But really, this reads like a joke. EA, AE... North Carolina is more or less opposite Redwood City... I'm skeptical that this company even exists.


i found this.   not sure if it supports or hurts the theory that this is a joke...

Nintendo has to learn a lesson from this. They made Wii U without consulting the 3rd parties and now they have to pay it. Wii U is a console with an old architecture (PowerPC like Wii, PS3 and X360) versus X86-64 that Xbox One and PS4 have wich makes developing games much more easier for 3rd parties


X86-64 is old too, did you think they just made that architecture last year or something?

Nintendo shouldn't have to consult third parties,they make games, not hardware. 

I'm sure most dev's wanted more power, but the system is capable enough. Bottom line, if Wii U was selling more, third parties would jump on board, it has nothing to do with the systems power or if they consulted third parties. It's all about profit, and on Nintendo systems third parties have shafted us over and over with excluding features and then expecting people to buy it for the same price or higher as the article pointed out.

I don't know, either, but the site associated with this press release is actually much worse than that one.

This is not true.

They made the mistake of listening to ONE 3rd party, that being EA and their promise of unprecedented support. 

Next time they need to listen to everyone except EA.



 

 

That's a great way to get into the business... trashtalking other developers and burning bridges to publishers which could be important business partners in the future. Committing oneself to one platform.

While not presenting any references / proof of talent / the involved artists and their former works / ideas. Every Kickstarter project is more professional and humble and has a section "The Team" or "Who we are".

But these guys aren't asking for your money just yet...and to be honest, if they plan to stay indie and actually have something good to show, this is a pretty good strategy...it all depends on what they are going to show on Friday

The suspense is killing me ;) The web site looks very... spartanic. And aren't there guidelines to follow for using Twitter and Facebook logos?
