epicJRPG.com takes a look at the current sales challenges facing Sony's Playstation Vita, and examines the potentially positive opportunity that exists for Sony with respect to JRPGs.
As publishers move towards mobile and handheld as their preferred devices for publishing JRPGs, Sony may be able to capitalize on this shift in order to first increase the core gamer base on the Vita console, and later increase the overall number of mass market consumers purchasing the device.
SEGA has announced Fearless: Year of Shadow, a campaign that celebrates Sonic the Hedgehog and his brooding acquaintance, Shadow.
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
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.
I think, most JRPG developers KNOW that the PSP is the King of JRPG that is why they support the platform for so very long (9 years and no sign of waning nor ending).
And that crown will eventually be passed on the PS Vita as the PS Vita is built as a PSP2
BUT
Nintendo knew that and has made the 3DS a direct answer to the successor hence nabbing PSP numero uno franchise MonHun. So it will be interesting direct competition on Ninty's part to gain market share. Sony not so much. They can't be arsed to make Pokemon or Kirby-ish games as their push is for the core and mature tech savvy gamers.
I don't see the 3DS lasting as long as the PSP nor PS Vita hardware wise because the successor to 3DS is just around the corner as stated by me. http://www.maxconsole.com/m...
Sony should make Legend Of Dragoon 2 Vita.
*slow clap* I agree completely!
What about the PS3? it needs a new mission statement in regards to the genre.
Pixel/sprite games for that matter.
And by jrpg you mean a Souls game or Dragons Dogma game then absolutely.
