Corollary: too many climaxes is acceptable in a game of F-Zero.

Because you can't have too many climaxes or climaxes lose their impact. Same concept applies to film.

"It looks just like thousands of games that you'd play on your phone or tablet, only it's being controlled by a gamepad and is blown up on a big screen."

As much fire as I will come under for saying this, I'm reserving my judgement until the game is out.

Woah...was this all done by ONE GUY?

Please please PLEASE give us the option to use a traditional controller...

Ah, well. Any NBA Jam player worth his salt knows the only way to play it is in local multi.

As wishful thinking as it is (and perhaps as much of a personal goal as it is), I couldn't see a Western developer ever making a JRPG in the current economic climate. The anti-Japan fervor is riding high in gaming journalism at large, as well as in market trends.

Ohhhhhhhhh if you're Donte and you know it go FUCK YOU, if you're Donte and you know it go FUCK YOU, if you're Donte and you know it then Tameem is sure to blow it if you're Donte and you know it go FUCK YOU

Because Comcast and DTV are TV providers, and Sony is not. Comcast and DVT own the infrastructure, Sony does not. If they want any access to that infrastructure, and wanted to make it accessible through EVERYBODY's services (Comcast, DTV, Dish, WOW, Cox, Time Warner, etc.), they would have to pay EVERYBODY, and that's…

Not Sony's fault on this one. Blame the US cable infrastructure.

I'm an "idort" as they say - PS3, 360, Wii, and PC.

All depends on how you do it.

Finally, the first sensible piece that has been published on this site about the videogame-violence matter. May be a matter of opinion, but I would've hired Sarah over Patricia in a heartbeat.

God, if the Orbis really is a casuals machine I'm gonna weep. There will be no console left for the core gamer, and that is NOT going to bode well.

No, just a guy who thinks that there ought to be some dignity in a media industry and that it shouldn't devolve into a decadent 3-ring circus every chance it gets.

In the nmogco article, he says that we'll get to 5 billion smartphones on the planet?

It's sort of akin to VC (which I much enjoyed), but give it a good dose of FF, Parasite Eve, and Mass Effect.

Well, I'm glad to hear that's the case. Thanks! :)

This easily sounds like the worst mainline Tales game in history... the more I look at it, the more I think it was a studio sequel that got rushed out the door.
