I always thought the name "Big Boss" in the MGS series was pretty goofy, especially since it's presented as an official title in the US military at the end of MGS3. It's funny because the name is really just totally old school NES. "His name is Big Boss, because he is your Boss, and a...
I have to agree that the story was a bit of a disappointment in this game. I wonder if this could be related to the fallout between Konami and Kojima. It's possible the game was overscoped and behind schedule, so there was probably a point where they had to just get the game out, which could also ex...
Ehh, there was nothing too alarming for me in that interview - it seems the game will be scoped according to the budget. I honestly don't mind that we're going to need a Shenmue IV eventually. My hope is SIII will bring the franchise back from the dead so we can get proper publisher support for Shen...
I'm also playing Peace Walker now - just started "Chapter 5", so we'll see how it goes. I agree that it's not at the same level as the other games in the series, but concessions had to be made to design it as a PSP game, so I'm ok with it. Though I guess you can argue against this coming o...
It doesnt really matter if they are alternate accounts. This. And, it's actually not unreasonable anyway- without addons, theres no other way to secure another copy as a gift or future christmas present And businesses really only care about the bottom line anyways. If 1M people buy 2M copies of the...
I think the cinema shorts will be done with new assets through the Unreal 4 engine. Like when a new a season of a show starts it recaps the major events. Now I wouldn't be surprised to see flash backs in Shenmue 3 to events that happened in 1 & 2. It all gets done in engine IMO. I don't see any...
Obviously I would be happy if it 10 million. The reality is I'm glad its at what its at. I really just wanted it to beat bloodstained to atleast show how important it is to the fans. I think its going to be over 6 million. They've said they have outside funds from the kickstarter so I think we get ...
I think the main thing we learned about kickstarter is people (or should I say "the average person") really just want to buy cool shit and get good value for what they pay for. I don't think a more masterful campaign and better social media presence would have made a huge difference. I bel...
Today I upped my one account of $175 to $300, and another $60 account to $80, so $380. The timing couldn't be worse for me because this in-between a bachelor party and a wedding that both required me to fly. I had to rent a tux today and have to give a gift at the wedding tomorrow. I'm not sure I wo...
For me, it was $6M because I think an improved battle system would be awesome. Of course ultimately I want them to have all the moneyz. Give the campaign a little bit of time to settle, then open a Paypal page!
