I've been saying this for so long! Bring it back already!
Hahaha steadily indeed. Better be good.
Doesn't mean an awful lot. I'll play it myself.
Okay you make a good point about driving and sports games. I'll concede that I hadn't considered that. I suppose i'm kind of fixated on violent games becoming too realistic which almost seems inevitable.
I suppose then for simulation games, realism in all departments is important, but I just wish that war games and whatnot wouldn't continue to jump on the bandwagon. It's troubling. Not that I'm one of those maniacs that thinks games cause violence, but...
I know this. Games needn't look real to look amazing. But think about it: There IS a drive in graphic technology to look as convincing and realistic as possible, but why? Why is this necessary?
Game graphics should remain stylized to some extent, there should be no goal to achieve realism. There's no point to it.
I'm not sure why you disagree with me here, you're making a correllative point that I would agree with.
My point i...
Respect. Why do we want realism so bad when we live in it already?
I don't want a supre realistic violent game for instance, it'd just be disturbing.
Games will stop becoming escapism if they become too realistic. Particularly in the visual department.
Absolutely wonderful! Best read I've had on N4G possibly ever!
Damn it I wanted to provide that information!
You're completely missing the point. I'm not even going to bother.
Don't be stupid. He makes fair points. He's not "reading into it too much", he's examining how cultural attitudes make their way into media and art, often unbeknownst to the actual creators because they live in that very society. It's basic sociology / critical theory.
Also, to extend upon the Nix and Kuo problem, it's interesting to note that Nix is portrayed as the violent, "sexually suggestive" one. It feeds into the age old stereoty...
Hmmm, except that X-2 and XII are superb games. Whatever about XIII, I like it but it's far from perfect.
Also those remarks are perhaps unfair when taken out from their original context. I'd like to see the articles / interviews they came from.
Also, I think Yoichi Wada has a lot to do it, he's like the Kotick of SE (albeit less pure evil), and I reckon he probably interferes with the creative process a bit too much, but I'd say that Kitase, ...
I'm going to play it again no matter what it looks like. It's been way too long.
The problem for me is that Mistwalker don't develop for the PS3. I'm not buying a 360 just for Lost Odyssey and Blue Dragon, and I'm not buying a wii just for the Last Story.
I do have a DS though so I'll be playing ASH whenever a decent translation surfaces.
Still though, it annoys me that they only make exclusives.
Seems like he's acting really holier than thou. I mean what did he think would happen? We're only human!
Seems like a no brainer...
It was a bug fest on the DS, I hope this version's improved. I had to restart the game like 3 times on the DS coz my file kept corrupting and glitching and shit.
Edit: In fact, this is definitely the exact same game again. COuld they not throw in some extra stuff? A new age? Or at least eventually bring all the other Myst games to the 3ds?
Agito got the same treatment... But changing the name doesn't matter. All people need to do is to watch the gameplay trailer for it. It becomes immediately apparent that the game is going to be awesome.
Having thirteen in the title might turn people off, it makes sense that it would at this point, but I think changing the name would only have a small effect. They've just gotta market it better, spam that gameplay trailer everywhere.
Oh my good god dat ass.
If they were to remake VII, there are several things that'd make it a very difficult project.
They have to rebuild the entire game from scratch, it's not as simple as just giving it a HD makeover. It'd be a project as big as Versus XIII likely.
They have to make a game that lives up to the original, which is probably the hardest task. VII is probably their defining game, the best game they ever made, and remaking it is a very delicate process, the...
Jesus christ enough of these articles already. I think SE know by now how badly fans want this (myself not included btw) so I really don't think it needs any more publicity.
At this point we've said enough, they might decide to make it or they might not. Leave it be.
