I've been reading threads throughout the week and it seems like most people are so focused on how "big" a game is in terms of sales potential, the amount of hype when announced, or the marketing budget. What about the quality of the actual game?

There's a bunch of already announced games with positive impressions or is looking promising. It's strange to see some of those games being overlooked because they aren't rolling with a Halo/Uncharted/Zelda/COD/etc marketing campaign (a lot of those announced games are new IPs as well).

Hell, I've even seen some people randomly bringing up the sales impact of Persona 5 to attempt to dismiss the game when it gets mentioned as an upcoming game.

About E3: I'm looking forward to seeing Scalebound, Level-5's PS4 game (curious to know if this is another Sony/L5 project), and hopefully Gravity Rush 2 (or GR1 PS4 at the very least). Bend or Guerilla Games's new IP would be nice to see.

To resume the explanation i would give...

A moon diamon hidden in a moon cave, is only valuable when found.

Once found, it's only valuable for the ones who knows it's value.

Big franchises are gold, and you know how much they worth, but, have you seen a moon diamond? Me neither :/

Hope you still feel good about winning that FF7 bet when there really is a remake but it's gonna be a follow up to the mobile remakes of the previous FF games. /hashimoto.gif

Yeah, mentioning a game that is confirmed as a no show at E3 doesnt give your predictions a lot of credit

No beef though, I kinda agree with most of it


EDIT: Reading that again I dont know if you are kidding at some parts or not. Im way to hyped to get sarcasm

They were previously, not anymore. So it seems it might have a chance for a release on other platforms down the line. However I'm still waiting for a concrete release date. Can't wait to see more on it. Capy hasn't let me down yet.

 

[TetraGenesis]

Yeah. Does not require proof of the individual claims as far as I know.

[Rajang]

 

[Servbot24]

1. How?

some contract issues with the VA prevents capcom from making it available. I'm sure it's nothing money couldn't solve, but I doubt the demand is there for them to bother

 

[Nightengale]

Below was announced before ID@Xbox, aka when MS was still jerks and demanded indie games have a publisher.

It's the main reason why I didn't believe in the "we had planned ID@Xbox a long time ago" shit. Why change publishing deals mid-way if the plans were there to begin with?

If TLG and a FF7 remake get confirmed at this years E3, I am eating my own dick.

nah, not really

But if only one of them gets announced, I would be happy.

SE redeeming itself... Not happening.

After they announced FFVII port for PS4, they teased some new other games, and that they would be awesome. Most were mobile or things neither Vita would want on it's library.


I wish they redeemed themselves. FFVII remake or FF Tactics(LION WAR not the Advanced ****) HD or remake.

Recreating all of FFVII would be extremely expensive, it would crush Square Enix to produce it. That or we get two different graphic styles, like the cutscenes in the original: good vs iffy. PC version is what we get...but if only it could be what everyone wants, that would be one of the biggest announcements in E3 history after all of the demand for it.

We need moar Hashimoto at E3. That's all.

I wonder if they still have easy access to all the original background renders. If they have they could just re-render them at a much higher resolution and call it a day. They didn't for the PC version though.
