Yes, nothing can replace seeing the 8-bit tileset (who is nicely drawn, by the way) on a Gameboy. Because on a DS, yes, it's portable, but you still won't get the same quality as the Gameboy... I miss the PS1 and the Gameboy era...

yeah, the quality between Ds and Gameboy is a lot different. I mean, with the DS they were kinda experimenting with 3D models and it didn't really look all that good imo. At least they perfected that kind of thing with the 3DS

In the same time, the DS 3D models were really low-polys since they needed to fit in a 656Kbit Video Ram. But the 3DS corrected this with 4Mbit of VRAM.

Yeah, definitely. I think the DS was used to experiment a new type of gameplay and at the time the fact it was 2 screens was really revolutionary. Now with the 3DS you have better graphics and a 3D gimmick

Sure. The DS originally was an experiment, but also a technologic challenge since the games needed to be able to run in 4Mbit of RAM. Now the 3DS allow the developers more liberty with this.

yeah definitely. And even on PCs you could see how much of a challenge it would have been to do this given how slow they run. You're definitely right on the developer liberty with 3DS

Imagine asking the developers who works for Sony or Microsoft to make a game on the DS or the 3DS, they will commit suicide, since they all use the consoles at full performances.

Yeah, pretty much because for them the superior graphics and all is a huge selling point. And it probably explains why the PS Vita has a worse game library than the 3DS..

Yes, as for Sony and Microsoft, they make their games upon this scheme :

Good Sales = HD Full 1080p Graphics who rocks and uses the whole graphic card > Gameplay, but no really developed. Even if there's also exceptions, like any gaming console.

In any case, I think one of the only things the PS Vita has going for it is the availability of Assassins Creed Liberation. It seems like a good game haha

Got the 3 on the Xbox 360, sure it's awesome ! (Even if my mom bought it (part) for her, since she loves history !)

Yeah, Assassin's Creed 3 was definitely a legit game. I liked the tie in with the American Revolution that time around (and how it involved killing people on both sides rather than just the British)

Wow, wow, wow. I'm not that far in the game, since I'm trying to complete all the objectives (including the secondary ones) !

Okay, I'll limit the spoilers then :p All I'll say though is that they improved gameplay with a certain character you don't play as that often and it's really fun :p

Yes, it's better spoiled like that, so I can appreciate the game. Thanks !

By the way, there's also guys on Miiverse using spoilers for nothing ! Just like in X/Y community, there are people spoiling their questions !

Well, on Miiverse (Wii U's at least) there's the option to put a spoilers tag on what they're posting. If they're not using that for spoilers then that's just stupid and Nintendo should check on that)

huh that's interesting. So I guess even with the spoiler tag option available people are idiots. (although to be honest, I can't say I'm too surprised that it's this way)

Yes. There's also people who don't know what incident happened with Swapnote, so they post their FCs, but against Nintendo's will.

It is what it is. Nintendo realistically can't stop stupidity no matter how hard they try. I doubt Miiverse is about to be shut down anytime soon though

Yeah if it shutdown many people would complain or rage or something so it will not shut down any time soon unless they have a new generation for consoles or they could add Miiverse to a new console xD.
