I don't understand why this is even an argument? Companies, of all sorts, have branding for different sexes. Secondly, generally markering budgets are given out at the begining of the year as seperate division. Nintendo is obviously marketing for direct female market (and that's huge market) that's relatively untapped (no pun intended) that left for tablet and phone gaming. Customers don't always tell you what they want, and sometimes as business you have to reach out and ...
I don't understand why someone who doesn't understand platform games that institute tricky gameplay to add difficulty would review this game? Take, "Sometimes I'd perform a leap of faith during a particularly tricky section only to land on an enemy..." I wonder what this reviewer would have given NES and SNES Mega Mans... 2s? 1s?
@Beastforlifenoob not only does the reviewer never mention it's a causal game, he implies quiet the opposite that if you're no...
I don't think they really have that direction to market too yet. I'm sure that they are convinced still that the causal crowd is where their "market" lies, even though the majority of that crowd has left consoles for tablets and phones. The "free-to-play" experiments they showed is evidence to their direction. You can just tell that they are holding firm that they don't believe in getting into the hard-core/high-tech system race. Whatever their reasons may ...
I hate being right all the time...
Since Mario really doesn't belong on this topic you know literally means that is it fact right? Last I check 256 doesn't equal 300... and of those 300, 29 have only actually been Super Mario titles (including the rpgs)
On point COD will be popular so long as Activision keeps the status quo, meaning no real screw ups and their target audience will eat up these games every year like a Madden, FIFA ect.
I can not wait for this game... between Dying Light, Titanfall, Infamous, DonkeyKong, and this... well, thank god for tax returns.
That video is dizzing... it's amazing the difference a 60fps action game looks like vs the alternative.
Trust me you're not the only one.
Right, maybe not direct characters, but tie-ins to side-stories that leads to later DLC with skins, avatars, who knows. I just feel like they been stuck in that Caccoon universe forever even though it's been only 3 games...
Ugh, I smell the need for greed in DLC referring to Lightning and her pals... seriously SquareEnix let it go.
I'm not really sure why you have all those disagrees... it's simple math and market share. The Xbox360 has been out almost 10yrs and hasn't reached 100mil the PS3 almost 8yrs hasn't reached it either. Not to mention tablets, android consoles, steam, and the eventual apple tv, will take up market share regardless of how core or hardcore gamers feel about them. Will the PS4 reach it, probably, but both, in 6yrs is not something I would bet on.
Unless some drastic price cuts, there is no way both system will reach 100million in six years. PS4, more than likely, given its starting price and momentum out the gate. That being said, both these systems don't operate in a vacuum. Other "cheaper" systems will release and will take pieces of the market ie; Amazon, Apple TV, Steam, and whoever else throws their hate in the ring.
Somehow I imagine food, water, electricty, and a PIP-boy armband being more important than gaming.
I just don't see how they'd port over the controls to a touch screen, especially for platformers without some sort of controller needed. I mean playing MegaMan on the iphone with touch controls is not exactly an enjoyable experience. Nintendo would want to partner either with Apple or Samsung or particular brand to have some quality control over what could possible be used software wise. I just don't see them opening it all up to every smartphone/tablet in the world without som...
Unless they formed over the weekend there's no listing in incorporate listing in North Carolina for an AE Games company. There's an AE mobile games but that's not the same company. This is just angry blogger with too much time on their hands.
You've obviously missed the meaning of psychopath with your little rant there. Your posts on the other hand go hand with the multiple personality disorder commonly referred to as a psychopath as when you respond to a post NOT referring to anything Nintendo you make sense, but when referring to any Nintendo... well, your exhibit A above speaks for itself. Secondly if you could please give me an example of Nintendo owner clamoring for God of War, Infamous, or GT (which are first party tit...
So are COD titles just going to synonymous with sports titles now? You know instead of a team roster change every year, you might get a couple of new guns, and different dessert or war torn city to play in?
I have to imagine the majority of these are indie digital releases. You can't expect that amount of game releases in a years time frame and have great sales numbers attached to it. I mean the releases would canniblize each others sales and no "major" developer wants to see that. I would expect some titles to push to have more a staggered release schedule. But hell good to know there's at least 100 in the pipeline that relatively close to being out.
The "horse armor" has to be one the most infamous pieces of DLC ever lol.
1. Finacial success doesn't not guarantee product success; ie Zune, Vista, Windows 8. While yes, Microsoft "could" market the proverbal hell out of the xbox, it doesn't guarantee it could win back any marketshare.
2. There are "some" games in the works for X1, but this machine, more than others in the past, is Microsoft's trojan horse to the household media center. Just seeing how they built the machine will tell you where their true focus lies and ...
