yeshh for fox but has luminous run on anything? don't think so...

Well, if Square's other middle ware engines are anything to go by, it won't even be used.

no no, luminous is their actual next-gen engine

 

[HylianTom]

They should have the gears of war trilogy running on Wii U at GDC. What?

Are you high?
(and what do logs of wood take to get high? turpentine?)

 

[AceBandage]

Right, like Crystal was their engine this generation.
And it was used for squat outside of FF13 and 13-2.

The lighting portion of Luminous Engine is in use for FFVersusXIII. As far as I'm concerned, that's confirmation Luminous Engine will be on WiiU.

I've fallen off the wagon.

I'm not duckroll so I can't explain the details but their engine situation was a mess this time around, they never had a "real" engine. Luminous is their way of rectifying things next gen so they don't get these super long dev times and ridiculousness

you're right on that, forgot.

man, there's zero chance of anything directly wii u related at the E3 panel...but I'ma watch and hope anyways....*sigh*

 

[IsntChrisL]

I don't think we could find out that easily, and why would you assume such?

I was joking/exaggerating, but I do think that the black Wii probably sells better. Nintendo jumped on white tech being hot at the time with the Wii. That's no longer the case (thankfully). They should make the Wii U another color, IMO.

We can't help ourselves.

With my luck, when I turn my back or go to sleep for too long will be when major, major news breaks-out.

Please, for the love of Nayru, let it be silver or black!

Purple, duh.

 

[AceBandage]

Purple, duh.

And add a handle.

 

[HylianTom]

Purple, duh.

If it's a good shade of purple, I'd be down on Day 1; purple would fit-in well with my Mardi Gras decorations.

And add a handle.

And it should make baby rattle and squeaking noises when it boots-up.

E3 panel? Why do you keep going back and forth through time?

Spoiler

Or am I missing something painfully obvious?

Nothing will ever compare to the grace of the Gamecube:[

 

[AzaK]

I get a suspicion the buzz around Wii U is about the user-friendliness of their app store/e-shop and overall improvement of developer relations than it is to power or features. I think most people in the industry are pretty meh about the screen...nice to have but meh.

If devs are meh about the screen, then those devs are creatively dead.

 

[-Pyromaniac-]

I think the screen + nintendo and online capabilities is what is getting devs re-excited with nintendo.

 

[IceDoesntHelp]

OT, but I love that film.

 

[AceBandage]

I think it's Miyamoto promising to lend Mario to every franchise.

 

[Always-honest]

This Nintendo console might very well have the very best Third party Launch line up ever...

 

[HylianTom]

I think it's Miyamoto promising to lend Mario to every franchise.

That would be a lot of million-sellers..

 

[Log4Girlz]

There needs to be a pack in game. What should it be?

 

[Agent Ironside]

I agree with the screen for sure, even with its simplest implementation in a game, say a map, I think it will go a long way.

 

[AceBandage]

Call of Zeldatroid

 

[TheGreatMightyPoo]

Fully fleshed out Chase Mii online.

 

[Log4Girlz]

Call of Zeldatroid

Heavens to Zeldatroid, Microsoft and Sony won't have a chance!

Fully fleshed out Chase Mii online.

I would accept this, but man they need to beef up the graphics.

Love Plus U

 

[Door2Dawn]

And no one will buy them.

lol, whoops, meant GDC. I wish it was E3 :-(

 

[Grampa Simpson]

If Nintendo were to reveal exactly one exact part of the spec, what would you prefer it to be?

I'd prefer to know the amount of RAM.

 

[TheGreatMightyPoo]

What if the characters are really basic and simple in their cartoonish current form but the environments are lavish and have all kind of beautiful effects???

 

[bgassassin]

Whatever happened on the last page, I didn't do it.

ALU count.

 

[AceBandage]

I'd prefer to know the amount of RAM.

How many Gigajewels it takes.

 

[Big One]

Question: If we're getting any information from GDC, when will we get it?

 

[Rösti]

If Nintendo were to reveal exactly one exact part of the spec, what would you prefer it to be?

I'd prefer to know the amount of RAM.

I'd like to know the Rmax(GFs) of the system, of course referenced via a Linpack benchmark.

 

[Log4Girlz]

If Nintendo were to reveal exactly one exact part of the spec, what would you prefer it to be?

I'd prefer to know the amount of RAM.

I'm gonna have to go with ALU count as well

What if the characters are really basic and simple in their cartoonish current form but the environments are lavish and have all kind of beautiful effects???

Kinda like a high res Mario Galaxy? Because Chase Mii didn't even look as good as that Wii game. If you give me a Mario Galaxy in 1080 p and eye bleeding IQ (due to simplified graphics). HOLY SHIT.

 

[IceDoesntHelp]

How many cups of coffee it can brew.

Spoiler

The amount of ram.

Question: If we're getting any information from GDC, when will we get it?

I'd guess tomorrow since that's when the convention floor opens

 

[Rösti]

Yes, I think so too. North Hall (the expo hall) will open 10:00am PST. Gamasutra is reporting live, perhaps there will be some video feeds from the showfloor.

[HylianTom]

I know that media access is tighter than at E3, but will we get footage from the Nintendo booth? Or will it have to be clandestinely-shot footage?

(never mind.. Thanks, Rösti!)

Shaky cam at best.

RC Copter with a camera attached, that will solve all problems.

 

[TheGreatMightyPoo]

Shaky because of their disbelief of what they are seeing.

Just need an army of these.

Beedle-cam.

Hype!

Great.. GDC: the Cloverfield of gaming events!*

[mclem]

... Not sure how you came to that conclusion... That may be one of the most ignorant statements I have ever seen on gaf. Even if you know nothing about the series, what about Assassin's Creed screams Quick time event?

Well, there is that moment where you can fail to hug Leo, and feel shitty if you do.

 

[Plinko]

Beedle-cam.

We need a Beedle game. My kids would go nuts. They love Beedle.

I actually meant the Beetle item-cam but yeah, he's cool.
