In Vocalize Episode 2: Michael Pachter was Wrong About the 3DS, Furious Francis responds to Michael Pachter finally admitting the 3DS dominates the handheld market.
Hanzala from eXputer: "As Nintendo takes out 20 years' worth of stuff from Garry's Mod, I watch in shock, thinking why it continues to hurt and discourage its fans."
The irony that some of the most disgusting business practices come from companies like Disney or Nintendo, i can't even begin to understand what terrible damage was Garrys Mod making to Nintendo bottom line, imho they're getting pretty nervous about where they're heading in the future, handhelds are no longer something exclusive to Nintendo, from Steam Deck to many others, now you can play the latest games and pay a fraction of the price on Steam sales, so it's up to their exclusives, which just on their own would make hard to justify purchasing a closed overpriced hardware with outrageous price policies (Super Mario Odyssey is still 60 euro 6 years later!), and as a home console they're always underperforming compared to Sony or Xbox.
Look at how they handled Nintendo games being streamed or uploaded on YouTube in the past. They killed Yuzu and Citra even when they had nothing to do with ToTK being leaked, not to mention it was basically unplayable on emulation the week it was leaked. Smash Bros tournament, that was fairly recent. They shut down their online services without any care for purchases made. I bought a switch after skipping their last 2 consoles and handhelds but I don't plan on buying anything Nintendo in the future. They take things to the extremes, they legitimately hate their fans. They're honestly right up there with the likes of Acti, EA, and Ubi, only difference is that they disguise themselves as being family friendly all the while being shady.
A new patent recently published by Sony wants to gather biometric data of gamers to track whether one is being harassed using AI tools.
I hope this is one of those patents that never comes to fruition.
I already dislike the fact you can pay a significant amount for a online service buy associated games and content on said service and get banned from that service over potentially a misunderstanding the bans are already handed out for flimsy reasons
I'd rather see money invested in a ban that simply removes the offensive players ability to communicate with unknown players allow them to continue party chats with friends but not with Joe blow on cod.
Take my social security and bank account numbers too! Here’s a picture of my wife and our address.
At this rate I feel Sony will eventually sell a room to play games in it where they can monitor your every breath
I want them to censor erotic content by measuring my groin temperature so i dont get too distracted while playing black ops 2.
Terrible idea. Not only do I not consent to providing my biometric data, the potential for mishandling biometric data is almost a certainty. Positive stress and negative stress can produce similar changes in biometrics. Interpreting the precise emotion a person is feeling is not only invasive but could be easily misconstrued. I hope this never comes to fruition.
Sony has recently published a new patent that wants to dynamically handle the games' difficulty and gameplay based on the player's emotions.
This is something I might use. Sometimes I play some good games but they don’t have difficulty option and are a little too easy.
cool idea
cool idea for horror games especially
the way it's explained here sounds like it could never be forced hopefully, so that's ok with me
The title should be "Don't trust Pachter or IGN when it comes to ANY gaming related news".
So this is some guy's underhanded attempt to crap on the Vita? I'd be interested if the title reflected the content of the video, but the creator has just grouped himself with Pachter and IGN as far as I'm concerned.
Don't Trust Pachter or IGN period
Patcher sucks at his job, IGN sometimes are okay sometimes they are idiot nvm most of the time they are idiots lol
You know Francis, respectfully, you are totally blind when it comes to Nintendo. Nobody is suggesting that Nintendo is about to go out of business, because we know that Nintendo is profitable.
The question is whether or not Nintendo has made a bade move with the WiiU by releasing it first, and by releasing a console that just simply isn't "next gen" in terms of technology. Theres no question that Nintendo will release some good games that will appease their fanbase, but the fact is that the WiiU is going to struggle, and I would predict sales of less than 40 million for this console when it is all said and done.
I think that Nintendo will refocus their business to maximize their profit. It may not happen for a couple of years, but I strongly believe that Nintendo will continue to be strong and successful in the handheld market, but I think that they will become a third party developer at some point. If Super Mario games were to be available on PS4, XBOX 720, STEAM, Android, iOS and 3DS, they would make way more money from their software sales than they currently do. Nintendo's popular franchises would match, if not surpass Call of Duty.
The WiiU is a huge tactical error on Nintendo's part, and I think the failure of this console will change the game for Nintendo. Lets remember that there are shareholders that need to see gains on their investments. I think you're so in love with Nintendo that they can do no wrong in your eyes. At some point, I'm going to say that I told you so.
