GxC: "With fans of the hit Hitman franchise awaiting the latest installment in the series to come along, Hitman Absolution, Square-Enix has briefly revealed plans for another game in the series."
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.
What a word vomit, rambling, turd of an article that simply states the obvious. Classic exputer.
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.
With two different studios developing Hitman games, I wonder what kind of differences we can expect in the gameplay and story-telling.
Maybe the Montreal studio will be developing a Vita game... ?
The new one looks great. I wonder if it's a new spin on the series.
I love Dues Ex (it may be my GOTY) so my faith in Square-Enix as a publisher is restored.
I also bought Uncharted 3, Batman AC, Gears 3 and BF3 this fall...I find myself playing and enjoying Deus EX over the rest so, yeah, it's my GOTY thus far. But I do love a good SP experience so I'm biased against Gears and BF3.
I'll grab Skyrim when exams are completed and determine my personal GOTY winner.
