Who here has said the series should be 3D? Those sprites don't even look as good as Final Fantasy Tactics. They're just plain ugly.
Your puling shit out of your ass again jer, like me explain the situation you stupid troll. PS3 is also $400 now, so it isn't that expensive. And as for Japan, they're getting PS3 for even less.
Madden has actually sold pretty good on PS3. Stuntman came late to PS3. Btw, if you look at the Madden commercials, you can't even tell there's a PS3 version due to a tiny PS3 logo and so on.
PS3 is just now hitting 360's top end launch price, a year later, for their most basic unit, and the system isn't "that expensive"? I guess those things are relative, but honestly. Whose fault is it that PS3 titles show up late, or inferior to other versions?
Only the ignorant hide behind name calling to marginalize others' opinions. Keep on living in your hole, Mana.
NIS is loyal to Sony, that's why this game is ending up on PS3. You just want it for Wii/PS2 since you'll never buy a PS3 anyway because you aren't a real gamer. PS2 will be phased out throughout 2008 anyway, so it makes no sense to even bring it to PS2 anyway.
Their loyalty is going to cost them plenty as this is going to bomb. I laughed and laughed at your point about not being a real gamer because I don't want an overpriced box I'd play nothing on. Who the
gives a flying
about what a real gamer is? Kids, obviously.
The PS2 is still the most viable platform at the moment for budget and niche developers, like NIS. Just because it'll be "phased out" doesn't mean those systems stop working, or people stop buying games for them.
If Sony was smart, they'd keep on marketing the PS2 as it's making them a
ton more money than the PS3 is right now. The PS2 could last through 2010 if Sony really wanted it to. Instead they're going their typical arrogant way and removing PS2 BC to "encourage" PS3 title sales.
Face it, you'll be forced to buy a PS3 one day anyway. The game shouldn't even be on Wii because the Wii-mote = disgusting for an SRPG like this. This game is better for a console with an original controller, that's why it's coming to PS3. Forget 360, because Idea Factory's RPG and Far East of Eden Ziria didn't even break 2k copies sold in Japan.
I will buy a PS3 for $100 in 6 years and feel good about it, just like I bought my PS2 slim a year ago for $50. Staying one generation behind in one hardware maker seems rational enough, doesn't it? Besides, the way the system has been dropping in price, I'd say anybody is crazy to buy it before MGS4. By then maybe a $300 unit will be out.
How many buttons does Disgaea use? Cancel and Confirm? Does anybody use analog? Remote only controls would work fine for this game. 360 wasn't even an option. PS2, PSP, or Wii, or downloadable is where Disgaea 3 belongs, and where Disgaea 4 will be after this fails.
Graphics don't always matter. There are plenty of impressive looking PS3 games, but does EVERY single game have to be impressive, no. I bet you bought a few crappy PS2 ports which are just high res on 360, since you just love sleeping with MS. NIS is all about 2D graphics and that's what they'll stick to. People barely cared about the graphics on PS2 (when they looked like PS1 graphics), so why will people care now?
Maybe because they paid anywhere up to $600 for this console and this has been done twice before looking exactly the same? The first disgaea had charm, the second was tolerable, but fool me three times..
Your point about graphics not mattering would sell a lot better on a $130 PS2 and a $250 Wii where graphics actually don't matter to that console owner. I'm surprised Sony even wants this out on PS3, what with how much they hate 2D and their emphasis on the Cell.
That was my point about up-rezzed 360 ports. You complain about that but feel okay with this?
I don't sleep with MS, Nintendo gets in on the action too! I just don't sleep with overpriced, attention whore bichiz.
You are SO WRONG about the Japanese market you seem to assume it's exactly the same as the US. one.
The "hardcore" gaming demographic is even more dead in japan than it is here. Look at the weekly sales numbers. Nintendo. Owns. Japan. On Wii this game would have a fighting chance, on PS3 it's doomed. PS2 was different, it had such a huge userbase to work with. This move by NIS is basically like announcing a gamecube exclusive SRPG back in 2003.
I said it before, NIS is low budget (there are many low budget devs in Japan, list Gust, Idea Factory, Takuyo, etc.). They will continue making the same games they do, but on newer consoles.
Either buy a PS3 if you want this game or just STFU and get out of this thread.
It will take FAR more than an uninspired PS2 game on blu ray to get me to even look at PS3 with anything but derision. Being a SRPG fan I certainly am allowed to refute my point that NIS are lazy developers that use the "old school" thing to make garbage like this acceptable. Maybe if you had some standards instead of blindly taking whatever meager offerings appear on PS3, you'd see that too.
"making the same game on a new console" is not sufficient. If this comes out at $30 or they take the rational way of making it downloadable rather than inflating the price by putting it in a box, then it's less insulting. Just because you have low expectations doesn't mean we all do. You can't argue that a high res, hand drawn sprite based Disgaea wouldn't be preferable to this blurry garbage.
