a ff7 remake on current generation wouldn't even have good looking graphics. WHY? not because of lack of hardware strength, they've got plenty to work with. ..but because you wouldn't even be able to see the screen past all the "splooge" that would fly outta me if they announced that game lol

as a non pc gamer this matters to me because I see all of the wasted potential. Im no fool, obviously money was the determining factor here. A install base of 120 million (across ps3/60) as opposed to maybe 15million demands it be cross generation in order to recoup cost of development.

it's fun so far but I know it could've been so much more. Its ambitious but hobbled in its approach.

am I the only one pissed this is cross generation instead of just next-generation? It'll end up like watch dogs under developed...under pushed.

I suppose we just see thinks differently, but there's nothing wrong with that. I feel like Nintendo put themselves in this boat. They'll do better next time around. I HOPE Ubisoft does something interesting with the gamepad but seeing as how most games already out don't im not gonna hold my breath on that front.

the possibilities may be...nice....but like 80% of the games out for wii u make no true use of it. Did Ubisoft come out and say that they're going to do anything different with it? There's no way of knowing WHEN it will release, by that time there will probably be countless other games that will overshadow it.

do you ONLY own a wii-u? Its available on everything else under the sun. I'd imagine the ps3/360 versions are quite similar to the wii-u version

this is true, bad publicity is.......bad.

and it will sell regardless, I love it, I REALLY do.

if you feel his comment was an exercise in stupidity then your response has done nothing more than meet him on that same level.

this is truth, it won't make much difference sales wise, if it's a good game it'll sell. Female characters or otherwise.

being snarky doesn't exactly constitute having a valid argument friend. Instead of insulting that man why not defeat him with logic. Don't take the low road so easily.

everything you've said is true but while I think that they MIGHT increase sales based on the inclusion of a female character I think the amount gained or lost either way will be negligible n if they've crafted a good game it will sell. The same can be said if you play as a female, if its a good game I'll buy it.

I was speaking with someone about this same thing the other day, the data I had seen suggested that 42% of gamers were female. That same Saturday said however that 68% of that number are playing on mobile devices.

you see, it must be a matter of perception, Because when you say maintain their integrity by only relying on themselves, I see: nobody wants to work with Nintendo and they have no other options.

except that they ARE selling well, faster than their predecessors for sure.

as gaming begins to come into its own as an acceptable entertainment medium. Which home consoles are currently doing, people dont think one odd for engaging in the activity. E.g. if I met a girl at a bar, I wouldn't likely have to shy away from saying that I sometimes play "duty" with my boys. It has become ubiquitous…

while I and my three close friends bought ps4, my brother in law and his two cousins bought Xbox 1 so...SOMEONE wants it.

im not angry. Nor do I feel I have any "self worth" tied to any particular console. But I hope for civility between people at the least. Not everyone has to agree but even disagreements can be reasonable and nice.

not even remotely butt hurt friend. I prefer civility where I can find it, and where I can't I try to maintain it. I failed to see the relevance of it given that this article isn't about comparing the two nor is it about sales figures, its just shameless flame bait.
