Other games mentioned on their podcast that are going to influence Massive Chalice are X-Com: Enemy Unknown and Fire Emblem. They sound like they're going to make the game less crazy complex than FFT, or at least let the gamer choose how deep they want to make the experience. I appreciate that because FFT overwelmed me the first time I tried to play it.
I clicked buy on the 2K Games page for Ace Patrol (http://www.2kgames.com/#/games/sid-meier-s-ace-patrol/?platform=ios) and it loaded up in iTunes right away. I can't put it on my iPod Touch though, it's now not compatible with anything new even though it's only 4 years old. I am not getting a new one though. I'd rather have an iPad to play these games on, and not the iPad mini. That's just too small for a $400 gaming device.
They're so fun! I watched the video they posted on their kickstarter page (http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/doublefine/double-fines-massive-chalice) and thought of how great it would be to work with those people.
The original Xbox lasted until Summer of 2007, if I remember correctly. Not quite two years after 360 launched. I really hope they go longer than that this time though.
I've seen a few game ads that are comics unto themselves. There were several for DnD and there's one for Bonk's Adventure.
Everyone has been trying to add action to turn-based games. The Final Fantasy games are the most notable. I did think the active time battle system in FFIV was pretty neat, but it's still mostly turn-based, just with a time limit, kinda like speed chess. I've been baffled with the system in FFXII. Why can't they just leave it be. They should make an action game instead of trying to create some crazy hybrid.
I've been an Xbox fan, but now I'm thinking of favoring PS4 this next gen.
I just hope they don't turn off Live for Xbox 360 for a while, because I think I'm going to stick with it for a while. At 499 for Xbox One and 10 a month for live, they've pretty much priced me out of the next generation. I mean, there will have to be some seriously amazing games to get me to spend like that.
I watched my friend play it obsessively when it came out.
Is this My Katamari Octopus?
