20gigs. Crytek saved.
Nintendo ON confirmed!?
Because it's a feverish dream.
You're quite the optimist. From what I can tell, a bunch of bananas will be the controller.

Nintendo fans have it rought.
as usual.
They have been megatonned for the last 15 years. nothing happens.
wii looks more and more like wii did in 06 except for the fact that wiiu does not look all that hot with the casuals.
left is the nintendo fan. who will be megatonned .
It will be interesting to see how the wiiu stacks upp against hardware that is 15 times more powerful.
interesting indeed.

It's both terrible and hilarious, if true. Holy crap, that sounds like worse power than I could have ever imagined. 1.5x times GPU and around the same CPU vs. 7 year old hardware. Is this real life? This is exactly the Wii all over again. I don't think consumers are going to flock to it in the same fashion as the tablet isn't as interesting and fresh in terms of new tech as the Wiimote was.
By the way, I read the first 2-3 pages + the last page. What made the thread 27 pages long? Was there a meltdown in there somewhere? Any kinda summary would be appreciated, thanks.
I've been megatonned from behind so many times now. It's starting to hurt.
Nintendo hasn't been to keen on taking ideas from others *cough*, but yes that's the one.

You know what would be awesome for huge threads like this? a wiki post on the first page people can edit a summary and stuff. I've seen that on CAG and another foru i forget
didn't say it was fact
even said "if true". Don't be so defensive over nothing

we're up to 15 times more powerful now?
I wish I knew, then his posts might start to make a little sense. He's also gone from 10x to 15x lol.

don't get me wrong, i'd love the PS4 to be 15 times more powerful than the Wii U, even at $600. it's just clearly not going to happen.
If you haven't been megatonned from behind then you're not a true gamer.
How can something that have huge sell can be a commercial failure ?
when something is making losses to the company who produces is a commercial failure.
Maybe at the end of his lifecycle will have produced big protifs, not now.
And I don't think will sell as the ds, maybe half.

megaton = great surprise of unthinkable magnitude.
megatonned = crashing in to the wall of reality at 120km/h

Ha ha... At least you're providing us with quality entertainment.
I still would like to know how Sony/MS's consoles will be 10-15x the Wii U. Please, explain, I'm dying to know!

just about any off the shelf gpu is 10 times more powerful than xenos.

lets try to get some perspective.
the Wii had 88 megs of ram to the 360's 512. a 5.8 times difference.
the Wii had a single core processor rumoured to be clocked at 729 MHz, to the 360's three core multithreaded 3.2 GHz processor. three times the cores, each core running 4.4 times faster.
you are NOT going to see similar differences between the Wii U and the next Xbox or PS4.

The jump between Wii U and PS4/720 won't be as huge, correct, but it still doesn't mean Wii U will get software that's developed for PS4/720.

wow I knew about the 88 megs (laughable) but didn't realize the cpu was so slow, and yet they kinda got COD to kinda work on that.

No it will be just as huge. if not bigger.
For the simple reason that this gen has been going on for longer.

Man, you're in for quite the surprise.
Phew, glad someone here figured out the final specs for the PS4/720. I was worried for a second.

Lol. At best, PS4 will have twice Wii U RAM. At best.
At best, and I'm saying At best, it will be 5x times Wii U's power.

I can't see games like Watch_Dogs and Star Wars 1313 running on this thing. How could Nintendo think this was a good idea (if true) after what happened with the 3rd-party situation this gen...

correction, the cpu will be 15x more powerful. the gpu (if my maths are correct) will be ~22.5x more powerful.
back to reality now; I think some people will be heavily disappointed with the (lack of) power in "next-gen" consoles. that applies to all three major players.

oh, i know. i'm expecting something like 4 times as powerful as a sensible estimate, and my gut feeling tells me Wii U isn't going to be powerful enough to do the full fat UE4 with real time GI.

Yeah, Nintendo sucks. They should have gone with a 599 USD console.
Do you know actually how much it cost to run Watch Dogs or Star Wars 1313 as we saw them ?
Even if this was true, how much would these cost? I get the feeling it would cost a little too much to put into a console.
Now, what about the rest of the system? You're expecting 15GB of RAM? And a CPU with 10x the grunt of Cell? And all this put together with a next gen Kinect? And how much do you expect this hypothetical system to cost? Less than $600 or more?

the Xbox 360 will be able to run Watch_Dogs, so the Wii U will be able to also. naturally neither version will look as good as the PC version we saw at E3.
The vultures have arrived to pick at the carcass. I saw a big, blue one fly by not long ago.

I thought the platforms weren't announced yet? Like they were being shady about it?
I can't imagine Ubi putting that much extra effort into the PC version to make it look that good when they've never gone that far with previous multi-platform ports this gen. Why start now
Wish i could have been one of the lions but Diablo 3 has consumed my life
I expect the Wii U to run UE4 at it's minimum, while PS4/720 will be somewhere in the middle and PC, of course, running UE4 at max.
They said PS3/360/PC, but that can change. Also, it probably won't look like what we saw for the PS3/360, if it does come out for those consoles.
None of it was from live footage though, but from trailes and prerecorded gameplay footage captured and edited by a bunch of different teams. Which makes the analysis pretty much completely useless. Some teams may have just set the capture to 30 fps, other may not even have captured from actual hardware. We just don't know. Also the games are not finnished

well, if you're gearing up for next gen development, that'd be one reason to want to start getting to grips with DX11 level stuff, and compute shaders and the rest of it. honestly, i don't know why they'd start now.
i don't know why Rockstar amped up their PC support with Max Payne 3 either, just hope such things continue.
Legends will be 60 fps. I'm certain of that.
Playstation Vita doesn't sell good at all as well. So gaming as a whole is in decline. Or make that: people have less money to spend on new consoles/don't see the point in new consoles that cost much.
Which means if PS4/720 cost a lot, they will sell really badly. Which also means if Wii U is priced somewhat low, it will still sell/sell a lot better than the other new consoles.

None of us actually know all the details about how the Wii U and the PS4/720 will compare at this point, so having such a heated discussion about it seems pointless.
All we can do is make a guess based on current rumors/info.

I don't think that PS4/720 will sell worse than what they have already because I imagine most of the owners of those consoles are "core" gamers. And core gamers will find a way to buy it. Nintendo on the other hand won't necessarily hit 100m Wii U's because I do wonder if a lot of their Wii audience has moved to iOS and/or really doesn't care anymore for another console with peripherals that they use every now and then.

lol. The meltdown is hilarious.
As I said in that thread, I fully expect the UE4 Lite version to be used on Wii U. I don't consider it likely at all that it'll be able to run the full featured version.
Umm, in my language (English) megatonned would mean, I received a megaton. That most certainly didn't happen. Unless we agree that we "received a megaton of mediocrity".
