Re: Editorial: Cutting Edge Visual Splendour vs. 60 Frames-Per-Second - Between a Rock and a Hard Place

Personally, I can live with 720p games but framrate means a lot more to me. I can deal with 30fps on handheld and mobile, on console it really ruins it for me. It's way more noticible to me. I can live with it I guess, but somehow I have a feeling big games wont achieve high fps or high resolution on Switch, and that's very disappointing to me, who, as a customer, will likely never take the $300+ system outside my front door.

Re: Poll: The Nintendo NX - Where Do You Stand on the Future of Nintendo?

personally, I think the rumored leaks sound terrible. something as expensive as a console shouldn't be treated like a handheld. it'll break easily. and sure, I could keep my nx at home and safe, but the design decision will affect the console's power and potentially even gameplay, if it expects you to play Pokemon Go or similar game-types on it.

Re: Talking Point: SEGA Has the Right Idea With Its Upcoming Sonic Projects

I was disapointed with the Mania announcement, got excited when they said that it wasn't project 2017, and then they said it wasn't a sequel, but then it was just sonic generations again. And by the looks of it, it'll likely take the gameplay of generations but without the nostalgic levels. Which unfortunately was the only thing I liked about generations. Unfortunately, Sonic Mania looks better than 2k17 to me. And unfortunately, the sonic advance trilogy looks better than mania to me. Maybe if they announce more characters for either game I'll be interested, or maybe if they somehow get Jaleel White to play classic sonic it could at least be funny.

Re: Feature: What Are Your Thoughts, So Far, on Pokémon GO?

If they fix all the freezes an optimize the menus to be less cpu intensive, it'll be great. An extra plus if they add some performance options to turn things off like the dynamic backgrounds or even to simplify animations and models. Basically, make the game playable and I'll be happy. As it stands now, I have very mixed feelings as I've yet to take a trip that didn't have technical issues.

Re: Crush 40 Facebook Post, Since Deleted, Points to 25th Anniversary Sonic Game

I've no issues with Lost World, it was a good base and an interesting experiment for the franchise. And while I'm not a fan of the formula, the smartest thing they could do would be to make another generations/colors style game.Personally, though, I miss multiple playable characters. I love playing Tails and Amy and Shadow and Silver and the whole crew. I mean, boom and 06 had those as features, but... they could do better.

Re: Weirdness: Someone Has Created A Real-World HUD For Super Mario 64

Certainly interesting, but an external display for old games seems a little pointless. I guess it'd be cool to have external data that isn't normally displayed, like a map, would be cool. i'm sure if he kept going and streamlined the design you could get some cool things, but, it'd be easier to do work on a game programmed with external transmission intentionally in mind.

Re: Super Smash Bros. Fan Provides a Suprisingly Detailed 20 Point Plan to Improve the Wii U Version

Eh... some ideas are okay. I don't agree with a lot of his alpha setups, but I would certainly appreciate some nice stages for for glory mode. Most of his character balances are ridiculous, imo. Especially what he proposed for link and toon link. And I don't think he realizes how much a lot of his team heal suggestions can be abused. At least it was an interesting read.
