Apparently NoA may consider Xenoblade's reception in Europe in bringing the game to NA

From Reggie:

"Certainly if there are business opportunities and positive consumer uptake from some of those titles, that will be great data for us to consider as we look at what to do with these titles."

Hey all this is Bartz btw.

Assassin's Creed Relevations multiplayer beta is timed exclusive for PSN. Betas -- the new exclusive.

"An Assassin's Creed: Revelations multiplayer beta will kick off on September 3 exclusively on the PS3, available in the first week only to PlayStation Plus and UPlay members. According to Ubisoft, nine characters will be available in the beta across three maps, with four gameplay modes each. You'll find them all listed after the break and depicted visually in the gallery below."

It seems like betas are becoming more and more popular. Of course they are going to use them for marketing tie-ins.

Wonder why XBL is missing out on all these timed exclusives even though people have to pay for the damn service.

type-0 demo is out. it sounds like the camera is game-breakingly bad. that game -- and most recent PSP games -- need dual analog so damn bad. it better come out on Vita.

Uh, what about BBS and stuff?

The camera can't be that bad just because of the lack of dual-sticks.

from what I've seen, this looks and feels miserable if you've played BBS. I wish PSP devs would just go back to l/r instead of the d-pad.

Isn't it an option to have camera control be used by L/R or something else in KH games these days?

Sounds like Jonathan Blow isn't such a big fan of Xbox Live Arcade.

http://www.gamasutra.com/view/news/36440/Interview_Jonathan_Blow__Xbox_Live_Arcade_A_Pain_In_The_Ass_For_Indies.php

"Gamasutra speaks to the iconoclastic indie developer about his feelings about digital distribution -- and he has some choice words about Microsoft's service, arguing that competitors like Steam and iOS are simpler for developers to deal with."

"Blow has estimated the budget of his upcoming game The Witness at $2 million, and he says that -- despite Braid being iconic to the Xbox Live Arcade service -- he doesn't necessarily need Microsoft to make his money back."

"There's no need to" sign a platform-exclusive contract with anyone, he says. "If the goal is to make that $2 million, not only is that kind of a safe target, but because the game's 3D and whatnot, I'm pretty sure we could make that back just off Steam and the iPad safely. Like, it's not even a gamble to say that," he told Gamasutra."

The Witness' platform plans are up in the air. According to official press materials distributed to Gamasutra, they are "To be decided. At launch, at least PC and one console. Others later."

"Exclusivity, then, gives him pause, but that's not the major issue with Microsoft. "I think the thing that they don't understand -- between that and the cert stuff that they do -- they just kind of make themselves a pain in the ass. For a big game, for a triple-A game that costs 60 bucks, and has a giant budget and all these people working on it, the amount extra that that pain in the ass adds is not that much," Blow said."

"But if you make an XBLA game, the amount of bull**** that adds is gigantic. It can take a third to a half of the effort required to build your game, in some cases, and I don't think that they understand that. I don't think that they understand that, at least for that size of game, they're competing very heavily with Steam and iOS for developer mindshare."

"I can live a comfortable life, and just put my game on Steam without that much of a hassle, or I can have the XBLA business people dick me around and give me ass (what a word to censor) contracts that I need to spend three months negotiating back to somewhere reasonable, that they knew," said Blow. "And then have all these arguments with them and go through this horrible cert process. It's like, at some point, the question 'Why should I do that?' arises."

I missed the news that SE think bringing back random encounters is what fans want in FFXIII-2. Hmm....

Motomu Toriyama: In the original the monsters were placed in the field for players to see and this led to a style of play that was very clinical and strategic, with the player being able to make preparations for every battle and calmly deal with things in order. We changed the lead up into battle for FFXIII-2 to make it so that the player will have a feeling of tension and anticipation from never knowing when an enemy might jump out and attack, and to emphasise a more active play style where the player will proactively move to attack enemies once they are discovered. Even though these are classic random encounters they are done using new visuals that are only possible on an HD console. There are also monsters that will appear in the field as well so you can think of these developments as having improved this area overall from the original.

Guy is still thinking random battles should be filled with tension. Wtf is he smoking? I want that **** to be over as soon as possible so I can move along in the story. Only boss battles should have tension.

They made a sequel to a good game, I don't think too many people loved after-years.

It has an EXP-based level-up system, a world map, chocobo-riding, the "Victory Fanfare", controllable airships and towns.

I'd say it is.

They haven't even confirmed that it's getting a Western release, although I'd say the odds are fairly high.
