NowGamer: Avalanche Studios has revealed more about its plans for its next open world game via a new job listing for a vehicle designer.
Final Fantasy VII Rebirth publisher Square Enix has declared a $140m loss based on a shakeup of its internal development pipeline.
What are they doing over there? Sounds like they canceled something big. I read a rumor a while back about ff9 remake . Here "Final Fantasy IX has gone through a very challenging development, the game is still in progress but may undergo changes drastic enough that we won't hear about it for a couple of years."
This could be one of the reasons if the rumor is true. That was Silknight i don't know how credible he is but it's something and it would make sense.
The industry implosion is continuing. Sky high budgets, prolonged development windows, stagnant sales numbers, and falling currency values (inflation) are wreaking havoc on the legacy industry. AAA games will slowly become the rarity.
Saad from eXputer: "After suffering from massive financial hits, Square Enix & Bandai Namco appear to be turning over a new leaf but I'm still unconvinced."
I was talking about games with some Japanese guys here in Japan, and it seems like around here Bandai Namco has a fame of making low-quality games, with the occasional gem.
About Square Enix, I believe they lack the capacity to improve. They should learn with Capcom (although even Capcom still makes some bad mistakes), but I don't think they ever will. They keep chasing whatever is new at the time (blockchain, AI...) to say "we innovate", without considering the public perception and if these things actually improve the games or not. Them releasing too many small games with no advertising also shows a lack of trust in its own products. Even with their biggest games, like turning FF into an action game with XVI and the very divisive plot changes regarding whispers and timelines in VII Remake, shows them trying to attract a new generation of gamers without understanding what made the series so big in the first place.
I don’t know why NOW they decide on this, but I guess later is better than never.
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."
What a word vomit, rambling, turd of an article that simply states the obvious. Classic exputer.
"Just Cause 3 could be headed to current and next-gen platforms too" PC, PS3, 360 and the Wii U (Wii U being the "next gen" system) in other words
Something tells my comment is going to seen as some sort of hate, im telling you it isnt, JC3 will be out in 2013 at some point, there isnt going to be a PS4/720 in 2013, meaning the new Wii is the next gen system there talking about
It sucks because I want JC3 to be a PS4 launch title, how cool would that be, JC2 was fun on the PS3 but it looked whack (i hate 2d objects that move around as you do), I want it to look as good as it does on the PC, I really thought JC2 was the last for this gen
Hopefully im wrong aye
Think the next Xbox will launch by November 2013... could be dual-launch like original Just Cause
Can't wait for another JC, the second (with mods) is the most fun I've had in a sandbox game. Been a long time since I last played it, but as soon as the multiplayer mod is opened up, I'll be putting a lot more time back into it.
The controls spoilt JC2 for me, hope JC3 improves them!
Man best news this day, CAN'T WAIT!
