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.
Take a page from Square's Lightning and make Zelda a little more "titular".
I would've appreciated the article a whole lot more if he didn't mention that it's cause of sexist reasons that she's not protagonist. I'm all for Zelda having her own game, but it should done FOR ITS SAKE. Not to pander, not to fulfill some people's wishes just cause they're tired of Link (or ignoring him in the case of this author); they should make a game about Zelda herself because it would be interesting and fun. I'm all for having a female heroine and all, but it annoys me when people put the emphasis on her being a chick. Who cares. This shouldn't be political, this shouldn't be about fulfilling some kinda fairness, it should be about storytelling, as it always has been. Also, if there is a Zelda game, they shouldn't just cut out Link and make the bad guy a woman as well (as most girl power things seem to do; omit strong male characters and make the villian a woman, if the undertones of this escape you, don't worry). I think it'd be awesome to see Zelda in front and Link helping her out as normal. As I said, the game should be done for its sake. Not cause 'wah, she's a chick why can't she be protag'
Don't create games just to appease "people" like Anita Sarkeesian and Adam Sessler.
We all know how well that went, with Zelda Adventure on CDi...

But I believe the author is really way too young to even know about that dark age of video games...
