Nintendo says a high-definition upgrade for the Wii remains a distant future endeavor, dismissing criticism that the system needs a visual boost to be creatively competitive.
Speaking to Kotaku, Nintendo America president Reggie Fils-Aime explained that Nintendo won't move to a 'new generation' unless the current system starts bumping into serious technical road blocks. "What that says is that simply the addition of HD capability will not be the next step for us," he said. "There will be more to it. There will be additional capability. There will be additional elements, and, given that, it is far into the future."
"They want you to believe the devs under them are super stoked to work generative AI into their processes," continued Gaider, "but I assure you what they took as excitement was really a veiled wail of despair not unlike the time that team was informed of their new 'really cool' live service mandate.".
I think anyone with some common sense knew this, im glad i don't support their games anymore, what a sh!t company.
Has the rapid growth of Xbox made the ship too heavy? Following the closures of Tango Gameworks, Arkane Austin, and Roundhouse, we explore what the future of Xbox could look like.
This ship was never meant to sail, this ship was made from the get go to sink as fast as possible. It almost feels that they want to lower the standards of quality in the industry so that they can fit in
While on stage with Dina Bass at The Bloomberg Technology Summit the President of Xbox, Sarah Bond, was asked about the Xbox studio closures of Arkane Austin, Tango Gameworks, Alpha Dog, and Roundhouse Studios
Of course she did. She's part of the problem and will just tow the company line.
I always wondered why xbox had multiple leaders with similar titles like Phil Spencer, Matt Booty, and Sarah Bond, like, how many heads do you actually need?
Seems to me it would be more cost efficient to cut 2 of them instead of all those studios.
the Wii's graphics processor can display up to 720p/1080i. It just needs to be unlocked. And they will do this when Wii sails start to fall. The original xbox did it with soul caliber 2 and DOA Ultimate. And the ps2 did it with Gran Tourismo 4. They just need a reason. And if people are still buying this thing buy the truck load with it's 480i/p resolution. Then nintendo sees it as no reason to upgrade.It will remain their trump card.
You'd think the Wii wasn't the market leader reading crap like this.
i dont think u can get 720p with YRW rca cables. but the wii and dolphin emulation proved games can be unscaled and look great. but nintendo is playing it smart. right now is not the time for a system 2011 is.
*edit* at above
that was a great comment. lots of it is true. this gen is busy with the same old same old. thats why i like the wii makes devs go out and build from scratch just like the old days. i was impressed when i started computer gaming i had a dual core and a 8800gtx and i was amazed it was a console looking game with a keyboard. since then i upgraded to a 260 and a quad core and ive seen the pc light but i still give consoles love.
