Re: Talking Point: How Much Is Your Video Game Collection Really Worth To You?

Bosh_Factory

I have a tasty collection of Amiga games (and their huge boxes) and three Amigas to play them on.

But the emotional heart of my collection is my complete collection of Amiga Power, (including issue 0) and the disks, postcards, posters, books, etc. I'm currently reading through them and the nostalgia is great of course but the best thing is seeing the first seeds of the future appear: the demise of the Amiga, the impending arrival of the SNES in the UK, a rumoured thing called the PSX, a FIFA game (which was full of scripting and could do with a sequel), a Gamesmaster TV programme (also full of scripting and in need of sequels), the Internet, jokes about Michael J (snip, that's enough seeds of the future - ed).

Would I sell it all? Yes, once the novelty of nostalgia has worn off.

Re: The Current State Of Virtual Reality Just Isn't Fun, Says Nintendo's Reggie Fils-Aime

To avoid eye strain and fatigue a VR headset needs both screens to render images at a high resolution and a high frame rate (unless graphics quality is to be significantly compromised). This will be a challenge for Nintendo if it is to continue with its low cost approach to console hardware with the NX. So, I suspect that Reggie might be trying to downplay the charms of VR so that people don't consider its absence from the NX an important issue when deciding whether to buy one.

In other words, Reggie might be trying to shape our expectations to match what the NX is going to offer. It'll be interesting to see if this downplay of VR is a message that Nintendo continues with in the future.

I see the future of the SP campaign being an action puzzler, like a more platform-orientated version of Portal. The current SP felt more like a test of ideas (great ideas) with too much potential left untapped.

In the meantime I'd like to see some of those ideas appear in MP maps, such as the sponge bridges and ink jet transporters, with both teams jostling to control them.
