Formula One All Stars

Wii U not even getting proper ports.

[Olivia Wilde Homo]

WEEEEOOOO ZOMBIE FUCK YES

It's probably Plants vs. Zombies.  I don't think they've milked the fuck out of the game to their satisfaction yet.

[Enl]

Monsters Party?

Could this be the long awaited Monster Party sequel I have always dreamed of?!? 

[Oblivion]

So...uh, did we get any new spec details yet?

[Tasty]

Why would we? Nintendo's upped their ninja army if common sense and dcharlie are to be believed.

omg, the GAF WiiU thread. They're currently discussing - with much excitement - the possibility of playing Skyrim. In 2013

So a developer in Santa Monica has been showing off the Wii U version of their game to certain journalists in the area this week.

There are no tards like nintards.

Is Bethesda even on board at all? I remember an Interview Todd Howard said our games "don't fit" on Nintendo systems.

[pilonv1]

Would be funny if the port the Wii U wasn't of Skyrim but of Oblivion.

[Cerveza mas fina]

This reeks of every Nintendo home console launch since the n64.

Dream Team!

[Trent Dole]

... i really should do something with Everyonehatesnintendo.com

Have you shopped Reggie's head onto Ray Romano yet? Because that is the first thing I would do if I owned such a domain.

[Sho Nuff]

I want this

[Tasty]

Latest GAF-originated rumor is that Nintendo's replaced the sliders with clicky sticks, however that sounds like fanboy wishing to me so I don't really buy it. I guess it's possible, though.

[Phoenix Dark]

reading that Wii U thread i have one concern : is it possible to die of deja vu?

I'm expecting a RED STEEL announcement any day now

[Mr. Gundam]

BLUE STEEL: THE DER-ICK ZOO-LAN-DER SHOOTER.

[Damian79]

Why n earth would you buy a pc game on a console?  :/

[Takao]

"1080p"
Games from third parties

2005 called. They wanted their buzz words back.

[maxy]

Gamasutra: I know it's under wraps, but you guys are probably feeling pretty okay about Unreal Engine 4.

Tim Sweeney: Yeah, we're starting a behind-closed-doors showing of the engine to developers; this is part of our very early ramp-up cycle. We went through this cycle with Unreal Engine 3 starting in 2003 and 2004. At some point we'll make public announcements and ramp up to the point where developers are shipping games, but it's very early right now. We're aiming very high, and the intended platforms this is aimed at haven't even been announced.

You mean Nintendo making an underpowered piece of crap will once again bite those in the ass who think they're going to get third party support? Why I never ...

ShockingAlberto's basically said although Wii U is "easily" better than the two current HD twins ("by a country mile" were his exact words), the "generational leap doesn't apply to it." Likened the gap between Wii U and PS4/720 to "Witcher 2 on low settings" versus on high settings, and likened the gap between Wii U and PS3/360 to Xbox versus PS2.

Pinning your hopes/expectations on the word of ShockingAlberto.

I was going to say offering his bunghole up to Van Cruncheon for the world's easiest buggering, but that works too.

ShockingAlberto is crushing dreams, more than anything.

Besides that people were complaining there wasn't any hardware news lately, I clearly outlined who it came from, it's up to you to take it or leave it.

Would be great if true.  I understand sliders on the 3DS and PSP, for compactness and w/e.  Don't know why they'd be on a console controller when they're so much worse than analog sticks.  And for the sake of parity, Nintendo really should just include clickable sticks and analog triggers.  If Vita ever gets video games, it might run into input mapping problems.

but yeah, rumors.  problem is you tend to believe the rumors you want to believe.

[maxy]

people were mostly impressed by some lighting UE4 shit at GDC...toothfairy info

some kind of realtime GI

I recon that requires a shitload of gpu power

if WiiU doesn't match min specs---unreal engine 3 for u

[Takao]

Likened the gap between Wii U and PS4/720 to "Witcher 2 on low settings" versus on high settings, and likened the gap between Wii U and PS3/360 to Xbox versus PS2.

So basically Nintendo is going to have to hope Sony doesn't debut some stupid tablet controller at E3 for release this year.

[maxy]

"realtime GI" is a PR/ marketing term being thrown around even this gen. I will belive realtime global illumination when I see it on PS4/ Xbox 720 with Kinect 2.0.

Currently even super high-end PCs running tech demos with REAL realtime GI show only some balls bouncing around in empty room @ 20 fps.

Nowhere near real outdoor game (think Quake 1 vs Just Cause 2).

Yeah.


The only question is how good is their approximation and how much "power" it needs to run in real time.

If Epic sets the bar on PS4/720,though luck Nfans.But on the other hand TV tech is at 720p/1080p so that gives some room to maneuver.

Sony's sunk pretty low before but I don't think they'd go that far, nor do I even think they have the ability to do it at this point. If they did, games support would be abysmal, although that's nothing new for them (hardy har har.)

[maxy]

Well,there is some rumor about some controller surprise(but for PS4).

Can you imagine the shitstorm when Darksiders 2 and all the other 3rd party games come out on the Wii U and have aliasing problems, framerate problems and sub-HD issues?

nfans, so far, think every PS360 port on the Wii U will be void of those issues

crazy people

Not even PC gets console ports without problems.

[cool breeze]

if sony was going with a tablet controller, it would benefit both the wii u and ps4.  people get too pissy and selective about companies copying ideas.

[Momo]

Dont they already have that theoretical setup with Vita as a makeshift Tablet though?

[Tasty]

Just like Nintendo and the GBA. Doesn't really make a difference if it isn't standard.

[Momo]

^While that is true, they could still port the tablet features over as an option and leave the rest of the game vanilla for those without a Vita.

Where is the value of that I hear you say? Sony would probably market the hell out of it to get more Vitas sold(and hence, more exposure for the publisher).

[maxy]

Vita is $250 controller though ...at the moment
And what about lag,freezing,not working with every game,etc?

WiiU must be free of those issues because tablet will be packed with every console.

Maybe for PS4,there is some rumor about Sony changing some Vita thing at the last minute/PS4 related.

[cool breeze]

I wouldn't put it Sony to require both versions of the same game.  Don't worry, there will be bundle for $79. value!

[Takao]

Sony would probably have to take a big loss on doing a PS3+Vita bundle to make it worthwhile to anyone. They could see it working because it means you're selling 2 platforms into every household, but I don't think they're in a position financially to take that risk. That said, it is a move I'd expect from a desperate company, and that kind of describes Sony right now.

[maxy]

It would be absolutely hilarious if Sony did that at E3/TGS just to counter WiiU."Oh look,we have the same thing as competition,we will not be left behind"

[Takao]

If that bundle somehow existed, and was within the Wii U's price range I honestly don't know why anyone would buy a Wii U outside of Nintendo fans.

I'm also the same person who thought Sony should've launched PlayStation Move for PS2 years ago to sweep the Wii's leg since they shared so much software anyways, but of course that didn't happen.

[Tasty]

I'm pretty sure the next Xbox is going to have a tablet.  Pretty, pretty sure.

That's fine, as long as Sony doesn't do it.

[Takao]

If Microsoft does it, and Nintendo does it. Why would you think Sony wouldn't? Sony's not the most innovative company, they're more so iterative, which is good since their execution of things is generally a lot better than the competition (talking tech wise here) but that leaves them LTTP on a lot of things. I doubt they'll want to stay LTTP here.

[Tasty]

NO. SONY.

[cool breeze]

is this a nintendo grudge or a sega one?

 

[MCD]

It's a Google grudge.

[Tasty]

It's a Google grudge.

On the Google side Sony's actually pretty cool. Make pretty looking phones with good cameras, and their Google TV... TVs were a pretty great deal when they came out. Shame Sony may axe that division altogether... Would rather they get out of gaming.

not to sounds like an ntard but i don't know why people worry so much about the graphix,i'm much more worried about what the heck all those japanese developer are going to do,they had budget problem with hd titles and sucky result on the wii,so what happens when now there is a console that combine the two and the alternative gives them even bigger budget problem?

Learn better workflow techniques and standards so they don't end up spending 6 years on a game that takes the west 2 years?

[Human Snorenado]

Hey now, adding that much WHIMSY takes 4 years
