Nintendo has been issued a patent for what is termed an "Invitation system for on-line video games." (US Patent No. 20070123353) Now, as we all know, this doesn't mean that any sort of system is immediately forthcoming. Nintendo, like any other company that is constantly working on new technology, files for patents all the time. Some get used, some don't, and some get shelved for possible later consumption.
While the mainstream media always sees things turning in favor of the hero, here are 6 games that own being a bad guy.
Pretty much all of these games listed are based around a morality system you don't have to be bad and you don't have to be good.
It seems to have left out some real amazing games like red dead redemption 1/2,ass effect and true crime la/ny
Armored Core VI?
Ok, I'm really missing something here. Just beat chapter 3 earlier this evening, unlocked A-rank Arena fights. I'm not seeing or sensing any branching paths or morality system and I've done every side mission and arena fight available to me up to that fight.
Is something big coming soon to branch the story?
No mention of Grand Theft Auto? Saints Row (original trilogy), Manhunt? Also The Suffering (depending on the ending you get).
Trevor in GTA 6 is a sadist and psychopath who dabbles in cannibalism. Should be top of the list. These game “news” sites should hire people that know games.
Nintendo has announced the SNES and Super Famicom games gracing the Nintendo Switch Online library this month, and there are some gems to enjoy.
Strange headline, as I thought the star of the show was Super RType. I almost bought RType Dimensions EX this last month and was just thinking, man I wish we had the SNES one somewhere on Switch. That's where I got my start w the series and I was beyond excited to see it drop this week!
Following the Wii U and 3DS servers being taken offline, Call of Duty Black Ops 2 and Ghosts are officially dead.
Hmmm..so maybe soon we'll be able to log onto a server and just send out invites to folks we want to play with? Sounds good to me.
I failed to understand what they are trying to patent.. someone please help me understand. Isn't that exactly what xbox live gamers can do? "Invitation system for on-line video games". As matter of fact if I am not mistaken, Sony is also working on something similar with home. When one connect to xbox live... you connect to a server... to play... online games... and I can send game invites or join my friends sessions... are they patenting... a different way of doing that?
Patents are weird that way, its in the specific wording. If nintendo mentioned once that it was an always online feature (something only the wii is capeable of) then the patent will ONLY apply to systems that are always on. This would make it completely different from XBox Live.
