Team ICO game is more important actually.

By miles in fact.

So excited, it sounds like he's seen it, or knows the concept.

Will make there way to ps3. Think about it like this. Since the xbox was a year early some of teh games are supporting there platform FIRST to start generating revenue to make a more COMPLETE version for the PS3.

:D Thats fine with me. Too many games right now. Heck Disgaea 3 could eat up 6months of your life.

Or maybe MS published/ paid for all the jrpgs to be deved for the 360 so they will never come out for Sony. Who knows maybe MS is still purchasing and buying up all the rpgs in the shadows. Versus has a pretty good chance of being multi.

@1.3

Actually, Versus has a very low chance. It SPECIFICALLY says "PS3 exclusive world wide" instead of "For PS3." Nomura hates the 360, and disagrees strongly with the 13 team of what FF should be. Nomura wants to make the most out of Cell and use SIXAXIS. I could go on, but in the end, it's a pretty damn good chance that it won't go multi.

"So excited, it sounds like he's seen it, or knows the concept."

Do you know who Shuhei Yoshida is? He DEFINITELY has seen it ;)

He speaks it a whole hell of a lot better than other Japanese people. I had very little trouble understanding him, and usually I have to really strain to make out some things from people with accents.

Hmm most white guys cant, but i can. But to all fairness thats like asking some Chinese guy, can he tell difference between some Swedish guy vs Italian.

LeShin - 495 days 23 hours ago

Well to be fair, you can tell by just looking at his name. Chinese names and Japanese names are not exactly alike.

TOO PAWNED - 495 days 23 hours ago

Well i assumed he was talking about facial appearance. Name is something else, even if that case many dont know the difference or just dont care.
But yes i can tell difference, i was big on Anime for 3 years so if i hear japanese name i know.

FPS genre is for casual market? Buahahhahaha now iv heard it all....hillarious. If there is genre that is hardcore than that is FPS.

BTW-Killzone 2, Resistance 2, Motorstorm 2, heavy Rain, Infamous, GT5, White Knight Stories, Uncharted, etc, etc, etc all of these "casual" IP say hi to Silogon and other "casual" gamers.

N4G best place to read anything and everything.

I thought you were acting a little strange in your PMs but now you've flipped your lid.

FPS aren't casual? Halo isn't a casual franchise that sold 8 million alone for the xbox 360? ahhaah, please. FPS are casual, if not for their content and presentation, but for the sheer simplicity of them. Jump, run, shoot.

GT5, casual. Reached a market of 14 million worldwide. Not hardcore.

Uncharted, casual. Casual controls.

Motorstorm... that isn't casual to you? hahahahahahahahah, please. What next, you gonna try and tell me Super Mario bro's is hardcore?

You need to learn a few things about genre and defining. The IP's you listed are, for the most part, casual experiences.

White Knight story is an RPG, that equates and lends itself to the hardcore crowd. That is the only one on your list that isn't pick up and play gameplay.

Heavy Rain is going to be a casual affair, sorry. Timed button presses wants you to say hello to Dragon's Lair. < Not hardcore at all. So not hardcore, it was aged 5 and up.

I can go on but you clearly have no concept of hardcore and mainstream.

FPS are mainstream/casual. Sports games are mainstream/casual. They are for the pick up and play crowd and if you disagree with this statement then maybe you need more hands on time in reality and a little less time trying to be a detective and sending general creepy message to peoples PM boxing eluding to certain people being Games blow when they're clearly not.

TOO PAWNED - 496 days 11 hours ago

Hmm you are so Gamesblow, or at least "one" of Gamesblows that are over the internet.
Back on topic, you can scream and jump all days long, but all of those games that you mention are not made with "casual" in dev mind. I will never see my father play for ex. resistance 2, controls are to complicated, its not just jump or shoot. It is most of the time Jump+Shoot+Aim+move all at the same time, and not many "casual" gamers are able to do that, just letting you know it.

It seems you miss understood something. Sales does not equal casual or not. Halo being sold as it did, it was because of MS brilliant marketing, being first(back in xbox era) great FPS on console + awesome online. Sure probably a lot of people bought it because it was hot stuff atm but that doesn't mean it is game for casuals or that only casual gamers play it, not saying that a lot of casual gamers didnt try it, but that doesnt make it casual game. And you using GT5 THE MOST HARDCORE RACER games EVER, with having races that last 24H (yeah casuals do like to play 24H roll eyes) and other most hard core modes and challenges you will ever see in any racing game. If you said Motorstorm can be played by casuals, 5 minutes, and done, but putting GT games in same box, ultimate FAILURE BRO.

Casual is Wiisport, Buzz, Singstar, EyeToy, many DS games and what not, those are gamers for which you dont need experience or "expertise" to be able to play them. YOu can play most of those games with one hand, that is casual bro, that is casual.

Now i want to make it clear once again. I am not debating if casual gamers did purchase and played Halo, GT, uncharted, etc. I am arguing that casuals playing something that hardcore gamers also play, does not make it casual game. There is difference between casual game and game that was made for hardcore (that buy games every month) gamers in mind, FIRST.

I know it is waste of my time to even bother writing this, since knowing how ignorant you are, even if everyone on this site was to prove you wrong, you would still stick to your thoery, but what ever, i wont replay anymore. You are wrong and it is so obvious.

...You can't be serious with that statement.

Let me refer to a quote I've heard every single time.

"The 360 is the now, the PS3 is the future."

I trust that the PS3 is in good hands. We haven't seen even two years of the PS3 lifecycle. Things are only beginning for the PS3 and they will in fact get better.

Think about that.
