How is it a re-skinned Naruto game? I'm not a STORM expert but the battle system looks different. Also the distinctive cel-shading engine has been completely replaced by a new graphics style that mirrors the movie. Plus it's in 3d. If they're re-using some code, good. Japanese programmers are notorious for blowing perfectly good chances to do this.Takao wrote:The fact it's a re-skinned Naruto game should tell you that this is another case of lax effort.
Actually, in Japan, games and movies cost about the same. Trilogy retailed for ¥7,140. But, that said, it's great you brought up Liminality because Liminality was a perfectly good anime that was included with the games basically for free. By normal Japanese pricing, if Liminality had been released standalone each OVA episode would have cost as much as a game, and this would have been considered completely normal by Japanese consumers. Don't ask me why. If you go to a DVD store in Japan it is absolutely mindblowing how expensive everything is and how otaku could ever afford it. But anyway, my point is they've essentially done this before--given away a "full" thing for free. And that was also a game-anime hybrid, at least as much as technology would allow at the time. Same company, so I have some hope. History tells me, blah blah.Sadivinedevil wrote:but then again this entry has a game and a Movie packed together and the bundle costs as much as an average game.
True, but the box outside the box, at least, has a bunch of pictures of characters not in the movie...Takao wrote:But take a look at .hack//Versus. Look at its packaging. Is it in a PS3 case, or a standard Blu-Ray movie case?
Of... the ad? THERE'S A GAME! YOU CAN DO STUFF! ON SALE LATER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Zer0 wrote:*shakes Kuukai violently* Give me a translation!
Might be worth doing a proper translation of the first part, but I'll see about that later... I'll check AIM.
Yeah, I wrote about him on the main page a while back. He works for the NAB. He speaks in Kansai-ben and has a character called Kusame:SSJScygoku wrote:His name is David i'm pretty sure @.@
