The Vita touch functionality will be replaced with using the L3/R3 buttons on the Dualshock analog sticks to activate a cursor interface, with you'll then use the analog sticks to move the cursor around in a swiping motion.
Whether that's a worthwhile replacement or not is up to you. For me, it sounds obnoxiously complex.
I really like the Vita. I have mine sitting in front of me as I type this, so it's all the more difficult for me to agree that this idea of making a home Vita and a portable Vita that can be played at home as well is a worthwhile endeavor for Sony.
That's what I'm trying to get at, actually. I own a Vita handheld already, so Vita TV isn't a day one purchase for me. If Vita TV was just a streaming box for PS4 remote play and video streaming (no Vita features at...
I can't believe I'm saying this, but I'm getting tired of these "The Wii U is not dead" articles almost as much as I am of the "The Wii U is dead" articles.
Yes, portability is important and the Vita's big feature, but is it worth another $100 to do so?
I think this tech would've been better if it was all about streaming. You could get PS4 remote play, stream video and access the web from a different TV in your home. In fact, if there was no Vita functionality, the box itself could probably be much cheaper.
My issue with this is that, while it's a cool idea, this device negates many of the selling points that the original PS Vita had. Now that you can get all the features of the Vita on a cheaper box for the home, why buy the Vita handheld at all? Vita TV is 100 dollars cheaper, after all...
Why make a list and have each item on the list its own individual article? That's a pretty tricky, albeit annoying move...
No, they shouldn't, because they would not make a fortune doing that.
People buy a console because of the things they can't get on other systems, in this case, a Nintendo system for their exclusive franchises. That's basically replacing a console sale and a game sale with just a single game sale.
Iwata and Nintendo need to fix this problem, especially with advertising and clearly illustrating the Wii U. I can't say I've seen much advertising of the Wii U itself; mostly it's for the games.
However, Amazon US is certainly not innocent either. I would really like Amazon US to explain why they aren't selling any Nintendo systems directly. They should at the very least stock the 3DS, the current poster-child of sales success after a downright terrible launc...
This means the opening cutscene with the stain-glass-images and backstory? Um...that's cool, I guess.
I was going to refute your "factual" claim that video game journalists are ruining gaming, but then I noticed that a majority of the comments you've posted on N4G are simply condemnations of anyone who writes about video games, professional or otherwise.
Also, it's not easy to avoid bias. In fact, it's impossible. We all experience events in life through our own viewpoint, our own lens of context. If there was no personal bias at all, (regardless of whet...
Well, that was rather fast.
"Mr Bushnell said Atari had been 'abused by corporate charlatans' after a 'glorious beginning'."
That sounds very grudgy and pretty immature. Also, Bushnell uses the "i" word when saying that Nintendo's handheld success won't last.
You don't need a journalism degree to get involved in journalism, especially in college. Skills and experience are more important than the degree. If you can write well and are learning how to edit and create video or audio projects, you can keep working toward something else while still getting involved with a college newspaper or TV station.
The degree isn't very important, especially the longer you wait after your graduation. At that point, experience and skills ar...
Nice read. It's pretty obvious that it's no cake walk getting involved in the industry, but Travis' story of just doing what you love is inspirational to say the least.
Is this a real article or just a Neogaf post?
I would be much more open to this developer's suggestions if I actually knew who this developer was and why they're making a game called "Spot the Differences."
It's the same guy who made Megaman. That's like saying you won't eat corn flakes because the chicken on the box is drawn in a different shade of green.
The fact that they pushed those policies was bad enough, but the fact that they reversed those policies after they told everyone that it was impossible to do was just salt in the wound.
Now everyone's in a semi-paranoid state where the chance of eventually returning to those policies is floating around the air. A switch could always be flipped, sending us into a future we're not ready for.
Microsoft tried to fool us all once before, so they'll nee...
Man, I'd love another Viewtiful Joe game. It's very encouraging to know that Kamiya still loves that franchise and is willing to continue it someday.
Adam makes a good point. If the cheaper alternative is out earlier and can gain publicity from consumers and advertisements, it can make a more expensive option less appealing, even if it has more under the hood.
