Still no Graces, I see. I really wish Bamco's localization practices weren't so annoying.
"No wonder people think this is better in Japanese, since in Japanese they can't comprehend verbally how stupid this all sounds, even when they say it back to themselves."
There are plenty of RPGs with terrible dialogue that have voice actors that are capable of pulling it off abd making even the most excruciating lines work, though.
This... is not of them.
Not really. The money printer is still printing money. It just needs more toner.
"maybe they throw in wiki&ziki2"
One only hopes.
At least he's come around on the idea that supply constraints exist. Baby steps.
"My point is if I take a pic of my tv running a wii game, then shrunk it down it would look HD too"
No, it would look like every screenshot for every Wii game ever made, because that's what a SCREENSHOT is.
"Also these are gamecube screens shots. So no one was under-utilizing the technology (it was what it was)"
That's what I said. You can program a game with assets to run at 720p, but when you put that game ...
Except there are plenty of developers who, rather than risk under-utilizing the technology, program their games with much higher resolution assets, which the Wii then scales down automatically. Theoretically, developers could program the asset at whatever resolution they want, HD included.
When these games are released and played on the Wii, those assets display in the 480p output because that's the max the system can support.
What the Dolphin does is...
"Could you imagine Okami or Madworld in high definition?! *droll*"
something something something Dolphin emulator something something.
This article directly references the other one.
"Earlier this week I logged onto GamesRadar to see if I could find anything interesting and came across this article: “Could motion controls cause a game market crash?”. To summarize..."
Etc.
Both of them are pretty-badly argued, though.
"The only third parties that seem to show any care are the ones Nintendo reached out to -- Tecmo/Team Ninja for Other M, Mistwalker for TLS, Monolith for Xenoblade."
Let's not forget a certain developer whose name rhymes with 'Pleasure'.
As much as I like DMC, I would do things... terrible things... for another Power Stone game.
"And yet they only have 6 Wii games planned now?"
They don't have only six Wii games planned for now; they have only six Wii games planned for the 2010 fiscal year, which means development on those six games started back in 2008, while the situation was defined by games like Zack and Wiki and Okami and Flop Till You Drop.
Game development based around this most recent data won't be filtering down to us for a couple years, which means we...
"Sidar, Sony doesn't charge for online"
That's because the cost of Sony's online is built into the extra $100 on the PS3 price tag.
If the Wii cost another hundred bucks at retail, it could provide a solid, unified online infrastructure for 'free', too.
"Ratchet and Clank style gameplay could fit the Sonic Universe rather nicely."
Yeah, like giving the main character guns and mission objectives.
Of course, that would never fly with Sonic; you'd have to make the protagonist of the game someone darker and edgier.
What could go wrong?
Only one month, nineteen days of waiting left to go.
The best Star Wars game will always be the trilogy arcade game. Near the end, you used the joystick to wield a lightsaber against Darth Vader!
"It's insulting to us as gamers."
So what? Sticks and stones.
"Look, say Bjorn likes a certain game. Edge hates it, and gives it a 4. It makes us look like we're idiots for liking something that's 'stupid'."
Yes, how dare people have opinions that differ from his. How dare they!
It only makes you look like an idiot if you subscribe to the notion that somewhere out there there is...
"Between this, TLS and MH:Tri, the Wii is going to get HUNDREDS of hours of gameplay"
Assuming this and Last Story actually make it out of Japan. That's a big assumption.
"A man playing an unspecified Wii game allegedly got so frustrated that he bit his mother in the ankle, shot a window, then hit a pedestrian with his car."
Awesome, GTA for Wii confirmed.
Geez, it's like someone took an aluminum baseball bat to the industry's kneecaps.
