The E3 2011 thread

Re: The E3 2011 thread

Maybe a bit of an off the wall question, but did Sony say how much Vita games were going to cost? They have admitted that they are selling the PSV at a major loss (will take 2+ years before the hardware will be profitable). Not that the launch line up interests me at all, more of just a curiosity thing.

Also, Koji Taguchi (senior executive officer at S-E holdings) said that Eidos saved S-Es ass at E3 and was humiliated at the Japanese side of the company's showing. Which is totally understandable: no Versus, Type-0, any hint on XV, Dream Drop Distance, BbS: Volume 2, DQ X, new Dissidia DLC costumes and music*, the list goes on and on...


*Just as an aside, Shantotto's 4th costume and the XI song package are available on the EU PSN.

According to this report, GameStop appears to be expecting PS Vita game prices to be around $40.

This isn't that much of a surprise. Square-Enix internal development is a train wreck. Final Fantasy XIV is a perfect example of just how broken the internal processes are.

Eidos is really kicking butt and taking names right now. Deus Ex: Human Revolution looks great. Tomb Raider looks great. Even Hitman: Absolution looks like it has some sizzle.

^ I was wondering where the fuck SE was at the show. All they had was XIII-2, oh yay...


At the very least, it would have been a prime opportunity to kick-start the PS3 campaign for FFXIV, if it were ready that is

Don't forget Heroes of Ruin by n-Space.

Its a fully featured Diablo/Dungeon Siege -style 3DS title. Online co-op, drop-in/drop-out, Streetpass and Spotpass functionality. Oh, and voice chat, too.

Speaking of which Dungeon Siege III is also looking good from what I played of the PS3 demo. Maybe one perk of SE being behind it is keeping Obsidian totally in-check where bugs are concerned. It was very polished... for an Obsidian game.

SE's western dealings may end up being what saves SE from far more than an embarassing showing at E3. SE better have some big guns ready for TGS. I was kinda ticked there was absolutely nothing on Dragon Quest X.

Re: The E3 2011 thread

Woulda been nice if Bandai had a new Tales game for us too.


I didn't care for Symphonia all that much, but I'm loving the hell out of Vesperia (Yeah I know it came out years ago, but I just never got around to it until last week - snagged it for $13 along with FEAR 2)

Getting back to SE though, I'd love if if they could get their shit together and give us Grandia 4 - and not have it suck total ass like 3 did. 1 & 2 were both freaking amazing games.

Re: The E3 2011 thread

that new RE game looks pretty cool!

Re: The E3 2011 thread

Hmm, it's looking like another fun rental at best to be perfectly honest, but we'll see.

<.< I still refuse to buy anything Capcom until they stop taking their fanbase for granted and ditch the bullshit gouging.

Says the guy with a "Tales of" game character in his sig...

Re: The E3 2011 thread

?

AFAIK, the majority of the tales games are JP only, we've only had a few released here. Vesperia's the 1st game I've actually taken the time to buy (and even then I snagged it for $13 from my blockbuster that's closed down now) and play through. I've seen bits & pieces of Symphonia, haven't really touched the others.

Vesperia is pretty high quality stuff though, been a while since I've enjoyed an RPG this much so what's wrong with asking for more?

Re: The E3 2011 thread

People noticed the USS member names, mew!

Hector Hivers (Beltway)
Michaela Scheider (Bertha)
Vladimir Bodrovski (Spectre)
Christine Yamata (Four Eyes)
Karena Lesproux (Lupo)

Vector real name is a mystery. but it's confirmed HUNK (James Cooper) was his mentor.

Re: The E3 2011 thread

Did anyone post this video already? I looked for it but didn't find it oddly enough.

Sadly it's EA... again. orz

Re: The E3 2011 thread

I heard some people are in an uproar just because Battlefield 3 announced it's having 1st day DLC or something, mew.

Re: The E3 2011 thread

Yeah, it's EA... again. orz

Probably has to do with the maps from the special *coughoverpricedcough* edition.

I was referring to this. Fans for years have BEGGED Namco to release Destiny 2, Rebirth, Innocence, Hearts, Graces (which is getting released as the F version), plus the Vesperia, Symphonia, Phantasia (the good ones, not the shitty GBA one) Destiny, Destiny 2, and Rebirth remakes in the west and until VERY recently, have been given the cold shoulder. And even though Abyss 3D* and Graces F are getting released in the west, Xillia will be out in Japan in September, right smack dab in the middle of both the western releases of the other two games. There has been no word in ToX will be released outside Japan.


*It's also completely half-assed. They are just cutting and pasting the voice work from the PS2 game, so no voices for skits.
