A big fat, non canon WHAT IF scenario placed in the events of Raccoon City (aka RE2 and RE3)

Basically gonna be dope as fvck. Squad based TPS gameplay, getting overwhelmed by zombies and tyrants and Nemesis along with some new enemies so you gotta move quick and stuff, using teamwork, shoot an enemy to make him bleed to attract zombies (MP). Special abilities for some squad members, you can kill Leon Kennedy, etc.

Totally unorganized thought, but those are some highlights of the top of my head. Personally I'm so stoked.

K, I'll ask another question.

Is it Resident Evil?

Ugh.

No. Not "teh horror Reisdent Evl".

Not even close. If that's what you're after.

However, it is awesome, and it will be fun. Much better shooting mechanics than Re4 and Re5 (not hard to improve here really)

There is no "teh horror" in Resident Evil after experiencing Amnesia

But I still like the gameplay of the series.

If this is L4D in third person then I might be less inclined to buy it.

Now exactly what is this game supposed to be?

Given how disconnected the members of System Wars tend to be from the real world, and how often they deny what's actually happening in the gaming industry, this thread is loaded with irony.

That's the thing though.

Nintendo had to cut the price of the 3DS by about 35%, and take a loss on all hardware sold, to help ensure that the thing sold well. Tell me when the last time was that Nintendo took a loss on their hardware....

Also they're RE-revealing the Wii-U, keyword being RE-reveal, because the original reveal garnered tons of either confused reactions, or outright negative reactions.

There's nothing necessarily wrong with what Pachter said. Despite the success of the DS and Wii the industry has flipped on its head in many different ways. The Wii and DS faced ZERO competition at launch, but the Wii U and 3DS are going to be facing competition from social games, Kinect, smartphone gaming, etc as all those markets cashed in on what the Wii/DS originally made successful.

You're right. The 3DS pulled through, but that success came as a huge blow to Nintendo's revenue. That's what Pachter looks at. He doesn't see it as "Nintendo sold 15 million systems; great success!". He instead sees everything that actually goes on in the industry, and knows the kind of impact Apple, and other makers are having on Nintendo.

Heck, even when Nintendo came out and publicly stated that Apple was the biggest threat to their business people STILL denied that was the truth. That's how disconnected System Wars is from the real world.

We'll see how the Wii U pans out, but like I said Nintendo is having to re-reveal it because their first reveal got them terrible reactions. It's that kind of thing that Pachter is looking at.

It's not that they aren't good at making them.

They just don't make them.

Probably.

I can only imagine Japanese-made games made up for 99% of all software sold on the PSP/DS

Not only that, but the PSP (in particular) was selling terribly in the US for the last few years. Heck, I can't recall the last time Sony even commented on their NA sales for the PSP.

The Vita needs Japanese support like the PSP has.

Why haven't slimes been mentioned?

I don't think I've ever seen an RPG without them.

[QUOTE="fadersdream"]

Not anymore.

It's like Disney World, it used to be cutting edge. Now it's trapped because of what people expect.

Japanese games are held back by nostalgia. They're trapped in that mold and can't seem to get free.

lordlors

Yes, the only type of games they make in the west are games where you kill people.

It's not that they aren't good at making them.

They just don't make them.

Nope, I just like games whether they're Japanese, American, or European.

Each region tends to have its high points, but I wouldn't say any region has titles from every genre that are best-in-class
