Re: Fortnite Developers Discuss The Constant Crunch Required To Maintain The Game

That's exactly something that needs fixing. They're riding the wave now, yet the game will be past its bell curve sometime this year, probably. Perhaps they'll be able to create a healthy cadence in order to make it and the team responsible live long and prosperous. The game certainly has that potential.

It's risky business too - 9 women don't make a baby in a month, as the saying goes. You don't want the people who have the knowledge of the inner workings to leave, or worse. That'll be a fast death sentence.

I hope epic gets it together in order to make this work out best it can. Hyper growth, hyper tension, but you'll need a scaling plan for your business and people.

I'd recommend mr shifty, it's a great game.

@construx you have a point here. This is mediocrity jungle 2.0. Some gems for sure, but the jungle is incomprehensible.

I want the big full games, and not just the ps/xbox types. After a great year from Zelda to arms to splatoon to xenoblade, where is my pikmin?

Re: Talking Point: What Does Google's Stadia Mean For Nintendo And The Future Of Gaming?

It'll be the future, whether in this form or the next.

I'm one of those gamers that opt for seamless quality experiences, though. So less friction for the access is a bonus, more dependencies on the local infrastructure is a minus.

This is the format of the future, they're just a bit too early for it to be mainstream. But that's the clever part - they have the resources to just play the long haul - so I expect it to stay and expand slowly, over time.

Re: Media Create Boss Says Switch Will Have A Seven Year Life Cycle, Sales To Grow In Third Year

I remember Iwata wanted to copy the models from how phones work. Which would mean that, in essence, end of this year could see a new switch with upgraded internals. The old one still completely supported, just with a lower quality setting.

Then, later on, switch will have another revision. this time, switch 3 has some games that require switch 2 at minimum. This current model will then still play a lot of games, just not all of them.

Something like that.
