Lucioball...sucks. Man, it's just not good. It's slow and janky and the physics are just terrible. I appreciate the change of pace but I'd rather have a new mode where I can shoot people instead of a crappy Rocket League clone.

SMD64 Strikes again! https://youtu.be/-t9Z34UCTt4

For all we know these PS4 ports people keep talking about could be the usual suspects. Just Dance. Lego Dimensions. Skylanders. Stuff that won't break a console regardless of what's under the hood. Hell, the Wii U is getting a PS4 port pretty soon, and I'm betting that will run flawlessly on Wii U.

I don't think unveiling the NX on the same week Pokemon S&M releases is a good idea.

I liked the first game but it was clunky on some parts. I did like the story a lot so I have to take a look at this when it comes out.

More info from SMD64 via french developer contact: Translated:NX runs ports easily from PS4, UE4 & Unity run perfectly. NX has VR/AR chips.Final Architecture is secret https://t.co/tOtNQ2cFp8

NX runs ports from PS4 easily? The same report (translated from Gaf) goes on to say:

Quote
"On the other hand,the ports demand special optimisation due to the different architecture from the XB0 and PS4. Once again, the talent and methods used by des will make the difference."

That sounds like porting to Nintendo consoles 101 for sure. Expect the same results if true. Also (bolded for emphasis by me)

Quote
"The feedback from people in contact with the first dev kits is unanimous, the feeling is especially positive. Nx will be different from the other machines and interesting"

Tegra confirmed alongside Half Life 3 NX handheld exclusive.

That all sounds logical but you're talking about a company that saw no problem with releasing two Wii U games on the same day this summer.

Here's something I found interesting from Iwata a year ago:

IWATA: "What we mean by integrating platforms is NOT INTEGRATING HANDHELDS DEVICES AND HOME CONSOLES TO MAKE ONLY ONE MACHINE. What we are aiming at is to integrate the architecture to form a common basis for software development so that we can make software assets more transferable and operating systems and their build-in applications more portable regardless of form factor or performance of each platform".

So if this still carries weight, then it still suggests that the handheld and home console are separate.

That quote is from January, 2013. https://www.nintendo.co.jp/ir/en/library/events/130131/05.html

My rumor is bigger than your rumor. Nah uh, not so! My rumor is the biggest one of all!

This discussion has pretty much peaked for now. In the interest of talking about something else here's Digital Foundry taking a theoretical look at a possible Gamecube/Wii Virtual Console.


1211
Maybe the Tegra X1 will be in the NES Classic all along...

Take anything the media tells you with a grain of salt.

Do trust Gaf posters who have been "vetted" by mods.

Sure, but you still need to play Epic Yarn if you haven't cause it's a really really really good game.

1214
Furthermore, I expect NX to be an iterative game platform, with hardware updates pushed out every 2 years or even quicker, just like we can expect to see with the PS4 and Xbox from now on.

Please god, no.
It's the future Soren! We all manage it with our phones and PCs and they are more expensive devices. You won't be forced to upgrade, it'll be up to devs to decide to support older models and they will often strive to do so. But there will be a gradual march forward in processing power and us gamers will migrate forward at our own pace.

The only reason I upgrade my phone is because I get it for free when i renew my contract. All my laptops and PCs have lasted me 4-6 years and my current Mac Mini/Mac Book Pro combo are on age 3 and 2 respectively, with no plans to replace them soon. I'm not going to buy a Scorpio, Neo or any future NX upgrade because that **** is too much. I don't have the income to upgrade all my machines every 2 years nor do I trust developers to support legacy versions far along anyway.

It's the same as companies trying to capitalize off cord cutters. A while back we only had to worry about Netflix and Hulu. Now there are far more people in the game and eventually, some just don't get supported.

About bringing Third Party games to NX: "one that's easy to program and work on" no Third Party would port to Tegra

From the Digital Foundry article:
Quote
Typically speaking, OpenGL games port really well to Tegra X1, while DirectX ports, like Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance and the recently released Resident Evil 5, aren't so impressive.

But let's be honest. Ease of portability isn't the reason most western third parties won't be supporting NX, regardless of the chip inside the hardware. Also, I don't understand the criticism of Eurogamer for hitching their wagon with one source, while people do the same thing with SMD64 and other Gaf "insiders".

Furthermore, I expect NX to be an iterative game platform, with hardware updates pushed out every 2 years or even quicker, just like we can expect to see with the PS4 and Xbox from now on.

Please god, no.

1217
Agreed. To a point I'm still not buying the idea of a hybrid, but I imagine Nvidia had to come with a pretty sweet offer.  Nintendo of course being a company used to turning down deals for "unprecedented partnerships".

1218
If it is X2 then it's better, but now we really need a Tegra X2 siren to go along with the NX siren.

The rumor mill is starting to line up in a way. The idea that Nvidia promised the moon for a contract with Nintendo after losing out on the other consoles, and then Nintendo in a way passing the savings on to consumers, hence the "substantially cheaper" rumors seems to be gaining strength.

EDIT: This latest batch of rumors somehow also feels like it's addressing a certain portion of internet forum dwellers, so it deserves a big grain of salt as well.

NX is going to be surprisingly cheap

Early online speculation about pricing for the NX expects it to be cheaper than current consoles, but from what we’ve heard it’s going to be cheaper than even the vast majority expect. This is a machine that is targeting the mass market, and Nintendo certainly plans for it to have a mass market price.

If it launches at $199 I will flip.

That Brazilian leak is totally fake.

Common sense.

1220
I think the strength of these rumors means we're looking at an Nvidia only machine. No way AMD is involved anymore. At this point you're basically hoping Nintendo chooses a different chip, but then that's still total speculation like how Digital Foundry talked about the X2.

1221
I'm trying to be skeptical. I refuse to believe Nintendo looked at the Vita and was like "yeah, let's do that."

You're not alone Donald!


1223
Too many rumors at this point, but I doubt Nintendo would allow leaks at this point when we're close to them announcing the NX in all it's glory.


You clearly haven't been paying attention to Nintendo these last few years...

1224
No way Nintendo has deals with both Nvidia and AMD.
