Um... Omega Force is not making Nioh at all. Team Ninja is. The only thing they have in common is that Koei Tecmo is publishing them.

The problem is: They promised a new version of Mega Man then dropped the ball hard on the one aspect that really matters: gameplay. MN09 feels sloppy and floaty. Its not precise. There’s input lag that is EXTREMELY noticeable. It wants you to be fast and precise, but then actively prevents that by not having tight,…

I feel if the game was coming out this month, it would be worrisome. But since its still the better part of a year away, and Iga’s previous games have been super precise, its worth giving it the benefit of the doubt.

And they will certainly be showing off more as they go.

I backed it in a heartbeat. But the thing with the E3 demo is: the game isn’t scheduled to launch until March of next year (and lets be honest, it’ll likely get delayed).

They haven’t released the demo to backers yet, but from what they have been saying on the kickstarter, the demo was intended to show the engine…

Good news: Comcept is only involved with ReCore from a story and character design perspective. Gameplay and everything else is from Armature, studio made from folks that did Metroid Prime.

Its far from the worse thing about the project at this point. For example, they “sent” out platform selection surveys to backers multiple times, then just recently did so again. Only this last one is the REAL selection. And many people didn’t get the email, or notice of the survey at all, until after it closed.

I had honestly not thought of this comparison and you are 100% correct. Only he’s prequel George Lucas rather than original trilogy and Indiana Jones (original trilogy), when Spielberg and others were involved.

I understand that. And Insomniac is now 3rd party, having created Sunset Overdrive for MS, and a multi-platform Song of the Deep.

To be honest: I only half listen when Kojima talks. Half of what he says is either obfuscation to build hype or just a flat out lie to attempt to deflect fan speculation. After his: “You’ll find out why Quiet wears so little and you’ll change your tune” schtick, to reveal “parasites”, I reevaluated his plot and…

True, but it made just as little sense until the next time they showed it with context. I had forgotten that it was in game though!

I’ve decided to treat this the same as I did the Phantom Pains reveal: I’ll give a shit when there’s gameplay attached. Until then, I’ll file it with all the other ‘pointless video game trailer’ trivia.

My post was in regards to Spider-man, and actually, the same remains true. If it is in regards to X-men characters outside of movie, Marvel holds the rights. Fox holds the rights to Movie versions and movie related merchandise ONLY.

Oh good. I’m not the only person left thinking “What the fuck was that all about?” People seem to be fawning over it because it was Kojima, but frankly, this shouldn’t slide just because its him.

Spider-man MOVIE rights are owned, well actually now co-owned, by Sony. If this was a MOVIE game, fine. Its not, they are clear about that.

Spider-man being exclusive is probably the one announcement that bothers me most. I don’t like the idea of big, multiple media properties being exclusive to anything.

I guess for me their conference felt a little uneven. They went from strong content to “OK... so you are showing a LEGO Star Wars trailer and the big get is that the demo is on PS4 now?” Its not a new IP or a huge get, the game comes out soon and it’s Lego, it doesn’t need a demo. Seemed a little strange to highlight…

I’m not sure I agree. Sony showed interesting product until it veered into VR space for twenty minutes.

Yeah. But they keep showing it but not really talking about. Capy and MS both. I’m starting to wonder if the game is much further behind than expected. I honestly expected them to be the ID showcase this year, with a release date announced.

Well that sucks, but I understand why they didn’t want to mention it on the big stage. Hopefully its early 2017 rather than later!

Yeah, it kind of sucks. I buy some games digital, but the vast majority I buy physical (Amazon’s permanent price reduction for Prime members is a big factor there). I was hoping if they were pushing this they’d do a code that lets you activate the game or something, but I’m guessing the issue comes down to…
