Riviera used Demons/Angels to a large degree and still managed to kick some serious ass. If you want and RPG that breaks almost every cliche at one point or another go play Fallout. It even manages to be a sci fi RPG without mechs.

Well.. Fallout isn't a JRPG.

@Meophist: By Knight\Princess, you mean the love part in the games (like Squall & Rinoa in FF VIII)?

And for actual knight and princess setting, there are also some FF games with that (FF IX, FF XII).

And to the Mech things. There are some old sci-fi games that have no Mechs, but the new japanese sci-fi games have Mechs.

Maybe we should stop talking about this, because we're off topic.

Hopefully, the Wii will win the next round. From a business standpoint, anything that curbs the trend toward more powerful (read: expensive to develop on) machines is a good thing. We're fast approaching the point where a game will cost more to build than a blockbuster movie.

I also think that the Wii will be the best one of the 3. Like the DS showed, there are many people who are more interested in innovation and good ideas than in graphics.

And I always like to say this: GOOD GRAPHCS COSTS A LOT OF MONEY!!!

I already have the 360, but i will replace it with the PS3 when out.

Also, to get all the features you get with the premium PS3 will cost $1050.
So in the end, its really cheaper.

XBox needs...

Base Price for Premium X360: $400
2x Hard Drives: $200
5 Year X-boxlive: $250
HD-DVD Player Add-on (Not compatable with games either): $200
Wireless Internet Adapter: $100

TOTAL: $1,150 (plus tax)

But also, it's not Price, or features that make a console better!
It's the "Fun Factor" of the games that are produced on it.

Anywho, I will get the PSTwii package.

EDIT: Also, we are no where NEAR the "Game development cost = Blockbuster movie cost"

Currently a game that takes advantage of ALL advancements in technology, and is perfect to every extent in cost is around $20Mil.

And thats for the uneeded detail that they want just because they can...like for example: "Snakes mustache alone has the same amount of poly's as one of the games soldiers"
First off, why cant they just use a distort map of a texture underneathe Snakes skin Wink

Then also, Why would ANYONE care for that much detail?

Are we gonna soon get so detailed that me map the walls of a pour on someones face?

I'm gonna have to go with the Wii. I mean, something about "599 US Dollars" just doesn't sound right. The PS3 is simply not worth the price. You get slightly better graphics, and a bunch of rehashed games, whereas with the Wii, you get a whole new experience. Of course, the Wii will have its fair share of rehashed games as well, but the majority of games for Wii will be fresh new ideas using the Wiimote. Anyway, with that set aside, there is one thing that Nintendo is doing wrong and is too stubborn to fix: Friend Codes. Seriously, Friend Codes annoy me. They see it as an innovation, I see it as a crappy online system. Seriously, how much work is it to implement screen names and lobbies with chat rooms where you can organize your own game? Hopefully if a Pokemon MMORPG is released for Wii, it won't use friend codes. I guess if I'm primarily playing offline games, it shouldn't bother me. Whatever. Go Nintendo! Surprised

[/quote]I could nearly say the same thing about survival horror games, but I won't, because they must have some sort of positive attribute if Resident Evil 4 was so highly praised.[/quote]

Resident evil 4 bucks the trend of survival horror games. I absolutely detested all the other games in this series, but part 4 is a completely different animal and probably the single best game of last year. You are missing alot by not playing through this entire game. it is AMASING!!

I've played RE 1 & 2. ... somehow only at the beginning you are fighting to survive. Till you find some good weapons. And at the boss fights.
I played RE 4 till you get to that village. And I played that merc mode.

RE4 is quite easy up until that first vilage, a which point it gets really intense really fast. I still remember having baracaded myself in one of the houses, and looking out the window to see someone starting a chainsaw and just thinking that Leon was about to die.
