Video Game News and Updates 003
GAMING WITH DEE – Video Game news and updates
Hello
Ladies and Gentlemen, Welcome back to GWD Extended Content’s Video gaming News
and Updates. First off I would like to apologize for the long wait. Wednesday I
had a doctor’s appointment, and Thursday was hunting for a new place. Time got
away from me. With that being said I back, and bringing you the update for the
21st for June 2013. We have ONE TOPIC that I wanted to speak on
yesterday but time got away from me.
Microsoft’s huge reversal
Microsoft
After
taking a quick trip to Xbox.com, I found something extremely interesting. As it
turns out, it seems Microsoft did in fact listen to feedback. As what I’m about
to tell you is from a post directly from Don Mattrick Himself which can be
found at the link provided at the bottom of this segment. It seems I wasn’t too
far off what I thought Microsoft would say to regain consumer trust. Stating,
“You told us how much you loved the flexibility you have today with games delivered on disc. The ability to lend, share, and resell these games at your discretion is of incredible importance to you. Also important to you is the freedom to play offline, for any length of time, anywhere in the world.”
As forth coming as this post is, I get this feeling
of reluctance… As if he is saying, “This isn’t want we wanted to do, but
because you guys won’t buy our product the way we want to make it, we will give
you want YOU WANT.” I mean I’m already distrustful as it is, you can’t tell me
they did any market study that suggested the vast majority or gamers WANTED to
have region locks, WANTED to have restrictions on used games, WANTED to be
forced to download all there games even if they bought them on disc, and WANTED
to be forced into online play even for games that don’t require an online
connection. I mean come on, EA’s fuck up with Sim City is still fresh on
peoples mind. No one who games wants to be forced into a online situation when
the game doesn’t call for it. To make a system based around the concept of
always online DRM is the most flawed choice in gaming history. I’m sure some of
you out there were behind this, as your half-baked ideals on gaming lead you to
believe that the gaming industry needs these kind of restrictions if it’s going
to survive.
While I will acknowledge
Microsoft’s own acknowledgement of their mistake, this should have never
happened. When they revealed the Xbox what happened to listening then. Why did
it take feedback from E3 for them to set their wrongs right. Lets assume this
change was brought on by the number of pre-orders for this console. This speak
much loader then my blog, or anyone's blog, or vlogs, or any amount of
noise we could create on the Internet. It’s the Internet, Microsoft can easily
mark that up to fan boys are going to whine. So speaking of this as it is a
result of E3, then it has to be pre-orders, the numbers are undeniable. Thing
is that this is to major of a choice and there is evidence that suggest that
this choice has been in the works since their reveal. For one, everything was a
“probably scenario” Nothing gaming wise about this console had been finalized.
This tells me that they were just testing to see just how gamers would react to
their console. If they were going to go for it, then they were going to push forward
with their console as was. Secondly the fact that at the Reveal and E3 the
refused to talk about certain features, they even canceled several
arrangements, and I can only guess it’s because they didn’t want to be
questioned about choices they had not finalized yet. E3 was the big push they
needed to know they fucked up, and the pre-orders were just icing on the cake.
Now that Microsoft has
pulled themselves out of the dog house and into the yard, maybe we can get down
to figuring out just which console is the better console. Maybe with this new
development Sony will be forced to share more about the PS4, and not only that,
but we will see breakthroughs in gaming innovation, as both console will compete
for the best titles, with the best features. Console wars are good for
business, In more ways than one, If Sony had been allowed to ride on by on this
wave if PR bullshit created by Microsoft’s major fuck up, we may have been
looking at future restrictions put into place but Sony, as they truly aren’t to
be trusted anymore then Microsoft is. Consumers need to look out for consumers,
PERIOD. The moment we allow even one of these companies to get away with
murder, they will continue to do it, over and over and over again. As I stated
before, DRM if used properly is effective it may not stop but it does slow the
process of people getting things illegally. Microsoft’s choice to move away
from DRM is quite possibly the greatest victory in Consumer activism that I’ve
ever seen. This should be used as a prime example in the future, when looking
for ways to get businesses and game developers to understand that we DON’T WANT
THIS, that we mean it. Your money holds more value to companies then your
Voice, See your voice starts the cycle, but if you don’t back it up with
actions such as not pre ordering a horrid console, what good is our voice.
Picture this, what if
someone like Jesse Cox stated he hated this new game coming out, it’s full to
the brim with DRM, it developers have the most anti-consumer ideals, the game
forces you in to situations and scenarios such as always being connect to the
Internet, losing control of your own save files, the inability to trade in this
game in the future to the auth key locking this version of the game to your
account. The game is good, BUT MAN ARE THIS SOME HORRIBLE CHOICES DEVELOPMENT
MADE. Picture him going on and on about his for weeks, rallying his followers
from the Shaboozey Community and more to his cause. Just picture, everyone is
speaking out telling friends and strangers that this game is bad it’s hellabad
don’t get it when it comes out. Then the game is out, and Jesse releases a “Revenge
of the Q&A” stating he bought this game to “give it a try.” Though this has
never happened, if it did it would be terrible, Let explain why, He rose his
voice and gained followers, but NOT ONE BIT OF THAT MATTERS AFTER THEY HAVE
YOUR FUCKING MONEY. They don’t care if you don’t like the game, they have
locked you in with DRM you can’t trade it back now. They don’t offer refunds,
YOU KNEW WHAT KIND OF COMPANY THESE DEVELOPERS WERE RUNNING, but you gave them
your money anyway. Nothing speaks loader then with holding your money from
companies who will do anything to get it from you. At least that is how I see
it.
So in this case, I believe
we gained much more then we lost, as gamers and consumers. This was a victory
for us, but stopping here when it seems gamers have just found out the best way
to make their voices heard would be the greatest loss. As I stated before to a
friend of mine, as gamers we are divided, and as long as we remain that way, we
will NOT get what we want out of our games. Games are just not being made by
gamers for gamers, we need to continue this, and not get big headed because we
managed to get Microsoft to pull a complete reversal. As soon as we fall back, I
PROMISE YOU Microsoft or Sony is going to pull something funky. That’s my
opinion on the subject. Hope you learned something you didn’t and if your
looking for the link it will be posted just below this paragraph. Thank you for
your time and continued support.

Video Game News and Updates 002
GAMING WITH DEE - Video Game news and updates
Hello Ladies and Gentlemen, Welcome
to GWD Extended Content’s Video gaming News and Updates for the 18th of June
2013. Today we will talk about;
- XCOM is coming to iOS with a price tag of $20.
- Dead Rising 3 will be more mature and sophisticated.
- Avalanche Dev on game trading
- Release round up
XCOM on iOS
We have known for a while that XCOM
was coming to iOS with release date set for June 20th, what we didn’t
know is how much it would cost. The price for XCOM is set at $20 in the states,
13.99 pounds in the UK, and 17.99 euros in Europe. Seems like a lot to ask for an
iOS game right, it’s right up there with someone Square’s Final Fantasy games
released for iOS. Before you jump on the band wagon, let me tell you this
though, XCOM Enemy Unknown will be *almost*
a direct port of the console and PC version of the game, with lower graphics
and some limited map choices. Yesterday on gamespot a post stated that the
title will launch on iPhone, iPod, and iPad Touch, with cloud connection to
share saves between the three devices. Multiplayer however will not be
available on launch, but will be added in a future update for the game, and
will be free.
So what are my thoughts on this?...
I’d buy it, I mean we aren’t talking about some casual iOS game, or app that
they are trying to sell for $20 dollars. We are talking about a FULL game, sure
lower graphic quality and fewer maps, but it’s going to be on the iOS. This
game doesn’t require a controller to play, and to be honest it’s best on the PC
in my opinion. I wouldn’t mind seeing more games where my effectiveness isn’t
decreased without the use of a controller on the iPad, I don’t play many games
on my iPhone, the screen isn’t big enough for me. My iPad however I can get
into that. An as I said the price tag is reasonable. We are talking about a
game that came out on pc and console for 50 to 60 dollars. An they are only
asking for 20 dollars on iOS, SOLD, and give me more of this. Now if you can
make it so that the games saved to cloud could be shared between pc and iOS, I’d
go out and market the game FOR YOU. What
am I saying? I’m saying, give me more core games on the iOS that have some
connectivity to my console and PC games, and I WILL PAY FOR THEM, an trust me,
if I’m willing to shell out that 20 dollars for a iOS game that is a port of a
core game, a NEARLY direct port (cause it won’t match graphics.) I promise you
that there are more out there who are willing to shell out that 20 dollars.
Again this is a matter of choice,
your choice to either get behind this and support it and bring this into the
next generation, or whine about the price tag. I get it, not everyone has money
to be throwing at games like that, and what may seem like spending money to
some, is gas and lunch money to others. I get it trust me, I’ve been on both
ends of the spectrum, and am currently balancing in the middle. Trust me I know.
If you got the money BUY THIS and show them you want more of this, if not then
raise your voice in petitions and blogs and let them know YOU DO WANT THIS.
Core games on iOS that connect to cloud, and next gen systems that can connect
to cloud, think about it, this could be the start of something. As for XCOM on
iOS as I support this, will I actually buy it yeah, I don’t see why not, and I think
you should too.
Dead Rising 3
When Dead Rising 3 was shown at E3 I
have to admit I was rather disappointed with what I saw. I felt like the game
was moving away from what I enjoyed about it the most in light of appealing to
a more hard core audience. Sadly it seems like my fears were confirmed. To me
and many others what set dead rising apart from other hardcore zombie survival
games is that it had this zany over-the-top feel to it. I mean I beat a Zombies
about the head with a large stuffed animal… COME ON tell me that doesn’t sound
appealing to you. Sadly they are moving away from that. A report post on
Destructoid stats that Dead Rising 3 is being aimed to appeal to call of duty
fans.
If only you could hear me sigh right
now. I really don’t know what to say about this, I mean it’s not like this is a
reboot of the game, it’s not a brand new IP, Dead Rising had something all the
other games didn’t, it had something that set it apart from all the other
games. Now you’re telling me you want to change that to appeal to CALL OF DUTY
FANS. Of all people CALL OF DUTY FANS, among all the tiers of gamers CoD fans
are the lowest. You wanna talk about a game that doesn’t require a great deal
of thinking to play look no further then CoD. This looks like nothing more than
a cash grab to me because that is all CoD is, and people eat that up. I mean
lets be real for a moment. CoD, Final Fantasy, Animal Crossing, Harvest Moon,
Pokemon, they all fall in the same tier of being the same game with minor
changes to game play and story line. Why fix what isn’t broken, people eat it
up, throw money at every single one of these titles when they hit the shelves
and online stores.
My question is why shot yourself in
the foot, I could see if this game was like DMC, mean I LOVED DMC LOVED IT, but
the truth is the reboot WAS GOOD, sure it failed in certain area’s but it had a
much better story, and it was much easier to follow and wasn’t full of plot
holes. DMC needed a reboot, DEAD RISING HOWEVER DID NOT, thus it hasn’t received
one, however dead rising 3 is moving away from everything that made that game
enjoyable to me in the first place, had it have been similar I would have
actually considered getting a Xbox One, I mean games like Dead Rising would
have convinced me to get the console… I think this is a bad Ideal, but I won’t
see until the game comes out and I have a chance to see the game play and hear
what others who were fans of Dead Rising like myself have to say about it.
Sorry Capcom but you haven’t sold this one to me… I won’t be convinced till I see
more.
Avalanche Dev on game trading
A Developer from Avalanche Studio’s
speaks on the reason why so many games are being traded in. He believes the
reason why games are being traded in, is due to the fact that games are too
short, or offer little motivation to return. Sundberd states;
“I’m sure it’s been an issue but that’s because games have been too short. I mean, when you can play a game through from 8 to 10 hours, I would return the game too, because there’s no reason for gamers to play it again.”
“If you’re offering little variation, then there’s no motivation for players to keep that game-unless they want to have a nice bookshelf. That’s why we answered that with Just Causes. I go into the game stores each week and go to the used game boxes- I usually don’t find that many [copies of Just Cause.]”
I honestly have to say I agree with
this, it’s not just game size though, if the game itself is bad then I’m not
going to want to keep it either. Depending what your making, make your game worthwhile,
make it last more than 10 hours, and
make second and third playthroughs just as interesting as the first. Don’t try
and keep people interested in the game with achievements making them play
through the same old boring content a second and third time, add new bosses, no
enemies, unlock certain area’s DO SOMETHING OTHER THEN POINTLESS ACHIEVEMENTS.
It’s been a thing gamers have wanted for a while now, BIGGER GAMES , LONGER
GAMES, BETTER GAMES. We have been saying this for years now, and they don’t
listen. Listen when game stops employees ARE TOLD TO PUSH USED COPIES OUT
BEFORE NEW COPIES, there has got to be a reason behind that. Instead of
cracking down on the gamer for not enjoying the game, how about you look at
what your giving to use before you try to force it on us eh?

Games coming out this week
Finally what we are going to do is
take a look a games that are coming out this week, which sadly isn’t a lot, and
they aren’t really much to shake a stick at anyway.
Dungeons and Dragons Chronicles of Mystara
First up we have Dungeons and
Dragons: Chronicles of Mystara, A collection of Capcom’s classic arcade
brawlers. This game will be released on PC, Wii U, PS3 and Xbox live. It’s
looks pretty damn good, and I’m kind thinking about good it, they said it was
coming to PC, but I don’t as I’ve searched on Steam and the page is blank, all It
did was lead be back to the store.
Epic Mickey II
(vita)
Next we have Epic Mickey II finding
its way to PlayStation Vita, if you’re a friend of mine in real life, you know I
loved the first Epic Mickey, didn’t care for the second. This isn’t really a
game I’m looking to pick up, but if you have a Vita and are looking for a game
to play on it, and don’t mind the glaring differences between one and two or
have never played one, I would suggest picking this up.
Knights of Pen and Paper +1 Edition
Knights of Pen and Paper +1 Edition
is coming to PC, A retro inspired RPG made for iPhone and Android. It takes pen
and paper styling to a more classic Final Fantasy approach. If you are into
fantasy rpg’s and have a sometime to spare, I say pick this one up. Came out
today if I’m not mistaken, it was pretty fun on iOS a lot of customizable
things here, you actually do play as the guys who are playing the RPG, and can
upgrade things in that effect the overall game play. Pretty neat if you want to
try it out before playing it on PC I suggest getting on the iPad as I hate
playing games on my iPhones smallish screen.
Jak and Daxter Collection
(PSNV and Vita)
One of my personal favorites The
Jak and Daxter collection is making it’s way to PSNV (the PSN on the Vita) If
you haven’t played this, I forgive you, but only if you go and pick this game
up. Play through ALL OF THEM and then try to tell me they AREN’T fucking
amazing. If you don’t like them, we have no further business. If you don’t know
what Jack and Daxter is… wiki it… like why are you even here… stop let me stop
it’s cool, your just a soulless human who had not childhood it’s cool… it’s a
collection of three games A action RPG where you play as the main character Jak
as you fight your way through various stages to find out the the mystery of
Dark Eco which soon opens up to a much bigger story that is just so satisfying
and amazing, and involves a Legacy that exist in their world called the
Precursor Legacy. Get it play it and enjoy it, the first game is kinda slow, but
the second one makes up for, mainly cause Jak isn’t a mute anymore. He speaks…
and oh boy did I love his first words lol. I would suggest picking this one up
if you’re a old fan, or never played Jak
and Daxter in which case it is already on the PSN for PS3 GET IT NOW IF YOU
HAVE A PS3 if not, GET A PS4 WHEN IT COMES OUT, AND GET IT!!!!
Storm
Next we have a interesting little
title called Storm coming to PS3 I don’t know much about this game other than
what I was able to look up in such a short amount of time. Apparently you can
manipulate nature such as wind, rain, lighting, and snow, to solve puzzles… at
your own pace. Interacting with the land scape in season to lead a seed to a
new home… it’s a puzzle game. If your into puzzle games ENJOY… as I stated it’s
coming out for the PS3 if I’m not mistaken most US releases released TODAY and
most release on Tuesdays anyway, if your overseas in the UK or Europe it will
be out Friday.
Castlevanina Lament of Innocence
Next we have Castlevania Lament of
Innocence, a PS2 classic coming to PSN along with Corvette Evolution GT also a
PS2 classic coming to PSN, not a big racing fan, but the Castlevania games have
always been a favorite of mine, I’m thinking about getting it just for old time’s
sake, kinda to pass the time while I wait for other more exciting titles to
drop.
New Super Luigi U
New Super Luigi U is coming to the
eShop for the Wii U… Where do they come up with these names, and my god, Nintendo just loves the Mario brothers don’t they. We will
never see an end to the two will we. I don’t know though I haven’t played a
Mario game in the last few years, I think I might get this later on after I’ve
beaten or gotten bore with some of the games I’m currently playing for reviews,
and leisure. I mean come on who doesn’t enjoy a solid Mario or Luigi title, and
it’s about time Luigi gets some more love Mario is always hogging the spot
light.
Magrunner: Dark Pulse
Max Payne 3
(Mac)
Lastly we have Max Payne 3 coming
to the Mac on the 20th as well. This game has been out since the 15th
of May if memory serves me right, and came out on pc the 1st of this
month, well it’s coming to macs in two days, if you can’t wait, or not a PC
gamer, it’s out on for PS3 and Xbox 360. You should already know what Max Payne
is, this time I’m seriously not going to tell you what it is, if you don’t know
WIKI IT.
Well ladies and gentlemen that is
it for today’s video game news and updates, join me tomorrow for more. I’m
sorry todays came out so late, I had to help some move out their house… long
story, short, I now have a burning hatred for stairs. ANYWAY that’s it thank
you for your continued support and time, and I’ll try to get the next one out
at a more convenient hour. Good night.

Video Gaming News and Updates 001
GAMING WITH DEE - Video Game news and updates
Hello
Ladies and Gentlemen, Welcome to GWD Extended Content’s first Ever Video gaming
News and Updates. Today we will talk about;
- Planetary Annihilation Alpha on sell for 90 Dollars
- Ubisoft is asking PC gamers to show support and interest in a PC version of The Division
- Kingdom Hearts 3 Development
- Minor change in the choice for Video game news and updates.
PLANETARY ANNIHILATION
Alright
let’s get this thing started shall we, first off I want talk to you about
Planetary Annihilation. Supposedly the spiritual successor to Total
Annihilation, Planetary Annihilation is an upcoming real-time strategy game
developed by Uber Entertainment. Most of the team from Total Annihilation and
Supreme commander are said be behind the Development of this game. HOWEVER
there happens to be a major hiccup with this game, after a successful kick starter
the game moved to Steam where they are asking for 90 DOLLARS for early access,
which is significantly more than how much the finished product of the game will
cost. Many people slammed Uber for being greedy, and rated the game poorly on Meta
Critic, despite not being finished, and clearly being in alpha. Eventually Meta
Critic took the page down, but that isn’t the real problem.
The problem here isn’t so much that the game cost 90
dollars to get early access to the alpha, but more about gamers feeling entitled
to something for less than what others have paid to gain access. See on Planetary
Annihilation’s Kick Starter, they offered access to the Alpha of the game for
90 dollars while access to the beta was set at 40 dollars, and one could get a
finished copy of the game at 20 dollars. Considering that Alpha is a long way
from finished and may even be a long way from Beta. I have to wonder, why the
90 dollar price tag for Alpha, I mean IT’S ALPHA full of bugs and broken code, I
mean I’ve played a lot of Alpha’s and some them out right just don’t work. I’ll get into this a bit later, because while I
don’t fully support their choice of price I do support the action of charging
gamers the same price from kick starter to Steam.
The fella’s over at Uber stated the reason for this 90
dollar price tag was in fact because their Kick Starter Tier offered access to
the games Alpha starting at 90 dollars (of course this access was included
should you have desired to pledge more than 90 dollars.) Here is the truth;
Uber is in the RIGHT here, not the wrong. It is anti-consumer and just plain
stupid to put out access to the Alpha on steam for less than what you offered
on kick starter after the success of your Kick Starter. If they had done such,
they stand to lose a lot of support for those who backed them from the very
beginning and sadly I don’t believe that losing that support in exchange for
those who want it for less on steam is a good trade off. It would be a bad
business practice on their part; sadly because gamers feel they are entitled to
something for less simply because they don’t do any research on the games they
are about to purchase and/or play, Uber is left with a catch 22 situation.
Either they lose or they lose, one way or the other they are going to have one
pissed off party, one party pissed at the price tag of 90 dollars, or the other
party pissed they had to pay 90 while the crybabies on steam got access for
much less.
HOW EVER charging 90 dollars to for access to an alpha is
still a bit out there. Like I said previously I’ve played a number of games
still in alpha, as well as games that only offer beta access, the reason being
is because most early access games are significantly cheaper, thus making early
access seem more appealing as the price is more reasonable. A cheaper price
would appeal to a lot more, and would no doubt have brought them in more sales.
However this is early access we are talking about here, access to a game that doesn’t
properly work if it works at all in some cases, your technically getting
involved in the games development at this point. Thing is that games cost a
significant amount of money to make, so was the choice to put this game on
steam for the same price point wrong? NO, they rose a little over 2mil and I highly
doubt that is going to be enough. What steam is, is a just a way to generate
more revenue to complete their game. The controversy over the 90 dollar price
tag could have been avoided by simply not putting this game up on steam till a
working beta version of the game had been developed. Which would have been significantly
cheaper than alpha access, but who’s to say that they didn’t need the money to
complete the beta. Like I said it takes a lot of money to make a game, “Why?” You
may ask, well either you have to outsource to contractors to do the work you cannot,
in which case you have to pay them a lot of money, or you stick with your staff
of developers and higher on new staff. NO MATTER HOW YOU LOOK AT IT, you still
have to pay people for their work. An game developers get paid pretty nicely
for their particular skill set. I personally don’t have a problem with them
opening up and offering early access on steam they need the money, and steam is
a great way to get it. I DO NOT believe anyone has the right to complain about
early access to a game, I’ve remember when you NEVER got access to a games
alpha, let alone the beta, now developers are throwing gamers a bone, and all
they can seem to do is complain about the price that they have to pay. Yes 90
dollars is a bit ridiculous but never the less people are still paying for it.
It’s a choice, if you want early access as well as access to the beta and a
copy of the game when it release’s then shell out the 90 dollars, if not,
please just shut up and wait till the beta comes out, it’s literally that
simple.
The Division
Developers of the game
The Division, Ubisoft states that there will only be a PC version made if there
is a demand for it. If there is a major amount of support the game, it will
find its way to PC and 50,000 PC gamers rise to the challenge hitting the forums,
and create petitions to show Ubisoft that they really want this game.
What is The Division you may be
wondering, as I know I was when I heard what Ubisoft was saying? Tom Clancy’s
(yes that’s right this game is a Clancy) The Division is a up and coming MMO-ish
third person shooter, with action rpg elements, developed by Ubisoft Massive
for the Xbox One and PlayStation 4, it was one of the surprise hit
announcements made during Ubisoft’s E3 2013 Press conference. The Division is a
game based in a world where we DIDN’T stop the terrorist. The player becomes
the last line of defense, sent out to do whatever they have to, to save what
remains. The game is pretty big, taking place in the greater NY area, and in
Machinima’s talk with the dev.’s, they claim that if the demand for content is
there, they will continue to deliver.
The
issue is this, why is Ubisoft demanding PC gamer’s show their support for a PC
version of a game. All of Ubisoft’s core games eventually found their way to PC,
if they weren’t on PC at launch they were eventually ported over. I can’t really
any instance where Ubisoft had a decline in PC sells, so exactly why are they
doing this? I mean in a sense this is forcing gamers who prefer to play on the
PC to go out and raise awareness for the game for Ubisoft. I could understand
that if Ubisoft wasn’t known for making some brilliant pc ports as Massive is already
known for, but as I just said, Massive is already know for doing stunning games
on the PC. I just don’t see a clear reason behind this. I feel like I’m missing
something somewhere, but no matter where I search I keep seeing the same thing,
no major decline in PC sells, yet Ubisoft has made this choice. Never the less
THIS IS REAL, they are asking for you guys to go out and raise support, instead
of doing it themselves. I can’t think of any reason for this, not a single one.
Needless to say, I’ll be getting this game for the PS4 regardless of if it
comes out on PC or not, I hate playing FPS on my PC personally, and enjoy them
more on console.
Kingdom Hearts 3
This
next bit is just me following the Kingdom Hearts 3 Development. I will be
checking in on it weekly, as it is a major title that I actually care about,
and one of the biggest reasons I’m getting a PS4, (other than the fact that Microsoft
has lost their GOT DA… let me stop… it’s cool it’s cool.) MOVING ON. After
Kingdom Hearts 3’s Trailer was shown at E3 Kingdom Hearts 3’s Director Nomura
talked about the games current development. From the article I read this game
isn’t even NEARLY close to coming out. Nomura stated;
“Since the release of Kingdom Hearts 2, I believe that many fans were feeling impatient due to our continuous spin-off titles, so we decided to announce it at the same time as Final Fantasy XV. However, looking at the current development status, I think we may have announced it a little too early.”
Can’t say that came as a
surprise, I figured it didn’t the trailer didn’t cover much game play at all,
and was much shorter than FFXV’s trailer. Although the games visual were said
to be solid there haven’t made much in the progress of the games actually
development. What we do know is that this game will feature an old Sora now a
Keyblade Master, faster and stronger than ever before. This is actually
something I was hoping for, not only do I crave a good story that makes sense,
but character development is equally important. Nomura Replied to the question about
Kingdom Hearts 3’s action and how it has evolved, saying;
“At this moment, we actually have a working demo version… and it’s really wild. The ‘bold action’ has become even greater. Kingdom Hearts 3 features a party of 3, but you’ll also have different NPCs join in the battle in the other worlds, and the action is pretty flashy. You’ll be flying all over the place in aerial combat without ever having to land.”
However
I have to say, in the current state, I don’t think we will see or hear much
about this game for a while. Having a working demo of combat and a working demo
of the game are two different things. All I can say is that rather it’s PS4 or
Xbox One, Square has a chance here that they didn’t have before. Kingdom Hearts
3 has a chance to be the grandest and largest of the 3 core releases. Next Gen
console will allow them to do so much more. An I look forward to actively
following this game through its development. I have a lot of high hopes not
just for the game play elements of this game, but the story as well. While
little is known at this time, I’m sure they will pull out the twist and turns
the further they move into development, after all this is kingdom hearts we are
talking about here.
Changes to Video game News and Updates
This isn’t that much of a big thing,
just I figured I’d be best to get this out of the way now then to actually make
a whole new post and waste your time with it there. Instead of once a week, I’ll
be bringing you news and updates on anything I can find EVERY WEEKDAY, that is Monday
– Friday. I don’t work weekends an any news I find or hear on over the weekend
will be in the follow Mondays News and Updates. The format that I’m bringing it
to you will remain the same, each day I will cover at least 3 to 5 topics that I
find interesting. I’ll be doing this, as well as playing the games requested
for reviews, researching the games, writing and editing the reviews, and gaming
news and updates, and as well as eventually (when my pc gets fixed) recording
videos. If for any reason I decide NOT to bring you news and updates for any
period of time, you will be informed here as well as my twitter and tumblr. The
links to all of my content will be provided at the end of every post as well.
Thank you for your time and continued support
