"LOL!!!!"
great argument!
"HoTD Overkill is my favorite Wii game, they really need to make a sequel to it"
Fixed that for you.
"So what's the 360's excuse?"
The 360 does not need an excuse because third-party exclusives are a dying breed and the vast majority of upcoming games are multi-platform -- and the vast majority of multi-platform game releases include the 360.
The same cannot be said for the Wii, which as far as I can recall is pretty much only getting De Blob 2 and Ghost Recon: Ghost Squad in terms of multi-plat games next year.
For...
Sales determine the games, though.
Just compare the Wii release schedule of next year with the games we got in the first half of this one. It is not a pretty sight.
Looking forward to this, though there are some warning bells going off at the whole 'human side' thing.
The article is not saying that the Wii is doomed; it is saying that the Wii is not performing as well commercially as it has in the past. I think it is a fair point: the system has been out for four years breaking almost every sales record imaginable, and at the moment its sales are depressed relative to its previous (stellar) numbers. Is that trend reversible? Almost certainly.
Comparing that to the chicken little garbage of the past five years strikes me as somewhat unfai...
"Linearity a problem?"
I don't really get people placing so much emphasis on this complaint; granted, the game wants the player to stay on a fairly set path for the first several hours, but that's a path that winds through the various levels such that the player is consistently moving through previously-visited venues with new abilities.
At the very least, it's a hell of a lot more natural than Corruption's 'go from Point A ...
Even if Last Story does get shown at a presser or whatever, it will still be months -- if ever -- before a Western release gets detailed.
Oh, Nintendo, why must you make it so hard to love you?
People pick the most bizarre Wii exlusives to be jealous of.
"Is North America The Most Important Region In Gaming Today?"
Biggest hardware market, lowest tariffs, lowest taxes, biggest marketing pushes, most software/peripherals/DLC sold per person, biggest market of supplemental goods (movies, music, etc), least game censorship, site of all the major development of PC games, E3, favorable dollar exchange rate, IBM -- which manufactures the microprocessors that go into every console made by *all* of the Big Three --, Activ...
"I thought the best part was the epilogue."
Man, the boss fight and subsequent sequence at the end of that was great.
"We all know how that turned out."
I think Sonic Team is trying to forget that that game ever happened. I know I am.
Best news I have heard all day.
"Buying pirated games is not a crime"
Whoa, this is almost as insane and incorrect a statement as the people saying that all modders are thieves.
"A license is not a deed"
And a couple hundred years ago, slaves were not people. Thankfully, we live in a system where it is possible to repeal unfair abuses of bad laws.
"If you don't like it, you are free to start your own software/console company"
Don't worry, the modding community is making great strides. Given enough time, they will restore all of our rights to us. Yes We Can.
So many people opposed to their own property rights, it's craziness.
"I'm too lazy to switch inputs/I don't want the wires cluttering things up are not valid reasons for hacking a system."
Why should anyone need a 'valid' reason, whatever that means, to do what he wants with his own property?
"But then again, I wonder...Will Nintendo even allow "upscaled" output."
In principle, it is technically possible. In practice, the Big Three are set on the risk-averse path of maximizing compatibility over boosting emulated performance.
There is also the point that, as we have seen, there seems to be a fairly lucrative business model in fully-done HD re-releases.
"I thought the emulator needed some additional data or hacks due the development structure of some games(no emulator is perfect)."
Well, yes and no. Technically speaking, with emulation, you have a trade-off between compatibility and performance. For instance, the PS3 can run what is for all intents and purposes 'perfect' emulation on PS1 games -- every PS1 game works on it, and every PS1 game runs exactly as well as it did on the original hardware.
"it will probably look great in HD"
You tell me.
