Written in the S.T.A.R.S.: Capcom dreams of CoD fans playing Resident Evil

Jan 20th 2012 9:10PM (Joystiq)
If Resident Evil 4 was initially sold on the PS2, it would have sold more than Resident Evil 5.

Amy to launch next week with a mysterious price structure

Two target markets, two price points. Price discrimination happens in every industry. This is just another form of it. It may be a little too bold if it results in a backlash from gamers though.

FEAR 3 video shows off some high-powered sound recording

I doubt that. There are companies that will record stock audio from multiple mics and endless array of guns then they license out the library of sounds to developers for a small fee and then those developers tweak the sounds to the way they see fit for their game.

However some developers probably feel that it adds to the authenticity to have their own sound. Not just the end product but as an experience for the sound guys to actually know what it sounds and feels like when those guns are shot in real life. It's probably good for morale and gets them in the mood to be excited to work and keeps things fun. It also helps to keep people that love what they do working for you because you give them the freedom to do what they love. It's not free but I doubt it costs them that much money. And now it's become a good PR tool. Wins all around.

Infinity Ward suit against Activision going to trial

But more people do like it than any other game in the history of video games.
I don't understand what theoretical video game you want them to make. It's not like the Call of Duty games aren't polished. They are highly polished. They don't need more time to be developed. You want them to change the game? Why not just play a different game? I don't understand the complaining about an annual Call of Duty. I understand people complaining about Resident Evil games which have completely changed the franchise, but why complain about a franchise that stays true to itself? If you are bored of it then that's what other games are for but Activison's job is to appeal to those people that still want Call of Duty games not people that want something new, because something new can be developed by anyone.

Call of Duty games are the best value for $60 for any FPS game. If you don't like the multiplayer you can play single player, if you don't like the single player you can play Zombies, if you don't like playing alone you can play co-op, if you don't feel like playing a FPS you can play a top down zombie shooter. That's not to mention the 50 different game types on multiplayer that you can play. What other games offer that much to do?

I don't understand why people hate Kotick. People want to play Call of Duty, so they release a new one every year to fill that demand. It's what people want! What would be the advantage of not releasing one every year? Who would be happier? Because a 5 year release cycle really improved the quality of the Final Fantasy games?

Amongst Thieves + A Crack in Time = Thieves in Time.

Surely this was on purpose right??

He's done other videos with the same sort of humor through out the year. Doubt he wasn't excited to do this one either.

Yakuza Days of End and Tokyo Jungle are also announced PS3 exclusives I believe.
