I know this isn't news but it's a shame that so early in the new generation we're already seeing games that are maxed out on PC but only "nearly maxed out" on consoles. Crysis was the game to really break the cycle last-gen but it came out after the generation had been going on for 2 years.
I want console gaming to be superior other than being plug-n-play.
Wow. I'm surprised they are not aware Mass Effect 3 Wii U didn't sell poorly because it was on a "console for Kids IPs" but because Mass Effect 3 on Wii U was released on a console that barely had any install base, almost every Mass Effect fan and newcomers already played the game a year prior or half a year prior and Wii U was not better than the Xbox 360 or PC versions at all... and aside from that many avoided the game when they realised it had an awful ending, which can ...
Grab controls are no longer affected by damage percentage... in other words, this got streamlined and "more accessible to non-hardcore players" as I understand it.
I hate it already. Grab will be so useless.
Ugh... god no. It's those awful HD sprites from the IOS versions :(
Now I'm not denying SM3DW is their most advanced game graphically and it looks great, but the character models for Mario and the gang all have those creamy shine outlines that make them look like they're made of goop or something. Am I the only one who's still more wowed by the graphics of Wii's Super Mario Galaxy?
@Concertoine: Bayonetta is confirmed to be 720p60fps and MK8 as well. That's wrong information you have there. WWHD is 1080p though.
Yes, and my favorite Wii games still look dang gorgeous but there's no denying they still look awful compared to all the 720p games on PS3 simply because 480p is so grainy on HDTVs. 720p is only a problem because in a year people are gonna get 4K TVs in their family's living room and even 1080p will look rather low-res.
Lame argument. It could be Donkey Kong but with modern-day CGI Pixar graphics as well and that would be VERY demanding.
Problem is that this is a game running on the age-old Metroid Prime engine, tweaked for DKCR and now for Tropical Freeze. It looks embarassingly 'old' in screenshots at times and I agree, it's weird they couldn't support full 1080p but it's about optimizations and apparently they didn't give 60fps in 1080p, so naturally they went for ...
Man, I wish they'd 'valve'd' us and didn't ever make ME3 in the first place. Their fanbase has been divided completely and some are still in denial... I miss back when ME2 was the shidd. I know people give it flack for having stupidity and a bad plot but I loved it, made me look up to Bioware as a game developer, but ME3 just shat all over that.
Don't get me wrong, ME3's ending broke my heart and left me feeling really empty because it was such a rushed writing-job where they missed the most important opportunity in the series. I felt cheated, I was vocal and angry but despite all the support I gave to 'retakers' I was pissed because of all the "what could've beens" and no rectification would ever change the fact that people had seen the original awful ending in the first place. I've lost faith in Bi...
Hate to say it, but Nintendo's CEO is so full of shit... So many empty promises. We should've had Miiverse on smartphones a year ago, confirming they'll be doing that won't change a thing, contrary to what he said the other day, that they'd be changing their business structure. He's gonna make Nintendo do the same thing they've been doing for the past couple of years yet again.
Prease understand!
Unfortunately I don't think you can speak for everybody and in March the first two major title of a great PS4 year will be out, Infamous Second Son and the new prologue to Metal Gear Solid 5. I think despite of the core fanbase not everyone will be buying Wii U later this year for either Smash Bros or Mario Kart or Donkey Kong. I won't, because they haven't done enough to change either of those titles fundamentally compared to their previous entries. Mario Kart stopped being fun o...
The word "hack" keeps popping up in my head every time I hear an analyst use the "my child wouldn't want..." argument.
Virtual Console is the reason I keep resorting to unendorsed emulators and ROMs on my PC and Smartphone. I really like the crispness and smoothness of playing VC gameboy games on the 3DS but I don't care when I have to wait several years or forever just to play certain games.
I don't really think Nintendo would be "in trouble" if it wasn't for the smart-phone market, because honestly the Wii U is looking more like it's gonna be a Gamecube 2.0 sales-wise than a Dreamcast compared to Sony and MS's consoles.
It would make the Wii U look like a huge disaster in retrospect, but anything that makes Nintendo go truly next-gen within the next few years would be so amazing.
Or more to the point. MGS has been on PS mostly, so naturally.
IMO it seems like it's 1080P PS4 and 720p One
To be quite frank, I know a number of excellent games back in the day that were 60fps on Xbox and Gamecube but 30fps on PS2, but I still owned a PS2 and loved every game on it. It also succeeded as the best system despite of being the worst one technically.
It's all about having the games.
