Andy Robertson writes in his Family Gamer column: "It's clear that this is much more than just a 3D DS. This is something that is perhaps reflected in the price (of around GBP 229 or USD 250 - plus sales tax. It's a price that Nintendo can justify with the technology on offer here. It also feels like another industry savvy move on their part as they look to position the device to initially attract more hardcore gamers as well as distinguish themselves from the likes of the iPhone and Android games marketplace."
Indie games are single-handedly carrying the gaming industry right now and it's about time they get their deserved recognition.
"AI is not a substitute for human creativity. We position it as a technology that supports creativity. Creativity resides in people. We will continue to contribute to people's creativity through technology," the CEO said.
...not yet but 100% within the next 10 years!
..Then Sony will use it like the drop of a hat. They're no different to the others.
People that aren't software developers just don't understand the benefits of AI. People who's only exposure to A.I is the Terminator movie and other related sci fi films won't understand the benefits it provides.
It's not about replacing human labor. It's about making human labor easier.
Many years ago, I had laser eye surgery done. It was performed by a robot. The doctor took my measurements and calibrated the machine to make sure it would do what needed be done. And then the robot corrected my vision in 10 seconds.
15 years later and I still have 20/20 vision.
"Three days filled with specialist lectures delivered by almost 200 speakers, three thematic summits, and over 2600 guests from almost every corner of the world - the capital of Małopolska became the capital of the games industry for a few days.
Organized by the Krakow Technology Park, the Digital Dragons Conference once again showed that Poland is attracting more and more attention from the world's biggest industry tycoons for a reason." - Digital Dragons.
Interesting to read a first hand in-depth account of the console - as in how it felt rather than all the more technical details. From reading this I can't wait to get my hands on the device and try it myself.
Nice article. I can't wait to experience the glasses-less 3d for myself.
Ive never been particularly fond of DS's, but the 3DS has sparked an interest, if it weren't for the hefty price tag it would be on my list. The high price tag and relatively small number of games has meant that I will be waiting for the next version of the 3DS so I can get my moneys worth! All of the features are really impressive and I am looking forward to trying out the 3DS so I can get to grips with 3D without glasses.
Nice article - great to read a Nintendo 3DS review that reveals a little of how the system will play for a real gamer rather than the usual pre-launch fluff.
I'm looking forward to it - I think the launch day games are a little thin on the ground, but the titles appearing the in the first couple of months are a good spread.
I've played the 3DS. It's awesome. :D
