:'(


I don't know about the market being too small, I think the problem is there's usually more flops in this genre than there are successes nowadays, and I'm not even talking about sales, usually the games just either do poorly, or start well and progressively become poor renditions of what their focus was, they're probably just afraid to take the risk but I'm sure it would be better to do that, than to trust the team that made a SOCOM game which flopped with one of your established franchises (Operation Raccoon City) which I heard is doing poorly already.

Why do so many developers think they have chance of taking a slice of the Call of Duty pie?  You can't have the Call of Duty pie, guys.  That pie is not for you.  It's not for anyone.

So, he wants to take the "we want the Call of Duty audience" approach that's ruined countless of other franchises?

Thank god he isn't working on RE6.
He worked on Revelations and people seemed to like that so I dunno? Maybe just keep him away from the main series?

I remember full well they said the exact same thing about Breath of Fire.

Capcom thinks games should only be mainstream. Asses.

Arc System Works is developing "Xblaze" as the first entry in what it refers to as "Adventure Project." The game will be released in winter 2012 for an undisclosed platform.

Xblaze's announcement came during a special stage at today's BlazBlue Continuum Shift 2 national tournament. According to 4Gamer, BlazBlue series producer Toshimichi Mori also revealed that the second entry in the Adventure Project is also in the works. Regarding the BlazBlue series, he said that they hope to soon have a large event for the game, and something will probably be announced there.

You can see the segment of the stage event announcing the game below. The slides refer to Xblaze as "another Blue story," suggesting that it may have some ties to BlazBlue.

Character Designs don't look to hot.

BlazBlue as an action-adventure game? That's what I got out of that, if that's it, it's a bad idea.

Oh man! I love image embedding that doesn't work!

Well, from this article:

Quote
Since Atlus and Arc System Works are working together, 4gamer asked Mori if he would want Atlus to make a BlazBlue RPG. Mori said he would like to make a BlazBlue RPG, but he would want to do it himself rather than give it to Atlus.

At any rate, I'm interested. Arcsys proved that they can develop a good story with BlazBlue so I'll be keeping an eye out for this.

Remember Guilty Gear 2?
You know how BB is supposed to be a spiritual succesor to GG?

.....yeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaaaa.




On a more serious note, these designs do look rather weak. Despite the hints, I don't think these guys are for another Blazblue game, but something else entirely.

It's not like you get all that much for the games or hardware anyhow, I remember when I got my Wii I think they offered me either $1.00 or $5 trade in credits and the majority of games for it (at least here in Canada) usually seem to be under $5 with the majority being like $0.50 from what I remember when I asked a few years back.

Seeing as the same magazine has given Mass Effect 3 a perfect score I wouldn't worry about it too much.  Sure, it's a good game, but far from perfect.

The negative user reviews are based solely on the endings.
