Saturday Bosscade - Yatagarasu: Attack on Cataclysm

                          


I've had the pleasure of playing the demo of Yatagarasu, a long time ago while it was still in development. The game while a bit rough around the edges is a pretty solid game which is clearly inspired by Street Fighter III: Third Strike. What I didn't know, however was that the game takes place during WWII. This is likely due to the fact that the demo was purely in Japanese, and unfortunately, I don't know that language, yet. 

Towards the end of the stream, we got into an interesting conversation about companies that think that million dollar sales are considered a "loss", and how incredibly short-sighted it is to overspend and think you're going to hit lofty targets like that.  Square Enix did this with Tomb Raider, Sleeping Dogs, and Hitman: Absolution, DC and Warner Bros also pulled this same thing with Justice League and it's 94 million dollar domestic release. Sure the international sales have finally hit 600 Million, but still it's crazy to think those kind of numbers are considered a loss.

- I'll see you, next Bossfight!
