NowGamer: EEDAR's Jesse Divnich thinks next-gen consoles are still on course for 2013
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.
it depends on how threatened MS and SONY feel from the Wii U.
but at the same time if they wait a couple of years people will have got past the new console craze with the Wii U and see that the two new true next gen consoles are the next step. it wont hurt them to wait a couple of years imo. as long as they make the wanted jump to next gen they will be fine. but then it will lead to the war between MS and Sony again.
We dont even know it's actual specs and we've barely seen what it's capable of so it's all speculation anyway.
In my opinion, i think Sony will do the same thing as they did with the PS Vita, reveal at the Playstation meeting 2012 in January and release it Q1 2013.
In fact, i believe it'll be almost a repeat of this gen with MS being next one to reveal their Next gen plans and Sony releasing theirs last.
2013 is when the 8th gen begins. WII P will see it in 2020.
2013 is a solid guess - exhaust the currently announced games schedule, then move on
Xbox 720 for an E3 2012 reveal, Halo 4 announced as launch title.
No need for a new PlayStation yet. They still haven't fully explored what it's capable of yet.
