Couldn't this have been changed via firmware?
I agree. Zelda looks like the most interesting thing they've done in awhile (and fingers crossed that the NX version looks a good bit better than the Wii U version). I really hope they are smart on price too with the NX. What with the whole Neo/Scorpio situation, there's a real possibility that when NX launches in 2017, you'll be able to get a standard PS4/XONE for under $250 (maybe even with a game or two). If the NX Zelda bundle is $350+, I'm not sure how well that's goi...
Seriously. If the console seems more like a toy (I don't mean that in a bad way), it needs to be priced accordingly. They probably could have sold a lot of Wii Us at that price at one point (Maybe 2014ish) to Xbox/PS4 users as a second console. But priced anywhere close to those two (and viewed as an alternative), it was going to lose out almost all the time.
Unfortunately, unlike Sony with the PS3, Nintendo didn't realize after launch that things weren't going well and act on that. Sony cut the price of the PS3 massively, brought out a slim version, made efforts to reach out to third parties like valve who were having trouble developing on the system, brought out great exclusives like Uncharted 2, etc, and by the end of the gen, ended up with one of the best selling consoles of all time, even though it wasn't as strong as the PS1 or P...
I wouldn't even bother arguing with the people who keep comparing console updates to phone upgrades. If they can't see the difference at this point, it's a result of willful blindness.
People keep saying that the updates are necessary to keep up with PC, VR, etc, but in the next sentence say that no one will be left behind and that all the same games will be on the old versions. Yet only one of these things can really be true.
Saying they have 11 billion in net assets doesn't mean they have Scrooge McDuck vault filled with cash that they are willing to lose all of before they "call it a day." Companies don't save up money so they can lose it year after year until their value is zero.
Considering the number of Xbox ones out there (20-25 million, I'm estimating), this is a pretty niche product at 1 million.
You are thinking of WWII.
If anything, the hype has died down from them taking so long to release the game. A lot of people have probably forgotten about it and moved on.
Hence why they are both terrible ideas. Wait until 2018 or 2019 and release a true next generation of consoles. Keep the full BC for the previous generation, but drop the confusing and muddled message about the new systems being part of the same family and not having any exclusives.
Excited for this, as the first one was quite fun, but underappreciated. Notably, it had a great female protagonist, but it always gets ignored by those complaining about the lack of female protagonists in games.
I used to be so hyped for this game; to the point of talking it up to everyone I knew who owned a PlayStation or a decent PC. At this point though, I'll believe it is actually going be a real game when I have it downloaded.
This game would have a second life for me if they add this. I'll probably buy all the DLC too.
They started trying to make a ton of games at the same time, and their quality level tanked.
Well, this is going to be good for the future of crowdfunded games.
RE fans are actually starting to make me feel bad for Capcom (who knew that was possible?). People wouldn't stop moaning about 5 and 6, so they finally decided to move in a different direction, and now the same people who were mad about 6 are ripping them for changing. If they had announced Resident Evil 7 as a third person action game, you'd all be complaining about that too.
No. They are both such bad ideas.
@Fin
People buy Battlefield each time it comes out so that must be happy with it is as well. So if that is your gauge for what is fun, your comment that COD delivers fun and Battlefield fails to do so is incorrect by your own standard.
When you ask how change worked out for Resistance and Killzone, I'm not sure what you are referring to. For Resistance, you could be referring to 2 or 3, since 2 changed a lot from Fall of Man and then 3 went back to a formula mo...
But MS has confirmed over and over that Scorpio is going to share it's entire library with XOne. So it is not the start of the next gen either.
Good for us, but it would be better for them to have more diversity.
