For sure. The upgradability of a Steam Box will prove paramount to its versatility and viability.
My thoughts exactly.
Fair enough. Steam will have to announce something pretty amazing to distract gamers from Xbox One and PS4.
I'm thinking we'll see those games come as timed exclusives.
Valve is THE Dark Horse.
yet another perfect score.
Rockstar delivers on the hype
Polish will be key.
Musical genius.
For sure. This will definitely help extend the experience even further.
Hmmm. So floaty controls then?
Count me out.
Operative word there being "interesting."
Of course all of the games will make use of it. I've played Wind Waker HD and 3D World, and using the GamePad's features didn't enhance the experiences in any memorable or interesting ways.
It'll be shoehorned in there, but it is totally vestigial.
Heck, even look at what's to come on the Wii U.
Mario Kart 8, Super Mario 3D World, Wind Waker HD, and Super Smash Bros. won't make use of the GamePad in any interesting ways.
Bayonetta 2 definitely doesn't.
I highly doubt Monolith's X will either.
AND to introduce and even cheaper handheld device to recoup losses on Wii U hardware.
AND to offer a hingeless solution so kids don't break it.
AND because 3D isn't required to play any of the games.
AND because most gamers don't bother using the feature anyway.
They may "maintain" that the GamePad is an integral part of the Wii U experience, but the games they have launched (and the ones on the horizon) beg to differ.
Didn't they do that initially with 3D functionality in the 3DS too?
You gotta do what you gotta do.
Glad to hear it is shaping up so nicely.
Haha. I know, right?
A companion canine is all the hotness right now. Lionhead should totally ride that wave.
Oh man, I hadn't even thought of a Metroid game by Platinum. That would be crazy awesome!
very insightful......
