IGN - Hypebuster: Nintendo's Next Console

IGN - Will Nintendo bring back the hardcore crowd? Filter out the hype surrounding Nintendo's Project Cafe.

Shok5551d ago

A healthy article, though I tasted a bit of Nintendo-hate, but still healthy nonetheless.

MaxXAttaxX5551d ago (Edited 5551d ago )

First of all, Nintendo needs a new online system.
The friend code stuff needs to go away. A free PSN-like system is all it needs and would easily appeal to the masses and create a community. With their own Nintendo touch of course.

And second, they really need to start focusing more on supporting real games rather than gimmicky games(not to bash all casual games).
Make motion controls secondary and focus on games more.

They can do it. And I hope they do.

Solidestchimp5551d ago

I agree with the online i will not even be buying there next console if they dont sort there online side out it needs a real online like psn/xbl

gii bro5551d ago

Like PSN so it can get hacked? OK

ChickeyCantor5551d ago

"Make motion controls secondary and focus on games more. "

Its what sold the Wii the most, how backwards is your logic?

MaxXAttaxX5551d ago (Edited 5551d ago )

I don't think you understood what I meant.
Motion controls won't have the same impact next-gen, as "analysts" may say and makes sense to a certain extent.

But even if that wasn't true, look at what the casual motion control focus has done for the Wii. Sure, it's a success when it comes to numbers.
But as gamers...walk up to the Wii section of any store. Look at all the games. We really need more core support and more third party games that I can actually take seriously.

"It's also a sticking point with gamers who have since sided with Sony (when their network is up, anyway) and Microsoft for that very reason"

"Sony (when their network is up, anyway)"

Any need IGN

admiralthrawn875551d ago

crap article. though 99% of them are these days. seems like IGN picks their employees from the depths of N4G fanboy hell

Brasi825551d ago

I will sum the article up in one word. Horrible.

jacksonmichael5551d ago

I kind of feel like the same people who complain about friend codes are the people that are causing the trend away from turn-based games... Putting in effort doesn't cause cancer.

Rolling the Dice: Do Modern RPGs Miss the Point of Team-Based Play?

It seems it was long time ago. A bunch of friends spending hours on end playing RPG games, sitting around the table with the box of cold pizza. Excited about the story, listening to the Game Master, they were completely engaged in the worlds only visible to them and their imaginations.

The GM is the programmer, and in MMOs and co-ops, you can play with others. If you want to ONLY use your imagination for the visuals, read a book.

1) Hope they put it on disc this time.
2) Hope this is a positive for Neptune coming over as well.

Demons Souls5878d ago

If so, that's being developed & published by Idea Factory. Compile Heart has nothing to do with it (Thank God for that).

Godmars2905878d ago (Edited 5878d ago )

Thought Compile Heart was one of the companies lending characters.

Was also speaking in general as in regards to a US of Neptune. If these guys are offing a second game, NIS or Atlus, both of whom offer quirkier titles, will put that one out.

@kagon01:
My issue isn't - wholly - with the DL-only option, but the price. The first game should be $30. Maybe $40, and by that I mean $39.99. The only reason its $45 is the 360 disc version which has extras. Nevermind that by all rights its a PS2 game. Something that proabbly could have been done if the devs had the GOW2 engine or tools.

ClownBelt5878d ago

I approve of this god damn message.

Could have gotten my 60 bucks if they just put it on a disc.

Another exclusive damnn the ps3 keeps on rollin wit games awesome ;)

Jack-Pyro5878d ago

Is this a half decent SRPG, porn aside, cause if it is, i might just decide to go and buy it for the 360.

Anon73495878d ago

There's no porn just some sexual innuendos but that's it.

Also it is a great game by itself, maybe not graphically but everything else is top tier.

RedDevils5878d ago

so it had some kind of "top tier" porn story jk

ThanatosDMC5878d ago

Yup, it's a decent game. I just hate that a move has to go first before any attack options.
