I've read it. I agree it's not as bad as one would first imagine, but it's still a fucking joke.AniHawk said:So... did anyone, besides myself, read the article? It wasn't as harsh as the title makes it seem.

White Man said:You really need to see a video of that one to get the effect though.
White Man said:Not that I see. If it is anything like their Taxi game, there very possibly could be DS ports of these in the future!

My mistake. They've expressed these sorts of complaints in the past on 1UP/EGM podcasts. It was entirely plausible that it finally made its way from an ill-conceived idea into an ill-conceived article.Grecco said:It was written by Seanbaby/thread.

Slavik81 said:Why exactly is it a bad thing that they let people develop that stuff? If it's not a good game, don't buy it.
Do you really want Nintendo, Sony and Microsoft choosing what games you're allowed to play?
Umm yeah, so we're on the same page. What's your point?super funk said:

No they don't. The mountain of utter crapola headed to Wii and DS is amazing. Very little of it would pass certification at SCEA, and certainly not at Microsoft.DeaconKnowledge said:Microsoft and Sony wish they had this content.
The Nintendo Seal of Quality (currently known as Official Nintendo Seal in NTSC regions) is a gold seal that was first used by Nintendo of America and later adopted by Nintendo of Europe which places it on any game licensed for use on one of its video game consoles, denoting that the game has been properly licensed by Nintendo (and in theory, been checked for quality).
The current Official Nintendo Seal is explained as follows: The official seal is your assurance that this product is licensed or manufactured by Nintendo. Always look for this seal when buying video game systems, accessories, games, and related products.
Aside from being more general in its description, the Official Nintendo Seal does not vouch for quality like the old Official Nintendo Seal of Quality did.

The article is a Seanbaby "Rest of the Crap" style piece. For those familiar with Seanbaby, you ought to know the appropriate response. For those who are not, taking Seanbaby seriously would be like getting your Iraq war coverage from Bozo the Clown.
I think the point is that, in this day and age, SCEA and Microsoft enforce meaningful certification standards, whereas Nintendo has apparently chosen not to.White Man said:The article is a joke for many reasons, not the least of which is that the question cited in the title of this topic has been asked ever since the NES days. Remember shit like Chubby Cherub? There were more garbage games on the NES than there are on the Wii. Does EGM think they are clever asking something that every game fan has asked sometime over the course of the past two decades?

My guess is that they are not very interested in discouraging the perception that third party titles on their platforms are generally crap.
mepaco said:Since when? A quick glance at any release list will show that Sony and MS aren't stopping anybody from making crap for their platforms either.
Vyer said:Holy shit I've never seen White Van Racer before. that can't possibly be real.
But if it is, it's fuckin amazing.
MWS Natural said:But..but...it's HD crap!!!
I can't find the video for the life of me. It's called something like London Taxi or the like. It looked like an N64 port of Crazy Taxi. Insane pop in, non-existant textures, things just appearing when you got to close to them, out of nowhere.
itxaka said:Wait, are you sure of that? maybe is another of those 640p titles....

On other things, the soccer game. And not, it´s not a joke. the game is like that.

Wow, you weren't even picking up people, but arrows. Huge buildings just popped out of no where! Wow... i feel sorry for whoever bought that.Stop It said:Ok, that video made me choke, not out of laughter mind you, out of horror, that was on PS2? My god Pheonix games, what the hell were you thinking, it puts the "Car Vault" pics into perspective, at least that has some texture work, haha.
