Square Enix makes some of the best JRPG's in the gaming sphere. But the company itself seems to be at odds with itself in its direction for the future.
Love survival horror? Love physical editions of games? Limited Run Games have got your back as they reveal a physical collection for Clock Tower: Rewind on Xbox, Switch, PlayStation and PC.
The Outerhaven interviews Francisco González of Grundislav Games about his passion for Point and Click games.
The Xbox brand has done a lot of good over the years, but their various blunders are pretty wild to look back on in their magnitude.
Ironically number 9 can save them at this point (releasing games on multiple platforms)
You could add the naming scheme for the consoles, it just confuses customers. I know they wanted to avoid traditional numbering bc it would always be lower than their competitor, but this whole 360 then One then Series thing is confusing af. Imagine a Soccer Mom trying to figure this stuff out. I still mistakenly call the Series X the One from time to time on accident.
Don't forget about the Xbox One, Xbox One X and Xbox Series X! Good luck to Soccer moms around the world.
Phil Spencer is the worst that has happened to Xbox.
They built a respectable brand up to Xbox one. Then this guy took over and things became a joke
Really good video.
I remember the days with RRoD was big news on here, N4G.
Microsoft had it turbulence number of years.
Looking at the success of Sea of Thieves despite being 6 years old, time to release Halo, Forza horizon 4 & 5 on PS5. It'll help their revenue
2 of the 4 games they did already sold really well. So it's definitely going down. Idk about halo or forza but I feel those studios they've bought in the last 5 years, their coming
They’re a former shell of their innovative and risk-taking selves. After Sakaguchi left, the culture started a decline and then [current] stagnation. People like the Xenogears creators and Yasumi Matsuno brought flair and novelty. Now, they either rehash their old masterpieces or just put out bland crap. Talent is more important.
Too much focus on their own game engine, which apparently doesn't work, and projects like FF13. The first version of 14.
Their older stuff I would drool over back when these days I like a couple of their games. I hated what they did to ff7remake as far as the actionness of it. Dq11 was dope and has by far and large taken over as my favorite square rpg. Used to be ff for years. I really liked star ocean 6, but it's been an action rpg from the beginning.
Far as ff16 I'm personally not looking forward to it myself. Just doesn't grab me the way the older do and did. Way to westernized imo. Then add in the dmc people. Nah. In the end I'll play it to atleast try it but it'll be 25 30 dollar mark. Maybe I'll change my mind but idk on this one.
I have liked I am setsuna, lost sphear, dq11, star ocean 6, and I'm sure a couple others. I'm just more looking forward to dq12 then I am ff16 by a Longshot.
Selling exclusivity to the highest bidder
Next stop for Square? Pachinko machines.
