MetalKirbyPlushPosted 3/14/2013 7:17:37 PM | I like the concept. It's a bit obvious that there wasn't a lot of effort put into shaders and materials as well as interface, but I think the idea he was getting across was pretty cool.

Also, hilarious comment on the video:
Nintendo doesnt care about their fans anymore. Thats why they do anything cool like this.
No, Nintendo does care about their fans, and that's why they don't force this kind of awful, slow, bloated interface between us and our games. You know what's great about Wii and Wii U's GUI? I can use the Wii Remote or Touch Screen to just instantly select the thing I want without scrolling through a bunch of crap. Why would I want to go to an interface like the awful one in the video that removes that convenience? And feeling like you own the game? That doesn't do a damn thing towards making me feel like I own the game. Oh wow, I can read a promotional blurb but not the box because it's too small. I can't take the game out and look at the manual either. I can just slowly scroll around the shelves while it makes annoying sound effects. It makes me feel like I've died and gone to hell, not like I own anything. seconded, and that type of interface is only nice when you buy dozens of games to add to your "virtual collection" it would look crappy to only have 1 or 2 games. It's unnecessary, some wanna be programmer just wanted to show off his project and garner praise, why else would it take him half the video to get to the actual content? --- "Naruto isn't a ninja.

Eye of the BeholderPosted 3/14/2013 9:32:37 PM | I would feel less pained at not having boxes and manuals anymore if they made the interfaces for games look like that when bought digitally.

DrOrpheus42Posted 3/14/2013 9:43:28 PM | I thought the game box and shelf setup was actually pretty cool! Though I am concerned the nice nostalgic setup gets in the way of the convenience of just tapping an icon on the main menu; and I definitely would want to cut back on that ridiculous startup animation with the cartridge popping out, pausing for effect, and spinning out of control. But I like where this is headed. |
