Wasn't the original design idea:
"OK guys lets take Johnny Knoxville..."
"Right, then what?"
"I don't know! Do I have to do everything?!? Put him in a forrest and have him chase after some treasure or something."
Currently people in Japan seem to prefer to play with the others in the room as opposed to somewhere out there. Online multiplayer is therefore not really a seller. Offline multiplayer on the other hand... But where do you find that in this day and age?
Will this cause any real change though, or will this mean that in a few years Dagens Nyheter will be closed down due to a sudden and unsubstantiated loss of readership?
Hulk was so much fun though not so well rated. I think I'll have to give this a go whatever people say about it.
Useful you can have, so long as Ninty can make money out of it. Otherwise you're out of luck.
Is 2 Mbps enough now? With the exponential rate of increase of sizes of things as simple as web pages how useful will 2 Mbps be by 2012?
Unfortunately games in stores have a short shelf life and generally only hang about when it is possible to charge near a full price for them. Perhaps if a publisher was able to recognize that they had not made a stellar title but that it was fun and could be priced accordingly (there is a system like this in Japan by the way) and if they could hang around long enough for word of mouth to allow something to be recommended then more experimentation would be apparent.
As it is game sales ...
Ouch
It's because what ever the time or place.
Bustin' makes us feel good!
A disagree for being disappointed that it's not going to be released outside of Japan? This place is haunted.
Well that knowledge will save me a fiver.
What a short sighted list.
Booo! Get a haircut!
My favourite is the last line.
'Although forensic tests were not conducted, it was more than likely they were ecstasy pills.'
If it had come from Cooking Mama do you think they would have concluded that it was valium?
The upcoming addition of offline multiplayer will make it the game of choice for stoners for years to come.
I thought I had read a report in which it was said the Sweden was refusing to follow this law. As the legislation wasn't put through as a law and order issue not everyone had to agree to it but conversely not every member state had to follow it either.
I read another article recently which stated that the UK was second country in a table of amount of internet traffic going through it. This data can also be watched. It was in New Scientist either this week or the last if anyone is inter...
Unlike with film and music titles don't have a tendency to hang around. It will probably change. It wasn't long ago when a Prodigy CD was over £15 here but a few shops and online retailers started selling broader ranges of older CDs at reasonable prices and it all crashed. Now you get a fair few CDs for a fiver being the norm including stuff that isn't chart material.
Prodigy of course became a chart act which makes rehashes of it's own material and are no longer really worth list...
In a way it is different like the rock bands but all the extras in v2 and even v3 were patched in as soon as I connected to the internet. I would say that the volumes are all really just solid state download tracks.
I can imagine a few engineers in each company working on a new console just as soon as the last one is released. Starting with things which were too expensive or not technologically sound enough to put in the last one and then see where you can take things.
Even so once they annoy the establishment these things tend to get bought out, have their editorial staff replaced and get put to pasture as soon as no one is looking.
