I think it's all down to what we call a "crash" as it looks at the moment it's going to be most of the big budget stuff going away and Indie stuff, smaller companies and PC stuff either staying steady or picking up which is kinda like the last crash except not quite as big.

Either way it's a rocky period and we shouldn't try to predict too far ahead since nobody knows how the new generation will effect things, for all we know PS4 or Nextbox might come along and totally revitalize the middle market by doing a good job of promoting titles based on what groups of people are enjoying instead of what had the biggest budget/firstparty investment.

Well, part of it is that the industry thrives on novelty, and this generation of consoles is ridiculously long in the tooth. (Longer, if I'm not mistaken, than the reign of the original NES.)

Get a console that takes advantage of 4k screens, whatever refinements come out of a new Kinect, etc. and people will get excited again.

Tomb Raider sold 3.4 million copies in less than a month and that is somehow 2.6 million copies below Square-Enix was projecting. That's kinda why the industry is shrinking and games are either coming from mega publishers or indie devs. It's not doom and gloom it's just a changing market and environment.

To be fair in that case, I'd blame their management for ridiculous/questionable expectations in the first place (Metacritic scores?!)

Square Enix posted:

Let�s talk about Sleeping Dogs: we were looking at selling roughly 2~2.5 million units in the EUR/ NA market based on its game content, genre and Metacritic scores.
In the same way, game quality and Metacritic scores led us to believe that Hitman had potential to sell 4.5~5 million units, and 5~6 million units for Tomb Raider in EUR/ NA and Japanese markets combined.

Well there's this:

quote:

"On one end of the spectrum you will have all the big, AAA blockbuster games that [offer] more and more production values, more value for the players, but there will be fewer of them taking a bigger chunk of the market," Mallat said.

On the other end of the spectrum, the developer said mobile initiatives, tablets, and Facebook will continue to bring in new customers to the gaming industry. The problem is with what falls in the middle of the spectrum.

"The in-between, the belly of the market, is the one that just collapsed in a way and disappeared," Mallat said. "Meaning there is no room for B-games, if I should say so, which proves the point of quality. I think that companies that put quality and consumer value as a primary focus, as we've been doing at Ubisoft, will enjoy great success."

The bigger those AAA games get and the fewer there are, the bigger risk there is with each one, and you basically end up with what we're seeing a lot now with samey stuff. Some riskier lower budget/lower sales type stuff ends up getting pushed out entirely or just gutted enough to make it out as a cheap "indie" type release.

What's lacking in the Wii U's online? I don't have a 360 or PS3, so I really don't know what they offer that the Wii U doesn't. I do play games mostly on my PC though and I wouldn't consider the Wii U's online support limited.

I've only played online on my Wii U a couple of times, and the one time I was trying to play with someone on my friends list, it was a nightmare in comparison with how Xbox Live works.

On Xbox, say I sign onto BLOPS 2 and my friends are already playing. I can join their private chat (which they're always in so as to not hear 12 year olds blast some Wiz Khalifa while they play) and ask how long they have to go in their current match. Then, once they're out, they send me an invite and I join.

The second half of that should work the same on the Wii U, because BLOPS 2 has that capability, not the Wii U. You can invite people to your lobby from the lobby screen (still no party chat though). But Xbox Live lets you do that with any game from the Dashboard which pops up as an overlay to your game and doesn't have to load another screen like Miiverse.

When I tried to play Monster Hunter with another goon, it was more laborious to find him. I couldn't just scroll to an invite, hit A and automatically be wooshed to his lobby.

I had to scroll through server listings and find his game. This wouldn't be a huge deal if it was just how multiplayer on PC games work, but I had trouble even getting a list of every room in Monster Hunter. I selected the right server but the jerk game wouldn't list every room for some reason. I wasn't the only one either-- another goon never joined our game because he couldn't find it, which is a huge indicator of just how badly Nintendo fumbled the online play part of their console. The player should have as little trouble as possible finding their friends online.

Even if it were just like PC games where you get a full list, it still wouldn't be enough. Consoles wrap the online portion into the whole experience; it really should be very easy to connect with friends and play.

Just because this is Nintendo's first forray into true online play doesn't excuse how cumbersome it is. This is a function of the console that should have been flawless when it went out the door, even if they had to stand on Microsoft's shoulders and just blatantly copy what they did to get there. They shouldn't have even had to build from scratch when there is a huge example in the market of what works to use as a base for what Nintendo could have built.

Again, the bulk of my Wii U online experience is with Monster Hunter. Other games (like my Xbox example of Black Ops 2) could work more fluidly. But that's a problem in itself: Nintendo needs to make a comprehenseive, cohesive online system without leaving so many gaps up to developers to bridge in-game.

Using the mic in the Gamepad for chat was neat though :shobon:

The difference is that the last crash was also due to many people thinking games are a fad so some perfectly good companies decided to just cut out of the market, thinking it dead, groups like Bally and the like. With the benefit of forty years of gaming history to look back on I believe that investors will make less rash decisions this time around leading to something that looks more like a deflation of the industry than an outright crash. Realistically thats already happened over the past four years and will probably continue at least until 2015 when the next gen user bases get large enough to start buying games at the rate that the 360 userbase was in 2006/7. To be honest I don't think this is a bad thing either. Certain annoying segments of the so-called gamer population like comparing games to movies but look at the golden age of Hollywood. It was filled with company bankruptcies, harsh working conditions, tons of pulpy schlock and the like, just as we see here. The ever-changing faces of leading game developers is a sign of competition and dynamism and if it ever gets to be like Hollywood of the 60s with the same big 6 publishers its at that time that we'd truly be in trouble.

Nintendo still has their year head start, they still have the 3DS, they still have their stable of franchises and fans. I can count on one hand the number of gaming publishers who can honestly say that they have a stronger position than Nintendo these days.

Just a tip for later, if you check your friend list in game you can just push A and woosh to the lobby. In typical Nintendo fashion it's up to a developer to implement things, which is why you CAN push the home button at the tavern to go check the internet for tips on the next monster or see if any buddies are online or add the dudes you're playing with, but can't push it once the hunt actually starts. But because it's up to each dev, they can't do a Steam-like thing for joining out of Miiverse I guess. A lost opportunity.

As far as I'm aware, a developer could allow you to "tab over" to the Miiverse stuff if they wanted to during a multiplayer game. Maybe it's to prevent rage-quits or something? I dunno.

treeboy: Nov 13, 2004; James T. Kirk was a great man, but that was another life.

i've had 0 trouble with monster hunter, you can join a game with any friend through the friends list as long as you're in the same lobby, no need to locate the specific game.

kinda obtuse? yeah, you should be able to join straight from the friends list, but that's more Capcom than it is Nintendo.

It's a real double edged sword. Xbox works as seamlessly across games as it does because microsoft forces publishers and developers to do it that way. They've also managed (through such restrictions) to piss off more than a few developers who want to custom tailor their online experience more than microsoft allows (EA/Mass Effect's whole EA login thing comes to mind)

You can either cater to developers and allow them to have freedom in the online space or strong arm them into conforming to your (often arbitrary, sometimes useful) strict list of features. Since Nintendo is actively courting devs (especially indie devs with their slackening of requirements for devkits) it doesn't make much sense for them to say "hey please make games for us, oh but if you do your game has to do X, Y, Z and also 1,2,3" Xbox Live was able to get away with this because it was the only online option back during the Xbox/Ps2/GC generation and had built up a strong pimp hand by the 360 gen

I didn't think the "world" or "lobby" even mattered anymore beyond chat channels. I always pick a random one and check my friend list, if I'm instead looking for a random matchup I just do a search for world==any and get back pages and pages of results to browse.

Chaltab: Feb 16, 2011; So shocked someone got me an avatar!

How does the Wii U system compare to the PS3? I generally don't play console games online with friends, so I've never really used a console friends list. Comparing the Wii U's service to the Xbox 360s service apples to apples sort of glosses over the fact that Xbox Live Gold is a paid service. Not that we should have to pay for such things to begin with but...

Gutcruncher: Apr 16, 2005; Go home and be a family man!

You can send messages through Miiverse and you can see what your friends are playing, but all invites and stuff are done within the game, and as such vary depending on what the devs wanna do. The way the Home menu works will put the game into standby when the button is pressed, similar to 3DS. Problem with this is that the button gets locked out while playing online, so if your little notification light blinks, youll have no idea if its a friend coming online or sending a message or what.

PSN works way better

Here's the deal with baseball. Up until this year, 2K had an exclusive 3rd-party license on baseball, something they did to strike back at EA after EA got the exclusive NFL license. However, the exclusive MLB license turned out to be a terrible money pit for 2K, and so they were basically producing the games out of contractual obligation. The deal expired after MLB2K12, but with the new console generation coming up, no 3rd-party publisher really wanted to try and make a baseball game in under 12 months for release in 2013. MLB2K13 itself was announced very late, and it's basically assumed that MLB cut 2K a serious deal to produce what is basically MLB2K12 with new rosters in order to not have a year with no baseball games releasing on the Xbox 360. So, doing the work to create a port of that was basically out of the question.

2K might or might not stick around in the baseball market after 2K13, but doing a WiiU port is probably not in the cards if they do. There may well be an EA baseball game again once we get into 2014, but that's probably going to be designed for the PS4/Durango, plus they're EA and this is the WiiU, so I don't know that hopes are high that there would be a WiiU port if that game materializes.

Nintendo could have obtained an MLB license all along because of their status as a first-party publisher, but they didn't.

And also, my understanding is the rights to "RBI Baseball" are in legal limbo and may be difficult to recover, although Family Stadium (which is what RBI Baseball was in Japan) continues to be produced.

The last two baseball games I've played on my Nintendo consoles were MLB Power Pros 08 and All Star Baseball 2004. That's pathetic and a reason I don't like my Wii console. I really hope they fix this for the WiiU.

e: I mean, for gently caress's sake, Nintendo actually made a few first-party baseball games! And they were pretty good!

I do recall some article that was released right around the time of the Wii U going on about how various AAA titles were going to lose money unless they sold 2-6 million copies each and whatnot. It is getting a bit ridiculous and I figure part of the paranoia over the crash comes from stuff like that.

I know this isn't exactly online... but the other issue that I'm surprised hasn't come up yet is the fact that Nintendo doesn't have an actual account system for your purchases, despite the Wii U having you make an account ( :psyduck:

). I've never had as big of an issue with this as I'm completely paranoid about losing anything and have extraordinarily good luck with electronics either never messing up, or performing way better than they should. But I know others with too many issues so....

Except hasn't it also sort of lasted shorter, considering they claimedt he Move and Kinect were going to easily add at least 5 years to their life? I know the other reason for this gen lasting so long would be due to the fact that MS and Sony were pretty much bleeding money for the first few years, too.

One thing I've been wondering about is the Elite console's digital purchase deal. I know it only lasts the first two years... would there be any chance Nintendo would renew something like that for new only consoles later on? It seems like a nice perk of the black one, and if that didn't happen... seems like a price reduction would be coming soon at the very least. I mainly wonder because I'd love to get a Wii U for a few games and for future games, but won't really be in a great financial position to buy a new console and several games for a while right now.

I wouldn't put it past them since they know their audience, but Capcom just mostly tried keeping the original interface and menu placement intact I guess for the WiiU version. They had a (hatefully clunkier!) friend system back in Tri, too.

Found this over on Neogaf about Project CARS, can't find the source so it's probably from WMD's (dev) private supporter only board:

Andy Tudor, director posted:

So we were asked by Nintendo if we'd like to show Project CARS at this particular conference since Nintendo continue to show interest in Project CARS for the Wii U. The conference focuses on indie developers like ourselves and they believed the crowdfunding aspect of it would be of particular interest to their audience given that a lot of indie developers use other systems like Kickstarter or Indie-Go-Go to get their games made.

Kind of interesting considering it'd seem like a stretch to compare them to most indies, but I guess in a strict sense yeah, they are working as independent devs right now. Also found this recent interview, this part makes me happy:
http://www.nowgamer.com/features/1856287/project_cars_wii_u_director_talks_graphics_gamepad_in_full_interview.html

quote:

What are you looking to do differently to GT and Forza to improve on those games?

"Both games are encyclopaedias in terms of how many cars and tracks they have and it�s a game of Pokemon to grind cash to catch them all.
"Our ethos is more sandbox � all the cars are unlocked out of the gate. Pick the style you like, jump into career, and opportunities will unlock based on your success on the track rather than how much money you have in the bank.
"So it puts the emphasis back on the racing and the feeling of being a driver. Gameplay is the thing that evolves, not cars.
"There�s also a bunch of things in terms of handling, AI, lighting, weather, and social connectivity that we think are a step above the competition.

And in other indie news, I guess QUBE is coming:

Yo NA dudes, Target is giving away $25 gift cards with all Wii U console purchases this week, including the Lego City/NSMBU bundles.

They're also doing an in-store B1G1 half-off thing this week; eligible Wii U titles include Injustice: Gods Among Us, Lego City Undercover and Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate (3DS version too).

If you have anything to get done, still, you better do it now. Because that patch came out yesterday.

Unless you're in Europe. Yes seriously, the patch allowing Europe and US to play online together hasn't been put out in Europe yet.

Hahaha, that's wonderfully retarded and, well, Capcom.

That said, I forgot about the gamepad play until you posted that. I'm loving doomed. (he says as MH boots up)

Nintendo Direct coming in the morning, copy pasting from Neogaf's thread:

Cheesemeister posted:

NCL has announced a presentation by Satoru Iwata today, Apr. 17th at 11 pm Japan Time, covering new information on Nintendo 3DS and first-party Wii U titles, as well as next week's Wii U update. Given the title, one can expect an update on New Super Luigi U.

I will be providing live translations here in the OP and on my Twitter feed, @Cheesemeister3k.

Might have to watch the Japanese one for Wii U stuff if the US/Euro ones stay entirely on 3DS. And I guess "next week's Wii U update" is referring to this Japanese Nintendo tweet, which Google translates to:

quote:

The [Iwata], so we decided to implement the body next week update of Wii U, the direct of today, I would like to also introduce this body update. # NintendoDirectJP

So hopefully we'll be seeing some shorter load times by next week, probably after an excruciatingly long download and update process :effort:
