Now this could be a mistake, like the Rayman Legends listings. But for now, Deus Ex Human Revolution Director’s Cut on Wii U is $49.99, $20 higher than the PS3 and Xbox 360 versions.
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.
Square Enix will be releasing three new manga titles later this year, all of which are available for pre-order now.
Square Enix probably needs the money.
Seems pretty ridiculous, if it's correct. The only remotely plausible excuse is that the Wii U doesn't have the original Deus Ex HR, in which case its blatant highway robbery for Wii U owners. The Wii U version (as far as I know) doesn't have any additional content, since the tablet features are also being made for Vita and Smartglass.
If it's true, then "Wii U games not profitable" will be a self-fulfilling prophecy...
Seems appropriate after all the Wii U version has more content ;)
Gee, I wonder why the Wii U version isn't selling. How 'bout I blame it on the install base. It can't possibly be the price difference. That would be too logical.
