[quote=“Pyteo”]Brides? It’s just a business strategy like any other. They pay third parties for exclusives. Exclusives define the identity of the console and that’s the way to go.
Also, what is Microsoft doing with Tomb Raider and Crystal Dynamics right now? Is that what you call a bribe?[/quote]

I have no problem with healthy free market competition.
The point is, Sony doesn’t simply try to make a better product. They outright destroy their competition by any means.
[quote=“Pyteo”]And I will not talk about hardware, don’t want to turn this into a fanboy flame war.
My point was that Sony is indeed the best choice when it comes to revive PD considering their policy and open mind on game diversity, while providing the studios the freedom to create the game they want, mainstream or not. PS3’s catalogue is the proof of it.
You guys keep saying “move on”, “leave it in the past” like we are are taking about an ex girlfriend or something. Jesus Christ, as much as I like PD , it’s just a game.
At the end of the day, you don’t want a new PD game because you’re the ones stuck in the past, taking all this too seriously and afraid that a new game will mess up all the good memories you have.
I would love a new Pd game. Mainstream? I’m ok with it. Why not? All the original PD where aspiring to be mainstream to begin with. Mainstream doesn’t mean Bad.
It’s an amazing Ip. with lots of potential left to explore and it’s a shame to see it collecting dust in the Chest.[/quote]
The PD games weren’t mainstream. They were dark and bleak. The gameplay was certainly accessible to casual players but a mainstream PD would completely change the story.
Suddenly Panzer Dragoon would become a story about how an evil white male emperor is oppressing women and minorities, and if the game is Japanese, then a sexually confused young man who looks like a woman will have to save the world with the power of friendship.
No thanks.
I am perfectly ok with Panzer Dragoon being made for the Playstation 3-4 as long as it respects the source material and has great production values.
Otherwise it’s destined to suck. That doesn’t mean it has to have state of the art photorealistic graphics.
