Can't wait for tomorrow! Getting 3DS, but the launch titles are awful. I'm gonna get Rayman 3D just so I have atleast one game to set a standard for what the 3D will be like, otherwise, I'm gonna play Pokemon Black on it.

From what I've seen, Rayman 3D got absolutely terrible reviews. Just a warning
-
Not long now, SSF4 3D is going to be awesome.
A friend of mine got his today. Bastard.
-
This is worse than IGN giving the 3DS a 7.5. A guy who compares the 3DS to the fucking Iphone. My rage meter went up.

This the video that was completely stupid and made comments that showed the writer had clearly never heard of the DS?

The only reason 3D should be used is for immersion purposes. I play in 3D on my computer and from my experience it really doesn't make you any "better" at playing games. It is there to look good and change how you immerse yourself in the game. 3D makes a game like Oblivion literally come alive in your screen and the effect can be amazing. But it doesn't help me kill trolls any more easily.
It will affect the gameplay of any game in which depth is a factor. In a lot of games depth doesn't matter much, so 3D isn't for much more than the visual effect. Some games that rely heavily on depth, however, like flight simulators and racing games, should be easier in 3D than in 2D by nature since depth will be easier to judge in 3D. Sure it won't change the gameplay of Oblivion much at all, but nobody claimed that it would.
People who complain about how it doesn't add game play don't get the purpose of 3D which primarily serves as a graphical upgrade.
They might as well complain about color in games, all it does is look nice and not add much game play value. OH no. Lets all game in black and white from now on.Anyway that is my little 3D rant. Now I go to finish Crysis 2. In 3D.
Oh yes, color has never made any impact on gameplay. :wassat:

Damn, so the battery can actually already become empty, in just 2 hours!
That's worse than my laptop.I'll be getting my 3DS this afternoon.
So i'm going to put that to test, this evening. -

So i'm going to put that to test, this evening.Well according to what I've heard you have to charge it for 3 hours once it's out of the box. People complaining are probably the ones who play it as soon as they open the box. Have it less than 2 hours because it's not even half charged and then rush to the internet to complain.

I can charge and play and be on the internet. Fuck yes. Also I don't know one person who doesn't charge and play when you start to see red or is guessing your battery is getting a bit low and you want to keep playing. Lol complainers.
-
I play most of the time with the charger in anyways XD I just hope the lead extends enough so I can lay in bed XD
Anywho. For all those UK people who pre-ordered from GAME. Apparently some people are being turned away (despite pre-ordering) because Game didn't get enough 3DS.
Fail considering they told us that they were the ones getting the most.
I'm gonna get up and go out and get mine in about 2 hours. Still not decided on Street Fighter or Samurai Chronicles (not a fighting game kinda guy. And SC apparently is one of the 3 games a lot of stores aren't selling)
-
Oh yes, color has never made any impact on gameplay. :wassat:
Yes you are correct. Low vs high resolution would have been a better example of what I was trying to say.
Still cant decide on a launch game. Fighters aren't really my thing so maybe I will just play pokemon black on it for a while..

Hey guys remember how the Japanese 3DS had that first firmware update, and how it had that video of Nintendo world performing classic Nintendo songs?
Video of that.
! Qt6fCMlevNU
Well regions that are now getting the 3DS are also getting this firmware update but instead of that video, they have let you view a video that will probably look good in 3D and is performed pretty good also.
Video of that.
! nHlJODYBLKs
It's a really awesome video actually and probably will use the 3D feature more than the Nintendo World clip, but both are pretty damn awesome in my own honest opinion.
-
Dang, I really lost track of when the 3DS was going to be released. Can't believe it comes out in only two days. I think I know what I'll be spending the remainder of my tax refund on.
-
I'm getting this first thing tomorrow, don't have any money right now.
Anyway, i really don't care about there not being any real good launch title. I have never owned a DS before, so i have a plethora of great games to buy.
-
I'm not sure I'll believe the immersion bit in that article until I see it. Racing games, flying games, etc are the games that gain immersion in 3D because it actually affects gameplay rather than just being pretty. Those are the same types of games, however, that will get a lot better with some 3D programming experience. I'm going with GR since it won't simply be replaced in a year or less, and I'll settle on letting the AR games show me what the system technology is capable of. That should last me until Ocarina I'd hope.
One of the other few places I trust to write an unbiased review has said much the same about the immersion as gamestm:
But as you say, we'll see soon enough.
-
Right then chaps.
Friend code swapping?
mines 0344-9267-0120add me up for some Street Fighter!
-
Got it. Along with Street Fighter. Really wanted Samurai Warriors but most shops aren't stocking and I refuse to pay £40 for it in Game.
-
I hope they make a Super Smash Bros. game for the 3DS.

that would be awesome. be sweet to be out randomly in the world and happen to come upon someone else with smash and then just go for a quick challenge against them.
don't care if smash online is laggy or not, online is shit. smash like many nintnedo games is best enjoyed in person.

Fucking U.S release date.
Hey man, some of our releases are fucking months behind yours!
We only just got Kirby's Epic Yarn!

oh yeahhh. I pretty laugh so hard that NoE decides to delay games. Australia is wayyy worst though. They got SMG2 July 1st 2010.

I reall need to see the 3DS in actionbefore making any judgements. I have a lazy eye, so the 3-D might not work for me at all, it doesn't with anything else. But since its all in-screen illusion, it might.
People who complain about how it doesn't add game play don't get the purpose of 3D which primarily serves as a graphical upgrade.

2-D representation already gives depth of field. Lawrence of Arabia has plenty of sense of space, because there's atmosphere and perspective and scale going on. So adding 3-D doesn't actually add a whole new element to it, it just tweaks one that was already there by faking it a little better.
Color on the other hand, does change the experience significantly from black and white. (And if used artfully, B&W can be stronger… but it has to be a conscious choice guided by a deft hand.)
Low res vs. high res really depends on what degree your talking about. Just how low res it is and just how hi res the other is. I get pretty much the same from a standard tv as a high-def one. I can see that theres a difference, yes, but its not that major.
On the other hand, a low res jpeg of an image for the internet ported over to photoshop thats only 72 dpi, will look like garbage if you try to print it.

I think it's something more to do with having to MULTI-5 it for Europe. You only usually get one or two language on your games dont you?
We get 5 - 8 some times.
Australia is usually delayed because of their retarded laws.

Sometimes 2 or 3. English, Spanish and Francis.

Maybe I'm just being blind. But where do I find my friend code?
Been playing some Street Fighter. Took ages to get a nice amount of 3D but finally managed it. It's quite fun thus far. Although I REALLY wish they'd give a lil tutorial for those who play very little Fighting games. I just end up button mash. XD

Home screen on the friends menu at the top.
Add me up!

Awesome all done dude!
A bit busy tonight but up for some SSF tommorow?
-
Sure. I'm no good. Just button mashing atm so XD
But I made it so you can view when I'm online etc so I assume there'll be some way to sort it out.
Also. Just noticed this. Apparently chat is coming soon:
-
Heh. Just got home to find my copy of Ghost Recon waiting for me, but not my 3DS. Thanks amazon.

Make sure you contact them. If amazon said it would arrive today and it didn't then they'll refund your postage back. It's happened to me a few times where stuff aint arrived on release and they refunded postage no problem (especially if you say you only paid so it would be on release day)
-
I played it too.
At the highest 3D setting I was seeing doubles of my Mii, though I think thats just a thing with my eyes.
It looked all right at mid level.
I did like the feel of the analog circle too.
Tried another demo at GameStop eariler, this time it was Super Street Fighter IV 3D.
The 3D effect was actually a lot better this time around, at full setting.
As for the game itself, aside from the obvious control differences, its quite literally Super Street Fighter IV on a handheld device. Looks like it, feels like it, plays like it, the whole nine yards. Which in a way, is kind of a testament to the 3DS power.

Put my Cyclo in earlier. It didn't run but it didn't brick
-
Read it, it says it'll happen with system updates
-
I deleted in the data from it so it should all be good.
I'll expect it'll be softmodded before long
-
Cmon these warnings have existed for every nintendo product ever. They are just being more blatant about advertising it nowadays.
Bricking a console with future updates? What about the secondhand market? Is some kid who bought a console off craigslist going to have it bricked because the previous owner ran a flashcart? No. It will not happen. Nintendo is just scaring people, nothing more.
I do hope the 3DS gets soft-modded but not for pirating 3DS games. I think the system has great homebrew potential. Not to mention the ability to run games region free would be a nice addition.
Wish I had mine. Is everybody getting theirs early from Amazon or what? I am jealous.

Let's be realistic here.
I'd be well into emulators and all kinds wth the 3DS. Homebrew wise it's going to have some interesting stuff made for it.
…but seriously if it's softmodded then that will be the single reason why. Piracy.
-
Supposedly retailers won't buy back 3ds that get bricked, so if you wanted to buy a used one you get it from there. Really, you argue its just a threat, but there are key differences from their old methods and warnings that shouldn't be ignored. But hey, if you want to take the chance, go ahead. It'll be your own fault if you just ignored the warnings
-
Still bluffing. The Wii gives me those warnings all the time :D
-
I've pretty much had it with Street Fighter now. Aside from the no-tutorial and lack of buttons in command prompt (seriously. Was it THAT hard to put the button symbol instead of kick when my boxer doesn't kick?) the downright cheapness of T.Hawk on the easiest game setting makes the game just too annoying to play.
-
Can i still do the whole Friend Code thing with my friends; I have 3DS, they have Dsis mostly.

No different from the console one.
The tutorial is the challenge mode. Best way to learn it. Also I reckon control type B is the best one if you turn the top left one to throw.
T. Hawk has always been cheap. I managed to beat it on medium but it's certainly harder on the 3DS. The D-Pad is the way to go.
-

I was talking about my own personal reasons for wanting a modded 3DS. You are quite right. Piracy will probably be the driving force that hacks the 3DS.
Truth be told I don't have any problem with running emulators. I think that when an older system reaches a certain age it becomes fair game for the masses. :ninja:I am seriously thinking about picking up Dinosaurs 3D just for the lulz. What can I say? As a hopeful future paleontologist it seems only right.
-
Wasn't Dinosaur supposed to be a launch title? Never saw it in the shops. Same with that Detective game.

never seen that one before

by that time some great 3DS games will be out, will get some new clarification on release date of skyward sword, get to see many new 3DS games announced and shown. should be a good time.
