It's WATCH_D0GS::RENEGADE, of course. Sheesh you're making it too easy here.

I failed to care enough about Watch Dogs to remember its real name
Sorry
So yeah, pretend I said WATCH_D0GS::RENEGADE_D0GS

The SMT x Fire Emblem crossover looks like a Hatsune Miku gaiden game.

It looked really bad before and it got way worse with this new trailer
Hahahahahahahahah

Not speaking for SEGA (we don't have the rights to Shenmue anymore anyhow), but chances are very, very high that Sony is feeling out the commitment of the fanbase before sinking the tens of millions it will cost to develop.

Yes, Shenmue 2 cost north of $70 million. IIRC, it barely broke even in sales. It was disastrous for SEGA.

Shenmue is a cult favorite, a critical success but not a commercial one. They did this Kickstarter to see if the fanbase was big enough to warrant production. (That said, I wonder how many fans of Shenmue who would buy it aren't just participating in the Kickstarter...)

What the fuck was that (re: FExSMT)?

Dark Holy Elf · « **Reply #555 on:** June 17, 2015, 01:02:38 AM »

Fates isn't a great name but it certainly beats "if" (Awakening was a super-generic title anyway... actually the series is pretty bad about it on the whole. And the subtitle "Thracia 666" only wishes it could be generic).

SO5 is pretty "wait and see" for me, I have very little trust for trailers when it comes to ARPGs. But I liked SO3 and SO4 are two of the only games in the genre I actually enjoyed so here's hoping.

I also really wonder how they'll handle FF7's bizarre story

That's sorta my question too, as well as its tone and some of the strange scenes. (Obviously disagree about voice acting though.) Hopefully they stay somewhat true to the source material since there's a reason people like that was way more popular than the expanded universe stuff, but we'll see; it'll be difficult to adapt to a super-realistic game for sure. And obviously it'll get lots of hate regardless.

EDIT: Oh my god SMT x Fire Emblem looks (and sounds!) awful. Also did they actually give Sirius's stupid mask to Chrom.

Will they turn Cloud into Terrible Advent Children Badass Cloud? Will the characters scream "NANI!?" when Sephiroth kills Aeris?

"Directed by Tetsuya Nomura."

I dunno man, what do you think?

A 10-second internet search says Nier 2 involves the usual Cavia lunatics. I'm pretty okay with general Nier weirdness & music + someone competent at making action games.

The Duck · « **Reply #558 on:** June 17, 2015, 03:03:45 AM »

Did the same Cavia lunatics do Drakengard 3 because fuck that.

Nier 2 will at least probably have the same composer since s/he is such a strong part of the game's identity.
I do wonder if the crazy Cavia guys are still around helping with this game though. I mean, those Cavia guys that gave us the watchers from Drakengard 1.

Well, Taro Yoko is definitely part of the project (he was the dude dressed as Emil), and he was on Drakengard, Nier, and Drakengard 3 (but NOT Drakengard 2) so even if most of the old Cavia team aren't there he was always kinda the ringleader on the sheer insanity.

Well, yeah, there is that. If Nier 2 sucks, it wouldn't be the first game I'd bought on the basis of "Well Nier was far from perfect but it had some neat ideas and awesome music so maybe they can do something approximately as good again?" which then turned out to be a gigantic honking pile of horseshit. But I figure at the worst we can at least expect the gameplay to be decent this time.

god that smt x fe video doesn't even seem that weird to me anymore i need to get the fuck out of this country

Dark Holy Elf · « **Reply #563 on:** June 17, 2015, 03:52:58 PM »

Honestly the types of games Cavia puts out seem pretty much destined to be "could be anywhere from awesome to terrible" and I'm pretty okay with that; it's nice to see a game developer who isn't concerned with playing it safe (if you want safe, there are many, many other series to go to). So just binding that mix up with "probably has good gameplay" is enough for definite hype from me. Game could obviously still be bad! But it's certainly worth keeping an eye out for ~~if I ever buy a system which can play it~~.

SnowFire · « **Reply #564 on:** June 17, 2015, 09:42:31 PM »

I only made it about 30 seconds into the FE x SMT video before closing the tab, so I'm safe. Mostly.

In other news, post on Facebook from early yesterday from a friend of mine:

-- After Fallout 4, the FFVII Remake and all the other goodies from yesterday, Nintendo doing anything less than announcing a New Metroid will be a disappointment.

His bitter tears... delicious.... Reggie Fils-Aime is an evil genie indeed.

The Duck · « **Reply #565 on:** June 17, 2015, 10:48:16 PM »

Cavia games with the maniacs always tend to be at least interesting but Drakengard 3 was interesting in a way that made me hate Japan.

I totally think they are going to go AC prettyboy Cloud. This will annoy me BUT it will mean that pretty much everything in Midgar will be hilarious.

Dark Holy Elf · « **Reply #567 on:** June 19, 2015, 04:13:49 AM »

Cloud was obviously supposed to be a prettyboy in FF7, just FF7 graphics can make it hard to tell.

Unless you meant they'll rewrite his personality. I suspect they will leave the original Japanese script largely intact (how much they retranslate it for the west is anyone's guess) but we'll see.

There are degrees.

Excal · « **Reply #569 on:** June 19, 2015, 07:15:49 AM »

He was also a pretty boy in Crisis Core, so... yeah. The extended FF7 universe has him looking good before and after the game. I'm not expecting during to be much different.

Things Platinum is making/co-developing:

Nier 2
Star Fox Zero
A Transformers beat-em-up with the G1 voice cast
Scalebound, an XBone exclusive where you punch dragons

This was the best E3.

The terrible anime-ization of Fire Emblem shown in SMTx Fire Emblem has already begun.

The last game was this cool stuff:

New one looks like Hyperdimension Neptunia and that's the worst insult I can think of :
