Shin Megami Tensei IV Trailer

Hypest shit ever. Everyone buy a 3DS now. Your system has been chosen for you.

I can't get hype when they didn't even show any gameplay.

Don't get hype over trailers that don't show you shit.

You don't know Megaten all that well if you didn't get hype for that. It's the little things that make all the difference and I caught at least 5 major aspects from that.

1. It's going to be a 3rd person perspective like Nocturne.
2. First time that the main series will have voiceovers and good ones for that matter.
3. Female protagonist?
4. Using remixes of classic tracks.
5. Kaneko reprises his work as the main artist.

But what do you know? You're the one that was excited for that overhyped piece of shit known as Diablo III. How'd that one go?

Gotta love when people make excuses for their shitty games.

I admit I was wrong about Diablo 3. The beta left a good impression on me initially... but then the game comes out, I hear all the problems the game has. I ended up passing on it after a friend of mine sold his account for $200 within 2 weeks of it's release.

But still, there is a huge difference in getting hype over a game you know what it's gonna be or one you got to play, over an anime trailer that tells you nothing with no gameplay shown. I admit, I don't know anything about Shin Megami Tensei, I played Persona 3 once years ago, watched a friend of mine stream part of Persona 4 and I played Persona 4:Arena. That's where my experiences with the series ends.

Honestly, that trailer isn't doing anything for me since I know nothing about the series, shouldn't they be trying to do something to get non-fans or people new to the series into it? Just showing some anime garbage is stupid, and they have NOTHING to show for it. Makes me think of Final Fantasy XIII Versus, lol what a joke that shit is.

Anyways, I still have VF5FS to keep me entertained, and that game was well worth the year of hype I had since last summer. I got TTT2 and DOA5 to play next month and those will prolly be the last games of 2012 I buy. All I bought this year was SCV and VF5FS.

Amazing, isn't it?

Hopefully unlike the rest of the net, those who do want to talk about this won't be so crazy and can tactfully discuss this one.

My opinion so far, as it usually is, is go where the games are. I understand the complaints about a new system to buy just for the game (did so myself with MGS4 on PS3, loved that) due to money, or wondering why it wasn't on a current-gen system period. As things stand now, I'm just glad Nintendo could help fund it, as Sega probably couldn't at the time. It exists, and I'll be able to get it when I'm able. The only bad thing is the wait to get the game, but I've experienced worse waiting, like for any kind of announcement of B2 in production.

They'll just do a Bayonetta 2 Sigma down the road, simmer down.

Maybe. I'd rather have it that way too, but I'd expect the turn-around time to be longer than the time between OG NG on Xbox and Sigma.

Bayonetta 2 will be a Wii U exclusive? Not if $ony and Micro$oft have something to say about it!

Anyone remember House of the Dead: Overkill? No? Well, I can hardly blame you... but for those of you who do remember it, do you remember how it didn't stay a Wii exclusive for long and that the PS3 version had more content in it?

Same thing with Goldeneye 007, except this time around, Microsoft got in on taking away an exclusive from the Wii.

I'm pretty sure these aren't the only incidents of Sony and Microsoft taking away an exclusive from a Nintendo console, and I'm positive that it's not gonna stop here.

Problem with that is, with Sega's money troubles, and committing itself to publishing only 4 surefire moneymakers (Sonic, Total War, Football Manager, and Aliens CM), the rest was digital releases. This left B2 in a space of cancelled limbo since it only made around 1 mil sales total, despite it being a cult classic.

Nintendo offered to foot the bill to finish it, and is now a publisher for it. I've never seen a game that Nintendo put money up for like that end up on a competing system, nor would I expect it. Like a lot of people are saying other places, it seems less like moneyhatting, and much more like SAVING Bayonetta. Nintendo or nothing.

Yeah if Nintendo's the publisher there is no chance they will port it out. There is a chance that Sega or whoever could regain the rights and then port it out though.

See, I didn't know that...

I guess Bayonetta 2 is gonna stay a Wii U exclusive and the Microsoft and Sony fanboys (mostly the Sony ones) are gonna rage for eternity.

I'm a Sega fanboy, and I own nearly all the Sega AND Nintendo consoles. The multi-platforming of this gen is nice, but still limited to PS360 stuff versus Nintendo stuff. All systems had great games. Fanboys who limit themselves, especially those who can afford to buy multiple systems lately, are missing out on some great games. I prefer exclusivity a lot though, especially if it means games take FULL advantage of whatever a system offers.

The annoying thing is Sega wasn't interested about publishing the game, so Platinum had to go to Nintendo and the deal was made.
I know Sega is having some money problems, but c'mon.
