D3Live: PlayStation Vita & Wii 2

2011-06-04
hey guys and welcome to this week's episode of d3 live so today I'm going to be talking about some of the things I expect to see next week at e3 a most notably the Sony in GP as well as the Nintendo Wii to now do keep in mind those are both code names i'm going to be talking a little bit about some of the names i expect but I take all the names of the grain of salt we will definitely find out next week but well talk a little about some of my predictions what I expect to see what I'd like to see a lot kind of good stuff so the first thing I want to talk about is the sony in GP which most likely will be called these Sony PlayStation Vita's some kind of combination of that but yeah the next generation in GP PSP to whether they're going to call it and then we've already seen some about this they showed a about two or three months ago they showed it off a little bit ago and we already know a lot about it but what I do expect to see is some sort of release date hopefully i should be sitting at this year rather than mixture as well as a price now as far as the NGP the video or whatever it's going to be called as far as the price goes I think that's going to be a very very important thing and when they first showed it off there's a lot of people saying including myself it's going to be really really expensive I mean you got a five inch LED touchscreen you got a rear touchscreen you've got quad core processing mean there's a lot of power and a lot of technology packed into that console so a lot of us were respecting it's going to be very very expensive whoever sony has been pretty much non-stop ever since that they showed it off that it's going to be very reasonable it's going to be priced right there's going to be a lot they've been talking a lot about the price and how they think it's going to be really reasonable so the best way I can kind of think about that is compared to the 3ds which courses two hundred fifty dollars now if they can come close or match that I think they will be absolutely golden i think that the NGP is a lot more hardware it's a lot more you know technical power and all that kind of stuff then the 3ds so if they can get in around that slaw I think they'll have no problem selling millions and millions and millions of them up as far as that the Vita goes that's about as far as we know of course we know pretty much everything else course I'm sure they'll show like some software stuff and everything but that's going to be about it as far as that goes now probably going to be a little bit more important is the next generation Nintendo Wii which I'm just going to be calling way to I'm almost sure they'll come up with a better name than that but whatever so the next generation we has been a long time in the coming a long time coming that phrase goes it's been expected for several years now and there's a lot of really cool things that we're expecting so of course this is also officially confirmed Nintendo has said that he'll be showing off the next generation of Nintendo Wii at e3 so the next couple of days we'll be able to see it but as far as the specs so what features all that kind of stuff goes we have no idea but we have heard a lot about it so let me go ahead and talk a little bit about what I think and what I hope to see so the first thing is is that it should have some really interesting controls so as opposed to you know using the you know the motion controls of the way which was really the number one reason why people bought the way in my opinion anyway this actually seems to will have some sort of touch screen now as far as the size the button layout all can't stop I honestly have no idea we'll have to wait and see but I do expect to have some kind of controller with a screen with some physical buttons as well and most likely with some motion sensing perhaps even cameras so that's really interesting on one hand I think that having a controller that's basically you know a lot like the NGP it's got all kinds of you know fancy touch screens and whatnot on the other hand though I'm absolutely dreading going to go down to my local video game store buy a new controller it's going to cost like you know an arm and a leg to buy us but that's kind of besides the point hopefully they'll include a couple of them in the package but who knows but anyway the control looks to be really impressive and as far as the console itself goes is actually you should be no slouch so pretty famously the wii has been very very another word i guess capote it's been very very slow compared to the playstation 3 and the xbox 360 since it's basically Nintendo GameCube hardware with just a little bit a couple of tweaks in here and there I'm the graphics has been nowhere near their counterparts and because of that it's kind of hard to make games if you know if you decide to make a game you can make it on xbox can make it on PlayStation might have it on the pc but there's no way that that game which is going to look really nice is going to run on the wii and what they seem to be able to change this because the next generation we the we too should have much much more powerful hardware now there has been some leaked specs the online uh you know quad core processor and all kinds of stuff like that but again i don't want to get into the specifics we will find out next week but anyway i do expect the next generation we to be a major major upgrade anyway for the second segment of d3 live i will be taking live questions from everyone in the chat so currently have quite a few people right now so let's just take some questions about the different topics and see what you guys have to say what do I think about the OS on the PS Vita that's a great question from what we've seen and do keep in mind we've only seen just a couple of screenshots really not a whole lot of in-depth stuff I'm not very impressed of course you know it's going to be touchscreen it seems to be getting rid of the standard interfaces we've seen on the PSP and the ps3 but on the other hand it looks kind of a little childish little kind of unfinished if you will I was just a bunch of big buttons to just press a big bunch of colored buttons hopefully that's not done yet hopefully they will kind of refine it make a little bit nicer looking of an interface but from what I've seen right now I'm not impressed at all am I going to buy the wii too i honestly have no idea more than likely i probably will but I'm what you see I do i do own the original way and i really haven't found that much use for it i mean pretty much the only game i ever play is super smash brothers brawl and cage when i watched a little bit netflix on but mostly it's just collecting dust for the past couple years and i really hope that the wii too i I don't hope I'm almost sure that the way to will be a lot better as far as for hardcore gamers like myself but I will definitely have to wait and say about that do I think minecraft portable edition will be on the Vita I certainly hope so of course you guys aren't familiar with minecraft fantastic game and it will be coming to the sony xperia play soon and that'll be really cool since that's already kind of hooked up with sony that they were able to bring it over to the vita but of course love to what you can see about that but again yet that would be a fantastic idea letting the way too will be more expensive than the first duration almost definitely consoles pretty much always every year rather every generation you know if it's hundred dollars well the next one's going to be two hundred dollars or etc etc so yeah especially with some touchscreen controllers and whatnot although expect it would be more expensive but I don't see anything from what I've seen besides the controllers it should be like outrageously expensive like you know the PlayStation 3 was super super expensive went first came out I don't see anything any reason why would be that expensive I would definitely expect you to be probably a good bit more than the weed was with brand new but I don't think it'll be we'll see like a eight hundred dollar way to any time soon are they still aiming the way to for families instead of gamer you know that's a good question um personally I think they really need to strike a good balance now you know before the Gamecube it was pretty much well it was kind of in the middle that is kind of a little bit more towards gamers but with the way they basically like hardcore gamers like myself they really did not focus on us at all and they you know stuff like we fit and everything which well made them lots of money most of us who are like again hardcore gamers we go buy an xbox or playstation or a pc we don't go find our way and go play you know gears of war and that kind of stuff so what Isaac an engineer willing to do is strike a fine balance they don't need to lose all those families who like oh let's go play the way I mean that's a pretty big deal that you know they were able to get all kinds of people who never play video games in their life getting excited up video games so you need to keep that audience but on the other hand they really can do a lot to cater to people like me probably cater to people like you who want to play you know some action games racing games first-person shooters you know that kind of games hey guys that's it for this week's episode of d3 live now if you enjoyed the show be sure to subscribe I do a video every week saturday at three o'clock eastern time so you guys can watch the
