According to a recent research report, graphics quality topped consumers’ desired console improvements, following by adding games to a console’s total library. While not the most desired, controllers that are easier to use and single-player games were also popular responses.
After years of hammering out the dents in Early Access, Game Smithing is finally ready to unleash Soulstone Survivors.
Former PlayStation executive Shuhei Yoshida talks about how the company never really viewed Nintendo as competition.
yeh i can see that.
bk then, nintendo was rly successful with the wii, and they just did their own thing.
now nintendo is a juggernaut when it comes to first party games ; selling in the 10s of mio.
Not sure how he came to that conclusion of Japan
PlayStation has been in decline since the PS2
Aside from the Wii U Nintendo pretty much outpaced Sony in Japan, and not by a small margin
Huh?
Saying playstation is in decline since PS2 is like saying Call of Duty has been in decline since black ops 3… the point is COD is still selling gang busters everywhere every year
"Gex Trilogy is a happy throwback. The first game is a little clunky and occasionally laborious, but its sequels do better in their 3D expansion of its themes and idea. The main point of appeal is its connection to the period in which they were made. It’s full of comic quirks, zinging dialogue, and visual gags that scream MTV Generation. Across all three entries, the media hook and its tropes — from horror to Christmas to 1930s prohibition gangsters — work well to keep things fresh, fun and engaging.
That said, while there's a simplicity to the games themselves, the yesteryear technology and the sensibilities of many gamers may have moved on, making their baked-in fetch quests trying at times. Gex Trilogy’s value is bumped up by its invention and still very playable design aspects, but whether or not you can pit yourself through them really comes down to how much your nostalgic mileage varies, dude." - Tom Massey | NintendoLife
Yea Limited Run didn't get their dev kits until a couple weeks b4 launch. Something to do with Nintendo shunning Embracer Group companies. They're working on a fix, but yea I'm not buying it either until it works on Switch 2.
Great games > good graphics > good controller
To answer this question, take a look at the success of the Playstation series
The value of the console
The lure of graphics is always what gamers see first when getting a next gen console. But it's the idea of more games to play that really bring them forward.
Storage space is getting crazy now that we have to install the whole game. Even with the disc inside.
Who doesn't like better controls? Can't play games comfortably for long periods without it.
I love this last one. MORE SINGLE PLAYER GAMES. I'm ecstatic about that. Nothing wrong with multiplayer. But it feels good that not one gamer has mentioned the ridiculous idea that something like Horizon Zero Dawn needs multiplayer. One of the best single player games today. Not one. That's awesome. More single player please!
