Why aren't these real yet? We have the technology for it now. So why is no one capitalizing on the concept?

>you will never debug your oven with a tamagotchi

Because it's unethical to turn your dead child into a computer program.
Also, as awesome as it'd be to have a sentient computer pal, society would probably prefer to just do it themselves, swiping/manipulating their device by hand.

that game was so ahead of its time

Dude, just make it so the game auto generates a level whenever you plug into anything. And then give the player the ability to control their navi, and fuck around the level.

nigger i'd kill to have a virtual mini-me doing all the troubleshooting

>We have the technology for it now.
Only in black op military units. Mainstream shit is just Alexa and Siri analyzing your behavior to sell you shit and control you.

It's much more lucrative to make "games" that are actually just shiny frontends to casinos.
Except they're better than Casinos in every way imaginable. Your users have a guaranteed 0% return, no matter how lucky they get. You can get kids to play in your casino and the government doesn't give a shit. Actually, none of the gambling rules apply. It's a dream come true! You tell the boomer senators that it's not gambling since your users have no chance of winning whatsoever and they agree for some reason!

Why would you waste effort on creating something like this instead? Hate the gaming industry if you want, but they're acting the way any reasonable businessperson should in this situation.

No, we don't have the technology for fully autonomous A.I. and for something that doesn't make physical sense, you fat chimp.

You're incredibly short sighted, if you can't see the money making potential in this.
You can make it so levels are procedurally generated depending on network addresses and wifi keys.
Then, you make is so some addresses are more lucky than others. This way some kids can get their hands on special chips quickly, while other kids struggle to find them. Encouraging them to pay for programs that increase drop chance.

You can also partner with business, so that when kids connect to a store's wifi, they can find special chips. Sort of like going to a mcdonalds and getting a kid's meal with a toy, except the toy is on their phone, and it doesn't cost you anything.

Huh, didn't know they made ones for Star Force

Also, you can sell items for kids to decorate their homepage.(which is stored locally on their phone) They can invite others to their homepage to hang out. So there's a social quality to this, encouraging people to deck out their personal space.

Animu Lan had some snark and an average level of intelligence, why did he become a retard during Axess?

20k dollars The picture

The internet as shown in Battle Network is inefficient as fuck.

There is money to be made, sure. But the effort is far greater than just making another gambling pseudo-game, which cuts severely into your profits.
Same as partnering with other companies. Do you think that if you, as a gaming company, come to McDonald's and ask them for partnership like this, they'll give YOU money? Nah. You'll have to pay them millions. They'll argue that they are advertising for you and they'll laugh you out of the room if you tell that that your gameshit and their exclusive chips will attract customers.

Money making is about reducing costs as well as maximizing profits. The best way to do that right now is cheaply produced, outsourced casino frontends that trick children and young adults into gambling their money away in exchange for an SQL statement that adds them a worthless item.

i remember installing an app from projectpet.online, too bad Capcom only cares about RE and SF

Customizeable assistants when
IT'S NOT FAIR
FUCK CORTANA AND FUCK GOOGLECHAN OR WHATEVER I WANT A MEDDY EXE

I'm surprised that nobody has created the TV show version of the PET that appeared in BN3 on the far left there by using 3D printing and a Rasberry Pi by this point. Maybe put a customized OS on there that plays the remixes from 4.5 based on some backgrounds loaded in or something and kept the menu selection like the games and bam, instant love and admiration from tons of people.

Instead, we've made it to the point where Capcom is finally gonna release a mobile version that's heavy on the gacha later this year.

Because imagine if the no-lifers on Yas Forums got a hold of digital superheros that level up with RPG mechanics. We would be hacking into Hillary's e-mails and taking control of Mossad and ruining the globalist jew agenda in a matter of weeks.

why isn't mayl real yet

that's just, like, animal crossing though

*crack*

Have they officially announced it yet?
I thought it was still just a rumored thing.
Considering how long XDive took I'd think end of this year is optimistic.

If everyone thought like you, then the gaming industry would have come to a halt years ago in order to capitalize on shitty gambling games. But as it turns out, a lot of people still want to make interesting video games. And seeing how they can make a good profit off this idea, I don't see what the problem is.

Sure, they'll have to pay mcdonalds, but what company DOESN'T have to pay mcdonalds to be included in promotions? The point is to promote your game, so more kids participate, so more kids spend money. The cost of promotion will comeback many times over. You just want kids to think that fighting "Burgerman" is cool, so they continue playing your game and get their friends to play too.

The bigger your audience, the more money you make by nickel and diming people for custom gear for their netnavi, custom decoration for their homepage, and paying for the chance to get special chips.

Battle Network becoming real always sounds fun on paper but you have to remember that Lan lived through countless terrorist attempts and at least six world-ending conspiracies over the course of like a year and a half.

Pretty much this, the fact that two ten year olds held some of the most powerful navis in the world should be pretty worrying.

This
They fear our autism

There are some similarities, yeah. But it's not the same at all..

While the idea is cool I'm afraid we're not there yet. The problem is the computer chip architecture itself, even if we manage to miniaturise to less than 1 nm and create a computer much smarter than a human it still will not be sentient/sapient as long we stick to von Neumann transistors.
Besides there are a lot of complicating ethical factors, and netnavis wouldn't be nearly as cool if they were just automatons you don't share a destiny with.

It's more or less announced via Protodude, meaning he had permission to give such a heavy handed hint by his handlers at Capcom. It was projected for end of the year for only Japan, though, and knowing our luck, will probably just stay over there so they can repeat Xover's deal of selling battle memory chips with girls in swimming suits and stuff that just barely tie into the series.

DiVE took longer since they seem to actually care over in Capcom Taiwan about it, probably since it's one of their first major projects, and I'd assume they're going to push it to an international release sooner than later due to the english translation and being out in AU and other places.

Roll and I share a destiny of being together forever and ever.

But Siri already exists

I mean they could reboot the series as a digital mobile tamagotchi app where its like pokemon go and you travel to stops, battle viruses, earn zenny and redeem them for chips, items and programs.
You then battle other users navis on with the chips and programs you collect as you play. With the ability to host and play in tournaments.
If the game had a strategic meta and gameplay similar to the GBA games I could see it getting a cult following

And she sounds like a grandma
I want a top tier cunny wearing spandex on my phone right now

Finally, someone is using their brain in this thread.

But why does a Gacha take this much development time? It'll have been in development for well over 2 years by the time it hits release. Something in me is hoping it'll be more than just some dumb .jpeg collecting gambling machine because it just doesn't seem to add up.

just wait for the rumored in house battle network/eguze mobage OP

that's when you do stuff like giving government agents stuff that comes pre-maxed out and with better performance than the market versions.
you also recruit out of tournaments. school event = publicly funded = government
then you see if they're interested, throw them in a training course for non-arena combat, give them a psych eval, then you've got digital combat corps.

of course that's not at all how the government works in real life.
in real life they tap you if you're like 30+ and have a great record of doing whatever your field is.
so if you're 30 and rank nationally/internationally in netbattling, and it turns out you don't have a personality like literally every named character that works for the not-feds in BN besides SearchMan's operator, you get hired. maybe they'll even upgrade your navi instead of giving you a FedNaviX.EXE.
