There's gonna be a DC comics based Infinite Crisis MOBA game.
I just watched that trailer last night. I really don't know what to think about it.There's gonna be a DC comics based Infinite Crisis MOBA game.
He's not resigning, he's being forced off the board of directors with no hope of return and taking a 60% pay cut. All the executives are taking pay cuts. Even Matsuda (the guy replacing him) is taking a 40% paycut. That's what happens when you spend 10 billion yen to turn your company into a mobile games developer without understanding how the mobile market works. Even more astounding is that fact that they've been making mobile games for years, yet still haven't gotten it.
Just imagine the money remastering Final Fantasy 7-9. That alone would make more than any of their latest FF titles. They also need to go back to simpler style of games, they're trying to appeal to the wrong crowds with their -watch this movie- instead of playing game style of RPGs.They could seriously make all that money back with a localization of Bravely Default and bringing Final Fantasy back to its roots. This push for overpriced mobile games was a horrible move and I'm glad all their poor decisions are biting them in the ass. I hope they learn something. Now if only Capcom could take a hint.
They should have been spent 100 million dollars instead. Then they'd have gotten bonuses for running their companies into the ground.That's what happens when you spend 10 billion yen to turn your company into a mobile games developer without understanding how the mobile market works.
Capcom has an amazing summer line-up for the Arcade/PSN with Ducktales and the Dungeons and Dragons games. That's on top of Darkstalkers: Resurrection (which is already out) and the Capcom Arcade Cabinet stuff already coming out. They are doing their damnedest to put out their greatest hits right now and I commend them for it.They could seriously make all that money back with a localization of Bravely Default and bringing Final Fantasy back to its roots.

I remember reading somewhere about a month or two ago that they learned their lesson with the lukewarm to bad reception of XIII, in that it was too much watch compared to play. Lightning Returns is apparently going to be mostly action over anything, mapping abilities to the gamepad and using them like you would in an ARPG. How this realization and this new loss affects XIV remains to be seen, but I hope it gives us something closer to the pre-X era in terms of gameplay.Just imagine the money remastering Final Fantasy 7-9.

No, no, that's only in the U.S.They should have been spent 100 million dollars instead. Then they'd have gotten bonuses for running their companies into the ground.
I think they make a decent amount from the PS1 downloads off the PSP/PS3. I wouldn't be shocked if, in their wrongheadedness, they assume people will buy those yet again off whatever new network appears for the PS4/Vita.Something else I thought of as I've been playing some old Gamecube games recently. Why the fuck hasn't Capcom released another Megaman Anniversary Collection? The GCN/PS2 one from the 20th is awesome. It's got MM 1-8, plus the Power Battle arcade games. With BluRay discs they could probably squeeze all that plus the X franchise onto a disc. Square should do that for FF. I would think 1-10 would fit on one or two discs easily enough, with maybe one more bonus disc with some music and such on it. I imagine that would sell like mad.
They did release a Mega Man X compilation with 1-6 on it, as well as the Mega Man Battle & Chase racing game:With BluRay discs they could probably squeeze all that plus the X franchise onto a disc.
Capcom's only big failings seem to be lack of Megaman support and crappy Resident Evil sequels. But despite that, they have enough going for them to stay strong.Capcom has an amazing summer line-up for the Arcade/PSN with Ducktales and the Dungeons and Dragons games.

Then they have stuff like Lost Planet 3 (Lost Planet 2 was GREAT) and Remember Me (an interesting original IP) coming out around the same time, with Japan getting Monster Hunter 4 and another Phoneix Wright game later this year. I'd hate to say it but Capcom has a real fuckin' solid release schedule for this year.
Now all we need is a new Megaman game or a compilation of their Disney games.
Well, except for finally shooting Kira, he was a pretty lousy detective.Even Matsuda (the guy replacing him) is taking a 40% paycut.
Well that, and pricing their mobile games for less than $20-$30 each.They should have been spent 100 million dollars instead. Then they'd have gotten bonuses for running their companies into the ground.
Yeah, that's been kind of weird, especially since Square really hasn't taken a hand in dictating what Eidos is doing. It's like they just needed to know someone had their back so they could get confident and stop making total garbage.Only part of Squeenix not a failure anymore is the former Eidos, who before the acquisition was a huge failure.
No, no, that's only in the U.S.
I would play the shit out of an updated version of FF8. There is literally no female character in that game I didn't have a crush on.Just imagine the money remastering Final Fantasy 7-9.

Treppies forever!I would play the shit out of an updated version of FF8. There is literally no female character in that game I didn't have a crush on.
Yes, that includes Doctor Kadowaki.
I was a Selphie guy myself... until I dated one nearly exactly like her. Now it's all about Quistis.I would play the shit out of an updated version of FF8. There is literally no female character in that game I didn't have a crush on.
Yes, that includes Doctor Kadowaki.
I meant the TAs in my classes were 3 years older. Because they were graduate students.Actually, Quistis is the same age as most of her students. She's 18, the same age as Seifer, while Squall is 17 in the game.
She's just extraordinarily talented, which is why they made her an instructor.
In that case, carry on!I meant the TAs in my classes were 3 years older. Because they were graduate students.
Possibly, and that's another perfect example of how Squenix doesn't understand a thing about the modern video game industry. Their concept of pricing is ridiculous.I wonder if they might have made their revenue if they hadn't been so married to the 60 dollar price point.
