Nothing screams "strong partnership" like announcing zero Wii U games for the year, EA.
There was also an MGS: Twin Snakes + GC bundle.
Warren Spector made a similar comment about Epic Mickey 2 when he was asked if it would be coming to the Wii U.
I really like the Gamepad and the Pro Controller. They are both very comfortable and just feel right.
As much as I would LOVE to see a new Metroid Prime game from Retro, I'm hoping that they are working on a brand new IP at the moment.
Microsoft has no incentive to add online multiplayer to Xbox Live Silver. Their Gold renewals would nosedive immediately. Quite a few people don't care about all the third party apps Microsoft puts behind the Gold paywall. Many use XBLG primarily for gaming. Drop the fee and they stop paying.
The only thing that will force Microsoft's hand is enough people stop paying all together and jump ship to Sony or Nintendo.
What year are you living in, jacksheen? Have you been following Nintendo in any capacity over the last 12 years?
On the N64, Nintendo came out swinging with Mario 64. It was one of the first 3D games to be done competently. The camera worked and the game didn't run at 10 frames per second.
On both the Gamecube and Wii, Nintendo created some of the best looking games available. Super Mario Galaxy looks fantastic considering the hardware it was running on. ...
Oh how quickly we all forget what a console launch period is like.
The Wii was the exception, not the rule. All things considered, the game lineup is fairly thorough compared to recent console launches. Nintendo Directs are offering something Sony and MS are not: a regular stream of news/major announcements throughout the entire year. There's not much to complain about here. It would be great for the Sony/MS to run with this idea as well.
Nintendo could d...
This is one of the most naive posts that I've ever read on N4G.
I'll take the GOTY for $40, Alex.
I think the Wii/Wii U's channel design is pretty efficient for navigation purposes. I just wish it was faster to change the system settings.
The Metro design, to me, adds a lot of fluff that doesn't need to be there. The original 360 dashboard was very efficient.
The XMB is very efficient in design. I just hope they manage to speed it up and make more of it accessible when you're playing a game on the PS4.
This is why some games tell you to go outside at the end of the credits. It's clear these guys don't get that far into the credits. Once that Platinum pops up, it's disc swap time.
This is pee-in-a-jar territory.
We don't know that at all.
They could go the Nintendo route but in all likelihood, they won't. Microsoft wants to own the living room, and like it or not, that means having Blu-Ray.
IF they don't include Blu-Ray they'll be spouting that consumers have moved on to digital content (all while they continue to sell games on discs).
The next Xbox will probably play Blu-Rays though.
If I ever see Pacific Rim the GLaDOS voice will constantly make me think of Portal.
It's actually an improvement over the all-black PS3.
I hope this helps them out a little bit. A lot of people will only give a dollar though.
I think in some sense, next gen NEEDS to be less about bleeding edge tech. If Sony ends up losing a lot of money on each PS4 sold and sales don't explode out the gate, it could really cripple the company- and they aren't exactly in the best shape right now. So hopefully they recognize that fact when they release the PS4.
I can't see MS going for crazy high specs either. The next Xbox will be powerful enough to run Unreal Engine 4 smoothly. I doubt they will go out...
Guess that means they're telling us ahead of time that they're going to be giving another game a 10/10.
