Proof of Concept:

A proof of concept (POC) or a proof of principle is a realization of a certain method or idea to demonstrate its feasibility,[1] or a demonstration in principle, whose purpose is to verify that some concept or theory has the potential of being used. A proof of concept is usually small and may or may not be complete.

That would be all well and good- if they hadn't already told us they will be releasing N3DS compatibility.

Yeah OK, and what good is being shown the potential of a product, apart from a nasty move by the already grossly overcharging capitalist company that is GW to get more sales?

Marketing and customer prospects. By releasing the POC they are basically expanding their customers by expanding the consoles in which it is compatible with. Even though the video is a proof of concept, every POC somehow ends up turning into a WIP or a full release.

If you can't deliver, don't promise. Don't say "right round the corner" when you mean "in a few months' time"

They haven't delivered... yet.
No one ever said they won't, and certainly their "Soon" trademark has driven users insane and desperate.
There's no reason to, though. They never gave a fully fledged release date, so I don't see why everyone is so mad.

It's like waiting for Half Life 3. XD

Yes they will be releasing it, at the time of the video is was merely a POC. By the Ultra release it became WIP explicitly.

Gateway never say a specific release date ... Just pointing this

I think that's kind of the problem

It's like a virus!

It just keeps spreading and spreading.
I like to call it the "G-Virus" like in RE2.
Just that here the G stands for Gateway.

And the antidote is 3.1...

I leave the train. Found a practically new regular 3ds with 8.0 for 70 euros, cheap then a sky3ds and i can use my gateway. Now I hope that gateway don't release the update in a couple of day or I'll be pissed off bye

Godspeed, soldier.
We'll continue to push forward on this war.

Yep, apparently my introduction of valve time did little to alleviate the 10yos anxiety attacks.

I wonder...

... oh well...

Damn, we do need a popcorn emote. XD

This will have to do...

Spoiler: FREE POPCORN

Indeed this thread is interesting.

There are other things to be concerned about outside of GW, but they keep coming back about it. I don't know why, freakin hilarious.

What the fuck did append to this thread? I go to sleep, wake up and mostly 2 pages has been removed during my sleep.

And by the way, yeah, never again I'll pre-order a game I never tried before. Exception for pre-orders of remastered games with promotions (Homeworld Remastered ! \o/).

 

[Suthek]

We should all be happy that Gateway even exists. This should be a peaceful place for gateway supporters. Maybe everyone needs flowers.

So how long does Chinese New Years last? I've been told over 6 days.

So how long does Chinese New Years last? I've been told over 6 days.

Started on Feb 19th and lasts 15 days. Today is the 8th day and most return to work by the 8th day.

You've done nothing but defend Gateway. The expectations of people in this thread are the furthest thing from unreasonable. They've been promised "soon" for over three months now. The last thing anybody in this thread needs is you and your poor intelligence on the matter. If you can't see that this thread is 95% hype, you're as blind as you are thick. Gateway is liable to business laws for every country for which they wish to sell their product in. Pick up a book, or just stop talking when you've got no clue what crap you're spouting.

No shit this thread is 95% hype. I never said it wasn't. If you would actually understand the words you read, you'd see that I was saying that people are making baseless assumptions on emails from "people from Gateway."

And if Gateway is so liable, then get a lawyer. See how far you get. Their website and the retailers they sell to make NO CLAIM that N3DS support is guaranteed.

If there is a retailer or a Gateway website that says otherwise, screenshot it, put it on imgur, and post it here. I'd like to see it.

Otherwise, they hype in this thread is told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing.

Get over it.

It seems like Depravo is on fire, off topic posts don't last even one minute. Good job there.
