I'm pretty sure Nomura would rather undergo severe self-mutilation than be the one to announce Versus for the 360. Now, if Hashimoto had replaced Nomura's name with Wada's, then this would be a different story. Nomura's presence is either for Versus (PS3), Kingdom Hearts, or one of Square Enix's unannounced title.
The Japanese market isn't getting weaker, traditional JRPGs are merely moving to a new home. Handheld devices have grown as the medium for these types of games and it works well. The Xbox 360 does not have much of a market in Japan, so why is it that Bioware wishes to comment on it? Their games are very western. I do not think they even make an attempt at appealing to the eastern demographic. West should stay west while east should stay east. Square Enix has attempted to westernize their ...
A PS3 Tales you say? YES!!!
When say disrespect, I'm referring to the people like Wada who are trying to control Nomura-san's project. After working for years on Versus with a vision in mind, the corporate suits get money hungry and attempt to force the project to go multiplatform. Nomura-san has no intention of developing for the 360 so why force him and his team? I understand that one can argue he is not the boss and does not have the final say, but I find that wrong. It's like dictating an artist on how t...
I'd rather Nomura-san leave Square Enix. He does not deserve to be treated with such disrespect. Square Enix views Nomura-san as the chicken that lays the golden eggs. Square Enix takes the golden eggs and does what it wants without concern for Nomura-san.
So much win! Gimme it now!
So much win that I'm crying!
YES! I'd love a new Tales game for the PS3!
That would be so awesome if Kevin Butler took the stage! Boom!!!
You can never have enough Tales! Gimme!
Oh my God yes! I thought I was the only one!
Yes I want Tales of Symphonia. My Gamecube died on me and I haven't had the chance to finish my second playthrough. I also want Tales of Graces. These two games alone are why I'm getting a Wii.
You see!? This is why we can't have nice things!
I must have this game!
A new JRPG for the PS3 you say? Well I'll definitely be keeping this one on my radar.
I already have all of those! Just need to pick up 3D Dot Game Heroes and my list will be complete! I want to stab my foes of blockiness with a Herring!
Act accordingly? Since when was it OK to laugh as your comrade in arms drives over a corpse? You cannot justify such a disgraceful act.
Edit: Instead of the phantom disagrees, why not prove me wrong? Go on, grow a pair.
On the contrary, your entire outlook makes no sense. Midgard227 only said that he/she hates people. Hate doesn't translate to a desire to see someone dead. Let's say that I hate you. That doesn't mean I want you to die from being stoned by baby seals now does it? And likewise, Midgard227 doesn't want everyone from the human race to suddenly succumb to a fatal aneurysm simultaneously.
Video games - People anxious to throw pixels at character models comprised of pixels.
Real Life - People anxious to shoot metal slugs into live human flesh?
I don't see the comparison. Most gamers do not see character models as actual human beings who need to die because they may or may not be a threat.
Wasn't there an article here on the site the other day where Take-Two reaffirmed Agent's exclusivity to the PS3?
