I just thought it looked relaxing and pretty, like Journey meets Myst. It was the game I was looking forward to the most, although, I don't know why Sony would pay for timed exclusivity... Who would buy a PS4 to play The Witness a couple months early?
What?? Why is this game a timed exclusive? Since this was announced for PC like two years ago I just assumed it was multiplat on every system. Stupid moneyhats.
I'm sure it was a combination of price drop + games. Even if they drop the price of the Wii U tomorrow, why would anyone buy it? ZombiU? The Wii U needs games.
I don't think anyone can say the Wii U is dead until it gets some good games and still doesn't sell. For now I will just patiently wait while I use my Wii U as my dedicated youtube player.
"Fire? I was born of this!" Sorry, that reminded me of a line from Constantine.
Isn't the PS3 still like $300 for some reason? Isn't that the same price as the cheap Wii U? The Wii U needs GAMES, not a price drop.
Edit: Actually the cheapest PS3 I can find is the Uncharted bundle for $270.
I half agree but I'm waiting to see how much effort they put into that Watch Dogs port. If they wow me with hacking using the gamepad I might forgive them.
Especially if there's a big price difference. That 8gigs of GDDR5 ram ain't cheap.
Nintendo is insane. There are so many games I would buy. That's free money!
They and Phantom Hourglass are the only Zeldas I've never played. I'll definitely pick them up.
Wow... that article was way off. But reading it, it sounds like it makes sense. Of course his biggest point is "High tech! More power!" which it seems the masses have never cared about ever since forever (and ever). Still he was right about the launch games being good and plentiful, just not many games came after that. All it really takes is one crazy system seller to really turn it around, so who knows... Predicting the future is hard.
Sucks man. I used to love the 1Up podcast back in the day.
This industry... what the f*** is happening? Developers, news sites, all going down. I'm scared for my favorite hobby and I'm scared for the people to whom gaming isn't just a hobby, but a way to put food on the table; the developers that sleep under their desks during crunch time and the journalists who keep us informed on the big AAAs and the small indies.
Do you think this industry wil...
Not to be a negative nancy but this was the worst article I've ever read. No one thinks the Wii U can compete graphically with the PS4 any more than the PS3 can. The PS4 has amazing and expensive tech designed for graphical power. The Wii U is nearly the opposite and is designed for low cost / low power consumption with its gimmick being lagless streaming to the gamepad.
You might as well compare my ability to drive a manual transmission car to a baby's. I'll kick...
Very good.
I'm curious as to how the Wii U version of Watch Dogs will compare to the 360 and PS3's.
$529... That's a bit more pricey than I expected...
@profgerbik
C'mon, of course it's for the PS4 reveal. What else could it possibly be?
Forsooth!
?_?
Gta doesn't have co-op but it does have multiplayer. I haven't tried it but I'd assume multiplayer in a sandbox game would be a blast.
Wii U gam... what? I've never heard of those.
(I kid! I kid!)
@doublejj
If Nintendo were a race, I'd call you racist.
