Max Level: "Remember back during E3 2008 when Microsoft dropped the jaws of many announcing that Final Fantasy 13 would be heading to the 360? That day, there was a chaotic tension that reverberated across the internet. Forum wars were waged, angry fanboy videos were uploaded, and the blood and sweat of thousands of nerds was spilled on keyboards all over the world. This ladies and gentlemen was one of the most shocking moments in this generation of gaming news, or in other words, a megaton."
Hanzala from eXputer: "The cruel hammer of Nintendo has fallen. Farewell, 3DS and Wii U, you surely brightened my life and many others; you won't be forgotten."
Hanzla from eXputer inquires: "If Xbox can care about preserving its games and legacy, what exactly is wrong with Nintendo, trying to kill game preservation single-handedly?"
Ahh yes the good old game preservation of saving all your games to a removable hhd on the Xbox 360, taking it round your mates house, setting up multiple tvs to
Be met with “save data corrupted, please re download”
Or how about removing 360 games
From the store
, download them now or else, and, better hope to god that save data doesn’t corrupt, or it’s lost for ever
Nice one ☝️
This is just a scammy PR move to distract from the fact they are going digital only and trying to push streaming and subscriptions only.
No gaming company has pushed harder to remove ownership than Microsoft.
Without discs there is no preservation, preservation can't be done by the rights holders it can only be done by the consumers, anything else is a lie.
Nobody wants this. Sales or the lack of it in the case of XBOX is very telling. I wonder how the adorably all digital series X will fare. Adorably dismal perhaps?
Only time will tell, but for from someone like me suspecting that Xbox is trying to gracefully exit the console market, that "forward compatibility" team is trying to get Xbox games playing on Windows PCs. I mean, it's nice that they're not planning on exiting with a "enjoy your games while the hardware still works" message, so that's nice. They still have a brand to protect via Microsoft so probably feel obligated to have a better exit strategy.
Danish from eXputer: "Nintendo has historically gone against player-made content and emulation of its games. This has done much to harm the company's image."
They need to stop announcing these mods and fan remakes until they're finished. Finish it, upload it, and then if Nintendo dmca's it tough shit. Once it's online, people can share it around, even if the original download gets taken down.
This is all coming from the mouth of short-sighted fandom and grifting madness.
No.... it wont. There is a clear defined reason why they don't. This is nothing new. Make your own shi7 from your own original ideas especially if you are trying to capitalize of it it. Duh.
Yeah, hire people that have zero respect or understanding for an established process. Wow. Yep. Totally makes sense.
Awesome read! Wish I could approve
Yes this very positive Nintendo news was handled by the online consumer as a Megaton. It has been many many moons since I have seen a single slice of great news taken so far. I am still confident that Nintendo supporters will have a blast partaking in the experience that is Bayonetta 2. Exclusively on the Nintendo Wii U entertainment system.
This for sure reminds me of the angry citizen outburst from the FF13 multiplat announcement
Rated E For Everyone
I've been here all along.
Yep it sure has been a long time since we haven't had a shocking announcement. The last one imo was Metal Gear Rising at E3 at MS's press conferance.
Wait .. Wasn't this a Xbox 360 exclusive ? ohh no i remember they acted like it was god send since it was similar to gow3 but not even close in quality,.
