Part man...part beast...full psycho! Posts: 17,366 Group: All Powerful Deity Member #1 Joined: December 30, 2005	Kay G. Radley Mar 29 2013, 03:18 AM COULD IT BE?! Oh god, I really, REALLY hope so. I haven't gotten my Suda fix in eons because Shadows of the Damned wasn't on a Nintendo console or PC and it doesn't look like we're getting Killer is Dead. Hopefully we'll get a port of the latter, but it'd still be nice to revisit Travis Touchdown's story for a more satisfying finale.

BL;DR Posts: 3,493 Group: Elite Member #80 Joined: September 7, 2010	Tomb Raider sells over 3 mil units in retail, is considered a failure by Squeenix. No, that's not a typo - it's a demonstration of exactly what is fucking wrong with AAA business models today.

Fabulous Homosexual Posts: 6,262 Group: Elite Member #59 Joined: November 9, 2009	Uh, they ARE making a FFXIII-3. It's called Lightning Returns: Final Fantasy XIII. And isn't it rather pre-mature for Squeenix to make that call? The game hasn't even been out for a month. Guess they're pulling an EA with Dead Space 3. I don't see what the fuck these execs are smoking. Let's look at it. 2 million copies of a $60 = $120 million. Since game budgets rarely go above $50 million, high-budget games more often than not make money. 3.4 million x 60 (since the game has not dropped in price yet) = over 200 million dollars, I'd call that fucking brilliant. EDIT: IT'S NOT EVEN OUT IN JAPAN YET!! Edited by Arem, Mar 30 2013, 08:32 AM.

It's also pretty amusing that he pointed out Skyrim considering the fact that, y'know, it's set in the bloody medival era and doesn't even have muskets, let alone generic modern firearms.

EDIT: IT'S NOT EVEN OUT IN JAPAN YET!! They could've also bolstered their profits by, oh I dunno, releasing it on the Wii U, considering they have no legit reason not to. Though I'm actually not quite sure how popular a game like Tomb Raider would be in Japan, it'd definitely add to that profit as well. In the end, it seems like these execs not only make bad business calls by blowing off ridiculous amounts of money on a AAA title, as well as hiring an equally ridiculous amount of people to work on it, but they also seem to have some very ludicrous expectations of how well a game should do. It's like a little kid planting a seed in his backyard and throwing a tantrum the next morning when he doesn't see a godamn beanstalk sprouting into the sky.

Fabulous Homosexual Posts: 6,262 Group: Elite Member #59 Joined: November 9, 2009	Quite possibly the best reaction I've seen to that news. It comes out Q 2013 according to Squeenix.

Raining on your parade with a truckload of awkward awesomeness. Posts: 4,950 Group: Elite Member #70 Joined: November 11, 2009	All things considered, I really like the FFXIII universe. Sure, it's not Square Enix's strongest line of Final Fantasy games, but I really enjoyed the first game. Haven't played the sequel, but I'll still be grabbing Lightning Returns day one, regardless.
