No. Also, it's unlikely to be smaller because nodes smaller than 40nm are expensive.

There is somewhat reasonable evidence to suggest 32nm is possible.

That said.

Went to see The Avengers again. Anything interesting missed today?

[Penguin]

Changed slightly, but basically yeah. "I always feel a little bit disappointed when I'm playing these mature titles on Nintendo platforms I feel like I could just get so much more if I was playing it on a different system" It was about the 3DS i think.

She is a special kind.

Remember, I think it was Galaxy 2 she hated for its kiddie graphics or something.

and then she brought ratchet & clank in as the counterpoint which is really unfair to ratchet & clank as it's a great series and it brought a lot of actual hate on a crack in time from pissed nintendo fans.

a crack in time was fantastic. and it had charles martinet.

[Terrell]

Hah, it was a bit long to be considered a "mini" reveal. But it was definitely more of a teaser than a blowout. A lot of the questions answered this time around will give us a concise idea of what Nintendo's game plan is. There are so many variables that will have to be unveiled then. Not just stuff like "which games does it have" and "how fast is it", but things like "Does Nintendo plan on early profitability", "what further actions is Nintendo taking to secure third parties", "What are the limits on the digital downloading ecosystem", all sort of stuff like that! It's going to be slightly exciting.

If you're expecting these issues to be addressed at E3, you're mistaken. It will likely be addressed in interviews and investor meetings after E3 has long passed.

[JGS]

So I got this from that banned site that you can Go to for Nintendo and stuff So guys, what's your opinion (;

AlmostThought I was positive that ********** is not a banned sight, just one that classified as needing to be careful with. There was clarification of this in a previous speculation thread but I'll take a correction on it.

EDIT: Never mind. My post self corrected lol!

Anyway I would think the PC won, then Wii lol.

Yeah The Ratchet and Clank series is one of the few games series that I think does humor well.

But.. yeah.. probably.. not her best defense. Nor.. should a "professional" who gets paid to be articulate.. retort to such... simple.. insults

~Edit!
Re-watching Sony at e3 2005.. and they are going into insane details about the PS3.. but its SO boring. It took them 38 minutes to finally show a tech demo. >.<

[bryanee]

E3 is so god damn close.



I'm ready, just get this rat arse month out the way. Screw you May.

[Anth0ny]

So it seems Sony may not be televising their presser (not quite sure if the site confirms it) http://www.joystiq.com/2012/05/08/so...-it-will-be-s/ I wonder if this whole G4 business will mean Nintendo's won't be televised either.

That kinda sucks. I've been watching all the E3 Press Conferences on G4 for as long as I can remember.

Gametrailers it is.

I heard Spike TV was also going to show the conferences.

G4 released a press release saying they were covering all the major press conferences this year, so I assumed they meant televised. I'm kind of counting on it considering I have satellite connection, so this is concerning....

[GameplayWhore]

Good point, though I am expecting to hear things that do clue us in on Nintendo's third party efforts. We should be given a lot of information on how their online services work, for one thing, don't you think?

[Terrell]

Well, yeah, services-wise, we'll know everything. From an end user perspective. Except for anything to do with money or 3rd-party relations (they'll talk games, but not business) or.. or... or.....

Nintendo will do what they always do: show you what you'll get when you have their console in your home. Nothing more or less.

I did make a note.. if the site was right.. it seems like.. they were just equating the fact that Sony didn't say it would be televised.

[Fantastical]

I'm getting pretty hyped for Aliens: Colonial Marines with Prometheus coming out soon. If this has improved Wii U features including the motion tracker I'm probably going to be buying this around launch. Looks really good!

If the only thing to hate about Nintendo at E3 2010 was...Morgan Webb's moronic comments on Nintendo, then that's an E3 I can live with. :) Pereira's last dance will be his E3 2012 coverage so hopefully that will take away some time from Morgan's predictable trolling at the show.

[Terrell]

I finally remembered what this upcoming generation is missing....


CASTLE VIDCONS.


Let's Kickstarter the shit out of that.

However the game itself turns out, Gearbox are serious about the quality of the game's fan service. They even talked to Ridley Scott asking him for advice on the look and feel of some of the environments and Fox has placed the game as official canon in the series, pretty cool. And Lance Hendrickson is doing Bishop's voice.

I'd settle for an enhanced port of AX/GX (HD, online, tablet decals drawing, etc) on the eShop...might even prefer it cause I never got into the Nintendo developed ones.

GX/AX with a track editor and file sharing would satisfy me.

[BurntPork]

There is somewhat reasonable evidence to suggest 32nm is possible. That said. Went to see The Avengers again. Anything interesting missed today?

Yeah, but it seems really unlikely imo.

However, I will say that 1TFLOP becomes possible at 32nm. Still not gonna happen, though.

Haha I wish, I'm in Georgia btw.

Doing the same lol

It's gonna be a jam. I'll be having TWO PEOPLE over who care about video games as much as me.

It's like the super bowl, except better.

[Redford]

Hopefully this year I'll have an afternoon shift at my job, so I can be around for the morning carnage. ^^

[The Xtortionist]

It's like the super bowl, except better.

I know, right! Last E3 I literally did not sleep the night before day 1. I was that excited. Was glued to Gametrailers (decent coverage, btw) until about 3pm. Then I went down like soft poop in the rain.

[GameplayWhore]

It's too bad, as that'd be a nice box to check from a marketing perspective. To certain niches, being able to call themselves "the first and only teraflops capable video game system in history" would have given that particular target audience something to latch onto beyond "probably faster than what's in my living room".

[Linkhero1]

I'm watching it with family!

It's going to be amazing. :)

[HylianTom]

Rant/idea mode: ON!

The more I think about G4 and "special" gaming media personalities, the more I wish that Nintendo would quit playing nice with these outlets. A few weeks ago, I mentioned a deep desire that Nintendo cut outlets away from the gravy train of free review copies, exclusive interviews, access to events, etc. People claimed that we'd see the perception of reviews of Nintendo games then being tainted, since the reviews would be coming from Nintendo's "favored" sites.

A revised proposal: instead of tearing-down access and communication between Nintendo and, for example, Gamespot or G4 or 1Up, perhaps Nintendo would be better served by granting more access to the many fan-run community websites. The Go Nintendos, the Radio Free Nintendos, the *nfendos (not sure if they're banned - apologies if they are), the Zelda Dungeons, etc.

Include the big sites in the list to receive review copies, to have basic access to large events, etc. Fine. But when it comes time to decide on an interview location, maybe it's time to consider RawMeatCowboy? Or perhaps a panel-style interview from the podcast crew at RadioFreeNintendo? When Nintendo wants to drop a bomb, instead of running to IGN with the news, why not let one of the fan-run sites be the scene of the crime? And after a major event, why not let one of the dedicated fansite reporters do the exclusive interview afterwards?

Why give these features to one of the big sites? Why build them up and give them such goodies, when they're going to marginalize and/or insult your fanbase on a regular basis? Why pass-up the chance to increase that sought-after sense of community by going with one of the fan-run sites?

As a result of this kind of change, members of the Nintendo community begin to sense that, hey, Nintendo treats these fan-run sites pretty seriously, and with proper respect. These guys pour many, many hours into these sites.. sometimes their lives. With the fanbase seeing that Nintendo sometimes goes to these smaller sites, maybe they'll start to hit the RFN or the Go Nintendo bookmark instead of the IGN or the VG247 bookmark when it comes to seeking news.

There are enough Morgan Webb, Luke Smith, and Robert Summa-wannabees out there. Nintendo needs to stop rewarding this behaviour.

Take those clicks away. Weaken the biggies. Build-up that sense of community. Bring-up the fan-run sites. I'd see it as a win-win-win situation.

[Terrell]

I KNOW, right? Hence, Kickstarter. It needs to return in a bad way. The only gaming-related funny I get in a given week is LoadingReadyRun, Dorkly and Lore in a Minute.

Now that's cool! I don't think my wife will get up at 4am to share the "nerdiness" with me. Hopefully when my little boy and girl grow up, they will :)

It would be nice for them to return.

Also thanks fore Lore in a Minute. Haven't seen any of these before. Going to kill a few minutes watching some of their episodes.

Now that's cool! I don't think my wife will get up at 4am to share the "nerdiness" with me. Hopefully when my little boy and girl grow up, they will :)

It's all about the family. 4 AM is pretty early but if your kids can watch with you and share your excitement, that's more than awesome.

I'll be watching it all alone with you guys and gals. My best hope to meet Nintendo-lovin' friends here in New Orleans will probably be when camping time comes in the fall.

[Fantastical]

You should come over to my place. I'm inviting friends and ordering pizza!

Lol, I wish I knew people that cared about video games as much as I do.

[HeySeuss]

I remember when I said Nintendo wouldn't release pricing or release date info at E3. And you all laughed at me and said how rediculous I was. Good times. Good times.

[abstract alien]

2) Release date? Tuesday November 13th

I think everything in your post is more likely to happen before this...

[HylianTom]

Lol, I wish I knew people that cared about video games as much as I do.

Same here. When I mention to anyone in real life the concept of taking time off for a game, they look at me like I've grown a third eye.

Yes, it's important to me, real-life folks. Sheesh.

I've learned to largely not speak of it aloud, unless I'm in friendly company.
