Been some articles on the web recently about an interview Reggie Fils-aime did with USA Today where he implied online gaming with the Wii would be free. To quote the key Q&A:
Q: You're not pursuing a subscription model?
A: We view online gaming as essentially an enhanced way to enjoy the gaming experience and drive more sales of hardware and software.
Q: How do you extend your online strategy to Wii?
A: It's the same premise. We will offer online-enabled games that the consumers will not have to pay a subscription fee for. They'll be able to enjoy that right out of the box. The Wii console is going to be Wi-Fi enabled, so essentially, you'll be able to plug it in and go. It won't have hidden fees or costs.
It's interesting, because at first glance one might get the strong impression that all online gaming on Wii will be free. But take a close look at what Reggie said - there are some finely-crafted statements here that give a lot of wiggle room.
First, notice that he didn't actually answer the question of "are you pursuing a subscription model?" The answer basically says "online gaming can make games more fun and help sell more hardware and software." Hmm....
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.
Hahahahahahahaha if people are going to nitpick things like that then anything can be twisted about statements made for 360 and ps3.
Just wow. Some people have too much time on their hands.
I almost posted this myself. Look, even the guy blogging admits it's a stretch, but it is interesting how a seemingly straightforward answer can appear to be an evasion of the question.
