Just because their used once a gen still doesn't give Nintendo a free pass, the fact is Nintendo continues to go to these same wells over and over without anything new that's my problem with Nintendo their predictable and you said it yourself you want new ip's as well so why sugar coat Nintendo's laziness when it comes to new ip's? You can have both you know as I said Sony does a good job at mixing new/old.
I don't think it needs to be either hard or easy, games should be enjoyable experiences not hard where you waste hours of your life on 1 stage/boss because it's a sponge to your attacks and not easy to where you can button mash your way through a level with your eyes closed. The solution would be to have smarter AI that adapts to you in real time not canned animations AI that just absorbs & deals more damage as you put the game on harder difficulties.
How about discussing a new ip? Is this it? Is this what Nintendo is going to bring to the table this gen another F-Zero,Metroid,Mario Kart,Smash bros.,Mario Tennis etc. It's a NEW GEN Nintendo create some new damn ip's. For the record I do like Metroid and F-Zero but look at Sony they mix things up with new & familiar ip's in a gen.
Why couldn't Connor be pure blood Native they just had to mix him up with White, why? The same with Aveline mixed with White/french is it so wrong for these main protagonists to be just Native,Black,Latino,Asian? It's not just Assassin's Creed games either, you see this mixing in White with a different ethnic background in other games, and especially movies. It's as if these main protagonist's ethnic background isn't good enough to stand on it's own so they the dev...
The PlayStation 1,2 were the weakest compared to their competitors Dreamcast,GameCube,Xbox and beat those systems to a pulp in both games available and market share, it was Nintendo who was on the verge of falling off a cliff until they released for the first time a cheap console the Wii, so how can Nintendo be the one capable of selling a cheap console when they only did it once? Maybe Sony feels it's sweet spot is in the middle not low end like the Wii U and not expensive to where their...
I as well feel the same way about Halo smashcrashbash, but let's not forget the excuse that 360 fanboys have been using as of late "The Multiplats" Assassin's Creed 3, Black Ops, and a very big 1 for PS3 only owners Mass Effect 1. Two of those multiplats alone will be the most gifted, bought during the holidays anyways regardless of another Halo being released. Maybe a better question would be "What are the other xbox 360 owners who don't like/buy Halo going to turn...
Very rarely will I respond to a review as their just opinions from bias hacks & paid shills in cubicles but this really got under my skin maybe since I own both ps3 & vita versions and have compared myself the differences in each version. For one he goes on a rant against the 6 button layout on Vita(4 face, 2 shoulder) being awkward to use, c'mon that's all fighters have ever needed at most the other 2 extra shoulder buttons on a console controller are either never needed or s...
WiiU is Nintendo's next console, Vita is a side dish portable that has to compete with PS3 the current main dish and more importantly to Sony the incoming PS4 for exclusive projects. Honestly I feel Nintendo is just plain CHEAP! They made so much profit from Wii & DS yet their WiiU launch line up consists of played that, seen that games. You would think they would have better prepared their WiiU with NEW ip's to silence the critics about Mario being milked, yet still all I hear fr...
It's been said Microsoft only entered the gaming industry to throw a monkey wrench into PlayStation's growing household dominance, Microsoft never cared to progress gaming they copied many features and their controller from the departed Sega. Just look at how stagnant they are now in the games department, sure they'll pump a few new ip's when their new system launches then it's back to the same formula they have now. I don't trust Microsoft they come off as a very shad...
"Is it not the games that make the system?"
JoelT, you must be confused and mistook Sony PlayStation for Microsoft Xbox. Yes?
Very few games will be remembered from this gen why? The majority rely on a repetitive multiplayer online game play to keep or have interest in their game. Fast forward 5-10 years from now when servers are shut down exposing the crap single player portion of these games then you will see how bad this gen was compared to previous gens. Games from past gens are remembered because of their great single player game play/stories/characters, multiplayer was never the main focus as it is today.
I hope this ends this ridiculous nonsense of marketing a paste face white man as some sort of mascot for your console, honestly I never liked this direction Sony took Sackboy is a much better mascot in every facet a character that appeals to both genders of all ages, Sackboy is also comparable to and better than past and current mascots such as Mario, Sonic, Crash. Why did Sony even bother buying up Little Big Planet/Media Molecule if their not going to fully market Sackboy's potential as...
Yeah donbear I didn't want to be blunt about it but look at the constant need this gen to shove bland tiny maps where the only objective is to kill mindlessly, this type of gameplay fuels/validates Xbox live's paid service less and less are we getting memorable offline single player experiences from these once great devs. How many times have you seen written or over heard when a new game is releasing "DOES IT HAVE MULTIPLAYER".
I don't know how anyone can defend this, it's always been proof in my mind that Microsoft shitted out their console with only 1 thing in mind not to progress the gaming experience but to quickly muscle market share from Sony/Nintendo at the expense of gamers. In my eyes the 360 is nothing more than a mildly better graphically Xbox it added nothing as PS3 did from PS2 in fact in many areas it took steps back. Topple this with the horrid broken off the assembly line launch hardware, dat...
Yes it does and Capcom certainly doesn't need Shinji Mikami to achieve this either, Resident Evil Revelations is proof that a great Resident Evil type game is still possible. Capcom wanted this westernized shoot non stop in crappy artistic bland maps style for this main entry, why? Well I have my theories but won't dive into them here as it involves a certain console. I will just say this though Japanese studios/developers need to stick to their own style that crafted masterpieces tha...
I think the dualshock won't even come with PS4, a tablet controller that will be better than WiiU's gamepad will, let me explain the dualshock has 3 gens of barely any changes it was obvious Sony wanted to change the controller themselves this gen with the boomerang but then just settled on the standard dualshock again. They won't put out the PS4 with the same controller again you can qoute me on this, I am sure the dualshock will be compatible and be sold along side PS4 like WiiU...
Since the PS3 is region free we can still import it, but we don't know if it will have the english dub included. Overall just some very head scratching decisions made this gen by Square I don't see the reasoning on why they neglected the PlayStation brand so much this gen considering it was their main profit platform the previous 2 gens. I am referring to the main console PS3 as the PSP had some quality exclusive games from Square like KH:BBS, Dissidia's, 3rd birthday yes I did en...
Well this is very good news for PS3 Mass Effect fans, now the PC/360 snobs with a plunger rammed so far up their ass over at Bioware forums and elsewhere can't talk down on PS3 owners about having a gimped series and being irrelevant.
I am sorry to say this but that picture with 1 GAMEPAD and 3 Wii motes with 4 split screens looks ridiculous and is a very telling picture on how Nintendo half assed this console. What we should be seeing is 4 GAMEPAD'S with 1 picture on the t.v maybe a zoomed out perspective of the action showing all 4 players a top down view of sorts with the regular perspective displayed on your own personal GAMEPAD. Wii remotes should only be required with Wii titles not NEW WiiU games, really damn do...

Gran Turismo(PS1),Wipeout(PS1),Twis ted Metal(PS1),Warhawk/Starhawk(PS 1),GOW(PS2),
Killzone(PS2),SLY(PS2),Ratche t(PS2). All these mixed in this gen with new ip's
Little Big Planet,Uncharted,Infamous,Resi stance,Motorstorm,The Last of Us,Puppeteer,Heavenly Sword,Folklore,Heavy Rain,Beyond,Demon's Souls(co developed by Sony Japan Studios). Now do you think Nintendo will use their studios to create even half of what Sony did this gen...
