I played the original when it released and it was average, at best. The only thing it had going for it was the art direction and the music. Here's hoping they can salvage that and reconstruct a game worth playing.
Doesn't Nintendo publish more games than the top 5 put together? I mean, it's not a fair comparison. Sega publishes like 4 games a year and Sony puts out one game every 16 months. LMAO.
@BloodNinja That's not how that works. Each game is a "Final Fantasy", that's why there is a different cast in each one. It's each cast's "Final" fantasy.
How ironic that this article was posted today. I just started the game yesterday and so far I am smitten by it. The detailed sprite work is impressive, the game is fun and the controls are great! I am gonna go play some more now and I hope Nintendo releases a remake soon!
That was really well done. I know Nintendo would NEVER give these people the right to actually use AC in this capacity, so I hope they can work around that.
Nope. I was one of those people that LOVED the art style and how unique it was for the time. It's lasted the test of time and the game still looks amazing to this day. Had the game gone the way "fans" wanted it to, it would be just as ugly and hard on the eyes as most realistic games from that era.
Do people not understand that a 7" screen running console games at 1080p would probably yield the worst battery life of any portable console in history? Why do people ignore basic logistics by being common graphics whores?
I don;t expect much from GF. They have shown themselves to be a one trick pony developer that barely does that one trick competently. I understand what they were trying to achieve with this "chibi" art style(it isn't really chibi, though), but it just comes off as being the cheapest way they found to do these games. They wanted to remake the games as cheaply as possible and it shows. Not a fan.
Gf has had decades to perfect their 3D games and they still make some of the ugliest games around. I love the art direction and design, but man, why do tehir games always looks so rough? It looks like a first generation PS2 game.
I just don't understand what is happening at NCL these days. It's like they have so little respect for the fans these days. I swear, every time Nintendo is successful they get like this. Arrogant and dismissive. Struggling Nintendo is best Nintendo.
People are so ***** sensitive. It's history. Yes, it's unfortunate that it's a symbol of a dark period in Asian history, but it is also a graphical element that depicts a specific period in time. Editing history and censoring things that people find offensive is wrong. What's next? Swastikas are going to be edited out of Wolfenstein?
No game should ever be announced unless it is certain that it will be released 6 months to a year from that date. I don't want to wait 4 years for a game only to be disappointed. Make sure your game is close to being completed before you announce it. Simple as. Why does the gaming industry not understand this?
And before anyone replies with "BuT CoViD", Nintendo develops games years ahead of time, and every game that was meant to release in 2020 was 6 months to a year close to completition. They used Covid as an excuse to back up all their games releases for this year since people were still buying switches like hotcakes.
Succesful Nintendo is BAD Nintendo. This is why they don't feel the need to drop Directs anymore, why their games output has slowed to a trickle and why they refuse to listen to their fans concerning every facet of the Switch. Look back and history and realize this to be true; when Nintendo is printing money, it does the BARE MINIMUM and it sucks.
It's amazing to me that a game like Mortal Kombat and TLoU2 with their gratuitous and disgusting violence is okay, but a game with virtual tits in a bikini is problematic. How putrid and deranged must your mind be to not see the hypocrisy in this type of censorship?
I had no interest in this game, at all. Based on their glorious response to the liberal mob and leftist lunacy, I will be buying it, day one. This is the stance all developers should take. Never give in to those lunatics.
Imagine being Nintendo and still having to pay companies like Capcom money just to consider keeping games exclusive to the Switch. I just don't get it. No game is really worth it, TBH. MH is not worth 6 million exclusivity, especially since it will Capcom that benefits most from it.
This will launch with Switch 2 or whatever Nintendo decides to do for their next console. No way that this is seeing 2021 or even 22 without a new console to launch it with.
Are you kidding me? This is not racist in any possible way. It's a f#cking joke, FFS! A bad joke that is wholly unfunny, but an Asian character making a bad joke about something asian! Cancel the whole movie! F-ing rdiculous.
@Dirty0814 Japan has very strict rules against foreign companies buying Japanese companies, making it almost impossible in many instances. I don't think Microsoft is getting Sega, ever.
