Support NeoGAF

[faint.]

You hope it's weaker than the Scorpio? To keep the cost low?

Not so much the latter, but it would be naive to expect it to be more than >6 tflops. I just found the comment pretty silly, considering they're using a console that won't launch until holiday 2017 as a baseline. The wording could be strange due to the translation.

I'm all for a super powerful Nintendo console, but to expect it to compete with Scorpio is pretty silly.

 

[Phediuk]

Remember when EA had nothing but glowing praise for the Wii U?

 

[NOLA_Gaffer]

I feel like I heard developers similarly excited about the Wii U.

 

[Femto.]

Okay, Nintendo, please step up and tell us what the eff NX is all about.

 

[Kimawolf]

Developers say nothing about NX

"Oh no, no one knows, Nintendo doomed, devs don't even like it."

Developers say positive things:

"eh i'll believe it when i see it."

lol.

 

[iBlue]

When they talk about the xbox are they referring to the current xbox one or project scorpio?

 

[blue_phazon]

This makes complete sense.

The NX will be around the base PS4 in terms of power, and that's completely okay because the base PS4 and Xbone will still be supported till the end of the generation.

Considering devs will still target the base PS4, and Xbone benchmarks for years (because all games are gonna be compatible with the iterative consoles), the NX shouldn't be difficult to port games for.

Just because iterative consoles exist, doesn't mean devs can't target lower benchmarks. It's just a matter of games being put on "medium" instead of "high" fidelity like on PC.

 

[wild wild rice]

Interesting. Sounds like he was a fan of Wii.

 

[VariantX]

Uhhh... I'd certainly hope so!

Lol yeah. Literally every other piece of console hardware including Neo would fit in the "much worse than Scorpio" category.

 

[AmyS]

Good, so NX will run The Witcher III as shown at E3 2013 and E3 2014.

 

[Veitsev]

Scorpio.

 

[Kimawolf]

Remember when EA had nothing but glowing praise for the Wii U?

I believe that had something to do with Origin and Nintendo declining the deal/changing Wii U at the last minute. Many devs thought Wii U would be stronger than it was. So something changed down the line.

 

[RobotVM]

Gotta pump up that Witcher 3 definite edition release on NX at launch. 1080x60

 

[KingBroly]

The Witcher III port incoming I imagine

The amiibo usage is going to be weird as hell. lol

 

[Maniel]

When they talk about the xbox are they referring to the current xbox one or project scorpio?

I read it as Scorpio because the current Xbox One isn't so new anymore

 

[Enter the Dragon Punch]

The amiibo usage is going to be weird as hell. lol

you know how you can visit brothels in the witcher 3?

i hope you saved your waluigi amiibo

 

[Ivan 3414]

Are you really comparing EA to CD Projekt Red

 

[Alienous]

Yeah, will wait for the Cyberpunk receipts.

 

[Vulcano's assistant]

The amiibo usage is going to be weird as hell. lol

New mustaches

 

[Justice_Bolt]

I can't wait for the NX reveal! I hope it's a least as strong as the xbox one.

 

[KingBroly]

I was thinking Mario, but that's much better, lol

 

[Neoleo2143]

Frankly, I don't See Xbox in the console run anymore, which is very concerning to me in regards to competition to Sony. It seems they've pretty much given up on exclusives and there's no real incentive to purchase a machine like Scorpio as a result.

If a Nintendo Machine can get Third Party Support from the corpse of Microsoft and compete, then it's alright for the market I suppose. But if Sony keeps the console mind share and Nintendo doesn't get any more mind share, I get very nervous for the future.

 

[Dmax3901]

I met Fabian at a preview event for Blood and Wine, he was generally really nice and super enthusiastic about his game. We really fed off each other's excitement (as I had just learned from him about Geralt getting his own vineyard thing).

He also stopped my playthrough at one point to turn the resolution up to 4k. Framerate dropped to around 30 but he said he loved the '4k look'.

Obviously I'm not suggesting the NX will support 4k, but it's perhaps worth noting that Fabien definitely isn't ignorant when it comes to high-end visuals and PC specifications. If he truly does have the scoop on the NX, I would say he's taken graphical prowess into consideration when saying that it'll be 'fantastic'.

 

[Lord of Ostia]

On Topic:
a really good sign, hope some good games come to it.

Best avatar quote I've ever seen.

Lol best post on gaf

 

[ROUGE_BLOCK]

Witcher 3 port, 2017! Or Gwent, fucking Gwent game coming 2017!

 

[Holundrian]

The amiibo usage is going to be weird as hell. lol

Crones amiibos, lol...

 

[JoeyJungle]

Do developers ever say negative things about upcoming hardware? Epic's "Two gamecubes duct taped together" comments about the Wii excluded.

 

[truestatic]

Developers say nothing about NX

"Oh no, no one knows, Nintendo doomed, devs don't even like it."

Developers say positive things:

"eh i'll believe it when i see it."

lol.

Regardless of what anyone says, it's hard to deny Nintendo's generally declining market share, or be optimistic about the NX's profits in the face of it. And in spite of a fair bit of optimistic talk from devs pre Wii U... here we are.

Wait and see seems like the right approach, here.

Heh, I chuckled cause it's true.

Wat?!

She'll go 300 hectares on a single tank of kerosene.

 

[Kimawolf]

One dev say Wii U is shit and figured because Mario doesn't need any CPU power. EA went from hyped as hell to nothing.

Yeah some do say sht.

 

[TheJoRu]

I don't expect the NX to be anywhere close to Neo or Scorpio. Whatever will get them to $299 with a small profit margin at launch is what I believe they'll do.

Anyway, good to hear CD Projekt RED likes it, but regardless of what they think of it I expect there to be a lot of "wait and see"-approaches from most publishers, particularly Western.

Hold the FUCK up.

CD Projekt RED said this!?

 

[RickyRozay]

As long as nintendo don't bring back the requirement of the nunchucks I might pick up an NX.

I think the more shocking thing is that CDPR has seen NX and/or has dev kits already.

And he already said it's not near Scorpio, which I don't think anyone's expecting.

 

[op_ivy]

Scorpio can wait!

 

[ShadowFox08]

Powerful than xbone 1? Yes. But definitely not as powerful as scorpio. Maybe another iteration or through scds a year after NX gets released.

I think it will be between PS4 and PS4 Neo in power tbqh. It could very easily be that at $300, but this isn't factoring any expensive innovation Nintendo might go through..

Yep. Certain people are going to interpret anything Nintendo-related as a sign of something negative.

 

[Kinyou]

Lmao they asked if he was lying?
What kind of interviewer is that lol, who will go to be interviewed by him in the future...
Unless he asked jokingly.

They're old friends. It's a very relaxed interview

 

[brandonh83]

I suspected it would be, but I ain't about to question someone that worked on The Witcher games.

 

[cw_sasuke]

Great to hear - stuff like Witcher on NX will def. help the system.

 

[wishdom]

Well that's more encouraging than Ubisoft's and Reggie's comments fore sure.

 

[JoeyJungle]

One dev say Wii U is shit and figured because Mario doesn't need any CPU power. EA went from hyped as hell to nothing.

Yeah some do say sht.

That was after it came out though. EA appeared in the pre-release montage video of devs talking about how great the hardware was.

OMG ALL OF THIS.

 

[aadiboy]

I don't really think this means they are developing a game for the NX.

 

[vasametropolis]

Don't believe his lies

 

[Archie]

How will a late port of an old game help a new system?

 

[MR ARCADE FOREVER]

Geralt amiibo confirmed?

 

[10k]

 

[Plinko]

That was after it came out though. EA appeared in the pre-release montage video of devs talking about how great the hardware was.

Devs on here confirmed that the specs Nintendo sent were much higher than the eventual devkit. Things changed.
