20fucking18 and we still get closed door demos.... If they can just show it, why make people talk about what they have seen behind closed doors rather than showing everyone?
Showing you reality is not conducive to selling you an ideal.
The talk is vague and open for interpretation. "It's GTA V and The Elder Scrolls and Deus Ex and The Witcher and it looks so cooooooool." Imaginations are sparked and appetites whetted. Mission accomplished.
It's also usually indicative that the game has enough development time left that anything they show now might change drastically by the time it comes out.
In order to avoid misrepresenting their unfinished product, they just don't let you see their product. Anything you imagine or remember incorrectly isn't their fault Anything they show you incorrectly is their fault.
It's boring and unsatisfying, but it's cost-effective and safe. It's a multi-million-dollar entertainment product.
I wonder if any of their GUI is getting redesigned to be friendlier for Avatars, because I don't see how these fit into the current "everything is flat squares floating in a dimensionless void" aesthetic.
That's a pretty good YouTube style thumbnail image.
When I saw this as a suggested video on YouTube, I legit thought they had hired an intern to make YouTube-specific thumbnails. Or maybe Vinny got sassy and decided to make one as a joke.
Unsurprisingly, it's amassed over 100,000 views in a little over a day.
This probably happens every time a Yakuza game comes to the west, but which of the games should I play? Do you lose anything starting with the PS3 Yakuzas? I remember playing Yakuza 1 way back in the day, but I do not think that game has probably aged well.
Yakuza 0 is the first chronologically (it's set in the 80s!), so if you wait for 0 you could start from the "beginning" on PS4.
Just from a business perspective, it would be madness if this feature were limited to a tangible dongle that you have to activate in another game. There is no way this cameo would encourage enough new sales of Twilight Princess to cover the costs of creating a unique gameplay system and the art assets to support it.
We're talking hundreds -- if not thousands -- of work hours to do something like this (it would probably take hundreds of work hours just to properly test an AI buddy system in an open world like this, probably dozens just to make sure climbing stuff and gliding doesn't break its terrestrial pathfinding AI). This is something that would take a team months to implement properly. In my mind, that would only be a reasonable investment if a key part of the game loop includes a standard dog pal or a whole progression of adventuring pals.
Unless I'm the crazy one, this trailer is more of a cross-promotional reveal that Breath of the Wild will include AI buddies.
Why would they not show this at the press conference in the VR slot?
Yeah, this is artisitically interesting, VR, and less than a minute long. It's a shame they didn't plop this in there somewhere. I wonder if the lack of any indie games has something to do with the SIE restructuring.
But, for realsies, why wasn't this on stage at Sony? This is short and wonderful. I bet it could've pushed at least a few thousand more copies if they showed it on stage at E3 :'(
