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.

Here Comes Another First-Person Shooter Sequel

Posted Feb 23, 2012 at 6:55PM EST by Listed in: PS3 Tags: battlefield 3, black ops 2, cod, DICE, GDC, Medal of Honor, warfighter

But it runs on the Frostbite 2.0 engine!

If there’s one thing we learned from 2011, it’s that people will buy pretty much anything as long as it’s a first-person shooter. And since DICE isn’t likely to release another Battlefield title this year, somebody is going to have to stand up and take a (very small) bite out of Black Ops 2. That somebody appears to be Danger Close, and their strategy appears to be Medal of Honor.

The next Medal of Honor, subtitled Warfighter (creative), will hit shelves in October. The game is being built with DICE’s Frostbite 2.0 game engine—the very same one that powers the exceptionally pretty Battlefield 3. DICE, however, will not be involved in development; Danger Close has elected to build the entire game in-studio.

EA is planning to drop more details on the game at GDC in a couple of weeks. For now, we’ll just have to be satisfied with the promise of yet another brownish FPS.

Stay tuned for more updates, and in the meantime—do you prefer Medal of Honor over CoD or Battlefield?

Jet Set Radio is Coming Back

Posted Feb 23, 2012 at 6:36PM EST by Listed in: PS3 Tags: Dreamcast, jet set radio, psn, Sega, xbla

Rollerblades, spray-paint and one of the best game soundtracks of all time are headed your way.

If you were one of the lucky folks that got your hands on a Dreamcast before the console imploded and took Sega down with it, you probably had a copy of Jet Set Radio. If not, here’s a quick breakdown: you rollerblade around a city and spray-paint things as you go. That’s about it, but for some reason it’s awesome.

If you never had a chance to play Jet Set Radio, today is your lucky day. Sega has just announced that the game will be making its long-awaited comeback sometime in 2012, in the form of a downloadable title on both PSN and Xbox Live Arcade.

It’s been 12 years since the original title hit shelves, so it will be interesting to see how the game holds up. No information is available on an exact release date, a price or whether the company will be making improvements to the game.

Would you like to see Jet Set Radio HD? Or a straight port of the original?

Calm Down: Blizzard F2P Rumors are Out of Hand

Posted Feb 23, 2012 at 5:48PM EST by Listed in: MMORPG Tags: Blizzard, BlizzCon, diablo, dota, World of Warcraft

One random source does not a story make.

The gaming internet exploded earlier today with rumors that Blizzard, creator of World of Warcraft and Diablo, had a top-secret free-to-play project in the works. This news scoop came courtesy of Develop, a gaming news site that apparently has the inside dope on what’s going on over at Blizzard HQ. Naturally, the rumor quickly spun into a firestorm.

Here’s the problem—no one stopped to ask Blizzard. And when someone (GameSpot) finally got around to doing it, the company simply said, “Yeah, we’re working on a F2P game. It’s called Blizzard DOTA, and we announced it at BlizzCon.”

So, by all accounts, this looks like another case of the gaming press putting the cart before the horse. Blizzard is indeed working on a F2P game – it’s been confirmed that DOTA will run on a microtransaction model – but there’s nothing particularly “top secret” about it.

Nothing to see here, folks. Move along!

Unless, of course, the response from Blizz was all a clever ruse…

What do you think Blizz is up to?

Final Fantasy Tactics for iPad is Effing Expensive

Posted Feb 23, 2012 at 5:31PM EST by Listed in: iPad Tags: Final Fantasy Tactics, final fantasy tactics ipad, final fantasy tactics iphone, Square Enix

Square Enix brings its beloved turn-based strategy game to the iPad, but at a steep price.

You may remember a few months ago when Square Enix brought Final Fantasy Tactics to the iPhone, and said that an iPad version would follow shortly afterward. It turns out that in Square Enix’s world, “shortly afterward” means “in about six months.” Whatever the reason, the game is finally here.

Final Fantasy Tactics for iPad resolves some of the main issues with the iPhone version, such as play speed and sensitive touch controls. The game has also received a minor graphical upgrade—emphasis on the minor. Of course, Final Fantasy Tactics is 15 years old, so it’s sort of expected that it will look a bit dated, even on the iPad.

If you’re a fan of the franchise or the Tactics series, you can pick up Final Fantasy Tactics on the iTunes Store for – seriously - $17.99. Not sure why exactly Square Enix thinks its games deserve such a higher price than pretty much every other game on the market, but there you have it.

Would you pay nearly $20 for an iPad game, even an admittedly very good one?
