This is not the MEGATON announcement as Nintendo of Europe recently confirmed that there was never planned to be a MEGATON announcement. This is just Nintendo letting the news trickle in.
Take a look at their schedule for the next year and it almost looks blank. They don't want the attention drawn away from the two big games (Zelda and Metroid) that they've released.
Now we're starting to get the news from them in the form of confirmation of Animal Crossing 2, 100 Marios and Pikmin 2, the announcement of Pokemon Gamecube which is due out before the summer, and now the new GBA which was up until this point just a rumor.
Odd. I really liked Super Pitfall yet it's on the list.
But when I need an example of a bad game (I'm a nerd, things like that come up), I always use Superman 64 or Lemmings Paintball. I've never actually played either one, but Superman is known for its craptitude and I always remember the story of the friend who bought Lemmings Paintball without the manual and when checking the ingame help files, it gave him the message "Put the Help Files here Mr. Helpfile Man".
Not only did it show how unfinished the game was, but I know I'd be embarassed if I ever wrote a message like that and someone got to read it.
Code Name: Viper was excellent. One of the Capcom games I wish they'd make a sequel to in this generation. And it wasn't/that/ hard. You just had to be used to the jumping in the game and know where you could spin through the doors. And for its time, the graphics were nothing short of incredible.
Definitely not on the worst games list.
Mario Sunshine gets best platformer and biggest disappointments because the titles are accurate. People had the expectation that Mario Sunshine would be what Mario 64 was to the last generation of consoles: earthshattering. It changed the face of platformers.
Mario Sunshine is an excellent platformer (as in the best this year had to offer), but people were hoping for so much more (though noone knew what else to expect). It's a great game, but it's no Mario 64 (or it is, but it's not what Mario 64 was when it was introduced).
As for Halo, it was technically rereleased this year so could potentially qualify, but against the shock/fun factor and variety of GTA: Vice City or the experience that is Metroid Prime, Halo doesn't really hold up. Especially with no official online multiplayer.
The reason why it's got so many people playing online is because up until the last few weeks, Xboxers didn't have a lot of good stuff to choose from online.
But people don't actually talk like they do on the original Star Trek. Just because a character talks in an over the top and unrealistic way doesn't make them a character. It helps to color them a little more quickly, but that's about it. Most people consider the dialog on the original Star Trek somewhere between really bad and laughable.
Also, I can take lines from the original Star Trek all over the place that noone would recognize. They say certain phrases episode after episode, but not every sentence. You're taking an expection to a rule and comparing it to the general. Of course you can recognize it!
While I'd love a usable version of Be to use, I've got to say that this is a completely different situation due to the competition aspect.
BeOS was in direct competition from the very beginning with Apple. When Apple changed up to the G3, they decided that they'd had enough of the competition and decided to not give Be the hardware information that they'd need to keep going. Considering it only originally ran on Apple machines, you're talking a niche market within a niche that was eventually actively opposed by their hardware maker. They stood no chance.
So Be moved ot the x86 market which was already locked up. People had too many choices. They could run Windows and get all the programs they wanted or they could run Linux who is selling their product for free and has rabid fan support. Take into account that they couldn't even give it away by preinstalling on the major computer retailers due to insane Microsoft licensing and they had no chance on that platform.
It's been a long time since I've run Be on my Powermac 7600/132 and I still think it was well ahead of its time (actually, I think the Powermac version is still ahead of anything available today). But Morph isn't exactly trying this. They're breaking into the non-apple PPC market which doesn't have a clear ruling OS. Yes, the actual Amiga OS could ruin it fairly quickly. But from what I've read, it can exist on hardware that isn't automatically intertwined with an OS. That stops it from needing to start over and hopefully will keep it building up rather than having to do a restart like BeOS v3.0 for PC which was a disaster.
"During his 15-minute presentation, Lauder slammed his Replay box, 'it's too hot,' 'my wife doesn't know how to use it,' and he even tried to fry an egg on his PVR. He also openly called on the cable companies and Hollywood to sue the PVR companies for copyright infringement. If you love your PVR, the cable industry is not your friend."
I don't know how anyone else views this, but to nearly anyone who's had any experience, a statement like this sounds more like "I'm trying to find something wrong with it". The average user doesn't notice the heat buildup (and I know I've never noticed any heat buildup on my ReplayTV 4000). And his wife can't understand it? Can his wife understand the TV Guide? It's a lot more difficult to follow.
Then again, telling this at a convention made for cable companies is preaching to the converted.
Actually, a PS2 mod is fairly easy these days. Usually it revolves around removing the case (which you'd have to do to put a PCI card into the PC) and a single wiring solder (usually 2 points). Oh, and plugging in a USB device.
Yes, I realize that opening a PS2 is different from opening a PC, but the fact remains that it's not remotely difficult. And considering how much wiring the average person has to do to get a signal from their PC to their TV, this is a very useful product.
I however haven't checked the website yet on the one item that killed the Dreamcasts Divx player: reencoding. I know for formatting purposes, Divx needed to be reencoded to play it on the dreamcast. Usually that was time consuming and a general pain. Anyone know if this one needs that too?
How much acceptance do you need? I turn on FOX on an average Saturday morning and I see enough stuff that was either anime or anime inspired that I have to make sure I'm still in the same country.
Granted most of this stuff is horrendous anime and the more psychotic among us will complain that the dubs are terrible, but really, coming from a generation that grew up with Transformers and Thundercats, I think we're pretty accepting of anime already. Not the artsy and deep stuff that they usually get in Japan, but that's because there's nearly a zero audience for it over here.
We've got plenty of acceptance. It's just whether we actually like what we get that's important.
The Spirits Within wasn't a "huge mistake" because it had nothing to do with Final Fantasy, nor was it a mistake because of the failure of video game movies to date.
As was mentioned above, none of the Final Fantasies have anything to do with each other with the notable exception of them always having a character named Cid (which they had in the movie).
Second, video game movies aren't always terrible. Yes, Super Mario Bros, Street Fighter and Mortal Kombat 2 were terrible movies. But Mortal Kombat (which had been released before the Spirits Within), Resident Evil (which had not), and even Tomb Raider (which was released at the same time) are all watchable "popcorn" movies.
Unfortunately, this is where the flaw came in. I just described these movies as Popcorn movies. As in movies that anyone can go to see, see a favorite property brought to the big screen, and hopefully walk away happy. The Spirits Within was/waaaaaay/ too high brow for the average person to enjoy. You had to 1) appreciate the art and 2) digest the thick and less than sexy/exciting plot. It never had a chance.
If you asked a comic book nerd 10 years ago what was the best Marvel comic based movie that they'd ever seen, if they were well informed, they'd say "Howard the Duck". More likely, they'd tell you there was no such thing. Even if video game movies are generally poor, it doesn't immediately condemn them to the realm of automatically terrible.
As for Square getting sloppy, Kingdom Hearts is regarded as one of the best games of the year by many (a poll on Gamefaqs.com just a few days ago put it at third behind Grand Theft Auto: Vice City and Metroid Prime). I thought Kingdom Hearts was unpolished on a lot of points, but there was fun in there too. And that's what they were aiming for.
Lastly, it shouldn't be a suprise that they're doing special editions of their games. Square needs the money. It's one of the reasons they're making games for the GBA and Gamecube. Both sides swallowed their pride and so now Square is allowed to make some games for the Gameboy Advance in exchange for some Gamecube support. Square makes money. Starts to pull themselves out of the hole. If they need to get out faster, they just release some special editions of their better selling games and *BOOM* instant money. They have a large fanbase and they're using that (because they're smart) to their advantage.
I've used a soldering iron exactly once before doing the afterburner upgrade and it really is as easy as they say it is. The hardest thing about it is applying the film to the screen and even that isn't bad.
The single problem I've seen with the upgrade is getting dust under the screen and I don't know anyone who hasn't gotten some dust under their screen when doing the upgrade, but for the light advantage it's a worthwhile trade.
And you can always just open it up again and again to try to get that last bit of dust out of there.
I like a lot of the games on the GBA, but when I'm at home, there's very little chance I'm going to spend any of the time I'd use for gaming on the tiny GBA screen, even with the Afterburner front lighting device. Then you have to factor in that I don't travel much and a large portion of the GBA's better games are RPGs and you realize why I've only finished a grand total of one of my GBA games.
A big screen would make these games playable without the eye strain. That's what makes this thing worthwhile. On a normal sized screen I could actually play through games like Golden Sun or Castlevania: Circle of the Moon.
I just wish they'd release this thing a little faster.
When does MS ever give up at the get go on something they want? When do they give up on anything at all? MSN doesn't come close to AOL (in messengers or as an ISP) and has been going on forever. MS doesn't like to give up.
Off the top of my head, the only thing I can think of that they've ever given up on was "Microsoft Bob". And even artifacts of that reappear every so often (XP's help had the dog from it, right?).
When someone is fighting in their own comic against someone of equal power, they're destined to win. If it goes into another book, the fight will usually have an indefinite finish, though will lean towards the characters from the second book (to heighten drama for the character from the first book as the second book's characters will usually be winning at the end of the first book.).
So in other words, if the fight is in a Batman comic, Batman is going to win. If it's in one of Superman's, Superman is going to win. If it's in a combination, there can never be an absolute winner.
The Flash won in the race they had years back and since then he's become some sort of speed entity (I know I read this somewhere), so Flash would win by a lot now.
... I didn't see anything in the specs that would help you get information off of the machine. I love the idea that it pauses live TV. I think it's terrific that it can store shows you want to record. Burning is a great thing to do with TV shows. But with no way to get the show off of the box (outside of using a DVD), there's no way I'd be able to cut out the commercials for my archiving of old shows I want to watch.
Why no ethernet port? Or even just a usb port that'd let it work like an excess hard disk for an external PC. It seems like it runs most of the race well, but gives up on the last lap.
I don't know if this is how it works on the Xbox version, but DC Divx (at least the last time I used it), needed you to completely reencode any Divx movies you wanted to play so that they didn't appear as just a blurry bar at the top of the screen.
In other words, sure, you could play the average Divx movie on your TV with a Dreamcast, but it'd take a lot more effort than the average person is willing to go through.
>The one exception I can see to this is if you're using the CD as a data transport mechanism, between your PC in the office with the fast data connection and your DVD player in the living room.
Even if you're not using it as a transport mechanism. Conveniencewise, CD's beat Hard disks hands down. Suddenly you have the urge to watch some show on a random drive from a stack. What do you do? You have to open the case, disconnect and reconnect wires, and reboot the computer. This smacks of a lot more effort than the "stick CD in drive" method. Even if you're using an external drive mounting system, it's not a great alternative.
And none of this takes into the account that Hard Disks aren't nearly as storage safe as CDs. The hard disk was the first thing I said "uh oh" about for the Xbox and I know people who bought extended warranties based on that single piece of the hardware. In contrast, I've seen CDs that I'd have sworn something (someone?) was gnawing on that played just fine.
CDs are a much better alternative to Hard Disks for just common viewing. I just wish someone would make a set top DiVX player (not the rental thing of the similar name).
The studios have the final say in what's released. There are a lot of decent movies that get cut to ribbons by editors and result in dismal products.
My personal favorite of these if you get the chance, try watching the "Highlander: Endgame" 2 disc set. The first disc is the theatrical version. The second is the full version. The theatrical version had the interference of the studios and five (FIVE!!!?!?!?!?!) unrelated editors. The editors literally pulled setups to jokes out of the movie and left the punchlines at times. The fight scenes seem to be cut of the most exciting and interesting frames (why cut 1.5 seconds when someone's being kicked?). On second thought, these Highlander editors are pretty bad to start. Ever seen Highlander 2?
Fear the editors and studios. They have a lot more pull than you could imagine.
Actually, this has completely to do with the GBA flash dumpers which as far as I know has nothing to do with the bios. They just flash a cartridge that looks like a GBA cartridge. At the current time there are no Gamecube Mod chips. They don't need any, as region encoding is circumvented with just a quick soldering and installing a switch.
Not by how a mod chip would generally do it. From my understanding of the videogame modchip, it doesn't actually remove the encoding (which would violate the DMCA), but just ignores it. And how does that infringe on it?
The difference between this and the analogy of a cable descrambler is that Mod chips have legal uses: removes region encoding (which is why I want a mod chip), making backups of programs that are already owned, and using homebrew products.
Will this be used for other (and illegal) purposes? Sure. Are modchips devoid of any legal uses? No.
They might be caught up, but then remember that the system has already dropped in price $100 since release. So they probably aren't. If I'm not mistaken though, I seem to remember a statement from MS saying something along the lines of "We don't actually intend on seeing profit on the Xbox until 2004."
Why is it important that MS make money on their systems? If they're selling them at a loss, that's their problem. If I want to go out and purchase 1000 Xboxes to use as paperweights and they lose 1000 times whatever they lose on their system, that's what's called "their problem, not mine".
Just because MS is using a business model that's unprofitable for them, doesn't mean it's illegal to take advantage of it. MS losing money isn't what's questionably illegal about modchips. It's the questionable use and the method of their developments as far as I can see.
The fact that they're losing money is just the reason why they're pursuing the modchip makers so tenaciously.
The problem with your reasoning here is that only a small percentage of a console's base ever actually mods their system. Since the homemade code can only work on modded consoles, anyone who's making software for it that's unofficial is going to have to rely on the people who have Xboxes/and/ chose to mod them. Considering how small the Xbox's base is already, MS isn't really worried about developers going out on their own.
When was the last time you saw a hit game that only ran on a modded Playstation?
