I initially thought the level analogue sticks would be great as the playstation ones to me are awesome & my pet hate with the 360 controller is the out of whack sticks, but after closer assessment, it is hard to see how this would be comfortable as the shape of the controller demands the right stick to be set down lower on the facemuch like the 360 controller....I may be & hope I'm wrong, but it's not looking good.
You know what, who cares about all this tablet & Vita console link up stuff....I don't, I would rather play ALL next gen consoles on there standard features gamepads. Like the Pro for Nintendo, the DS4 for PS4 & equivelant 720 controller.
Can somebody give us a link where Nintendo have announced the official specs?.
Fact is, if Nintendo haven't given the public & media official, solid specs.....then guess what? Something is drastically wrong, as it is only 1.5-2 months from release.
I love all the Nintendo fangirls on here getting butthurt because the Wii-U is getting a little bit of flack here & there.
Jesus people, you fangirls would have an anuerism if you were Sony fanboys....especially months before PS3's release & for years afterwards.....meanwhile Nintendo recieved nothing but unwarranted praise, & the mass U.S. based media were sweeping the MS 360 RROD debacle under the carpet, or downplaying it with a 20-30% failure rate, when everyone ...
I'd would have rathered they have the pro-controller as standard & forget the cheap, wannabe ipad it is going to ship with.
If this was the case, they could have saved a fortune, so as the machine will be graphically competative against PS4 & 720 when they release.
Now, we get an underpowered machine with a controller that will prove as usefull & as needed as the Nunchuk on Wii. Just like the Nunchuk, the tablet for Wii-U will only go on to prove in ye...
Why are people so surprised that Sony have released a re-iteration of the PS3...it is an obvious thing to do to gain the casuals money. Loads of casuals still haven't committed to a current gen machine yet, & still have a Xbox 1 or PS2 or GC sitting under there tv's, not to mention many Wii owners are casuals, or bought the machine for there kids, & may opt for a 360 or PS3, to upgrade & stop the kids whinging about there friends having a better machine than them.....these...
They won't be giving it, a 3 gen old feature finally gets "added" to Nintendo's latest handheld.....Put simply, there is no excuse for Nintendo not including a 2nd analogue stick to 3DS.
And Nintendo fanboys, before you pipe up, think of this, you Nintendo fans, & many gamers in general are staunch advocates for GAMEPLAY before graphics & all that....well, why the hell & how can you defend a company that tries to bedazzle you with pseudo, gla...
@SegaKnuckles.
Yes, the graphics in Unchartered are phenominal, but to detract the game for linearity is stupid, as most of the greatest games in history are lenear experiences. But, I totally dissagree about the controls & gameplay, as I find them ultra responsive & great compared to clunkier feeling tps's like the Gears series.
Unchartered 2 & 3 are unprcedented games in both visuals & gameplay. So pick another game, as the physics, animatio...
I hope Insomniac give us a new Ratchet on PS4, as a launch, or close to, game.
Ratchet is already a graphical powerhouse on PS3, so I would love to see Insomniac's efforts on PS3. I would also like them to return to Resistance & give it another crack. Sony should have helped Insomniac out WAAAY more with the Resistance series, Sony seemed happy to market, hype & use Insomniac & there launch fps, for PS3's launch & Resistance name & screenshot...
Single player should never die. Sometimes all of us want to escape the idiosynchrosies of other d1ckheads in life, & single player games allow us to do that & be immersed into a universe & be & do what you only dream of in real life.
Multiplayer to me is also awesome, but I will always enjoy single player experiences.
Sad fact is, many genres have already been largely culled....I mean, look at 360, that machine hasn't seen a 3rd person 3D platformer s...
I hope they just make a damn new game from scratch....I mean, Abe's Odysee, Exodus, Munch's Odysee & Stranger Wrath ALL should have been HD'd up & put on a single disk for $40....That would impress me & make me spend the cash, but I have already bought Stranger Wrath on PS3, as well as Abe's Odysee from PSone classics range, so I am spend in this department. I am tired of all the HD remakes that are the new shovelware of this late stage of a consoles lifecycle.......
The gameplay & controls can be seen as nothing but an imporovement in all areas. Shooting whilst moving is a no brainer & has been whinged & whined about in every RE that doesn't have it after Code Veronica (the last decent RE in the series).
The reason the game not sucks, but sucks as a Resident Evil game is beacause everything that was great & ensured RE 1,2 & 3 are complete, solidified, classics.
Gone are the slow shambling, scary zo...
For me, unified is the key word. Live had a great interface & such until the latest change (which may have been up to a year ago), but point is, I hopped onto the 360 & logged onto Live a few weeks ago & I hadn't been on for quite a while (as PS3 is my go-to, game riddled console), & I thought the current Live interface was absolutely terrible, confused & the worst they have mustered up yet. Why didn't they just leave the tab based xmb.
But t...
That crap could run on the current Wii......WTF are Ninteno playing us for, complete fools or what?
I think of Donkey Kong Countries obliteration of all in it's wakes graphics, & I loo at this & think, are Nintendo pulling our legs, with a inhouse developed Nintendo title looking 2 generations old, as this does.
This game could dead set run on a PS2 with nigh a graphical difference.
Makes me think, that Wii-U will not even be as technical...
@YiLong
It looks cheap & plastic, because it is cheap & plastic. It still looks better than either the original Xbox 360 models until it went slim, & waaaaay better than the Wii & the Wii-U main console design, as they look super cheap. It also looks better than the current slim....
As I said, it looks cheap-ish for a reason, IT IS CHEAP..What you get inside is a bargain. It also looks better than my slim model, (or the current standard slim model...
PS4 & 720 will be out by Xmas 2013....one or the other, or both. In fact, it is suicide for them to release later, as Wii-U will get too much of a jump start, & people will be hanging for something new (even if they have to settle for the underpowered, barely or possibly not even really next gen. machine)
Fact is, one of the 2 biggies will HAVE to release in time for Xmas 2013, so just cause 3 will arrive on that platform, but it won't be properly utilizing that machines...
I agree jd666, those 2 games were crazy to cancel, especially The Getaway 3, as this was an already established, great selling ip.
I wish Evolution would be given the greenlight for a new Destruction Derby, Rollcage & Motorstorm for both PS3 & PS4. I would love a new MS on PS3, but not enough of us bought the last 2 (I have all 4, as I think it's THE BEST racing IP available today, after the demise of Burnout with Paradise & it's stupidly un-needed, ...

Dishonered is already pre-ordered baby, looks like the most exciting, different fps game since......well, i dunno, as it looks like a melding of AC, Bioshock & Mirrors Edge in a strange way.
All I know is, Oct. 11 is this old mans birthday, & I'm getting Dishonered & Rugby League Live 2, & I bought myself a Vita today. Yehhaaaa
