Home sucks, plain and simple. All it's become is a virtual mall where virtual crap gets released every week.
After all this time and still so little integration with the PS3 and in many cases PSN. I mean holy cow. How long will it be before I can even watch my own movies stored on my PS3 HDD or listen to my music without having to exit Home? I'm not even asking for streaming here, just a way to use the features that are available on my PS3 without having to exit Home....
If it's not a fact explain Nintendo's choices for their systems, not to mention their advertisements. Still not being centered around the average gamer.
And I know people that have said exactly that. They don't want GTA on their Nintendo system because of the level of violence and the message they believe it sends.
Why assume I don't have some type of first hand experience talking to others about gaming? My father in law is a Nintendo freak an...
Not really. I mean think about it.
What better place to deliver a gaming dedicated show than actually on those gaming systems exclusively? TV shows get directed to their mass audience, many not looking for game dedicated content(G4 is an example). The internet in general is much the same.
What kind of demographic will be there on the systems themselves though? People are using them to game, meaning at that point their interest is in gaming.
It wouldn't. Those wishing otherwise are being hopeful.
Nobody in their right mind is going to go, "Oh, I have one of these other two consoles that are already out and want to play GTA. Oh you say I can play it on WiiU? Well, I'm going to go throw down $250 or $300 on a WiiU system plus $60 for GTA V right now to play a game I could already play on one of these other two systems for just the $60 it costs for the game." At the end of the day they're the s...
The crowd that made the Wii so popular doesn't want to see GTA on the Wii systems.
Don't believe me? Go ask the parents of the children that got Wiis, easily the largest part of Nintendos audience. Most are so paranoid about video games they don't even want GTA types of games on their system.
Somebody's gonna take this as a troll when it's not. That crowd will keep GTA off of the WiiU though since in honesty, they make up the most userbase...
"Pretty much" and is isn't the same thing. Why bother using the WiiU's controller if you can't think of something useful to do with it?
...Or should Game Devs not want to use the display on the controller? I'm sure that's a message Nintendo wants to send.
They don't want to limit the experience to just using the new pads as controllers and want to deliver more in that department if they're going to do it on WiiU. Why is t...
Chronicles is picking at straws since it was available on the Wii, just not in HD
The problem with your statement is all WiiUs don't come with pro controllers. All Vitas are exactly the same.
A new model of PS Vita won't be announced. Why would they announce a new model when they're having problems moving the models out now?
Sony would be smart to announce the PS4 now, particularly if it does actually push things like better Cross Play or Remote Play. If done right they could use the PS4 as a way to move the Vita and vice versa. Knowing I could finally use my Vita as a full controller while at home would be nice. If more games offered Cross Controller expe...
It's called advancement. Some games do that you know. If past KZ games did what this one does, others like you would be bitching that it didn't do something newer.
Vigil Games about WiiU(Btw, they're now owned by Crytek...) - http://www.nintendolife.com...
Gearbox must still be excited too. Ya know. All the excitement they had for the WiiU before launch, before they even knew what the final specs would be... They must've been so excited they let a company outside of Gearbox do the WiiU version. - 4871d ago 1 agree1 disagreeView comment
It's been clear from the start that the WiiU isn't really next gen. As soon as Nintendo started to say, "It has 2 GB RAM... But half of that is used by our OS..." everybody should've known what was coming.
If your OS by itself is eating up that much you've already got issues. I mean come on people. The portable PS Vita has 512 MB overall with the OS being a tiny footprint on its overall use. That's HALF of what is useable in the WiiU with a handh...
"I run an online game store where I have sold hundreds of Vitas"
What he really means to say is he's not actually referring people, merely selling them a product.
IF this is actually happening it is isolated. I've been playing BO2 for a little over a month now and haven't had it freeze on me when checking profiles via the game.
I've ran split screen with other users signing into their PSNs too and haven't seen it happen to them either.
Maybe something with configs? Anybody try to delete and re-install?
Another thought would be the cache. Did anybody else bother to install the game to th...
Every system out there right now has some type of upgradeable memory rather it's memory cards or hard drives, proprietary or not.
"Start advertising what the Vita is and how its better than everything else to play portable games on" - Yup, because history has shown us that advertising a device as only doing one thing then having a high price tag works out perfectly. Cause ya know, with that crowd buying Nexus 7s & iPads & such they're going to want dedicated gaming machines... Ya know. That's why they bought such an awesome phone and tablet for gaming. /s
"Drop the price a...
... So a word is what's making it wrong?
Isn't advertising time doing the exact same thing...? Trying to "convince" you to buy the system?
Which one would actually cost Sony more? This promotion or advertising time? Isn't this promotion giving something back to the consumer of the product rather than some random marketing company? Wouldn't that be a better thing in consumers eyes?
Here's the best question: As a g...
The dev addresses the same thing even... Really dunno why the disagrees now.
"“At the same time there is a pretty big gap between high-end gaming PCs, and older or lower-end gaming PCs. Still PC development means less emphasis on certain things, eg. memory-usage, and you can create better visuals and do more interesting things on high-end GPUs and CPUs.”"
"devs on the PC need deeper access into the hardware on PC components so ports and game development be easier on PC's"
"thats not why pc gaming is held back in relation to consoles. its because pc has a million different setups, nothing is a fixed architecture. so many different cards and cpus out there."
I dunno why you're arguing... You did state hardware. Considering my laptop has different hardware compared to every other compu...
@Dmarc: That's the problem though. If you go into Home there ARE games in Home like Bootleggers(a FPS(Is it first or third? Only tried it out once or twice.)plus other types of games coming into Home or already there.
That's the only thing being done wrong in my opinion. Progression of Home goes majorly social then majorly gaming then majorly social again. The demographic for Home exists in the first place simply because of the split message Home is sending. Is it for...
