most rpg's of the next gen look like ass. the ones that do look like a million bucks play like ass. if something would be done somewhere in the middle it would be good. a good rpg doesnt have to have squere money behind it. the og ssrpg is already one of the best looking 2d rpgs ever made imo. imagine that in hd with better animation and evetything still remaining 2d. add the modern day elements of more modern rpgs (the newer elements that dont suck ass) and you could potentially make an awesome rpg. doesnt even have to cost a lot.
in short thats what square missed imo, all their newer rpg's are ass compared to their snes masterpieces. less money for cuctscenes and more in game xtras would make all their games better. their newer titles lack sould or heart, however you wanna name it.
The problem is, one thing is what we would love to see and other one is realistically which game could be made with the actual situation that help them make a profit, and I'm a little scared that with the launch of the 3DS, 2D rpg games will be totally dead
At least comparing with how much money versus how much units sold will had a SamSho 2d game, I will hardly call it a wise move, even though maybe will make enough units solds to work
I know that never will happen, buth an Ikari Warriors FPS could be some crazy idea if SNKP ever wanted to create one FPS, but again, little piggies will fly the day that this gonna happen
About SkyStage, I think that is more a case of SNK trying to launch shoot em ups instead of trying to tease old franchises with new concepts, I'm more sure of this with the announcement of trouble witches, SNK is primarly an arcade company, and shoot em ups are still profitable, so I'm not surprised to see them trying to gain some piece of this market dominated by cave
At least I think that SNK will still do arcades games until a long time, that's the only thing that they always knew how to do.
Well, and that Pseudo Hentai game which is still more popular that a lot of games that SNK has created
