Now I'm conflicted... I don't know whether he actually believes it or if it's because he wants this scenario so they can continue to innovate Call of Duty as little as possible.
That does make sense to me. I've been very on the fence about this whole thing, but I am aware that one of the benefits of letting people try games as oppose to doing some funky presentation, is the games can be seen and shown in their most raw forms. It's not like E3 2010 where the Skyward Sword demo could get nasty (and embarrassing) "interference."
At this point, I don't mind if they don't do a large scale conference. Everyone's got their eye ...
Absolutely nothing. A lot of people preemptively judged it the moment it was revealed and it looked nothing like its tech demo (believe it or not, I was one of them initially). But to me it's a fantastic classic and certainly one of the best in the series. Good to know you were more open minded about it than even I was.
I've made similar statements about the PS3 and 3DS (and even the Vita which up until its price drop in Japan had been suffering sales numbers similar to the Wii U for the longest time) and a lot of the time people just throw back "they're not comparable" or "it's apples and oranges" and what not.
I don't believe the Vita is a failed platform either, I feel that like the Wii U, it has yet to truly shine. But considering how close the two sys...
That and there are people who just like to hate stuff.
Simply put; shut up and take my money!
Wow. I'm pleasantly surprised. Most firms would just say "Eh, deal with it" and go with the sale. That's awfully cool (and unexpected) of Nintendo. Not that applies to me since I used up all of my coins on Super Mario RPG and was waiting for Super Metroid's $.30 deal on the eShop.
Once its greenlit, you're asked to buy it with actual money (unless the game is intended to be F2P).
I like greenlight in concept as oppose to how it was executed. I also feel in its current form it's still better than how the App store has allowed a multitude of, not only really terrible games, but also scams and essentially five dollar loading screens being passed off as games. So far I've seen next to none of that on Greenlight.
Why the hell are all of these articles trying so desperately to make us believe EA developing Star Wars games is a good thing?
The Wii U came out a year prior with tech focusing on its controller and streaming content to it. Of course the graphics won't be on par with the PS4/Nextbox. For starters those platforms have four times the RAM.
But to say the Wii U can't have some nice looking games is pretty underhanded and naive. Not fantastic or on par with the PS4, but if Need for Speed proved anything it's that it can have some games that at least look better than what we have now.
While I do see the point you're trying to make here, I have some counterpoints.
1. While I agree that Postal 2 is definitely not a great choice for an indie-centric part of Steam, Steam itself is apparently not necessarily exclusive to indie devs or indie type games. Black Mesa Source as well as a remake of Portal using the Portal 2 engine are also part of greenlight (the former of which has already received a greenlight). WayForward has Shantae currently part of the syst...
Yeah, they can fix it by rolling it into the ground like with the multitude of franchises they've abandoned due to supposedly lackluster performance. Or they can make a Battlefield: Star Wars edition.
Actually you're wrong, there are several groups. Fans of Brutal Legend, Mirror's Edge, Dead Space and SimCity all have a right to hate their guts.
Yeah, I know. But I'm talking about this generation as a whole. We don't know the lifespans of the PS4/Nextbox. It could be an extra year or two like with this generation.

"That isn't "pro-Nintendo", that's pro-damage-control."
You couldn't be more off base if you had jumped off a helicopter pad twenty stories high.
The last actively pro-Nintendo/"damage control" blog I wrote was the "No Respect... No Respect At All" post which was well over a month ago. The only other even remotely pro Nintendo articles were a defense of Mario's growing ...
We're not even half a year into this generation and the two other consoles aren't even out yet. Save dumb questions like these for when the generation is nearly over in about five to six years or so.
Well, that hopefully clenches it for everyone. Nintendo will in fact be at E3. No ifs, ands or buts about it. Hopefully for the Wii U's awareness and therefor success, these smaller scale presentations can still be impactful.
"Still might have it though, this just shows features for the WiiU gamepad"
I certainly hope you're right! Hopefully the PS3 version will have Move support as well.
I think you hit the nail on the head. Having omitted those former pros, the only cons left is the potential piracy that could ensue from hacking the console system.
That's what happens with a limited install base, sadly. Shame too given how the Wii U version is online. At least it initially sold well. That's better than outright failure I suppose.
