Bandai Namco is a big publisher that has looked at its past titles and brought some of them over many times. To mention a few recent cases, we had the
By the looks of it, PlayStation 5 exclusivity does not hurt the sales of Stellar Blade in Japan as the game has passed 90,000 sold physical copies.
Stellar Blade really deserves way more praise than it got, devs have been adding more and more content, for free, since release and the game already was great to begin with!
Stellar blade is performing very impressively there, DD2 didn't do well because word of mouth destroyed it's reputation and not about the Microtransactions or performance, bad word of mouth about how the game lacks so many things that were in the first one
Exclusives matter. No matter what bumbling phil and bond try to say, exclusives is why you buy a console.
They dropped the ball with dogma. SB is a solid game, it just had to weather the social storm.
"AI is not a substitute for human creativity. We position it as a technology that supports creativity. Creativity resides in people. We will continue to contribute to people's creativity through technology," the CEO said.
...not yet but 100% within the next 10 years!
..Then Sony will use it like the drop of a hat. They're no different to the others.
People that aren't software developers just don't understand the benefits of AI. People who's only exposure to A.I is the Terminator movie and other related sci fi films won't understand the benefits it provides.
It's not about replacing human labor. It's about making human labor easier.
Many years ago, I had laser eye surgery done. It was performed by a robot. The doctor took my measurements and calibrated the machine to make sure it would do what needed be done. And then the robot corrected my vision in 10 seconds.
15 years later and I still have 20/20 vision.
Druckmann claims the tech could 'push the boundaries of storytelling in games.'
I’m more interested in what else he said.
“Neil Druckmann says new Naughty Dog title could ‘redefine mainstream perceptions of gaming’
He also said it has "ethical issues we need to address" but of course that doesn't get the clicks.
I’m all for it. Cuts the time to make a game. Look, Hellblade 2 took 5 years to make, if AI can do that in half the time, as a consumer, I support it.
Oh yeah, Fragile Dreams: Farewell Ruins to the Moon. That is still one of the best atmospheres I have ever encountered in a game. The way everything slots itself perfectly when we talk about the scenario, the stories and the characters creating this extremely melancholic atmosphere that builds on itself the more you explore is terrific. And given that a remaster for newer platforms would also help - not fix, but help - with its largest drawback was the terrible "motion-based" combat. I would definitely dig it.
And Xenosaga is probably on the top list of any jRPG fan. So there is very little to say about them.
Tales of graces, abyss, xillia 1+2 really need remasters. It's crazy namco hasn't done them yet. They can also do the old snes, ps1, and psp games as well and localize the ones that never made it to the west.
I'm really glad we got the baten kaitos games. You think about it, geez namco has some great games and ips left alone lol.
I would love to see the Ar Tonelico trilogy along with Ar Nosurge and Ciel Nosurge. I would also love to see the Xenosaga trilogy remastered two of my favorite franchies next to Tales.
