Hideki Kamiya, producer at PlatinumGames, is known for making very harsh and frank comments on Twitter. A few days ago, he’s made another one, saying: "The Nintendo Switch’s Home Menu is a piece of crap, all of the sh***y gigantic game icons are lined up in a row, but the rest of the games are tossed into a trash can called ‘All Games’ ... I wonder have they (the people that made the menu) ever played the Nintendo fan boys’ Switch?"
Slava Lukyanenka, the producer and creative director of S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Heart of Chornobyl, offers an insightful look into the development of the much-anticipated sequel. He delves into the significant impact that the ongoing conflict in Ukraine has had on both the game and its team, sharing how these challenges have shaped their approach.
Palworld developer Pocketpair has responded to this morning's dramatic decision by Nintendo to file a patent infringement.
Palworld is better, but Nintendo has$$$$ They can fight it all they want, but will absolutely lose. It is a blatant Pokemon rip off. I do wish them luck though.
The character design is NOT the issue here. Pokemon patented bullsht. You can patent "Throwing an item to capture a virtual character and another action to release an item that releases a combat character onto virtual world" but my god that is vague as fuck and shouldnt hold in any court...and the kicker? it was patented AFTER palworld was made.
If this lawsuit goes through that is literally going to work on every single monster capture game,
Like the other guy said, this has nothing to do with any of the designs. This is Nintendo patent trolling. It's like Rockstar suing another game if they have a guy opening the car door and yanking them out to steal the car because that's why you do in GTA so therefore that game is infringing on GTA's "patent". And that's the reason why Pocketpair is fighting this because if they lose this opens the doors to MORE lawsuits of this kind.
No they weren't. That was proven false. And, again since people don't seem to understand, this is not a copyright lawsuit or about stolen content/assets/designs/etc. It's a patent lawsuit. So far all the possible patents I've seen were filed by Nintendo 4 months *after* Palworld released.
The catching mechanic patent was filed even before Arceus was released, I dont know which ones you have been watching because all the ones I’ve seen were before Palword came out
(Though not all have been approved in the US yet, just in Japan)
The patent for the catching mechanic was filed July 2024 and granted August 2024. It was filed on top of a separate, "parent" patent that had been filed in 2021. Nintendo filed new patents and had them expedited just so they could sue Pocket Pair/Palworld.
it's so dumb. if that patent holds any water in court - any monster capture game is done and gone. cnts.
Source that says it was filed in July? I couldn't find it. And everything I can find states that it typically takes around a year or more for patents to be approved.
People want Nintendo to lose as a big middle finger to the company, but if Nintendo wins then they set a precedent for others to follow which could be bad for Nintendo themselves if they end up infringing on a patent owned by someone else
The one I'm reminded of is, a few years ago Sony patented something to do with AI controlling a characters moments in a game to "help get past difficult or grindy parts" of a game
Mario kart 8 deluxe had a the auto acceleration and auto steering technology implemented, so potentially if that came back for mario kart 9 could possibly open the door for Sony to sue them if it's close enough
TechRaptor writes, "We Talked to Dragon Age: The Veilguard Game Director Corinne Busche about player choice, companion relationships, and of course romancing those companions."
Everything about the switch is. Some people just accept the truth and move on while others fool themselves into thinking it's not and apologize for all the switches cons and joycons.
The ps5 will most likely be 400dollars and be more than 20 times more powerful than the switch and able to do a lot more while switch will be 300dollars. My point is that other companies like sony tries their best to give customers amazing hardware and quality games for a consumer friendly price while Nintendo doesnt. The xbox and playstation will have proper pricing deals for older games and consoles while Nintendo barely drops prices for their games or consoles. The switches joycons are rubbish and the switch lite is of such poor quality but fanboys like to apologize for Nintendo and their shoddy products
It really is
Well, he sure isn’t wrong, but I don’t hate it as much as I hate the Xbone’s.
@Doge
My problem with your comment, is that you’re try to deflect what the actual article was stating which was the “home menu”. It had nothing to do with Nintendo games being on any other platform.
That’s where your ignorance and childish behavior kicked in and like I stated earlier it was stupid to bring something like that up. No one was talking about the quality of games, no one was agreeing with OP (whoever the hell that is) and no one even brought up the PS4.
Your recent comment still doesn’t make any sense, you can argue by yourself. I’m not wasting my time arguing with a fool.
Disagree all you want.....
