i do like the idea, but nintendo would surely stifle the industry if they were awarded this patent. what would they do with it? imagine if ID had patented "FPS"...
How can they patent that idea, that makes no sense at all.
Or Endless Ocean. With one big ocean we all swim in with Demon's Souls style messages.
Or Minecraft.
Or other things.
Then they flop the 3DS release .....
Now they are moving into patent troll territory ....
Nintendo are you hell bent to ensure I will never do business with you again? You sure seem to be doing a good job to win yourselves a spot right next to EA in my companies not to do business with.
and what is the point of putting a game online if it is single player?
and the example used about one player building a house and another coming later to see it, seems dumb to me. in minecraft i want to build WITH friends, minecraft is not fun to me in single player!
there are so many questions for this, but mostly WHY? i mean there a lot of people who only want to play online WITH other people, and gaming as a whole is moving toward online play with others!
but then again...this is Nintendo! they have their friends codes, and don't seem to want you to play with other people.
And it sounds like a really good idea. Imagine, An online game like a first party game, such as Mario or Zelda, where all the actions made by everybody AFFECT everybody.
If you think in concepts like special decisive events... This really would work well.
Best part is that I WAS making that face when you said that.
Hilarity ensues as Nintendo continues to do weird shit that no one wants.
