Next-gen consoles will fail and studios discussed scrapped Wii U projects at DICE 2013, according to remarks alleged to have come from a developer.
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.
Everything is so up in the air with the next-gen situation - so much rumour, so much speculation. The end of this year is going to be fascinating to watch! *grabs popcorn*
I think with the games WiiU has that we know secures a future it's ps4 and 720 that need to worry ??
Yeah because these games
LegoCity
MonsterHunter
Wonderful 101
Beyonetta2
Pikimin3
Mariokart,i think it will be out this year
X or Xenoblade2
Windwaker
Yoshi's yarn
Project CARS
WiiFitU
Gearbox WiiU FPS UE4
Dual gamepad support
NFC Games
Just arn't enough to keep gamers happy ? yeah right,these cancelled games are cancelled untill ps4 and 720 come out,and by that time WiiU will have sold nearly 20 million units as i think there are games that will start to really shift WiiU's,ps4 and 720 will have sold nothing let's see what these selected 3rd party's do then ?
Plus these 3rd party's will have no chance of profiting if they leave out WiiU at that stage because not only will wiiu have a healthy fan base,it will have the best catalogue of games that early in a consoles life in history.
WiiU will fail cause nobody will fall for a console with a short tech life span twice.
PS4 will have yet another 10 years or spectacular run, 3 succesfull times aint luck kids.
Nobody knows what will happen with the Wii-U or the PS4 or the next Xbox. The Wii-U is still in it's infancy and Sony and Microsoft's consoles haven't even been announced.
Nobody knows how it's all going to play out.
So saying next gen consoles will fail and the Wii-U is in trouble is ridiculous.
