Assuming Game Freak sticks to its apparent pattern, Pokemon Sword and Shield should have one or two new Eeveelutions. Which one or two of the remaining types would you most like to see? The remaining types are Dragon, Flying, Poison, Rock, Ground, Steel, Fighting, Bug, and Ghost.
Is there a rpg you believe was a victim of being too ambitious technically or narratively when it was made? One that comes to mind to me was the Xenosaga series on PS2. Pitched originally as a 6 part episodic story they wanted to present in full anime visuals and live orchestra soundtrack.
In the end Episode 1 was only half finished and concluded in Episode 2. The visual style changed from anime to more realistic 3D models. And Mitsuda left as composer after Episode 1. There are stories how Namco and producers clashed after Episode 1. Luckily Episode 3 managed to give some resolution and good taste.
2) Which 90’s or 2000’s rpg would you like to see remastered or remade? I keep crossing fingers Square will ressurect Vagrant Story and give Lea Monde and its amazing monsters the full HD treatment it deserves. It was a technical marvel on the PS1 for its time I remember and deserves for a new gen to experience on modern hardware.
What are some games that started out a non series game and then the characters were changed to a known IP? What about the other way around, for instance the up coming Sekiro was initially a tenchu title.
What is the most baffling game that had no business becoming a huge hit that did.
What is a game that probably really under performed based the expectations of it.
And I did ask something similar to his before in a surprise hit.
Pokémon stories are rarely talked about, but which one has your personal favorite story line?
Can you think of certain games that were released really late in a consoles life span? This is potentially because of long localization times?
My favorite BioWare game is still baldurs gate 2. I would think that if there is a true store release it would have to be a package right?
Which game is better kotor 1 or 2? Kotor 1 while more iconic, on a base level kotor 2 had deeper concepts.
By package I meant a collection of games
If you were the head of a video game hardware company and could magically get exclusive rights to one game series other than grand theft auto, which would you choose?
What is the ideal length for an RPG? Obviously, a great game will make a player zip through 100 hours, while a five-hour bad game can feel ten times too long, but what do you as the perfect length developers should aim for? Also, this is under the assumption you’re not having to review them!
What games, despite you thoroughly enjoying them, also massively overstayed their welcome?
