Another delay?

I can’t believe you forgot the 10 second explosions that are death zones and everything that’s destructible explodes too.

Maybe the fax machine remains popular because to a Japanese businessman, they just punch in 11 numbers instead of having to fiddle with English characters and that funny looking circle sign.

Pokemon is just one big misunderstood franchise from start to finish.

I’ve been looking at the whole “lane density” idea of traffic flow and so far have been finding it pretty consistent. For instance, when I’m going up to LA from San Diego and there’s traffic in Orange County, I ease over to the right lane. For some reason every one migrates towards the left lane, and the right lane…

Also one more point, day one patches are kind of a win-win for publishers anyway. You release a game that’s not quite polished but good enough, people buy it up, they find any problems, you tell them you’ll fix it (or already have a fix). It’s just easier to ask for forgiveness and follow up on it.

I get what your saying but publishers and pointy haired bosses aren’t really that nice. To them, a delay means more money in the sink, regardless of whether or not the developer thinks it’ll improve things. The publishers don’t care about what the developer thinks, they care about that the software shipped and it gets…

And that’s what Nintendo was going after with the Game Genie: run-time modification = derivative work = copyright infringement.

I’m sure the EULA contains a clause (in addition to “no cheating”) that you cannot make a derivative work of the game. Cheating in online games like this normally involves modifying the client in some way to gain an advantage, or doing something to that effect. Nintendo tried to make it so that run-time modification…

While I’m sure there’s a cheating clause in most games’ online portion of the EULA, I did find this in Rockstar’s EULA:

It depends on what the software itself is doing. The group attacking the servers and circumventing its rules is different than the software sending false data or manipulating the client to a player’s advantage. If the software itself was attacking the servers, then that’s a different can of worms.

I wonder if the precedent set by the Game Genie lawsuit has any weight here. Nintendo tried to sue them for similar reasons.

Isn’t this why you have examples of your work beforehand? Though I’m thinking more of creative fields like art and writing.

The guy who made Bleemcast went on to work for Sony in the end to create a PS1 emulator, or at least help with their emulation efforts on subsequent PlayStation generations.

On the other hand, I like how easy going FFXIV is for me. This is the first MMO I’ve dumped probably weeks total of game time into and keep coming back to it. If it was unforgiving and hard, I probably would’ve avoided it, especially if it starts feeling like a second job. I heard from my brother who played FFXI a…

One could argue F1 racing is a test of human skill and athleticism. F1 drivers have to be physically fit in order to endure the abuse their body gets. As some measure of proof to that, people who play very high level racing sims who got to drive such cars were noted to still be good skill wise, but they couldn’t do…

Who says you must run at native resolution? If you’re playing a modern AAA title, set the resolution down to 1440p and you’ll still get an amazing image on a 24" monitor (1440p on my 27" 4K monitor yields almost no appreciable quality degradation than a 1440p 27" monitor). Higher end cards like the GTX 1080 and 1070…

And as such, they have the power to say yay or nay to any official products.

Nintendo seems to be missing a lot of opportunities to make money. Even Squeenix who claims to take pride in every work has gone down the path of milking everything that people hold dear just to stay afloat. Nintendo needs to do the same :v

There’s a trope for this: Do well, but not perfect.
