@xan114 Oh, nonono. Not what I was getting at, sweetcheeks. The article mentions that they ditched the zombies to focus on the multiplayer experience. That is where the rehashing comes in to play, because they already have their multi-player formula down stat. Cute that you misinterpreted that to mean I thought zombies would magically encode themselves though;)
How much development can it possibly take to rehash their multiplayer formula? Are you really trying to tell me they didn't have the production prowess to add zombies?
@thom_maytees When you think of it though, it isn't much different than the collectible figures we had growing up (assuming your older). I think we all need to look at Skylanders as collectible figurines with the bonus of a game to use them in. Kids love that stuff. It isn't a new idea, IBfunkeys did the same thing and so did others I can't remember the names of growing up. Except, Skylanders is actually a good game, which is more than can be said of other game add-ons to collectibles in the past.
I'm tired of seeing the same speculation re-iterated on gaming news feeds. I feel like I've read the same article over-and-over since E3. Nintendo will be releasing the real date this month, probably. Until then, all these writers need to cool their jets.
I love this series' story line, but I'm really struggling to get past the tedium met at the final chapter of FFXIII. People complained about the linearity, but the open-map part of the game is monotonous as all hell. I love the game for its production value and it is fun, but getting through it has been a chore. I've heard FFXIII-2 is better, but I need to get there first!
Anyways, this is good news. I just hope I get around to playing it.
I've actually been waiting for a company to release new discs for an old console. I myself think that's really cool. I'm likely not going to buy this, but I'm glad a dev actually tried it.
If you buy all these items lightly used online (except the hard drive of course) you can get it for 300 US dollars. Not bad if everything comes in good condition.
