Ni no Kuni 2...where are you?

-Foxtrot2851d ago

Yeah I'm wondering that aswell

Hopefully in the mean time they've redesigned the main character...

http://gematsu.com/wp-conte...

King?....or Queen?

Awful design.

nX2851d ago

Even if N4G seems to hate you, I agree he or she looks terrible for a main character.

-Foxtrot2851d ago

N4G does not "hate" me. It's like the same group of people who auto disagree and send silly PMs from time to time

I can't group everyone together

rainslacker2851d ago

I hate you. :)

Seriously though, it's not even the gender ambiguity that bothers me, it's that it's just such a bland design. Something more akin to what you'd see from an NPC or maybe a secondary character who doesn't have much to do with the plot. Heck, even the NPC's we've seen in the trailer have more interesting design in some cases.

LAWSON722850d ago (Edited 2850d ago )

It dont bother me to much he looks feminine because he is a little boy pampered in some big castle. The trailer showed him being a 'wimp'.

I personally would love to see his design change throughout the game to show his growth in character. IMO this would be a killer part of the game. This may not be the case if so I do agree that design is quite meh for a lead.

Bud, it's been a year since I heard that name. I don't know what's going on.

OtakuDJK1NG-Rory2851d ago

Don't think people in Japan really care about that much. They didn't for the first game when it was on DS and PS3.

NotEvenMyFinalForm2851d ago

Ni No Kuni 2 was announced last year, so I'd expect the game's still at least 1-2 years away from release based on the 4 years circle of development that most game seem to have these days.

LAWSON722850d ago (Edited 2850d ago )

Ni No Kuni 2 I believe had a release window in 2016 (dev estimate), so hopefully if all goes well it should be at least out before summer 17 though I

Good that people can finally play Horizon and give hands on impression.
Yea I expected TLG to be playable.

Rude-ro2851d ago

Was it not playable at E3? I remember a lot of hands on videos.

Sevir2851d ago

They had Pre E3 press hands on impressions... but it was never on the E3 show floor

The 10th Rider2851d ago

It was. A few places said it was rough around the edges, though the core game was fine. A polished demo would do them some good.

OB1Biker2851d ago (Edited 2851d ago )

I think it was behind closed doors but Ive just seen everyone can play the demo at pax so thats cool

Goldby2851d ago

Is it just me, or are some of the companies incorrect for the games being shown. Since when is Infinite Warfare a Sony interactive entertainment IP or Overwatch being made by Square Enix.

Roronoa04112851d ago

those games are published by Sony and Square Enix in Japan.

DragonDDark2851d ago

Thanks for the answer. I was confused as well

Sevir2851d ago

Yeah, Square and Sony Publish those games in Japan since Activision doesn't have a publishing arm in Japan.

Fullmetalevolust2851d ago

Great line up for the games that are indeed expected, can't wait for the surprises!

I call BS on this. All metrics were met apparently or was that another lie. There's something deeper happening within xbox's management

GamerRN5h ago

You have an inside scoop? Well don't hold back, share with us your knowledge!

AsimLionheart2h ago

He is referring to this tweet by Greenberg which Spencer retweeted.

https://twitter.com/aarongr...

Wood is arguing that MS was either lying then when they claimed the game was a success or they are lying now by giving excuses for shutting down the studio.

The Wood1h ago

What part irks you sir? My opinion that xbox has a management problem or stating xbox heads said metrics were met and the game was a success. They closed the studio that released one of xbox's most successful new ips in a very long time. There's a lie somewhere don't you think or are you the eyes wide shut type

Cacabunga12h ago

It’s xbox DNA to lie and U-turns

GamerRN5h ago

I love fanboy analytics too...

Thank God Sony has never lied to us! /s

Cacabunga5h ago

There is a difference between lying all the time and saying fake shit and anyone else

DarXyde10h ago

I don't know that he's lying. The heads at Xbox tend to be forthcoming in painfully indirect ways.

The article notes the exit of Shinji Mikami which I also believe was a factor, but Arkane is a different situation.

Perhaps the issue with everyone's assessment is that, because they closed around the same time, everyone assumes the reasons are the same.

Occam's razor here: Tango lost its value to Microsoft with Mikami out and Arkane just dropped the ball spectacularly.

All being said, Booty is clearly lying about one thing: the notion that anything mentioned in this interview was done "out of respect for the staff" is a bold faced lie. They closed the studio while the staff were on vacation in Japan.

Miss me with that, Booty.

Cacabunga8h ago

You said "I don't know that he's lying."

And later you said:

"All being said, Booty is clearly lying "

Are you ok?

DarXyde6h ago(Edited 6h ago)

Spare me the pedantry.

I'm very clearly talking about two different things:

When it comes to telling you about the future or actions taken broadly, they're indirect, but technically not lies. The go-to example is Rise of the Tomb Raider "coming exclusively to Xbox One in 2014." That wasn't a lie, but if you don't read between the lines, you'll think that's a lie. More recently, they tout new Xbox "hardware" which is incredibly ambiguous. It's sketchy, and intentionally vague, but calling it a lie is a bit too heavy handed. In reality, they say things in a way to get you to draw incorrect conclusions and they can blame you for misinterpreting.

I'm saying I don't know how much of what Booty is saying is truthful, intentionally vague, etc.

But on the very specific issue I cite (i.e., wanting to be respectful of staff), he's being dishonest—and it is very clearly a footnote to the broader point being made.

I shouldn't have to explain that in such explicit detail, but clear enough?

SonyStyled3h ago

‘Best lineup in Xbox history’ advertised during holiday season -cancels Scalebound and Fable after holiday season.

Not a lie. They had a good lineup. They just flipped the scripped after holiday season sales. What they advertised isn’t what the customer receives. Bait and switch

LoveSpuds5h ago(Edited 5h ago)

I recall seeing interviews where Shinji Mikami said he had no involvement in the development of HiFi Rush, it was a European guy who directed the game I believe.

So even if its true that Shinji leaving was a loss, closing the studio still doesn't pass the sniff test to me. They shut a great studio who had just put out Xbox' best game in years which had no input from Mikami.

MS can't help but lie, they always have, scummy company.

MrDead12h ago

The gaming media better get on board with these sort of articles as MS buying up the industry means you guys won't get review copies or exclusive news unless you push the MS narrative.

The MS narrative "it's everyone else's fault."

1Victor12h ago

WARNING ⚠️ SARCASM AHEAD WARNING ⚠️ sure they have an awful management with sexual harassment and embezzlement of funds so let’s close the studio we just purchased and leave games in the table. END OF SARCASM
( insert here a comic strip of guy thrown out of window for suggesting firing the management )

Eonjay35m ago

Right. If management is an issue hire new management.
