#17410 Kingdom Hearts Dream Drop Distance speculation!

Posted by Reaper Pin on 29 July 2011 - 04:23 PM

So, you've all heard of Kingdom Hearts Dream Drop Distance right? Well, I made this topic for all KH fans!
So, I've made some observations, you can all discuss it here!
Some things we know already-
New Allies Donald and Goofy wont be you your partners this time around! Do you have any idea of who they might be? Write about it here!
NEW ENEMIES?
you bet! Look at these 2 new emblems found on the Official Website

What do you think these could be? New enemies?
Randomly switching between Sora and Riku?
We know, this will happen, but how do you think the transition will occur?
Plot after the Mark of Mastery Exam?
We know that the MoME (Mark of Mastery Exam) is only a part of the game, but what do you think happens after it's over?
NEW WORLDS
This is possibly one of the most exiting news on the game, so do you think Toy Story will make it?
Discuss!


#17454 What could Nintendo have done to help the 3DS sell day 1?

Posted by AMAC on 30 July 2011 - 02:57 AM

In my opinion, there were three main problems with the 3DS at launch.

1) The launch line-up wasn't good. There launch titles seemed to range from poor to decent. There weren't any great games that people would have bought the system for. If Ocarina of Time had been a launch title, or if there was another big Mario/Zelda/Pokemon game, I'm sure a lot more people would have bought a 3DS at launch.

2) The price was too high in my opinion (Up to £220 in Britain). A lot of people would rather buy a DSi with several games than spend over £200 on a 3DS. Especially when the DSi has lots of great games, whereas the 3DS had a poor launch line up.

3) Nintendo focused on the 3D too much. Many people thought that the 3DS was simply a DS with a 3D screen. Most people would be unlikely to upgrade their DS simply to view games in 3D. I think that Nintendo should have made a bigger deal about the console's other features, such as the motion controls and the hugely improved graphics.

#16561 Film Thread 2011

Went to see Harry Potter on Monday, was absolutely brilliant. I imagine it wouldn't have been even better in 3D but I didn't want to pay the £2.60 extra ;) .

Thinking about going to see Captain America but I'm not sure yet.

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2, Rio, Rango, Cars 2, Kung Fu Panda 2, Puss in Boots, The Muppets Movie, and Arthur Christmas. Though starting with Puss in Boots none of those movies have been released.


#16014 Pay for online?

Posted by Ponkotsu on 19 July 2011 - 06:23 AM

Charging for online would easily be one of the most effective methods of making sure the mass market doesn't get into online play or internet features on the system. Nintendo's stated in the past that their goal is to get as close to the entirety of their userbase as possible online. Obviously, their lacking internet features and clumsily designed friend code systems as of far have been very effective in preventing their mass market base from getting online. I suspect we'll never see Nintendo charging fees for online as they continue to improve it, but due to the open nature of the new service they're working on for the Wii U with third parties, I'm sure we'll see paid subscription services for specific games and series from the likes of Activision, Ubisoft, and EA. Activision already has plans in that vein for Call of Duty and EA has already talked about basically focusing on making their sports games - Madden especially - all about online subscription services. Whether they'll succeed or these franchises will be hindered by these subscription services remains to be seen. But I'd definitely count on Nintendo to keep the core of online play and features focused on being free. It'd just be sort of an inconvenient XBox Live type paid situation with subscription games, all that entirely up to third parties' discretion - this part of the freedom of the Wii U's online service is part of why they're so excited for Wii U online, I suspect - while otherwise services like Netflix still require that you already be a paying subscriber to get any actual use out of the Netflix Channel for video streaming.

Nintendo's online itself should only get better while remaining free and keeping their first party games' DLC and so forth free, everything else being up to third parties. Larger companies like Activision, Ubisoft, EA, and so on will probably use their own services, just as Valve would have the Wii U connect to Steam. Then Nintendo, smaller third parties, and those that elect not to use their own servers or separate service connected to your new Nintendo online account would use Nintendo's standard free service that they're currently working on crafting with third parties. And things like DLC would probably be left up to third parties' discretion on whether or not to charge for it. There'll be significantly more internal space on the Wii U, plus the option of using big SD cards (like with the Wii and 3DS), as well as external hard drives, but Nintendo seems to thankfully be avoiding the pitfalls of gigantic forced installed and things like that, after what a mess of things those were on the PS3 and 360. A major reason console gaming effectively beat out PC gaming was convenience - you just pop in a game and go. The storage issue having been largely resolved on the 3DS and Wii U - and Nintendo has invested in holographic storage as well, so we'll likely see that for an insane amount of internal space in future platforms once the medium is both viable and affordable to integrate - we shouldn't have to worry about not having enough space for save files and most downloadable games. As such, I expect we'll be seeing a lot more DLC on the Wii U than on the Wii, like we've already begun to with the 3DS, but hopefully nothing along the lines of installing huge multi-gig chunks of games onto internal space or an external hard drive or SD card. Console and portable gaming should always be more convenient than PC gaming.


#10934 Waiting

Posted by Elric on 25 June 2011 - 07:49 PM

(if you like this poem, but have nothing to say bump up the reputation in the right corner )

Sitting and waiting
Waiting for nothing 
As nothing will await me 

On the curb I wait
Wait for something 

Some hope
Some kindness 


And for a moment,
A brief moment
A flicker of hope is there waiting 

Then, I look behind me
And see the remains and ashes
The ashes of all that I ever was

The dead corpse of my memories 

I sit back down
Waiting 

Waiting for nothing
