CVG: Japan has seen a growing interest in handheld games consoles in the last four years, says Sony.
This, it says, has been evidenced in PSP's sales compared to PS3, and will hopefully mean good fortunes for Vita
Gary Green said: We have a juxtaposition of 2D and 3D visuals, flashy turn-based combat, quirky anime characters with cheeky dialogue with plenty of partial nudity; Yes, this is a Compile Heart JRPG. Whilst the engine is borrowed from Hyperdimension Neptunia mk2, Mugen Souls is more of a Disgaea spin-off. It’s not a strategy RPG as such, it merely sits within Disgaea’s ever-expanding universe (Multiverse? Netherverse? Your guess is as good as mine). You won’t find cameos though, since Mugen Souls is a franchise which aims to stand on its own two feet.
Huzaifa from eXputer: "2008 was home to the likes of Call of Duty: World at War, Dead Space, GTA 4, Far Cry 2, Left 4 Dead, and many other hits, which is outright remarkable."
Just about every year in the 7th generation was great and something we most likely won't experience again.
2009 for example had Assassin's Creed 2, Batman: Arkham Asylum, Dragon Age: Origins, Uncharted 2, Halo 3: ODST, Killzone 2, Borderlands, Bayonetta, and Demon's Souls to name a few.
While the mainstream media always sees things turning in favor of the hero, here are 6 games that own being a bad guy.
Pretty much all of these games listed are based around a morality system you don't have to be bad and you don't have to be good.
It seems to have left out some real amazing games like red dead redemption 1/2,ass effect and true crime la/ny
Armored Core VI?
Ok, I'm really missing something here. Just beat chapter 3 earlier this evening, unlocked A-rank Arena fights. I'm not seeing or sensing any branching paths or morality system and I've done every side mission and arena fight available to me up to that fight.
Is something big coming soon to branch the story?
No mention of Grand Theft Auto? Saints Row (original trilogy), Manhunt? Also The Suffering (depending on the ending you get).
Yeah, japan loves handheld. 3DS is king with PSP still going strong. PS vita is competing with Nintendo and its own predecessor.
Headline needs to have *with Monster Hunter* after the word "portables" in it.
"Japan sees surging interest in portables with Monster Hunter in recent years."
Japan eats up RPG's, specifically JRPG's, and the lack of them on consoles could be one of the many reasons as to why the handheld market is doing so well. (Monster Hunter, Final Fantasy Tactics/Dissidia, Kingdom Hearts, Persona, etc.) Isn't commuting and public transport the norm in Japan as well?
Maybe square should do the Final Fantasy 7 remake on the Playstation Vita. That will pick up some real sales.
