The Action-RPG genre needs an enema and this is where Deus Ex: Human Revolution enters into the scene."
Saad from eXputer: "I'm glad I don't have to choose between Square Enix, Atlus, and FromSoftware due to bad release windows and Shadow of the Erdtree."
Atlus is releasing their game one week before Erdtree, SE is releasing theirs one week after.
HZD released four days before Zelda, HFW released one week before Elden Ring.
It seems to me like they are still releasing their games too close to Erdtree.
Yuji Naka was fined $1.2 million and given a suspended jail sentence for the crime.
I find his comments around how Balan turned out to be very insightful as to why the game is trash. He basically apologises for its existence
can you please give some of us who don't know anything about this, a summary of what happened?
Balan was knowingly rushed out by S-E, it had an extremely short dev cycle and was fairly low budget.
Naka was the game's director until near the end when he was fired or perhaps he quit, I forgot.
@Chocoburger Yeah they did fire and replace him which caused him to unload a bunch of rants about the company. The project only existed because of Naka in the first place, he convinced Square to give him one shot at making a platformer. They gave him an opportunity but pulled the rug out before he was done for reasons not explained.
The top producer of Square Enix flagship Dragon Quest franchise is stepping down from the role, following delays in developing the next installment of the popular series.
Please o please don't turn dragon quest into final fantasy square enix we dont wont that. Dragon quest works well just as it I. Plus you'll piss off Japanese fans to.
Hopefully they don’t. From this it doesn’t sound like that is the case and development is just taking too long.
I expect nothing less from it
Did that guy just diss Mass Effect 2? GTFO
This is a great example of over-hyping a game. The not only is saying that this is a better Action RPG than ME2, but goes on to say: "The fact that this game can be most compelling action game of 2011 as well as the most in-depth RPG game this year competing with both Gears of War 3 AND Skyrim alike is something that is truly extraordinary." Now that is some funny shyt right there. I plan to buy this game, but hopefully it is over by the time both of those games are released.
Deus Ex is a good series, but those 3 games are just on another level when it come to total production value. ME is a top notched produced piece of work, the quality of everything they do is just really, really high. Gear owns the 3rd person shooter/Action genre, Uncharted is not really like gears and in known more for cinematic and art style. The Elderscrolls is what other try to imitate when attempting to make and open world RPG. It was simplified somewhat with Oblivion, but it looks like Skyrim will allow for deep RPG game play once again.
Looks Awesome!!! I was going to get both Deus Ex and The Witcher 2 but since we have to wait in tell 2012 now for The Witcher I guess Deus Ex will half to do for now tho.
Pffff consolites deus ex is gonna be great on all platforms!!!!! And yes mass effect is a really good game but like he said it's a fisher price type of action rpg that is better for the casual gamer because it's them who makes them the most money not the hardcore gamer !!!!
