Uh... did you comment on the wrong post?

BlahBlahWhatever2248d ago (Edited 2248d ago )

Actually the article I wanted to comment is nowhere to be found, it seems they delete it..

"April 1 isn't just the territory of pranks and jokes, but also the beginning of a brand new fiscal year, and Square Enix made the previously-announced restructuring of its business divisions effective."

uh huh.

FallenAngel19842248d ago

Good I’m tired of them putting most of the workload on one guy. A huge project like this could use multiple directors

Dabigsiebowski2248d ago

Nomura has yet to ship a game I've been impressed with.

pietro12122248d ago

I feel the same way. KH1 is the only exception, but there was nothing overly impressive about it.

Pretentious2247d ago (Edited 2247d ago )

Square hasn't been the same since Sakaguchi and Nobuo Oematsu left and took half the team with them. Then Squeenix puts the character designer in charge lmao.

FalconofLucis982247d ago

KH1 and KH2 were very good.

rainslacker2248d ago

Squares problem is that they move directors around so much, or restart, or delay projects so much due to these changes. Its highly inefficient, and I think they would do well to maybe manage these big projects better.

Antnee5342248d ago (Edited 2248d ago )

This game is never coming out lol and i bet the next gen game they are working on is a cross gen version of final fantasy 7 remake

Harkins17212248d ago

7R news is coming this year. Have patience. They've said this multiple times.

Juusterey2247d ago

We've been waiting almost 4 years for news, its not about patience at this point

Antnee5342247d ago (Edited 2247d ago )

I understand that i just really think this is going through dev hell like every squarenix game ever as of late

Harkins17212247d ago

@Juusterey. And they explained FFXV and KH3 were the ones in line. After KH3 it's 7Rs turn.

Pretentious2247d ago

KH3 was convoluted garbage. Not looking forward to FF7R anymore.

Harkins17212247d ago

@Pretentious. Disagree. It wasn't great like I wanted it to be. I was let down overall. But Disney also had a say in that game with what could be done with their franchises. SE and FF7 don't have this problem.

Harkins17212247d ago

FFXV is the only game to go through a Dev hell

Kashima2248d ago

The new project seems related to the survey about new mmorpg last year

Antnee5342247d ago

Please to god i hope they are not waisting talent on mmo -_-

PapaBop2248d ago (Edited 2248d ago )

Naoki Yoshida working on a a next gen game has me hyped. FF14 is criminally underrated by FF fans and has the best story and character development seen in FF for over a decade. He's earned a new project even if it will mean FF14 suffers as a result. Hopefully he's working on FF16.

thatguyhayat2248d ago

FF14 i loved so much i went ahead and got the platinum trophy for it. I still play it with expansions too. He even commented saying that final fantasy needs to return to its roots and honestly i think this man can do it. Fingers crossed it is ff16

Agreed! FFXIV is the greatest project Square has put out since their Square Soft days.

Antnee5342245d ago

Its all for not when i pay the initial 60 i should not have to keep paying a dev to play their game unless i feel the need to play the dlc then i will fork out an additional 40 for the season pass. Now the mmo aspect is a deal breaker its just a boring grindfest worse than most rpgs. Ff14 is not underrated its just boring bland experience. Nothing of worth happens inside this game, now you might like it thats fine i never will and have tried multiple times to get into it. Slow, repetitive, no engaging characters, or plot.

Capcom reveals its PC game sales overshadow console, and it's only growing

The earnings reports of Capcom's Fiscal year 2024 showcase the growth of PC over console, with 60% of game sales being made on the former.

Vits13h ago

What’s interesting is that, given how well their games sell, it’s very likely most of them fall into the 25/75 revenue split bracket. The larger ones, like Monster Hunter, are in the 20/80 bracket.

So even accounting for the vastly superior regional pricing on PC, I wouldn’t be surprised if revenue-wise from digital sales, both platforms are close, or if PC is ahead as well.

neutralgamer19927m ago(Edited 5m ago)

Yes PC is the biggest platform and it has definitely improved as a home console of sort plug and play. It's the only platform with actual freedom for gamers with modding. I was a console gamer for over 38 years and now I only play on Pc. Whether you are buying pre-built or building it yourself it's now easier than ever before to jump in

And my experience with pc gamers has been excellent, they are helpful with any questions on pc boards

Well we already know where the review scores are going to be for this one. Who knows how his game is going to be but the narrative has been set and everybody is running with it so expect some pretty low reviews.

This is definitely not a day one for me and I'll wait for it to go on sale one day. Which probably won't be too long LOL.

isarai3h ago

This game releases in 13 days and we still don't really have a clear idea on what it is exactly. Everytime a game releases without some extended gameplay to show us what the actual loop looks like it turns out they were hiding a turd. I hope im wrong, we could use more urban open world games to at least give us something other than GTA alone, but the marketing for this game is weird

Trailer released on YouTube PlayStation channel showing gameplay

Culture in work environment should be good and fair to everyone.

But Hope this game is good and sells well so companies can invest in more single player titles, can do without anymore live service trash.

The "New Wild Hunt Release" that they are referring to are the controllers, and wanting to see more stuff like special edition controllers for The Witcher 4.

darthv721d 12h ago

I just received the xb controller and while it's nice looking, the packaging was a total fail. An unbranded plain brown box. Not even a themed box like Doom got, or at least a regular looking box. Just a plain brown box.

Oh, and a 10th anniversary sticker in the box too.

FullmetalRoyale1d 10h ago

That sucks about the packaging, I'm glad you like the controller at least. The last controller that I bought I would put back in the box at the end of the gaming session.

Thanks for saving me a click! Doing the Lord’s work.

Didn't want to go that hard, but kinda felt a little baity to me.

Everything this site does is a bait to absorb ad revenue... we need to reform our submission process. We need a quality litmus test.

Eonjay22h ago

Can we please ban this site?
