It kind if makes me want to punch him. He made a comment in either this story or another about the 3DS's future that said "Pokemon XY will generate a little interest in the system." Seriously?? Gamer Armageddon is going to be unleashed that day.
I think he's going to push back on the 3DS for a while. He spent the last 2 years proclaiming handheld gaming was dead on the basis that his daughters preferred to play games on their phones. He can't go back now without saying he's wrong.
Dang
Dang right.
Pachter.
I wished analyst/journalist/reviewers could admit when they're wrong.
Wow:
PS4 only guarantees 4.5 gb RAM for game use
Has 1GB of "flexible memory" reserves 3.5GB for the Operating system
So Xbone uses 3GB RAM for the OS, PS4 uses 3.5 GB
That's huge. Any notion of PS4 having a full 8GB of GDDR high speed ram for game use is out the window. Also according to Digital foundry each machine uses two CPU cores for the OS. So 6 low powered Jaguar cores (efficient lower power netbook CPUs made to rival Intels' Atom)
With this news the PS4s' advantage over X1 is mostly left to the GPU being better?
Sup Pikmin 3 has a swarm feature, using wii mote lock on with Z then shake nunchuk. Amazing the wii remote still feels like some device from the future because no one else is innovating in the controller field. The u pad is used well too, you get a touch screen map that actually moves the full 3d environment on the main screen plus a close up ground level photo mode. I'm only 10 minutes in but I'm sure there will be more.
Oh fuck, the wii u pad is the Kopad in the game it's like have a tablet with a Pikmin style operating system this is too funny and too fucking good LOL!
So how are you playing? Using both controllers or just one? Which one is better, the remote or the gamepad?
Both. For main gameplay the wii remote and for additional features the gamepad which is either on the stand on the table or in my lap. Best of both worlds, it sounds convoluted but the game never demands you having to use both at the same time and the touch screen controls are well worked and never finnicky. Also, you guys don't pre-judge Pikmin 3s gamepad use before you try it, even using the remote the pad adds great features, you can even set rts like way points on the map and send pikmin there. Your touch scrolls the whole environment on the hdtv too and the upad is used like a Pikmin OS iPad, which is hilarious. It also has off screen play and a camera mode where you can take ground level super close photos. BTW everything is real time, none of the screens you've seen are fake or anything, it's particularly impressive when go into camera mode to look at plants. Ground textures can look soft but when well lit they come alive with detail.Pikmin 3 feels like the first truly great Nintendo quality game on the system. Definite system seller IMO in quality terms, it smokes NSMB and Nintendoland, Game and Wario etc. You can see my screens on Miiverse, U owners.
That's how I plan to play pikmin.
the ps 4 stuff doesn't bother me, interesting how MS is all positive lately and now Sony is negative.
yeh, didn't really get the swarm function yet. I'll check it out tonight... I agree that the gamepad functionality is ace though. It's much more of a game changer then you'e think at first glance. I played the game standing up (as i do with most console gaming) and was balancing the gamepad on one arm
This doesn't surprise me at all...everything Nintendo has done on the system up to now is more of a B level test than a major game. Pikmin 3 seems like the first REAL Nintendo game on the U, and hopefully the start of many from now on. As I said, I fully expect this to overtake Zombi U as my favorite game on the U so far.
Clearly you are a god among men.
I bow down.
I'm strongly leaning towards picking up Pikmin 3. I haven't gotten a new Wii U game since Super Metroid (lol).
Not one retail game since launch for me.
Penis powered video game gets Oculus Rift support.

Custom Maid 3D, the erotic computer game with a cock controller, is grinding out a historic update: Oculus Rift support. VR gaming with things people put their penises in will never be the same!
Thanks to a new beta patch, now players can enjoy virtual reality head-mounted gaming as they enjoy controlling the game with their dicks—should they have one! As website Destructoid points out, the new patch supposedly makes this the first sex game with Oculus Rift support, beating Wicked Paradise.
As previously mentioned, the wireless peripheral controller is actually called "Ju-C Air." It has an analog stick and an action button as well as a right and a left click, and the controller will respond and react in real time to your stroke speed and depth, but ignores feelings of shame and guilt.
Told you Ocukus Rift was the future.
Yeah me neither. The games will be fine and I love all the extra functionality consoles come with these days.Hmm, I almost pulled the trigger on a wii u order with payment plans. I may hold off...for now.
There's going to be a price drop very . . . soon.
The exact same thought I had when I was on the verge of clicking 'Complete Your Order.'
Dont do it. Wait.
