The role-playing game magnate took some time with GameSpot at GDC to share his thoughts on his company's latest games and life as an Xbox 360 developer.
Plenty of unforgettable games have completely messed up their players throughout the years, all the way back from the PS1 days to the dark recesses of the modern internet.
Huzaifah from eXputer: "Sleeping Dogs from the early 2010s is one of the best open-world games out there but in dire need of a resurgence."
You say "yet" as if it's even possible anymore. United Front Games is gone, along with anyone that made this game what it is
That’s what happens when games sell poorly. And I’ve seen people wonder why people cry when a game sells badly… this is your answer.
Majority of the time it's true but if a company/publisher is big (in terms of money), they can take a hit or 2. e.g. I am not worried about Rebirth sales as Square will make Remake 3 anyway but if FF 17 doesn't sell then Square might need to look for alternative. <-- my humble opinion
Oh okay, Activision owned True Crime, but when that didn’t sell as intended it was canceled. Six months later Square Enix bought the rights and changed the title to Sleeping Dogs.*
*As per Wikipedia
Sleeping Dogs was a sleeper hit back then. It was fantastic. It actually still is. Would love a sequel to this, or at least a revive of True Crime series.
Lord of the Rings: Battle for Middle-earth II was an intriguing and unique RTS title, that sadly suffered in its console port.
Was just thinking about this game and wishing I had a way to revisit it. The way EA scrubs these titles from existence once their licensing runs out is horrid.
Indeed. The game can still be played online on PC.
Xbox 360 players, though? Bang outta luck.
"HS: [in English] Ah, Kutaragi-san's architecture...seven DSPs and a low-powered CPU. I don't like the PS3's architecture."
wow, didn't know sakaguchi liked to give flame-bait....
anywho, i'm really excited for a blue dragon demo, that would be awesome. And he hit it on the nose, microsoft doesn't get japanese marketing... but maybe games will eventually speak louder than do, do, do
"I like simulation games. And I wasn't a great fan of first-person shooters...didn't think they were that good. But after playing Gears of War, I loved it and felt really good about playing it. So I'm actually interested in creating something like Gears of War."
that's just wierd... but i guess gears is a world wide phenomena
It felt like he was giving his honest opinion. I don't reall hear that too much from western developers.
get their Japanese Marketing team up to snuff and the 360 will be a success in the land of the rising sun. If only it were that easy.
at least a 8-10 AAA titles that appeal to that markets taste, then MS will continue to sell poorly. I wouldn't by a system not matter how much it's advertised if it didn't have any games I was interested in. The Japanese don't have enough titles to warrent any interest in the 360. Who can blame them if they don't jump in.
Microsoft is trying to impress the only way Microsoft will ever
impress the Japanese gamers if they had Final Fantasy XIII which by the way will never happen lol and plus 360 is just more of a FPS when
PS3 is both FPS and RPG.
