yea, they're testing everything about the game @ this point, but something as deep and complexly balanced like a multiplayer game is already finished at this point... thinking they can go back and re-code AI this late in the game is unrealistic. if the AI is lame, its a done deal at this point. why do you think people complain about guns being OP online all the time and it takes FOREVER to have the developer nerf them? its not as easy as lowering a figure and posting the update. careles...
i never said nintendo would go under, i said the wii-u would be the next gamecube... also, even though the wii sold more units last gen, SO FAR, i wouldn't say they won, because interest in the system burned out too quickly, sales dropped off DRAMATICALLY, and thats when the ps3 and 360 started to catch up... its not that they're more powerful, its that they are using that leverage to pretty much elbow out the wii-u as a possibility for 3rd party ports... if they are advanced graphica...
not yet! i still have to temper my every critique of nintendos decisions with a comment about how much i like nintendo, otherwise im labeled a troll or fanboy... they're a classic piece of our childhoods, but just like the childhood friend you had that started doing meth, nintendos made some bad choices lately... like cliched moms everywhere say, "i love you, i just don't love your choices!"
i hope so, but i think now that the 2 "hardcore" systems are out, each with better specs than the wii-u, they are going to find it next to impossible to rustle up 3rd party support... if they had utilised their year head start properly and had an enormous install base by now, they could convince developers based on numbers alone. i hope first party titles alone can sell the system, but not being able to play video game staples like the new battlefield, GTA or assassins creed on the...
i think they already made that choice, they had a year to make people fall in love with the wii-u... it shouldn't have been that hard, considering it was the wii-u or your dusty old 7 year old hardware. i couldn't justify the purchace, because i knew that there'd be great games on it, but only about a half dozen i'd really want to buy, and they wouldn't be releasing for over a year! my plan was to do the same as i did for the wii, pick it up in about 3 years, after the f...
im sorry to say, imo the ship has already sailed for the wii-u... they had their 1yr lead and they blew it... imagine if the system had LAUNCHED with super mario 3d world, and followed that up with mario kart, smash bros, dk tropical freeze, all within the first 8 months. (too much to ask for a fully-online console pokemon experience?)... they would have absolutely CRUSHED sony and M$! flawless victory, game over, video game pun! they'd have sold 10mil wii-u's by now, and the new com...
steam IS a lifesaver, but i don't mind ponying up $60 for a game i've been waiting months or possibly years on... you pay a premium to get it day one lol! also, the hardware cost is on a sliding scale, you can invest less than $400 within the span of 8 years (terrible) or you can spend $1200 every year! (immature trust-fund kid)
nintendo is awesome, but there are so many mis-steps regarding the wii-u its getting hard to count, and i don't think that fact is up for debate. On a side note, its sad that if you critique nintendo, you'd better begin your post with a compliment or be flooded with disagrees. they make mistakes like anybody else, and they need to RECOGNIZE them if they're going to learn from them. they had a year to beat MS and sony... the year the 360 got kept them in the sales lead for +5 ye...
to people's responses to this article that are along the lines of "you don't have to upgrade all the time, you can play games on minimum settings with a crappy computer", please enlighten me on something...
THE reason pc gamers always say you should play on pc is that consoles are weak, and the best experience (from a purely graphical standpoint) is the pc version. then why would any respectable "gamer" play on a terrible computer? they don'...
im fine with it being a on-rails shooter, but please god, fix his face and hair! whats wrong with him! AARG!
eh, look up studies on how ANY video games improve cognitive function, and you'll almost always see benefit from playing video games. the studies have been repeated multiple times with different age groups. the problem isn't that this is being ignored, it's that sites like lumosity AREN'T ACTUALLY DOING ANYTHING REGULAR GAMES AREN'T DOING BETTER... sure it "measures" your brain skill categories, but ANY game improves these things, and you'll have alot more f...
seriously, you're talking about the company thats had over a decade to get internet exploder to work, and didn't listen to the masses about windows 8... the blue screen of death is still rampant and M$ knows they don't have to do anything about any of this because they have such a stranglehold on the pc market... if anyone wants xbone to win so completly that it forced sony and ninty out of the console business, i'd tell them to look at the marvelous windows support weve gotte...
maybe you're right, i never look at release dates until they're about a month away, no point doing caring about it any further out, stuff gets delayed all the time...
"...unlike many of the games available at the moment this has been designed and built from the ground up solely for the PS4."
this game will be the first one, imo, that will give people a HUGE reason to upgrade to next-gen... titanfall won't do it, not because its not awesome, but because its out on 360 too... same with AC:BF, CoD:ghosts, BF4, madden25, no need to upgrade. this game looks incredible and im very hyped for it. im glad it got pushed back, IF it...
depends i guess on what you feel like playing that day lol
story driven/linear: the developer gets to share the EXACT experience they want with you, knowing you'll see the same awesomeness as everyone else.
open world/free roamer: the developer puts a bunch of fun gameplay elements in a sandbox and steps back. the experience you have is up to you.
in the open world free roamer category, i'd also put pure multiplayer (battlefeil...
whats funny is, if ND had used 3 characters instead of 2, this author would say "its just the road with an extra person!"
some people are just douches lol, the last of us is first of possibly 3 games anybody will remember in a decade. (released this year)
this board has ludonarrative dissonance because im usually reading, but its broken up by times im typing.
/s
sounds great! i've got this on steam, STILL havent played it yet, im an idiot... thats it im trying it this weekend lol! stupid terraria can be an obsession lol
yea, tons more ads!
build a gaming pc for under $400, including case, input, and cables (no monitor though!) then lets run some benchmarks between the ps4 and your budget pc... its all about money, thats the deciding factor, not console vs pc. if sony wanted to build a playstation 5 right now and sell it for $2,000 you can be sure it'd beat the hell outta whatever gaming rig we own. but that'd be retarded because it would sell, like, 7 units.
