware sales ahead of PS3's in Japan for the fourth week in a row (It had remained ahead up until early November.)
It set the tone for Microsoft's ballsy push into the Japanese market that was to be made evident at the convention. With the price of the console now below that of Wii in Japan, and its gaming catalogue promising tasty software deals with Japanese publishers like Square Enix, can Xbox 360 really conquer a region that previously seemed so very uninterested in what it had to offer?
Originally launched in 2011, El Shaddai: Ascension of the Metatron is coming to Nintendo Switch, so It's time to look back at the original.
Still have my ps3 copies. Bought it at launch and another one when I found it cheap and in perfect condition about 10 years ago. I wouldn’t buy it on Switch but if they made a PS5 version I would. I still have one of my PS3 Fats hooked up so good to go either way.
Id play it again on the switch. I wished my 360 version was bc but this is still a good way to play.
The artist behind Fallout 4’s Deathclaw reveals just how bad things got back when Bethesda took over the series
People are stupid I get it. No one should feel unsafe,
But I think they need to talk about why they cut so many corners during the development process and why none of their games ever look current. And why they think all of this is okay while they charge full price.
As much as Bethesda deserve criticism, that's not really relevant to the reveal of Fallout 3 in 2007.
The default angle Kotaku always go for is to highlight the worst in gaming.
I would’ve focused on the creative.
CGM Writes: While we were over at PAX East, we were able to sit down with Goichi Suda (Suda51) and talk about the upcoming remaster of Shadows of the Damned
No.
A turnaround really? Talk about 360 getting a free pass. If 360 turned around in Japan then PS3 has zero things to worry about in America. The only time they actually sell more than they do is when an exclusive game comes out and other then that the sales go back to the way they are a year ago. After 2009 I doubt 360 will have any exclusives with Japanese developers unless Mystwalker gets payed another load of money to make more.
This edge site is a freakin' joke.
I can forgive bloggers, but bloggers who are paid to be journalists... no excuse! Do they believe what they write?
Edge, they use to be good back in the pre-WWW days because they were the best source for high quality screenshots of games.
That was a long, long, long time ago.
Now they are nothing more than a pathetic joke of a site.
Microsoft has done a pretty good job of getting titles available on the 360 that Japanese gamers seem to be interested in.
