Thanks for pointing out EXACTLY why developers don't let us see much of their games before release. The slickness of the graphics is totally irrelevant at this point, you don't think they won't fix that? This must be what, the alpha stage if that? It's not going to be very polished, but they decided to release a few videos anyway, even though people like you would look at it and say "that game can't run correctly" instead of realizing that's a given with an unfinished product.SineSwiper wrote:All this is showcasing is how the game can't handle its own graphics.
Looks like the engine can handle it better than Fable 2 and it ain't even fully optimized yet.SineSwiper wrote:All this is showcasing is how the game can't handle its own graphics.
Well, that and how the battles looks to be somewhat complex. I hope there aren't more than 100 of these battles, though.
Can't be as complex as FFT, and that game was fun as hell!Zeus wrote:I have to see how it plays but this could be pushing the whole "it's too complicated to really be fun" envelope.
I don't think this one is turn based, is it? And they were getting attacked from every angle there. I think it's more complex than FFTSineSwiper wrote:Can't be as complex as FFT, and that game was fun as hell!Zeus wrote:I have to see how it plays but this could be pushing the whole "it's too complicated to really be fun" envelope.
Yes, it was. Hence the "Turn 1" and "Turn 2" on the screen.Zeus wrote:I don't think this one is turn based, is it? And they were getting attacked from every angle there. I think it's more complex than FFT
Yes, it was. Hence the "Turn 1" and "Turn 2" on the screen. Also, the menu choices weren't much, so it can't be that complex. Were you even paying attention?Zeus wrote:I don't think this one is turn based, is it? And they were getting attacked from every angle there. I think it's more complex than FFT
Err, it's coming out next week.Thanks for pointing out EXACTLY why developers don't let us see much of their games before release.

I have played several really good games from Square just this year: Revenant Wings, Final Fantasy 4, Rings of Fate, and Dragon Quest 4. There's also The World Ends With You, I have yet to play it, but it looks very good.SineSwiper wrote:Not lately. Besides FF12, I can't really name a good game from Square over the past 5 years or so.
Other than remakes, The World Ends With You is their big new one. Check it out, it's great. But, like all non-big name Squeenix stuff, it sold very modestly. That's why you see so many remakes or quasi-sequels from them now. No one is buying any of the new stuff anymoreSineSwiper wrote:Not lately.

DS, DS remake, DS, boring fucking JRPG, and DS. Is the DS their only avenue?Legend of The Seeker wrote:I have played several really good games from Square just this year: Revenant Wings, Final Fantasy 4, Rings of Fate, and Dragon Quest 4.

Good DS games are still good games. They did announce a while ago that the DS was going to be their main focus. I forget the reason though, but I assume it's because of the huge userbase.SineSwiper wrote:DS, DS remake, DS, boring fucking JRPG, and DS.

Only one I played was The World Ends with You, and I stopped playing it when I realized that they were serious about somehow controlling two characters at the same time. Imagine playing Secret of Mana with two controllers.
Format don't make a good game. I have every format you've ever heard of aside from the PS3 and some of my favourite games are released on "inferior" formats. Technically, handhelds are "inferior" formats but both of those handhelds have had some of the best games of the last 3 years.Don wrote:Format doesn't matter only if your format is inferior.
In sales of Square Enix games? Way off, Square Enix has multiple games that have sold between 1 and 3 million, but have only sold approximately 0.5 million games total on Xbox 360.Black Lotus wrote:Xbox 360>DS. Discuss.
Are we3 seriously going to discuss this? Awesome!Legend of The Seeker wrote:In sales of Square Enix games? Way off, Square Enix has multiple games that have sold between 1 and 3 million, but have only sold approximately 0.5 million games total on Xbox 360.Black Lotus wrote:Xbox 360>DS. Discuss.
My turn: DS actually wins that one. DS has two numbered Final Fantasy games already out with a third one on the way. Backwards compatability access to 5 other numbered Final Fantasy titles. It will also soon have 4 different numbered Dragon Quest titles.bovine wrote:Are we3 seriously going to discuss this? Awesome!Legend of The Seeker wrote:In sales of Square Enix games?

360 wins in terms of support from square-enix because it got 2 (count 'em, 2) numbered final fantasy games (11 &13). Sure the DS gets one lousy dragon quest, but it's taking too long to come out so I don't care about it.
In terms of what? You have to define what we're talking about here. It's too general of a statement. If you're talking about graphics, sure. But if you're talking about volume of good and innovative games, not really.Black Lotus wrote:Xbox 360>DS. Discuss.

That means a lot coming from a guy who takes this shit way too seriously-- can we debate the iphone vs the PSP again??? Cause that was almost as hilarious as it was retarded.

I am not sure what you are aiming to accomplish with posts like these, other than further proving that there's something seriously wrong with you.Tessian wrote:That means a lot coming from a guy who takes this shit way too seriously-- can we debate the iphone vs the PSP again???

butter wins because when you add more of it to the outside of a grilled cheese sandwich, it gets better. The same cannot be said when adding additional blackberry.Tessian wrote:A Blackberry vs a stick of butter!

there's a demo for it on the pc, and it's coming out on steam soon (as a full game, the demo's already there). Is it time to upgrade the ol' pc?Blotus wrote:I was kind of excited for this game but after hearing nothing but how poorly it ran (technically) I pretty much forgot about it. If the 360 install would fix everything, I'd give it a shot.
