Evo 2014 announced for July, Xbox 360 as main platform

You mock, but the next Smash is coming out for Wii U and 3DS. APEX and EVO are the perfect places to promote these games. There is a good PR and Marketing department working for Nintendo, and this would be a good opportunity for them.

You forget that we are talking about Nintendo here

Ask me about the moon landing or the temperature at which jet fuel burns. You may be surprised at what you learn.
A little off topic but guess I'll just as it here. Anyone know when the next major is?

It was a good PR opportunity this year and they didn't take it. Department is run by Mother Theresa or some shit.

We said that showing melee couldnt be bad for the smash series either
Look how that went. Took mass hate to get them to allow it

Who did allow Smash to be streamed. The fact that their lawyers were asses doesn't mean that the company as a whole doesn't recognize how good PR promoting SMASH at a fighting tourney would be. If they didn't, they wouldn't have okayed in the first place.

Melee will be there in 2014.
 
Killer Instinct will be there confirmed, all Jago top 8.

youre defending a company for their 180
We still make fun of microsoft for the fact they had to do a 180.
We will make fun of nintendo for doing a 180. Both are because it got them terrible press
 
How does the switch to 360 affect PS3 heavy areas, like Japan?

Not really at all, since they already play on 360 as well. Really EVO was the odd one out so this change isn't a big deal in terms of the games.

The major concern is that this means 3 days of Killer Instinct across 6 dedicated streams.

Eh, if you want to look at it that way, can't stop you.

I just think they learned their lesson.

This makes as much sense as using a PS3 for every game... in other words, none.

Are there any games on ps3/360 with as large a discrepancy as sf4/umvc3? I was under the impression that, as far as gameplay was concerned, every other fighter was the same.

The namco games tend to play better on PS3.

CEO is going with both systems, whatever plays the game the best.

I think I've heard that with Tekken, and then you also have that a lot of Tekken players play on pad and that's hard on 360 (to say the least).

But yeah, ideally, it should be on the version where the community is strongest. It's not like EVO doesn't have ps3s. Should just put it to a vote.

Glad to see Microsoft sponsor a bunch of racist sexists. This is jist what they need. Whoaaaaa

Yeah but ms has to bribe someone. Goodbye custom sticks. Hello markman and madkatz. Gotta keep those chimp boards strong.

All the girls complaining about how sexist the fighting game community is. All tje racial slurs the fights and all that. Feels like 1994 all over again.

Woah there buddy.

There will still be plenty of PS3's I presume, unless the EVO organizers decide to throw them out. BBCP won't run on 360.

I'm going to wait to reserve my room until Mr. Wiz gives official details. The room situation at The Paris this year really pissed me off.

It's off-strip? Weak. Strip hotels are more expensive, but definitely worth it.

It should be a traveling production. I would like to see how EVO would do in an east coast city like New York or Philly, or in the midwest like Chicago.

Edit: And the Las Vegas Hilton isn't even cheaper compared to Paris, etc. Maybe cheaper to Caesar. They charge just as much as if they were on the strip.

There will be discounted rate, so that should help. But yeah, LVH isn't known to be a cheaper off strip hotel so I'm not expecting much discount.

Just go with Paris again so I can book a room at Bally's for way cheaper! :/

Again, pretty interesting swap and it's good to see the EVO staff accomodate games based on where they perform best. RIP in peace #PS3Lag during Capcom games. :p

#bringbackmelee

You just know it's coming back. It's a part of the 100K+ crew and the players fucking brought their A game on stage. Nintendo actually (gasp) liked what they saw at the event too.

I think the two Capcom headliners, KoF, Smash and Injustice are easy locks.

You, my friend, are very optimistic. This is Nintendo, when do they ever learn a lesson about anything?

That said, I think it's a little depressing there was not one single Melee clip in that trailer. :(

The rate for the LVH is $85 a night, and they have a monorail to the strip for $5. That means more money for Alcohol!

I hope so. Numbers don't lie!
