"Titanfall is being released on pc also but is basically going to look similar to the xbox one version".
You must not know anything about the source engine... The source engine can run on pretty much anything... On the PC version you have the option of selecting "insane" on texture quality options ... To say because it didnt come out on ps4 the x1 version is going to dictate what the PC version looks like is dumb ...
The source engine was...
MSFT said the same thing after E3 when it turned out they were running the game on a PC with similar specs to the dev kits.
Makes complete sense when you realize that watch dogs and starwars 1313 werent running on the actual consoles themselves... It was pretty much proven that many of msfts games at e3 were running on PCs .. Not sure about sony but this would make complete sense.
The delayed this game cause of GTA and running behind production schedules...
I was under the impression that the E3 preview was conduct on a PC with multiple video cards? It isnt a surprise that the build they are showing now running on the actual consoles isnt nearly as good.
Never take demos at e3 at face value ...
"It can't even support Unreal Engine 4,Frostbite engine 3 and other 3rd party game engine. "
False ...
There is nothing from a technical standpoint within those engines that can't run on the Wii U... All those engines are scalable and have been or are able to run on past gen .
A big indication of where the Wii U is at from a hardware standpoint will be evident with the new releases coming out this year.
Project Cars (Multi plat good way to compare)
Watchdogs (Multi plat good way to compare)
Sonic Boom (uses cry engine)
Mario Kart / Smash (Will they be native 1080 @ 60fps? or 720 upscaled to 1080)
Bayonetta (native 1080 @ 60fps? or 720 upscaled to 1080)
X (what wil...
The issue honestly isnt that the hardware isnt good enough. Several games have shown that it is a capable system if you spend some time with it (NFS Most Wanted, Rayman, SM3DW, DK TF, Pikimin 3 and so on)..
The issue for third party developers is... who is going to buy their games on a Nintendo Platform and is it worth the time and effort to make it run well? Most developers have to make games for roughly 6 platforms (PS3, X360, WiiU, PS4, X1, and PC) sometimes 8 to 10 if yo...
My main gaming platforms PC / Nintendo kinda blur the lines on graphics and next gen... I generally look for things I couldnt previously have done on the previous generation... IE 480p Wii to 720/1080P Wii U .. games look MUCH much better than the previous offering... With PC it is different... I can tailor the gaming experience to my liking .. the graphics I get on PC have been much higher than anything ps4 / x1 are doing NOW so im not as impressed with those offerings... That is only becaus...
I cant believe people are knocking the game on difficulty... A lot of what ive been reading is that the game is too hard and visually isnt a massive upgrade ... some say it is just uprez'd DKCR.. People knock Nintendo games for being easy now and now they are all over them for being too hard... This game should be in the 90s's on metacritic.
The visuals / music alone in this game are really awesome.. I am biased when it comes to the music and sound effects because I h...
I dont think some people truly realize how freaking awesome SM3DW is... I usually play it with my wife .. but have a freaking blast just soloing the game... We arent that far maybe world 4 or 5 .. but there are moments in the game where I am like .. WHO thinks of these levels??
At one moment the other night I was taken back at how stunning the trapeze animations were when you would swing from each of them. The game is liquid smooth...
One question I have is ... Would the WiiU have been better received had it launched with exactly the same marketing BUT with the titles below spread through 2012 / 2013 with MK8 / BAYO / SB / X coming out Spring / Fall / Summer 2014
Nintendo Land
Wii Party U
NSMBU / NSLU
SM3DW
DKC TF
W101
Pikmin 3
Zeld WW
Lego City Uncovered
Rayman Legends
Wii Sports Club
Wii Fit U
Define true next gen hardware?
The game is running at 60fps locked @ 720p upscalled to 1080p.. The game looks and runs so well you cant even tell what resolution it is running at. How is this any different than what over 50% of the X1 games are performing at?
WiiU is next gen when compared to the Wii ... It went from 100% of their games at 480p to multiple rendering at 720 / 1080p... It also mirrors gameplay to the Gamepad with little to no discernible lag at...
It would serve Nintendo well to have Platinum working on Starfox, Retro working on Metroid, and Level working on Lugi Mansion U and or the Strikers series...
If they are going to double down on the GamePad I would hope all the games have online multiplayer with the gamepad serving as the main communication device.. voicechat / incoming voicecoms..
I like how the article talks about how Splintercell was such a small percentage of sales... People have a short memory because that game undersold on all platforms and performed less that expected for the publisher... Also people forget that Rayman sold better on the WiiU than any other platform.....
I love that Nintendo went out of character and funded an amazing looking game... I only hope that they use this as a lesson to do things like this moving forward. Because at this...
This article is very inaccurate when it comes to Cliffy B's accolades lol...
"or Cliff Bleszinski who created the Quake and the Gears of War series, feel like they were betrayed by their long-term commitments to certain studios."
Cliffy B did not CREATE Quake... they must have it confused with UNREAL .... John Carmack created QUAKE......
When I said LOSING it meant losing money ... MSFT is a publicly held company.. When the X1 is under performing according to their estimates and forecasts it is bad for the company.
MSFT is driven by growing LIVE and selling hardware and software... Right now all 3 are growing slower than expected and projected... Sony on the other hand according to their recent reports have reported record gains in their gaming division...
This is going to be a problem that f...
If MSFT is making the same amount of margin per console as Sony and selling less they are still losing. Based on sales reports the ps4 is selling at a rate of roughly 2 to 1 ... meaning more people will be signing up for PSN+ than xbox live...
Xbox Live has been losing its lead every single year that PSN+ is out and offering free games. PSN+ is a better value proposition and is a very similar online service..
The problem with the X1 is that it is a jack of a...
Welcome to the world of a Nintendo fan....
After a price drop on the Wii U later in the year you might be able to afford a PS4 and a WiiU bundle for the same price as an X1 + live and a game....
Every day that MSFT is justifying the 100$ premium because of Kinect is another day they will have to battle the effects of the damage it caused when they do reduce it to the same levels as the ps4...
At that point the argument will be .. Well it is the same price now and it has a Kinect? Well the argument will still be that the PS4 has better graphics? And at the point that msft decides to lower the price of the X1 it will be far enough outside of the launch window that Sony...
I dont think the publishing deal is for sequels. Respawn has the ability to shop Titan Fall 2 to any other publisher if they wanted to. Prolly something they learned when some of the founders were churning out COD for Activision.
