Microsoft's GDC'08 keynote has just been wrapped up, during which a number of Xbox 360-related statistics were revealed again, like it's become customary during these kinds of events.
The article discusses a claim by an intellectual property (IP) expert that Nintendo likely does not hold patents strong enough to prevent the game developer Pocketpair from creating Palworld, a game that some believe resembles Pokémon. The expert suggests that Nintendo's legal challenges against Palworld could amount to nothing more than corporate bullying, as the patents Nintendo might be relying on are not robust enough to stand up to legal scrutiny. The situation could be seen as an example of a large corporation trying to exert undue influence over a smaller competitor.
Crazy how far they are willing to go over nothing rather than tell Game Freak to get their shit together and sort the quality of the mainline games out.
Personally I'd drop the two game bullshit, make a full on complete game, and take their time making the best game they can without relying on a silly battle gimmick they'll ditch after one game. Gimmicks out of battle is what they should be focusing on, beauty contests, berry making, secret bases, the underground, Seasons, events during day / night and post game content like travelling to a new location or something.
It's straight up bullying with mooney and using the government laws as a tool to do so. They should be fined.
Where does the time go?
Xbox discusses the brand licensing strategies connecting iconic video game franchises with the world’s most diverse fan base.
We asked MS, why are you so amazing and how do you come up with the ideas for creating such titles as Call of Duty and Elder Scrolls?
Statistics do not mean anything to Dark Sniper unless they are not from NPD or any official worldwide reports. Microsoft seems to be reluctant to state that 2007 was a decrease from their 2006 figures. Even more importantly the fact that their platform had a mudhole stomped in them by PLAYSTATION® 3.
But all is good to you Microslaves as long as you have your everloving attach rate figures right?
$niper
I wonder what the numbers will be across all platforms this time next year. Predictions anyone?
So no big announcements? That sucks.
dark sniper is no man, he is a WO-man. why even comment on this stuff if it means nothing to you, girl.
