monolith soft says C++ for the network guy... i thought C++ was Microsoft though.

I'm pretty sure C++ is just a standard programming language, and the one used to make games.

Microsoft just has some specific versions of c++. They cant own it.

Ok. .. this game looks awesome. But where is the rabid, frothing at the mouth need more pics hyper-super fan, gotta have more, let's talk about this game until we can't stand it anymore marketing?

It's a year at least away, Nintendo don't usually advertise, or push things so far away.
Just look at zeldo for example.
It gets an image or confirmation, then a year or two later a few screenshots, a trailer, and then it's released rather quietly.

c#(c sharp) is microsoft's failed attempt at taking the best of java and c++ and making it into their own language.

Well here's a song parody I wrote for Monolith a couple years ago before the game was announced and they were in the planning stages. It was in an article where they were saying they wanted to show that Japan can compete with the West and that they'd like to make a game the size of Skyrim. Someone made a comment about them wanting to be the very best that no one ever was so I wrote this.

 

We want to be the very best
Like noone ever was.
To make games is my real test.
To play them is my cause.
I will travel across Japan
Searching far and wide.
Each programmer must understand
The power that's inside!!!
Monolith!(Gotta show the world!)
It's you and me.
We'll show them what we can be!
Monolith!
Oh my right hand man.
In a world we'll make for them.
Monolith!(Gotta show the world!)
Lighting so true!
The press won't know what to do.
You help me and I'll help you.
Monolith!(Gotta show the world!)
Gotta show the world, Yeah.
Every game that I will make,
with slow and steady pace
I will stay up with no breaks
Cuz Japan's not second place!
Come on guys the time is right!
There's no bettter team!
Arm in arm! We'll win the fight!
It's always been our dream

Thanks for sharing the Nintendo recipe for failure. I was kinda hinting that the strategy sucks and they need to get their asses in gear.

It's certainly mis-guided at the start of a console's life, as it doesn't help them shift units or make an impact with their games, but I prefer it to the dudebro approach.
It's more of a longterm policy than selling your console at a loss and making more loses during the first 3 years and barely making your operating costs back the remaining 2 or 3 years of your console lifecycle other companies apply.

I'd love to see the amount they're spending on marketing. If it's over 1 million I'd be shocked beyond something that would be beyond shock.

The game is absolutely online multi. Monolithsoft is hiring netcoders out the wazoo.

Hmm....online, and the idea of mobile city's. ever watch chrome shelled regios. Now I have all sorts of ideas flying through my head.

[Rickhunter7]

This looks sweet! I was a little concerned that I didn't get to play Xenoblade for the Wii, Now I can rest assured knowing that I'll be able to play this.

[meitantei_conan]

I CANT WAIT FOR THIS GAME! Xenoblade was just....there are no words to describe it! so this game is ganna be even better! 

[nintendofreak247]

I was already extremely hyped for this game.

 

Then I learned that Hiroyuki Sawano, the guy who composed the music for Shingeki no Kyojin (Attack on Titan), is also the music director for X.

 

My hype train is unstoppable at the moment.

Ha, awesome.

A slight clarification, Monolithsoft said they wanted their NAME, to be big like Bethseda when people think of RPG'S, like people think of skyrim.

They werent talking about world size.

Skyrim is only 16 square miles, Xenoblade on wii already dwarfs skyrim.

I've been so waiting for X.

 

Now I'm even more excited.

 

I hate to say it, because it's so weird, but Attack on Titan has me hooked too.

Ah you're right. That's probably what I meant. Yeah yeah like size as in popularity. That's what I meant.

[RiasRed]

I just got started watching Attack on Titan this weekend and I love it. I thought it was going to pull a "Gurren Lagann episode 7" on me but I was wrong thankfully. Love that Sawano is composing music for X.

 

Hopefully I will get Xenoblade before 2014 so that I know a little of what to expect.

Wow! so then how many miles is Xenoblade???

Well, its hard to accurately measure because of the... unique map shapes and layering.... none of the maps are the same scale... And that ive been lazy.

Xenoblade actually makes it pretty easy because of the beacon and distance system. get exactly 1000 meters from your objective and look at the map. take pictures, upload, make a line representing 1 scale kilometer, make a grid, and there you go. count squares add fractions, and convert to miles.

Smaller areas like the colonies are around 1.5 to 2 square km, or a little over a mile squared, while larger ones tend to be 5 or even more.

heres a map of colony 9 with a scale grid.



Each little grid square is 100m, so 10 make up 1km.

Heres one of the bigger areas, eryth sea.

little squares are, again, 100 meters square.

Then many are even doubled beyond that as they are layered and you can literally jump from a hole in the top layer and explore the bottom layer.

The bionis maps area combined could easily be 50 square kilometers. Which is around 30 square miles. Thats not even counting the mechonis maps, which are huge.

This video shows the size pretty well.  Its sped up greatly, and you can actually warp between areas so you don't have to run the whole area everytime.

 

And all that is just a straight shot from one area and through 5 more, the uploader estimates you only see 10% of the areas he goes through.  The game is huge.  He ends up in Eryth Sea, the second map 3dude posted.

 

If X can dwarf that with the graphics we've seen so far, I'll be blown away.
