I can't think of a single time I used voice chat for coordination between team members. Honestly I could do without a 10 year olds opinion of my mother. I think that was what nintendo was trying to avoid.
I couldn't agree more. I would add that anyone paying attention would see that AAA 3rd party developers are dying and consolidating. Big publishers have been crushing creative ideas in the pursuit of mainstream success. Nintendo is giving those creative people the ability self publish on their platform risk free. So trust me when I say there are some seriously spectacular indie games coming out for the wii u. The line between indie and AAA is blurring. Nintendo is weeding out the large pu...
Yes the wii u supports html 5. In fact it handles it really really well. I can port a game I made in html 5 to the wii u in 10 minutes. It also supports unity... Also nintendo is giving their development kits out deferred for a year with 6 months to return it for free. They also partnered up with unity to give the license out for free. So maybe an intelligent mind could see what nintendo is doing for the gaming industry.
@Acesonall... Shhhh! Don't tell everyone.... People want to bash on the Wii u's lack of content and support. What would they do if they knew there were over 700 indie developers currently on the nintendo developer portal?
I really wish nintendo would just release a console exactly like the other two. Then we could all have the exact same games on 3 different consoles so fan boys can argue over which version is better. I mean implementing a successful idea like having dual screens was obviously a bonehead move. Much like motion controls. I mean sony and microsoft would have come out with motion controls of some sort themselves if it was actually a good idea. Alas nintendo has only been in existence for a 100 ye...
Sony is doomed!
It comes down to the fact that the industry grew significantly at the same time development costs and time grew significantly with the introduction of hd and photorealistic visuals. Its a much more desired commodity while at the same time a less available one. Capcom is saying that now development time is going to double with the ps4 and xbone. I could see that being the case. AAA developers are expected to push the envelope graphically. Whereas indie developers are free to use the hardware t...
You know I don't care if it would sell hardware units or not. I just want the game! I would like to see it sell more units if they localized it. But, really I just want to play it.
Do you like to play video games? You can play new ones on the wii u.... If you only play games to run around and shoot people online odds are the wii u isn't the system for you. I'm a game developer. I'm developing a game for the wii u because I know people that own one will buy it. Not so sure about the sony and microsoft market. They only seem interested in repetitive action and eye candy. Obviously thats not everyone. I'll get a ps4 eventually when more titles release for i...
Controversial topics equate to ad revenue... click bait as it were. Gaming news is boring these days. Gotta have something to draw a crowd.
This really isn't on subject. Other than speaking against the general theme here. Nintendo's starting r&d on a new product that likely won't release for about 5 years. Of course this must be construed as them abandoning a console that was just released. I really can't get over the onslaught of hate coming from people toward Nintendo. I see where there could be some disappointment in their marketing for the wii u(or lack of). But, everybody owns a game company now, right? S...
I've never been so excited about a game.
You know who did think of 3rd party developers? Microsoft... and look how that worked out for them. Unless you yourself have a development kit and are currently developing a game for the platform I don't really see how you have an opinion. Do you know how EDRAM works? Do you know how a GPGPU architecture works? Do you even code? Do you even know what the constraints were in developing for the last generation?
I would have to agree... When I wake up on a lazy sunday I feel extra high tech grabbing the game pad and browsing netflix or the interwebs whilst making my coffee... Almost jetson's like..
A positive article on nintendo that isn't written in defense of a negative article... Crazy.
I'll be the anonymous developer that says the wii u isn't hard to develop for...
It did take awhile.. I hope that translates into a more polished experience. I loved the walking dead. This series seem much more fitting to the adventure genre. I mean just the shear amount of character back stories was amazing. I can't wait.
There is no way those games could run on a ps3 or 360... If this was the case then the retooled version of bayonetta wouldn't run at a smooth 60 fps on the wii u whereas its barely playable on the ps3. Clearly you know much about game development. (sarcasm)
@higgins78 You speak truth.
