I'd love for whoever's still around that worked on War Zone and Attitude to get to have at a new WWE game...

Dear god no. Those were horrendous. They look alright but everything else from the controls to the collision detection sucked.

If THQ goes under EA needs to get the WWE license and get syn Sophia (formerly Aki) to develop.

Pac-Man in a fighting game? How does that work?

pacman had arms and legs in pacman world or something. prolly that pacman. word on the street is that he'll play like mokujin from tekken, as in - you are randomly given another character's moveset before each round, so it's like playing random but you don't know whose moveset you have until you start doing thangs. pretty fun back in tekken 3.

Isn't Graces (the Wii one) relatively short? I remember bebpo (?) saying it was like 20 to 30 hours. I'll get it if its a relatively brief jrpg/tales game. I dropped Vesperia around 50 to 60 hours because it just got tiring.

Graces F might have more bonus content like that pirate girl or whatever

Hopefully Bad Box Art Mega Man has Dan's moveset and a buster shot that doesn't even reach half screen.

Yeah, it's about 30 not counting the new epilogue which is supposed to be 5-8 hours long. Game is a lot better than Vesperia though.

Yeah, impressions are appreciated. Looks like something I'll gladly get off ebay in a year for $20.

Bebpo · « **Reply #8065 on:** January 19, 2012, 02:44:23 PM »

Honestly, if the game was good it has the potential to be an awesome rpg. I mean the cast is great with tons of cross-over opportunities, the stories are good if it's a mish-mash where you play through the tales of them all like SRW. The sprites aren't bad. So if it has a good battle system, it could turn out to be a great cross-over rpg.

Otoh if the game design is lazy and the battle system is boring and repetitive and dungeons are terrible, it will be a miss.

If I had the time to actually play it and it was cheaper I'd be there day 1. But I'm about 30 games-I-actually-want-to-play backlogged and $100 is a lot for a potential kuso-ge.

Apparently it's directed by the creator/director of Wild Arms 1?

MrAngryFace · « **Reply #8066 on:** January 19, 2012, 02:49:29 PM »

Bebpo · « **Reply #8067 on:** January 19, 2012, 02:53:50 PM »

Real talk: Scryed is the reason to buy that game.

Mr. Gundam · « **Reply #8069 on:** January 19, 2012, 03:53:36 PM »

I'd love a turn-based JRPG SRW title.

And not that Endless Saga stuff. An actual JRPG that uses the licensed mecha titles.

MrAngryFace · « **Reply #8070 on:** January 19, 2012, 03:57:27 PM »

It's not idea factory, it'll be better than cross edge for sure.

I have the feeling it'll somewhere between the quality of the SRW OG Saga rpgs and Namco x Capcom.

Quote from: MrAngryFace on January 19, 2012, 03:41:05 PM

haha no, Slayers is

It's cool, I like Slayers too. In fact, I like every series included except Blood+ (don't care) and Orphan (saw it but don't remember anything about it). Punching people in the face with Kazuma >>>> everything. I wish Scryed had gotten some action games or fighting games when it aired; fits really well with anything involving punching.

MrAngryFace · « **Reply #8072 on:** January 19, 2012, 04:23:37 PM »

It mostly has characters I care about, hell I even liked Rune Soldier as short a run as that was. Sgt frog and hime no thx but whateves, I can easily make an awesome team out of whats offered

Bebpo · « **Reply #8073 on:** January 19, 2012, 04:26:09 PM »

My only worry is that because battles look similar to NxC and OG Saga, that it'll share the same problem as those two games, namely that the battles take forever because you are doing cccccombos to infinity on every single grunt. If the battles are short and quick and even the boss fights are not a grind, I'll be happy.

THQ Outlines Business Strategy of Focusing Exclusively on High-Quality Core Games and Connected Experiences for Key Franchises
Company Exiting the Kids’ Licensed Category

AGOURA HILLS, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--THQ Inc. (NASDAQ: THQI) announced its updated business strategy as the company exits traditional kids’ licensed video games and focuses on its core video game franchises and digital initiatives for the future. The company will continue to build its strong portfolio of core game franchises and align its resources to deliver games on both existing consoles and new and emerging platforms. The company intends to accelerate digital revenues by extending and supporting key console launches, and to create dedicated digital properties for emerging platforms.

“THQ will be a more streamlined organization focused only on our strongest franchises”
.As part of the alignment, THQ is in the process of exiting its relationships with kids’ licensed entertainment companies but will continue to sell certain previously released titles.

“THQ will be a more streamlined organization focused only on our strongest franchises,” said Brian Farrell, President and CEO, THQ. “The success of Saints Row®: The Third™ is an example of what our revised strategy and focus can achieve. We have now shipped 3.8 million units globally and are currently expecting to ship between five and six million units lifetime on this title. Additionally, our robust digital content offerings for this game have resulted in the highest digital revenue of any console title in our history.”

The company’s five internal studios are developing games aligned to several of THQ’s key franchises, including the upcoming launch of UFC® Undisputed™ 3 and Darksiders® II, as well as Company of Heroes, inSANE, Saints Row, Warhammer 40,000, and the new title from Patrice Désilets and his team. The company also continues to work with prominent external development talent on both existing and new franchises. THQ’s goal is to optimize its portfolio for the current generation of consoles and to establish new franchises on the next generation of game devices.

THQ will discuss its new streamlined business model that reflects this strategy in more detail on its third quarter 2012 conference call scheduled for Thursday, February 2, 2012.

You know, when a dev has to hide their gameplay in a quick 5 second montage in the middle of 2 mins of ANIME or CG, it really doesn't show a lot of faith in their HD ANIMATION SPRITES.

I have a feeling Tokitowa is going to look pretty bad in motion.

It's also interesting that the speedrun trophy for it is 15 hours max like in Vesperia. I don't think the original DS game was even 15 hours taking it at a normal pace. So I wonder how much bigger/longer the remake is.
