That seems reasonable. I don't really see how 1080p could make such a simplistically styled game look any better anyway. It's like saying an iPad screen with 4K resolution will look significantly better than an iPad with a 1080p screen... it honestly won't. Higher resolutions benefit bigger screens primarily, just as higher resolutions are better for games with extreme realism and detail.
There probably was an essence of general oversight. Whoever designed the demo clearly did not have part in the final product. Maybe Gearbox's outsourcing led to just that and no one fully kept track of it.
The development of this game has apparently been sloppy enough to justify such a theory. I really would not put it past them at this point.
Correction; the matter is good for 360/PS3 gamers. I don't see how the delay in particular was a positive thing for Wii U owners who, you know, also count as gamers. But the game going multiplat, that in of itself is a good thing. Everything else, such as the delay and releasing it in the same month as GTAV and Wind Waker Reborn... not so much.
@Army of Darkness
Looking at the sales figures I think that's because the core gamers ditched Nintendo during the N64 and GCN eras.
Also Need for Speed on Wii U looks more like the PC build than the 360/PS3 versions, so no, not all multiplatform games are guaranteed to be the same.
I think the devs are working as hard as they can with the crap thrown at them. Frankly I think they're amazing people who managed to give the fans SOMETHING worthwhile instead of allowing the publisher to fling more crap at the fans.
I don't blame you at all for saying you don't want to support the game. That's completely your choice and you're certainly entitled to that choice. But this decision makes me want to support the game, if only so I can support ...
Completely ignoring the fact that House of the Dead Overkill did alright on the Wii, No More Heroes and NMH2 sold better on the Wii than the PS3, The Conduit was a fairly successful Wii game and Muramasa: The Demon Blade sold more on the Wii in America than in Japan.
Also your point about Fire Emblem is completely idiotic. The game was released on a limited supply. Why else would it be sold out in a variety of Gamestops across the States? And you're saying it can't br...
"Good thing they always have their exclusives that fans loyally buy to keep them afloat cuz theyd be dead w/o them.."
That doesn't make any sense! What would ANY console manufacturer be without their exclusives? If there were no exclusives to attract buyers, everyone would just play games on their computers or smartphones.
Hey look at it this way, Ubisoft and their lawyers may have been scumbags and made a stupid move that effectively screwed over their Wii U base, but look at what the developers accomplished just for the fans! This is a really cool way to compensate fans and it's free no less. I think the devs in particular are more deserving of fan support than Ubisoft deserves to lose it.
So by your logic, it doesn't matter what the game does differently, it's not worth checking out simply because it has zombies in it?
I wouldn't exactly say Resident Evil, Dead Rising, Left 4 Dead, ZombiU and TellTale's The Walking Dead are all the same game, dude. They all have zombies, sure; but they all provide players with different ways to deal with hordes.
I'm not out to convince anyone of anything man. I'm here to simply express myself and have some fun debating with others, same with anyone on an online forum. But I appreciate the vote of confidence regardless.
Ten bucks says this article gets nowhere near half the buzz all of this week's negative articles have gotten.
"I'll be honest - I favor Nintendo over the other companies, though I'll never belittle the competition, 'just cause.'"
^This. I've never believed in the concept of hating on something I don't necessarily have as much interest in. I've criticized products from my favorites as well as other publishers/manufactu...
What are you getting at? I've openly said in the past that the Vita is not a failure either by any stretch of the term, but people keep labeling the Wii U as such without so much as acknowledging the Vita's even lower performance in sales.
The PS3 selling slowly is due to the price, yes. But the economy was stronger then. The Wii U is currently the most expensive HD console on the market and has a rather small game library (not to mention how the 360 and PS3 are both ...
Ancel, you may never read this but you and your team of talented dudes are awesome. It may not be the full game, but this is much better compensation than another demo.
Trolls bashing Nintendo products and fans on N4G. What else is new.
EDIT: Obligatory disagrees. Guess some folks can't handle the truth. Nothing really new about that either.
@SilentNegotiator
You know, instead of taking my words out of context maybe you can learn some reading comprehension. I didn't say anything positive or even all that defensive about lacking DVD playback, I said that the forefront of a console is playing games and that if I really need a DVD player I can easily get one.
Seriously, just because you don't agree with what I'm saying doesn't mean you have to be obnoxious.
EDIT: I&#...
When have Nintendo "fanboys" hated Ubisoft? Are you talking about the Rayman Legends delay? The one that even pissed off the development team? That even non-Nintendo fans agreed was a shady move on Ubisoft's part?
I was never angry at Ubisoft until after they did that, and even then, I don't exactly plan on boycotting or hating on the company. I'm not as enthusiastic over Rayman but that has little bearing over their other work (assuming it's handled...
The whole point of the game is using the cell phone device to hack into things, right? You could add some functionality on the gamepad screen to make that the player's hacking cell. At least that's what I would assume.
@nukeitall
I would never play an older game with the 360's cruddy d-pad for one thing. This is great for me since I play a number of 2D games on my computer now and again.

Yes, it's so obsolete that it produced a port that looks better than its PS3/360 counterparts, closer to the PC version in fact.
It's a fun little thing. Hopefully they can update and do more with it.
