Even Gaf bans in this thread are going to be doing better numbers than WiiU NPD figures soon.

outstanding

you'd think from the title that it's an entry on a "games that will save the Vita" list but it's actually far better than that

This is probably the best post itt

 

[Hot Coldman]

Well, what defines an RPG to you?

Stat-based character progression, bare minimum. Zelda is item-based, so was ACII.

 

[maquiladora]

Oh man, salt and popcorn, a great combo.

 

[Dragon]

This thread is too much. I'm just going to sit on the sidelines for now.

I admire you for not striking back at that very awful comment. I would have been sensitive about it.

 

[Mileena]

Last year.

You mean that charcoal rubbing Uncharted spinoff? I don't think that counts as the gameplay is pretty different from the console versions.

 

[IceDoesntHelp]

This thread is nuts.

 

[KingFire]

You're not wrong, but at least I know on PS4 I'll get new IPs too.

And on Durango
And on the Wii U
And on the iPad
And on Android

 

[ASIS]

All this fuss over that comment? : /

This is just one weird way to express hype for the 20th.

 

[DaBoss]

I wonder if his parents even care that he was banned.

gaf bans will out number third party support for the Wii U

God damn, thread is ruthless.

All this fuss over that comment? : /

Nope, it's no longer about the comment, it's a war.

 

[lethial]

I love this shit. Heralds back to when companies had balls when it came to advertising (pre social media days).

 

[jello44]

I have a friend who considers Assassin's Creed an RPG

Wat

 

[kingkaiser]

the last of us should be pretty good. beyond will probably be horrendous, but that's okay because it comes with this warning label:

Well, to be honest I had quite some fun "playing" or better said experiencing Heavy Rain.

As a matter of fact, I had more fun with this interactive movie than with any Nintendo game which came out in the last 5 years (that was not a remake).

The last time a Nintendo game that managed to touch me on an emotional level like Heavy Rain did was in 2006 actually. It was Twilight Princess, the last outstanding BigN game for me.

I still have some faith in Miyamoto though. He is the one of the few left in this company who values good gameplay and innovation over infantile storytelling and assembly-line production.

 

[kinggroin]

bring back the crash bandicoot in front of Nintendo headquarters commercials, and I will love you again Sony.

 

[Neiteio]

I wouldn't count on new NSMB anytime soon. Instead, Nintendo will be bringing large-scale DLC, including 80+ Luigi-themed levels for NSMBU this year, according to the last Nintendo Direct.

 

[test_account]

Why? Because I think that gaming companies should spend more time celebrating and promoting their own creations rather than attacking the creations of other companies?

It is just an announcet to an event in a Google ad, it probably isnt that big. But i agree with what you say, it is better to focus on your own product instead. I think this will be the case when the real PS4 ad campaign start, that they will only focus on what it has to offer.

 

[Dragon]

You mean that charcoal rubbing Uncharted spinoff? I don't think that counts as the gameplay is pretty different from the console versions.

Its a third person shooter. Not much different. It was decent though!

 

[prwxv3]

Never thought the WiiU would get as amazing jokes as the Vita gets.

 

[AniHawk]

IF you are going to judge the differences between games based on three separate 'screenshots'...you have a bigger problem in your hands. It's even worse considering you remove visual differences from the equation lol Comparing screens but no difference other than visual differences? You don't say

well i was replying to the notion that once you remove the hud, the nsmb games would look alike. and that's pretty true. i was just saying it's a truth regarding sequels in general, and i had assumed he meant if you placed them side-by-side (which would probably mean screenshots). it wasn't meant as a dig towards a uncharted. although in my comparison, i did say that the first and second game do look pretty different, so you would be able to tell they were not the same thing. it's really the second and third you might not see the differences at a glance.

 

[Brofist]

Nintendo's software shits on Sony's from a great height.

Not really though.

 

[Pennywise]

I can't wait for another cinematic first person shooter. Cinematic third person shooter. Cinematic action brawler. Cinematic racer. Oh gosh, what next!

A cinematic cinematic like HR !

 

[Manmademan]

Stat-based character progression, bare minimum. Zelda is item-based, so was ACII.

the "is zelda an RPG" argument goes back to the 16 bit era, and I don't think its ever been settled one way or the other.

 

[Yawnier]

This is just one weird way to express hype for the 20th.

We don't even know if this short comment is even from Sony's official marketing agency.

There is a chance that it is definitely, but we don't know for sure.

 

[flamingotripod]

I'm sure there's some kinect stuff in there as well- kinectimals? whatever?

Dance Central?

 

[braves01]

Mr. Iwata will respond when he hears of this, mark my words. Nintendo does not suffer insults.

 

[Domcorleone]

Old Sony is back I see. Can't wait until 2/20.

I wonder if this generation of gamers will be ok with the trash talk that was commonplace in the 90/00s. Bring on the console wars!!!

 

[Boss Man]

And on Durango
And on the Wii U
And on the iPad
And on Android

That's what they should be doing - talking shit about mobile games.

Spoiler

They're going to announce mobile games aren't they

 

[Glass Rebel]

Mr. Iwata will respond when he hears of this, mark my words. Nintendo does not suffer insults.

They create them themselves.

Case in point, Wii U.

A strange game.

The only winning move is not to play.

 

[Chance Hale]

I'll be honest I thought the post was hilarious until I realized he didn't mean for it to be.

Honestly thought he was having a laugh up to the last post or two, people get really silly in these times.

 

[Derrick01]

the "is zelda an RPG" argument goes back to the 16 bit era, and I don't think its ever been settled one way or the other.

The only time Zelda could ever have been considered a RPG is now, since AAA western studios have done their best to destroy real RPGs and the genre name means nothing anymore.

 

[SkylineRKR]

Iwata: (cries)

 

[Professor Beef]

Everyone in the Sony building will shudder simultaneously when they hear those infamous words of Iwata.

"As you know..."

 

[AniHawk]

I'm sure there's some kinect stuff in there as well- kinectimals? whatever?

i missed kinect sports 2, apparently. i don't know if kinectimals has had a sequel.

 

[ASIS]

I'm mostly talking about the chaos that is this thread. That ad could have been from a fan for all we cared, and you know its the truth

 

[KingFire]

He has no time to waste on this. There are more important matters that demand his attention in these difficult times, like his resignation letter for example.

 

[EmCeeGramr]

kinectimals with bears

 

[Tabz]

If you guyz die,Nintendo and Sony won't care

 

[jello44]

the "is zelda an RPG" argument goes back to the 16 bit era, and I don't think its ever been settled one way or the other.

It's not an RPG because your attacks all do the same amount of damage.

RPGs are generally based on some random number generator to determine damage.

 

[Bgamer90]

Even Gaf bans in this thread are going to be doing better numbers than WiiU NPD figures soon.

 

[Diablo Rosso]

I think there's a Kinectimals game on iOS. I'm not joking.

calling heavy rain an interactive movie isn't really fair. that's more like what telltale's the walking dead is like.

 

[Hot Coldman]

the "is zelda an RPG" argument goes back to the 16 bit era, and I don't think its ever been settled one way or the other.

Yeah, that's just my view on the matter. It's a dumb argument. Fuck genres, really.

 

[Dragon]

Uh no the second Zelda is clearly an RPG.

Otherwise derrick being derrick.

 

[darkistheway]

GAF likes the console wars?

 

[EatChildren]

Did you know that over the course of a measly eight years, two home consoles, and one portable, Ascension will mark the seventh similar playing God of War title, excluding re-releases?

 

[Magnus]

Edit - NM

 

[-MB-]

NSMB games have stuck to one per platform even during the DS and Wii heyday when they probably could have snuck one or two more in there. If NSMB2 and U's numbers are any indication, Nintendo almost certainly won't return to that well so quickly.

Maybe then they will finally try to make the next NSMB look completely different visually.

 

[Wolves Evolve]

Honestly I love fan meltdowns almost as much as the news and hype. Sony are happy to tap into it, but we will be assured its some web marketing division of a company who was just having a bit of fun. In truth, Sony made fun of Nintendo from the beginning.

It adds a bit of wrestling kayfabe to games news. Nothing wrong with that.

 

[DaBoss]

Even Gaf bans in this thread are going to be doing better numbers than WiiU NPD figures soon.

Does this mean GAF bans will be twice that of the Vita's NPD numbers?
