Re: Rumour: Get That Salt Ready, Apple Is Reportedly Working On A Nintendo Switch-Style Hybrid Console

What I can guarantee is this won’t be a 300 dollar machine. If they do bring one to market it will be 400-500 easy. That alone without a major IP it won’t sell. The thing people have to realize is console sell on the back of exclusive ips. If there is a game available on another console why would I go buy this console just for it? Switch became a hit based on Zelda and Odyssey being available. This along with the hybrid functionality. This thing would be dead in the water IMO.

Re: Soapbox: The Modern Games Industry Has A Hype Problem, And It Needs To Stop

There has always been hype. This isn’t an issue from the gamers perspective. I think developers should stop trying to hype there own games that won’t potentially live up to what they stated it would. Stop using the graphics buzz words to market and promote their games. A great game should speak for itself. Take a look at BOTW. Nintendo released that amazing prelaunch trailer. We saw a bit of the game at the E3 prior to its release. But overall the gameplay spoke for itself. Playing the game is what matters. Hype in itself isn’t a bad thing. It’s not bad for me as a consumer and gamer to be excited for a game. Developers just need to focus on making the game as great as they can within the constraints of the console and the engine they are using.
