So much for being a balanced analyst.

Wow. xD Don't get me wrong, at face-value the Vitality sensor can be seen as a pointless add-on. But when one really thinks about it...the vitality sensor could easily add a layer of gameplay that has rarely, if ever, been seen before. Especially to the Survival Horror genre, but also action games, zombie-based FPS games, Trauma Center games, and detective-based games.

Either way, this is Pachter talking about something involving Nintendo. Anybody shocked?

Noctis Aftermath5142d ago

The vitality sensor is nintendo getting a big head, for games it has extremely limited uses, maybe it's meant for the next Wii Fit type game?

Seekerofthewind5141d ago

Nintendo releasing 80 billion controller shells would be them getting a big head. Oh wait, Nintendo only (to my knowledge) released one, as a free pack-in with a specific game.

Either way, the Vitality Sensor actually seems like it could have some really good uses. One of the more commonly used examples would be games that are based on classic (read: substance over random shocks) horror.

This will be good!

More Mr. Pachter's responses later this week.. those gaming blogs :)

Anyways Pachter is the catalyst for CoffeewithChess to get more traffic.

CoffeewithChess5141d ago

Except the difference in this case is Mr. Pachter responded directly to an article that was posted on the blog.

It's not simply taking a quote from Pachter from another article/video, the quote is original from Pachter to the blog.

hazelamy5141d ago

Mr. Pachter said, "We can agree to disagree about the Wii Vitality Sensor. It looks tremendously stupid to me, but I'm sure I'm not the target market.

i agree with pachter 100%
i wonder who will be the target market for that thing anyway,
hypochondriacs?

So patcher plays games who knew I wonder what he is playing now. No wonder he is such a fanboy. Also patch has grey hair he may need the sensor more than gamers. Old people always fight the old folks home. He better brush up on the wii bowling before he goes and gets crushed by some ones grand ma. Lol

Rolling the Dice: Do Modern RPGs Miss the Point of Team-Based Play?

It seems it was long time ago. A bunch of friends spending hours on end playing RPG games, sitting around the table with the box of cold pizza. Excited about the story, listening to the Game Master, they were completely engaged in the worlds only visible to them and their imaginations.

The GM is the programmer, and in MMOs and co-ops, you can play with others. If you want to ONLY use your imagination for the visuals, read a book.

1) Hope they put it on disc this time.
2) Hope this is a positive for Neptune coming over as well.

Demons Souls5072d ago

If so, that's being developed & published by Idea Factory. Compile Heart has nothing to do with it (Thank God for that).

Godmars2905072d ago (Edited 5072d ago )

Thought Compile Heart was one of the companies lending characters.

Was also speaking in general as in regards to a US of Neptune. If these guys are offing a second game, NIS or Atlus, both of whom offer quirkier titles, will put that one out.

@kagon01:
My issue isn't - wholly - with the DL-only option, but the price. The first game should be $30. Maybe $40, and by that I mean $39.99. The only reason its $45 is the 360 disc version which has extras. Nevermind that by all rights its a PS2 game. Something that proabbly could have been done if the devs had the GOW2 engine or tools.

ClownBelt5072d ago

I approve of this god damn message.

Could have gotten my 60 bucks if they just put it on a disc.

Another exclusive damnn the ps3 keeps on rollin wit games awesome ;)

Jack-Pyro5072d ago

Is this a half decent SRPG, porn aside, cause if it is, i might just decide to go and buy it for the 360.

Anon73495072d ago

There's no porn just some sexual innuendos but that's it.

Also it is a great game by itself, maybe not graphically but everything else is top tier.

RedDevils5072d ago

so it had some kind of "top tier" porn story jk

ThanatosDMC5072d ago

Yup, it's a decent game. I just hate that a move has to go first before any attack options.
