    Gaming [UPDATE] Square Enix tease FFXV Omen event

    Yes, it is bad, because XII is an ancient relic at this point, and you can make a DIY remaster already with PCSX2 and high resolution+filters. Perhaps there are HD textures as well for it, i haven't searched about them. So why be excited for this 2 generation old game, instead of a new Final...

    Hardware Nintendo of America: "Learn more about the Switch LIVE on Jan. 12"

    Sorry to dissappoint you, but the droughts will happen for the Switch as well. The Wii U didn't face droughts because of the 3DS, that is nonsense. Nintendo always supported their handhelds, even before the SNES was released, and they didn't have as much droughts on their main consoles. And it's...

    Hardware Nintendo of America: "Learn more about the Switch LIVE on Jan. 12"

    And again, i find it hilarious that kids continue to compare Desktop gpus which are a half a feet long with a a huge cooler, with the Tegra line which is a tiny stamp-sized SoC which includes a cpu and cache and a memory controller, and is passively cooled unless you oveclock it and actively...

    Hardware Nintendo of America: "Learn more about the Switch LIVE on Jan. 12"

    LOL. The final specs of the system are known years in advance. A chip takes around 4 years to materialize, from design to production. Before the chip begins the design process, the designers already know what things they want to target for. Only minor things like clocks or amount of cores are...

    Hardware Nintendo of America: "Learn more about the Switch LIVE on Jan. 12"

    THIS. The system sucks. It will be underpowered compared to the other consoles, and too expensive compared to the 3DS and Vita, both in terms of hardware and in terms of software. Nintendo already officialy announced that they aren't going to sell at a loss, which means this is going to be 300$...

    Gaming [UPDATE] Square Enix tease FFXV Omen event

    I have been very disappointed with Square (and most japanese developers actually) in the last decade. Final Fantasy used to be one of my favourite franchises and it became an absolute joke. Still, i have a feeling this is going to be the next great game of this generation, after The Witcher 3...

    Gaming The Last Guardian has gone gold

    Great! Yet another overhyped and eventually overrated POS "artistic" game from that trashy series! Seriously, i played both Ico and Shadow of Colossus, and i cringed. Why some kids feel the need to overhype bad game design and poor production values, just because it is an exclusive title...

    Hardware Poll: What do you think of the Switch?

    The DS line is officially dead. And don't expect many more games to arrive for the 3DS, i suppose that early 2017 will be the last games from Nintendo, with a few more months for games from 3rd parties. There is a reason for the drought of games for both the Wii U and the 3DS the last 2 years...

    Hardware Poll: What do you think of the Switch?

    I really like that you posted this, cause i didn't remember the name. LOL. Yeah, this Project Discovery was the prototype for the Nintendo Switch. Early in 2014 there were some rumours about AMD having designed a custom SoC for a big console vendor for mobile. We all assumed this would have been...

    Hardware Poll: What do you think of the Switch?

    I told you yesterday... There is no magick in the hardware business, transistors don't come out of thin air. Kids were really optimistic about it having more power on the dock but that simply isn't feasible, at least not economically. This is just like the Gamecube->Wii transistion. It will be...

    Hardware Poll: What do you think of the Switch?

    It won't have android, but a custom Nintendo OS. This OS will obviously be extremely limited, to avoid the possibility of hacking it. Nintendo cares first and foremost for anti-piracy, they even ruined the N64 and the Gamecube by choosing different/niche game medium options out of piracy fears.

    Yeah sure pal... Let's use the stock market to predict console performance...

    Hardware Poll: What do you think of the Switch?

    Probably around half the power in portable mode. In portable mode, this is a handheld Wii U. Which is impressive, btw. But not for 300$ and home console level priced games. Nope. Every Nintendo handheld was a portable form of its earlier home console. Gameboy was a portable NES, Gameboy Advance...

    Hardware Poll: What do you think of the Switch?

    Well, gaming communities (which are not too technical) seem to be hyped, but tech communities laugh at the thing already(because they don't fall for the hype and examine the thing in detail). Here on gtatemp, a place mainly for Nintendo handheld fans, it is obvious what most will pick at the...

    Hardware Nintendo Switch Reveal

    Those are not Tegra chips with high bandwidth ram though. Where is the ram kid? You see, it is worse to have half-knowledge than being a total amateur, because in your case, having half-knowledge means you are embarrasing yourself. Show me something with Tegra power level AND RAM next time...
