Still butthurt over the Virtual Boy.Nin10doh: Still Living in the 1980's
Why does nobody try to clone pokemon any more? It was all the rage in the GBA days and unlike people trying to clone COD we actually and fairly frequently got some good stuff out of it (miss you medabots, robopon and demi kids).
Nintendo is right. Of course, it's akin to saying that gaming is getting there but wasn't ready with the Atari 2600 or NES. It's a bit foolhardy, but I can understand their viewpoint since mainly, mainly, they're hurting on the cash front and there's absolutely no point to make that worse by diving in an unproven in the consumer market technology. Then again, they had be stupid and bring an idiotic tablet to a console while making sure it does absolutely nothing special but raise the price and cut into their profits. So... yeah.
When I can watch a move in 3D on a reasonably priced VR headset, THEN it will have come into its own. As it stands, that experience is rather horrible and I still think games don't look quite good enough due to the resolution of the screens. It's passable, but hardly tolerable depending on the costs.
Plus, the VR aspect of gaming is stupid. It'll have a few good games but it'll be like Motion Gaming and largely ruin perfectly good games. The only difference, I hope, is that the good VR games are AMAZING and well worth it. Especially if VR plagues us like Motion gaming has. I don't mind it being optional, that's the best. But if you put VR into a third person or side scrolling game, it damn well better be optional.
Immersive 3D will make these headsets worth it, the VR will only be cute but it'll wear thin extremely fast.
Isn't gaming on PC's like Ultra Super Hyper Mega 4K HD? That's HD-fied 'nuff for VR ain't it?
Thing is, Medabot games keep on being released, they were always different from Pokemon (and more interesting imho, the DS game was awesome).
Right now the 3DS has Medabots 7 for the 3DS, and 8 was recently announced also for the 3DS.
Last year Natsume said that Medabots 7 wouldn't be released in the west, but perhaps future titles could. Now all you can do is hope that Medabots 8 does indeed get localized like the GBA game (granted, only reason the GBA games were released was due to the anime at the time).
Same happens with a lot of games similar to Pokemon, like the Digimon games and other series, they just don't get brought out to the west.
What happened after motion games revolutionized gaming?
I'm still hoping an idea like MS' Illumiroom will become commercially available in the near future. I mean, VR is good and all, but what about a device that expands the game resolution outside of the TV and map it to the entire room?
I think virtual reality is a pipe dream. What happened after motion games revolutionized gaming? Right...everyone went back to mashing buttons (even for swordfighting games). Kinect can measure everyting of a player, but it's not even MENTIONED last E3. Why would this be any different? Even if the hardware becomes perfectly capable of fooling your sight and hearing into thinking you are IN the game...then you'll still break immersion by using buttons than actually moving.
What I understand the least is why the videogame industry is attempting to build this thing. Wouldn't it be more obvious to create such a device to watch 3Dpornmovies first? That should be a much simpler goal on all technological aspects. Instead, there seems to be a race going on to creating the first VR helmet that wasn't user friendly in the '90's, and I haven't yet heard much independent reviews saying it's much better now.
