Super Smash Bros (N64):quinnd6 wrote:All the games Ive seen on it look no better than the n64.
Super Smash Bros Melee (GC):
Super Smash Bros Brawl (Wii):
Yeah, damn Nintendo never updating the graphics :rolleyes:
This is the same Sony which stipulates that games need online functionality of any sort.quinnd6 wrote:If they make motion sensing compolsory with the ps3 where you have to tilt controller from side to side when youre playing a game itll just ruin it and probably give people wrist injury.
Anyway, I wouldn't worry; I'm sure you'll find some other way to injure your wrist. A lot.0 -

Ive been playing games since I was 3 and probably before you were even born.
that's neither here nor there. maybe you did play games before i was born, but i progressed from the spectrum ZX all the way up to the 360 today. i also keep tabs on the games industry.quinnd6 wrote:Just because I dont like the wii doesn't mean Im clueless.
I was making an exagerration when I said wii graphics were like n64 but it just isnt very powerful graphically and Nintendo have said it themselves.
Nintendo said themselves at e3
"if you're looking for next gen you've come to the wrong place"
you're not clueless for not liking the Wii... you're clueless by saying it looks like an N64, has a "silly" motion sensing controller and that the Wii generally is "rubbish". i'm going to go mad here and say you haven't touched one yet, and have come to this assumption without giving it any chance at all. which is less chance then i gave this tv show.quinnd6 wrote:Its only just a little more powerful than xbox.
They should have made it more powerful like the ps3 or 360 and then it would be a lot better cos well when you're paying a good few bob for a new games console you want to see a significant improvement in graphics from your previous machine or there isnt really any point.
the xbox now is still more powerful then most PC's out there (from my experience anyway). you say they should make it ps3 or 360-esque graphics power wise like it's nothing. not sure what ATi put into R&D, but i know sony have spent up to a billion dollars in R&D for Cell and RSX alone. to show for it we have a €600 machine. that is not what nintendo wanted.quinnd6 wrote:but what can ya do?

Bordering on abusive, in my opinion.
At least give it a few weeks before getting all high and mighty about it.
Or else don't watch it.
i take your point, but the producer came here to ask what people would like in a show, and there's about 5 pages of discussion which, if combined would create the perfect show. what we got was the exact thing people were talking about not having.
it's a magazine show aimed at the masses, not the people who know what the guts of a PC looks like. the kind of show gamezville and it's many failed predecessors went for. if it was a show about farming, they would aim it at farmers, not the masses who might have been on a farm once or twice. the same way a gaming show should be aimed at the "hardcore", not the people who buy the yearly update games like FIFA and Need for Speed exclusively. aim it at the guys they spoke to at the LAN parties. be intelligent. have discussion (a-la the last few posts here about Wii). break the cycle and you'll survive. otherwise people will do as you suggested, stop watching.. and then all that there'll be there to show for it is another failed show, except this time there was 5 pages from the market they wanted about how to make the show work before they turned a camera on.0 -
1.Dont go for the "kids" for a few reasons
1.1 - Most people don’t "grow out of games" sure allot of people lost interest for a while when they first start boozing and hanging out with friends/pubs ect.
1.2 - When I was a kid/teenager i was quite mature as where/are many kids/teenagers (i know there’s is allot of those stupid immature CS players and the like) don’t let them near the show - adults and mature teenagers HATE them and will not watch your show
1.3 - Allot of kids now a days have little or no interest in older games, It would be great to see for example to bring up new mods for older games for the older people who still love there old games
2. Actors
2.1 - This is a tricky one because the 1st idea is always go for "the hot lookin young 1" This does help get u a few extra viewers but it tackys up the show and its not worth it. Get someone who knows what there talking about.
2.2 - Male Or Female Host Or both? This depends if you want a host or not as said above the show would be allot cheaper if u didn’t have a set/studio and just grfx and a narrator - at the same time i would like the show to have the odd visitor, maybe Joe Kucan to talk about CnC 3 and examples like that.
2.3 Given the choices i would have to recommend having presenter(s) I have little input on male/female or both just make sure they are gamers themselves.
3. What To Have On The Show
3.1 - As I said above have the odd guest on the show like an ACE gamer from a popular games but never give them too much screen time just enough to give them there piece to say and some tips
3.2 - Game designers I would be interested in seeing this but I don’t think that many would be so its probably not recommended
3.3 - Game competitions, Well this is a hard one. I think you should have competitions with prises ect. The thing is it will be very easy to organise and the net cafes will love it. you see you pick a game and mention the game on the show and then list the locations of the net cafes where the game is being played (all night lans just make every person who goes pay 10 euro for 12 hours gaming competitions) the best 2 get to play a match for a prise with the highlights being on the shoe.
Games should be everything from team games to 1 v 1
Strategy must be inc - it would be boring to watch say most people but id like to see 5 mins of highlights from the 2 best CnC players.
3.4 - Set up a website with a fair few adds (extra money) and on the website put up the full versions of the matches - whatever the game and from the hits you will get a better idea of what games are popular.
3.5 - Computers/Consoles - when there is a new console out have it on the show test it out, show it to people, also do pc reviews get 2 pcs and most expensive one from alien ware the most expensive one from Dell (they will both donate free to the show or elce offer you a massive discount since your advertising and then a home built one (home built had a limited budget - the cheapest of either the dell or alien ware) Compare then run test see which one runs better.
3.6 - New Games, clearly have to have rolling demos of new games [**show BOTH! The Game intro and in game footage**]
3.7 - Cheats - you don’t need them who at this stage does not know where to get them or know a friend with the net?
3.8 - Audience? Its a way to get more money but if u do make sure you limit seats into groups or days because i would go but not if i had to listen or sit beside kids screaming/shouting.
3.9 - MAP competitions! This is something that game shows don’t have and the ones on web sites aren’t that interesting. Have competitions on who can make the best map. I bet i can win the CnC competition (probably not the Generals one tho) other games as well like Theme Park - Why not its a classic.
I hate the games but why not see who has the best family in The sims
CS aswell.
3.10 - Have lists of the best servers for games.
4. Misc
I Have to stop here because brand new job break over don’t want to make bad impression will post Misc when I get home0 -

as much as gamezville was a miserable failure, it succeeded in having different presenters with different personalities, like the fat guy who liked the PC c&c type games, etc.0 -

Actually you would get a lot of attention from older gamers with this feature. Everybody where I work told me they had no interest in games. One day I was waiting for them to finish up so we could go to the pub. I stuck on R-type on my laptop and after 2 minutes had a crowd of people around me asking if I had SF2, nemesis etc. There's a lot more people interested in it than you think especially people who used to be gamers.User45701 wrote:3.3 - Game competitions, Well this is a hard one.

Yawn. Would find this excructiatingly boring. It would be like Gamesmaster challenges except without Dominik Diamond in the background throwing out amusing comments to actually make it a little interesting.
Some good points but just thought I'd give my two cents on some of them.

We're talking early 90s on network 2 where they just focused on kids playing games and kids reviewing games.
Now that was a bad show.
That was pure cack. I remember they gave biometal on the SNES a great review. Awful game. They even praised the soundtrack which was by 2unlimited no less.

Look at me caring. Thats no excuse for being rubbish.REAPER† wrote:There's a large variety of people to keep pleased and it seems to me their trying to do that. Not much is happing at the moment other than xbox stuff, just bits of news bout the Wii and PS3…, which seems to be addressed. Besides I don’t see many good suggestions, just complaints.
I recon yas should try and give it some backing co's if it gets canned, then you'll have nuffin to moan about… :eek:
We are at the eve of the release of the successor of the most successful console of all time and possibly the most interesting console ever released and they can only cover some dull xbox 360 stuff?
They may be trying to please a large group of people but looking at the posts they haven't please anyone.
We have given them enough suggestions already and they didn't follow them and guess what, they churned out a dud. They deserve the criticism, so far they have showed that they don't listen to suggestions.REAPER† wrote:Particularly love the fair and balanced opinions of those that haven't even seen it… hahaha! Please… STFU!:D
Maybe not I haven't seen it either but from peoples discriptions I know that they have gone about it completely the wrong way just like so many others.

Just because your post-count is in the thousands, it does *not* mean your opinion is better than anyone else's -- it's not like every single one of your posts is in Games->Games.
Oh and, of course, plenty of "regulars" don't like the damn show, either. (look at Retr0gamer*, his post-count is about 1600 higher than yours

My post was in reply to ‘REAPER†’ btw. It looks like you think I’m having a dig at Retr0gamer and Stoichkov.
And indeed its not just “plenty” of regulars, most of them have said the show has an Xbox slant.
“So?”… Well, my post was stating that when the vast majority of not all of the regular posters here state X about Y there’s a good chance its true, and, because they have been around here for a while, a certain amount of trust has amounted.
On the completely separate topic of why my “opinion is better is better than anyone else's”, it’s because I know it is, and I have edited this text so it’s in bold, italics, and I’ve underlined it.
Because everyone knows these make your posts like *facts* that nobody can argue with.0 -
