CD Projekt Red - "NX Will Be Fantastic" [Up: Umm... err... well... haha?]
- Thread starter axisofweevils
- Start date
But doesn't he mention how they (European Devs) were very unimpressed with the Wii? I get the feeling that the NX is at least good enough for them to work with, and not just on "Gwent"
That would be FAR too much work to stick on only one platform. If that happened, it'd come to everything.
It's interesting how people are saying everything from "slightly stronger than Wii U" to "significantly stronger than PS4," and how certain people are treating even the latter end of that as a sign Nintendo is underpowered because they'd still be weaker than Neo and Scorpio.
I personally don't really care how strong it is, but it's funny how the range of speculation goes all the way from about half a teraflop to two teraflops. Pretty massive range there.
Regardless of how strong the GPU is it'll be significantly better performing than the Wii U. The system won't have an ancient CPU like the Wii U did and it'll certainly have far more than the Wii U's 2 GB of RAM...those updates alone will do wonders to modernize it.
Not anymore. Cyberpunk will further shift them to being console focused first and foremost.
Okay, so meaningless comment beyond confirming that they have kits. Carry on, I suppose.
I'm confused, how/why would he do PR for them but not be employed by them?
Fabian Döhla mentioned that he could see the Nintendo NX behind closed doors at the Nintendo Booth at E3 2016
And yet no show from Nintendo, so odd.
Not that odd. Lots of behind closed doors meetings among executives, developers etc. Heard several bits of rumbling all throughout E3 that NX was being shown to select parties.
Any rumbling back after the fact?
Never followed up on the rumblings. The limited nature of access at that stage. No one would openly state anything of value. They could track down a leak from backdoor meetings way too easy
Yeah. There is a reason why things aren't leaking following E3 on NX. May get more bits from developers similar to this interview, but nothing too in-depth (unless the person is incredibly stupid).

Yeah, I think people are way too caught up in the idea that console sales are some kind of zero sum game. Nintendo succeeding in their plan to expand the market for gaming outside of the core is the kind of thing that can drive private investment into the gaming industry as a whole and create a better environment for everyone who makes and plays games. Money means jobs and ideas are getting funded, and that means good times for gamers of all stripes.

Excuse my ignorance, but how does the host know that Scorpio will be vastly more powerful than NX?
It's likely/guaranteed to be due to the release window, but seems like an odd absolute to throw out there when afaik the NX is still a mystery spec-wise.
Hopefully we see what this thing actually is soon.

he's assuming
Well it's like Fabian said, realistically Nintendo will not compete with Scorpio.
That'd be sorta cool but man ain't nobody gonna wanna go back and play The Witcher 1, now. 2 can still stand on its own, in my opinion, but 1 is old and flawed.
Unless by Remasted, you mean Remade, heh. I wouldn't necessarily be against that, but I'd also rather see new stuff. Cyberpunk 2077 exists of course, but what I mean is although personally I am fond of good remakes, in this case, gimme something else, heh.
...
ahem
That aside, this is a super interesting thing to hear from CDPR. Never thought I'd see them talking about the NX at all. Nintendo I need some damn infooooooooooo!

Its about time the nx got some hype - it seems to have died down a lot due to the lack of show at e3.
I truly hope their next home console is amazing and has a great launch line up. Tbh zelda is all i need on launch!

It's a fairly safe assumption. Scorpio being a 6TF machine launching in late 2017 vs a March 2017 machine rumored to be priced in an affordable range.

We-he-he-heeeelllllllllll.
While this is good on the face...no developer is going to come out and say what they really think of the NX and ruin potential partnerships/relationships either good or bad. Just the generic "It'll be cool!" type stuff.
So...its just lipservice until I see CDP games on the console. =P

But will you release games on it?

Well Ken Levine isn't CDPR
DICE and other third-party developers weren't shy saying Wii U was shit.

Sounds like they just wanna sell more Gwent to Nintendo owners
Before. The Wii U was publicly attacked by developers prior to launch. I understand being pessimistic about anything said by a developer/publisher/PR before the NX is officially revealed.
Yeah I definitely recall a number of devs shitting on Wii U prior to launch.
I feel like I also remember Take Two shitting on the Wii prior to its launch, but that could just as easily have been after power stuff was revealed.

As long as the NX is at least on par with current gen consoles and is dev friendly, it will make sense to be fantastic .
.Take Two CEO was extremely pessimistic about the Wii U before it was out. Which is why Strauss seemingly more positive about NX is something

Well hmmm they did show the Gwent Card game
Feels like Nintendo's finally getting some good word of mouth after a long time.

The NX is so fantastic for GWENT®: The Witcher Card Game
