#309320 Post One or Two Interesting Facts About Yourself

Posted by NintendoReport on 20 February 2015 - 08:12 AM

Post one or two interesting facts about yourself that probably no one here knows about.

 

  • Aside from performing magic, I have performed fire and glass eating.
  • I run a fan news site around a basically defunct gaming dev/publisher: novalogic. http://novacommand.com/
  • Your turn. What don't we know about you?

    I think we have to conclude that Nintendo's people probably know what sells better (and what is therefore a better long-term business decision) than the small segment of hardcore fans represented by forums like this one. 

    I know but I just want to be angry

    I liked the commercial. Shows off the handheld and games pretty well.

    Good points.

    But honestly, I feel Nintendo can eliminate a ton of this crap by simply marketing their games effectively. putting out high quality screenshots and videos all over the web (YouTube, create and send to ign etc...).

    With X especially, unless you already own a wii u it was nigh impossible to see a good look at the footage.

    If you see the YouTube videos, the "screenshots" all over the web, etc., they all look incredibly muddy, washed out, etc.

    Then... You see the "direct" that moment Monolith put out and it's like "what the ohmygoshijustvomitedthewheatiesiateforbreakfastbevausethislookssofreakingamazing!"

    It looks nearly like a different game because the difference between conpressed, decompressed, and decompressed again by the time it shows up anywhere. Then that crappy conpressed video gets a screen grab taken and compressed again into an even more crappy conpressed JPEG.

    It actually makes me a little angry as this would be so freaking easy to fix by sending press kits with high quality screens and videos to the major players. And it would cost nearly nothing.

    And the stinking media sites KNOW THIS. and they choose to use junk screens of junk videos.

    When I show people the latest gameplay and tutorial video they unanimously freak out and have to have it.

    Before then, they've heard of it a bit and weren't impressed.

    It's all in the presentation.

    Come on Nintendo.

    Yes, we appreciate that you are focused on the GAME, not on swindling people out of their hard earned money.

    But dadburnit, get with the program and have one or two people focus on marketing it right and leaving the industry with a proper high impression of the game.


    Of course the media knows what they are doing to this game. They arent covering this game, because they are paid pr mouthpeices for AAAAAAA publishers. Nintendo refuses to play their reindeer games, so they give them gimped coverage, and the anti nintendo 'nintendo is backwards' narrative, because AAAAAAAA publishers want to make sure you know games that work the way they are advertised, work the moment you buy them and put in the disc, come complete for the buying price, instead of half a game for full price with a season pass sold seperately to get the whole game, is backwards because it doesnt have arbritrary feature that is nowhere near the big deal people have been brainwashed into thinking it is.

    Voice chat is a nice feature. It is NOT a necessity for a game to not be worthless crap. The game actually WORKING when you put the disc in the machine, IS. But dont tell that to the media, thats not the picture their AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA retainers want to paint.

    . There is no longer an enthusiest press for videogames, only extended pr mouthpeices.

    Besides, there is no amount of advertising than cut through an entire generation of publisher media brainwashing.

    People who are saying this:

    Does more, and looks better, than this:

    Xenoblade-Chronicles-X-24.jpg

    Are beyond the ability to objectively assess reality.

    Thats the audience AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA publishers spent so long conditioning and brainwashing. Former Activision blatantly admit it, and laugh at them, hell the industry at large even admitted it again at this last dice.

    'Our industry has conditioned, trained, cultivated and capitalized on 'gamers’ “sense of entitlement.”

    “As we’ve seen this year, we may need to defend ourselves against our own, carefully cultivated, hardcore audience,” -Tracy Fullerton (Thats what you get, for marginalizing the original audience, for the slobbering obnoxious crappers we stayed inside and played videogames to get away from, because they can be manipulated and exploited for easy reliable money.... At the expense of great games. Entire industry should be ashamed.)

    the 'Gamers' spoken of here, are the AAAAAAAAAAA audience. As stated by the very people who spent years creating the behavior, they are a bunch of tools, who have been brainwashed to respond to superficial bullcrap.

    Like veins in eyeballs.


    This is why I am done with mainstream media and gaming. I am fine with owning my nintendo console and having their quality games. I could care less about third party. F em! Would love for it to not be this way but this is what we are left with. At least for me. Bring on XCX

    The industry, and coverage, is controlled by AAAAAAAAAA pubs. Incumbents who would REALLY like the narrative of 'lol nintendo' 'Backwards Nintendo' 'Nintendo is teh kiddies' to stick, instead of, 'Hey, Nintendo makes high quality games with lots of content, that gives all tha content for the price of buying the game instead of making you pay 60 bucks and 20 bucks a pop for 5 dlc packs to get an actual complete game, and the games actually work the first day you buy them, the first time you stick the disc in the system.'

    But you gotta love "nex gen" eyeballs yo!

    I mean you can't enjoy a good RPG without more veins in eyeballs. Lol it makes me laugh how this garbage suckers people in so easily.

    Miles and miles of gang bangers and prostitutes or aliens and amazing vistas...? You decide.  :)

     

    Thanks for confirming GTA5, I just pulled the 100 from a quick search and I figured it probably wasn't precise... and wow it was way off hah.


    Here is an uncompressed version of the wallpaper in OP in case someone wanted it. It is 2560 x 1600. Just click on it for full size.

    It claimed to be 100 but it's not even close to that. Not even sure it's half that. Suffice to say much smaller. However remember it's not just size but design. XCX has a better world design than anything on the market. Only Xenoblade itself comes close in utilizing full 3D space plus the art design.


    Yeah, at first r* claimed it was 100, then they canged it to 49, then I guess it turns out that wasnt really the case at all, it was actually 30 square miles, and that included nearly half of it being the ocean, so it was actually only like, 18 or something.... And the city itself was only a small fraction of that...

    So, going by the land that you actually play the game on, X is like, 8.5 times bigger than gta5, not even counting the fact that unlike gta5, which is basically completely flat design wise, X has layers upon layers to explore, like theres the flat ground, with the normal hills and mountains and stuff, but over it is this huge earth canopy dome thing you can fly to the top of, and theres stuff to do up there, and then theres an expansive cave system under the ground, all in the same square miles of area at times.


    #309125 Aonuma says Zelda Wii U will push the hardware to its limits

    Posted by BanjoKazooie on 17 February 2015 - 02:44 PM

    Yes the WWHD was very much a way for the team to familiarize themselves with working with the system, and I think that the fast sailing might have been a test to see how much the new hardware was capable of loading at certain speeds, because the boat speed is very similar to Epona's speed.  Also, The visuals for both the games are similar, while Zelda U is obviously far superior, and is almost a mix of SS, TP, and WW.  I think for Zelda U, the team is made of a lot of young folks, and experienced veterans.  Also, I think Aunuma loves to make extremely different games but is stuck with the Zelda franchise, so he personally loves to drastically change things up and experiment.  He was once tasked with making Ura Zelda, and when he hated just rehashing the OoT, he challenged Miyamoto and ended up making IMO the best Zelda game in the franchise's 3D history, Majora's Mask.  I also think it is clear he listens to fans and uses their input, to a degree.  He saw how upset a large portion was about the WW's childish graphics, so he gave us the gritty TP.  I know i have digressed a little, but what I am trying to get at is that This game is exactly what the fanbase wants right now, and I think he is going to deliver like he did with MM, WW, and TP.  This game is gonna blow my freaking mind!

    So in otherwords freaking massive. What pushes Wii U more. Zelda or XCX.

    Well we were, we were confident that this would be a well polished title. Aonuma has been great for a while now. I thought his latest work, a link between worlds was outstanding, especially with a lot of young developers around him. I reckon he'll bring that sort form to this game.  




    #309075 The Last Guardian TM abandoned

    Posted by 3Dude on 16 February 2015 - 10:37 PM

    Eh, idk why everyone was so excited for a game that looked mediocre and has zero gameplay footage.


    Pedigree.
     
    And it did have gameplay footage. The second half of the e3 trailer was all gameplay. And it looked, like it played like a team Ico game, on a grand and fantastic scale. The games predecessors, Ico and SotC are untouchable experiences to this day, monuments of a time when videogames were on a path to amount to something more than the garbage everybody wants them to be today.

    They're real, and this man was lucky enough to catch them in action… 

     

    This is why I won't bother standing in line on release dates anymore. I will either try and get a pre-order in and cross my fingers it goes through, keep trying other online avenues or stopping in store well after they open.
