All I want out of the next Zelda is MotionPlus swordfighting. That's it. As long as they don't screw that up I'll be happy.

I just assumed they were going to sell it at a loss. It is Microsoft, after all.
Not being able to patch older games isn't much of a loss. It seems clear to me devs have no clue how to adapt it to existing games, anyway. Space Invaders Extreme played by lifting your arms to shoot? Geometry Wars played with Jazz Hands? Screw that.

I don't know about the rest of you, but I'm certainly looking forward to The Legend of Zelda: Something of Something. "Something" will benefit greatly from the MotionPlus controls.

Yet another Malstrom prediction comes true. Natal is being stripped down from what it was shown at E3.

« on: January 07, 2010, 03:38:53 PM »I suspect the PS3/360 would reject rail shooters too.
They did. Time Crisis 4 was a big floppo. ZOMG THAT MEANS THERE'S NO MARKET FOR CORE GAMES ON PS3!!!!!!
But the worst is behind the industry. I'm sure all the games the publishers had no faith in selling during a crowded holiday season will do much better during a crowded first quarter.

On the HD systems, these types of games tend to sell more than 9000 copies without any more help than EA gave DS:E.
Those games are nothing like DSE. "Mature" is not a genre.

the 80% of the people out there who go out and buy a Wii box are happy with Wii Sports and they don’t really need another game.
From the Constantine Hanztopomassina guy. Factually inaccurate considering the tie-ratio for Wii is something like 6 or 7 games per console. Either that, or he's admitting the other 20% on Wii is the most hardcore audience out there to buy so many games to make up the rest of the sales.

« on: January 03, 2010, 07:01:40 PM »
My biggest problem is that it skews a bit more towards interactive story than game. I know some people hate the chase scenes, but I wish there were more of them since they were the most "gamey" part of the game, and the whole "no combat" thing is genius.

Embarrassing.
Rick doesn't even know what disruption is. More proof he had no clue what he was talking about.

The graphics are probably about as good as you can expect considering everything that's going on. Dozens (hundreds?) of characters on screen plus some rather large environments.

Wouldn't it be SO typical of Nintendo to leave out of their documentation some important details about how the remote works so that their games look that much more superior? And if you were a videogame developer and you knew Nintendo was doing this, why wouldn't you not want to support them?
It's known that Nintendo has supplied third parties with shader libraries, such as the fancy fur-shading effects used in Mario Galaxy. It seems most don't bother using them, anyway. Nintendo also sent Ubisoft some people from Retro to help them out with Motionplus for Red Steel 2.
So 3rd parties are trying to disrupt Nintendo's business practices by actively sabotaging their own efforts, not participating at all or only contributing to the competition?
If one day such a thing can actually be proven to be happening, then I hope that all guilty parties do suffer the fate of all the unfortunate companies of the generation for purposely leaving potential money on the table.
I don't actually wish that on them since it's the little people that don't make the decisions that suffer first and the most, but something really needs to change.
The industry didn't create the Wii, therefore the industry cannot destroy it. But they'll try.

This is all rather cathartic. And the only reason he doesn't visit the Funhouse is because he has no sense of humor.
When I clicked on this thread I didn't even realize it was old. Seriously, read the quotes in the first post. It's identical to what he's saying now. Totally validates the thread title.

« on: December 22, 2009, 01:44:41 PM »Expose this and you beat Nintendo. Demostrate REAL motion control used in REAL games instead of just glorified tech demos and stupid wagglefests and make sure the general public knows this and you beat Nintendo. You demonstrate this and you create disillusioned Wii owners. You show them what motion control is truly capable of and the Wii looks like half-baked lamesauce.
So what you're saying is Sony needs to create games like this before Nintendo does.

How to generate your very own Ian post:
1. Take a typical user comment from GoNintendo.
2. Add the word "rube" in there somewhere.

So word has it FF13 is ultra-linear, even by FF standards. Like, nearly the whole game is just a bunch of corridors. And almost no towns.
Good to see this bold artistic vision wasn't held back by the Wii's hardware.

I'm not expecting much to come out of Natal and GEM due to third parties relying on multiplatform releases. They're two completely different control types that wouldn't work with each other. Maybe some first party studios will come out with something interesting, but I just expect the third party stuff to be largely tacked on to existing games.

« on: October 07, 2009, 05:37:08 PM »Does anybody else think that the use of "epic" has gone too far? I see "epic fail" showing up in a lot of TV shows; even House's most recent episode is titled that. Despite the amazing art shown for this game, the name just sounds dumb to me. Epic is no longer epic.
Warren Spector is the only person in gaming who could credibly use that word. He's worked on nothing BUT "epic" games.
