who wastes money on a dying console like x360

sephiroths_revenge5829d ago

wow that image is amazingly proffeisional

when i look at it kaz hirai it like am looking at a show

Ace Ventura5829d ago

Xbox 360 seems to be fading fast. Not even recognized in multiplatform games any longer.

alexM5829d ago

I mean it makes sense

x360's ww sales have hit near bottom and almost all x360s were traded in for PS3s in eruope

PS3 despite launching 16 months after x360 in eu went on to surpass x360's LTD WW base

after seeing KZ2's footage do u think ANY SANE PERSON (not talking about abnormal XBUTTS) would ever purchase an XFIX ME

sephiroths_revenge5829d ago

yeh but the japanese dont care about the xbox

AssassinXIII5829d ago

"Xbox 360 seems to be fading fast. Not even recognized in multiplatform games any longer."

OMG LOL LOL u make me laugh ROFL ... ur joking right ? cuz if ur not ... ur an asshole ... "Not even recognized in multiplatform" LOL ur so funny

sephiroths_revenge5829d ago (Edited 5829d ago )

i played the one on dremcast for 20 seconds using an emulator.

it reminds me of Final Fantasy XII

and i hate FFXII. The people that made it made vagrant story and that was good got high reviews. but only becuase people were suprised. They didnt epxect it to be good

SO the people that made Vagrant Story made FFXII but people epxected to much from FF12 and were dissapointed

So yeh i think this will be as dissapointing as ff12

zimbo0075829d ago

just because FLOP ODYSSEY and FLOP DRAGON sucked doesnt mean that you have to bash FF12

FF13 is the biggest game of this generation

CrazzyMan5829d ago (Edited 5829d ago )

I`m more then sure, by the end of this year PS3 will be very popular in Japan and all over the world. =)

Idmpc5829d ago

I absolutely loved Skies of Arcadia, and the Final Fantasy series, including Final Fantasy XII...

Skies of Arcadia was one of the few games I had for my dreamcast, and definitely one of the best.

Please, PLEASE. Make Skies 2 for PS3 or 360, not Wii. Release a remake of original or something for Wii.

ChickeyCantor5829d ago

" a remake of original or something for Wii."

so that you can bash the wii by saying : WII ONLY HAS PORTS/LAST GEN GAMES????????????????????????? ???

it seems its wii bound, dont make a fuss out of this >_<

BeNice5829d ago (Edited 5829d ago )

hey MK i thought you were impartial, well you were for a while anyway. But on topic the cube already had skies of arcadia legends which is more or less what you want the wii to get. And since the original only came to the cube it would be logical to have it for the wii. Its not always graphics. i thought someone who has been playing games as long as you have would at least know that. You have turned into a bit of graphics whore/ ps3 fanboy (i expect to get diagress and be flamed for this), here's hoping you return to a real gamers state of mind.

heyheyhey5829d ago

@people above

leave MK alone, i can't believe the N4G community has resorted to attacking one of the nicest and coolest guys on the website

so what if he wants a game on the PS3/360 instead of the Wii? you can't expect him to not say anything bad about any console just cause he's not a fanboy

christ, i keep bashing and bashing and flaming and these people choose to attack MK for being a fanboy instead of me

BeNice5829d ago

i have nothing against Mk , I am generally only pissed off againt individuals like bootselion, crimson wolf, shaka and jackA_sses like them. You used to be a fanboy but you seem more mature about gaming now or you are just going through a good pahse. My point being that Mk has changed i ma not flamin , I have not disagreed with him either.I quite simply stated my opinion. Even thoug i do not feel it is necessary, I apologize to Mk if i came across as unfriendly.

MK_Red5829d ago (Edited 5829d ago )

Thanks heyheyhey :)

But seriously, I know graphics are not everything but the whole point of Wii is to have either casual games or to have games that are meant for Wii-Mote's use.
Skies... 2 for Wii will become something like Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn. It was a great game but was an instant GC game. Didn't use Wii-mote and had PS2 graphics.

No More Heroes, Zack & Wiki and such take great use of Wii-mote and are meant for Wii.

I'm not a graphics fanatic or something. I was, I would have never showed so much love for Rayman Rabbids, Z&W, NMH and MP3.
The thing is that Skies 2 on Wii will be like those cheap ports that I hate.

Wii should either get the remake or better, some kind of Wii-based spin off. To me, there is no place for Skies on Wii. I never bashed or attecked Wii here.
Plus, the only thing that I bash and hate in other posts is Wii Fit, Wii Sports and the crappy side of Wii games not the great ones like SMG, Z&W and such.

BeNice, I know what you mean but I haven't changed. I always supported Wii games that were meant for Wii. Skies on Wii will end up like Fire Emblem. A Wii game that doesn't use Wii-mote which is the whole point of Wii.
I never attacked Wii. I just attack games that don't use Wii-mote or are crappy ports or cheap cash-ins.

ChickeyCantor5829d ago

" To me, there is no place for Skies on Wii."

Look you dont make sense at all, Wii is a gaming machine and what do you know about what they have planned for the new SOA on the Wii.?

You are already Judging these games because of crappy or poorly developed Wii games and thats just shallow.
Who says this game will be developed awesome on the 360 or PS3?
Because these console can handle more it doesnt mean the titles will be a instant hit.

also in another topic this is what i said to you:
" >_< you make little sense you know that.
You pretend a Port for the Wii is bad but it would be okai to remake it for the other 2 i mean really whats the difference then? A remake would only be a Graphicle update...i really dont see how this is any different from a port?
gameplay remains the same "

MK i know you arent trying to take sides or anything but you make LITTLE sense.

BeNice5829d ago

Okay I understand what you mean but here's my take fire emblem was developed for the cube I believe initially , maybe I'm wrong. But do you think the game woule have not worked tih the wii controls for pint and click movement. Rpg's will work with the wii , you can avoid making games with motion controls on the wii. The motion sensor or ir can only be used for say attacks or something. It could also be compatible tih the gamecube controller. At that point I expect that you will ask what's the point of having it on the wii in the first place. The game skies of arcadia legends was a port more or less of the dreamcast, so they didn't really even use the gamecube, with that in mind even utilizing or pushing the new game to gamecube standards would make the game impressive . no doubt its amazing to see a game inhd with great character models and particle effects. However i am of the opinion that's great in an fps where you ahve fun with blowing stuff up but in an rpg however i take the stance that the gameplay should be interesting and it should look pretty artiastically making the environments somethign you want to look at like Metroid.

MK_Red5829d ago (Edited 5829d ago )

Sidar
I know, judging before anything is out is wrong but I can't help but look at Fire Emblem Wii. The reason I don't think SOA belongs to Wii is because I think it may be end up like FE.
I agree that Wii is a game system but it should get the games that are meant for it. Still, it may be different.

Also, I never said a PS3 / 360 game will be awesome but at least where (IMO) the game has a better chance.

Remake and port are COMPLETELY different. Come on, a port is like a PS2 game or a watered down PS3 / 360 game but a Remake can be a whole lot more than graphical update. In a remake gameplay can also change or get upgraded as well.
Just look at the uber awesome Okami remake on Wii even though that's not a full remake but still is much better than a port.

---

BeNice
I agree on your point on FE's initial system. I see what you mean about SOA: L on GC. Still IMO, a Wii game has to use Wii-mote. Plus, Wii-mote can be used as a mouse cursor on Wii games like Z&E and Metroid. Unleass the new SOA on Wii can take full advantage of Wii-mote, I'm against it.

heyheyhey5829d ago

"you matured about gaming or your going through a good pahse"

yes well after many years of my people suffering through bad pahse's it seems our god pahsemillian has granted us a good pahse this year

i jest, i jest- but seriously, im still a fanboy- i just tend to not show it in the gamer zone

i'l rip you to shreds in the open zone.... with rationality and objectiveness of course

i've always been a good fanboy wouldn't you say? momma would be proud *hums God save the queen*

ChickeyCantor5829d ago

MK
Reimagined remake

"A remake with revisions in the plot, gameplay, and overworld is called a reimagined remake"
~ wiki

enhanced remake
" The basic features of an enhanced remake are graphical and audio enhancements (or "facelifts"). "
~wiki

So when you say Remake you arent clear with what you exactly are saying. Is accepted that "Remake" just means Graphicle update and sound improvements( and maybe some little tweaks here and there).

Also i bet you think RE:5 should be on the other 2 consoles( and it is)? but what if the controlls of the Wii can make it more FUN?
Do you still think RE:5 should be on the other two and not Wii?( it was obvious that RE:5 looks allot like RE:4 gameplay wise)

crck5829d ago

to be in frickin' HD? Nintendo being as cheap as they are decided to pocket the profits instead of providing HD output. If he is a fan like I am why is that so wrong? BTW I wonder how many of the few gamers who defend the Wii so relentlessly ONLY own a Wii? That in itself speaks volumes about the Wii's limited abilities. There are a ton of gamers that only have a PS3 or a 360 because they don't need a 2nd system.

Charlie26885829d ago

Here MK I brought you your Riot Control Equipment...knowing certain users you are going to need it

if you need back up or an air strike radio me XD

i dont think you even understand it yourself, if Mk wanted the GFX he would say it.

Next to it, would the nintendo haters buy a nintendo IF they did indeed made their Wii HD?
Answer : no.

It would have been bashed for the so called " kiddy image " and mario games and so many Zelda games( but Gta 8 is A o kai !!!).

There is nothing wrong being a fan, but saying it shouldnt be on the Wii is nonsense. Wii is gaming console, so it might not have the HD Resolutions but this doesnt mean the game will SUCK.

Im really amazed that you have so many bubbles, because you just barged in and said something without even thinking before you said it.
you deserve NON.

edit: Nintendo wasnt being cheap, they lost to much money with the N64 and GCN. They couldnt take a nother big risk plus this system reached a wider audience.Nintendo going the same road as they did before would have killed them and you know it.

edit:
@ Benice
Exactly, thats exactly whats going on. And thats the thing that annoys me with these people. If we look back at last generation People didnt care and now suddenly its all important. The shallowness is just making my head hurt >_<
Also bub up

BeNice5829d ago

dude something being made into Hd does not make it a better game, i play my wii on a 46 inch lcd hdtv which outputs 1080p. The games look far from bad but it could be because my tv upscales whatever it outputs. It should be on the wii because I think the system has a greater appeal since hardcore gamers largely ignored this gem when it came out on hardcore system last time. A game in hd does not make the game better. it offers it to fewer people too. To answer you second claim nintendo made two graphically superior and harcore systems and wait did gamers care? no they went for the playstation 2 which was a casual gamers system because of all the casual games believe it or not. I owned a ps2 i remember how much crap and nonsensical casual crap it had. Nintendo is doing the same thing allowing casuals and you guys already proved you don't care about intendo , if nintendo came out with an hd system with motion controls it would have cost more and then it would be a war just like last time , all the systems would be alittle more powerful then one another. Nintendo would be ignored again becuase it wouldn't have the install base it has now. Nintendo is not being cheap it is being smart. Also , shouldn't every game on the ps2 be on the xbox cos it would have looked better but no it didn't because ps2 had the install base. The wii is still young and people still aren't mature enough to accept it or relatively new to gaming and try to call themselves real gamers. The wii will get solid hardcore gamin library if these kind of exclusives keep coming and then you will have to accept that it is a hrdcore gaming system. IMO off-topic SMG totally PWNS ratchet and clank and this from an ex-ps2 owner remember.

To heyhyhey, its debatable whether you would be objective but yeah u definitely fall into the more mature fanboys but unfortunately most posters here aren't like you they just want to trash the weakest console simply cos it doesn't ouput in hd. I like it that there variety in the consoles and that for once there is a reason to own them all to get a different experience from each one of them. I know i'm off topic but there .

MK_Red5829d ago

Sidar, well I consider the revised / face lift more of a port. Okami on Wii is close to what I meant even though it is partially a revised remake.
Plus, reimagine and revised are really used a lot. Revised is more towards the port and reimagined is more like remake.

As for RE5, it depends:

If a single team makes a single version for all consoles (Wii version having motion controls for aiming like RE4 and PS3/360 ones having better graphics) then I'm against it because that would benefit neither console.
That same version for PS3, 360 and Wii means that it can't use advance gameplay technics like modern AI and physics systems and since it has to be played with analoges as well, it can't take full advantage of Wii's motion sensetive powers.

But if there are different versions, like Lucas Arts' Star Wars: The Force Unleashed, then I definitly support the game for all platforms. In case of that game, one team is making the PS3 and 360 versions which use Euphoria and DMM as core of gameplay with more focus on physical gameplay and force related stuff while a different team (Krome I think) is making the Wii version which is focused more on lightsaber using duels that takes great advantage of the Wii-mote as well has having a full fighting mode with many characters that can participate in sword fights that use Wii-mote.

Also, some times the core of a game prevents it from going to other systems. Look at Rayman Raving Rabbids. This game ROCKED on Wii but when it was ported to PS2 and 360, nobody bought and nobody liked it. The reason is that that game was MEANT for Wii. My Wii fave, Zack & Wiki is another example. Not only it was awesome but it brought life to the classic point and click adventure on a console by making superb use of Wii-mote.

Same goes for another Lucas Arts game, Fracture. A game that is coming only for PS3 and 360 because they whole point of this game is the advanced physics system working with terrain. Battlefield Bad Company is also the same. In that game, fully destructable enviroments that need processing power of PS3 and 360 are the whole point of the game.

So in case of RE5, it's not the time to decide because we know almost nothing about it.

Charlie2688, thanks for your help. I'll use the riot shield :)

Now where were we?! :)
Uh, Skies of Arcadia.
Lets hope whatever system SOA2 ends up, it takes full advantage of said console's strengths.

ChickeyCantor5829d ago

" The reason is that that game was MEANT for Wii"
Wii actually supports all kind of controller setups.
However i understand that you would be saying: " if they are going to do a traditional Controller scheme then its best on PS3 and 360"
But you are the one also saying GFX arent everything.

I know that Physics based games could benefit more on a PS3 or 360, but from what i understand SOA can also be done on the DS or a PSP for that matter....its been there on the GCN and i see no reason why it would fail if it comes to the Wii.
Im not saying it shouldnt be on the PS3/360, the more the marrier but its also marketing; the game sold well on the GCN....so why not on the Wii? it seems the audience is there.

MK_Red5829d ago

The thing is that I believe a game should come to a system only if it's meant to be.

If there is a PSP and DC version of a game, it must be light and good for on the go. Back then on GCN, there wasn't much difference between consoles.
We can always agree to disagree :)

OMG!! IM so FREAKIN excited for...... what is it again?

games4fun5829d ago

a dreamcast game that was later ported to gamecube it is one of my favorite RPG games i would put it in my top ten for the ammount of free roaming and first person view ability they added in there not to mention the battle system rivaled FFVII in terms of fun factor using that system

it was also a JRPG about being pirates (good pirates) and had an island where you could customize your own base/town also the main characters actually didn't have crazy spiked hairdos and were rather normal

AND as a later note YES!!! i hope this is a PS3 game as this was the only game for the wii i wanted i would love to have the sequel to one of my favorite RPG's from the dreamast THIS IS THE BEST NEWS I'VE HEARD ALL DAY forget killzone/gears this is an RPG i'd love to play the sequel to

i wonder how they will continue the story arc i'm thinking they'll go back further in time and get the Dracan guys storyline going that would be awesome :)

Ar Tonelico Qoga: Knell Of Ar Ciel Retro Review – Love Conquers All

Gary Green said: You’ll be forgiven if you haven’t heard of the Ar Tonelico trilogy. The previous two games arrived so late in the PS2’s life-cycle that they simply went unnoticed. While most were tinkering with their shiny new PS3s, Ar Tonelico: Melody of Elemia and Ar Tonelico II: Melody of Metafalica were being ‘returned to sender’ by your local Game stores. Luckily, you won’t need to have played them to understand and appreciate this third and final chapter, Qoga (pronounced k-yoga) tells the story of a racial war between humans and Reyvateils, a breed of biologically produced female cyborgs capable of reproduction, while still having a digital mind.

Oh my god. I kinda wish this would get a remaster on PS5, it would be awesome. One of my favorite games on PS3.

That and 3D Dot Game Heroes. It's a shame that some stuff is stuck on PS3.

Knightofelemia4h ago

Ar Tonelico 3 is good I still prefer the first AT game. The music is solid in all the games and Akiko Shikata is a very talented singer bringing life to the game. Only annoying part is well I find is Saki I always choose Finnel or Tyria. KOEI so needs to HD remaster the franchise along with Ar Nosurge and Ciel Nosurge since it never came to North America. I would day one the Ar Toneliceo games and Ar Nosurge if they were remastered.

TheColbertinator3h ago

I still have the limited edition of Qoga unopened. Unfortunately it never went up in value like I had hoped all these years.

Mugen Souls Retro Review – Sexy Demon Space Adventure

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.
