Yodariquo said:Oh yeah, and on the third party games. I'm glad you eventually got to it, but if Resident Evil 5 had been Wii exclusive, that would have definitely done it. The reason you can't see any third-party games doing these great sales is that we've come, justifiably so, to expect B-level efforts from third-parties.
The best efforts are niche titles that happen to strike a chord with a concept, not blockbusters. Regardless of preference, that's why you don't see it -- any franchises, even genres, associated with mainstream success get gimped throwaway versions.
Yup that is a big reason. As I said in the podcast, where are the big franchises, and I mean the real versions of those franchises? No one else listen to it?

I did. Really did dig the whole NPD discussion and I was screaming at myself that I had a great point to make, and yet, I couldn't contribute!
Wanted to quickly thank you guys for keeping the podcasts going. I can finally start listening again thanks to a faster broadband connection.
Batman talk, cool. I agree. But on challenge room things, I'm not interested in scoring on leaderboards, so there is no incentive for me to play that really.
FFXIII, 30 hrs before it opens up? I would give up at 10 hrs.
Red Steel 2 talk, level design is not a problem, its never boring. The levels are more like sets to f*** about in. It's like Final Fight, you have your moveset, you beat up enemies in the same way, the scenary changes but you are basically doing the same thing. New enemies are introduced, new weapons and moves. Yet it's always fun and you never really care about there being no puzzles or setpieces.
Endless Ocean is like Okami? Maybe, if Okami was actually good
Charging for game demos? How stupid. I will never pay for a game demo.
Metal Gear 2? I think my eyes will start weeping tears from the title screen on. Because it's a NES game.
All PSP games should be on PS2? I will agree with Dvader just because I want him to be able to play the games he wants without the extra expense.
Dvader I think you need to read the official GAF thread on Red Steel 2 as most impressions there are very positive. If you guys remember when we got our first details on RS2 I said that it's cel-shaded, 4 years late and a motionplus exclusive - all things that go against its commercial viability. Still, I don't see any story on its sales reffering to its motionplus exclusivity.
Monster Hunter sales.
Well the reason I said I don't care about monster hunter tri on GGweekly is because the game is already a million seller, well, just shy of in japan. It's already the best selling home console monster hunter game. It's already a success regardless of its western sales.
Home console MH games have never sold amazingly well and MH games don't sell amazingly well in the west full stop. So my expectations for the game in the west? I don't really have any. It's too hardcore to be a "test". It's not some blockbuster franchise action game that's easy for casuals to get into.
Gears of War story? It's beefy guys manning up to beefy aliens. It's almost like a homoerotic self knowing joke.
It's Top Gun.

You guys are wrong. That's like saying all DS games should come out on WiiWare.

Exactly. All games on the PSP and WiiWare should only be released on PS2 and DS, respectively.

Okay, I only need one more person to fill the shuttle bus to hell -- Do I have any takers?

DS actually does things a console doesn't do. PSP is nothing more than a portable PS2, well with PS3 interface and media options.

Not yet. I still need to catch up on the several podcasts I'm not on!
