In EA's latest European street date planning they currently list "Need For Speed: Carbon" (Nintendo Wii version) for November 3 2006. At the very least a good date for a global launch, but more likely this could mean an October launch for America and Japan. Nintendo has said before it was their intention to have the Wii out before the PS3 (which launches November 11th & 17th). This street date makes more sense than previous guesses, because Nintendo consoles always get launched on a Friday in Europe, and the 3rd of November is a Friday.
The new unit comprises over 500 developers representing the entire World of Warcraft development team.
I used to be anti-union, it kills productivity, investment and turns product mediocre. Their games suck anyways though so what was lost? Might as well get their people paid until they are dissolved.
Unions are necessary regardless of how you feel. You know how fked the working class would be without them. As if we're not already.
No they aren’t, regardless of how you feel. Unions make zero sense for skill based labor. They are for people who press a button every 10 seconds on an assembly line. “working class” is a made up term. I don’t care about corporations or developers, I just want good games lol. Killing your incentives to appease the lowest common denominator doesn’t lead to great games imo
I wasn’t trying to be offensive if I came off that way. The Union is an old mentality and I can see their usefulness but also the danger. We’re in the age of AI and robots and skill based labor. Unions can be dangerous these days. You could replace your entire workforce in one move. Checkmate. Look to the kiosk replacing workers in the 20 dollar minimum wage era.
Well run businesses don’t need unions. If you need a Union that business won’t survive anyway. Unless it’s propped up by the government with corporate welfare (which is the real issue). If you’re not going to spend some on your workers (Amazon, Google) then your welfare is cut off. No tax breaks. All you put together don’t match their wealth and resources, the union is a traditional memory at this point and counterproductive with this new enemy we face. They need a flying elbow from the top ropes. And by “working class is a made up term” I just mean we’re not a class system and even CEO Bobby Kotick puts in a days work lol. Or did.. It’s just a vague term that doesn’t mean anything no offense lol. People say “middle class” but that can change quick right? Up or down. That’s not a “class system”.
The Simpsons: Hit and Run, The Legend of Dragoon, and Chrono Trigger would benefit substantially from a modern remake.
The Xenosaga trilogy, the Wild Arms games, Xenogears, Parasite Eve, Dino Crisis, Suikoden. The Warriors game I know nothing about but it looks interesting. Anybody can do a list of games they want to see get modernized I would lose my shit if Namco brought the Xenosaga trilogy to modern consoles.
Modders have cooked up something pretty special – a Wii console which is small enough to fit on your keys. A wee Wii.
I guess I will be getting GOW and FOrza 2 on the 2nd and the Wii on the 3rd. Excellent.
ill be getting a wii + a ps3 at launch, i already got a 360.
So he thinks it will launch on a friday, and this date just happens to be a Friday, so he thinks thats it.
What would be cool, is if Nintendo announced that the Wii is on store shelves now!! Not right now, but later on. If they secretly shipped the Wii and retailers put them on shelves that night. How suprised would you be to walk in the store and "Holy $hit" theres a Wii!!
The secret would be leaked, but a suprise launch could only happen with a game, not a console. It would be cool though.
