I thought sleeping dogs last month was miles better. Sure its old but at least its a great game and a bit of a hidden gem.
I can get crappy dead island for 6.99 if i was some kind of masochist.
They did a lot of this with the gamecube. Like aquiring retro, liscensing out star fox and f zero and even mario in a whole bunch of stuff. Also getting games from sillicon knights and factor5.
I could never get into this one. The combat was annoying and enemies werent very well made. Soundtrack was great though.
@gushasgas
To be fair this isnt even a jab at sony as it applies to the 360 as well. Its a pretty nice deal considering gamestop might give you 45 bucks for a 360.
I dont really care if the companies mess with each other though. Always fun to see the outcome xD
Well there could be a nice balance between powerful hardware and creative hardware. The dreamcast came out too early but it was powerful alongside innovation. And thats sort of what i mean, the gamecube/xbox/ps2 had a lot of the same games because there wasnt much to differentiate the systems. Because the wii was both successful and different, it got a lot of 3rd party games exclusive to that system based on the systems hardware. Thats what made the wii a good console to buy even when it was ...
once all the fanboys and collectors went out and bought the xbone it lost a lot of momentum. MS needs more games coming to entice consumers.
Don't get ahead of yourself... a lot of what was said needs clarification. cheaper games by having fun sounds too good to be true, and i'll believe it when i see it.
it just sounds like a bunch of corporate mumbo jumbo to keep shareholders happy. i was pleased with their future plans for the wii u but this whole QOL thing has me more confused than curious.
People are acting like this doesnt include the 360 too. It's a smart move if you ask me, gamestop would normally give us like 40 bucks for a 360 or ps3.
Vita and wii u dwindling back down :l almost every system has 1 big game coming up that'll tide people over for a bit. Titanfall on xbone, Infamous on PS4...
Lol what does that make you?
they said the public's lack of understanding of the gamepad and their failure to prove its relevance was the wii u's weakness. and i said that too.
Like TW101, which was going to feature nintendo characters?
Yes.
I dont think we need 3 black boxes on the market, but until nintendo makes good use of the gamepad id prefer that over the direction they chose.
They had wii fit u and a few downloadable titles in january, whatever thats worth. Im hoping theres more between dk and mk8 though. Thats 2+ months.
Wow. They better have something between DKC and may.
Edit: most of this really pleases me. He seemed to hint at unified accounts, more gamepad focus, better advertising, etc. but what in hell is he talking about with the last few bullets??
I think it has so much untapped potential that nintendo simply arent utilizing. Get rid of the static map on mario kart 8 and have a rear view mirror... it could add strategy to throwing items backwards. Have a survivor horror game where you have to draw your own map, manage your own inventory. No pause button, the fear is darting your eyes down to look at your map, not like in the old silent hill games where you could hide behind a pause screen to see the map. The fatal frame series was made...
I dont think DKCTF has the oomph to carry sales that long. The one on wii sold well but it didnt exactly make hardware sales skyrocket. I think theyd be wise to release MK8 in mid to late march. But if it takes longer so be it.
This is good. That news gave me a heart attack, it was the nail in iwatas coffin for me. I hope it was mistranslated because marketing to general gamers rather than sporadic casuals is the way to go.
Some people in neogaf are speculating it as a mistranslation saying almost the opposite "targeting children is not enough" to help wii u sales.
I am hoping this is true, and it seems more logical considering they only advertised to kids since launch.
Sony were pretty bad back then. I remember the "120 fps 4D" quote about the ps3 haha
@TheBrit
The point is, if i had wanted this game i wouldve fetches it from the bargain bin its been in since launch. Gears of War, Halo 3, Sleeping Dogs, etc may have been cheap games, but at least they were positively received by critics.
