Guys, don't ask how I got this

I wonder when we'll start seeing posters/signage around the convention centre, always good to see all the images posted in the thread.
 
After type 0 i think it makes no sense. Even in XB1's strongest region they only managed to get a 21% share. I doubt KH a franchise that has been predominantly on Playstation will see a better share for XB1.

You're looking at it as sales for XB0 version in a vacuum though. The localization work has already been done and really those costs have been recouped already. The question is how much would it really cost to make a XBO port while doing a PS4 port and since from what i've heard its much easier to do ports between the systems compared to PS3/360 I would imagine not much. Square would (or should) be looking at it as more of a promotion thing to get people ready for KH3 and increase those sales for XBO, especially for those on that system who may not have had a chance to play those games or missed some of them. It all just makes sense with KH3 coming to XBO. Now does KH3 coming to XBO make sense overall to me? I really don't know, i'm leaning no. But if Square is doing it then yes it makes sense from a business perspective to do a quick easy port of a KH collection to the system.

Plus MS might grease some hands just give XBO something else to promote in Japan.

Would a KH HD collection sell at least 50K units on XB1? That's the equation at minimum.

Have you heard anything about a PS4 KH HD collection? Nod once for yes, twice for no.

I wouldn't be surprised of Sony did what they did with Destiny in Japan and paid to make it a full exclusive, given the platform split would be heavily in favor of them anyhow. I wonder if the cost of doing something like that would be affordable.
 
If SE wants to sell some KH Collection they should include a KH3 demo involving the Star Wars level. Boom. Insane million seller with Star Wars fever this holiday
 
Sorry if this is off topic, but will there be TV coverage for all of the press conferences? I'm going to be out of town for E3 and there's no way I'll be able to stream the conferences. The only one I could find was the MS conference on Spike.
 
Who here got the Guitar Hero MMO pictures referenced above? Hope they were at least different from the ones from February:

Yes, they are. They are available to all in the relevant backer tier and will be available to all on the website soon.

I really don't get the problem. We do all of this work for free. There are literally thousands of games archived on Unseen64, but because we release some stuff early to our Patrons, GAF decides that this is some kind of moral panic.

If you want in to the feed, it's a $1. If not, you can wait until we post it to everyone. We're a small independent site and thousands of others do the very same thing. Get over it.

maybe. I have lots of friends who were super happy that Kingdom Hearts 3 was coming to Xbox One so they didn't have to buy a PS4 for it. I'm pretty a few of them would love for the collection to come to Xbox One.

I think MS is the only one that's announced that they are having their conference televised. Sony's is too late in the evening and the rest are being streamed.
 
RE: kingdom hearts collection on Xbox One.


Would KH3 be in a state where they could even ship a demo with the KH collection by the end of the year?

If Yes. It will release it on Xbox.

If No. PS4 only.

Frozen too pls.

KH3 is pretty much a pseudo-exclusive for Sony anyways (even more so than FF imo). I think a KH HD collection would be a similar type-0 situation, only more skewed.

She hinted at it in a different thread a little while ago.

ehh, I don't think so. I think that KH is much more popular and much more noticeable than a non numbered FF game. Im not saying its going to do crazy numbers, but at least disney characters and movies are recognizable to the US audience
 
KH is appealing enough to people that it would probably sell well enough to justify putting it on Xbone.

The HD collection is a different story, but it would be a dick move to make KH3 the first release on a Xbox system lol
 
Yep, very excited.

VR has to be experienced. I don't think everyone will necessarily like it, but I think it's pretty special. Right now, the problem is that we need to get people experiencing it. When it gets closer to launch, we'll send it everywhere we can, so as many people as possible can start trying it out. That's kind of key in terms of building excitement, and gaining traction in terms of people recommending it to others. The idea isn't necessarily that it's going to explode out of the gate, it's going to be a longer process. And developers have to learn what works, and take it from there. But the more people that try it, the more people that experience it, that will help in allowing word to spread.

In terms of games, I think there's a lot of great things that could be done with it. Not every genre is going to be a great fit, but there are genres that could be very fun. Thrill ride experiences, adventure games, open world settings which employ some kind of survival/crafting aspect, flying around, puzzle games, and other things of that nature. Things I've seen surrounding it are pretty exciting. Right now, the focus is on a lot of smaller titles, and digital titles, and mostly it's Japan Studio and London who are focusing on it, but there are lots of others working on content for it too. There's going to be some new stuff shown off at E3. There's a lot of things that can be done, and it's up to a lot of talented developers, indies, and other companies, to kind of see what works.

Not to mention, it doesn't have to be a single player experience. We have demos being made where you'll be able to have someone with the headset playing with someone else using a controller. That's because while you're immersed in what you see in front of you, the others can still see and play with you on the TV. That's an interesting element that could be quite great. Beyond games, VR can be used for other aspects too.

There's a lot of potential, and it'll likely take a few years for things to fall into place, but I'm personally very excited. It's different, and not a replacement for traditional gaming, but it's pretty cool.


Or card games. Imagine two fat guys at a table playing a virtual game of Magic. The irony would be spectacular - especially if their VR produced numerous naked chicks highly interested in their match.
 
Not feeling too good about my prediction that Metal Gear Rising 2 will be announced as a PS4 exclusive.

I feel like there would be some rumblings/leaks about that one if it were happening.

Sony typically posts their entire conference on YouTube afterwards.
 
Catching up on the last few pages, why are people so convinced that the Suicide Squad game is the Warner PS4 exclusive game? It's on a multiplatform-designed engine, following teases in two/
sounds like three
multiplatform games - just sounds like an odd one to suddenly be exclusive. Especially because it would assumably be Warner's big release in a non-Batman year.

I've always thought that if an exclusive does exist, and it's something we could conceivably guess, it's gotta be Harry Potter-related. Warner have most of the rights through the film universe, and Sony has a lot of the rest through the Pottermore deal, so an exclusive there would seem to make more sense.

Verendus hinted at a WB PS4 exclusive game. So people are speculating that this is it.
 
People all excited for a big Warner Bros. exclusive until they realise it's a Scooby Doo game, or Harry Potter for Morpheus.

Shiiiiiiiiiit, I'm down for a Scooby Doo game! There was one on the N64 that was awesome! Instead of platforming and collection coins or Scooby Snacks or whatever, you actually had to find clues and trap the bad guys.

That shit was the hypest.
