IGM: Sony's PlayStation Vita has been on the market since February. Nintendo's WiiU is set to follow it at the end of the year. What is Crytek planning for these consoles?

Yerli: We don't have anything planned for either console. For the WiiU there will be games running on CryEngine, but they are from licensees. The PlayStation Vita is uncertain to us as a platform. On a technical level the Vita is appealing to me, without a doubt we could have fun with it. From a business perspective however it's somewhat too late.

Don't count on Crytek

Entire acting section was the worst thing I've ever seen, but the system and persistent online communications thing looks really good. Really think they should have made it less 'mii' branded though... MS or Sony will do the same thing but sleeker and without the cutesy avatars and get praise for it. It looked a bit like NEAR on Vita actually, but better.

If you look past the tragically produced infomercial I think there was lot of progressive things to gleam from all of this.  My home screen is gonna be empty as fuck though.

It's completely different.  Nintendo patented this controller in 1987.  Microsoft stole it from them.

for real though it probably has motion control and such.

if the analog sticks weren't stupid I'd buy one for PC.  d-pad is sure to be better.

Yes.  I'm assuming that the mass majority of non-shitty western (and some eastern) titles will use the 360 knock off controller.  At least Nintendo realized their controller schemes are shit to a lot of people and have offered an alternative.

Why does that controller even exist? This thing is supposed to use all the Wii's peripherals right? Unless that has a gyro in it, why not continue with production on the current CC Pro and give it a wireless feature?

wait, i haven't been following this, but there are two controllers now? the 360-ish one and the one with the screen?

Yes.  I'm assuming that the mass majority of non-shitty western (and some eastern) titles will use the 360 knock off controller.  At least Nintendo realized their controller schemes are shit to a lot of people and have offered an alternative.

It looks like its only optimized for dual stick games though.

Stupid skit aside, I'm not against anything they showed. I'm also surprised they cleared these reveals out of the way before E3, and announced that 3DS will not be a focus this year ("But in future events").  It obviously means they're going to push this thing even more than I expected.

I also don't think the social features' integration is really that offensive. I find the combination of WARA WARA, in-game Mii comments, and (Vita inspired) message board system interesting to say the least, especially from a company that was so anal about connecting people online. I guess that's one way where they budged to 3rd party demands. At the very least, it will make the network feel more populated and active. It's not the worst solution to the social networking problem on consoles. But I guess I'll have to wait to see it all in action.

Speaking of succumbing to 3rd parties, 360 controller is lulz. It's not horrible, I'll be getting it for sure, but still lulz.

I just think the integration of the social stuff is terrible, everything looks so cluttered. I have no issues with the idea of it.

One think I'm trying to figure out is were they merely showing clickable analogs or that pressure/clicking will also modify directional inputs, i.e. move analog without clicking > character movement, click+move analog > different functionality. Because the person didn't just click, but clicked and moved the stick. But maybe I'm giving them too much credit.

Another thing I realized is that by announcing they won't allot (too much time) to talk about the 3DS, the enevitable redesign announcement has been effectively delayed? :fbm

Oh, I'd like to see how the implementation worked. Because while the it sounds like a neat idea in theory, in practice is can be awkward. Unless the click's feedback is different from the ones in current generation controllers.

You might be talking Gunvalkyrie (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gunvalkyrie)

Quote
Players control Kelly or Saburouta with both analog sticks, the left controlling forward/backward movement and turning, while the right aims their weapons, and when clicked, allows quick-turns. Clicking in the left stick while pointing in a direction causes the character to boost. The left trigger is a boost/jump, and when combined with the left analog boost, can be strung together into combos to keep the player off the ground entirely, which is a necessity for some levels. Face buttons are used to select weapons, and the right trigger fires the selected weapon

I thought it was terrible.  The 360 controller knock off is about the only good idea they've had and I suspect that is because western developers told Nintendo straight up that they weren't going to be designing games for a shitty iPad controller.  Otherwise, they just tried attempting to repackage chat, forums, and e-mail and called it an innovation or "unique."

Why do some people think any single aspect of this looks good?  It's all shit.  Nothing about it is worthwhile in the least bit.  This is worse than Wii Music.

Persistent integrated communication the moment you turn the device on is a very good improvement. Text and doodle messaging looks easy and convenient, the whole network appears to actually be something cohesive and useful now - as opposed to the barren wastes of your typical Wii friends list and message board. The way that works into games could be fun as well... the comments from other Mii's when the guy died in a Mario game reminded me of comment functionality on SoundCloud, where you can have comments for specific moments in songs. It won't be everyone's cup of tea, and there'll be people who want to turn it off straight away, but generally the idea behind it and the interface looks sound and far better than what we came to expect from Nintendo on the Wii.

My only disappointment with the stream was that they tried some weird self-aware humour thing that wasn't quite self-aware enough to know it sucked, and it was very rambly. My only disappointment with the system UI so far is that it uses Miis on the Twitter style pages. I think it would look slicker, more professional and inviting had they gone with regular profile pictures or something. They could have at least updated the look of the Miis to give them a next gen sheen... they look exactly as they did on the Wii.

The browser curtain might not be revolutionary, but it is a good idea.  I've enjoyed doing similar things with my laptop and a TV as a second screen.

It doesn't bother me that Miis exist, I just don't want to have to see them in my games.  It would be nice if they were radically redesigned, though, so that it doesn't feel like we are stuck in 2006 forever.

Yeah, sadly the game really isn't that much better looking than NSMB Wii, aside from much better backgrounds and the grass looking nicer. :/

But I really wish they would ditch the NSMB art style entirely. This'll be the 4th game that utilizes it. Hell, I didn't like it when Nintendo reused SMG's art style for its sequel, and that one always looked a billion times better than NSMB.

It didn't take long at all for the big-name analysts and commentators to start bashing Nintendo. Here's what David Gibson, Head of Software & Services for Macquarie Capital Securities Japan said about today's Nintendo Direct.

At E3, already Nintendo announcement on WiiU but non event,pro controller is copy of 360,browser support coming -too late!

Real class act that guy is! My favorite part is how he ignored everyone else Nintendo talked about. Who cares about all the online interaction, community features, unique spin on conversation, Wii U GamePad redesign, Miiverse and everything else?

Browsers are old news and the Wii U Pro Controller is a total ripoff! Yeah, that's sticking it to Nintendo!

this x 100

And guess what, Nintendo will give them no blueprint on how to make something interesting with the controller. Where was Nintendo's innovation with the Wii? Most of the first party games pretty much used the controller to enhance basic controls...by working like a mouse basically. I'd expect the same thing this time. Luckily developers already have 5-6 years experience with the DS, so they'll know exactly how to handle a touch screen: menus, inventory, and cut scenes!

Nintendo 3DS will be the focus of an upcoming E3 presentation on Wednesday, June 6.

The presentation will be hosted by Scott Moffitt, the Nintendo of America Executive Vice President of Sales and Marketing, and will focus exclusively on 3DS software. The presentation itself is taking place at 6-7 p.m. PT/9-10 p.m. ET at the Los Angeles Convention Center, and is going to be live-streamed by Nintendo.

So in addition to yesterday's Nintendo Direct, tomorrow's conference, and two follow up panels, there's now an additional 3DS conference on Wednesday.

I've been shitting on Nintendo but I'll give them props here: they did the boring shit before the conference with that stupid shit last night. I wish Sony and MS would take note and dump the numbers, theory, and other nonsense into a pre-e3 speech and then have the actual conference be all software

This just in:

Tomorrow's Nintendo conference is almost 100% confirmed to be JUST Wii U software talk.  On Wednesday, there's a completely separate 3DS conference.  And on Thursday, there's a software showcase showing all.

Nintendo really wants to hammer on software this year

edit: fuck you :lol

it says the 6th though linkzeldagannon

Need lots of time to explain Japanese concepts with silly sounding names that inspired there recent unique ideas.

"No, Nintendo always think of making games first. They realized that the traditional gamepad has actually been restrictive one what one could do with design and developers became complacent and lazy. They claimed they didn't develop for the Wii because it was underpowered, but underneath that lies a darker truth they didn't want to admit: that most developers aren't as talented as Nintendo in making games."

Third parties don't want to compete vs strong first parties. Microsoft let their 1st party stuff outside of Halo go into the trash can to attract more third parties. There's only so much audience per platform. If the company on the name of the console is putting out high quality stuff, it makes it harder for other companies pushing software on the platform.

Wait, why are we talking about this?

Apparently no analog triggers. Nintendo always has to screw up something. Amazeballs.

All right my beautiful brothers, I'm popping some Melatonin and heading to bed so I can be bright up and early to watch the shit hit the crazy fan at 9am tomorrow. Will be lounging with a big ass pot of coffee and my silk bathrobe as Mr. Iwata drops sanity bombs all over my face. See you tomorrow!

Shamelessly leeched off Gaf from BY2K.  So true, Nintendo does nothing and they win E3.

$299 is reasonable. As much as I troll the WiiU I think I may get one. Hittup the backlog of good Nintendo games on the Wii.

Is it confirmed that the Wii U is backwards compatible? That might make it worth it for me, as I haven't played any Wii games before.
