This really doesn't look good for MS. People are hating many of the features on the XBone and now some markets wont get it on day 1. Is MS trying to guarantee Sony's sales victory?

like if they care about a tv box that don't let you do anything you want, this makes my happy for a single but powerful reason.
CAVE NOW WILL NEED TO RELEASE THEIR SHMUPS ON WII U OR PS4!!!!!!!
or release nothing...
They're already testing the waters by releasing Ketsui on the PS3 next month :D

I wasn't planning on buying an xbone so I couldn't care less it doesn't get released here in Japan.

Though it's awkward to see they're giving up and no longer see Japan as a key market.

wow a western company launching a western product in the west first this is so fucking unheard of.

Hey guys do you remember when the 3DS, Vita, Wii U, etc launched in Japan? Like months ahead of the rest of the world?

Like holy fuck are we so low that we're saying that a western company launching their product first and foremost in western countries is awful when Japanese companies do the flipside of that all the time and not a shit is given?

I know it's a whole year compared to a few months but still, the point still stands.

There's grasping for straws and then there's this.

Wait... who said it was awful. Admittedly I skim-read, but most people seem to be implying that nobody will give a fuck, not even Japan.

Well no one used the word "awful" but there is still criticism towards Microsoft waiting to release their console in Japan when Japanese companies wait to release their console in the rest of the world.

Some people seem to be just looking for reasons to add to the Microsoft hate recently. I almost feel sorry for them. Almost.

    If your internet speeds are fast enough. Streaming 4k takes alot. I used to only have 20mb sec, and 4k struggled. Now I have 300mb sec and 4k plays fine.

    Did you feed the hamster in your internet router? It prob died and is running slow now.

    @BigOnYa, why did you start saying my pc has a hamster in the first place?

    Its actua!ly just a old joke, meaning its slow. Was just kidding around with you.

    I think Game streaming should work like this.... Local Hardware able the run the game fine, game engine and common assets stored locally, all FMV and music and textures could be streaming

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Some temporary storage
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    also @BigOnYa im making some progress on my gdevelop project, implemented various mechanics
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    They went all in on streaming, should have been more of a hybrid approach

    Or free government supplied high speed internet be nice also. Like Obama care. Xdqwerty that's cool, its time consuming but rewarding once done or playable, to see what you've made from scratch. Animations take forever, but worth it.

    @BigOnYa, although the bullets are a bit buggy

    @BigOnYa,
    and the visual aspect of the game is quite crude (the sprite that looks best is that of the protagonist just because he is a stickman with sunglasses)

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    There is a bullets behaviour you assign to your character, that makes the code easier, under "behaviours"
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    i meant that when the character is pointing to the right, the bullets spawn where they should, but when he is on the right, they move to the right but the spawn point is incorrect
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Itch.io has lots of free assets also. Under the bullets behavior tab, there is a "rotate bullets" option, can try that. Or in the code can try
    - fire bullet Player.X(PlayerDirection)

    YEa gotta after a while, looking at code for long periods will bug your eyes.

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    That's cool tho, I'm proud of you going back to it, not giving up. It is difficult at first to learn, but fun once you get the hang of it. I think I've watched every tutorial video there is, but I still struggle sometimes to get stuff to work right. But gotta keep trying dif things, and eventually you will get it right.
