PoV: Nintendo’s Impending Destruction

Posted Mar 2, 2012 at 12:18PM EST by Listed in: PoV Tags: 3ds innovations, nintendo innovations, wii u innovation

Why the innovative games company is headed for failure.

Nintendo is, by most accounts, one of the most innovative forces in the world of gaming. The company lays claim to breakthroughs like force-feedback technology, motion control, z-targeting and a whole host of other now-standard gaming mechanics. Unfortunately, Nintendo’s days of leading the pack are quickly coming to a close.

Nintendo has always performed well in the games marketplace because of its exclusive titles and accessible technologies. However, games aren’t really the future of the games industry. In 2012 and beyond, it’s not games that sell devices, but their multimedia capabilities. One of the fastest-growing groups of console owners is made up of people who primarily use their devices to watch Netflix, listen to music or rent movies.

Nintendo has failed to keep pace with its competitors in the realm of multimedia. And it has also failed to keep pace when it comes to online gaming (friend codes, seriously?). If the Wii U can’t make some major improvements to the way Nintendo delivers multimedia content and online gameplay, it’s simply not going to be the console of choice.

Consumers always flock to the device that provides them the most value. A large number of PS3 sales can be chalked up to Blu-Ray support, just as a large number of Wii sales can be chalked up to the initial hype concerning motion control. In the next console generation, the device with the most utility wins.

If Nintendo fails to recognize this trend, it’s going to find itself toppled from the throne faster than it can say “3DS Lite.”

Why the innovative games company is headed for failure.

Tribes Ascend Dev Blames Multiplatform Development for Death of Dexterity

Posted Feb 21, 2012 at 11:57AM EST by Listed in: PC Gaming Tags: Quake, tribes ascend, unreal tournament

Hardcore shooters like Quake and Unreal Tournament don’t translate well when ported to consoles.

If you played first-person shooters on your PC in the 90s, you probably remember the hectic, chaotic gameplay they usually featured. In the old days, the only thing that dictated your ability to succeed in a PC shooter was the speed of your wrist. However, twitchy shooters seem to have faded out, replaced by the cover-laden frag fests to which we have all become accustomed.

Tribes Ascend executive producer Todd Harris says the problem isn’t with developers or the evolving tastes of gamers, but with creating multiplatform games. He claims that since shooters have to be simultaneously released on PC and console platforms, it’s much harder for developers to build a quick reflex, twitchy title.

He noted that console controllers dramatically limit the speed at which action can take place, since sensitivity can only go so high before the game becomes impossible to play. He also claimed that developers probably could make a twitchy game for consoles, but it’s easier to aim for the “lowest common denominator” and make tactical shooters instead of the twitchy kind.

Tribes Ascend is currently in closed beta, but will hit digital shelves sometime this spring. Expect the game to demand twitchy, reflexive gameplay—just like the shooters of old.

Unless, of course, it gets ported to PS3 or Xbox.

Mouse and Keyboard Confirmed for DUST 514

Posted Feb 7, 2012 at 4:07PM EST by Listed in: PS3 Tags: ccp, dust 514, Eve Online, unreal tournament 3

The EVE-universe, PS3-exclusive shooter will support USB accessories.

CCP confirmed via tweet earlier this week that DUST 514, its EVE Online first-person shooter, would support keyboard and mouse control schemes on the PS3 console. This means if you have a USB keyboard and mouse sitting around for your PlayStation, you’ll be able to use them as your primary method of control in lieu of the PS3 controller. Duh.

DUST isn’t the first game to support keyboard and mouse controls – Unreal Tournament 3 featured a similar setup. The addition of this control mode should come as a comfort to PC gamers that believe keyboard and mouse inputs are the only true way to play shooting games, and will make it easier to chat back and forth with the other players roaming the world.

DUST 514 is set for release sometime this summer on both PS3 and PC. Since it will feature cross-platform support, it only makes sense that PS3 players have the same control options as PC players.

Do you prefer the keyboard and mouse setup?

Rayman Origins coming to PC DRM Free

Posted Jan 28, 2012 at 7:47AM EST by Harrison E Listed in: Xbox 360, PC Gaming Tags: Digital Rights Management, DRM, drm-free, rayman, rayman origins, Ubisoft

Rayman Origins coming to PC DRM Free

Ubisoft have learnt from their past mistakes and making one of the best platformers and coolest games ever made DRM-free later this year.

Rayman Origins surprised everyone late last year with it's release seemingly from nowhere, it turned out to be one of the most colourful beautiful and friendly games I have ever seen, played or spent money on and if you have a PS3 or 360, I suggest you do the same.

Ubisoft announced that the Platformer will be out on March 30th on PC and in better news, all retail copies of the game will be shipped with no DRM. Digital versions will be saddled with whomever they are distributed through (i.e. Steam). So yes the very same Ubisoft who once said that "always on DRM"and regularly blames piracy for their lack of PC games, are sending a game out in the real world to deal with the pirates and hackers and evil people of the internets.

I think it's a bold move from Ubisoft to show they can make a game, have it be successful and (hopefully) port it successfully to the PC and still make a bundle off it. I think the game would really suit being on the PC, as more and more of my favourite platformers are turning up on there. Also with controller support from classic USB controllers and for those new-gen people who still want to use their 360, go right ahead.

The PC specs were also released and are as follows:

Here are the announced system specs:

Minimum configuration

OS: Windows® XP SP3 / Windows Vista® SP2 / Windows® 7 SP1

Processor: Intel Pentium IV 3.00 Ghz or AMD Athlon64 3000+ @ 1.8 Ghz

Memory: 1 GB Windows XP / 1.5 GB Windows Vista – Windows 7

Graphics: 128 MB DirectX®9 / Radeon X600XT or GeForce 6800GT

DirectX®: DirectX 9.0c or higher

Sound: DirectX 9.0-compliant sound card

Recommended configuration

OS: Windows® XP SP3 / Windows Vista® SP2 / Windows® 7 SP1

Processor: Intel Core2Duo E4400 @ 2.00 Ghz or AMD Athlon64X2 3800+ @ 2.00Ghz

Memory: 2 GB Windows XP / Vista / Windows 7

Graphics: 256 MB DirectX®9 / Radeon HD 2600XT or GeForce 8600GT

DirectX®: DirectX 9.0c or higher

Sound: DirectX 9.0-compliant sound card

Rayman Origins was release for the 360, PS3 and Wii last year in November. In addition to the PC, the game is also headed to the Playstation Vita and Nintendo 3DS on February 14 and March 20 respectively. It looks like Ubisoft have all the bases covered and I do hope it pays off for them. More Rayman Origins, less of the Rabbids, I say!

Paul Christoforo holding social media accounts hostage

Posted Dec 31, 2011 at 2:00PM EST by Harrison E Listed in: PS3 Tags: avenger controllers, n-control, ocean marketting, ocean stratagy, paul christoforo

Paul Christoforo holding social media accounts hostage

Ocean Marketing still lost at sea

The tale of Paul Christoforo will go down in history as a tragic tale of one man who said the wrong thing, at the wrong place

at the wrong time. I recently read an interview with the man himself on GameRanx and the guy has a lot of deep-seeded

personal issues and it looks like now those issues are more public than ever. Whilst the interview was meant to be revealing

and honest, it seems Paul has been anything but, as his actions have taken the world by storm, yet again, as he holds the

twitter and main website hostage.

Paul was let go from the company and has since been replaced with Moisés Chiullan. Chiullan is slowly picking up the peces

from N-Control's PR Nightmare and has gone into damage control including a complete corporate disowning of Christoforo and

his efforts, including a wonderful quote ending with the fact there "isn't a bus big enough for me to throw Paul Christoforo

under"

Chiullan then went to Twitter to answer people's questions about the current situation. Chiullan then followed it up by

setting up a Reddit AMA to directly respond to all the big questions and revealed that Mr. Christoforo isn't finished making

the guys at N-Control a living hell. See, as it turns out, the man is trying to commit extortion and gain a little profit

from the ordeal.

Chiullan tweeted out that Christoforo was holding N-Control's email, Twitter and Facebook accounts hostage. One of the first

questions asked in the AMA was how this could happen. Chiullan's answer was that he has "been trying to get him to give up

the access." Chiullan insists that he's been asking nicely for a couple of days but "the gloves are off now."

Paul told Chiullan via phone that "Eight months ago, I locked down all this stuff so they wouldn't be able to fuck with me.

If they don't give me what I want, it's war." Paul doesn't really want money but demands include a contract written on his

terms and substantial compensation, both immediate and for as long term, basically tll the company implodes due to Paul being

an unstable coworker. It's almost as though he's trying to pull a Fight Club and going about it in the worst way possible.

Paul even, flaunted the PR debacle he created as proof that he "made the company a success", citing all the media and public

attention as the "best thing that ever happened to Avenger".

Paul didn't count on the fact that Chiullan had anticipated all of these comments and issues and has been working on computer

hardware and web tech since I was 14. Chiullan did have control over the AvengerController.com domain. It was transferred

away from its original account, which Paul had complete control of. Because of how GoDaddy works, that old account retained

all of the email addresses and their master control settings (forwarding and so on) and N-Control not supporting SOPA, left

the GoDaddy account and Paul in the dust. Paul even continued to respond to customer emails from his personal GMail account

and lied to Moisés repeatedly about that fact.

Chiullan played it nice, and Paul played it stupid, acting like he didn't have full access to the master account, blaming his

"Indian outsourced tech team" being on vacation. Chiullan gave Paul an ultimatum: Paul was given two days to give over N-

Control's digital property.

Moisés closed the statement saying "He finally leveled with me tonight that he knew I wasn't that stupid and that he was

lying about his access to all these accounts. That's when he issued the above-mentioned threat. He reiterated that he had the

hosting, email, and everything on lockdown," which is simply not true.

The entire saga has played out for the entire world to see and everyone is far ahead Paul in the most darkest ways possible.

Where he will go, nobody knows but sadly, I wouldn't rule out suicide for the most feeblest of hearts.

Ocean Marketing still lost at sea...

Nintendo Branching into Multimedia with Wii U

Posted Dec 30, 2011 at 2:15PM EST by Listed in: Wii U Tags: nintendo rumors, wii apps, wii u apps, wii u rumors

Recent rumors indicate the device will have more than just gaming apps.

Everyone knows that Nintendo’s Wii U console is heading for shelves sometime in 2012, but details are a bit scarce. We’ve seen the huge tablet/controller they’re packaging with the device, and we know there will be motion control and some familiar faces, but that’s about it.

However, news broke yesterday that Nintendo may have its eye on more than just the gaming community, and is quietly working on its own app store packed with a variety of apps that will be ready for the Wii U’s launch. According to a person “familiar” with the device’s development, Nintendo is looking to bring a much wider variety of applications to the console, likely in an effort to diversify its offerings and keep up with the multimedia capabilities of the PS3 and Xbox 360.

While these are merely rumors at the current stage of development, it makes sense for Nintendo to allow third-party apps on its device. The tablet screen is practically built for browsing the web and reading emails, and the device with the most functionality is going to be the winner in a time where the technical differences between systems are increasingly negligible.

What do you think of a Nintendo app store? Would more apps provide you with more incentive to pick up a Wii U?

2K Games Shoots Down BioShock Motion Controller Rumors

Posted Nov 9, 2011 at 1:14PM EST by Listed in: PS3 Tags: 2K Games, bioshock infinite, motion controller, ps move

Talk of a special PlayStation Move accessory for BioShock Infinite is nothing more than rampant speculation, according to the game’s developer.

Yesterday, rumors started flying around that the PlayStation 3 version of BioShock Infinite would have one thing the Xbox 360 version did not: a customized Move peripheral. The rumor came from the last few sentences of a press release on the official PlayStation website, which stated “a special” Move device was in development specifically for the 2012 title.

Unfortunately, 2K Games has quickly spoken out on the rumors being false. Speaking to CVG, they confirmed that there are no special devices in development. BioShock Infinite will still support PS Move technology, just don’t look for anything that’s custom-tailored to the game. The press release has already been removed from the site, so it’s likely some intern just got in a heap of trouble.

We’re still months away from concrete information on Infinite, as 2K Games has played the title pretty close to the chest. All we know is that it takes place on a city in the sky, and that players will have a new companion with which to explore. What’s particular strange about this rumor is that it stated on an official PlayStation website and not through the speculation of a few fans.

So, perhaps there actually was something in development that got scrapped. Or, perhaps there’s still something in development, but it’s a secret. And finally, perhaps there’s just nothing in development and the site screwed up.

Which do you think is more likely?

What in the World is Nintendo Patenting?

Posted Nov 4, 2011 at 5:19PM EST by Listed in: Wii U Tags: nintendo patents, wii u, Wiimote

The Japanese games developer has filed a new patent for a Wiimote touchpad accessory, but it’s not exactly clear what they’re planning on doing with it.

Nintendo is the champion of accessories. From the Zapper to the Wii wheel, nearly every Nintendo console generation has been marked with some sort of game-specific add-on. Just look at the Wii controller section of your favorite big-box retailer if you want to see this in action.

Now, it looks like Nintendo is plotting yet another add-on for the Wiimote, likely aimed at its upcoming Wii U device.

Essentially, you slide this thingamajig onto the Wiimote, and then use it as a touchpad. The device apparently functions through clever manipulation of mirrors, but I’m not a very smart person so I’m having a hard time following the description. Basically, when you touch the pad, the device works, and when you leave it alone it functions like a normal Wiimote.

Nintendo has noted that possible applications include drawing pads or mouse pointers, but I’m still having a hard time wrapping my mind around what exactly their intent could be. As we know, many patents never see the light of day, so this could be one more odd Nintendo technology that doesn’t quite make it to shelves.

What do you think of a Wiimote touchpad? Also, can you make any sense of the diagram?

Are you a Sweaty Gamer?

[Pic] Imagine those air vents from Tenpin bowling, installed in your Xbox or PS3 Controller? Imagine no more!

[rm]

This isn't the first time manufacturers have attempt to come up with a controller that cools the hands while you play, Logitech has tried for the PC [http://www.logitech.com/en-au/441/292?WT.z_sp=Image]... but this one lights up!

Airflo have produced a few different 'cooling' devices for our consoles before, primarily extra cooling to sit under your Xbox or PS3 console for those hotter days.

The next logical step, is of course, cooling down those sweaty hands.

http://www.logitech.com/en-au/441/292?WT.z_sp=Image

I'm not sure about you, but I play in complete air conditioned comfort (muhaha!), so I need not worry about such matters. I also live in a 24 story mansion and Donald Trump comes over to play Dance Dance Revolution! True Story!

But there are those times when I am so busy fragging my next victims on CoD... Ok, the reality is I go 1-10 every time I play that damned game, it is a lesson in futility...

Back to the point at hand, my hands do get somewhat sweaty when playing Xbox, so this will help when I need to replace my current controller.

Thanks to Airflo, I can now

a) Keep my hands cool while seeing my controller in the dark; and

b) Never have to worry about putting down my Xbox controller to hold pretty girls hand immediately and coating her in my geek sweat!

Yes, pretty girls wander around my gaming room while I play console! I swear!

Batman: Arkham City 250GB Xbox 360 bundle coming to Europe

Posted Sep 28, 2011 at 4:04AM EST by Mabie A. Listed in: Xbox 360 Tags: batman: arkham city, rocksteady

A 250GB Xbox 360 bundle is coming to Europe, this according to Amazon Germany.

The listing reveals that the bundle will carry a Slim model of Microsoft's console, apart from the customary controller, headset, and of couse, a copy of Rocksteady's upcoming caped crusading title, Batman: Arkham City. It should be out in Europe by October 21st. As to whether or not this will ever see the light of day in North American shores, we'll have to wait until Rocksteady gives the word for it.

In the meantime, the team has declared that they will no longer be issuing character reveals, instead inviting everyone to look forward to the trailer of Batman's ever-loyal sidekick, Robin. Earlier this week, they sent out the one for The Joker. For sure, Robin's trailer will just be as kick-ass. Maybe even more.

CoD: Black Ops Rezurrection Pack to blame for XBL bans?

Posted Sep 13, 2011 at 5:32AM EST by Mabie A. Listed in: Xbox 360 Tags: Activision, cod: black ops, Microsoft

So, remember when Microsoft went on a banning spree over at the Xbox Live last week? They were pretty much secretive about the whole "Marketplace Theft" issue.

Apparently, though, it appears that one particular DLC is the root cause of all this drama. As reports would have it, a glitch present in the Rezurrection DLC for Call of Duty: Black Ops is the one causing all the trouble for the gamers. What happens is that the glitch flags their Xbox 360 units as being stolen. The consequence for this is that the XBL account attached to the unit thereby gets banned.

The glitch seems to be pretty random, and so it doesn't really matter whether or not your unit is indeed stolen. Those banned were only so unfortunate as to download the game's add-on, and thereby is burdened with the banning consequence.

To make things more frustrating, Microsoft apparently wants to keep things under wraps until they are able to figure out a way to deal with the issue. This is rather surprising considering how swiftly and transparently they dealt with the previous security issue on their system. I just hope that this media blackout won't be for too long because really, the consumers are obviously on the losing end of this whole brouhaha. Meanwhile, if this be true, Activision should say something about the matter as well.

The CoD: Black Ops Rezurrection Pack came out for both the XBL and PSN back in September 23rd. The bannings commenced shortly after that for XBL subscribers.
