Hopefully Nintendo. Or rather some people at Nintendo.Maybe. Maybe not.
Who knows anything at this point?!

Just remember that LCGeek said the CPU was 15-30% above the XB1 CPU which means the GPU would have to at least match that performance bump. At minimum, it's going to be above PS4 specs.
Ah ok, makes sense.I don't think it's a worry, as Nintendo and people can make certain games for Wii U no problem. The larger the power envelope the better/easier it will be for development and titles all around, though; not just third-parties.
Indeed. It would be nice though to hear from those sources close to Nintendo what exactly they mean by "still good".
Right now this thread is mostly people shaming imaginary people for being too hyped lol. I think the majority expected this.

If Zelda could be 60 they'd make it 60. WW and TP are likely just an excuse since they have ocassuonal drops, but if Kojima could do it on 5 platforms I'd hope the Zelda team can
I get the feeling I'll be banned when NX is revealed even though I claimed none of this nothing more than rumors from people within the industry.
The clock is ticking down.
Touché lolBut I thought Nintendo "has no fucking clue what they are doing".
There are dozens of different dev-kits of the NX out there in the wild and just one is real. DOZENS!
You may want to ask the mods about that now just in caseI get the feeling I'll be banned when NX is revealed even though I claimed none of this nothing more than rumors from people within the industry.

Not necessarilly, because the CPU was the bottleneck with PS4. So it was number one on the list to improve.
It did have some DX10 features though. I just don't see something similar happening here unless Nintendo saw something that they really wanted.
The only way I'd be deeply disappointed in NX's hardware is if Zelda NX isn't at least 1080p/30fps.
Would appreciate 1080p/60fps more, tho
Calm the fuck down dude. Im sure someone will post your tweets on GAF when you are gone.
I was just pointing out this type of thing has happened in the console space before.

Relax. You'd have already been gone by now.I get the feeling I'll be banned when NX is revealed even though I claimed none of this nothing more than rumors from people within the industry.

I laughed at this more than I should have.Calm the fuck down dude. Im sure someone will post your tweets on GAF when you are gone.
HehCalm the fuck down dude. Im sure someone will post your tweets on GAF when you are gone.
So I was pretty much right on the money. The gimmick doesn't sound very Nintendo-like. And I still expect PS4 specs at $299.
I don't know how anyone complains if this ends up happening.
K, but what's the gimmick? I missed it I think. I'm fine with the specs though.So I was pretty much right on the money. The gimmick doesn't sound very Nintendo-like. And I still expect PS4 specs at $299.
What is considered to be "good" though?I liked 10k's rumors better
this good specs thing is eh meh
You reported it as rumors and you at least made an attempt to get it run by the mods. I don't think you did anything wrong here. You just reported what you heard.
People's expectations are going to go crazy no matter what. It's the hype cycle of pretty much every console release. Hell, it took months for people to realize that the CPU in the PS4 and XB1 was a bit of a dumpster fire even after it was revealed. Gamers are prone to believe that console manufacturers and AMD have found a way to circumvent the laws of physics, economics, and thermodynamics until proven otherwise with shitty framerates.
I don't know how anyone complains if this ends up happening.
We know history and history has taught us that Nintendo dropped the ball two times before with the 3DS and Wii U in terms of delivering on expectations of a high powered platform and third party support.

It should be noted that 2x PS4 would be close to 4TFLOPS, so it is best for someone to shut that thought down.
Undoubtedly true, but PS4's specs aren't bad for 1080p aside from the CPU, which is sounds like Nintendo is improving upon.
Why though? For comparison, the Wii U is 352 GFLOPS, compared to the 360 at 77 and the PS3 and 230. So going just by flops it's 4.57x the 360 and 1.52x the PS3. And given what that actual FLOP difference comes to there's no reason 2x the PS4 is out of the question
No, that's not how it works. It means with the new architecture, API, optimizations and higher specs the game could end up doing twice as many things on the screen (double the framerate, or more AA, more particles, longer draw distance, better texture and shadow resolutions, etc.) Nintendo could put out a 2TFLOPS GPU at 14nm and still get 2x the performance of the stock ps4.What is considered to be "good" though?

You clearly haven't been paying attention. People think it'll be a repeat of Wii U if it doesn't match or beat PS4k. It's largely due to the fact that people are expecting a half-gen leap with that instead of something reasonable though.

Emily didn't say otherwise. Just not some of the specifics mentioned
That can't be right lol. Oh wow just looked it up. It looks like another source said 115 though.
Zelda NX will be 1080/30fps.
That's about the only thing I'm confident about these days.
30 fps is fine for zelda regardless.

Edit: I'm going to redo this. I don't think the numbers I looked up were accurate at all now that I'm looking back at them lol

If NX falls short on power Microsoft will probably be able to make a big power gap to the competitors with a new gen console relatively soon if they want to. I'm just wondering if they have the balls to go straight to Xbox Two or whatever in 2017/2018. I just wonder if they are able to keep full BC with Xbox One games without it being an issue.
115? Pretty sure that isn't right either.
IIRC the 360 GPU was capable of about 240 GFLOPS and the PS3 GPU was about 220 GFLOPs.
You were probably looking at the CPU. Xenos is a 240 GFLOP chip. Also, Wii U might have been half of what you said, since there was debate over if it had 320SPs or 160SPs.
I personally feel everything should be 60 FPS. That's just how I like 'em. If there's performance room for it, I want Zelda NX to be 1080p/60.

http://www.techpowerup.com/gpudb/1682/rsx-reality-synthesizer - 400, lol. Doesn't remotely reflect actual performance.
I don't think we'll ever see a 60 FPS 3D console Zelda.
I haven't really been reading them. Something about the NX will have Polarium. That game was great on DS so I'm really glad the NX will have it. All they have to do is announce that and I will not be disappointed.
So basically no gamepad and no polaris.
I would, considering how the wii and wiiu turned out, and they are in the worst position ever in releasing a console. There brand has never been weaker.
We know history and history has taught us that Nintendo dropped the ball two times before with the 3DS and Wii U in terms of delivering on expectations of a high powered platform and third party support.
I'm so glad the Wi-Fi streaming screen controller is bogus.
Right now this thread is mostly people shaming imaginary people for being too hyped lol. I think the majority expected this.
There are going to be so many disappointed people when the thing is revealed.
It's clear that most of you did not even have your expectations or hype in check with this fatalist attitude happening now =/
Rumors are not gospels.
Now it's all negative in here for a barely negative debunk.
Zelda NX will be 1080/30fps.
That's about the only thing I'm confident about these days.
30 fps is fine for zelda regardless.
Referring to only resolution is not accurate. It needs context. Also, CPU does not really affect resolution at all.
