flameboy Posted January 3, 2010 Posted January 3, 2010 He's especially unpopular because he isn't part of The Order of Nintendo Knights. Wrong man, wrong forum. I don't think that's true. I think there are a lot of people on the Other boards that don't play Nintendo any more. Yeah don't agree tissue town. I'm not in the nintendo crowd anymore despite visiting this site since the n64 days. However in the aside from the odd game no longer offers what I want from a modern console. Notice I didn't use next gen blah blah. For me a modern console needs all this extra stuff that both Sony and Microsoft offer in addition to the gaming experience which for me put them up and above the Wii. Just a unified friends list for example is such a small thing that will never happen on the Wii. The list really does go on. Where Choze's problem lay was his blinkered view of all things Sony a lot of what he said was right to a degree just it not to the extremes that he made it out to seem. Most people would except the Wii certainly has its merits as a console even if its not for them whereas he simply wouldn't. Also Sony are by no means perfect and for every amazing decision they make to move the console forward they seem to come up with an equally dumb one. I just want to point out I had very little idea what I was talking about. Through this entire thread. Yeah me to...I have a HDTV that runs 1080something and my games look gorgeous on it, so thats all I need to know really..
dazzybee Posted January 3, 2010 Posted January 3, 2010 These films were not shot at 720. They were filmed on 16mm film or cheaper film cameras. Again, resolution isn't set. Okay, let's stop this but have to say that 28 days later was shot on a Canon XL1 with max resolution of 720x576, a digital camera, not film. Blair witch was shot on an even worse digital camera than that. Many films are shot digitally at this standard (less so now because you can get amazing cameras for cheap).
Caris Posted January 3, 2010 Author Posted January 3, 2010 Just for the record they could always upscale the 720x576 to 1920x1080 if they wanted.
Sheikah Posted January 4, 2010 Posted January 4, 2010 How do people know all this stuff about film resolution...seriously. It's unholy. You should all set up a brand of some sort.
Ten10 Posted January 4, 2010 Posted January 4, 2010 Only thing on the horizon that will bring me back to the Wii will probably tales of graces. But that's an RPG, and like hell my family will let me sit there and play an RPG on the main Tv. And I'll be damned if I try taking the Wii to my room. Catch 22. So I just decided to get an xbox 360 and screw the whole thing. To me Nintendo is like the friend you've had your whole life. Went to school together, best friends in nursery and primary school. But then in secondary school he decides he doesn't like you anymore and goes off with his blue ocean friends. You try to be nice and check in on him from time to time. But as time goes by you just fall more and more apart. Last Wii game I bought was Conduit. Nuff said.
Daft Posted January 4, 2010 Posted January 4, 2010 To me Nintendo is like the friend you've had your whole life. Went to school together, best friends in nursery and primary school.

Ten10 Posted January 4, 2010 Posted January 4, 2010 And he's a bit funny in the head. That's from all the pot he's been taking. But Sony and Microsoft think its cool and so have decided to start taking some too. Hopefully they won't get addicted. All though I have been wondering for a while if N-E will ever go multiformat. Wouldn't be the first nintendo site to do so.
Daft Posted January 4, 2010 Posted January 4, 2010 I doubt it, there's no need really. Having said that, it wouldn't be a terrible idea to have to sister sites for Sony and Microsoft. M-Europe and S-Europe anyone?
Emasher Posted January 4, 2010 Posted January 4, 2010 I can't see the site ever going seriously multiplatform, I also thought the site already had multiplatform sister sites. What I can see is the forum having more "space made" for what is now contained in the other consoles board here. Perhaps separate boards for Sony and MS stuff, and also a General Gaming sort of board.
Daft Posted January 4, 2010 Posted January 4, 2010 I don't think there's any need to separate Sony and Microsoft. It would just make multiplatform threads crapper.
Emasher Posted January 4, 2010 Posted January 4, 2010 Which is really the only reason I also suggested a general gaming type board. The only real problem with the way it is now is just that the board is getting so popular, that threads get lost too quickly.
Daft Posted January 4, 2010 Posted January 4, 2010 I wouldn't say that was a problem tbh. The bottom thread on the first page had its last post almost two weeks ago. Edit: We still need to unsticky the stupid 360 Error Code thread. Seriously, why is it there?
dwarf Posted January 4, 2010 Posted January 4, 2010 If there was an S-Europe, I think Me, Daft and Caris should run the news section and keep the boards in-line. Mod powers!

Edit: And it isn't the first time this happened in N-E, at the time I joined this I saw the change of older members to another board made by themselves because they outgrew Nintendo. The population now is largely different from back then. Edited January 4, 2010 by Shino
Ten10 Posted January 4, 2010 Posted January 4, 2010 Tbh it seems like the people in here are the ones that outgrew and forgot that friend. No my friend. It is because nintendo has forgotten what it means to "leave luck to heaven." When was the last time they invoked such spirit and cheer in the hearts of men (and women) like this.... Wish the youtube tags accepted time variables but just pretend the video started at 24 seconds. Then pretend it finishes at 1.32
Daft Posted January 4, 2010 Posted January 4, 2010 Yeah, Nintendo went after my mum. Friends don't do that. Rapists do.
dwarf Posted January 4, 2010 Posted January 4, 2010 Friends aren't shit either. (going for the obvious joke overkill)
mcj metroid Posted January 4, 2010 Posted January 4, 2010 (edited) nintendo are defo having another downfall at the moment. By the way the sales are great an all but now the ps3 is rising and is at a similiarish price and 360 is cheaper it's becoming more and more evident that its ten year old technology. The defence is.. the sales are great what are you talking about? but what IS the wii's selling point to most people? The motion control and the nintendo classic franchises. motion control is coming to the other consoles and what has nintendo to combat this? vitality sensor and a poorly underused motionplus thus far. And nintendo are too slow to release their killer games. I will still buy the good games that come out for it... but the console is the best selling and things are worse than they ever were for gamecube.. At least with gamecube you KNEW nintendo were going to deliver the goods when it came not shit on you like wii music.. Ps3 and 360 arent perfect to me. I long for more colourful games but it's the best I'm going to get. If I had to predict I see the ps3 is a very strong position this time next year and the successor to nintendos console being announced with once again fuck all support. /rant Edited January 4, 2010 by mcj metroid
Shino Posted January 4, 2010 Posted January 4, 2010 No my friend. It is because nintendo has forgotten what it means to "leave luck to heaven." When they launched the Wii. When was the last time they invoked such spirit and cheer in the hearts of men (and women) like this.... Wish the youtube tags accepted time variables but just pretend the video started at 24 seconds. Then pretend it finishes at 1.32 That happened once, back before the community and journalists became cynics. It wont happen ever again. Never. Still, of all the companies, I'll trust Nintendo to throw the occasional curve ball. Even if infrequently.
Daft Posted January 4, 2010 Posted January 4, 2010 Ps3 and 360 arent perfect to me. I long for more colourful games but it's the best I'm going to get. flower, Bordelands, ModNation Racers, Ratchet & Clank, any PixelJunk game - They're colourful. Even Mirror's Edge (as awful as it is) and BioShock could be considered colourful. I don't buy the lack of colour argument.

Falcon_BlizZACK Posted January 4, 2010 Posted January 4, 2010 Nintendo take heed; I want Pokemon in 3D within a decade, bitches.
Daft Posted January 4, 2010 Posted January 4, 2010 oh it's there no doubt ill be checking out ratchet and clank and little big planet and some points. Totally forgot about LBP. Nintendo take heed; I want Pokemon in 3D within a decade, bitches. I've been waiting for a decade already.
The Lillster Posted January 4, 2010 Posted January 4, 2010 I don't understand why the Xbox/PS3 crowd is so against the Wii? It's simple: Wii = Casual and family friendly PS3 = Entertainment centre + Blu-Ray Player Xbox = Primarily used as a Gaming system Why can't some people understand that, it's not rocket science. Why does the Wii need to copy the competition?
Pit-Jr Posted January 4, 2010 Posted January 4, 2010 Still, of all the companies, I'll trust Nintendo to throw the occasional curve ball. Even if infrequently. Im still interested in what they have in store for a successor, despite being done with the Wii itself. Theyve made a fortune on the Wii and DS in the last 5 years. Theres absolutely no reason why they cant afford to innovate AND be technically competitive in the future I don't understand why the Xbox/PS3 crowd is so against the Wii? It's simple: Wii = Casual and family friendly PS3 = Entertainment centre + Blu-Ray Player Xbox = Primarily used as a Gaming system Why can't some people understand that, it's not rocket science. Why does the Wii need to copy the competition? It doesnt need to copy the competition, but i think everyone agrees it needs hardware that does Nintendo's best franchises justice, and encourages 3rd party quality support. The user base it there, the hardware is not however.
