surely the rumble will return in a future revision of the PS3 controller (rumble-boomerang?), after all the parties reach a legal settllement on the patent disputes.

haha rumble-rang it is then.

its shape is like part of a steering wheel, no? motion feedback+motion sensing should be good.

rumble-rang+eyetoy2+gt5 combo on 2007 FTW!

haha, the trully revolution-ary part of Wii is the fact that Nintendo's gonna make handsome profits on every piece of console, accesories, software sold to the consumers

Nintendo Revolution FTW!

maybe they'll test the market with a limited launch, who knows?
games piracy is a problem in India too, but MS India didn't just give up b4 even trying.

maybe we can start a poll/petition right here, and gauge the support for a possible official Msia launch?

well, another discussion on another forum pose an interesting scenario. why not charge USD25 for a game disk which contains 60%~80% of the game unlocked. consumers are then given the option to "buy" the rest of the game via online unlocking, microtransaction or paid DLC.

or charge USD50 for a game disk w/ locked content. first-play gamers (ppl who buy new games) will get free unlock via online registration tied to account & machine. consumers who opt for games-renting & 2nd-hand market are then given the option to "buy" the unlocking.

some simple changes to the current business model can mutually benefit game publishers and a growing gaming consumer market.


disclaimer: USD50/20 are merely arbitary numbers. the above are not my ideas. i simply rephrase some of the ideas tossed in another discussion.

a legitimate gaming market in china is gonna dwarf even the 'japanese+korea+rest of asia' gaming market. something for game companies to think abt, eh?

haha, i'm speculating a USD100 Wii China launch with USD10 chinese language region-locked games in 2007. nintendo make it happen!

the rest of us can always start learning chinese

hehe, the onimusha team is actually working on Lost Planet:EC. based on the successful dead rising, producer Keiji Inafune has basically risen to top of the capcom food chain and it basically calling the shots for several capcom development studio. clover is no more, and shinji mikami is a contract worker for RE5. DMC and Monster Hunter franchise will go multi-platform, me thinks

for square enix, its hard to say. while FFXIII may not go multi-platform, it has smaller franchises can that be ported - saga series, mana series, grandia series, fm series, FF spin-offs, DQ spin-offs, tri-ace projects, etc...

as for konami, i'm pretty sure a version of MGS will come to 360. whether its MGS4 port or another spin-off or remake project, remains to be seen

and yes i agree, all jpn publishers will be hedging their bets and spending development staff & money on WiiDS games

Vietnamese brides outsourcing FTW!

LoL, this topic still have legs!?

IINM, mr TS already stated his disdain for next-gen games/consoles. topic should now be amended to "retro games and new-gen console FTWii"
