So, does this mean we'll get games with Total War's battles and Paradox's... everything else? :eek:

Yes

Total War and Paradox Interactive games together....errr mah gerd! I'm looking forward to what else you have planned. :D

Perhaps there might be changes to some other series, like Assassin's Creed maybe dumping the poorly written present day plot or maybe sticking to being the Prince of Persia spinoff as it was.

I am not sure, I planned for Assassins Creed to be a major IP for Apple

The PS3's comeback in TTL may or may not happen, I havent decided yet, an HD Nintendo system and the wii effect will happen still, just differently than OTL (This will set tablets back a year or two and some other consequences.)

Have them make a game in partnership with 2K/Firaxis, and I'll never get off of my PC :D

Take-Two is with consoles and Nintendo thanks to Sport Game collaboration(the 2K sport series have been pretty profitable, even being Nintendo Exclusive) thus Firaxis still will want a new owner...maybe an alliance with Paradox-Assembly, they easily will dominated strategy games forever.
 
Oh my! Total War+Crusader Kings and Europa Univeralis would cause me to starve to death! Especially if it had sandbox editors at the strategic and tactical levels. It would be a bigger time waster than even Warlords III!

Nice for PC players who would not fell so abandoned ITTL(unlike OTL when microsoft moved pc games to their xbox) and would be interesting other pc games and studios

And Starwarsfan, we're starved for a update, something new to share or give us here?

Nintendo Creates Platinum Games after Clover Studios Shut Down by Capcom​
In early 2005, Capcom decided to shut down Clover Studios. Many of its former members and talent such as Hideki Kamiya were hired by Nintendo to create a new Nintendo Development Group, Platinum Games.

The goal of Platinum Games was to make new IPs based off of completely new characters as well as existing Nintendo IPs.

Their first new series was the "Fierce Deity"

New Nintendo IP, "Fierce Deity"
-Developer Platinum Games
-Status Nintendo First Party
-Spin off of the Legend of Zelda
-Platform: Nintendo Revolution

The base of the game is a prequel to Majora's Mask and set in Terminia and has a play style closer to God of War and Prince of Persia than traditional Zelda.

The main antagonist of the game is the

Nintendo's plans for its next generation console the Revolution was also in full swing. The new console would continue with the pattern from the GameCube and N64 Era of having some of the strongest hardware out of the competition.

They also began plans for an attachment called the Wii, what began as an experiment in Nintendo R&D would by launch be included in all of the units and even Nintendo did not know the potential of its selling power.

wow was a big update(follow several of the other udpates, pretty nice), i know about butterflies but there some niptick about some 'errors' in continuity:

It is Phantasy Star online episode 3, OTL phantasy star online have four episodes until jump to Phantasy Star Universe and Later Phantasy Star Online 2(current one).

It is Xenosaga Trilogy, Monolith soft lose any power over xenogears name and characther when they abandon squaresoft in 1999, thus should be the proper name, Xenosaga who was the trilogy in ps2.

Shemue was made by AM#2(BUT again butterflies, the team would land there when AM#2 was transfered to Namco) plus other, like finish the Fierce Deity Description(nice mad idea,xd)

Nice update anyway, having the revolution in full force rather that was the wii OTL was a nice change, prototype Revolution would have been even much better that wii in every regard.

Nice work as always, waiting for more.XD
 
Did Nintendo manage to get ahold of the Viewtiful Joe franchise?

Hmm... Sonic Galaxy...

Sounds like Sonic Colors meets Super Mario Galaxy. Will it involve taking the fight to Black Doom/dismantling the Black Arms empire?

Not in this game, but I have plans for a Shadow game thats better than OTL.

Super Mario Galaxy wont likely exist in this generation, Sonic Galaxy is basically a combination of Heroes and Mario Galaxy.
 
Game Profile
Shadow's Quest

With the Revolution launching in 2006, most of Nintendo's development groups and studios were focusing on the Dual Game-Boy and the Revolution.

But as always Nintendo knew they had to have a proper "swan song" for the GameCube, in this case it would be Shadow's Quest, a spin off of the popular Sonic franchise. The game centered on the origin of Shadow the Hedgehog and his battle across space to either fight or fight for Black Doom and alien race and featured a dynamic story with several endings.

The game proved to be a major hit and a sequel would be immediately greenlight for the Revolution.

Shadow's Quest would be more edgy than normal Sonic featuring weapons, vehicles and a more serious plot.

So unlike OTL game who is maybe the most infamous bowdlerized example(they tonned down the game to recieved a E10+ rating) maybe the game would be released as intended even with the T rating, nice, and very nice swansong for the gamecube.

Nice post starwarsfan.
 
The PS3 Disaster​
When Sony announced the PS3 would cost $600 at launch, and as time wore on, it became clear that the launch lineup was borderline shovelware with un-optimized ports and sparse first party offerings.

PS3 Launch Titles
Call of Duty 3
Genji: Days of the Blade
Madden NFL 07
NBA 07
Need for Speed: Carbon
Resistance: Fall of Man
Tony Hawk's Project 8
Untold Legends: Dark Kingdom

Due to all of these factors, the PS3 launch would be the worse since the Sega Saturn if not worse than that.
It was truly a devastating blow for Sony, going from a clear number one to the bottom in only a few years.

With Apple buying developers, and Nintendo's aggressive stance, there was little options for partnerships, leading Sony to embrace Electronic Arts for partnerships, but even they seemed like feeble ports. Many started calling the PS3 under powered and overpriced and with a lack of decent software, it seemed to be "dead on arrival".
 
Yeah. The Playstation3 is good, but it's not that good... unless the hardware is somehow better than OTL. Is it?

BTW, What's going on with the former FASA properties? Will we see a MechWarrior 5 or a real Shadowrun game this time around? Say, have the former made by Activision again and the latter done by the folks who brought us Deus Ex or FEAR?

Nintendo Announces Acquisition of Monolith Softr, will be led by Final Fantasy XII Director Yasumi Matsuno​
[/B]

Today, Nintendo announced they were acquiring Monolith Soft that is presumably making a RPG for the Revolution, which we are told is called "Vision Red" a non-linear and will be played in real time.

Rockstar Games Announces Revolution Project: American Twilight​
Nintendo-2K Subsidiary Rockstar announced their next gen project, a new Nintendo IP called "American Twilight" it will be based of an alternative world in which WWI turns into a Second American Civil War, The American Communist Revolution after the massive crackdowns on Leftists after the assasinations of President Wilson and Attorney General Mitchel Palmer.

The game will be an open world shooter/ adventure and will take place across North America including the Confederate States of America, The United Socialist Republic of North America, The Federal States of America, The California Republic and Red and White Mexico.

The main campaign will focus on the American Communists struggle to consolidate power in North America.

The Federal States of America is Canada, parts of New England and sections of loyalists across the Midwest, The United Socialist Republics of America's Capitol is temporaily in Milwauke as Chicago is being purged of the capitalist tyrants influences and loyalists and stretches from New York, to Washington DC to the Great Plains.

The Confederate States of America controls the original areas of the Confederacy plus New Mexico, Oklahoma, as well as Cuba and Puerto Rico and some Mexican Territory.

In the west there are two main powers in the west, the Theocracy of Deseret and the California Republic.
 
Nice an update, after so long(yes i need to update mine, but talk with Rysenkari first)

Well, OTL Matsuno was working in something but later he fall into a sickness and abandon slowly videogame, here he will have a better chance and vision red being a sucessor of matsuno past work will be interesting(without wii, Monolithsoft can handled both Xenoblade and Vision RED, not needed it to make disaster and smash bros).

Interesting that new Rockstar game, better that no suffer OTL fate of Agent(7 year and not idea about the game, even if the PSP have die now) so that game feel like Farcry with Resistance and some of Alternate History, will be interesting to see more

Waiting for more update, those are amazing.
