résumé de l'interview de YoshiP par Gamewatch

[Nexxus]

Ah mon agent impérial sur SW TOR me manque, pénétrer mes alliés avec ces grosses seringues c'était cool !

Ce qui manque le plus, c'est le ricanement (qui à été retiré du jeu) lorsqu'on plaquait au sol un joueur

[Evangelus]

Les détails à propos de l'absence de classe ne seront pas révélés

ils veulent dire quoi par là? C'est pour l'instant secret (au moment de l'interview) et on saura a un moment ou a un autre, ou bien ils font direct l'impasse dessus par facilité?

ils veulent dire quoi par là? C'est pour l'instant secret (au moment de l'interview) et on saura a un moment ou a un autre, ou bien ils font direct l'impasse dessus par facilité?

je pense que le mieux est d'attendre decembre ou il feront les dernieres grosses annonces.

[uryell]

Sauf que l'abandon du support PS3 n'arrivera jamais.

si, Yoshida a déja annoncé à la sortie de la PS4 que ça se fera mais pas pour cette extension; ça pourrait se faire lors de la 4.0 si le nombre de joueurs PS3 sera alors minime.

[silentwindfr]

je pense plus qu'il attend que plus de possesseur de ps4 soit sur le marcher, mais je doute qu'avec ce qu'il prevoit pour la 3.0... ils puissent garder la ps3 pour la 4.0... une extension par definition augmente de plus en plus le jeu. et la ps3 vas serieusement deja pas mal souffrir avec la 3.0.... donc.

sans compter qu'il faut pas se leurrer SE a parfaitement compris que les consoles de salons au japon font de moins en moins recette et que leur société a plus a gagner a tabler sur le pc qu'autre chose. bien sur que la ps4 ajoute une part de marché non negligable. mais la PS4 = PC en termes de programation, donc a part faire une interface adapter pour la console le jeu ne leur prendras pas plus de temps a faire.

les joueurs console ca leur permet d'avoir une playerbase plus importante. mais je pense sincerement que la ps3 ne verras jamais la 4.0.


ps: juste comme ca, avant que les joueurs console viennent nous dire que y'as tant de console... je donne juste un liens: ici
qui montre les 10 pays avec le plus de personal computer, a comprendre PC. rien que les etats unis depasse les 300 Million de PC, le japon depasse les 90 Million....
la ps3 depuis sa sortie n'as vendus que 80Millions d'exemplaire (chiffre datant de novembre 2013) a travers le monde, c'est impressionant... mais bon voila quoi.

[uryell]

de toute façon, si la 4.0 arrive dans 2 ans, la PS3 sera limite considérée comme du retro gaming donc fort heureusement SE va s'en détacher, tous les joueurs même les consoleux ne peuvent que s'en réjouir. ça veut dire que le jeu continue à évoluer.

[Dragoniks]

Merci pour la trad !!!

Plus que le darknight moi j'aurai plutot vue un templier comme tank vue qu'Ishgard est dirigé par un archevèque ^^
Jespere que le Samourai sera introduit avec le continent d'orient dont ils arretent pas de parler dans le jeu via un event saisonnier ou d'autre élément.
C'est frustrant de savoir que des choses viennent d'ailleur et qu'on aura jamais la possibilité de visité le continent en question -_-

Le géomancien pourrait être un heal non au lieu du gunner ?

[AltanRapsied]

De toutes façons le meilleur dans tout ça c'est qu'on va enfin avoir UN CENTRE DE DONNEE EUROPEEN BASE EN EUROPE OMFGFTW

[MaouSama]

snip l

Si tu parles de Doma, j'ai l'espoir qu'on visite cette région reculée un jour... croisons les doigts

Sinon le géomancien aurait un gameplay trop complexe dans un MMO, et ça n'a jamais été une classe de heal
