While I get what he is saying, and I know how the "Public" can be annoying as hell and don't understand how a business actually works. But he is putting Nintendo in a bad light with his response even if it has some truth to it. Overall I don't agree with him. The Wii-U name was a horrid choice that confused the mainstream. It was a horrid name in that it reminded the "core" audience of the Wii. As far as I know all copies of Xenoblade were sold in NA. Europe localized it way before the US got it, which is why most were confused and outraged that it wasn't being released in the US as it was already translated into English for the European release. The work had already been done.

The sequel is already coming out in Europe and US without hesitation now, so that must mean Xenoblade must have met expectations in sales in Europe and the U.S. So while yes they don't make as much as a Mario or Zelda game, there is enough of an English speaking audience to support the localization. Namco learned this with Tales. They left the U.S. and Europe to dry for a while until their Facebook was overrun with disgruntled English speaking fans and now we have gotten pretty much every iteration of Tales.

JRPG's don't bring in the cash like they used too, but the cost of localization isn't that much and they usually sell enough copies to make a small return. The problem is these companies expect every game to pull in 5-10 million copies in the US alone and the ones that don't get shoved aside. Slowly they are realizing that any profit is good, even if its a million and not 5-10 million.

While I upgraded my PS4 to a 1.5TB HDD at launch, I have found the PS4 is very quick to install games from a disc and found it easy to delete some of my older games. Now on my X1 is a different story as they take so long to install that I am very careful on what I delete. But also though, if you have P.T. DON'T DELETE IT, as you won't be able to re download it again.

But if you do have lots of games you jump around on and don't want to reinstall or re download patches, I do suggest upgrading the HDD. In the case of something like P.T. delete everything you can and then backup to a USB Stick or USB HDD. This way you get to keep it. If you don't have P.T., and nothing from the capture gallery, just swaps drives.

I believe it's Nyko that has a new accessory that lets you use 3.5 inch HDD's, so you can get up to 4 TB of storage I believe. I have heard anything higher may cause issues, but I have not personally tested this as I don't have it.

Yes I'm a person, but I'm not getting anything steam box related. I would love to stream PC games to my TV, but with the Steam Box everything in my Origin account can't be, with Nvidia only games that show up in GeForce experience can be streamed (leaving out Origin, GoG, Steam games that don't show up).

Until their is a device that streams ALL MY GAMES, I'm not going to buy. Way to much segregation in the PC game market.

What if Microsoft loses Epic and Bungie... oh wait.

Thanks for bringing that up. I'll be looking more a bit into epic later unless someone could give some gist.

Was Epic a 1st party studio?

I was trying to look this up about Bungie. Epic has always been a third party developer but had a contract deal with MS for Gears of War with MS owning the gears franchise. Bungie i'm not so sure, I though they bought them and owned them. But it looks like they didn't sell them either.

I wonder if Bungie came to Microsoft and explained they didn't want to do Halo anymore and a deal was made that they get to go if MS gets to keep the Halo franchise. I don't know if MS owned Halo before as Halo was in development on Mac before MS bought Bungie.

The difference though is that Sony does own Naughty Dog completely. The only thing I could think of is if they owned them under a timed contract.

I think maybe what they mean is stuff like Square wanting to try and implement Vertical into the FF15 game engine for Airships (not exactly sure what they mean, I'm an Artist not a Programmer). They aren't sure if it will work. This makes me think it's more of a game engine limitation than a hardware one. If it was a hardware one, then I would think it would be centered around Nvidia's hardware. Meaning that AMD users wouldn't be able to play it just as the consoles since consoles are using AMD hardware and as far as I know, AMD doesn't have any special features that Nvidia gpu's can't do.

The only thing that would really limit these consoles hardware would be Polygon counts, texture resolution, rendering resolution, or CPU taxing tasks like enemy count being way too high or something. Again, I understand way more on what the GPU does than the CPU, so I'm not entirely sure what effects the CPU other than AI and enemy counts.

But I would rather have a Sequel and there will be a console version. They will adjust their vision until it works on the PS4 and X1

As far as I know, Sony owns Naughty Dog. So they would have to willingly sell it to lose it. Like how Nintendo owned Rare and decided to put them up for sale and that's how MS got Rare. If Sony decides to ever sell Naughty Dog, then that probably means that aren't that great of a dev anymore.

MS has bought games in the past, they did it with Tales of Vesperia in the US and Europe. They did timed exclusive with Star Ocean: Last Hope and Eternal Sonata. MS has money to throw at third parties for timed exclusives. MS most likely thought it was a wise investment to have something to combat Uncharted 4. Square probably though it was a good idea as it would get a lot of xbox sales since Uncharted 4 would be getting most on PlayStation this holiday season. But I feel like this plan fell through due to Sony delaying Uncharted 4 and Fallout 4 instead getting released the same day. This could bite both MS and Square in the butt.

Basically deals happen, MS came to Square with a deal, Square seen they would have competition on the PS4 with Uncharted 4 this holiday so they went with it. All in all, if MS came to you with a huge check would you turn them down? That check probably paid for all of the employees yearly income and the equipment, meaning the sales of the game are just gravy on top.

I'm really happy about this I have not played the old RE titles before 4 other than my current progress into HD REmake. Ultimately the Tank controls are the issue, the recent remake of 1 and the newer updated controls have made it playable for me. Ultimately I would rather have a RE4 style playstyle, but if it plays more modernly like REmake HD then I can at least enjoy the game. To me this is one of the dire remakes I would want, as I never played RE2, but I want to, but due to the horrible gameplay controls I never will unless it's updated.

All in all, I'm happy about this.

On another note though I feel like they need to reboot the series. It has gotten way to complicated in it's story to the point it's convoluted. I loved 4 and had ton's of fun with 5, and while I played 6 some parts worked others didn't (Leon's campaign is the only one I remotely enjoyed). Story wise I have read up on what happened in 1,2 and 3. I feel like they need to forget 6. Even 5 in some of its parts made sense and felt like a good conclusion to the series. But if they are remaking 2, then a reboot is pretty much out the window. Maybe they should just entirely remake 6 and pretend the first version never existed.

i currently don't have one of the 3 consoles, i'm just using a Nvidia Shield TV console, and it's fun, but their Grid service has yet to be updated with current games.

So i started looking at a PS4, but the only game they currently have that i have not played is Bloodborne, and the only one's coming down the pipe that i have any interest in are Fallout 4 and Uncharted 4.

Hardly any reason to neccesitate spending hundreds of dollars......i'll tell ya' for a console thats leading in current sales right now it certainly has a lack luster library so far.

So you own a PC... this proves nothing. the PS4 is a great console and has tons of games to play. If your primarily a PC gamer then no sh*t Sherlock, you played most of the games on PC. But if you don't have a PC or don't really enjoy playing games on PC (me), then the PS4 has ton's of great games to play.
