5th Cell - Scribblenauts would definitely work on other platforms

No its great, why would you want Nintendo in control of them? They are making GREAT games! Why must every great dev be under the umbrella of one of the big three. God I hate that.

Well it would suck equally on the Wiimote and with a stupid analog stick so its really pointless to argue either.
And lol at "OMG this should be HD, and with Co-op vs battles" what in the fuck.... Guys seriously...
Yeah, Scribblenauts definitely needs DLC words, they clearly aren't adding enough because of the limitations of the DS. With HD, on the other hand, the possibilities would be limitless! They could add co-op and deathmatches! And imagine the incredible mods people would make on the PC!
Yeah guys, whatever you say. But I have the feeling some of you people have no clue about this game.

The game is probably going to miss only extremely obscure and over-specialized stuff. So why on earth would they bother releasing DLC packs for stuff no one will ever use or know anything about?
The only DS hardware-related limitations I see are the somewhat simple physics and the few objects you can spawn at the same time. Of course the game would benefit by more powerful hardware and of course it would still work on other platforms, but people suggesting DLC, mods and deathmatches should probably watch a few more gameplay videos.

Which is probably why they didn't mention any other platforms, and instead just responded with a standard boilerplate "you never know what'll happen!" kind of response.

Again, iPhone is a technologically suitable platform thanks to the touchscreen, but unless you can point to a game that's been a success there at a $30 pricepoint I'm pretty sure this won't actually happen.

Seriously. "Port-begging" over a DS game is one of the saddest things you will ever witness this gen. Sadder than the DD meme that has become the norm in any 2D game topic.

Why not? How is it not beneficial to everyone if they port it?Forkball said:
I mean, it's not like you get any advantages in case they never port this game; quite the opposite, really..
Support is still nil and shit. No updates. Limited resolution. Limited asset space. And so on..
This game makes more sense on the iPhone for the majority of adult gamers, we have our iPhones on us all the time. It'd be awesome to dick around in Scribblenauts at the doctor's office for example. God knows that the App Store more AAA titles, it's got some fine games, but it needs more. I'm just wondering if this game can be sold on the platform at a higer price and succeed, it seems like any game over $10 bombs regardless of quality. Of course at that price point they could make some good money of the game still, the iPhone/iPod Touch userbase is massive and growing every day.

Why doesn't Bioware port Mass Effect to the PS3 or why doesn't Konami port MGS4 to Xbox 360?wmat said:
I'm just tired of people complaining about how it's only on the DS. If you want to play a game, you buy the system for that game. That's how it works. Not to mention the DS is an amazing system that everyone should already own. It is the cheapest of the current gen systems, has a large variety of genres, some of the most "hardcore" titles, games from esteemed franchises like Mario, Metroid, Ninja Gaiden, Final Fantasy etc, and without the DS's success, games like Scribblenauts wouldn't even be possible. 5th Cell would probably rather sell its game for $30 to a user base of over 100 million anyways.
Assume you're being serious, you just referenced games on three different platforms, including the PC. But more importantly, way to misquote.PseudoKirby said:
He was referring to Scribblenauts specifically, and he said they didn't/haven't limited it in their heads. He was being diplomatic and didn't promise anything, other than saying that when they designed it, they didn't think of their design as exclusively locked to a DS. He sure wasn't saying that they haven't limited past games to a single platform.Full question and answer from OP said:
wmat said:
It'll be downgraded without touch screen.
I think we should be begging Square-Enix to port Dissidia or Crisis Core over to the PS2. These 2 games will certainly benefit the FF7 fans without a PSP
This is getting stupid. When talks of port is possible, the non-owners of the console suddenly talks about moral and how it should be ported to benefit everyone, when they've been neglecting it all along in the first place.
Don't worry, this young and small team is totally going to make you a self-funded PS360 cinematic third person shooter RPG with driving sequences, a true and complete high definition experience, just because they don't like to limit themselves. Who cares about budgets and manpower after all?PseudoKirby said:
This besides the fact the quote simply meant "we never limited to the DS while designing this game".
Child labour at 5th Cell am confirmed? :OJackson said:
Here's a shot of some playtesters trying out Scribblenauts on the "Mansfield HRX-2000".
Radiation distorts the surrounding space around the unit which causes those men to look super deformed and almost child-like.
If you don't have (or haven't had) a DS or a PS2, consider your gamer card revoked.BorkBork said:
It's pretty much like claiming to be movie experts without having watched Hitchcock and Kubrick movies.

Well, seeing as the ds runs circles around every console and pc out at the moment when it comes to quality games...and innovative ones...my statement stands.Black_Ice said:

The last time I was at the dentist, me and the 55-year old lady sitting across from me both had our DSes out for the half-hour until we got called on, so what's your excuse?
Jocchan said:
Pretty much. PS2 dominated over the competition like nothing else since the NES, with domination across literally every game genre barring, perhaps, FPS; DS is an incredible system that not only revitalized tons of moribund genres but also brought great options to the table in many still popular fields, plus more cool, clever niche designs (like Scribblenauts!) than the other four current-gen systems put together. And both can be had today for $129 USD or less! Port-begging from either is just kind of sad.
wmat said:
Because it's already on the most successful dedicated game platform of all time, which approximately 250% of everybody already owns?

3 Mobile Games, a PC game, then a bunch of DS games..... I was saying that as far as platforms... thats really limiting..

Wii with pointer controls for text entry. I hate playing portable games when I'm at home and don't have a use for portable gaming very often, so I've missed out on a decent amount of DS games... Scribblenauts won't be one of said missed out games, but damn, I wish there was a home console version coming.

That's why they make games where you can turn the DS sideways...flip that sucker sideways and people just think you're improving the power of your mind (even if you're actually just slaying hoardes in Ninja Gaiden).

It doesn't make you a bad person, just establishes you as a relatively casual (in the dictionary sense, not the retarded GAF sense) gamer and excludes you from ever, ever, ever whining about a game being exclusive to either.
