Pretty awesome.
@stragomccloud both Pikmin 3 and SuperMario 3D world render at 720 and output at 1080p ... Also I believe Pikmin 3 is 30 fps while Mario 3D world is 60fps.... Other than Rayman Legends I am not sure of a native 1080p game running at 60fps on the Wii U yet?
Mariokart is rumored to be 1080p @ 60 fps along with Smash ... Hopefully when it is released it isnt 720 rendered and 1080p output...
Can't you avoid using the rental system?
Bioshock according to all the rumors was in development for roughly 6 years with over 200 staff members because they scrapped it a few times.. They said development was upwards of 100 million with another 100 more in advertising... It may all be rumor but im sure part of it was true..
According to rough estimates the game sold 4-5m which technically would mean the game could have lost money / broke even depending on the price points the game was sold at.
If y...
John Carmack and Cliffy B left ID / EPIC ... id say those are 2 more to add.
I bought one at launch and ended up selling to a friend since it didn't have any games I really wanted to play yet. I wont feel sorry for people until major releases come out and people cant find any.
As it stands now there isnt anything on ps4 that is making me regret selling it until later. Especially when I can play titan fall on the PC :)
Prolly the best era of gaming ... I grew up playing Commander Keen, Wolf3d,Doom 1-2, Quake 1-3, and All the UTs...
I still LAN Quake 1/2/3, UT2K4, CS GO, NS2, and TF with my buddies.
We are totally hoping that TitanFall would have LAN play because we desperately want new games to add to our rotation. But knowing EA it wont ... Just so stupid considering the Source engine was built for online play so it couldnt have been hard adding it as an option...
...
Unreal 2k4 was by far one of the best arena shooters ever... Online and LAN play was awesome... outside of the quake series there has been no better online arena shooter series other than Unreal period.
Source engine games are heavily CPU based rather than GPU.. which is most likely the reason why they used it for Titanfall. The source engine scales really well on older tech, which is why you see games like portal, team fortress and cs go run well on consoles.
Using the source engine as a basis of comparison vs the x1 is not really fair because Source engine games can run at 60 fps at 1080p easily on most machines made 5 years ago. The versions look similar but all gameplay ...
You have no idea what you are talking about ..
Playing on a mouse and keyboard is the definitive way of playing an fps game ... The fps Genre was practically CREATED on mouse and keyboard ...
Before you dog on computer gaming as hardly gaming.. Take a minute to realize that Wolfenstein,Doom, Duke Nukem, Quake, and Counter-strike were practically the reason why COD exists...
The Engine used for titan fall is the Source engine... If it wasnt...
You do realize the xbone doesnt run this game at 60 fps solid? All the game play demos you can see fps drops in big battles which the entire game is practically a big battle in every moment.
PC version will be native 1080 with AA / AF / and better lighting lol ... You gotta remember this game is getting nerfed on the PC because they had to make an X1 version ...
The difference between Nintendo and other companies that have folded like Atari or Sega is Nintendo still has immense value as a company.
Even with the WiiU selling terribly almost every single first party title they have released was a MILLION seller... All they need to do with the Wii U is not let it HURT them any further ... They just need to recover slightly and let the 3DS carry them a bit.
Nintendo is in deep water right now , they should be reaching out to everyone and anyone to try and work something out. And it is quite displeasing that Minecraft wasnt pushed to be released on the Wii U at launch or within the window.
The target demographic for this game and possibly 3ds and 2ds implementation is crazy... They could have done some amazing things with it like 2 player mode ... 1 player with wii remote or pro controller on tv and the other on the game pad .. A...
I still LAN UT2K4 with my buddies... Instagib CTF is the best!
Nintendo honestly just has to ride it out ... At this point they would lose a lot of fans if they release something within another year... they gotta at least wait 5 years to even think about something else. The Wii U is still a good system and just needs to be tweaked a bit to stay relevant.
Nintendo needs to learn what they did wrong, take the pulse of the community, and include 3rd parties in the dev of the next system.
I honestly think this gen was a bust...
@scissors I simply stated something Nintendo was already doing... they recalled all the Wii Basics from retailers and repacked them as Skylanders bundles... I also make a habit of waking by the electronics isle in most stores I visit to browse ...
99% of the time the WiiU consoles still on the shelf are the Nintendoland bundles... The other bundles they released have way better boxes and value propositions. Retailers wont restock their inventory of Wii U consoles if they have...
You do realize outside of Kinect they do essentially the same EXACT same thing (The Eye isnt as robust but gives you some of the same experiences)? Most people I know turn off all the Kinect features anyways because overtime you get lazy or you get tired of repeating yourself.
MSFTS problem was they tried to tap into casuals and sell a machine everyone would love ... They tried what Nintendo did with the Wii .. they wanted to grow a demographic by appealing to new customers.....
I have a business degree... and here are my 2 cents..
Nintendo needs to stop the bleeding and shoot for break even and take any profits that come after. Their road to recovery is not letting the Wii U hurt them and letting the 3DS carry them to profitability.
-Keep pushing the Wii U as is (keep tablet)
-Drop price from 300 to 250 (has to happen even tho it will initially hurt their numbers)
-Start a campaign around calling the system the Ninte...
Software at this point is not the issue for the Wii U .. regardless of what they release in 2014 (Mario Kart and Smash) it wont drive the console sales high enough and long enough for it to be crazy successful.. it is going to give Nintendo a holiday bump in the middle of the year and a head start into Christmas.. but after that Nintendo wont have anymore heavy hitters to carry the console. Contrast to popular belief Zelda / Metroid doesn't sell gangbusters or drive HUGE console sales. Lo...
I still cant believe people were freaking out about the game going from 792p to 720p ... the difference is so marginal in terms of visual quality ... at least frame wise it will run better if they drop it to 720p.
