Re: Revolution Details
I agree and disagree. I think Nintendo should definitely invest in a high density medium. However, the arguement about high def cutscenes is slowly going to become obsolete because the real-time cut-scene abilities of a console will be extremely high. The gap between in game and real-time cutscenes gets bigger with every generation. So unelss high def video is used (i.e. a Star Wars game that uses footage), it's really going to be unnecessary.
But, as Nintendo's older consoles have shown, a bigger medium is definitely a source of bigger support. Square says they'd like to support Nintendo this time around. Well, they said the same thing before the N64 came out, showing a 3d version of FFVI on the N64 dev units. And the day they found out the system would use cartridges, Square formatted the HD on that puppy and sent it packing back to Nintendo.
So I see the arguement. I just think that eventually there will be methods of negating it.
