Wii 2: HD doesn’t mean high-end

VGD says: "We need to eliminate the notion that HD graphics and Xbox 360-level processing power automatically equal an expensive premium device."

"We need to eliminate the notion that HD graphics and Xbox 360-level processing power automatically equal an expensive premium device."

Not anymore. Those parts are super super cheap now.

thats why they said "eliminate the notion" durr.

Did this person not read ign's price mockup? If the new Nintendo console can output 1080p resi with gameplay locked at 60fps, then....? You won't be able to build a PC doing that for $200.

BlackKnight5496d ago (Edited 5496d ago )

If it is 1080P and 60FPS, I would like to see the other factors in graphics like:

LOD.
Texture resolution.
Average polygons on screen at once.
Complexity and amount of shaders being used.
Quality and amount of physics and interactivity/destruction.
Average number of objects/characters on screen at once.
Lighting/shadow quality and amount.

Any of todays games on consoles can be 1080P and at 60FPS, but you have to trade off lighting, shadowing, shader complexity, objects of screen, etc. Developers go with lower resolutions and bump up other parts to try and maintain a balance.

EDIT:

I think devs will always fall back to 30 FPS for many games, 30 FPS allows from playable framerates and lets you add more complexity than you can at 60FPS.

Active Reload5496d ago

Yeah, if I was going off of any information out right now, I'd make a prediction of the new console being high end as far as consoles are at the moment.

stealth500k5496d ago

the hardware is cheap but to develop on it is not

MasterCornholio5496d ago

I think Nintendo will stick to a low price point. I am guessing that 300 euros for a new console seems right for them

We don't even know all the specs. This site is just trying to rack up hits.

Rolling the Dice: Do Modern RPGs Miss the Point of Team-Based Play?

It seems it was long time ago. A bunch of friends spending hours on end playing RPG games, sitting around the table with the box of cold pizza. Excited about the story, listening to the Game Master, they were completely engaged in the worlds only visible to them and their imaginations.

The GM is the programmer, and in MMOs and co-ops, you can play with others. If you want to ONLY use your imagination for the visuals, read a book.

1) Hope they put it on disc this time.
2) Hope this is a positive for Neptune coming over as well.

Demons Souls5839d ago

If so, that's being developed & published by Idea Factory. Compile Heart has nothing to do with it (Thank God for that).

Godmars2905839d ago (Edited 5839d ago )

Thought Compile Heart was one of the companies lending characters.

Was also speaking in general as in regards to a US of Neptune. If these guys are offing a second game, NIS or Atlus, both of whom offer quirkier titles, will put that one out.

@kagon01:
My issue isn't - wholly - with the DL-only option, but the price. The first game should be $30. Maybe $40, and by that I mean $39.99. The only reason its $45 is the 360 disc version which has extras. Nevermind that by all rights its a PS2 game. Something that proabbly could have been done if the devs had the GOW2 engine or tools.

ClownBelt5839d ago

I approve of this god damn message.

Could have gotten my 60 bucks if they just put it on a disc.

Another exclusive damnn the ps3 keeps on rollin wit games awesome ;)

Jack-Pyro5839d ago

Is this a half decent SRPG, porn aside, cause if it is, i might just decide to go and buy it for the 360.

Anon73495839d ago

There's no porn just some sexual innuendos but that's it.

Also it is a great game by itself, maybe not graphically but everything else is top tier.

RedDevils5839d ago

so it had some kind of "top tier" porn story jk

ThanatosDMC5839d ago

Yup, it's a decent game. I just hate that a move has to go first before any attack options.
