P.D: Sorry for doubleposting, but , are there any GOOD news that you or ideaman can TELL us?

You call that a double post?
Anyway, Ideaman apparently has something to tell us if GDC is a flop.

So is Nintendo doomed for the 1000th time now?

This is how I see it, if people say Nintendo isn't doomed, Nintendo will be doomed. Nintendo lives on the fumes of "Nintendo is doomed"

Damn, this is gold

Dr Forester is the greatest.
Was that the one that broke Photobucket or was it the Fifth Element one?

IF?!

 

[GameplayWhore]

yup XD

We obviously have good potential here for an improved unit of measure for performance. "N times the Xbox 360" is too old hat. Now, we can say "Supported by Unreal Engine N".

So, Xbox 360 is supported by UE3.0, and the Super Xbox will be supported by UE4.0. I think that it is reasonable to assume that Wii U will reach Unreal Engine 3.8 levels of power.

So, Epic on the Wii U, hand-in-hand with Nintendo* ?

The games that influenced our influential gamedesigners

Cliff Bleszinski, The Legend of Zelda

Nothing is more personal for me than The Legend of Zelda.

I fell in love with Nintendo. This was my first true love.

I was teased at school a little bit. I was chased off the bus and called Nintendo Boy. It kind of sucked back then, but my life is fucking awesome now, and they can just go on with their lame lives.

I don't know if you recall the ad, it was this guy with a black turtleneck...my friends and I are sitting there...like, really? You're going to take me from Mario to this? It was really a bad representation of what this game is.

Then I learned about the cartridge, and that it was gold. Our minds were blown...that was my first lesson in branding.

Then I found the manual. I didn't have the game yet...and my friend showed up one day with the manual...I still to this day remember the scent of that thing as I opened it.

There's a compass and a map and a boomerang and bows and arrows...this was all new territory for me!

It ignited my senses.

*Cliff is the famous designer from Epic. Well, he told several times that Miyamoto influenced him a lot, and it didn't translate in an Epic super support of Big N consoles.

But this year, from the comments at E3 2011, water meet fish, UE demonstrations behind closed doors, etc, etc, we can only hope

Hey now, GDC ain't over yet (;

Yeah, nothing came out of GDC, and nothing will. Pack up your bags

I think the Element one was posted everywhere though, and it was the straw that broke PB's back.

It's not though. There were zero huge announcements. A few EA games got announced and that's it.

I look forward to Bono's keynote though.

I think it was Crytek that created the Wii U's garden demo. If you watch Crytek's new CryEngine 3 video demo you will notice a very familiar garden scene with all the sakura trees in it. The scene looked very similar to Nintendo's earlier garden demo.

Heh, I'm a junior yet I have contributed to Gaf's Lexicon, I'm so happy

Wait, Nintendo's licensing of that middleware for (free?) use by third party developers wasn't huge? From what people were saying about how such software is generally treated by console makers, it seemed pretty substantial at least.

That's not from GDC though..

 

[GameplayWhore]

Ah, okay. I got the impression that it was targeted in large part towards developers at the conference due to its timing.

edit: And because the press release was marked as being from San Francisco, which is where the GDC is and not usually (to my knowledge) where Nintendo originates their press releases.

One day, we'll know

I was just saying that, from afar, there are elements that are converging to the hypothesis that these two companies have closer ties than before. The fact that a key designer is tirelessly citing Nintendo as its biggest influence must have an impact somewhere, sometimes. Like "ok, i'm a N-Boy, i wasn't able to express my creativity in their previous hardware because of this & that, now it's better, so it's time to jump on the ship". A mix of speculation & wishful thinking, with eyes directed upon UE4

We've always known that Cliff is a huge Nintendo geek.
It's Mark that's the problem.

I thought the same thing when I saw that video. But it's hard to tell.

I was so damn surprised when Cliff tweeted about wanting a 3DS. I thought this was a joke at first.

Look again, they're not very similar at all, except for the setting of course.

Can you dudes believe it? We will finally get a HD Nintendo console.

Yeah i was referring to its former statements about his Miyamoto influences. But Rein seems to be less harsh than before also. It doesn't translate on a "we'll do all we can to make UE4 available on Wii U, in parternship with Nintendo" though.

The future will tell.

 

[Nibel]

I will eat crow if UE4 will be on Wii U. But it will taste amazing.

 

[Log4Girlz]

Wii U can totally play UE4, but only on the smaller, lower-res screen

 

[IceDoesntHelp]

Can you dudes believe it? We will finally get a HD Nintendo console.

No, its not gonna happen man. Wii U is as powerful as the Atari 2600

Someone tell him to revive Dare to Dream on Wii U.

 

[andthebeatgoeson]

Not being able to run UE4 will NOT have the same affect that not being able to run UE3 on the Wii had, so I really don't see how it would be the "same mistake". The discrepancy between UE3 and UE4 will be next to nothing compared to UE2 and UE3.

Also, keep in mind, even without UE4, UE3 can (and will) be modified with UE4 features much like Irrational did with Bioshock and UE2.

Just seems like it could have the same effect of marginalizing Nintendo to a place of not getting strong support. I don't want half the 3rd party games available, I want all of them. This gen has shown me that 3rd party games can be a ton of surprising fun (bioshock, batman, dead space). This gen may be the first where I can give up the other consoles and have good HD fun since the N64/PS1 era as the other guys aren't focused on good first party titles.

Yeah! Thanks for bringing that up again. And he is right: it's Nintendo. They always have something magical.

Cliff is a cool dude. Did Epic actually ever did something for a Nintendo console?

 

[Sadist]

YES YES

 

[BY2K]

 

[Anth0ny]

amazing

 

[HylianTom]

Indeed, Cliff is a cool dude. But for all his talk talk talk about how much he loooves Nintendo, we surely haven't seen him doing much for their consoles lately. You'd think his opinion weighed more there.

I'm bored thanks to Nintendo. I'm contemplating changing my avatar.

I played the Shareware version!

I don't remember much about it except it being kinda strange and mostly interesting, and that it had a very limited, Windows 3.1-style color pallette.

 

[Log4Girlz]

Ok show of hands, who wants a Zelda game with a huge, densely packed over-world? I can just imagine going to Hyrule field on Epona, with grass swaying everywhere...seeing a glint in the horizon and galloping in that direction to explore ancient ruins.

*sigh*
