@thatonedudenick:This is what happens when you are expected to inform investors, and don't give a damn about being flashy or forthcoming to your audience.
Assume all Next Zelda footage to be from the Wii U version UNTIL the NX is unveiled.
Only if it is hands-on gameplay... If it is prerendered or prerecorded, I would take any footage with a truckload of salt, since it could easily be captured from the newest hardware.
@mortface: Because the gaming industry, almost by design, tends to attract a lot of younger people; which are able to compromise a lot more time for a job description they feel passionate about, are more gullible about their responsibilities and their management, and have little to no experience in other jobs to fully understand how atypical crunches are (I can't say I am unfamiliar to them, I have had my fair share; but in time, you stop seeing them as "something to be proud of your work and your team", and start seeing it as destructive and unsustainable).
I can't remember the source of the statistic, but I remember I read somewhere that the average duration of an IT work in game development is about 4 years. That is crazy... it means most people that start working at game development at 20, will grow dissatisfied and move on to better conditions by the time they reach 24. That creates a situation where experienced industry veterans are an oddity (which also affects how games get so buggy), and the only the industry can support this grindhouse for fresh talent is that there is always new people waiting to replace the ones that burn out...
People need to pay attention to this... However, without a union to support the employees, there really is little to do outside of showing disdain for the situation.
OT: I don't feel too good about these news. I get why Sony and MS are being pushed into this move, but it goes against the appeal of the consoles, three years is too short of a life cycle, and I can see the PS4 sales dropping to a halt between the announcement of this new version and its release...
@dudeglove: In the case of the twilight zone, this is not even a new phenomenon. This would be the third revival of the series (after 1985 and 2002), not counting the two movies that used unfilmed episodes scripts or directly remake iconic episodes; or the countless movies inspired by episode scripts...
Just to clarify, this is still a concept, and only applicable to XBox + Win10 PC architecture. If Steam or Sony doesn't want to play ball, this will be dead in the water.
And, to be honest, I don't know why would they. Sony and Steam are here in a position of power, their products dominating their respective markets, the same as MS last generation when they used to forbid such behavior. It is in their best interest that people still chose which version to buy depending of their friends choice. They also have proven they can integrate their platforms (Street Fighter 5, Portal 2), although why we haven't seen more of this is beyond me (besides the obvious reason of difficulty).
There is a point to be made about this list being different from the staff's list, specially when it comes to exclusive games (Splatoon, Mario Maker and Tomb Raider). After all, not many people here has a Wii U...
