oh... lol. anyway, if i'm to pay a monthly fee for a game that uses a system that's been used since who-knows-when ancient battle mechanics, doesn't feel worth it.

QUOTE(Cheesenium @ Sep 2 2013, 11:06 AM)
Firstly, the developers are still working with their respective companies like Crytek or Microsoft when they are making the game. And they are only working on this project in their free time for the next 2 years. So, my problem with this is, game developers have notoriously long working hours like 60 to 80 hours a week to the point the developer's wives used to have "clubs" to persuade their husbands to come home each day. Then, after a long week of work, the devs have to work on Project Phoenix after their full time work which I dont think they could cope with the development of another game in their free time. Do you even want to have a second job like Project Phoenix that you work on your free time after your daily work and you wont be getting salary for the next 2 years? Not to forget that all the developers are scattered all around the world which made communications difficult due to different time zone. They arent building a 6 hours RPG but they are building a 50 hours RPG which is absurd with that little money.

Second problem is the goal is way too little, IMO, as 100k is claimed to be used for the 3D models outsourcing. I cant really judge what are they gonna use the money for, but it felt like they deliberately set the goal low to get the game funded quickly as the stretch goals until 1.6 million was announced since day 1. It just felt something's wrong to me, from my experience backing other projects. Most projects do not reveal their stretch goals on day 1, at least the ones i pledged. I pledged a similar project called Void Destroyer that only asking for 30k to do 3D models and a bit of sound asset which is only for a handful of space ships in space. 100k for a 50 hours JRPG is really too little IMO, considering that space game doesnt need any sort of environment done for it.

Lastly, the way they provide updates isnt interesting or hype the backers as they felt like they havent prepared much for the campaign while kept avoiding some simple questions like how gameplay works to how is the story asked by the backers. I am not expecting them to reveal everything though, the problem here is, they dont put confidence among the backers. Not to forget, there are still no lead programmer on the project so how are you going to do the project when you dont have a lead programmer.

Also, the guy who is currently the lead designer for the project, there are rumors saying that he was credited as a QA tester for LA Noire only. I am not doubting on the Japanese but the western developers on the team are very suspicious, IMO.

I backed the project on day 1 but pulled out after a week of underwhelming updates.

Mighty No 9 looks promising on the other hand. They seemed to know how to run the campaign well.

Mighty No.9 seems to be done by a real company where everyone is gathered (from what I can see that is. not interested)
different from project phoenix, they don't seem to be plague by the problems you discussion above.
probably the lead designer just didn't plan that good at the beginning on how to run the campaign. it could maybe because of the communication problem since the dev team is scattered throughout the world.
it could have gone much much better if they had planned better

i'll just keep my fingers crossed since i have planned to backup this project with a friend of mine

honestly, i don't think m'sia avg salary is enough to cope against GST. m'sia mentality = semua naik, gaji jer x naik.....(except civil servant) or should i say our salary increment is not on par with items price hike.

now buy games expansive, upgrade pc also expansive, electricity expansive. guess its  back to SEGA console for me. avoid sales, save $$ rolleyes.gif

console sales number should now increase because of this

console price also will be higher due to weaker MYR. sad.gif n also the games as well.
the best part of PC gaming is " SALES". best part of console is "2ND HAND".

Thats partly why I dont really want to get a PS3 or PS4. If the GTAV PS3 bundle comes to Malaysia, that might change my mind though.

probably the sellers will bring it in since a lot of people wants to play GTA5. just look at the multiplayer!

I wont deny I am fading too.

New games doesnt excite me much.
Getting more and more cynical. 
Hates the new business models with a passion, ie: F2P and IAPs.
Started going back to the old games i used to love.
Decent new gear is expensive, ubah gaya hidup?

Maybe its time to put this down soon. hmm.gif
