is that... real? why is it so small? why does it look like it was lifted straight from Killer Instinct? |
Looks more like a McFarlane action figure.

How so? "In high definition" like they re-scanned the sprites along with the backgrounds to larger resolutions. "High definition" as in 480p, the poor man's HD? "High definition" as in "my TV is high def for reals so everything I watch is HD"?
Because. I'm curious.

What would you do with the second 360, now that the hardware is under warranty? |
Combine them to form Devistator, of course. |
I'm pretty sure Devastator is only one Decepticon. Or are you saying Michael Bay is a liar?

The clock is actually set to your computer's time, it seems.
As far as Chrono Trigger DS, goes, if it's a new game entirely, I hope they pull a Chrono Cross and make it have more or less absolutely nothing to do with the SNES game. Chrono Cross gets a lot of hate, and at least some of it is hate it deserves, but it's still one of the best (maybe THE best?) RPGs on a system known for being the high point for RPGs. Narrative-wise, it's a mess, but 40+ crazy characters and a battle system that's actually different from everything else makes it all worth it. |
Why or how would I want this over the version on my GP2X?
You forgot to speculate that it would be completely redone with 3D models. I'm referring to Final Fantasy III DS and Final Fantasy IV DS. Didn't you see how they fucked up Front Mission, Final Fantasy IV, V, VI and VII. And X. Tactics. Dragon Quests. Squeenix should not be allowed near their old games.
Why the fuck shouldn't they fuck around with Chrono?

No, they each got like 15 spin-off titles.
So far... !!

lol @ ffx-2 constituting 15 spin-offs
not that that still has anything to do with spinoffs |
That was hyperbole.
Final Fantasy VII:
Advent Children (feature film)
Before Crisis (cell phone)
Crisis Core (PSP)
Dirge of Cerberus (PS2)
Dirge of Cerberus: Lost Episode (cell phone)
Final Fantasy X:
X-2
Final Fantasy XI:
Rise of the Zilart
Chains of Promathia
Treasures of Aht Urhgan
Wings of the Goddess
Final Fantasy XII:
Revenant Wings (DS)
SO FAR!! There are like three different XIII's in development, and VII's wink-wink remake in the works. In Japan, X and XII also had additional "International" versions with changed/tweaked gameplay features and content. And who will answer for the whoring Squeenix has committed with the Kingdom Hearts games?

| also it makes your comment about redoing the game in 3D completely redundant |
The 3D models/maps/visuals in FF III (and the soon-to-be-released IV) look terrible on the DS. I can't think of one game on the system that actually uses 3D well, especially those two. As remakes, their visuals went from 2D to 3D simply because Squeenix wanted them to. In at least four previous remakes/ports Squeenix has added new quests and additional challenges. Opening CGI videos. Shit like that.
And whatever happened to doing a literal port? By not throwing money at 3D engines, CGI, new orchestral soundtrack and the such, wouldn't it keep the price down and development time shorter? I can't imagine there is anyone that wouldn't buy a game because it's shitty retro graphics are sharp and well-defined with nonexistent load times speeding up the game's pace.
Until otherwise informed, I will just assume the worst of Chrono Trigger DS. In the end, it may have about as much to do with the SNES Chrono Trigger as the GBA's Final Fantasy Tactics Advanced had to do with the PlayStation's Final Fantasy Tactics.

Eh, yeah. It's an MMO, you know? It'd be kind of boring if they didn't release any expansions. :\ |
Episodes, sequels, expansions, it's all the same shade of green in the end.
I was just rattling off games Squeenix churned out for/after Final Fantasy XI. So what if, technically, an expansion is not a sequel because it requires ownership of the previous title. Episodic content, as in Half-Life 2, is the same damn thing. You get so much more of a game which ultimately is just new locations and storyline. No real improvements on the engine or core gameplay.
It might also be interesting that the original game and four expansions were released in the span of 5 years? That one a year and no one is supposed to call them out on this? Blizzard released one expansion for WoW three years after its release. Or what about Lineage II, which releases the same content (new lands/weapons/content) in free packs?

Interesting! I know Lord of the Rings Online does the same as Lineage II, with releasing massive amounts of content in free packs, though their announcement of an "actual" expansion pack for later this year raised some eyebrows.
As far as I recall FFXI enjoyed similar free updates, where content such as weapons, gear, quests and chocobo-racing and -breeding were added. But perhaps it's more a difference in business model that they can get away with releasing new areas in paid-for expansions. I'm honestly curious if this is a East vs. West culture thingy, seeing as micro-transactions are all the rage East whereas here in the West they're literally booed at. :?: |
Western companies do this too. Star Wars Galaxies and Everquest had hundreds of expansion packs between them. Thousands, maybe.
I understand it's all just business. Not only will they milk the core players for $!2 a month, they'll get an additional $30-40 per year. Ultimately I think the goals of expansion packs are to have something to advertise in magazines. So people will come across this new expansion pack and be tempted to either give it a shot or give it another shot to see what's new.
Furthermore! If anyone out there don't see that Blizzard is pulling in $50 million a month easy in pure profits, then you need to have your head examined. There's a reason they are developing three titles right now, as opposed to the old Blizzard that would do one every few years. There's a new Starcraft, WoW and Diablo in the works. It's been ages since two of those titles came out, and I'm glad Blizzard is working on non-MMO titles.
Because paying $50 for a Diablo game and playing that for a year and paying $50 for WoW with another $150 to play it a year are two entirely different things.

I put 72 hours into Earth Defense Force 2017, and still have 11 more missions to beat on Inferno.
