Support NeoGAF

[schuelma]

Why? Why wouldn't there be a Wii U version?

Why would there be with sales what they are? Any 3rd party game announced right now is acting on faith in Nintendo.

 

[sleepykyo]

So does this qualify for the usual Capcom secret announcement "disappoint"?

I'm cautiously optimistic, since I forsee getting a Wii U sooner or later.

Prior to seeing KI footage, I'd type yes. But the footage has been decent and DH seems to acknowledge their past work has been awful. It is one of Capcom's better announcements of late.

 

[Stone Ocean]

Who fucking cares about his shoes.

He could be using dutch wooden shoes and it would still be fucking strider.

 

[FINALBOSS]

All licensed games with next to no budget and development time blow.

DH hate is kinda ridiculous in here. I understand caution, but folks haven't even seen the damn thing in motion and are skipping town over a name I don't think much GAFers have even played the games from.

DH hate is ridiculous?

Have you played any of their games? It's all justified.

 

[BY2K]

HEX engine presumably, Double Helix's proprietary system, along with sales.

I don't see the problem.

 

[ZenTzen]

"Fan demand made this possible!'

Not dissing Strider by any means, but was there really that much of a demand?

probably less than a new Megaman game

 

[Sojgat]

I don't know... I love me some Strider, but Double Helix involvement does not inspire confidence.

 

[AppleMIX]

Meh, ill wait for gamesplay before I judge. KI actually doesn't look that bad.

 

[El Sloth]

A game can be well designed but play like crap.

Then it's not well designed.

 

[Psycho_Mantis]

Whats a WU

 

[LiK]

hopefully Mega Man is next

 

[Nirolak]

I don't see the problem.

If they didn't build their engine to work on Wii U, Capcom would have to give them enough money to port it over. If Capcom feels the game won't sell enough on Wii U to justify that, they might not spend the money.

 

[vg260]

I have no experience with Double Helix's games. But I'd like to see what they can do with proper budget and time. Was hoping for PS4 launch, but better they take their time.

PC vs. PS4 is the question. Next gen's gonna be such a tough call for every purchase.

 

[SmokyDave]

Why? Why wouldn't there be a Wii U version?

Third party games sell like shit on the Wii U, so why would there be?

 

[Socreges]

Just depends on how heavily involved Double Helix is....

 

[Dahbomb]

Where the game play at?

 

[PorygonVandal]

Why would there be with sales what they are? Any 3rd party game announced right now is acting on faith in Nintendo.

Then they shouldn't release it for PS4/Xbox One

0 user base right now!

 

[TrueBlue]

Seems to sum up the thread quite well.

 

[Zonic]

Capcom Unity has a blog up.

True.

 

[Thunder Monkey]

ever play strider on nes?

It already exists on the NES.

I never did.

Now I've been educated.

 

[daffy]

Megaman Legends 3 was made both possible and impossible by fan demand :lol

Just thought that was funny.. crying

 

[iavi]

Double Helix on the come up. KI has been massively impressive in its showings, and this has the potential. Day one on Steam.

 

[enzo_gt]

DH hate is ridiculous?

Have you played any of their games? It's all justified.

Have you?

Have you considered the circumstances most of those games are made under?

Hate is ridiculous, caution is not.

 

[baphomet]

For all those complaining about the shoes, just be happy he doesn't look like this.

 

[Nirolak]

Capcom Unity has a blog up.

Okay if even Capcom isn't listing it I'm removing Wii U.

 

[NotLiquid]

Why would there be with sales what they are? Any 3rd party game announced right now is acting on faith in Nintendo.

Wii U Downloadable Titles have usually been rather good for the kind of platform they're on. Depending on how well DuckTales Remastered does it might be a really missed opportunity.

 

[Skab]

Where did they say the second line? Not at the panel.

Interview after evo somewhere. We also know that they are related to Street Fighter in some way.

Have you?

Have you considered the circumstances most of those games are made under?

Hate is ridiculous, caution is not.

Also this.

KI looks great, has had quite a lot of praise coming from people who have actually played it/were at Evo. I'm willing to give DH a chance.

 

[Sponge]

Boo to the people dissing Double Helix at the Xbox One conference.

Not only are they taking good care of KI, they're doing Strider some justice as well.

 

[Jinfash]

Is "Open World" supposed to be a joke?

 

[Mr. X]

Hey guys, have faith. Maybe this'll be Ninja Theory err Double Helix's big break to finally make a good game! Just look at Rocksteady and Batman AA.

[Pooya]

that map looks cool, I'm down for a metroidvania game.

I've played Front Mission Evolved, have you? I'm betting no.

 

[Danny Dudekisser]

Y'know, I wonder why Capcom didn't go with WayForward. That would have made sooooo much more sense.

 

[VariantX]

probably less than a new Megaman game

This is probably the sad truth that fan demand had nothing to do with the reasons why capcom canned legends 3 and other megaman projects.

 

[Village]

I wonder if school girl shoes = the new white hair

Seriously though, just make him have normal ninja shoes.

Nah Real ninja's wear nike's

 

[enzo_gt]

Capcom Unity has a blog up.

Videos are still private.

 

[BlazingDarkness]

Then it's not well designed.

Not really. Could be a case of those doing the 'grunt work' not delivering on the vision of the designer. Entirely possible.

[IdreamofHIME]

Double Helix is worrisome, but hopefully they're just the grunts putting the pieces together while proper Capcom boys are designing it.

 

[Zonic]

Trailer is up!

 

[Pie and Beans]

I have heard the "our top japanese men are deeply involved with this entirely western production!!" spiel from Capcom a little too many times. Hell, its even my tag.

I understand not wanting to dismiss something immediately upon it being announced, but really: how often does that happen? A shitty developer actually making something good for a change.

 

[See You Next Wednesday]

Double Helix, what games have they made?

*checks*

-Silent Hill Homecoming
-G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra 
-Green Lantern: Rise of the Manhunters
-Battleship
-Harker

 

[Nirolak]

Is "Open World" supposed to be a joke?

No it says that in one of the screenshots.

 

[def sim]

Is open world the new term for metroidvania? Anyway, I'm glad it's on PC.

 

[kuppy]

They're cheap?

Yeah, that has to be it. I don't want to be mean and say it will be bad because of them, so let's wait for some hands on gameplay and start beeing mean from that point on or not.

 

[Novocaine]

Never played any of the other games Double Helix made, so I'm impartial to that. Shit or awesome, I'll play this anyway, because metroidvania.

 

[Courage]

Didn't Capcom say they're trying to limit the outsourcing? Or did they say the opposite?
