Neither percentage really seems that convinced. And wii-u getting 4% makes the total percentage only 41% of new developers making anything for next gen.

That must mean the remaining devs polled are doing more PC and smart device stuff. So how do these holdouts get convinced to make new IP's for next gen platforms?

UltimateMaster4479d ago (Edited 4479d ago )

If you count it by the number of developer studios VS the number of employees that create games, it would make sense.

A lot of indie studios out there with a lot of them have less than employees, they rack up the numbers pretty fast.

The "bigger" games are mostly made on consoles and PC. Tough, they take much more time to develop.

8gig unified GDDR5 RAM and super powered GPU no weird things like esram or multiple operating systems to contend with. Of course devs are going to love this thing.

H0RSE4479d ago

@mewhy32

"super powered GPU"... yeah, you keep thinking that... The PS4 may be more powerful than the X1, but it's components are far from "super powered."

What does that even mean?! Is it powered by the same arc reactor that powers iron man's suit?

bleedsoe9mm4479d ago

41% combined consoles is pathetic when 51% are doing iphone/ipad and 52% are doing pc/mac
the headline should be :

pc and apple beat consoles in dev survey

The loser of the debate always says the difference is marginal, but they are still the loser. Good luck with that.

LexHazard794479d ago

@ medman, you'll be ok! The only loser here is YOU!! I thought that when I saw the number it was gonna be like 40/50% but when I saw 20-17 I didnt think of it as that big a gap. Btw what debate are you referring to? I dont own a ps4 or xb1! I plan on buying PS4 soon tho!

GamersHeaven4480d ago

Duh superior hardware its a developers dream machine.

GordonKnight4480d ago

I'd like to see the same poll for Japanese developers.

xSHADOWx4480d ago

What so that it can get 99% of the votes? Ahahah

Naga4480d ago

"Nintendo's Wii U lags the furthest behind, with just 4 percent of developers planning to ship their next game for the struggling system."

Ouch.

Baccra174480d ago

Where it rightfully belongs.

Charybdis4480d ago

Nice didn't expect 52% of devs planning to release on pc/mac

They for sure chose the worst way to deal with it

-Foxtrot26d ago

Funny considering Bruce left half way through development and now we get told there was an internal conflict with the story direction.

Makes you think…

HectixRose27d ago

I think it was good decision, if he was still alive, he would have been a mascot just like Kratos, drake and many others. These old dudes gotta die for new characters to take center stage with their own storyline. They keep dragging the emotional baggage into many sequels and eventually the story just turns into absolute shit show.

JEECE27d ago

It was ironic because people complained heavily about the story in the Uncharted games not having sufficient stakes because all the key characters always survived, despite the dangerous situations they were always in. Then ND killed a character in a more serious series and everyone lost their minds. Just shows that people don't always really want the thing they say they want.

CantThinkOfAUsername26d ago

I thought the more common complaint about Uncharted franchise was how the main cast are the good guys acting so nonchalantly while killing hundreds in cold blood (aka the dissonance between gameplay and story cutscenes). They just did it again in Part II.

Soy27d ago

Didn't have to kill him. Just have them part ways or Joel can "retire," whatever.

DarXyde26d ago

I don't think he would necessarily need to become a mascot (and besides, technically, I'd say Ellie is... So regardless, someone was going to be).

From a narrative perspective, I do think it has a similar effect to Ricky dying in Boyz N Da Hood: very likeable character, and you're really motivated to see the get back—in this case, it's more intense because it's an interactive experience. Most people hated Abby, but I get what they were after with portraying the cycle of violence and revenge—unfortunately, the game appears to want to take the side of the bad people.

But I will say that if Joel survived, it does become harder to tell an interesting story. What COULD have happened is an exploration into the rift between Joel and Ellie after the trolley dilemma events of the first game. It could have been interesting to see Abby out for revenge at the same time Ellie hated Joel.

Ashunderfire8626d ago

Sorry just had to say this lol! RICKYYYY!

Man Cuba Gooding Jr was miscast in that movie, but that part was cringey it was sad and funny at the same time man.

Ashunderfire8626d ago (Edited 26d ago )

I understand but the way they went about killing Joel, was poorly executed. Even the show of the Last of Us games tried to improved it, but it was just as bad. Well at least Joel got to know the reason why he had to die, before the death happened in the show. That part gave us the full context, but the game just let it happen with no pay off.

Joel death should have been a midway thing through the story, so we at least get to play him a little more with Ellie. Abby didn’t need to be this Hulk looking woman, but more like the show Abby which is a beater idea in my opinion.

The only ND game that was so disappointing to me I couldn't finish it.

pwnmaster300027d ago

Honestly as much as I loved the game, they could have just not killed him off.
I get it creator vision and all but killing a character that made you millions is just wrong imo. At least have him go down fighting.

Look I know VIII has its issues and all that but how on earth can the do big anniversary events with new artwork and merchandise for VII, IX and X yet VIII got sweet f*** all.

They could have given it something during its 25th anniversary yet all it got was a single Happy Anniversary post on their social media.

solideagle27d ago

they should know that we are OG fans of VIII as it sold truckload as well. not as much as VII or X. I personally didn't like IX but X and VI are my personal fav.

Shadow Hearts 2 covenant is another game I love. I hope one day someone can make remake, I would be delighted

Relientk7726d ago

Final Fantasy VIII is great and you are always the first to defend it in the comments
