Heres the link the article I teased yesterday! If you don't realize how big of news this is, this is the first AAA FPS game to consider Move support. This is massive for Move!
@Waltz... Oh, Wizardy is suppose to be amazing, and I will be investing in it. Bless XSEED, they brought us Retro Game Challenge.
Crysis 2 PS3 demo ran on old code, and was in fact inferior in demo form, but was pulled to fix. The retail release will be the exact same as the 360 version.

Yeah, it's a nice score for XSEED - should prove popular with the people that regularly buy their games. And Wizardry really is amazing - even though it was hard work for me to play (so much Japanese...), I got through it - most gorgeous character art I've ever seen in a game.
At risk of starting another long argument about the Warriors series, the western media are a bunch of idiots.
Warriors: Legends of Troy is really good. There's nothing broken about it, the action is good, and it looks and sounds good. In fact, the battles themselves are a cut above other warriors games, as they're far more tactical and far less button mashy, even on the lowest difficulty levels. This is a game of blocking and counterattacking.
So why the bad reviews? Oh yeah, the media refuse to recognise that there is a massive fanbase for this stuff. And yet the likes of God of War gets good reviews.
Astounding. In conclusion none of the other press has played Troy before reviewing it. I'm going to pull an all nighter I think, to make sure my initial few hours impression holds, and then I'm giving it 4.5/5
I know this but what about average Joe who isn't aware of the game?
Trust me on this one - the average Joe isn't going to care about the game regardless. Wizardry is just for the hardcore fans, and they'll be quite happy to import from the US
You never know though, which is why I hate that we can't have the option to not play the games without Importing. Why restrict your game to one region where it might sell in another? We rarely get this with movies (music not so much).
It's not like I am too bothered whether this game gets imported or not, but the fact is that you have to import it to play whereas if they just released it WW in limited bundles I'm sure they may exceed expectations.
Starlight, a game like Wizardry would be a massive risk to release in the Western market. The Americans are lucky, they have a publisher who is willing to take such risks, XSEED... But will they still be around in 5 years? I don't know. Risk can sink businesses, and the typical business doesn't want to risk being sunk to appeal to the one or two remaining Wizardry fans in the west.
No Pal distributor will take that risk, because the market is smaller, there are more languages to support (or shrink the market even further), and the market is generally more difficult to do business in. People underestimate how easy it is to do business in America, relatively speaking.
But look on the bright side, Australian distributors are even MORE risk adverse. We're lucky if Tecmo Koei games get a proper local release, for Gods sakes.

I understand that there is risk, but that is how capitalism works. This is why Call of Duty has spawned sequels, but you need risk to grow as a business, Nintendo, SEGA, Capcom, what have you all started the business when console gaming was in a mess in America, did they release games there? Yes, they did. I understand what you are saying, but I am sure if the Dev/Pub only created small qualities to see how it sells, I am sure they'll be surprised. Don't underestimate the Hardcore as they are a suprisingly diverse audience. Although I'm not excited by the game itself, it'd be nice if they created a PAL format (even if Red Star Rising did it as a limited edition).
Yeah, Destructoid's pretty fair to the Warriors games - and I can respect their point of view around Troy, even if I don't personally agree with it.
After playing the game into the early hours of the morning my review will stick. Still giving it 4.5/5 - it's the best Warriors game this side of Samurai Warriors 3.

@WaltzElf: Moreover, Jim Sterling. I couldn't help but notice every one of those reviews from Destructoid was by him. He's probably the only one on the staff who actually likes the series. But hey, that's one more than none! And at least they have the decency to let him do the reviews and score them fairly.

I wonder if I'll meet Jim at a Warriors cosplay conference.
