Oh noes! Guess it will bomb worse than 360 did with the problems it had. The other videos there are funny as well.
What do people exspect. Systems always crash durring shows like this. I once crashed Tony Hawk 4 for GBA at E3. It's just funny since the internet goes crazy when a xbox or ps2/3 freeze up at a cofference. Now we can all see it happens all around the table.
Its only natural that stuff freezes so many computations, all it takes is one single bad moment or a bug - and most of us know, bugs arent hard to "implement" in a game
What you talking about. Bugs are put in my coders so it looks like were actualy doing something come beta phase. Crashes in comercial games are just "Crash Feature" that we forgot to remove. :love: ( That was a joke )
I heard those Wii's in the freeze videos on youtubes, are dev kits. They are green right? So we Shouldn't have nothing to worry about (I hope cause I allready reserved mine)
They re test units, like NR-gamecubes. Retail units with different optical drives. You cant develop a game with it exactly, but yeap, they re devkits
It's either A: Buggy Software or B: Overheating from ghetto ass case. Take your pick. Also I've never had my 360 overheat, but it has frozen once.
Speaking of the 360, Live is down today for maintaince. =( And I was just trying to log on to play some Perfect Dark Zero.
Hehe a frozen wii is nothing. I crashed a whole bank of gamecubes when i was at ects. We were playing the finished proto of mariokart DD outside earls court on a massive 100ft screen complete with sit in go karts with monitors. Pretty cool to see. We were all playing via lan but my screen acted weird so i did the soft reset via the button combo on the wavebird and managed to crash all 4 cubes in front of about 50 people, hehe nobody knew it was me but it took them 15 mins to sort it out.
a friend of mine wanted to see if his Nintendo64 could crash. He really did it. After 8 hours of nonstop playing Mario Kart the unit was frozen.
I believe Nintendo's standard for this is 16 hours on GC (It may have been less on N64, but I doubt it.) There are always crashes and other showstopper "A high" bugs in every game, it just hits a point where they become highly unlikely, hard to track down, or next to impossible to repeat. Back when I was at THQ with Destroy all Humans there's a trick to flip a large object on top of the flying saucer (such as a tank or the Washington monument) and maybe 5% of the time it will push the saucer through the ground, whereupon it would get stuck and you could fly around down there. Problem is it was extremely hard to reproduce, eventually it became not worth sitting there for five hours just trying to prove this one bug still existed. Another one was you could shoot these bombs and make tanks and cars fly up, and occasionally if you were lucky you can catch one on top of the saucer, then it would get stuck inside the saucer, and if you tried to land like that when you exited the ship you'd be permanently stuck inside the object. Once again too hard to reproduce and thus deemed "acceptable." So a game crashing after 8 or 16 hours of continous play, although that's still not cool, it's "acceptable."
Your game system will not crash after 8 or 16 hours of play. I left my N64 on for days because I did not have a memory pak to save Quest 64. I had no trouble leaving it on for around a week for me to finish it. You screwwed up your system if you have trouble keeping it on that long. Although if you bump the cartridge and your edge connector is old and shitty, you may crash the game. Also if you have poor ventilation or it's excessively hot your system may overheat. But really under normal operation you can run your system indefinitely until moving parts crap out on you, provided they have any. Just remember arcade machines would run all day and in some places all day and all night. There's no magical reason things would crash after X amount of time. Hell your PC should be able to run for weeks or even months without crashing.
i know of a little PC in a research center, that has been running 24/7 for the past 15 years at least
