Wii U Speculation thread IV: Photoshop rumors and image memes

Since Nintendo is so far behind with online this should be reflected with the site. I suggest tacky gifs everywhere, a guestbook and background midi music.

That'a a bummer. I wonder how much in the way of resources the geomoetry and light calculations take etc? Because 70 + 2x480 is still considerably under a 1080p screen in pure pixels.

As you said, engine isn't optimised. If we can, on an optimised engine, get pure graphical sex on 3 views I'll be happy.

One 1280x720 scene and two 854x480 scenes is 85% as many pixels as 1080p. But in that kind of situation were each screen is displaying a complex scene resolution isn't likely to be the main problem. As you say geometry, lighting ect will be a bigger issue. Its just a case of the developer splitting the systems resources 3 ways, or maybe 40/30/30 (since the TV is bigger and needs more detail) and it'll work. When a developer is working with an engine designed to run on one screen on 360 and they try to get that running in full quality (resolution lower on the controllers but everything else the same quality) on three screens on WIIU its not surprising that it wouldn't quite manage that.

I'd also be hopeful that an optimised engine could help significantly. Not just optimised for WiiU hardware but also optimised for multiple screens.
 
1. maybe some people post news here because they don't want that information posted on an official site, at least not directly.
2. a fact-checking website might be a good idea, but why not just make it for all video game news and rumors and not just nintendo? making it nintendo-only makes it easy to dismiss, especially if the purpose of the site is to post 'real' version of a story, or to counterbalance perceived bias coming from elsewhere in the media. it would be taken as seriously as the chartz website.

Yeah, I don't think anyone's settled on a name. It's just that we're all from this Nintendo Wii U thread, and that's what the people here tend to know the most about, so it makes sense it would have the Nintendo name in it. I wouldn't be against having a more "console agnostic" name or anything, not that my voice particularly matters in this endeavor. People are just spit-balling in here, and that's what they came up with so far. Anyway, if folks want to be creative and make a site, who am I to discourage them?
 
You could also just start a blog on blogspot and link the domain (nintendoworldnews) to the blog. Should be easier that way. You can then, for the time being, develop a proper page in the background while using the blog. The blog also allows for more than one person to contribute. You just need to invite people like on Google Docs.
 
Curious, where there any Xbox 360 or PlayStation 3 games that dramatically increased the anti-aliasing, framerate, etc. when a game was being output in standard definition?

....

Anyone have any idea about this? I'm wondering if some ambitious Wii U developers might attempt to run their game in an "overclock mode" when the user is paying with the tablet by itself. I'd think the lesser resolution coud free up enough resources to boost the image quality.
 
Hi everyone!!

As we know darksiders II has moved its release date into August this year and there can be speculation that its about a possible Wii U release in that time also.

What would be interesting is if someone could find out when IBM plans to deliver the first chips for Wii U (when they start massproduction)

IIRC with the Wii it was 2 months prior the WW release of the console.

So someone have any relation with an IBM employee??

I don't think that should really be seen as any indication of the Wii U launch date, I mean Ninja Gaiden III is already out and will also come to Wii U.

Maybe yes, maybe not...

The relation between Nintendo and THQ is not that bad, if not to say its probably really good.

Take for excample Eric Barker, Studio Marketing Manager at THQ he was before Wii Marketing Specialist bei Nintendo of America.

Maybe he has talked with his "old friends" at Nintendo and they figured out "Hey lets put our release of game and Hardware together!!"

I know thats all speculation, but isnt that thread about that??


Edit: But what would be really interesting is the IBM thing cos it will be a good indicator of the release imo!!

Sure, I just personally don't see Wii U releasing before November, but really who knows at this point, right?
 
Yup.
This plus lackluster online services would be the biggest flaws of the WiiU, even if underpowered. Local multi was the reason the Wii was so big. It is something you can't really replicate with a phone or portable.

so basically your saying the if the Wii U lacks the one thing that has all but killed off or i should say disinterested people from local multiplayer AND doesn't have local multiplayer (which it will; i don't know why your saying it won't nothing has been confirmed that it won't use more than one Upad; even then, it'll still be able to use 4 Wiimotes and a Upad) that it's totally screwed.
 
could you maybe move the fansite discussion to a seperate topic in the community forum? I don't want to offend you but it was already hard enough to follow the thread to get all the Wii U rumors / news. now for me who just wants to do this, it gets kind of pointless...
 
Next week will be interesting, I think we will hear more about Nintendo Online, new 3DS games announced and a vague Wii U info to generate hype.

There's no news, and no rumours with decent sources. That's why the thread has gone haywire.

You know the point of the website would be to put all Wii U news in one place that is accessible, unbiased and sensible in its reporting, right? So it would maybe make it easier for you...
 
Name change alert, WiiU is going to be called WiiDoomed
I like it! Nintendo's profits are directly proportional to the degree that it is declared doomed, so let's go crazy with that shit!

You people are insane.

I'd be perfectly willing to contribute
Yes. Yes we are.

And count me in as wanting to help. I'd love to do a weekly or monthly column about gaming media douchebaggery, please. Being able to call-out specific instances over time and building a library of these things would be a worthwhile endeavour. I'd probably try to strike a Colbert/Stewart-like tone - serious, but with plenty of "immature" dick and fart jokes included. :)

for me it rather looks like the website would be a place of complete madness ;)
it's just a anooying to click through 10 new pages without any relevant new rumor / information...
but well. I guess it's just 6 weeks to go.
 
On a serious note... why dont companies start releasing things over summer? I mean kids don't have anything to do over the summer, there like zombies starving for brains.


MWA HA HA.. MY 2ND FIRST POST, MY PLAN FOR WORLD DOMINATION IS SUCCEEDING

If there were any worthwhile rumours going around the thread would be discussing them instead.

You're right, it would devolve quite quickly, but at least it would be a lot of fun :). Just remember that there likely won't be any new information for now anyway, at least none reliable, and if there was anything of note you would see people talking about it, there would most likely be a separate thread as well. And yeah, only 6 weeks now, time certainly has gone quickly...

This is a question that gaming scientists have pondered for centuries. Imagine Beyond Good & Evil, for instance, being released in a week where there was nothing else coming out - instead of reality, where BG&E was released in the middle of a horribly crowded time period.

Oh, what may have been..
