Doing their own stuff on their own time means they dont have to squeeze everything into 1-3 hours of stage time... Building the stage and paying for show floor space on top of TV coverage prolly costs an enormous amount of money...
Also the amount of rehearsal and worrying if the games will operate properly on stage is a big thing as well. They will be able to shoot and re shoot their Directs and not have to stress as much.
For the user at home we wont see an...
Yes msft can make better operating system but the speed of the ram and cpu has a great deal to do with how well that OS works on that OS.
I was under the impression that the rumor of the WiiU being closely based on the Power7 Cpu was dispelled.. It is a loose iteration of it. I do agree the multi core apus they are using for both the Xbox and PS4 arent actually as great as people think they are. When you look at benchmarks on the PC of their desktop variants they dont actuall...
Xbox One is going to be significantly faster and will integrate everything TVii does with the added Kinect support.
Clearly games will look better on the Xbox vs the Wii U because of the CPU and amount of ram... The Wii U will have the benefit of backwards compatibility and the off screen game play.
To me it all really boils down to Xbox Live... You need to pay 60 a year to use your Xbox One the way it is meant to be used.
Nintendo has its de...
Which is what I said from day one really ... Nintendo does their own thing away from the main stream...Nintendo has pretty much been a complimentary system for a while now... Must people who own a Wii also own a ps3 or xbox...
One thing is for certain in light of the ps4 and xbox one announcements... Nintendo can only rely on their games to differentiate themselves from the competition. The Tablet as of yet has not shown to be a game changing dynamic.. TVii is going to be l...
They are pretty much releasing a Windows Media PC with Voice controls... Isn't that already an option for people who build media PCs already?
I thought it was a decent reveal with some nice features.. They lived up to what they said which was providing us with the 360 experience but faster and with better graphics.
I was a little down about them not really showing more games... it was more about everything else it could do ...
I would imagine since the architecture for consoles is so similar to PC now it will be easier to port to PC. We might even see more console games on the PC from MSFT.
E3 is not in trouble lol ...
People think that Nintendo not having a stage show means Nintendo isnt going to be at E3.. Nintendo is going to have a booth at the show with an area to play games and talk to speactators.. The only difference is they are holding their conference for the press and analysts in a smaller venue not open to trade show floor...
The most important people are going to play and get the information they need at the closed door shows... The...
They will do exactly what Sony did..
Show controller
Talk Specs
Show GUI changes (windows integration)
Show key third party games
They will save Kinect 2 for E3 along with whatever 1st party studio games they have going...
I am going to go out on limb and say COD will only be higher texture / resolution version of the previous COD.. The engine will be the exact same as the previous iterations.
I agree that part can be improved and I hope they do that in the near future... Apple use to do this before the cloud with their music.. You had to repurchase everything you didnt back up somewhere.
One thing to take note of is that Nintendo hardware in general RARELY fails.. The system isnt like the Xbox that experienced a high rate of failure...
Also have you used Origin on the PC at all? I have had nothing but issues with their servers and server browser ...
How is he being honest and true? Several developers have said it is on par if not better than previous generation... Lets not forget it is running dirty ports of LATE GEN games that took both previous consoles an entire generation to achieve.. It is also outputting those images to two screens with less than HALF the power output.
Miiverse and the Eshop are both actually quite good and the online experience is just fine.. the user base needs to be larger for it to be on the sa...
I wonder if during e3 they will feature a price drop as well... So you can test upcoming games and then purchase a Wii U after.. Maybe an e3 promotion for the stores participating (Assuming it isnt a permanent price decrease)
What EA was trying to do to Nintendo was no different than what Microsoft was doing to computer manufactures back in the 90s like Dell and HP when they wanted them NOT to include Netscape on their hardware because it created competition for Internet Explorer...
How hard is this to understand EA wanted full control of content,pricing, and network for items operating on Origin.. If they had that these Eshop sales wouldn't exist as you see them now.. Not to mention EA would ...
You cant compare the sales of a portable to the sales of a console that is how I can explain it. How do you explain that the 3DS is CRUSHING the Vita in sales when the 3DS is considered the inferior product from a technology standpoint? I am not going to argue that the demographics of a Nintendo system are different than other consoles because we all know they are.
Third parties need to start pushing themselves to create content that will sell on the system rather than hoping...
How many copies of a port of Mass Effect and Blackops did they really expect to sell with a growing user base?
The Wii U has sold roughly 3.4M units... Games like Halo 3 and Blackops on the 360 sold roughly 11-13M worldwide LIFETIME.. that is just over 14% of an install base of 80M... Did they really expect to sell PORTS of existing games to 14% of the 3.4M Wii U base? Everyone knows that that COD is a STAPLE on the 360 and ps3 and if anyone was going to buy it to play with f...
The probably get a huge exclusivity cash sum from Nintendo to keep them on their systems. Studios look for the sure bet and guaranteed money rather taking the risk of an unsuccessful release.
They should be happy that people are buying a improved Wii version of the game... Im sure it didnt cost them much to uprez the graphics and add a few Wii U features to it.
99% of all gamers I know buy 2 or all 3 systems... People are going to buy a Wii U for the indie games and first party games and then you will go out and get a ps4 or 720 to play the exclusives (may be in any order)... Nintendo doesnt need to be first.. they need to be the cheapest which will drive first party game sales.. People keep acting like this hasnt been the case for a while... Nintendo is driven by cheap hardware and fantastic software.. If they get third party games it will be a bo...
EA is still a bit salty over the Origin / Nintendo network fiasco... It is a complete utter lie that EA is saying they cant run FB2 or FB3 on the WiiU when the Cry 3 engine can run on the WiiU just fine (According to devs)... Lets not forget that the WiiU ran a quick and dirty port of blockops without it even being optimized( On two screens might I add)...
Are you telling me FB2 and FB3 can run on the 360 and ps3 on 512 megs of ram yet it the Wii U cant run it with 2 gigs? Pe...
Well part of the issue is some investors or people think that not holding a huge presentation is a sign of weakness. I personally dont believe that at all. They know two new consoles are coming out and they are only going to talk about their first party release games. Why bother having a presentation about games you are ready to demo on the show floor.. The Wii U is the type of system that has to have people actually play for it to be understood. You cant just stand on a stage and SHOW people...
Regardless of whether they have a huge stage presence they will still be releasing Nintendo Direct the same day of the event so that the people from home will get the same experience... The press will have their own mini presentation of the games and the ability to play all the games with enough time to properly evaluate them... It sux that we wont see the huge presentation we are use to seeing with the crowds reaction to the announcements but I fail to see how this will be a negative thing.....
Where do you think the chips are coming from that are going into the PS4 and X1? Those are modified versions desktop chips that are already on the market which I might add arent that powerful when compared to other chips...
Where did you think OPEN GL and DIRECTX came from before they were on consoles?
What have PCs done??? Multicore... Multithread... revised fab processes, multi gpu / sli / crossfire... FROSTBITE / CRYTEK / UNREAL engines.... TECH 4/ 5 engin...
