Obviously, people aren't exactly getting their facts straight about Nintendo's newest console.
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.
Don't get why we can't put petty fanboyism aside and just enjoy video games. Seriously, console wars are the equivalent of kids in the playground arguing over who has the better toy.
These is the reality we have. Why do we have to destroy each other in a senseless war? And for games? That's just immature. You like games? Good. As far as I know, that's all what should matter.
I frankly really LOVED Gamecube, too many people dismissed it. It had 2X the power of PS2, much better graphics,(Oh but graphics don't much matter to a true gamer) tons of NINTENDO ONLY content, and that includes M for Mature. AAA games, that most people who bash Nintendo HAVE NEVER EVEN PLAYED. Now that said, Wii Was cool and all, BUT Nintendo should have made it,at least a little more powerful. Now, Wii U. The Graphics saturation point has ALMOST been reached. I mean look at games running on current gen systems. Nintendo, like it or not people is at least 25% or better (Newer tech, and if you don't understand that LOOK IT UP) more powerful than what PS3 is and it sells for around the same price. What I am MOST looking forward to is what Nintendo does with that added power. The next Zelda is the most Expensive game Nintendo has ever made. Graphics don't cost more now than then, in fact N64 cost many times more to develop for than PS1. Now Nintendo is on track to develop one of the BEST and biggest games ever.
Darn good read. Too bad the people who should be reading this probably won't.
All haters are idiots. Then again, people who can't accept the fact people have negative criticism about things are also tools.
Its just the way of life.
