To me, yes. There is a lot of depth to the controls, see my post a few days ago.

Also I didn't just play the demo that much to "get" the controls. I played because the controls made the game fun and made me want to play the training areas again to beat my previous high scores.

Okay here's a direct capture of my demo play, notice how I have two lock on points? I could have done a third. But it only works on enemies, not random space junk debris. You just hold zr to charge your shot, drift the cursor over enemies then release zr. I just realised I had the twin laser. Maybe that's why I can target more than one thing? Also they have to approximately be at the same depth.

In case any of you doubt the veracity of our own ShockingAlberto as a source, here is a PM I received from him yesterday evening.

I am like


99% sure on this one. Eurogamer's story is in two parts and they should cover it, too. I am not going to say anything about it because I honestly don't want to deal with the fallout if I am wrong somehow. You can be my sealed envelope on this.


- Hybrid; it's a handheld with a TV docking station.

- Carts, around 16-32 GB.

- Nintendo-made OS, not Android.

- Retailers are being shown soon, so expect pre-orders to be around when they reveal, if not that day.

- Around Xbox One in power.

- Base station will come with it

- Nvidia is doing the internals

Woah.

Well this whole console/handheld hybrid thing has been touted from the beginning so no surprise there. Nice to see the cartridge/high capacity data cards be the system's format. This really shouldn't have been a surprise either because it lends credence to the system's portability. Less moving parts makes the system more stable and the cost per unit cheaper. Disappointed by the system's lack of power though. I guess we should expect yet another gen of very little third party support especially in cross platform games.

This sums up my reaction so far. I like the portable / docking and controller options also. It's not the sort of thing I'd take out of my house, but it would be useful to be able to move it from room to room.

"Ex-Burnout creators start work on a new driving game After Dangerous Golf fails to meet expectations"

Dangerous Golf flopped so it's back to Burnout.  I feel a level of dissapointment for them, they were sick of driving games, left EA, self funded a game they believed in and then it's back to driving games for teh old Criterion team.

What's everyones perspective on XB1 hardware right now, in terms of purchasing intentions?

(Given the stock clearance price of $250USD on the existing model, and the upcoming S model?)

My 500 gigger is full, so I was considering an S upgrade, but I better trade in my existing one fast (actuallly probably too late at this point given the price drop).

Now I am thinking I'll ride my curent one until it dies and hope the S has come down in price by then.

If it means a proper AC game on a non shit screen with old ass hardware, I'm in. I'll buy the damn fucking thing. Fuck Mario, fuck Linguini, fuck Zelda, FUCK STARFOX, fuck whatever, give me a new AC game.

There are a ton of assassins creed games you can play on any console. Not sure why you want it on a Nintendo system so badly.

;">Price

;">Early online speculation about pricing for the NX expects it to be cheaper than current consoles, but from what we’ve heard it’s going to be cheaper than even the vast majority expect.;"> This is a machine that is targeting the mass market, and Nintendo certainly plans for it to have a mass market price. Price is one Wii U mistake Nintendo is determined not to repeat. This could be NX's single biggest win.

Their game was Burnout Crash mode only indoors with golf. Hard to market I guess.

This is what I was thinking, all these years later and there is still no AC Wii U. New Leaf could have been on NX. And at a basic level it's going to be really fecking hard for some of these portable games dev to put out a shitty looking game on a Tegra X1. At a basic level every game should at least be like Gamecube graphics with clean lines and cel-shading. A decent looking Pokemon and Harvest Moon.

And the depth thing. I didn't experiment more, but from what I saw if you had something in the foreground and something in the background, you couldn't lock onto the thing in the background until it reached a closer distance.

So guess the price of nx, I say $250, any higher is suicide.

I say they price the handheld only as cheaper. The dock costs extra and bumps the performance considerably.
