And it terrifies me, can’t imagine life without traditional (i.e. not mobile/social) games.

As consumers, we gotta keep voting with our wallets. But the problem is, the gaming industry has grown out of proportion, which means, a much wider audience that simply wants to have their annual footbal game and their annual shooter without actually giving much thought about the processes and tribulations that sustain the whole industry.

This gaming industry expansion was both a blessing and a curse, dare I say.

Unfortunately I do not have the money to sign cheques, so shaking my head and importing is the only viable alternative. Publishers these days…

 Yeah, Capcom is keen on fucking up some of our favorite franchises and just crush our hopes. This comes off as weird and paradoxal for me. I mean….if they really want to turn into a “worldwide” company, then why limit some of their game releases to one territory? By that logic, it means everyone should get their games, in theory.

But you can’t argue with big publishers these days, unless you have large ammounts of money and are ready to sign in some cheques ;)

That made my day, thanks mate. It’s a bloody shame there are no localization plans as this looks about a 100 times more interesting than Lost Planet. But as you said, the foreign barbarians only appreciate games with blood, violence, guns and gore and musclebound macho-heroes. So us chaps, who actually appreciate some fresh new Japanese games have to import and deal with language barriers. Way to go. It was also a great idea to force NT to work with fucking UE3 on a new DMC game instead of the way superior, 60fps-proven MT Framework engine. One great business decision after another.

 They’ve been taking some bad decisions this gen. Others which weren’t so bad (like bringing MH3G over). But that seems to have been a common trend for Japanese publishers this generation. They just don’t know what to do.

…to be honest, it’s perhaps only a matter of time until we see that happening.

haha freaking agree :P

i wonder if they’re gonna fire their MH and Ace Attorney team and just outsource everything western XD

I fucking agree this game looks unique, but no CAPCOM continues to prove themselves as the biggest utter Douchebags in the Video game industry as a whole. No E.X Troopers WTF CAPCOM. 

FUCK YOU CAPCOM. 

PFFFFFF… PERSONA!!

Capcom: NO.

Fans: But…but capcom….! This really looks unique!

Capcom: NO, IT LOOKS TOO JAPANESE FOR YOU AND YOU CAN ONLY HAVE GRITTY LOOKING, HOLLYWOODESQUE VYDIA.

Fans: But we like that stuff. There’s actually a great deal of people who appreciate this artstyle and japanese influence in videogames, there’s always been, you know that, right?

Capcom: That is not correct. We know for a fact that western videogamers are allergic to anything that resembles the japanese culture or anything that’s anime-like.

Fans: But…how…heck, how does that even make any sense?

Capcom: And we’re killing Megaman, btw. We’re also outsourcing your favourite franchises because we now believe that will instantly make our games better.

Fans: But that’s not how it works…how does that even make any sen…aw, forget it. At least we’re getting that Monster Hunter game.

 PE….RU…SO….NA!
