Beware of trading scammers!

A subreddit for anything related to games (but not sports).

"Related" means that posts must contain gaming-related content in the link/post body, not just a "forced" connection via the title or a caption added to the content.

Posting Rules

  • Posts must be directly gaming-related. Thus, "generic" image macros/memes (where the character itself is not related to gaming) like Scumbag Steve, Good Guy Greg, etc. will be removed. Something that "reminds you of a game", or "looks like something from a game" is also not an appropriate submission; similarly, reaction GIFs are also not appropriate as submissions.

  • Following Reddiquette is encouraged

  • No "general" URL shorteners (bitly, tinyurl, etc). Single-site URL shorteners (such as youtu.be or fav.me) are allowed.

  • No game or product giveaway of any kind

  • NSFW submissions and comments must be labeled

  • Spoilers can be posted using the following formatting:
    [X Kills Y](/spoiler)
    Result: X Kills Y.

  • To mark a spoiler as relevant to a specific game/topic, use the alternate formatting:
    [Player 1 wins](/spoiler "Pong")
    Result:
    Player 1 wins

  • Report posts containing spoilers not using the above method

  • Don't post users' personal information.

Thank you, now can this meme please die?

Seriously - this is the "easy" use for the Wii U's controller, any dev that doesn't put at least some of their UI onto this thing is just plain lazy, and should get chastised accordingly.

If you guys really want to unlock the potential of this thing, start posting real ideas, like the one the Penny Arcade guys had about 1 player being a DM and the other 3-4 players being PCs in a D&D game.

Or how about a game like Natural Selection where you're the "Commander" and the touch screen is map interface that allows you to issue commands to squads or teammates, or spawn supplies, build fortifications, etc, while your TV is your FPS view of the action running around blasting aliens?

Or a game where you can lay traps for other players like Spy vs Spy and trigger them using the touch screen?

[–]illuminerdi 692 points693 points ago

Or a game where you're a security guard for a museum and you're trying to catch a master thief, and the gamepad is a video feed of the security cameras and you have to cycle through them and keep an eye on them so you can narrow down which part of the museum the thief is in and then head there on your TV to catch them before they get away? Throw in things like alarm systems and traps that impede the thief's progress to give a more interactive element to the touchscreen then just watching and cycling video feeds.

[–]Knight0fSpades 370 points371 points ago

Or make the thief a second player who plays with a regular wiimote!

            I work on 3D animation and occasionally get people saying they have this great idea, but don't have the artistic or programming talent, but would share profits for the game they want to make. It's hilarious.

            [–]LetMeResearchThat4U 48 points49 points ago

            Isn't the idea at least a part of the project? Or is it any idea that sounds like it'll do okay is good enough now?

            [–]elcapitaine 79 points80 points ago

            Of course the idea is part of the project! The thing is....a lot of game devs tend to have a few ideas rolling around in the back of their minds....why work on your idea when they have their own and don't need to share profits?

            The 'I have an idea, i just need devs and artists' folk tend to have a few problems as well....since theyre the 'idea guy,' they want to run the team and sometimes even micromanage since its their idea, their baby, and they want it to turn out just how they want it....except they have no idea how to run a dev team, what works and what doesnt, the concept of balanced gameplay, etc (think how many kids would love uber weapons in every level!!!!!! except the game would get boring so fast)

            Their ideas also tend to not be so original too...a lot of times the idea tends to be 'X game except this'....yeah i couldve thought of that. And the worst is the 'would share profits'....that means that they have no capital, and they don't plan on paying you until they have profits to share which means that you have no income to feed yourself for the many months or years while they find the rest of the dev team and the idea goes from idea to plans to story to game, and even once it hits the streets you only get paid if it does well.

            Ideas are part of the project, yes, but it takes more than just 'I have an idea!' to get a game off the ground.

            [–]BCLaraby 28 points29 points ago

            This is true of any artistic field. As a screenwriter I hear this all the time: "I've got a great idea for a movie, you just write it (subtext: and do all the hard work) and I'll share the profits with you."

            Uh, yeah, let me go put on my excited hat.

            Unless you're a well-known or well-funded or well-connected or up-and-coming Producer/Director (most of such people are not) I'm really not interested. I've got 4 or 5 of my own projects on the go at any one time, plus reading/giving notes on friend's scripts or client's scripts, plus any other number of favours I'm already doing for people I like or hope to be in business with.

            To these great 'idea' people I say: Learn to break down story, write a logline, an outline, a treatment (or 20) before you start your first draft -- which will mostly suck -- followed by about 8-10 drafts where you discover what you 'really' wanted to say with your first inkling of an idea, then another 3-4 drafts refining it so that you can breathlessly submit it to your agent/client as a '2nd draft' where they will then proceed to tear apart all the subtext and intriguing characters and plot twists you've spent months concocting because, frankly, they may still suck (in which case you've gotten 'too close' to the project) or because there's not enough space to fit in the giant Tarantula they want your hero to fight in the climactic final battle (in which your touching Romantic comedy is now a balls-to-the-wall Action flick starring, oh... let's say Shia Labeouf) and, congrats, you get to do the re-write -- unless they don't think you have the cojones to make it happen, at which point you're off your own movie and another writer is brought in to make the magic happen.

            But yeah, totally, I can't wait to hear your 'idea'.

            [–]wjpeacoc12 6 points7 points ago

            Great, let me tell you all about it! Haha

            Out of curiousity: what's the worst pitch you've heard? Also, do you ever get surprised and hear a good idea (I'd assume not since someone with a well thought out idea would actually write it)?

              I have no experience with game development so I'm really asking, are there "screenplays" for games? As you said, it's one thing to have an idea for a game, or a movie, but the real contribution is not the IDE but flushing out the characters and story. How does it work on the game side?

                                  No, no, you'd want the thief to be on the Pad. That way, he has his own personal screen while the guard is using the Wiimote to control what's on the TV.

                                  Actually the thief should hold the WiiU (where his actual position is shown), and the security guard should use the regular wiimote to change CC cameras on the TV.

                                  Hell. The thief should have one wiiUmote (with his pos). The guard another one (with the traps), and the TV could be used to show the game to spectators - go go party game!

                                    They could call it Firefighter simulator: WII-U WII-U WII-U (cause the name sounds like a siren)

                                    I'll see my self out now.

                                      Like a card game, where a player can see his/her cards, and the TV screen displays table.

                                          I'd actually be really sad if something like this didn't happen. The Wii U could really revolutionize RPGs and do things with them that other consoles have never been able to do. Like most people, I fear that the new controller will start out as a gimmick but if we give it a couple of years, I'm sure they'll do awesome things with it.

                                          That's what I thought about the Wiimote, but the developers never really did anything good with it. The best thing they did was let you turn it sideways and use it as a normal controller for New Super Mario Bros (which was a terrible name, btw).

                                          I hear that Zelda Skyward Sword actually implemented it interestingly, though. Enemies block from certain directions, and the player has to use strategy to swing their remote (like the sword) in the direction they want to attack.

                                          But I haven't heard of too many other games people enjoy using that stupid remote in.

                                          My son has a Wii so I got Force unleashed for it. I thought wielding a light saber would be fucking awesome. I was so wrong. It was like Jar Jar was controlling it.

                                          The wiimote action in Skyward Sword started out great until you had to defeat an enemy with a stabbing motion. So many fairies were sacrificed because the remote didn't think I was holding it level enough...

                                          The wiimote didn't really have much application besides swinging and pointing. I think the secret screen/touchscreen could go a lot farther.

                                          Depends on how many they sell. If the Wii U is flying off the shelves in a few months (after the fan base buys it up) then maybe. If its sales are not high then good luck getting any major dev house to do anything non-simplistic on it.

                                              Give EA credit; they use the screen in FIFA 13 for tactical changes on the fly (instead of pausing the game to do it) and for aiming free kicks.

                                              Virtual tennis is the only reason I haven't sold my dreamcast. I have the newest version for PS3. It's good. Just not the same.

                                                      I loved this game too. Despite the gameboys making it kinda expensive, each one having it's own item/spell menu was just great.

                                                                    [–]Jeffool 16 points17 points ago

                                                                    Dwarf Fortress U.

                                                                    The left stick moves the cursor on your TV screen (the world). The right stick changes the size of the selected area for selecting squares. The D pad changes your menu options on your gamepad. Also, you can tap them. When you switch your gamepad screen from menu to world view, you can tap squares, long-tap to initiate the creation rectangles, use the face buttons and shoulder buttons for quick-scrolling, changing levels, zoom in/out, etc.

                                                                    If Nintendo got one programmer and one artist to create a Wii wrapper for the game code, and create a few tileset options for ToadyOne to bring to PC (including a Nintendo exclusive Nintendo-themed one) toss it up on the Wii Store for five or ten bucks, and bam. The argument that Nintendo doesn't care about to the hardcore gets turned on its head. It's the "hardcore" (typically mainstream gamers) that suddenly aren't hardcore enough for Nintendo. Line up a few more titles and things just got awesome.

                                                                    [–]kkjdroid 5 points6 points ago

                                                                                                      [–]TwentySteven 8 points9 points ago

It has all of the menus on the lower screen, in combat and out. I know that there're some other games that do this as well, depending on whether or not the menu is the part of the game that requires more touch input. *shrug*

Being able to keep track of all of your stats, inventory, and magic without pausing the game, or taking up the main screen would be great. And then swiping and moving to the map, and quickly swiping back instead of using the controller to slowly scroll through menus. Ah. That would be great.
