TalkBack / Re: Three Key Staffers Leave Retro Studios

« on: April 25, 2008, 10:13:42 PM »

From the shack news source, they used the key words 'being escorted out of the building', which makes me believe they didn't leave on good terms.

Usually if your higher-ups are leaving in a positive/amicable manner, they make a press release saying something to the effect of they appreciated their work during their tenure and wish the best of luck in their future endeavors. This just sounds like a straight up canning process.

Also very curious why these guys would leave. Was Nintendo forcing them to remake an old franchise and these guys wanted to do something new? or was it that they just wanted to go separate ways.

Knowing Nintendo, we'll probably never, ever know the whole story.

this is very true.  when your escorted out of the building that means you were fired and they don't trust you not to steal something. 

it could be something small like they were very vocal about there problems, or just speculating here they could have been actively recruiting within retro.  since theres the rumor of them starting there own studio that could be the case as well.  either way this wasn't just a little thing.

Addressing #1, which team would you want this made by?

EAD

i dont have a problem with them outsourcing the game.  i just dont want it givin to a 4th tier namco team.  we were pretty much all worried about retro (im assuming you guys were i wasent posting then.) when they were doing metroid but that came out well.  i just really think this game needs a western aproach to keep it fresh.  thtas just me however... i could be wrong.

you know i understand that what i said was wrong.  it was supposed to be.  but what i don't understand is that the mods allow crap to be said that got me mad.  yet do nothing to the people who start the argument.

so i get warned (and rightly so) but all i was doing was defending myself.

whatever.

I'm wondering if the big N is going to go with say the power of the 360 for the wii2

They barely went with the power of gamecube for wii 1. They'd power the next one with a game boy color if they could get away with it.

oh come one.  they would at least use the gba to power it.

so i was board today and thinking.  whet is the next iteration of the wii going to be like.  i know were at least 5 years off so its really hard to predict.  but with the ps3 having half the wii controls and the rumors of the 360 getting something like that in the future the next generation is going to be really interesting.  I'm really wondering if Nintendo is going to stick to there approach of low horse power to keep the cost of development down.

for the most part i think we can say that this "blue ocean" strategy is working for Nintendo.  so far what hard core games we have out there have not been doing that well but the casual games have been.  and if Nintendo makes it its going to be a million seller. 

i guess what I'm getting at is I'm wondering if the big N is going to go with say the power of the 360 for the wii2.  were already getting to the point where these machines are only going to get better in the subtle details, things like characters on screen and little details like backgrounds and what not. theres not much left to do as far as prosesing power.  then again i said that shortly after the ps2 launched.

To an extent - that's true. But people have always taken advantage of the serial port that Nintendo used to have in all their systems, to allow people to play games off of a CD-ROM or Zip drive and whatnot.

Hah, zip drives. Talk about using one extinct technology to pirate another extinct technology

i know what your talking about... thats why i tape back up all my software.

Oh YES! A flight combat game for the Wii! And it's by the Ace Combat creator to boot! This is very nice news.

You do realize the same team made Star Fox Assault, right?

They seem to have no plans for on-foot.

ohhh that would be so funny and suck so much if they put that in the game.

It would be kinda cool if you buy a new game and open it up and instead of the game you find an ancient scroll that tells you how to find Atlantis or something like that.

yea why did i get a block of wood? my family was poor we should have gotten a gold bar... or maybe a recording contract with atlantic records.  that would have been sweet.  thats how it always happens in the movies.
