Good memories.
It's curious how one gets used to the upgrade in visual and auditory fidelity over time.
When I look back from todays point of view, it's hard to believe we had so much fun with those "simple" games ...
... lol ... okey ... lets call it "click fishing".
Look it's like saying there is a "best book ever written" or a "best film ever made" or the "best music ever released". It's just a very limited point of view. Maybe "ONE of the best" - I could live with that.
But the headline is clearly fishing for clicks.
Don't get me wrong: it's a great game and it deserves all the praise it ge...
A milestone for its genre - Yes. Will I play it sometime this year: of course.
But "Best game ever" ... Common, that's just a stupid "click bait" statement: just with a positive spin.
And you guys know it.
Depends on which side of the machine gun you are ... ; )
Edit: And you are right of course, WW1 wouldn't work well for a multiplayer shooter.
Could still be everything from WW1, WW2, modern, vietnam, cyberpunk, high tech future, apocalyptic alternative world, alien invasion ...
And people forget, that in a singleplayer campaign "flash back" missions to WW1/2 would be possible.
I wouldn't rule out anything right now.
Lol ... same here.
For a very short time COD got my interest. ; )
This whole thread is so out of context: from headline to user comments.
It's about the fiscal year (ending march 2017). They expect lower WiiU sales obviously and think that the release of the NX will compensate for that. So basically they want to sell 2 Million units in the first weeks of launch - which is not unreasonable, nor cocky.
Financial Results Briefing ... propably aimed at shareholders and similar interested partys
If people would actually bother to read the Q/A ...
They estimate WiiU sales to be around 800.000 units till the end of the fiscal year March 2017.
Which means a drop of 2.4 Million units from the previous year. They want the NX to compensate for MOST of it.
So they exspect NX to sell around 2 Million times at release. That's not unreasonable imo.

"We want consumers to continue to play this game system for many years, so we believe that in the beginning it is most important to make sure that everything is in order at launch. In that sense, our approach is that we should wait until we can provide a fully realized experience rather than rushing to launch in the holiday season, and this approach has not changed," /Kimishima
Sounds reasonable enough ...
If some people would dial it down a bit, we might find some common ground between "total fail" and "best launch ever". Both are extreme and since we've got no information what so ever, also pure speculation. Just sayin'.
I am sure they thought about it - and had way better informations than we all together.
Might be strategic market decission, might be technical difficulties, might be information about their competition we do not have yet, that scared them away from an early release, might be a shortage in software ready for this fall/winter.
Imo they should take their time to make it a proper launch instead of rushing it.
I am curious about what they are cooking up for u...
560 employees in 2014 (if you can trust wiki).
Not sure how that compares to other bigger studios.
They might loose indies, they might also gain support by VR developers.
I think the latter might be the reasoning behind the (allegedly) specs upgrade.
Be it complex or simple: It is more work involved with no compensation.
Same playstation playerbase = same sales, but optimization for two platforms.
I personally don't think that this will be of any concern for medium sized studios and above, but it might be a hurdle for smaller developement teams.
Me too. But I guess we are part of a minority.
BF2142 was the most balanced and tactical entry imo.
Well, they did a pretty solid job patching BF4 up. And Battlefront seemed well polished from the start. So there is hope ...
If playing a videogame for a few dozen hours makes you sad, searching for another hobby that lifts your spirit might be an option - just sayin'.
WW1 rumours are strong. But could also just be a story "flashback" mission ppl (allegedly) saw ...
Looks really fresh.
I am extremly curious for the reveal now.
