From The Magic Box:I guess that makes Splatterhouse a good candidate to be on PS2.Quote:
- Namco's CEO Yoichi Haraguchi mentioned that they will concentrate on PlayStation 2 development in 2003. Namco will continue to publish GameCube and Xbox titles, but PlayStation 2 will have a priority when planning new projects.
Hooray for jagged edges. w00t w00t w00t!!1
How the hell is this the least bit shocking? Other than the Triforce board, Namco's been focusing on Sony since 95.
Well, If they put enough attention into it, they can make it jaggie free, like Tekken 4 :)
I'll take gameplay over removing the jaggies, unlike Tekken 4. :pQuote:

Please, don't remind me of Tekken 4. Worst game in the series, by far. I'd rather play Tekken Bowling than that game.
I like Tekken 4!Quote:

Jin has a freaking hoodie, there should be no further speculation on Tekken after that!
Hell, I'm all for the better gameplay, but wouldnt you want to have improved graphics along with great gameplay ;)
I normally only swear in english...
But I'd swear AT a russian if you want to come over some time Despair. :D
Sure thing, my pink floating friend :p

Thats what I get for actually trying to do some work while I'm AT work... :lol:
I kinda figured that you posted in the wrong thread, but it was still pretty funny :p
No disrespect to Namco, but it has been awhile since I played a Namco game that I enjoyed....
Same. As much as I love lightgun games and Ridge Racer, Namco have been pretty stale these last few years.
Certainly true, certainly true... :(Quote:

Well, I still like DTR :p
So far I only enjoyed Klonoa 2(although agreed with Regus that it left me feeling a bit empty, great ending though), and Tekken Tag Tournament.
I still need to pick up RRV but I had hoped they did more multiconsole work especially with the Triforce which has been an absolute waste. What's the use of that type of technology if they aren't going to use the shit for even arcades? Anyways I'll look forward to Xenosaga and some of their other stuff.
Will, Rygar is Tecmo game. Not Namco :p
Otherwise your list is correct.

Oops, time for the edit button!!
Their GBA efforts have been pretty good so far... Tales of the World Narikiri Dungeon 2 and Mr. Driller Ace have been among the best games released last year IMO. I really don't care for the normal arcadey stuff Namco makes though.Quote:

Hey now, let's not forget Smashing Drive, and the only console that didn't come to was PS2........Namco is tricky.......
I wonder how long developers will support the least powerful system out there? As long as there's the large user base? When will the user base decide that the PS2 isn't really the biggest thing out there? When the developers decide to push support for other platforms?
Around and around...
As long as I get my jaggy-free port of Soul Calibur 2 for the Xbox, I couldn't care less which console Namco is focusing on. Nothing else that's come from them has warranted my attention in the last few years and I don't see that changing anytime soon.
As soon as Sony stops kicking Microsoft and Nintendo's asses when it comes to signing exclusives and 3rd party support. I mean, the Xbox's big 'exclusives' this past christmas were Splinter Cell, MGS2 Substance, Shenmue II, Unreal....in other words, things that aren't very exclusive.Quote:

As for the "least powerful" thing, the only people who care are dedicated Gamecube and Xbox fans. The most powerful system has never been the most supported in any generation (N64, Neo Geo, Master System, and so on).
The execs generally decide which console their company's games are going to appear on, not the designers. And the execs don't care if the graphics look 8.3% better by putting the game on Xbox if it'll be playing to 1/10th of the audience. The general public can't even tell the difference - the number of ordinary people who know what a frame rate is or care about anti-aliasing is pretty darn low.
In other words, I wouldn't hold my breath.
