It is because they are incompetent in terms of marketing outside Japan, so they blame the market and don't care to improve. Valkyira being on sales in the front page of amazon for PS3 did more for it than SEGA, the same way being on steam did more for the PC crowd. It is the same reasoning why they sold or canceled…

You would be surprised of the size a niche game can make with appropriate marketing and word of mouth in the current world. Demons Soul was a niche game, Minecraft was a niche game...

Remember Hanlon's razor: "Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity."

Adam Sandler is the place where actors careers and reputations get to die... Remember Jack Nicholson in "Anger Management"? How about Pacino in "Jack & Jill"?

My main problem with Origins was that it tried to be a prequel, only so that they could justify having The Joker around. The game doesn't feel like a prequel: at no point Batman seems to have grown as a character (and no, making him less responsive in combat is not a good way of showing he is "unexperienced"), "bigger…

Good point... Origins is not a mediocre game per se. It is just that it feels less inspired than its predecessors.

No doubt about it. Its just that WB Games is a smaller publisher than Ubisoft (who can allow themselves to have rotating teams)...
And being a tentpole on E3 means nothing in terms of quality. Another games that have been tentpoles: every CoD game since 4, every FF game since 10, Star Wars: Old Republic and Elder…

That is exactly the point the trailer seems to represent...

Prediction: Almost every game for the new consoles will be moved or announced to 2015, with the exception of annualized franchises (AC, CoD, FIFA, etc)

Definitely. I would say the movie is overrated in many ways. Technically impressive, good sound edition and fun as a disaster movie, but nothing to write home about in almost any other department. Not based on the amount of nominations it got...

Actually, this movie was pretty close to "art film" based on critical acclaim (just look at all those Oscar nominations). Let me put it this way: if the movie was directed by someone unknown or, (even worst) by someone hated (like Shyamalan or Michael Bay) it would have gone under the radar as "just another…

That is because he superimposed the tweets from Neil Degrasse over his own material (which is always filled with made up BS)

The cinema experience is 90% of the appeal of that movie. I can imagine how watching it in a small screen with stereo sound would feel pretty underscoring.

I would say not making it a cameo reel from the MCU was probably the best Agents of SHIELD has coming for them. In the long run, if most episodes have a shot of the back of Ironman or Captain America just missing Coulson because he walks through a door, it would get old fast...

There are some precedent of completely different studios working on a crossover movie (like Roger Rabbit), but they all worked as a one-time deal. It would mess with their plans, since both of them want to have all their cakes and not compromise in sequels that depend on other people...

Its not like they have a copyright for post credits scenes. They exist in non-MCU after all (like Street Fighter, Daredevil and X3)...

From what I heard, its pretty elegant and functional.

Or it could also be: "we know the former employers of some of our team were mostly greedy leaches that justify their jobs by suing others, and we are saddened that they have so little value to their own work that they exist only to attack the work of others. So, we are disappointed for them, but not particularly…

That is why he also published all his code, so that people could improve on it if they wanted.

Slaves =/= Third world workers, and much as kickstarter =/= stock market.
