How many mech games does this make?

Why am i left thinking if this was a sony console the released shots would do a better job of showing off the game :) Its as if some developers want to make the 360 look weaker compared to the ps3 so they can make that much more when the ps3 is out and say HEY LOOK WE CAN DO THIS NOW we couldn't do it on the 360 buy buy buy. Looking at usa developers and then certain japanese developers (besides the ones Microsoft paid) the games just don't look like effort has been put it in at all.

Well in this game's defense it DOES look alot better in motion, but the fact still remains the new shots for the game released are just god awful I'm left thinking they could pull this off on the original xbox.

Some developers have no clue when it comes to PR. Why release crappy, and clearly early, screen shots? It does not help them at all.

The fact of the matter is, some of these "household name" Japanese developers that everyone thinks are so important regularly release crap games - the fact of the matter is, there are like 4 guys in japan (bet you can name them) that are worth a damn when it comes to development - otherwise - trash (Can you say Koei announces DW6 through 50?)

I agree because they're Japanese doesn't mean they are all talented. As a matter of fact US and EU developer are just as good or better in some instances. At least now I can say that a few years ago I would've had my doubts. Hey opta have you seen this article //www.x360central.com/?n=582 I know you problably know it by heart but it's still a good read.

well I have to agree there most of the japanese games release do tend to suck except the ones coming from the big names like kojima, sakaguchi, Itagaki, square enix, capcom teams that work on devil may cry, resident evil are usually the ones that release the good stuff there are couple others I'm leaving out as well. In general sure there are many talented developers out there, but the number of bad games far outnumber the elite good ones.

At any rate even bad japanese games is a step up for the 360 because sony consoles have been getting tons of crappy japanese games then some elite ones for years and the 360 is finally starting to get alot of the crap that will no doubt see life on the ps3 as well, but atleast we are assured there are elite titles on the horizon :)
