This week on Sessler's Something, we're right inbetween the launch of the PS4 and that of the Xbox One. We've had reports of some bad PS4 units, but what can we make of those reports? How bad is the problem? And will Microsoft's launch be any smoother?
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.
That's the thing, this is why we're now seeing more serious competitors in the genre. Game Freak has just been coasting by, doing the bare minimum in innovation for the last 20+ years. They need to get with the times. Hire more devs, give more dev time to foster creativity, etc. But now that they can't get away with that bare minimum they're trying to sue their competitors out of existence. It's disgusting.
been saying this since sun and moon.
gamefreak just isnt used to, still isnt used to, the console market. they did well on the handheld space but as a complete 3d developer z they fail miserable
the last two pkmn gens look like gamecube games. not to mention the bugs at launch.
but uve seen the ridiculous anount of copies sold at launch too.
Realistically though palworld Pokemon with guns featured so many themes and concepts that Nintendont
There's no way they would make a game where you could use realistic weapons or have pals slaving away.
They're not the same genre at all they just feature similar characters
I pretty much agree, two editions of the same game shouldn't even been a thing at this point. The foundations are solid, but the lack of content and having a lived in world really let the latest games down.
Two editions worked way back in the day as a gimmick hey your mate has different Pokemon in blue than you have in red so trade them but nowadays it's pointless we don't have any of those limitations system links not really a thing anymore and two editions feels exploitive nowadays like they are targeting kids to double dip
why would they do that when the fanbase is still willing to buy whatever low-effort and low-cost crap they are churning out? they are out to make as much money as possible with as little investment as possible and say what you want but GF is excellent at that front mainly because the fanbase allows them to. Nintendo is saying nothing because they are making money.
The article is actually Gamesradar's. MSN just used their page like a URL shortened link.
It's straight up bullying with mooney and using the government laws as a tool to do so. They should be fined.

Enjoyed Atari 50: The Anniversary Collection? It's time to welcome in The Wider World of Atari, with a huge new expansion to Atari 50.
Neat little collection. The majority of Ataris games don’t hold up that well but there are some arcade/console games that I still enjoy. I’ll definitely get this and I’m glad I waited as I wouldn’t want to buy digital DLC for the first collection
hard to take mr 1080p rules but graphics don't matter seriously
This guy was ok on Xplay but since his dismissal he's been spewing nonsense every time he opens his mouth. Can't take him seriously anymore. And his head is too big for his body lol
This guy again?
Why can't he be like G4TV and go away.
To everyone who says this guy used to be level headed and neutral, I must say no way.
I used to watch that xplay show a decade ago, and this guy has always been a Xbox lover. That's fine and all. He likes Xbox. About 5 years ago though, it morphed into something much worse. He must be on the payroll because he was ALWAYS the first one to state how PS3 multi plat titles were visually inferior and that it mattered. So how can he have any credibility when now he downplays every advantage the Sony machine has over the One?
Come on Sess , the 1+ million PS4 pre-orders were World Wide.
Oh, great. It's Sessler...again...
