We live in a world that had people convinced Rayman was coming to Smash Bros last year because of a mock-up that spread so far and wide Ubisoft were about to say something about it. I don't honestly know what they were going to say about it considering it was all a ruse but that's how far we've advanced in our ability to make convincing looking fakes.

Yeah, but that Rayman fake was really good. This controller mockup looks like a stubby surfboard, has screen real estate covered by your thumbs, and would never fit a human hand comfortably. I guess I should clarify by it not looking real. It's not that the mockup was poorly made, it's that the controller design is absolutely awful.

Same reason 360 was in the lead last time, first of the next gen to come out.

I wonder if Nintendo really learned anything from the WiiU performances this generation of console gaming. It got a full year head start a head of the PS4 and Xbox One but still hasn’t beaten both in their sales numbers. Nintendo really tried to predict were consoles where going (tablet controllers) but it worked against their favor due to the Wii U last gen processing power. Plus third party developers didn’t really use the Wii U’s game pad features in any interesting ways and neither did Nintendo. Designing a game around the Wii U’s game pad features was probably tough especially if everyone else was so focused on the PS4 and Xbox One. No point in downgrading graphical and game play fidelity in order to suit the WiiU. Now that the NX might show up at this year’s E3 and see a holiday release date, I’m slightly worried if its going to succeed. There have been a few crazy rumors like Nintendo using cartridges again, the weird touch screen controller and the fact that its as powerful as the Xbox One. The processing power worries me the most since both Sony and Microsoft are rumored to release up-gradable versions of their current consoles to accommodate VR. I know that PlayStation VR helmet is going to have its own processor box since the PS4 isn’t as powerful enough to run its hardware and software efficiently. Not sure about the Xbox One VR stuff but Microsoft if trying to merge its PC and Xbox brands again so they’ll be on par with each other makes somewhat sense. If NX fails to get third party developers back on board because of goofy and under powered hardware, then what’s I don’t know what could happen next for Nintendo. Then again VR might not catch on the way Sony and Microsoft were counting on. Either way, Nintendo should be more forward thinking if VR is a bust and try not to alienate other developers.

I saw a Tenzarin post quoted and quickly decided not to post so, is this thing supposed to be the 3DS you take with you or what? the way they're making it, or the way they were talking about it, would basically be a 3DS on a charger

Honestly phones have enough power on them that all they would need is some decent buttons and they'd make perfectly fine game devices. either way nintendo is making phone games too now so whatever happens you'll stil get to play mario on the go anyway.

I only really played monster hunter on the 3ds, I don't think a phone could do that better because the 3ds still hasn't got that down. It really made this one time I was having my car fixed up as I sat in the waiting room for what felt like 3 hours.

You're chastising Nintendo for doing the tablet thing, but you think loving VR, which combines the worst failures of all three current console makers (Virtual Boy / Kinect / Move) is going to be the thing to take off?

CrashCat posted:Nobody really used the second screen well and all three platforms had a version of it at some point. That post also doesn't seem dead certain that VR will work but rather that Nintendo will get "locked out" again for being behind on power, which is a very real threat. How many multiplatform titles did we get for Wii U again? How many after the launch window? it's been decades since nintendo was a serious option for multiplatform 3rd party titles, I don't think that's an issue at all.

CrashCat posted:Yeah it probably can't happen at this point, no matter whether they need it or not I don't think it's a definite "3rd parties can't go on Nintendo platforms". If Nintendo could finally put out a console that isn't outright limiting to 3rd parties (with gimmicks like Wii or Wii U, or being cartridge based like N64), and wasn't selling terrible like the GC, 3rd parties would probably find good return investment on Nintendo ports. Also, is the narrative now that the GC had terrible 3rd party support? It was certainly not as much as PS2, but at the same time it definitely had a bunch of stuff as well, and it felt like it was significantly more support than what the Wii U got.

How many multiplatform titles did we get for Wii U again? How many after the launch window? With its underuse in most actual games, it probably would have been better off as a peripheral, but I definitely appreciated what use it did get, especially when it allowed for asymmetrical gameplay (Wii Party U / Mario Party / Nintendoland justified its existence entirely for me) and being able to play games without having to be tethered to a TV. I hope the NX winds up being what we all expect it to be with the console / handheld combo that can work together or separately, because that would be everything I liked about the gamepad without all the issues people actually had with the gamepad. As for being underpowered or whatever, that's never felt like a problem to me wrt actual games on the Wii U, since they know how to work around their limitations to make games that are fun to play and don't look dated since they're colorful and nice to look at instead of the greybrown motif that still permeates most current-gen games. I mean don't get me wrong, it would be great to have those third party multiplat games just to keep the userbase up which leads to more games I give a poo poo about, but as long as Nintendo has a good stable of their own titles, I could personally care less about those games since I'm just gonna play them on PC anyway where I never have to worry about backwards compatibility. So I guess what I'm saying is that I'm okay with them trying out new gimmicks and trying to innovate as long as it doesn't put them out of business, because even when it doesn't work out there's usually at least something I like about what they did. edit: What was Sony's version of the second screen anyway? I remember Xbox has SmartScreen, but bafflingly they just kinda announced it as a thing and proceeded to do exactly fuckall with it and seemed to immediately forget it existed. raditts fucked around with this message at 16:22 on Mar 25, 2016 |

Yeah, the GameCube definitely had decent 3rd party support from the big publishers like EA and Activision. A lot of the smaller devs though went PS2-only because it was so successful in terms of sales.

raditts posted:... The Sony version of a second screen was split between Remote Play on PSP/Vita, companion apps on tablets (mostly from Ubi games), and a second screen option was actually put into the Playstation tablet app but I never saw it used. It has instructions in the app on how to use it as a second screen though, maybe there was some game that actually did. Needless to say Remote Play is the only use out of those anyone cared about (and similar to that feature you liked about the Wii U).
