Even more news is leaking in about Nintendo's next console. We've learned that it's being called Project Cafe, and we got some scoops on how the controller works. It's a lot to take in, and it certainly seems like a different kind of console, but what do the editors think of all this?
Hanzala from eXputer: "The cruel hammer of Nintendo has fallen. Farewell, 3DS and Wii U, you surely brightened my life and many others; you won't be forgotten."
Hanzla from eXputer inquires: "If Xbox can care about preserving its games and legacy, what exactly is wrong with Nintendo, trying to kill game preservation single-handedly?"
Ahh yes the good old game preservation of saving all your games to a removable hhd on the Xbox 360, taking it round your mates house, setting up multiple tvs to
Be met with “save data corrupted, please re download”
Or how about removing 360 games
From the store
, download them now or else, and, better hope to god that save data doesn’t corrupt, or it’s lost for ever
Nice one ☝️
This is just a scammy PR move to distract from the fact they are going digital only and trying to push streaming and subscriptions only.
No gaming company has pushed harder to remove ownership than Microsoft.
Without discs there is no preservation, preservation can't be done by the rights holders it can only be done by the consumers, anything else is a lie.
Nobody wants this. Sales or the lack of it in the case of XBOX is very telling. I wonder how the adorably all digital series X will fare. Adorably dismal perhaps?
Only time will tell, but for from someone like me suspecting that Xbox is trying to gracefully exit the console market, that "forward compatibility" team is trying to get Xbox games playing on Windows PCs. I mean, it's nice that they're not planning on exiting with a "enjoy your games while the hardware still works" message, so that's nice. They still have a brand to protect via Microsoft so probably feel obligated to have a better exit strategy.
Danish from eXputer: "Nintendo has historically gone against player-made content and emulation of its games. This has done much to harm the company's image."
They need to stop announcing these mods and fan remakes until they're finished. Finish it, upload it, and then if Nintendo dmca's it tough shit. Once it's online, people can share it around, even if the original download gets taken down.
This is all coming from the mouth of short-sighted fandom and grifting madness.
No.... it wont. There is a clear defined reason why they don't. This is nothing new. Make your own shi7 from your own original ideas especially if you are trying to capitalize of it it. Duh.
Yeah, hire people that have zero respect or understanding for an established process. Wow. Yep. Totally makes sense.
My guess is that Nintendo is going to utilize the concept of augmented reality in some form (Wikipedia - augmented reality: live direct or indirect view of real-world environment's elements are augmented by computer-generated sensory input).
Just how the new type of utilization will set it apart from competing systems like Kinect and PS Eye remains to be seen. Just like the IGN staff, I'm worried that the cost of the system, especially the touch screen controllers, will be too high. Nintendo must know that Wii had disappointed many gamers when it comes to the time the new control method of Wii kept felt fresh instead of a chore, although admittedly some games like Metroid Prime 3 really felt like a genuine step forwards in regards to gameplay controls. So Nintendo have to convince people that you want to play this system continuously for at least 5 years, and not leave it gathering dust.
Imagine hitting your tv screen with THAT controller!
Edit: I have a feeling the name "Cafe" may have something to do with the operating system. Google perhaps?
yeah i see those people after 1 year of using new pads. Broken LCD screen.
nicole needs a man lol i keed but her bit on the codename was stupid aswell
