Who the fuck could possibly know that right now? No one at Kotaku is some sort of clairvoyant wizard. Even Sony and Ubisoft employees don't know how good this game will be (on the PS4 or otherwise) since it's definitely still in active development.

In your defense, I think Jet Force Gemini was not well balanced, and I found a considerable portion of the game to be unreasonably hard. So good for you being better than I and actually reaching the end of that game.

I'm with you, in that even though I sort of hope Sticker Star sells badly, I'm afraid that will just result in Nintendo canning that series for a good long while because they're taking the wrong lesson from the low sales. Maybe it's just always been a low-selling series, and Nintendo has gotten so desperate that the…

I imagine it's a combination of budget and stylistic choices. I just feel like the Persona series (namely 4) raised the bar on how the SMT-style battle system could look, similar to the way that DQ VIII raised the bar on that series.

This trailer does a good job of barely showing the fact that combat in SMT games looks like complete garbage compared to the Persona games. I just can't deal with first-person 2D JRPGs, where all of the enemies are static images and all of the attacks and abilities barely have any animation to them. It was bullshit…

No, those really aren't good enough. Already bought NES Legend of Zelda and The Adventure of Link on the Wii's Virtual Console, so sure as hell not buying them again.

Mario 3D Land actually gets really inventive in the later levels, on par with something like Super Mario Galaxy.

How is that even remotely likely? The 3DS has to render 2 images to achieve the 3D effect, so the actual graphical capabilities of the 3DS are like a powered up N64, or a really poor looking Gamecube game. A lot of XBLA/PSN games require better specs than that, so the eShop would need a specially made port for every…

I really hope that Sticker Star sells terribly so maybe Nintendo will take notice that they stripped out literally the only reasons people play the Paper Mario games (memorable party members, original locales, NPCs that aren't just goddamn Toads, weird story).

I just don't even get people like you. Like, what do you think this series is missing that Super Mario RPG had? Do you really specifically love Geno, Mallow, and the Smithy Gang THAT much? Because aside from not having those exact characters, the Mario & Luigi games have literally all of the humour, inventive battle…

The Little Sisters frequently refer to their accompanying Big Daddy as "Mr. Bubbles", since he's like a big teddy bear or something to them. This Valentine takes that in a...different direction.

Hachi roku!?

Personally, I liked it because the setting and structure and mechanics differed from the usual Zelda games. Sure, it recycled like all of the NPC character models and animations from OoT, but it did have original characters, and a whole bunch of original enemies. And obviously all of the environments and music are new.

So much of the gaming press (and gaming forums) immediately assumed that a presser about "the future of the Playstation" meant PS4 that if it's NOT that, then it is downright irresponsible of Sony to not be lowering expectations.

Outsourcing is fine if you outsource it to one developer and they're competent. You run into problems with outsourcing when you start stretching it across multiple developers. It sounds like this game spent some time with Gearbox, then went to Timegate, then back to Gearbox, with each swap resulting in scrapping a lot…

I don't know that I consider Scott Pilgrim a "successful" transmedia enterprise. The movie is pretty good, but the game is...not great.

This is the biggest layoff they've ever had, but I still don't think it's the first. I'm sure I remember hearing about at least one smaller layoff several quite a few years back. Not sure where I could find a good record about that sort of stuff, since any search engine queries are inevitably going to prioritize all…

Yeah, this "spreadsheet gaming" is the absolute worst part of the Fire Emblem community. Every forum just devolves into people acting like the game is "solved" and of course it's obvious who the right characters to use are.

Do you really think this is the first time Valve has ever fired or laid off employers in the past like 15 years since they made Half-Life? I assure you, it is not. But gaming journalism has grown to the point that people like you and I actually hear about layoffs.

Also, depending on what weapons you used all game, it could be a lot harder. The final boss is so far away that the Line Gun is near useless because it travels too slowly, the Force Gun thing (the shotgun equivalent) is also useless, the Flamethrower is obviously of no use, and I believe the Ripper (the saw blade…
