With this generation and next generation of console gaming, it has occurred to me that many companies are stopping the support of only one system and are jumping to doing multiple platforms. Square Enix's Final Fantasy XV and Kingdom Hearts III are both going be multiple systems, Metal Gear Solid V is going be on multiple systems, the list can go on.
The only company that seems to be able to keep the exclusives is Nintendo as long as they are in the console wars that is, for they own almost all of them, Mario, Donkey Kong, Kirby, etc. etc.


So in this generation, next generation, and future generations of gaming, how important do you think exclusives will become? Will the few "big" exclusives be enough to sell a system, or will it just become a race for who can present the games better?

For me as long as Playstation has most of the RPG's that I want, I feel like I will stick with them, (granted this generation was the first generation I didn't buy all consoles, the Xbox360.) I just feel like Microsoft will cater to the action gamers more, like the FPS people and so on, for those are the companies and games they are seeming to support.

In the end I feel like exclusives will become a bigger deal as more companies stray away from doing just exclusives.

What do you think? Exclusives going to matter more or will it come down to the "better quality" of games like Call of Duty, Metal Gear Solid, and all the others that are multiform. ]]> Rocket Town Bugs Bunny http://www.finalfantasyforums.net/threads/58020-How-important-are-exclusives http://www.finalfantasyforums.net/threads/57995-E3-News?goto=newpost Mon, 10 Jun 2013 17:01:12 GMT So I am making this thread to try and keep E3 stuff in here.

I checked on Amazon, and apparently the games that are available for pre-order are going for £90. In this day and age, are there really that many people who could afford to/are willing to actually pay that much for a single game?

The consoles are going for around £600 each, a couple of hundred more than their predecessors upon their release. That's something that can be managed much easier as that would be (at least it should be) a one-off purchase, and you might be lucky enough come christmas time to get a bundle offer which includes two or three games just for an extra £100. So in that respect, I guess you could say you are getting more value for your money.

But £90 per game? That's more than twice the amount current gen games are sold for upon release. And, if I remember correctly, PS2/Xbox games were about £25-£30 new; about two thirds - three quarters the price of a PS3/360 game. Even Wii U games are around £40 on their release. :hmmm:

So, at those kinds of prices, who here would actually fork out that much for a game on a regular basis? Do you think it would be worth the money? What would you be expecting at these prices?

I can't see myself spending that much on games, even if I could afford it. There are so many other things I would rather buy, and I could probably still spend a few years going through games on previous gen consoles that I want to play. I don't know what to expect at these prices. I'm not the slightest bit convinced it would be worth the money, and I think the only kinds of games I would even consider buying at those sorts of prices would be games that would take weeks or months to complete. (I've been playing Skyrim for a few months now and I'm still not tired of that game.) ]]> Rocket Town The Welsh Paddy http://www.finalfantasyforums.net/threads/57908-£90-per-game! http://www.finalfantasyforums.net/threads/57871-Type-of-games-do-you-play?goto=newpost Thu, 30 May 2013 04:03:16 GMT So maybe I just have been playing games too long or something, but I find myself not finding games that I just really love to play anymore, I am... So maybe I just have been playing games too long or something, but I find myself not finding games that I just really love to play anymore, I am actually going through my backlog of games and kicking it down, and I see the type of games that are really coming out and I realize I don't like Sandbox RPG games or FPS games too much (I do pick up one here and there for fun.)

It made me wonder what type of games did you play when you first really started to game, and what type of games do you really play now? are you more open to the type of genre of games you play? Do you only play a selected few types of genre's?

For me I am very much into RPG's... Well more JRPG's more than RPG's (since that world seems to be tossed out more and more with more games...) When I was younger I also enjoyed JRPG's (basically the games that got me into gaming) I also did play a lot of Platform games, like Mario, and Crash. The JRPGS are what stood out the most though for me.
I do play the hack and slash games like Dynasty Warriors, and pick up a good FPS every now and then, but I really love my JRPG games.


So, what type of games did you use to play when you were younger? What type of games do you play now? ]]> Rocket Town Bugs Bunny http://www.finalfantasyforums.net/threads/57871-Type-of-games-do-you-play
