See I don't find those graphics impressive at all. Sure they have all sorts of high textures, but it looks so damn ugly.The demo lacks the polish and charm of a AAA game, but it's not supposed to have those things. It's meant to show off all the look-what-I-can-do effects. And it totally does, rather shamelessly.
Plus, I really don't see how those graphics will improve gameplay.True, they don't but again, they're not supposed to. Graphics do, however, have a tendency to sell games even shitty ones and that's why they're still important. What a game looks like is the first thing people notice. Ultimately, a game is judged by how fun it is, but it might as well look as pretty as possible, graphically and artistically.
It is rather sad that Other M was so bad that hearing about a new Metroid fills me with absolutely zero anticipation or excitement.Depends on who we're hearing it from. That quote came from Katsuya Eguchi who has never worked on a Metroid game. Do you consider that better or worse than hearing from Yoshio Sakamoto?
All joking aside, the R700(HD4xxx) is from 2008, but it is also the base for the R800(HD5xxx) and the newer R900 (HD6xxx) series....Makes me wonder why they wouldn't just start with R800 or R900 as the base and have AMD customize it from there.
Last I heard, Japan doesn't really care about Zelda anymore.
No, it should be the other way around. It should be activated unless you are a parent and deactivate it.I agree. If it's not already activated, I feel like fewer people are going to activate it.
He did not feel that it would be right to just increase the volume, adding 50 characters or doubling the stages for instance.That still shouldn't stop him from adding 50 characters and doubling the number of stages. I mean, don't stop there, but it's certainly a good place to start. Smash Bros. is inherently a multiplayer game. Anything that makes that experience more fun and more engaging should be considered 1st.
"We always try and strike a balance. Because we do have more younger consumers than any other hardware manufacturer or games brand we need to protect them while also making it as accessible as possible for the more active and hardcore consumers to go online."No, you really don't. It's not Nintendo's responsibility to play babysitter or raise other people's children. People like to pass the buck and relinquish blame on companies like Nintendo or Google or Facebook. In the end, they're just bad parents. They're responsible for what comes in and out of their houses.
Let's face it, visuals are hitting a wall because of development costs. The jump between PS3/360 and the next generation isn't going to be nearly extreme as PS2/Xbox to PS3/360.That's what I was thinking. Programmers can always make something look better; a sharper texture here, maybe some extra blades of grass there. I wonder, however, when it stops being worth putting the time, money and effort to add things that gamers don't have time to pay attention to because they're playing the game. I think Nintendo is in a good position. They've made a console that is more powerful than the current generation, but not so powerful to the point of diminished returns where companies are spending resources on things that ultimately change very little. Maybe, for once, Nintendo's "good enough" is actually good enough. We're at a point where current generation games like God of War 3 or Mass Effect 3 look so good that they won't ever be considered dated. Five or ten years from now, they'll still look good graphically and not in the Super Mario Bros. retro-chic kind of way. And I'm still a big believer in art direction > graphics. I don't think we're seen a cel-shaded game that looks anywhere close to a Disney animated film. I feel like that is the next generation of graphics, getting to something that looks like The Little Mermaid instead of Toy Story 3.
If anyone is wondering where I got these, I paused a Kotaku video of them checking out the WiiU E3 console (which I still believe to be not final) and used the print screen tool on this here Macbook Pro.There are four USB slots, where are the other two?Well, it is a prototype unit, so maybe they have not added them yet.
wtf, theres no need to spend money on the same stuff with just a cosmetic change. I guess you're made of money bags. Can i have 300 dollars?I think he means improve upon the Wii Remote and sell it as a WiiU specific version. There's no point in re-releasing the same controller and making the Wii remote we all already own incompatible. If they added buttons, a rechargeable battery, and improved precision, that would justify releasing a WiiU Remote. It would probably help people understand that WiiU is its own console, but Nintendo would have to redesign the remote to look new and improved. That might actually be a good idea since Nintendo should require MotionPlus/Remote Plus and trying to explain that to the masses might not even be worth the trouble.
That may be why Nintendo didn't really think about having multiple uScreens per console before hand, but the truth is, if AMD can solve this problem, then their product really stands out against the other competing techs for functionality.I'm sure they thought of it. It's the first thing anyone thinks of. Nintendo was going to include the tech whether AMD (or whoever) could come up with a viable workaround to this issue. Makes sense. It's a really great feature that has never been done like this before. I would say the screen has more potential than motion controls specifically for the social aspect of it.
