#18747 Make a wish and ruin someone else's

Granted, but there are twice as much third-person shooters.

I wish a woodchuck could chuck wood.


#11466 Could "The Conduit" be Nintendo's halo?

Posted by Biohazard on 29 June 2011 - 03:37 PM

I've been wondering why [(Insert 3rd party name here)] would make The Conduit on the Wii when other consoles would be better suited(Don't get me wrong I love it on my shelf) due to it's HD and hardware capabilities. If they plan on making The Conduit an all time exclusive this could be really good for Nintendo since there aren't many exclusives that would appeal to the "Hardcore" gamer of the Ps360 and a exclusive like this could change that. What do you think?


High Voltage Software made The Conduit for the Wii to prove that the console could display graphics as good as the HD twins. They could make it for the HD consoles, but that would be too easy and would easily get lost in the crowded FPS market. Having it on the Wii would make it standout.


#10464 Jack Tretton (PS CEO) talks Wii U

Given that not only Sony essentially copied the Wii-mote's design with the Move, they are also planning on making the PS4 less powerful to cut costs and market the system to girls. This all makes Jack Tretton's trash-talk ineffectual.


#4556 I think there's a handheld better then the 3DS.

But back to the original question I'm surprised that so many people aren't really convinced about the PSV.


Should you be? This is a Nintendo forum, so it's full of blind Nintendo fanboys! :P

But, seriously, it's like the "PSP vs DS" debate. Better graphics and better tech don't always make a better system. Back when the PSP debuted in E3 2004, Sony's first handheld dwarfed the DS. Other than having Dreamcast/PS2-level graphics, it had all sorts of options and multimedia features that hardcore gamers salivated over, while the DS just had a touch screen. However, thanks to Nintendo's marketing and the games, the DS became a huge success in spite of all of the PSP's functions. While the multimedia features were impressive, it also became a detriment, at least to me, because when the handheld launched, I saw more UMD movies than games. The PSP became paperweight until great titles like Syphon Filter: Logan's Shadow, Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories, and God of War: Chains of Olympus saved it from heading to the buyback. Overall, I felt the PSP was a great handheld.

I hope the same goes for Vita, but the handheld didn't surprise me all that much. The PSP did things that wasn't imagined in handheld gaming, while the Vita is everything that I expected it to be. It displays better graphics, supports better online, and incorporates touch controls. So far, only 40 titles have been confirmed, and only handful of them appeal to me, so I don't plan on plopping down $300+ for this at launch. The same went for the 3DS.
