[Tails 6,692]

Depends on who the developer is, really.

[Gamerazor247 877]

Developers like CyberConnect need to listen to their fans, they're firetrucking up way to much!

But I think developers lately listen to the fans too much, like people are putting petitions for games that are console only to come to PC , like Tom Clancy's the Divison , it was originally coming out for XOne and PS4 but now it's coming out to PC to

if se cared about us we would have kh3 on wii u

[Skai 3,961]

Well, for Square Enix regarding Kingdom Hearts, the answer is Lea being alive.  It isn't a bad thing, just providing an example.

Just enough to give us what we ask for.

[Sora96 17,256]

Depends on the developer and the game.

Square's reason behind this is that Wii U is DirectX10 while PS4 and Xbone are DirectX11 which they're using to create KH3.

[Taeyeon 1,137]

Like others said already it really depends on the developers.... Like, Bungie, or Square.

Isn't DirectX 11 developed by Microsoft, making it so that it only is for Xbox One? While PS4 and WiiU use OpenGL or something like that. Also, did SE really said that? I keep hearing it came from people believing fan comments, and taking them as SE comments.

It depends on the developer, but some of them don't really hear fan feedback and if they do, they do the opposite of what fans want.

It was answered during one of Square's Q&A sessions.http://www.the-magicbox.com/1306/game130611i.shtml

It's hard to answer this without specific developers being mentioned, but overall I'd say too little. The amount of money these developers could get, if they just listened to the main&most popular requests, is unreal.

[WhiteCrow 55]

Depends on the developer. It's good that they listen to fans, but I don't want any fanservice.

[Setrex 1,031]

It the really depends on the developer and the game in question. I find indie developers are more in touch with their fans than the bigger guys are.

actually there is a indie developer that is making a game for the wii u that runs directx11

[Hazimie 1,595]

Depends on the developer and the game itself...

[TripleNipple 308]

I would have said too little, but I remembered that they have a life too.

Then Square Enix needs to get us that Wii U version! *0*

I dunno why Nomura would suggest that if DirectX11 is gonna be used on Wii U too. I mean hell, if he made both FFXV and KH3 for the Wii U, then I'd just buy the games say no to PS4 and Xbone as those two titles are my only reason for getting either console and I already have a Wii U.

[AntonioKHT 449]

Well, depends on the developers, but in genreal, I don't think they páy much attention. Just when it's something that the fanbase REALLy wants, unanimously.

But the great ideas are not something everyone has... If Nomura were to read some ideas people have on this very site, we'd have much greater games! i'm not saying they're all great, but it's just they could pay some more attention to it.

[Shulk 8,623]

Depends on the company. Nintendo's pretty good about this.

 

Square on the other hand needs to pay attention to their fanbase a little more if you ask me. -_-

Yeah seriously. I've been playing the FFXIV beta since Phase 3 and Square Enix has a legitimate forum for feedback and has a Character Creation board. We gave feedback for many new features that would be great. I got the Phase 4 beta that started yesterday and guess what changed, nothing...nothing changed. They had a legitimate forum for our own feedback and listened to none of it. What the hell was the point of the forums if Square wasn't gonna pay attention to any of it at all? D:<

[DJ369 183]

That depends on which developers we're talking about.

[Crisp Cucumber 229]

Like most of the others said, it depends.

[J. Severe 1,137]

They should pay as much as I pay to any given game's fanbase: nothin' at all!

[TheWayToDawn 775]

I have no idea, this is actually the first question I've never answered on this website LOL
