Tales of Innocence R? If that is true, w00t :D glad I haven't imported it yet although I did play the demo. Type-0 HD and GTA... also awesome and MHP3 = SALES in Japan.
I shouldn't get too excited though. I should be cautiously optimistic if anything. Reply+4
1) Vesperia won't happen, we have it on the 360, we don't have Graces f
2) Xillia MAY get a director's cut so it's better to wait and see anyway
3) 'Serious' Tales fans? Ahem, most Tales fans that can't speak Japanese would prefer to play it in a language they understand.
4) I'm importing this and I'll probably get the EU version just to support Tales in Europe.
5) Abyss is hard to find, thank god for pre-orders online :D
There, I think that answers most comments including what this article is about. Reply0
grussbarbar: People when they say AAA games would usually think of the ones with the best graphics and had the most money spent on it. I think that's what they are talking about for the most part.
I'd personally prefer your definition of AAA games. Reply0
Innovation and Creativity can happen with Triple A games, it all depends on the developer and if they plan on taking risks or not. It's more "Investors crushing innovation" (or something like that since Investors invest in games and they won't like it if you take a risk and it doesn't pay off)
"Poor sales of Ninja Theory's own Enslaved showed what a risk new IP can be. "
Also Enslaved failed because hardly anyone knew about it. I personally didn't like it but I know quite a few who didn't and couldn't believe that it wasn't well known but I've seen quite a few people say "What?" when asked if they've played Enslaved. It didn't fail because it was a new IP. It failed because hardly anyone knew about it (which makes it funny considering how Namco Bandai expected BIG numbers from it) Reply0
This has been known since the LAST conference call.
Also @ the person who said GW2 was pushed back to 2012. it has never had a release date so it didn't get pushed back. There is still no release date either. The release date is still "When it's done" which could mean november/december or january - march next year.
This is just a conference call with investors, there is nothing new here at all. It's been discussed to death on Guild Wars 2 Guru

They will put up a reveal on their website later today. They confirmed that already last week :) keep an eye on GW2s official website for info and videos on it later today Reply+1
Open betas should have a code that is restricted, that's what closed betas should have, a simple registration set up a week before the open beta where people could register and then log in when the beta goes live would have worked fine I think.
I do look forward to finding out how many subscribers they get within the next two years though, guess we'll find out in due time Reply0
