There’s been scant details about the Nintendo NX, the next console from the company, but in the lead-up to the E3 conference in June, more and more rumors are likely to leak. That includes a survey that’s made the rounds online in the past few days.
A marketing survey was leaked on NeoGAF, referring to the NX as a console as well as a handheld device, reported EuroGamer, which noted that its writers have “spoken to individuals who responded to the survey and can verify it exists.”
It’s unclear if Nintendo actually commissioned the survey, and it’s also unclear if the information discusses the final product.
Twitter user and gaming enthusiast Liam Robertson also posted information about the NX to his account. The information comes from a survey commissioned by GFK, a Nintendo client. He didn’t take the survey himself, but he said it was sent to several people, and the image he posted online came from one of them.
As some websites have noted, the one thing that sticks out is the 900p resolution at 60fps, which is relatively low. A number off Wii U games run at 1080p, making the survey’s claim stick out as a bit strange.
IGN reported that the survey mentions a Netflix-like, subscription-based game service that offers access to about 150 titles that are changed on a regular basis. New games are added to the catalog six to 18 months after they get released.
However, some have noted that the survey might just be a smokescreen to gauge responses about the NX’s potential specifications.
The console has been described the GFK as being part handheld. “Gameplay flows between Nintendo NX console and Nintendo NX handheld device,” it says.
Nintendo hasn’t publicly commented on the survey or any official specs.

Lots of rumors. I hope official details get announced before E3.

I spent about 10 mins crafting before getting bored and heading off into the wasteland. It's not really an essential part of the game.
I've just mainly been doing weapon mods (easy when you mark the mods you want, so you know what parts to find).
I'm guessing there may be some kind of DLC that requires more crafting/building.
Ok that's good to know. I've been watching some early game tips videos this morning and a lot of their tips seemed to involve crafting and settlement stuff. Which isn't to say that resourcing and base building isn't fun, but it's good to know it's not something I need to spend a huge chunk of my in-game time on.

Upgrading your guns is really about the only thing I spent a good chunk of time doing. I like that the crafting system is there but not necessary. It provides a valid reason to collect shit though.
Does anyone in this thread actually play games together? I'm wondering if it's worth pursuing an organized gameplay, something that included a number of people? Or maybe this is already happening and I don't know about it.
Anyway, I'm on PS4. Rocket League is an obvious candidate -- it doesn't ever seem to lag when hosting private games, and it's an easy game to pick up. We could do 2v2, 3v3, or 4v4. But am certainly open to other games as well. Just thought it might be fun to get a semi-regular thing going where we throw on our headsets and talk trash together. Is this lame? Am I being lame?

Not at all. I would totally be down for an RM game of Rocket League.

Anyone else? Could we get some sort of tourney going?
