Guys video game history is happening, where is everyone.

Playing Halo 5 fool.

Nowhere in any of the information given so far has any mention been made about actual game PURCHASES and being able to transfer games from one Wii U to another or being able to redownload games via your Nintendo Account from, say, a Wii U to the NX. It's all the same crap. Earn points for playing and buying games, connect with people on your friends list, etc. Same old Nintendo, different program name.

Eurogamer on the re-released and patched version of Batman Akrham Knight:

We asked Digital Foundry to take a quick look at the game as it stands - the results suggest that Batman: Arkham Knight today has seen no further improvements from its interim patch back in September.

The only noticeable changes were the addition of support for add-on and season pass content.

They certainly took their time if this is true.

I fail to see anything exciting about Nintendo's event.

I don't know why we expected anything different.  It was an investors meeting right? Not really the time for big announcements that aren't directly financially related.

It was going to be the mobile unveiling so it was a big moment... Except they gave us miitoto

Yeah not really the time for any earth shaking announcements. I was not expecting much at all, and I was not let down.

So? Did you expect Mario on mobile?

There are no words to describe how much I hate the patriots. Fuck Brady.

Shenmue 3 Month 3 Progress Report with screenshots

Greetings Everyone!


Yes, we are in the third month of development of Shenmue 3. The story and scenarios are now out of the planning stage and it is time to get the people, places and things to start fitting together into a world with proper dimension, adequate space, and appropriate scale to keep the feel and essence of all that is a Shenmue game.


Map Testing


In this phase of the development, the major work being done is the map testing. Map testing will define the different areas to make sure they are neither too big, nor too small to get to that Goldilocks zone. This consists of looking at the layout of a certain space, and experimenting to make necessary alterations. For example, an outside area may feel too open. That space may be reduced by 20%, and the number of people there increased from 10 to 16, to affect the proper consistency and density of the area.


All elements in the following screen shots are still in testing. Objects are being used as place holders, like the men in black suits, and Ryo is also an older model. Backgrounds and buildings are also still in the development stage and will see reworking. Shots for the two battle scenes were taken at angle to avoid spoilers as much as possible.

The development team is in high spirits now that we have reached this stage where we are finally able to start testing. The studio has become quite the lively place as of late, even on Saturdays for some of us! We look forward to your continued support!
