This week, Luke and Larry pre-rank the 2018 E3 Presentations based on their importance for each company's future and talk about an update to Halo MCC.
Games Asylum: "Despite the popularity of The Karate Kid trilogy in the ‘80s, it didn’t gain anywhere near as many gaming adaptations as the likes of Back to the Future, Star Wars, and Indiana Jones. The first film saw a considerably rough entry on the NES, published by the notorious JLN, while the Amiga and Atari ST were blessed with a reasonably well received tie-in for the sequel. It seems that by the time the third film rolled around in 1989, attention had turned to the likes of Rambo, Terminator and Predator, with many early tie-ins for the Mega Drive being more violent and gung ho. It probably didn’t help that Part III was panned by movie goers either."
TNS: "Palworld developer's readiness to take on Nintendo's lawsuit is met with a mixed response -- mostly from the Japanese side of the player base."
Well, the good news is that this shows Japanese Twitter users are just as dumb as Western ones. It’s not a copyright-based lawsuit; if it were, things wouldn’t be as dire and concerning as they are. Nintendo is suing them for patent infringement, which should be a huge red flag for anyone who enjoys gaming, as Nintendo holds numerous patents over game mechanics that could significantly impact the market if they start enforcing them.
Seriously, they hold patents for features like fast travel and summoning companions or creatures to help you battle enemies. That’s the level of nonsense we’re dealing with here. So even if you’re a huge Nintendo b*tch, if you care about gaming at all, you shouldn’t be happy - let alone support them in this situation.
I honestly hope this lawsuit just gets thrown out of court, having a patent on game mechanics just shouldn't be a thing, especially when those mechanics are present in many games. If this goes through, imagine the hell on earth we'd go through as everyone starts tossing lawsuits around like missiles.
Sure, they are suing for patent, but it all started because pocketpair copy pokemon designs, otherwise Nintendo couldn't care less.
Nintendo decided that the Palworld developers needed to be sued. Realized they had no case for copyright infringement so went into their bag of tricks (patents) to see what they could stick em with.
I do think Nintendo needs to chill on some smaller projects, but in this case, it is a company purposely copying pokemon designs and promoting it as Pokemon with guns, then sell it for money and even try to sell merchandises (according to the articles), I don't think that is acceptable.
And sure, disagree with me, so you can act like you fight for the small guys and feel awesome or whatever.
Oh look another one who just THINKS they know what the issue is without actually reading into what is actually happening. Maybe read and come back so you can actually be up to speed on what the lawsuit is even about.
This lawsuit is really putting into perspective just how little people actually read the news. They just read headlines and fill in the rest with their own assumptions. This is why short form content is becoming so popular. People only have the mental capacity to digest bite sized pieces of information.
"it is a company purposely copying pokemon designs and promoting it as Pokemon with guns"
This entire statement is false.
You appear to not know the difference between copyright or patent.
You might feel that ripping off pokeman is not ok, but they are legally in the clear on that which is why Nintendo are not able to take legal action under copyright law.
Trying to sue them based on patent law however is rediculous, you absolutely should never be allowed to patent game mechanics like nintendo have with things like 'fast travel' and i hope they make very little headway with this. If you care abiut the future of this business, you would acknowledge the difference and not be shilling for Nintendo.
The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom developers share early ideas for the Depths they had during development.
I come from the future.
Sony won.
big time.
