[Nintendo Switch #11]

quote:

Reddit user dreamsomebody compiled the following information based on what’s surfaced:

• HD Rumble’s technical name is a Linear resonant actuator
• When in handheld mode, the Switch will have an unlock screen like a smartphone to prevent accidental waking.
• The Switch features a Quick Menu. Press and hold the HOME Button for at least one second to display the Quick Settings screen on top of all other screens, including the HOME Menu and any applications. Unlike the 3DS, the active software will not be suspended when this menu is invoked
• The Switch’s keyboard will feature predictive text such as those on iOS and Android
• System Settings will allow the user to edit the following settings:

Flight Mode Toggle
Enable/Disable Bluetooth
Manage Wi-fi
Manage NFC
Manage screen brightness
Screen lock
User Settings
Create/Edit Mii
Theme management
Controller management
System Update

• Miis will have more options for hair, eyebrows, eyes, facial hair, glasses, mouths, and skin.
• Miis will not store the creator’s name, their favorites, and their birthday anymore. Anyone can edit Mii characters
• Developers can create and sell Season Passes for their games
• This document confirms an X1 like SoC using Maxwell on the final retail version
• There are NO plans to provide an Internet Browser at this stage but developers are able to access a web applet to display specific websites within their game/app
• A maximum of 8 users can be registered on a system
• Friend requests and game invites CAN be sent from the console.
“Friend Presence is a feature that uses the Internet to convey information in real time about the online status of friends and the applications they are playing. Among possibilities, we see this being used in the application to check whether friends are in the joinable state, and to use the Friend List system feature screen to show what applications friends are playing.”
• A Nintendo Account can be linked to multiple Switches BUT save data is not automatically synchronised
• There are TWO dev kit devices: SDEV and EDEV

SDEV – Has built-in ports; no built-in battery
EDEV – Resembles the retail product exactly but is black color

• Game cards come in 1 GB, 2 GB, 4 GB, 8 GB, 16 GB, or 32 GB variations.

French outlet Melty recently had the chance to interview Yoshiaki Koizumi and Shinya Takahashi, who provided them with quite a few new details on the Switch.

First of all, while we already knew for a while that the Switch uses Bluetooth in some way, Koizumi now confirmed that the Switch is compatible with Bluetooth headsets – and that’s not all, as they (and regular wired headsets) can be used even when the Switch is in docked mode.

Speaking of, the dock will be the only way for the Switch to output video. It won’t be possible to, for example, hook up an HDMI adapter to the Switch’s USB-C port.

Finally, Melty asked Koizumi about possible GameCube Virtual Console games on the Switch. While Koizumi sort of dodged the question, stating that he didn’t really have anything to announce at the time, he did say that they were “working on some things along those lines”. When Melty followed up by asking about the possibility of creating Joy-Con controllers with special functions, for example ones with analogue triggers specifically for GameCube Virtual Console games, Koizumi said that, while nothing is planned at the moment, the Switch is designed in such a way that accessories like special JoyCon controllers could be connected to it. Shinya Takahashi chimed in at that point, stating that, while Joy-Con controllers with analogue triggers would probably be pretty bulky and not pleasing to look at, they would make sure to include them, should they ever make special Joy-Con controllers like that.

51 Questions And Answers About The Legend Of Zelda: Breath Of The Wild

quote:

Starting when the game launches on 3rd March, players will be able to purchase an Expansion Pass for £17.99/¤19.99, granting access to two new sets of downloadable content for the game when they become available later this year. Immediately upon pre-purchase or purchase of the Expansion Pass, three new Treasure Chests will appear in the game’s Great Plateau area. One of these Treasure Chests will contain a shirt with a Nintendo Switch logo which Link can wear during his adventure, exclusive to the Expansion Pass. The other two Treasure Chests will deliver useful items. The first content pack is scheduled to launch this summer and will include the addition of a Cave of Trials challenge, a new hard mode and a new feature for the in-game map. The second content pack will launch in Holiday 2017, and adds new challenges that will let players enjoy a new dungeon and a new original story. The Expansion Pass will be available for both the Nintendo Switch and Wii U versions of the game and are identical. Content packs cannot be purchased individually.

Uitbreidingen zijn ook al zo oud als de CD ROM... Red Alert had het al.

En het kan een game voor weinig geld nieuw leven inblazen. Zelda heb je straks in mei/juni wel uitgespeeld. Dan komt er voor slechts 20 euro nieuwe content. Tot twee keer toe zelfs.

Natuurlijk weten we niet of het écht de moeite waard is, en daarom kun je wachten met de aanschaf. Het is niet verplicht.

En als je er wel een probleem mee hebt wacht je op de Swotch en speel je de Deluxe editie in 4k over drie jaar.

Het mooie aan Nintendo games was altijd dat ze "af" waren. Geen gezeik met DLC - Season Passes - oneindig veel patches. Maar om je vraag te beantwoorden, ja, ook betaalde DLC voor die games - sowieso, betaalde DLC, maar ook microtransacties en al die crap... ontwikkelingen die wij als gamers hadden kunnen missen als kiespijn. Daarom is het wel frappant dat Nintendo heel erg conservatief is en was m.b.t. online gaming, maar wel gezellig meedoet met bijv. season passes.

Here is some insight and some clarifications that I think help provide perspective and clear up certain common misconceptions.
The Expansion Pack Bonus / Sometimes Confused as DLC Pack 1 or Day One DLC:
The Expansion Pack Bonus is not a DLC Pack. The reason it exists is to give early adopters a bonus for purchasing something that is still in development and supporting the company early. Due to the DLC not releasing any time soon, they are offering a small trinket to give the buyer something special until the DLC is released. It is still included even after the DLC releases because people would be upset if they couldn't get items others got even though they paid the same price no matter the size of the bonus.

Announcing the DLC Now Opposed to Later:
The game went gold recently: http://www.idigitaltimes.(...)switch-launch-583099 meaning they are just now finishing the retail version and are about to have the game printed and pressed for release. This means they have been working on the game all the way up until this point only a month before launch. Due to this, this means the DLC has likely just entered its planning stages and none of the assets or barely any of the content has been created beyond the planning stages which is likely why there's no specific number or exact details.
Announcing DLC now does not put them at an advantage when it comes to sales due to potential negative stigma about the DLC and possibly losing earlier adopters who were on the fence and opting to purchase at the end of the year. But, the purpose is likely so they can announce it for fans to let them know that the game that they might be potentially supporting will not stop being worked on even though it had just been finished for retail release. They are showing that once you have the base game they will keep creating content for it for at least a year that will release for you to enjoy if you decide the value is worth your money. The content is optional and is priced lower than a majority of other season pass items.

Examples of Season Pass Pricing:
(I tried to pick examples from several companies)
Witcher 3: $25 (Hearts of Stone an all-new 10-hour adventure and Blood and Wine a 20-hour tale with an all-new in-game region of Toussaint)
Mario Kart 8: $12 (4 cups 16 tracks total, 6 characters, 8 vehicles, 8 colors for Shy Guy and Yoshi)
Battlefield 1: $50 (16 Maps, New frontline battles, Prority server Access, 20 weapons, 14 dog tags, Once per month battle packs for 14 total, All Deluxe set Bonuses)
Street Fighter 5: $30 (6 characters, Colors 3-10 unlocked for default and premium battle costumes) Note: this is just Season 2 there was an earlier one too.
Call of Duty IW: $50 (4 map packs in 2017 including all-new multiplayer maps and zombies content)
Far Cry 4: $30 (Escape from Durgesh Prison mission, the Valley of the Yetis story, the five pre-order missions plus weapons, and Overrun – an exclusive PvP mode.)
Resident Evil 7:$30 (Banned Footage Vol. 1, Banned Footage Vol. 2)
Sniper Elite: $35
Disgaea 5: $35
DOA5LR: $92.99 (I couldnt resist)
Most Other New games: $30-$50
Most Older games: $20-$30 (but battlefields and cods remain $50 no matter how old typically)

DLC Pack 1:
Cave of Trials
DLC pack 1 adds something called a Cave of Trails Challenge. This point is typically overlooked due to probably expecting it to be similar to other offerings in other Zelda games. Wind Waker and other Zelda games had offerings that likely evoke memories that would equate this particular bulletin point as small content. However, breath of the wild has gone out of its way to break several conventions and most conventional things are made a lot differently and with a far grander scale than any Zelda game (and most other open world games) has ever seen. We cannot assume that this trial will be a simple 1 hour experience as perhaps it could be some kind of mode that makes use of the large number shrines in the game or might even be an additional challenge that is on par with the scope this game provides.
Hard Mode
In addition it also adds something called Hard Mode. People have made the assumption that this mode would simply be hero mode in which you would take twice as much damage. The mode has been called hero mode in several Zelda's but the DLC explicitly calls it Hard Mode. People tend to call to this as the primary offender of bad DLC, however, I believe this will not be hero mode for these reasons:
-Taking twice damage in this game would not alter gameplay as much as other Zelda games. In breath of the wild, several enemies have the capabilities of one shotting you and several enemies gang up on you simultaneously instead of waiting their turns. Taking twice as much damage would make nearly every enemy one shot you and enemies that would one shot to begin with would simply continue to do so which wouldn't change the game dynamics as much as in comparison to other Zelda games where you can take half hearts and single hearts worth of damage as the status quo.
-Taking twice damage wouldn't take months to implement. It would be something very easy to include which is likely why people are upset (rightfully so if true). Nintendo, however, has a fairly proven track record when it comes to extra content and have even provided simple tweaks like 200cc in Mario Kart 8 for free (even when they already had paid DLC available) so its unlikely this paid dlc will suddenly go against other several good practices the company has had when it comes to DLC and in addition to that, if it was that simple they would only benefit from including it in the base package to extend playtime to an already seemingly large game.
-This doesn't mean hero mode does not exist in the released version. It could still be around and this DLC mode could be the "New Hard Mode" which is exactly as it's described as.
What hard mode could be is a more thorough overhaul of the games systems and mechanics to better suit the way the game is designed. Some examples of how this could be done could be things such as making the weather extreme, changing boss behaviors, making certain aspects more random (dungeon, map, shrine layouts), re-tweaking item balances and durability, in addition to damage tweaks and different AI. This would make a lot more sense for the time it would take because it wouldn't simply be taking extra hearts. It could possibly be a master quest style offering that turns the game on its head in several ways making the extra development time make sense.

DLC Pack 2:
This pack is usually the one people are mostly okay with, but I'll still go through some more obvious points and insight just in case.
New Original Story
The new story sometimes might be though of as a minor part or a mere side quest, but a new story could also mean that there are several story developments and things that affect the world that provide additional gameplay due to them. Story elements drive the narrative, but can also change and fuel the landscape of how the game is played based upon the scale and direction the new story takes place. It could even introduce new regions to the game.
New Dungeon
Currently the Game Informer crew has been the only group to try a dungeon and it is likely that it was the very first dungeon. A lot of the speculation has come from this preview, but during the preview they said that even they didn't know if the sizes were all consistent and were merely comparing that particular dungeon to previous Zelda games and stated several times that it is something they will have to play other dungeons to confirm.
They mention the dungeon quotes here (Spoilers even though it isn't detailed):

Game Informer's Exclusive Impressions Of The Legend Of Zelda: Breath of the Wild

Despite this, the DLC dungeons size or the elements surrounding it are completely unknown and due to this. It could be much larger or much smaller in scale and scope.
Additional Challenges
This content could range from mild upgrades to old areas, to totally new areas, to gameplay tweaks, to more trials in the Cave of Trials, or to barely nothing at all.

I am not getting the complete game:
Yes you are. When the game launches, none of the other content should be anywhere near ready. This means, in it's current state, it is the complete game. Extra content is extra content. Extra content could be added indefinitely to the game. While this means there is more content possible to obtain at a later date, this doesn't mean that the game is in an incomplete state. It means the game is completed and the content that is being created afterward is expanding a completed product. This is how version numbers on software exceeds 1.0. The 1.0 version is the completed version of what they have planned in the game design documents and any additional features beyond that are due to consumer feedback or just wanting to add features outside of the original vision due to inspiration or having additional development time.
They could delay the game for an entire year or even 5 more years to constantly make new content, but it doesn't stop the fact that the game had reached their original completed state. As long as the game is cohesive and reasonably polished with most / all of the originally planned 1.0 content intact, then the game is launching complete.
Alternatively, they could opt to not add DLC at all and not expand the story to give players more things to do within the game world that some fans might enjoy in the sake of saying that the content has finally concluded.
