To be fair, being "social" in VR games is kind of hard when a big bulky pair of goggles is obscuring most of the top half of your face. If you've seen people playing horror games with a facecam on it it's not hard to tell that it's just not the same without actually being able to see their whole head.

Besides, once eye tracking got implemented the New 3DS's 3D functionality isn't really that far off anyway. Do something more like that, I say.

It's not that VR can't be social, it's that the tech isn't developed enough in a way that it can really be accessed in such a way yet.

The tech needs to be greatly refined and optimized before it can see any real meaningful use. Nintendo obviously wants to make The World or SAO from it, or something. ;P

I'm... not sure that's what Nintendo means by "social"? Considering they're one of the last few bastions of couch multiplayer it would come as quite a surprise to me if they actually meant a mumorpeger or anything like that - being able to comminicate with people right next to you is still important in Ninty's eyes, and VR is pretty blatantly a barrier to that. At least that's the way I interpreted it.

Then again I am posting at 1 in the morning so it's entirely possible that I'm talking crap I suppose.

I think it's the general consensus that "you can use this technology to make human connections and interactions". I think it's more in the sense that technology should augment physical human interaction and socialising, not replace it completely. That's more or less what Nintendo has attempted to do.

Yoichi Wada, the jackass behind a large majority of Square's shitty business practices and crappy games the past decade, is finally getting the fuck out.

Well, clearly there's something wrong with his influence. He should be trying to kill HIMSELF considering how the general theme of Dark Souls is YOUDIEDYOUDIEDYOUDIEDYOUDIEDYOUDIED. :P

Never even heard of the place beforehand. Someone on Facebook posted it and I just copied the link. But the fact there's video of it at least shows they were really blaming the game.

Reggie discusses the criticism against Federation Force and talks a bit about the Amiibo problem (not really on the last part).
