#15689 Dislike button/Where's the delete button?

Posted by AMAC on 17 July 2011 - 08:50 AM

Do you mean for statuses? There's unlikely to ever be a dislike button, for the same reason that negative reputation can't be given. A dislike button, would most likely just cause problems between members, with some people being offended if they received dislikes.

There isn't a delete button. If members were allowed to delete their posts, it could disrupt the flow of conversations. If you have a reason why one of your posts should be deleted, you should inform the moderating team and we'll decide whether to delete the post.


#4394 Wii U Graphical Demo in case you missed it.

Look at the attached pictures of the Spaceworld Zelda tech demo and Zelda: Twilight Princess. There's quite a big difference. If the new Zelda tech demo is already beyond PS360 level, a Nintendo IP at the end of WiiU's life cycle is going to look awesome.

#4333 New Controller Limitations?

Posted by Aaron Barton on 08 June 2011 - 03:08 AM

It's easy to assume that a new system will support multiple connections of its controller for multiplayer.  But I slowly grew wary as I realized here that Nintendo has shown no specification for this, nor have they shown the system being used with more than one Wii-U controller.  They have shown only one Wii-U controller with up to four additional Wii Remotes at once.   See this quote from an interview:

Miyamoto: Right now I'm planning that people can still be able to use their Wii Remote controllers that they already have, which means this time you now have five controllers to play with. Iwata: You mean this new controller, and four Wii Remote Plus controllers for a total of five. Miyamoto: Right. Five controllers. And we have people play in many combinations.

They don't exactly confirm it either way, but I don't like the sound of it.

Consider that the Wii-U console needs to process the video for each screen to be transmitted wirelessly, and you see just how dangerous it is that they allow only one Wii-U controller for processing or wireless bandwidth limitations.  Not to mention cost limitations, as it's clear that this would run higher than your typical 360 pad.  They may have designed this whole setup so that they don't really expect you to have any more Wii-U controllers than the one it comes with.

If this is the case, I'm extremely disappointed.  You couldn't even make the four swords concept work on this system as it existed on Gamecube.  All of the obvious applications such as having your plays in a football game on your personal screen are suddenly a lot more gimmicky.  It's not going to keep anything secret in multiplayer -it's just going to clean up the TV interface.

I need confirmations before jumping the gun, but I'M NERVOUS.


#3969 IP.Board has a reputation system - do you want to enable it?

Posted by Feld0 on 04 June 2011 - 02:52 PM

I just tried that. Nothing happens. Are you sure this isn't a mod/admin only thing.

...turns out it was an admin-only thing. But not anymore. :P

I fixed the permissions. Every registered member should be able to see the reputations now.
