Today, one bold statement was made. One so bold that it can said that one Japanese developing team are aiming to make difference in the video game industry. The company of which I am speaking of is none other but Monolith Soft.
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.
Looking forward to see what Japan has in store. They really need to wake up considering how this current gen went. If they want to get back in the game, they'll need to deliver AAA content that matches up to the current game western developers are doing
It seems to me that in this generation, a lot of bold statements are made by developers, almost on a weekly basis, so much so that they've diluted the impact such statements used to have in the past when their words were at least backed up by actions.
Although saying that, I remember I was stupid enough to fall for the hype for The Matrix videogame and how it would change gaming forever. I felt like such a fool for believing the hype the developers made when the reviews came out and when I eventually played the game.
Saying that you want to "wow players" is a pretty generic statement but here's hoping that there is substance to that. Nonetheless, it's good to know that a Japanese developer acknowledges the failings of the Japanese industry and feels pressured and driven to deliver a new HD experience on the Wii U.
"Our goal is to become something like the developers of the Fallout series, Bethesda Softworks."
so their next game will have a lot bugs eh?
jokes aside, they made xenoblade, i expect great things from them.
i know that i will be Wowed! by the next gen game Monolith studio makes. i mean after playing Xenoblade Chronicles.With Wii U power and Gamepad the possibilities are endless.
