  The problem with his kickstarter is that if the last stretch goal was met, the game became an MMO. That's not exactly the same game.

  Capcom can't even market or distribute their own games. They didn't bother translating Ace Attorney Investigations 2 because the 1st one didn't sell, and it didn't sell because it was simply not possible to find anywhere but online. Reply +3

• The quest for Shadow of the Colossus' last big secret

• 5lectro 02/05/2013

  The thing is, if the team really had made another colossus, they wouldn't have hidden it. You don't hide something that takes so much work/money to create.

  His games have great style, but unfortunately gameplay is the least of the guy's worries.
  
  When you think about it, No more heroes is Shadow of the colossus: a series of boss battles with a bit of padding for perspective.
  
  The problem with No more heroes is that no matter how many collectables, minigames, etc you throw at it, the boss fights weren't very good to begin with. Reply -1

  @kbeam418 "What about people that live in Europe where internet, if I recall correctly, is not very reliable?"
  
  You might be thinking africa.
  
  Anyhoo, the point shouldn't be that the internet may go down, but that consoles don't need to be always connected, at least for basic functionality. It's like requiring your oven to be always connected to the internet so the clock can keep the right time. Reply +1

  "The eSports ambitions of ShootMania may be a step too far, however: fun as it is to play, I can't imagine watching it for any length of time."
  
  Didn't realise watchability was a big concern of the eSports community? Especially in the FPS genre... Reply -8

  Metroid Prime is boring as hell.

  Yeah, those are two different game ideas that should be kickstarted seperately.

  If EA ran a concentration camp, they would accuse complainers of being a vocal minority and point at the thousands of people who clearly loved the shower & oven experience. Reply +2

  It's a shame that Anniversary got so much critical acclaim that CD felt like they needed to go in that direction instead of building on Legend's strengths. Reply -1

  If it has completely region-free backwards compatibility with PS1/2/3, I will purchase it day 1 and become a Sony fanboy.
  
  However, at that price point, there's a chance it has no backwards compatibility whatsoever except for downloads. Reply -1

  I was going to suggest they release these games on virtual console, but then remembered that Nintendo essentially told virtual console users to suck their greasy little takoyaki. Reply -2

  What they, and every other developer needs to do: limit of 1 iteration per franchise per console generation. Builds anticipation, avoids gamer burnout, lets team members work on other games which is better for morale & new ideas, etc... Reply +3

  Completed DQ 9, but it was honestly way too bland to convince me to go any further with the series. Could've been a remake of DQ1 and I wouldn't have been able to tell the difference.
  
  Does this one actually have characters and a vaguely compelling story?
