Hardcore Gamer: In recent years, Anime Expo seems to be becoming a place where the general public can get their hands on games featured at the same location just weeks ago at E3. Adding to that perception again this year is Bandai Namco, who've announced their line-up for Anime Expo 2014.
Saad from eXputer: "After suffering from massive financial hits, Square Enix & Bandai Namco appear to be turning over a new leaf but I'm still unconvinced."
I was talking about games with some Japanese guys here in Japan, and it seems like around here Bandai Namco has a fame of making low-quality games, with the occasional gem.
About Square Enix, I believe they lack the capacity to improve. They should learn with Capcom (although even Capcom still makes some bad mistakes), but I don't think they ever will. They keep chasing whatever is new at the time (blockchain, AI...) to say "we innovate", without considering the public perception and if these things actually improve the games or not. Them releasing too many small games with no advertising also shows a lack of trust in its own products. Even with their biggest games, like turning FF into an action game with XVI and the very divisive plot changes regarding whispers and timelines in VII Remake, shows them trying to attract a new generation of gamers without understanding what made the series so big in the first place.
I don’t know why NOW they decide on this, but I guess later is better than never.
A popular Tekken 8 mods website has received a notice of infringement from Bandai Namco, but they're fighting back for the players.
I torrented the game on PC, and now will post the link right on their twitter account ripping them a new asshole and then say now you can't do shit LOL. Leave modders alone. Sooner or later the way the industry is going I will not buy anything anymore, and just take what I want. I'm buying very little now, as it is. The future does not look good at all.
Why are publishers cracking down on mods all of a sudden? It’s like if you bought a coloring book and then drew over the art and made the art look like something popular. Are the coloring book companies going to pull this sh*t?
Why is industry going more and more full r*tard?
Absolute stupidity. The hell are they even thinking? Damn, this game was looking so good when it was about to launch. Now, it's just been downhill for everything since then.
Popular videos from Tekken 8 mod creators have begun getting struck by Bandai Namco, even getting some channels deleted entirely.
It really is becoming E3 for the Japanese-loving general public. And hey, here we get to admire some sweet tenderonis ;).
Still no sign of that "Pokken" game... next E3 then.
i wonder when will i see the Nino Kuni sequel. :(
two things I want to read:
Bandai Namco Announces Tekken 7
